After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Doctor Li was found, and he was locked up in a corner of the cold palace.

The guard carried him to Eunuch An.

When Eunuch An took a look, he saw that Doctor Li was already dying.

"Quick, get Doctor Li to come to the palace immediately."

Eunuch An hurriedly asked the guards to send the person to the Imperial Hospital.

"Eunuch An, we found another person."

A guard came up to Eunuch An and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Who, who else?"

Eunuch An looked confused.

"Princess Anyang." The guards carried the person up.

Eunuch An walked over to take a look in disbelief.

How come the princess is in the palace?

The person carried by the guards was indeed Anyang.

However, she was covered with scars.

The tendons in his hands and feet were cut, and his face was scratched.

"Princess! Princess!"

Eunuch An called out twice tentatively.

Two lines of tears flowed down Anyang's face.

Seeing that she was still alive, Eunuch An ordered people to carry her to the Imperial Hospital.

He ran to report to the emperor.

The emperor heard the eunuch An's report that Anyang was tortured by someone unknown to the point that he was no longer recognizable.

He thought of what the secret guard said, that the Queen and the Prince suffocated his substitute to death with a pillow.

Disgust showed on his face.

"Don't allow the Imperial Hospital to treat her! Let her die on her own."

"Yes."

Eunuch An quickly withdrew.

He found that the current emperor was becoming more and more moody.

Although, the Queen and the former Crown Prince did something wrong.

However, Princess Anyang is indeed the emperor's own flesh and blood.

The emperor was so cruel as to not provide medical treatment!

Eunuch An felt a chill from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

Mu Sheng returned to Prince Qi's Mansion safely, and Shen Yunjin cried with joy.

As soon as she saw Xiao Minshen appear, she pounced on him.

Xiao Minshen picked her up.

"Didn't I tell you to take good care of yourself after childbirth? Why are you going to bed again?"

Jinzhi also had a face full of complaints.

"Your Majesty doesn't listen to our advice at all. You haven't had a good sleep in the past few days."

"After hearing that the prince had returned safely, the queen insisted on waiting for him at the door, and the servants couldn't stop her."

Shen Yunjin poked her head out from Xiao Minshen's arms.

"You little bitch, you actually dared to accuse me in front of me. It seems that I love you too much!"

Jinzhi was not convinced.

"My lady, if you had listened to my advice, I would not have complained."

Shen Yunjin looked at Xiao Minshen pitifully.

“My Lord, now even the maids dare to bully me, I am so pitiful!”

Xiao Minshen put Shen Yunjin on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Then he pinched her nose.

"I actually think that Jinzhi is doing a good job."

"You, you have to stay in confinement for a full month this time."

"Your Highness, it's summer now, and it's the second month of the lunar calendar. I'm going to stink by then."

Shen Yunjin lay on the bed, blinking his eyes.

Xiao Minshen lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't worry, this king doesn't mind, no one dares to say anything."

"My Lord, what is going on in the palace today?"

Shen Yunjin was really worried and couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Minshen told Shen Yunjin what had happened.

"I discussed this with Eunuch An before and asked him to take my father to find a place to hide."

"But, I didn't expect that I would be picked up by my third brother."

Xiao Minshen leaned on the bed with a deep look in his eyes.

"The Second Prince certainly didn't expect that the imperial seal that he had searched all over the capital and couldn't find was actually right under his nose."

Shen Yunjin felt that even a storybook couldn't write such a brilliant story.

"Yes, my second brother had the imperial seal remade specifically for his ascension to the throne."

"Your Majesty, tell me, if the former crown prince knew that the emperor was not dead, would he regret running away?"

"No matter what our father does, Xiao Minxuan will never be able to take the throne."

Hearing this, Shen Yunjin nodded.

The former crown prince is not a prince and has no right to sit on the throne.

After all, the emperor has so many princes.

But, it’s a pity for the Crown Princess!

Shen Yunjin changed his mind.

"Your Majesty, are we going to bring Bao'er and the others back?"

Shen Yunjin felt heartbroken just thinking about the child leaving her side as soon as it was born.

"Not for now. Father is not in good health. Today, he couldn't breathe after speaking a few words."

There was a flash of worry in Xiao Minshen's eyes.

What he didn't say was that there was already a prince as a role model, and no one knew whether there would be a second prince.

The second prince had worked hard to ascend the throne, but now his dream was shattered.

I don’t know what tricks he will use to deal with everyone in the future.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu requests to see you."

Fulu reported outside the door.

Xiao Minshen stood up and said, "Have a good rest and don't think about anything. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"Yeah." Shen Yunjin closed his eyes.

Xiao Minshen went to the study, where Concubine Liu was sitting there, staring at the teacup in her hand.

Hearing footsteps, she slowly stood up and looked at Xiao Minshen who walked in.

Xiao Minshen walked in expressionlessly and sat down.

"Your Majesty, you knew long ago that the Emperor is not dead, he is still alive?"

Concubine Liu questioned Xiao Minshen with a sad face.

When she returned to the Duke's Mansion that day, she first knelt down and begged her father to save her brother.

However, my father kept talking about other issues and refused to give in.

Finally, she repeated what the prince had taught her.

In the past, her father, who always looked kind to her, raised his hand and slapped her.

He also ordered his servants to drive her out.

And he declared loudly at the door that from now on, he would cut off all ties with them.

She cried and begged her father, but the servant pushed her away.

She watched the door of the Duke's Mansion close tightly in front of her.

She knelt at the door for half a day, and finally returned to Prince Qi's mansion in a daze.

She thought that Liu Zongyuan had no hope.

Unexpectedly, she heard today that the emperor was not dead.

The second prince did not ascend the throne either.

Her brother is saved now!

After she calmed down, she thought about the cause and effect of the matter and found that Xiao Minshen seemed to have known for a long time that the emperor was not dead.

Xiao Minshen saw that Concubine Liu looked aggrieved.

He knocked on the arm of the chair.

"So what if I know, so what if I don't know?"

When Concubine Liu heard these words, she became very excited.

"Since Your Majesty knows that the Emperor is still alive, then my brother will not die. Why do you want me to go back and threaten my father?"

"Now, my father has declared to everyone that he has severed ties with us!"

Xiao Minshen looked at Concubine Liu with a smile.

"You didn't threaten the Duke at the beginning, did you?"

"But did he agree?"

Concubine Liu shed tears.

"It is because he didn't agree that you threatened him, right?"

"In that case, if he is the one not saved, what does it have to do with me?"
