Cut off my tendons in my hands and feet to make me marry? Prepare to die!

Yue Yuan was shocked when he heard this.

He glanced out the window and spoke quickly:

"Ranran, father knows that you are angry about the actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but you cannot make random guesses about such things."

After all, Emperor Shengwen and Chu Hantian are father and son who are connected by blood. They, the Dingbei Palace, are kings of a different surname and cannot say such things casually.

Yue Ran understood his father's concerns.

Although there is no father-son relationship in the royal family, Chu Hantian has long been the crown prince, and there are no other princes in the palace who can threaten his position.

In the eyes of normal people, Chu Hantian would never give up his stable position as crown prince and take the risk of attempting to usurp the throne.

It’s a pity that Chu Hantian’s ambition is far beyond that of ordinary people.

He also met Feng Xiaolou, who understood his thoughts very well, and Yue Zihuan, who was willing to exchange the Dingbei Army for his future.

These people worked together with her contracted orcs, and they actually succeeded in their previous life!

Chu Hantian's position as the crown prince cannot be shaken without clear evidence of treason.

In that case, she could change her mindset and pull out his claws first.

"Father, I know my limits and will not say a word outside."

"Now my daughter is worried about her father's health."

Yue Ran squatted beside Yue Yuan, reached out and touched his father's dry arm, and couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.

In the past five years, she has been traveling around, hoping to win the battle to make the Dingbei Palace proud and make the Great Chu powerful.

But he ignored his father's health.

By the time she discovered it, Yue Yuan's health had actually deteriorated greatly.

"Father, how has the Song family taken care of you in the past few years?"

Yue Ran had never called Song "aunt" all her life. Now, even though Song had become the concubine, she was still just Song in Yue Ran's mouth.

Yue Yuan knew what his daughter meant. She suspected that the Song family was plotting against him.

But when he carefully recalled what the Song family had done over the years, he did not find anything unusual.

"Ms. Song has been very dedicated to my father. She personally prepares the medicine every day and personally delivers it to my father. She cannot rest assured until she sees my father drink the medicine."

"Every month, Song would invite a famous doctor to check father's pulse. If father had a headache or fever, she would ask a familiar imperial physician to treat him."

Yue Yuan reviewed his daily life over the past five years, and his memories were filled with Song's attentive care.

If Song had not been so obedient, he would not have been soft-hearted and agreed to Yue Zihuan's request to make Song his legal wife.

But since Yue Ran had clearly raised his doubts, Yue Yuan, looking at his increasingly thin body, had to re-examine Song's actions.

Yue Ran reached out to check his father's pulse.

She only had a basic understanding of medicine and had learned some of the basics from military doctors. At that time, it was because Hall was weak and sickly that she learned some medical skills in case of emergency.

Despite this, she also found that her father's pulse was weak and his vital energy was very insufficient.

"Has father taken all the expensive medicines at home?"

In addition to Tianyuan Dan, the ghost doctor Zhang Bujiu also gave a lot of other good medicines. If King Dingbei had been using these medicines to regulate his body, he should not have declined so seriously.

Yue Yuan hesitated and said:

"I have been taking it all these years. Every three days, the Song family will personally deliver the medicine..."

Yue Ran lowered his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

It’s the Song family again.

All the medicines my father used would pass through the Song family's hands.

The father and daughter looked at each other in silence.

it is more than words.

Yue Yuan held the armrest of the armchair, his fingers trembling slightly.

What is Song's plan?

He hated the old lady for plotting against him twice, and was annoyed that Song climbed into bed with him twice, causing Lu Qingyue's early death.

But he also knew that Song's background was poor, and if he kicked her out, she would not be able to survive on her own.

He never entered Song's room in these years, but he knew that he had never let her down in terms of food, clothing and other expenses, and he had done his best to raise the two sons she gave birth to.

He even had the idea of ​​asking Yue Zihuan to be crowned as the Crown Prince.

He thought she should be content.

He looked at the huge palace in front of him, and then at the thick military books on the table.

The greed of mankind is like a snake swallowing an elephant. The Song family can gain a lot.

Yue Ran stood up slowly and whispered:

"Father, Liu and Qin in the backyard have taken care of my younger sister for many years. I feel that they have worked hard even if they have no credit. It is really unfair for them to stay indoors all year round."

"Why don't you ask for permission tomorrow to make Liu and Qin concubines?"

Logically speaking, a daughter shouldn't interfere in her father's backyard affairs.

But the father should have an idea of ​​what the Song mother and son were planning.

The mother and son were even afraid that their father would live too long.

She was afraid that taking action now would require serious damage to the entire palace.

Yue Yuan took a deep breath. He didn't expect that at his old age, he still had to worry about these things in the backyard.

Both father and daughter are decisive people. Once they make a decision, they act very quickly.

According to the rules, the Dingbei Palace should have two concubines.

After Song was promoted to the position of the principal wife, the two vacancies for concubines remained vacant. The Prince of Dingbei was old and disabled, and no noblewoman in the capital was willing to marry into the Prince of Dingbei's mansion as a concubine.

Therefore, the Song family was the only powerful family in the Dingbei Palace and was in a very good mood throughout the year.

She just felt that she had finally made it and no longer had to live in fear in the backyard.

When the eunuch delivering imperial edicts from the palace entered the palace and learned that Qin and Liu were both named concubines, Song was unable to react for a while.

"Who? Qin and Liu? Both became concubines?"

Song stared blankly at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict and muttered to herself.

The eunuchs who delivered imperial edicts often moved between the palace and the court. They had experienced a lot of things and were naturally very shrewd people.

He glanced at the calm faces of Prince Dingbei and Princess Yue Ran, as well as the shocked faces of the concubine and the eldest son of the palace, Yue Zihuan, and made his own judgment in his mind.

"Princess Song, congratulations, you now have two more concubines to help you with your affairs, so you can have a rest on weekdays."

Song stood up woodenly and looked at King Dingbei blankly.

King Dingbei looked very natural. Seeing Song in a daze, he said in a deep voice:

"You are busy taking care of me every day, so you must be exhausted. From now on, Qin and Liu will jointly manage the household affairs of the palace."

When Song heard this, her face turned pale.

The two concubines whom she had never taken seriously suddenly became concubines.

Not only that, they even want to seize her housekeeper rights!

"Your Majesty! Is there anything I haven't done well enough? Why do you treat me like this?"

Song broke free from Yue Zihuan's arms, and her voice unconsciously became shrill.

She has only had a few good days?

Although the old princess liked to use her to torture the previous princess when she was alive, she was never allowed to have any influence on the housekeeper's power.

She finally outlasted the previous princess, the old princess, and Yue Ran, and finally got the title of successor princess.

It's only been a year, can't she be the housekeeper anymore?

Yue Ran smiled and said:

"What are you saying, Princess? You take good care of me, and I see it all. Now the household affairs of the palace are handed over to Concubine Qin and Concubine Liu. This is my care for you."

"From now on, Princess can focus on taking care of Father's health."

Song's eyes were bloodshot. She stared at Yue Ran and used all her strength to hold back from losing her temper.

It sounds nice, but in fact it means that she is not allowed to be in charge of the household affairs.

From now on, she, as a concubine, will be in name only.

Yue Zihuan held Song's hand tightly, and moved his gaze from King Dingbei's face to Yue Ran's face. He forced himself to calm his chaotic thoughts and forced out a smile:

"My eldest sister has been interfering in the affairs of our father's backyard since she came back. Is she used to being in charge of power in the North?"

He said this to King Dingbei.

The dignified King Dingbei actually let his daughter manage his own backyard. It would not sound good if it were to be spread out.

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan raised his old but clear eyes and looked deeply at his eldest son.

He had previously believed that his eldest son had learned some of the character of a great scholar, but now it seems that he had been blind for a long time.

"Don't you have anything to do all day? As a man, you only focus on the backyard. You have no future!"

In front of everyone, King Dingbei's words of scolding Yue Zihuan were quite harsh.

Yue Zihuan's face also turned pale, and he lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict seemed to have heard nothing. He took the gold ingots handed over by Yue Ran with a smile, bowed and left.

When he returns to the palace, he will tell His Majesty about this exciting event.
