The head of the Imperial Medical Service just lay on the ground trembling and dared not say a word.

Could he say that Prince An's health had been tormented by Concubine Li in the palace over the past two years?

He doesn't dare!

If you say it, you will die. If you don’t say it, you will die!

If he told Concubine Li, his whole family would be killed. If he didn't tell the emperor, he would be killed alone. He knew which was more important!

So the head of the Imperial Hospital just lay on the ground, shaking non-stop, clenching his teeth and not daring to say a word.

There was a sinister glimpse in Concubine Li's eyes. It was all this brat's mother's fault. She had set a trap for her before she died, causing her to spend two months in the cold palace!

Concubine Li pinched herself hard, and the pain made her eyes tear up:

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. It's all my fault that I committed such a terrible crime when I was young. Every time I think of this, I wish I could follow my sister! Wuuwuwu~"

Concubine Li threw herself into Emperor Wende's arms and cried bitterly.

Emperor Wende looked at Concubine Li with a complicated expression, which finally turned into a long sigh.

One of the two women he loved most in his life had already passed away because of him, and he couldn't repeat the same mistake with the remaining one.

He didn't want to experience the heartache of losing a loved one a second time.

Concubine Li cried for a long time. Seeing that Emperor Wende had not responded, she was thinking about whether to change her strategy. Then Emperor Wende gently patted her on the back and said:

"The dead cannot be resurrected, so let the past be the past. We who are still alive should still look forward, right?"

Concubine Li paused and curled her lips to smile. It seemed that her money was not wasted in vain. Jiang Debao really told the emperor what she said without leaving any trace!

Jiang Debao stood aside with his head lowered and his eyes submissive, not saying a word, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

He was just a servant who did his best to follow the emperor's orders.

"Your Majesty, I think Prince An is too lonely. Why don't we choose a concubine for him to accompany him during the last journey of his life, so that he won't be too lonely."

Concubine Li wiped her tears and looked at Emperor Wende with a sad face.

Humph, Queen Xiao dug such a big hole for herself before she died, she must pay it back!

No matter which family's daughter is chosen, the anger will be transferred to Queen Xiao's family in the future. No family wants their daughter to be a widow at such a young age!

After marrying the eldest prince and becoming the Imperial Jade Butterfly, there will be no possibility of marrying again in this life!

Since she and her son are both dead, let her parents' family pay off the debt for them!

At that time, the chosen family will only transfer their anger to the family of the eldest prince's only grandfather. Humph, that woman is already dead, so is there no way for him to take revenge on her?

You really underestimated Lin Yanran!

Emperor Wende thought about it again and again and finally nodded in agreement. Although this would be unfair to the chosen girl, he would compensate her mother's family.

.......

Xie Yiyao was still lying on the soft couch in her room with her legs crossed, flipping through a small sketchbook and eating snacks.

Tinghe made sweet wine for her, and Yaqin and Nanxu massaged her legs on her left and right. She lived a very comfortable life.

It is true that it is easier to go from frugality to extravagance than from extravagance to frugality.

She has been used to such a rich life, she can't bear to live in poverty again!

Xie Yiyao looked with satisfaction at the four maids who were taking care of her meticulously. Each of these four maids had her own specialties.

Liuyan is the best at martial arts, Tinghe is the most sociable, Yaqin is meticulous, and Nanxu is an excellent cook. Each of them is her favorite!

She can't live without any of them!

Now she suddenly understood those scumbag men who were surrounded by women.

They really each have their own merits!

"Miss, the old lady said that she has hired a master for you, who will teach you music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework from tomorrow. She asked me to persuade you well."

Yaqin observed Xie Yiyao for several times, and remembering the death order given to her by Old Lady Xie, she mustered up the courage to speak to Xie Yiyao.

"My great-grandmother still won't give up! Ever since I entered the Xie family, she has been trying to get me to learn those useless things. Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework are just some fancy tricks that only look good but are useless! I won't learn them!"

Xie Yiyao was reading a small sketchbook intently and refused without even raising her head!

She usually practices in the morning, studies medicine and makes elixirs in the afternoon, and takes two days off every five days. Her schedule is very clear, so there is no time to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music and dance!

It seems that her great-grandmother has been pursuing her too closely recently. Whenever she has two days off, Nan Xu always nags her to learn useless things.

"But...Miss, these are things that a noble lady must learn. If you don't learn them now, it will be too late."

Nan Xu was a little anxious. If the young lady was unwilling to learn, when she reached marriage age in a few years, she would not even have any talents to show off when she went out to attend banquets, and she would inevitably be passive in her marriage!

The most important thing for a girl is to marry into a good family!

Xie Yiyao rolled her eyes. Here it comes again!

It seems that girls in ancient times started planning how to get married as soon as they were born, as if girls were born just to get married!

She doesn't!

She insisted on staying in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion for the rest of her life and being an old maid forever!

All men are unlucky!

If she hadn't looked at that man a little longer in her previous life, she wouldn't have been hit to death by the mecha!

Nan Xu looked at Xie Yiyao who was completely unmoved and wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Xie Yiyao:

"Nan Xu, I know you and my great-grandmother are doing this for my own good. You're worried that I won't be able to marry into a good family and won't have a good future."

"But, Nan Xu, you know, I was born poor, and I actually have no sense of security in my heart. I won't waste time learning those useless things. I will only spend my time learning the skills to make a living. This is the instinct of us poor girls. Of course, I will not put my fate on a man or anyone else."

"The ladies of the aristocratic families learn to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework because they are born into a wealthy family and have no worries about food and drink, so they naturally have the leisure time to enjoy themselves."

"But I don't have such a good life as them. Don't say such things again in the future. Explain my words to my great-grandmother word for word. She is a wise person and will definitely understand me."

Xie Yiyao saw that she had been playing tricks for three months, but Old Lady Xie still didn't give up. It seemed that she was determined to train her to become a lady from a noble family who was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She decided to lay it all out and talk it out clearly. If Old Mrs. Xie still refused to give in, she would run back to her grandfather's house!

The four big maids, Nanxu, Liuyan, Tinghe and Yaqin, looked at Xie Yiyao in a daze. It seemed that their little master was a little special.

Yes! What the young lady said makes sense. The art of playing chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs is really just an embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless.

If there is a war or famine, these talents will be the most useless things.

That is to say, those noble ladies who are ignorant of the sufferings of the world would pursue poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting, while people like them who live at the bottom of society would never learn these.

However, the young lady, who is already the eldest daughter of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, still has such thoughts.

They saw that the young lady had adapted well during this period and seemed to enjoy their service. They had never expected that the young lady would have such thoughts.

For a moment, something seemed to be changing in the hearts of the four maids.
