I just want to rob you of your luck

Lin Jiuer hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"I have nothing to ask for."

The Queen Mother looked at her with pity and said, "You are also the daughter of a marquis, so stop calling yourself a slave. You should say you are a servant."

Lin Jiuer said obediently: "Yes, I understand."

The Queen Mother sighed that this child was so sensible that it made her feel distressed. Most people would ask for mercy for themselves if they had such an opportunity.

She only thought about her mother, which reminded her of her best friend.

She also likes to think about others. When the Wu family was in trouble, she could obviously ask her for help, but she was afraid of implicating her.

The two of them didn't even see each other for the last time, which has been a regret in the Empress Dowager's heart for many years.

The Queen Mother did not force anything, and it was not appropriate for her to interfere too much in other people's affairs.

Now that the person has been found, we just need to take care of the mother and daughter.

She rewarded Lin Jiuer with several pieces of jewellery and cloth, and then asked Nanny Fang to arrange a carriage to send her back and to go to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion to deliver the oral order.

At this time in the Imperial Hospital, the Queen, with a grim expression on her face, pulled Prince Kang Li Cheng aside to talk.

"Cheng'er, your health as a princess is too poor, isn't it? Can you faint after attending a banquet in the palace?"

Li Cheng's face was not looking good either. Didn't Lin Yan'er take tonic medicine to regulate her body? Why did she suddenly faint today?

He didn't say anything harsh to her, did he?

"Mother, Yan'er is weak and has had a cold body since she was a child. She has been recuperating recently."

"How can such a princess give you a long line of offspring? How about your mother send you a few palace maids to serve you?"

Li Cheng quickly refused: "Mother, I have only been married to Yan'er for a month. She was in good health before that. You don't need to give me someone else."

"Mother knows you like her, but I don't think it's easy for her to have children. Do you really want the Kang Palace to be without descendants?"

Seeing that Li Cheng didn't say anything, the Queen continued, "How about this, if she still can't get pregnant in half a year, your mother will grant you two concubines or four palace maids to sleep with you."

Li Cheng also knew that the Queen was worried that he would not have an heir, so he had no choice but to agree. He believed that Lin Yan'er would definitely become pregnant in half a year.

Lin Yan'er finally woke up after being given a few injections by the imperial physician, and as soon as she woke up, she heard what the queen said.

She was very angry, but she didn't dare to show it.

"Empress, His Royal Highness Prince Kang, Princess Kang has woken up." said the imperial physician.

Prince Kang hurried over to check on Lin Yan'er. Even though some things had happened recently that made him unhappy, he still liked Lin Yan'er.

"Yan'er, are you awake? How do you feel?"

Lin Yan'er pretended to be strong, her eyes reddened: "Your Highness, I am fine. I am sorry to have made you worried. It is all my fault."

King Kang hated to see her like this, and his heart softened.

"I'm glad you're alright. Don't say that. You're my wife, and I should care about you. Shall we go back to the palace?"

The queen couldn't bear to see her son being so lovesick, so she waved her sleeves and left in anger.

Prince Kang picked up Lin Yan'er and walked out of the palace. He happened to meet Nanny Fang and Lin Jiuer at the gate of the palace.

Lin Jiuer saw Prince Kang and Lin Yaner in his arms. It seemed that the weakening medicine was working well. She suppressed the urge to curl up the corners of her lips.

He quickly said to Nanny Fang, "Mammy, since His Royal Highness Prince Kang and the Princess are about to return home, you don't have to see me off."

Nanny Fang agreed without insisting and got on the carriage to go to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion to convey the oral order.

Lin Jiuer walked over and asked with concern: "Your Highness, how is my sister?"

Lin Yan'er glanced at her with disgust, and Prince Kang said calmly: "It's okay, since you've come out, let's go back to the palace together."

Lin Jiuer agreed obediently, took the rewards given by the Queen Mother and got on the carriage behind.

In the carriage, Tinglan looked at Lin Jiuer with a complicated expression. She felt that Lin Jiuer had changed a lot recently.

She saw everything that happened today. The peony on the princess's body was embroidered by Lin Jiuer. She must have done it on purpose.

"Lin Jiuer, did you deliberately embarrass the princess? What good will this do you? If the princess falls out of favor, the prince will take another woman into the palace, which will not benefit us at all."

Lin Jiuer knew that Tinglan was a smart and shrewd person, and she saw through it clearly.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that Lin Jiuer was planning to make Lin Yaner fall out of favor, but would not give Li Cheng the opportunity to marry other women.

She has her favorite concubine right here, so how could she give other women a chance?

"Tinglan, what are you talking about? I don't understand! What did the princess do to make a fool of herself? How come I don't know?"

Lin Jiuer just played dumb and Tinglan couldn't say anything.

In the mansion of Marquis Anding, after Nanny Fang conveyed the empress dowager's oral order, the Marquis and his wife were shocked, while the other concubines looked at Wu with envy and jealousy.

Wu herself also found it unreal. Why would the empress dowager suddenly issue an order to promote her to be a concubine?

She followed the Marquis of Anding and his wife to receive the imperial edict and express gratitude.

Marquis Anding quickly accepted the decree, but his wife, Mrs. Sun, was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, wondering how this bitch got in touch with the empress dowager.

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with Mrs. Wu, she saw Nanny Fang staring at her coldly.

She knew Nanny Fang. She was the empress dowager's dowry and represented the empress dowager's opinions outside.

Even the emperor, empress, and princes would give her some face when they met her.

Nanny Fang seemed to have read her thoughts: "As the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, you should be kind to your concubines and be tolerant. The Queen Mother specifically asked you to take good care of Wu. Maybe one day the Queen Mother will summon Wu to the palace."

Sun was shocked. When did this lowly maidservant Wu catch the Queen Mother's eye? Did she still need Nanny Fang to scold her?

She didn't dare to think about anything else, and quickly smiled and said, "Of course, I have always had a good relationship with the Marquis' concubines, so I will naturally take good care of Wu."

After saying this, Sun felt like vomiting. She felt like something was blocking her chest and she could hardly breathe.

Madam Fang didn't bother to pay attention to her. She nodded and said to Wu: "Madam Wu, would you mind talking to me alone for a few words?"

Now that Wu has become a noble concubine, she can be called Madam.

Mrs. Wu nodded quickly and followed Nanny Fang to the side.

"Do you still remember the Queen Mother?"

Wu's eyes were red and she nodded. When she was a child, her mother did bring her to the palace to meet the empress dowager. At that time, the empress dowager was just a concubine.

I didn’t expect that the Queen Mother still remembered her, but how did she find her?

"You have a good daughter. If it weren't for her, the Queen Mother wouldn't know about your affairs in Anding Marquis Mansion."

Nanny Fang told Wu about how the Queen Mother discovered the birthday gift from Prince Kang's mansion yesterday and what happened after she met Lin Jiuer.

Mrs. Wu felt emotional, her daughter was indeed better than her and was capable of great things, but why didn't this silly child know how to fight for some benefits for herself?

Recently, she has been giving Sun weakening medicine every day according to Lin Jiuer's instructions, and Sun's health has indeed deteriorated recently.

It's not obvious on the surface, but whenever she gets angry, she becomes short of breath, breaks out in sweats, and even fainted once.

That time, it was because she seduced the Marquis into her room and was seen by Sun.

In fact, Nanny Fang had seen Wu enter the palace to meet the empress dowager when she was a child. She felt sorry for the legitimate daughter of a third-rank official who had become a lowly concubine.

"Your good days are still ahead. From now on, you will have the Queen Mother's support. You don't have to be so humble, understand?"

Wu was so moved that her nose was sore. After her family members passed away, no one had ever cared about her so sincerely.

She knelt down directly:

"Thank you for your care, Madam Queen, and thank you, Madam Fang. I will definitely live a good life and live up to your care."

Nanny Fang quickly helped her up and comforted her with a few words before leaving the mansion to report.

At this time, the marquis's wife, Mrs. Sun, fainted again. She had lived smoothly in the marquis's mansion for twenty years, and suddenly a concubine was about to jump over her head. How could she swallow this humiliation?

But before she could vent her anger, she became too upset, and the whole mansion was thrown into chaos.

At this moment, Mrs. Wu curled the corners of her lips, went back to make chicken soup, and brought it to Marquis Anding's study.

At this moment, something was happening in Prince Kang's mansion.
