Long Live the Empress

After Yue Yuyan was tortured, she was sent directly to Changqing Temple by the people from the Princess's Mansion without even asking for a doctor. When someone went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the news, Yue Jinghong had just returned home.

The old lady fainted from fright when she heard the eldest princess and the crown prince scolding the young lady of the prime minister's mansion for being uneducated and disrespectful to the royal family.

The Second Aunt had originally expected Yue Yuyan to make a splash and bring her good news, but she didn't expect this to happen. She sat on the ground crying like a shrew, saying that someone was jealous of Yue Yuyan and deliberately harmed her...

Yue Jinghong was standing aside wiping her tears when she was suddenly slapped by the Second Aunt. "Tell me, did you intentionally harm your sister? You are jealous that she is prettier than you, and that she has won the favor of the noble, so you framed her like this! Isn't that right!"

The Second Aunt cried out at the top of her lungs, tightly grasping Yue Jinghong's collar and reaching out to hit her again, but was pushed to the ground by Yue Hanwen, "It's all because of the good daughter you taught her that she caused such a disaster! Fortunately, she was the only one to be punished. If it implicated the Prime Minister's Mansion, we would all be dead!"

Second Aunt stopped crying, she just stared blankly at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes. That was his biological daughter, how could he be so cold-blooded and heartless...

Yue Hanwen asked Yue Jinghong to tell him what happened today, and the news was exactly the same as what came from the princess's mansion. "Jinghong, you did a great job today. I think the nobles will look at you differently. Go back and have a rest. Let the doctor take a look at you later. What if your face is broken?"

Yue Jinghong didn't say a word to blame the Second Aunt. She just covered her face with her hands in grievance, bowed and left with tears in her eyes.

When the second aunt saw Yue Jinghong was about to leave, she got up from the ground and started to beat her again.

"Since you feel so sorry for that beast, I will send you to Changqing Temple to accompany her..."

The Second Aunt paused when she heard Yue Hanwen's warning words. If she left, who would plead for her and Yuyan? Maybe no one would remember that there was a Third Miss in the Prime Minister's Mansion... She cried and ran back to her own courtyard, never wanting to see Yue Hanwen's selfish face again...

Qingyun Garden

When Aunt Su heard that Yue Jinghong was beaten by Second Aunt, she staggered over. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Zhenzhu applying an egg to Yue Jinghong's face.

Aunt Su opened Pearl's hand and saw a red finger mark on her delicate skin. Aunt Su was so angry that she wanted to take people to settle the score with Second Aunt!

Yue Jinghong quickly stopped her and told her about Yue Yuyan's fate. "Humph, even if that bastard died, it would not be as good as the slap you received! In the future, I will make that bastard know how powerful I am!" Aunt Su felt a little comforted when she heard that Yue Yuyan was not only beaten with a hundred sticks, but also sent to a nunnery. "What happened to Jinghong today?"

Yue Jinghong then told her plan: It turned out that the information brought by Aunt Su said that the princess liked to wear red, so when they were selecting fabrics, she deliberately picked red, making Yue Yuyan think that red was the first choice. Then, when she first arrived at the princess's mansion, she went to a secluded place in the mansion with a group of noble ladies, and asked Yue Yuyan to dress up in an exaggerated way to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. When the princess and the prince questioned her, she took the initiative to take the blame, in order to highlight Yue Yuyan's viciousness...

Aunt Su listened to her daughter's plan step by step and nodded with satisfaction, "Jinghong, you've done a great job! When you marry into the prince's mansion in the future, there will definitely be a lot of women in the mansion. If you don't have ruthless means, won't those bitches climb over your head? But don't let your face get hurt under any circumstances. A beautiful face is the foundation of a woman's survival! You must remember this!"

Yue Jinghong nodded obediently, and hesitated for a long time before making up her mind, "Auntie, I think the Fourth Prince is also very good... Not only is he handsome, but he is also healthy..."

"No! The fourth prince's biological mother was only a concubine, and her family had no real power. Such a prince will never ascend to a high position! Besides, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely give these princes fiefdoms, and they will not be allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict. Do you want to live in that bitter and cold place for the rest of your life?" Aunt Su explained the seriousness of the matter to Yue Jinghong.

When Yue Jinghong heard that she could never return to the capital, she was already shaken. How could a fiefdom be compared with the prosperous capital? She didn't want to just be a prince's consort and live a bitter and cold life. What she wanted was to ascend to a high position... "Auntie, I don't need to worry...I will listen to you!"

Only then did Aunt Su take the egg from Zhenzhu's hand and apply it to Yue Jinghong's face with heartache.

Jinyuyuan

Yue Jinghao listened to Lao Zheng's report and smiled slightly. She moved the wick to make the candlelight brighter.

At midnight, a green-roofed carriage left from the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The carriage stopped at a dark alley.

After waiting for half an hour, Nanny Hong saw a figure stumbling towards her, and her rough hands clenched tightly.

The woman saw Lao Zheng on the carriage and knelt on the ground, crying and begging, "Sir, please save my daughter... There is someone..."

Before he could finish his words, Lao Zheng saw a group of people chasing after him with sticks. The woman was so scared that she ran away.

"Come on up..." Yue Jinghao in the carriage let Manou help her in.

Seeing someone rescued the woman, the leading man rushed over with a stick, but Madam Hong grabbed the stick and knocked him to the ground. A silver ingot was thrown out of the carriage, "I'll buy this woman, give me the contract of sale!"

The man picked up the silver ingot on the ground and bit it, then looked at the carriage with a sly smile, "Miss, why don't you come down and talk to me? Maybe I will give this girl to you?"

Old Zheng and Madam Hong were about to step forward to teach the man a lesson when they heard the young lady's sneer. "Okay, come to Qiansui Mansion tomorrow and I'll have a good talk with you! How do you think?"

The Ninth Prince's Mansion? He didn't dare to go there even if he had the guts. He immediately handed the indenture contract to Madam Hong respectfully, took the silver and left.

Yue Jinghao handed the indenture contract and a purse to the woman, "Here is your indenture contract and some silver. Leave the capital tomorrow morning!"

The woman knelt in the carriage and thanked him profusely, but she refused to accept the offer. "Miss, my family was in trouble and all my relatives died. A few days ago, I was sold to a brothel by a trafficker. If you hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid I would be dead now... Please take me in!"

Yue Jinghao looked at Su Hongfu, a famous prostitute who had caused a sensation in her previous life, kneeling at her feet, and her mind was filled with thoughts. This Su Hongfu was also a resourceful person. Not only did she hold the dignitaries firmly in her hands, but she also fascinated the prince. Not only did he spend a fortune on her, but he also spent his days in revelry and ignored state affairs for her. It was for this reason that the old emperor was extremely disappointed with the prince and appointed Wei Zilin as the prince instead. In her previous life, Yue Jinghao could see that she admired Wei Zilin, so she patiently persuaded her to seduce the prince and help Wei Zilin ascend to the throne...

"I have no shortage of servants around me, so you'd better go!" Yue Jinghao stuffed the purse into her hand and asked her to leave.

Su Hongfu panicked. Those minions of the brothel were everywhere. She might be caught by them to accompany customers as soon as she stepped off the carriage. She didn't want to be a prostitute with a pair of beautiful arms that everyone rested on... "Miss, I will do anything you ask me to do. Please save me. If I get caught again, I will die... Please, miss..."

"Ah..." Yue Jinghao sighed and held her slender wrist. "I have a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. Tomorrow I'll ask Lao Zheng to take you there to take shelter. Get well first. I'll come to see you in half a month..."

Su Hongfu thought about it and nodded in agreement. Old Zheng found her an inn to stay in, and they returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Two men in fluttering clothes were standing on a high pavilion in the alley.

"Master, this woman is too arrogant. She even dared to use your name! I will kill her right now!" Guard Wang Yi looked angrily at the green-topped carriage that left...

The man in the crimson robe had a devilish look on his face. "No need. How can such a fun thing be killed so easily..."

Wang Yi secretly glanced at his master, his body trembling, and he mourned for the woman in the carriage for a moment...

After these incidents, Manju admired Yue Jinghao very much, and even the old servants looked at her differently. They wanted to know how the young lady could predict the future? But no one asked, but made up their minds to do everything the young lady asked them to do properly in the future...

Yue Jinghao thought about the things about her past life and Su Hongfu, closed her eyes, and tightly grasped the quilt...

The next day, Lao Zheng sent Su Hongfu to the outskirts of Beijing, gave a few instructions to the maids, and drove away in his carriage.

Su Hongfu looked at the courtyard with three entrances and three exits. Whether it was the pavilions, towers, rockeries or flowing water, they all revealed the extraordinary status of the owner. Seeing that the maids were all well-behaved and polite, she felt at ease to stay there.

Old Zheng did not drive his carriage back directly, but brought a doctor to Changqing Temple.

He stuffed a bag of silver into the little nun who was guarding the back door and took the doctor to Yue Yuyan's house.

The door was not closed, Yue Yuyan wanted to drink some water, and she called for someone to come over several times, but no one answered, so she tried to reach out for the bowl despite her injured body. However, she was so badly injured that she didn't even have the strength to pick up the bowl. Not only did the bowl break, but she also rolled off the wooden bed to the ground.

"Ah..." Yue Yuyan's cry of pain spread throughout the Changqing Temple, but no one came to see her.

Seeing that the time was right, Lao Zheng and the doctor went forward and lifted Yue Yuyan onto the bed. The doctor quickly examined and treated her...

After a long time, Yue Yuyan finally woke up and looked at Lao Zheng with a dazed look in her eyes, "You are..."

"This servant greets the Third Miss. I am a servant of the First Miss. When the First Miss heard that you were injured, she sent this servant to secretly bring someone to check on your injury."

"That stupid... How did big sister know that I had no one to take care of me?" Yue Yuyan couldn't believe that Yue Jinghao would show her kindness at this time. Her aunt didn't even come to see her, let alone others.

"This... I am a straightforward servant, so I won't beat around the bush. When the master and the old lady heard that you had offended someone... they ordered that no one in the mansion was allowed to visit you or hire a doctor for you, and also said... that they would just pretend that they had never given birth to a daughter like you. When the eldest lady heard about you, she cried until her eyes were swollen. She asked me to pawn some of my jewelry, hire a doctor for you, and give some to the nuns so that you wouldn't have to live such a hard life..."

Lying on the bed, Yue Yuyan couldn't believe that she had been abandoned by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The only one who still cared about her was Yue Jinghao, whom she had always looked down upon...

..........................................

Yue Jing listened to Lao Zheng's report and nodded with satisfaction. It's nothing to add icing on the cake. Only when you help others in need will you be appreciated. Su Hongfu is grateful, and so is Yue Yuyan...

Yue Jinghao took Manju to the second aunt's yard.

At this moment, the Second Aunt no longer had the charm of the past! "Why, Miss, are you here to see me make fun of me?"

Yue Jinghao ignored her ridicule and told her about Yue Yuyan's stay at Changqing Temple. Second Aunt covered her face and cried, "Although Third Miss is a concubine's daughter, she was also brought up in pampered and spoiled since she was a child. How could she have suffered such hardships... I was rude just now, please don't blame me, Miss. Thank you for taking care of Third Miss. Your kindness and kindness will be remembered by me and Third Miss!"

Yue Jinghao also wiped her tears and personally helped up the second aunt who was kneeling on the ground to thank her. "The most important thing right now is how to bring the third sister back! When I think of the third sister suffering in the nunnery, I..." She wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief and said, "Brother Hong is really something. Although study is important, he didn't even come back to see what happened in the mansion. As the only male in the Yue family, he should share the worries of his father and grandmother..."

Second Aunt could no longer hear what Yue Jinghao said next. The words "the only male child of the Yue family" kept echoing in her mind. If she could also give birth to a male child, the master would be so happy that he might ask the eldest princess to release the third young lady...

Yue Jing looked at her in silence, and left sobbing. As soon as she entered the hospital gate, a faint smile appeared on her face, without a trace of sadness...

That afternoon, the second aunt asked someone to find a prescription. It was said that this prescription could give birth to a boy in one go! She quickly ordered the maid to sneak out of the house and find an old doctor to look at the prescription. If there was no problem, she would bring back a prescription.

Not long after, the maid came back with a dose of medicine.

Second Auntie ordered the maid to boil the medicine and make a bowl of Tremella and Pear juice. She took out a small medicine bottle from the secret compartment of her makeup box and quickly poured out a little of the juice and sprinkled it on herself.

Yue Hanwen was feeling very upset about Yue Yuyan's affairs when the second aunt came.

"What are you doing here?"

"The weather is dry. Yesterday, I noticed that the corners of Master's mouth were chapped, so I thought of bringing him a bowl of Tremella and Snow Pear juice. Master, please try it!" The Second Aunt pretended not to hear his unkind words and spoke to herself.

Yue Han originally wanted to refuse, but the Second Aunt used some kind of rouge today, and the smell was surprisingly tempting...

"You smell so good..." Yue Hanwen took a deep breath at her neck and couldn't leave...

A beautiful night in the study...
