But the second prince rubbed his hair irritably, his voice full of indignation.

"It's true that my eldest sister brought back the high-yield grain, but my father didn't let me take charge of this matter... It's ridiculous that I was still waiting for my father to teach me this matter... If I could lead people to grow this grain, the ministers who supported me to be the crown prince would definitely be twice as many as they are now..."

After saying this, the second prince covered his face with his hands in pain and leaned back in his chair dejectedly.

If he missed this great opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to take the throne of the crown prince...

I am the eldest son of my father, but he has many other sons...

Now that my father is in good health, he will definitely give birth to other princes.

Just now, the third princess said that her mother was under house arrest by her father, and she didn’t know when she would be released.

If my father takes in a new favorite and deposes the unfavored queen, my chances of becoming the crown prince will be even slimmer.

When Concubine Zhuang saw him in such pain, her heart felt like it was being cooked in hot oil.

"My son, what should we do? How about your mother write a letter to your grandfather and ask him to persuade your father? I will go and ask the queen. The emperor has doted on the queen for many years, and he will definitely listen to her words..."

The second prince sneered, thinking that he really shouldn't have come to his mother's place today.

Let my grandfather go to persuade my father, and he won’t be afraid that his entire family will lose their heads!

My maternal grandfather was originally an eighth-rank official, and was promoted to the sixth rank because my mother gave birth to a prince.

My grandfather had no military power and no say in the court, so how could he persuade my father to hand over the issue of growing grain to him?

What? Did my grandfather rely on his face to convince my father?

The second prince sat up a little straighter and said tiredly, "Mother, there is no need to look for the Queen Mother... I heard that the Queen Mother was not only confined to her house, but even her title of Queen was taken back... From now on, we have to rely on ourselves!"

Concubine Zhuang's expression froze, and then she said in disbelief, "How could it be? Who in the palace doesn't know that the emperor has doted on the queen over the years? Why would he confine the queen and... take back the queen's seal? This... this is no small matter! There has never been a queen in this dynasty who took back her seal before deposing her..."

Concubine Zhuang's heart couldn't stop sinking, and she suddenly looked at the Second Prince in panic.

"My son, your father...your father doesn't want to depose the queen, does he?"

If the emperor really wants to depose the queen, what should I and my son do?

Over the years, he has been dependent on the queen and has done many evil things for her.

If the queen is deposed, the first ones to suffer will definitely be herself and the prince!

Then Concubine Rong and Concubine Xian will not forgive me!

Concubine Zhuang nervously held the Second Prince's hand and said, "My son, you must take the throne of the Crown Prince! This way, we mother and son won't have to worry about their revenge anymore..."

The second prince saw his mother was frightened, and hurriedly spoke to comfort her: "Mother, I will definitely protect you! You can rest assured... It's getting late, mother, please go to bed... I will take my leave now!"

After the second prince finished speaking, he left quickly.

He was afraid that if he continued to tell his mother, she would become even more frightened.

Forget it. I can’t count on my mother, so I’d better find a way to solve it myself.

Concubine Zhuang watched the second prince leave.

At this moment, her heart was extremely flustered and her whole body began to tremble.

I was close to Concubine Xian back then, and the bowl of abortion-preserving medicine she received when she had a miscarriage was given to her by the Queen...

She and Concubine Xian were close friends, so Concubine Xian had no guard against her at all.

At that time, I was just a small official. If I didn't hurt others, I would be the one who died...

Moreover, the virtuous concubine was favored at that time, but she lost a child. Later, didn't she give birth to the fourth princess Shi Jinse?

There is also Concubine Rong, whose prince also died at her hands.

And the concubines who died in his own hands...

The more Concubine Zhuang thought about it, the more frightened she became. She huddled at the end of the bed, trembling all over.

...

The next morning, Shi Jinyao was still deep in sleep when she felt her body suddenly get cold.

She sat up irritably and cursed: "Bingwu, how dare you lift my quilt, are you tired of living?"

After saying that, she grabbed the quilt and covered herself with it again.

Just as Shi Jinyao lay down, she heard a sneer.

"Get out! Don't disturb my sleep!"

Shi Wu Yue walked slowly to the bedside and said softly, "My sister is really a forgetful person~ This is not my sister's Changle Palace, this is the side hall of Wangchun Palace! Someone, help the third princess to wash! Today the third princess will not wear brocade clothes, but this..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jianpo beside her stuffed the coarse cloth in his hand into Bingwu's hand.

Poor Bingwu held her clothes with one hand and hung the other hand around her neck.

Now when she saw Qin Yin Jian Po, she felt pain in her other wrist as well!

No! Not only her wrist hurt, but her whole body hurt.

Bing Wu glanced at Shi Wu Yue timidly, then quickly walked to the bedside.

"Princess, it's time to get up..."

Shi Jinyao suddenly sat up and looked at Shi Wu Yue with an annoyed look.

She was about to curse out loud when she saw Bingwu winking at her.

This is not my Changle Palace!

"I need to wash and change clothes, get out!"

Just get up, my stomach is growling with hunger anyway!

She was not afraid of that crazy woman Shi Wu Yue, she was just too hungry.

Shi Wu Yue stared at Shi Jin Yao, who was frantic on the bed, snorted coldly, then turned around and led his men out.

"Bingwu, are you my servant or that crazy woman's servant? Why didn't you stop her when she broke in just now?"

Shi Jinyao sat in front of the dressing table with her cheeks puffed out, questioning Bingwu who was standing beside her in a low voice.

"Princess, I am innocent! It's not that I don't want to stop it, I just can't stop it... You also know that the two maids around the eldest princess are strong and good at fighting..."

Shi Jinyao said impatiently: "Alright, I don't want to hear your excuses, get out!"

Bing Wu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted his expression and bowed and walked away.

After washing and changing her clothes, Shi Jinyao frowned as she looked at the coarse cloth clothes.

"Take this dress out and throw it away! Wearing such a dress will only scratch my skin, you ignorant dog slave!"

By the time the palace maid helped Shi Jinyao change her clothes, Shi Wu Yue was already getting a little impatient.

At this moment, seeing Shi Jinyao walking out surrounded by palace maids, his face couldn't help but darken.

She strode over and looked at the palace maid behind Shi Jinyao and shouted, "Where is that coarse cloth dress? Why don't you let the third princess wear it? How dare you disobey my order?"

She is now the eldest princess who will soon be given a title, and the old woman said herself that she can discipline Shi Jinyao at any time.

She wanted Shi Jinyao to suffer all the pain she had endured in Beixiao.

She felt unbalanced. Why could Shi Jinyao and others enjoy themselves comfortably in Beichen, while she had to go to Beixiao to suffer?

Do you think she is so glorious now? That is all earned by her forbearance in Beixiao!
