Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Ye Ling'er returned to Xiuzhen Palace, and Xiao Cui came to greet her anxiously: "You are finally back, Madam. The little prince is vomiting and having diarrhea. You should go and see him."

When Ye Ling'er heard this, her face changed drastically and she quickly followed Xiao Cui to the next room, where she saw the little prince crying in his wet nurse's arms and vomiting a pool of filth on the ground.

Ye Ling'er was distressed and quickly told Xiao Cui to invite the imperial physician. She held the little prince in her arms, gently stroked his little face, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, the imperial physician will be here soon."

Soon, the imperial physician hurried over. After a careful diagnosis, he frowned and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the little prince seems to have eaten something wrong, or he seems to have been poisoned... Please forgive me for not making any rash judgments."

Ye Linger was extremely anxious and asked hurriedly, "What medicine can be used to treat it?" The imperial physician hesitated for a moment and said, "For now, we can only prescribe some mild medicines and observe the condition. But if we want to cure it, we need to further investigate the cause."

Ye Ling'er's face became more and more ugly. She knew that if the little prince just had diarrhea because he ate the wrong thing, it would be better. But if someone poisoned him, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Imperial Physician, please write a prescription as soon as possible. No matter what, you must cure the little prince's illness, otherwise don't blame me for being rude..." Ye Ling'er said sternly.

"I obey your order!" The imperial physician quickly stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and wrote down a prescription quickly.

In the next few days, Ye Ling'er took care of the little prince personally and hardly slept. At the same time, she secretly sent people to investigate the little prince's diet and daily life, and never let go of any suspicious points.

After the little prince took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, his condition improved slightly and he stopped vomiting, but he still had diarrhea. This made Ye Ling'er extremely anxious.

She immediately sent someone to report to the emperor. After hearing the news, the emperor hurried over and asked about the incident. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The palace was tense. Everyone knew how much the emperor valued the little prince. If the real culprit could not be found, many people would be implicated.

Ye Ling'er took good care of the little prince while discussing countermeasures with the emperor. She firmly believed that someone must be behind this and was determined to find out who was behind it.

During the investigation, various clues gradually surfaced. However, at the critical moment, a shocking discovery caught everyone by surprise - the person who poisoned the little prince was the little prince's nanny! It turned out that the nanny was bribed and secretly poisoned the little prince's food.

Ye Ling'er kept asking the nurse who had ordered her to poison the little prince, but the nurse kept her lips tightly shut, unwilling to utter a word. Ye Ling'er stared at the nurse sharply and shouted, "Will you tell me? If you don't, I have plenty of ways to make you tell me." The nurse's body trembled slightly, beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, and her face turned pale. In the end, the nurse hardened her heart, bit her tongue, and committed suicide.

The emperor and Ye Ling'er were stunned by this sudden change. They never thought that the murderer would be the little prince's closest wet nurse. The emperor was furious and slammed the table and shouted to the guards beside him: "Investigate this matter immediately and find out who is behind it!" His voice echoed throughout the palace with uncontrollable anger.

Ye Ling'er's eyes flashed with determination. She clenched her fists tightly and secretly made up her mind to find out the mastermind behind the incident and seek justice for the little prince. She knew that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this incident and she must not let the murderer go unpunished.

After some twists and turns, Ye Ling'er finally uncovered the truth. It turned out that Concubine Mei was jealous of Ye Ling'er's favor from the emperor, so she bribed the wet nurse and tried to murder the little prince. When Ye Ling'er learned the truth, she gnashed her teeth and cursed, "What a vicious woman!" She wanted to tear Concubine Mei into pieces immediately.

The emperor was furious when he learned the truth and immediately ordered Mei Fei to be demoted to Mei Cairen and fined for one year. Mei Fei was extremely shocked when she heard the news and knelt down with tears in her eyes and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I really didn't know about this..." But the emperor had made up his mind and was not moved at all.

As Concubine Mei was demoted, the palace turmoil gradually subsided. Ye Ling'er successfully avenged the little prince and consolidated her position in the harem.

From then on, her status in the palace was unmatched.

As the days passed, the little prince gradually recovered. Ye Ling'er's heart finally settled down, and she decided to protect the little prince more carefully in the future.

One day, Ye Ling'er was walking in the garden and ran into the demoted Concubine Mei, Mei Cairen. She looked haggard, and her former elegance was long gone.

"Looking at you, you're so pitiful." Ye Ling'er sneered.

Mei Cairen raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment, "You framed me!"

Ye Ling'er looked at her with disdain, "So what? Do you dare to say that you have no intention of harming my little prince? Do you think your evil deeds can be concealed from the world?"

Mei Cairen bit her lip and said, "Don't be too proud. One day, you will be punished!"

Ye Linger smiled and said, "Then let's wait until that day comes. However, given your current situation, are you still qualified to fight me?"

After saying that, Ye Ling'er turned and left, leaving Mei Cairen indignant. She secretly vowed to find a way to reveal Ye Ling'er's true face.

Mei Fei, who was demoted, began to plan carefully, trying to find something to hold against Ye Ling'er. After a while, Mei Cairen noticed that Ye Ling'er and a guard were too intimate. She was secretly happy, thinking that she had found an opportunity for revenge.

One day, Mei Fei told the Queen Mother the news. The Queen Mother was shocked and said she would tell the Emperor immediately. Just as they were preparing to act, Ye Ling'er got wind of it in advance.

Ye Ling'er knew that if the emperor knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous. She decided to take the initiative and trap Mei Cairen...

Ye Ling'er found the guard and pretended to talk to him in a friendly manner, and deliberately let Mei Fei's maid see it. Then, she arranged an "accident" so that the guard "accidentally" said something unfavorable to Ye Ling'er.

After Mei Cairen learned about it, she excitedly reported the matter to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. However, when the Emperor questioned Ye Ling'er, she burst into tears and complained about her grievances. Ye Ling'er said that she was framed by Mei Cairen and had nothing to do with the guard. She also pointed out that Mei Cairen had intended to murder the little prince before, and now he was maliciously slandering her with ulterior motives.

After hearing this, the emperor was furious and lost his last bit of trust in Concubine Mei. He never set foot in her bedroom again.

From then on, Ye Ling'er completely eliminated Mei Fei, the biggest worry in her heart, and her position in the harem became more and more stable...
