Professional Ethics of a Concubine

After Xie Jin came out of the palace, he went straight back home.

It was a good thing he came back, otherwise Ye Qingzhi would have packed her luggage and prepared to run away.

Ahem, we’re going to the hot spring resort.

"The anniversary is still three days away. Isn't it too early for you to leave now?" Xie Jin looked at the large amount of food, clothing and other daily necessities she had packed and asked in an increasingly unpleasant tone,

"With so many things, are you planning to live in the manor for a long time?"

"Since we're going, we'll have to stay for at least a month," said Ye Qingzhi.

Xie Jin looked at her dangerously. Was this woman going to exile herself?

And I stayed there for a month!

The house in the farmhouse is simple and cannot be compared with the comfort of the mansion.

"Last time, the imperial physician said that I have a cold uterus. Soaking in hot springs is good for my body. When I have my period, I won't feel so much pain."

Ye Qingzhi seemed not to notice his dangerous look and said shyly,

"When my uterine cold is cured, I hope to give birth to a big fat boy for you."

The sincerity of Ye Qingzhi's words was probably about the same as when a scumbag says, "I'll buy you a brand-name bag when I have money."

"Aren't you in a hurry to have a baby?" Xie Jin didn't believe her sweet mouth.

"Only when you are well-rested can you be ready at any time. Otherwise, if you can't have the baby when you want to, you will be so anxious that you will die."

Ye Qingzhi leaned against him and spoke in a very serious manner.

Xie Jin tapped her forehead and said in a caring manner,

"You are worried about your mother, so you can write a letter to her and I will send it to you."

"Forget it. Don't add to my mother's worries. My mother is now protected by Prince Su. There is nothing to worry about. I have explained everything I should have explained before."

Ye Qingzhi shook her head and didn't want to write a letter.

My mother's second spring is in full swing, why is she causing trouble?

Xie Jin, ...

How could he not write a letter? He had already made an agreement with Prince Su.

"I met Prince Su today, and he asked me to be nice to you. In return, shouldn't you write a letter to persuade your mother to be nice to Prince Su?"

Xie Jin could only continue to trap her.

After hearing this, Ye Qingzhi looked at him more suspiciously. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she said with a smile,

"My Lord, you didn't see Prince Su and lied to him that I wrote a letter to my mother and asked him to pass it on. Considering how much Prince Su loves my mother, he will definitely be happy.

You come back to me to trick me into sending you a letter, so that I can be grateful to you for delivering it. You are really trying to get something for nothing and be a good person on both sides!"

Xie Jin, ...

Sometimes it’s not good for women to be too smart!

Xie Jin blocked her mouth with a bit of embarrassment, and kissed her until she was almost out of breath before letting her go. "Will you write a letter?"

"Of course I wrote it, but it's not that I owe you a favor, it's that you owe me a favor." Ye Qingzhi smiled like a little fox who had successfully cheated.

Xie Jin was defeated and accepted the offer unhappily.

After Ye Qingzhi finished writing the letter, Xie Jin immediately sent someone to deliver it to Prince Su.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the hot spring resort." Xie Jin said to Ye Qingzhi.

"Will this be too much trouble for me?" Ye Qingzhi was a little surprised.

"It's not a big deal. I'm going to do something outside the city." Xie Jin said, "But don't think about staying in the manor for that long. You can go back home after the anniversary celebration."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ye Qingzhi responded obediently.

Asking for a long vacation from her boss is like asking for a sky-high price, but she has to pay it back on the spot. She would be content with just a few days of relaxing vacation.

On this side, Prince Su was originally in the Ministry of War dealing with two days of backlogged official business, but after receiving the letter, he could no longer stay there.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to take the official business back to the palace. He also took the letter and hurried back to the palace to claim credit.

But as soon as he entered the palace, Eunuch Zhang came to him in a hurry to report.

"Your Majesty, the young master is ill and has a high fever."

"Have you invited the imperial physician?" Prince Su frowned, stopped walking towards Tingyu Pavilion, and walked towards the prince's courtyard.

Prince Su had only one son and two daughters. For a man of his status, it could only be said that he had too few offspring.

My son is now fourteen years old. He is the son of Princess Su and was named a prince by the emperor at birth.

If she didn't have a legitimate son, Princess Su wouldn't be so arrogant.

Both daughters were born out of wedlock and were born at the border. One was twelve years old and the other was only eight years old. Of course, they have already returned to Beijing.

"The princess not only invited the imperial physician, but also invited Master Daoheng to exorcise the evil spirit for the young prince." Eunuch Zhang also followed behind Prince Su in a hurry, his voice getting lower and lower.

Prince Su paused slightly, anger flashed across his face, and his aura was frightening.

When he arrived at the prince's courtyard, Prince Su saw a group of women standing outside the courtyard, all of them dressed up gorgeously. He was immediately annoyed and waved his hand, telling them to get out.

The prince's illness actually became an opportunity for them to meet him and curry his favor.

His heart can be killed.

The princess sat in front of the prince's bed, her eyes red and her face full of heartache as she wiped away her tears, "My son, you have suffered."

Seeing Prince Su coming, the princess stood up and saluted him, choking with sobs,

"Your Highness, Master Daoheng just said that the prince was struck by someone whose horoscope was incompatible with his, which is why he suddenly had a high fever..."

"What are you going to tell me next? The person whose horoscope is incompatible with yours is Concubine Mu?" Prince Su stared at her, his voice frighteningly cold.

Princess Su's face froze slightly, and then she cried even more painfully and said,

"Wow, wow, wow... Prince, who else could it be if not her! The Crown Prince has always been in good health, but Concubine Mu has only been in the mansion for two days and the Crown Prince has suddenly developed a high fever!

I don’t like Concubine Mu clinging to the prince, but I won’t use the prince’s body as a raft to get rid of that woman. The prince is the flesh and blood of my body…”

Prince Su ignored her crying and walked straight to the bedside to check on the prince's condition. He saw that his little face was flushed red and his brows were furrowed even tighter.

"Father, father..." The prince opened his eyes and saw Prince Su, and immediately cried,

"Wuwuwu... Father, are you going to depose my mother and my son from the position of Crown Prince?"

"Who told you this?" Prince Su's eyes grew darker, and he tightened his hands at his sides.

"Woo woo... People in the palace are saying that you favor Concubine Mu too much and have already started to think about favoring a concubine and destroying your wife, and you want to depose your mother..."

Prince Su couldn't listen any longer, looked at his son with disappointment, and said in a deep voice, "You should take good care of yourself. Your father will come to see you tomorrow."

At the age of fourteen, as a prince, he should have his own wise judgment and should have enough confidence instead of believing in what women say.

His son, who was raised in the capital and by the princess' side, has become a spoiled child. If he doesn't make an effort to correct his behavior, he will only be a petty, incompetent idiot in the future.

Before Prince Su left, he glanced at Princess Su who was pretending to wipe her tears, snorted coldly, and strode away.

When he returned to Tingyu Pavilion and saw Mu Nianqiu sitting quietly at the table reading Buddhist scriptures, Prince Su's angry mood immediately improved a lot.

Mu Nianqiu heard the noise and saw that it was him who came back. He put down the Buddhist scriptures and bowed to him. "Your Majesty is back. Why are you in such a bad mood?"

"The prince is sick." Prince Su held her in his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder, like a large injured dog that needed to be comforted.

"With the careful treatment of the imperial physician, the prince will be fine. However, I understand the worries of a parent like yours." Mu Nianqiu said coldly.

"I will pray for the prince tomorrow and do my part."

Prince Su didn't say anything, he just rubbed her. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly picked her up and walked towards the bed.

"Your Highness, it's daytime now!" Mu Nianqiu grabbed his clothes and said quickly.

"Give me a child, okay?" Prince Su put her on the bed, knelt beside the bed, with red eyes, and asked her in a hoarse voice like a devout believer.
