Liu Wan watched her cry with cold eyes, and held the armrests of the wooden chair tightly with both hands to avoid slapping her. "If it were any other concubine, I wouldn't be so angry!"

"It is because you have been with me for many years, yet you have kept secrets from me and deceived me. This is unforgivable!"

Yujuan tactfully passed the bowl to Aunt Yan's mouth.

Aunt Yan knew that she had made a fool of herself, so she turned her head away from the medicine bowl and crawled to Su Changyuan's feet on her knees.

"My Lord, please trust me. I really don't know martial arts. I am not afraid of anyone investigating me!"

"Wuwuwu, my Lord, the Power-Dissolving Powder is harmful to your body. If I drink it, I will be bedridden from now on and will never be able to bear children for you again..."

Su Changyuan had a blank expression on his face. The pressure from his high position for so many years made the servants in the hall swallow nervously.

He put down the teacup, and his cold voice sent Aunt Yan into the abyss, "You have been in the mansion for many years, but no one knows that you can practice martial arts. I guess you have your own way of concealing your inner strength."

"You've already plotted Yin Yue's dowry before you're pregnant. If you really have a child, I think you'll also be tempted to take the position of Marquis. You're so bold, do you think I'll still let you have children?"

Aunt Yan sat on the ground in a daze, not knowing how to explain herself.

How did she end up like this?

Su Changyuan kicked Aunt Yan away and said, "I don't need a concubine like you to give birth to a child!"

"Since you don't want to drink, then give it to me!"

After the words were spoken, many servants in the field showed hesitation.

Seeing this, the two servants beside him frowned and stepped forward to hold Aunt Yan's arms.

All this happened in such a short time that Su Changyuan's suspicion was dispelled by the sound of Yujuan feeding him medicine.

"Well, cough cough cough..."

As soon as the medicine entered her mouth and nose, it choked Aunt Yan and made her tears flow.

With Aunt Yan's martial arts, they can easily break free with just two long-time servants and a maid, but what will happen after that?

She couldn't beat Su Changyuan, and there were so many guards in the Marquis' Mansion.

Even though she was extremely reluctant, Aunt Yan could only drink the Hua Gong Powder with tears in her eyes.

"My Lord, Madam, I have taken the Qi-dissolving powder."

Yujuan handed in the empty bowl.

Aunt Yan endured the pain surging in her body, her face covered with tears and sweat.

I thought I would win against Su Yinyue, but after the fight, the eldest lady was locked up in the family temple, her confidante Chunying was killed, and she also lost her martial arts skills, without getting any benefit at all!

She was filled with remorse and covered her face with her hands in time to avoid revealing any resentment.

-

Royal Palace.

Before dawn, Su Yinyue was awakened by Yu Xiang.

"Princess, it's time to return to the palace to express gratitude."

Su Yinyue got up sleepily, washed and dressed, then got into the carriage, still yawning.

She glanced at Jiang Zaiyu who was sitting on the side, and leaned against the wall of the car carefully, trying not to mess up her hair, and said sleepily, "I'll take a nap first, call me when we get there."

Without waiting for his answer, she fell into a deep sleep.

Last night she studied palace etiquette with Nanny Qin until late at night, and then drove away all the maids on the pretext of going to sleep, but in fact she let down the bed curtain and entered the space.

The medicine she asked the pharmacy to send over was unique in this world. Maybe there was a special medicine that could treat Jiang Zaiyu. Of course, she had to hurry and analyze the medicinal properties.

But this caused a flaw.

Once she enters the space, her body will disappear on the spot.

What if someone lifted the curtain of her bed at this time and didn't see her, wouldn't her space be exposed?

Space is her biggest trump card, and no one can tell.

In addition to explicitly forbidding the maids to enter her room when she was sleeping, Su Yinyue also kept track of the time in her mind, coming out of the space every ten minutes to check the bed curtains.

It would be strange if you could sleep well if you do sit-ups most of the night!

In the morning, the night faded away, and the clouds with morning glow illuminated the sky, covering the palaces of different heights with a layer of brilliant golden color that almost burned people's eyes.

Su Yinyue walked into the area with red walls and golden tiles under the warm sunlight.

"Your son/daughter-in-law pays respects to the emperor, may the emperor be blessed with good health and good fortune."

Inside the Qinzheng Hall, Su Yinyue stood half a step behind Jiang Zaiyu, and the two of them kowtowed to Emperor Mingde who was sitting at the top of the table.

"Get up quickly!"

Emperor Mingde personally helped Jiang Zaiyu up from his half-crouching position, and did not let him kneel down. "We are father and son, so let's skip these red tapes."

Su Yinyue on the side was slightly stunned. Did she not have to kneel anymore?

As a modern person, she has only kneeled to her ancestors and is extremely averse to kneeling to other people.

It was a feeling of being torn apart both physically and mentally, irritable and suffocating.

"cough."

Su Yinyue was just about to stand up following Jiang Zaiyu's movements when she heard the eunuch beside Emperor Mingde cough lightly to remind her.

Is this still a different treatment?

Should she pretend not to notice the eunuch's look?

While thinking, Emperor Mingde had already looked at her, "Are you the second young lady of Yongning Marquis's Mansion?"

His voice was calm and his aura was so strong that just sitting there made people feel intimidated.

"Yes."

Su Yinyue took the opportunity to glance at him.

Emperor Mingde looked to be in his early thirties, with a resolute and tough face, an upright posture, and exuding the charm of a mature man.

Su Yinyue thought to herself, isn’t Emperor Mingde almost fifty?

This anti-aging technique is quite powerful.

Emperor Mingde looked at Su Yinyue carefully. Seeing that she was wearing a five-tailed phoenix crown, his face suddenly darkened. He asked with a hint of accusation, "The one I betrothed to Yu'er was the eldest daughter of the Su family. Why did you become the one to be married?"

"But you harbored the delusion of trying to get close to someone powerful and noble, and harmed your elder sister?"

Su Yinyue was not happy to hear this.

The prince's wedding, presided over by the Ministry of Rites, had been a day ago. She didn't believe that the emperor hadn't known that the bride had been replaced after such a long time.

Jiang Zai Yu's brows twitched slightly, thinking of Su Yin Yue's great achievements in hunting down Su Chang Yuan and others, and hurriedly spoke before her.

"Father, the one I am engaged to is the daughter of the Su family. It is normal for Yin Yue to marry me. Besides, I am happy to see Yin Yue."

Jiang Zaiyu knelt down again and said, "Thank you, father, for granting me this good marriage."

Su Yinyue was stunned again. Why did he kneel down again?

Should she kneel too?

Just as I thought of this, I felt Jiang Zaiyu pulling the hem of my clothes.

Well, this means I have to kneel down too.

As soon as Su Yinyue knelt down, she heard Emperor Mingde say, "Since you like it, I won't bother about it."

Su Changyuan threw away his concubine's daughter, probably treating her as an abandoned child.

This is good. Su Changyuan is his most trusted minister. He does not want to become his relative, so he lets Su Changyuan favor the prince.

Since Jiang Zaiyu likes this concubine's daughter, he doesn't have to feel any psychological burden.

Emperor Mingde was happy and his expression softened. He was ready to help Jiang Zaiyu up again. "Okay, get up quickly. Stop kneeling. It will hurt you."

But Jiang Zai Yu's next words made him stop and his eyes became dim.

"Since the emperor has recognized Yin Yue, I ask the emperor to record Yin Yue's name in the royal jade book and grant her the golden seal and seal of the first-rank princess."

Su Yinyue was surprised.

Huh, isn’t she a proper princess?

She and Su Changyuan are very close, so is that old guy playing tricks on her?
