The passers-by are vicious

After Yu Wenxuan left, Jiang Wanwan did not stop, but continued to bend over and trim the peony branches.

"Too many branches will damage the appearance, and the extra branches should be cut off."

Jiang Wanwan's words were steady and serious. She held a pair of scissors and decisively cut off all the remaining unnecessary branches, leaving only the blooming peonies to attract attention.

The branches fell along with the unopened buds, stained with the earthly dirt.

Just like Yu Wenxuan, her existence is insignificant but also annoying.

But at this moment, Jiang Wanwan was not in a hurry to deal with this matter.

If this harem was empty, wouldn't it be too boring for her?

"After all, I am the queen. Although the flowers in the harem are beautiful, only the peony can be regarded as the symbol of the mother of the country."

After Yu Wenxuan returned to the palace, she dressed up a little and personally brought the soup to the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hai told her that Yuan Xun was meeting with ministers and had no time to see her.

Yu Wenxuan had no choice but to hand the soup to Jiang Hai and return with the palace maid.

Yuan Xun had not entered the harem for three months, and Yu Wenxuan had not found an opportunity to regain favor.

Fortunately, because the second prince died young, Yuan Xun issued an oral order to restore Yu Wenxuan's position as Concubine Yu.

Seeing that she had been restored to the throne, Yu Wenxuan thought that Yuan Xun had not yet abandoned her, so she temporarily put aside her desire to win favor and focused on investigating the cause of death of the second prince.

However, after three months of investigation, he did not find any evidence to prove that Concubine Li had killed his child.

The guards outside Jingren Palace were withdrawn and the gate was reopened.

Because Yuan Xun only had two concubines and two beauties, Jiang Wanwan changed her daily routine of paying respects to the Jingren Palace to once every five days.

In Jingren Palace, Yu Wenxuan and Concubine Li sat opposite each other, each in the first position to the left below the Empress.

The two looked at each other, their eyes seemed to be burning, and sparks flew.

Yu Wenxuan was certain that Concubine Li had killed her child, and with new and old grudges mixed together, she wished she could immediately take Concubine Li to the Ministry of Punishment and give her a severe beating.

Concubine Li was gloating over his misfortune. In the past, when they were in the boudoir, they had a rift over some trivial matters.

Concubine Li looked down upon Yu Shuxin's arrogant attitude despite being born out of wedlock. She was just the illegitimate daughter of a minister. How could one be more noble than the other? There was really nothing to be proud of.

"I heard that the second prince died young. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital all said that it was caused by a cold. However, Concubine Yu refused to believe it and insisted that he was murdered. She also clamored for Your Majesty to severely punish the murderer. I wonder if Concubine Yu has caught the real murderer?"

Concubine Li lightly covered her handkerchief with her hands, her lips slightly raised, her eyes full of mockery, and every word she said was like a knife, piercing Concubine Yu's heart.

Concubine Yu never expected that Concubine Li would dare to mention the Second Prince in front of her. She clenched her hands tightly around the handkerchief, and her anger towards Concubine Li was almost biting.

But she still sneered with gritted teeth, "It really is Concubine Li. She is so well-informed. Could it be that she eavesdropped by the water tank in my palace every night?"

Concubine Li's face changed slightly. What she hated most was others mentioning her title.

She was particularly disgusted by the fact that others associated her title with carp.

Yu Wenxuan even openly called her a fish.

How could this not make Concubine Li angry? She was angry in her heart and her words were even more ruthless, "She is not as good as Concubine Yu. She is still so sharp-tongued after losing her child. I guess she is not that sad."

Although Concubine Li is not as eloquent as Yu Wenxuan, she knows very well that when arguing with others, if she cannot win with words, she must hit the other person's sore spot.

At this moment, the one who could most provoke Yu Wenxuan's anger was undoubtedly the second prince who had died young, so Concubine Li continued to stab Yu Wenxuan in the heart.
