The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

Concubine Zhao picked up her handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears. From an angle where no one could see, she showed a look of gloating.

"My daughter-in-law also reflected on some of her mistakes."

Su Yinyue laughed at herself, "My daughter-in-law and Lady Lin just met for the first time, and there is no grudge between them. Why didn't Lady Lin suspect anyone else, but suspected my daughter-in-law of stealing something..."

Hearing this, Emperor Mingde's cold expression softened, and the displeasure in his eyes also dissipated a lot.

He had seen the trick of retreating to advance and gaining fame countless times in the previous dynasty and the harem.

It will never be exposed every time.

Anyway, the steps were provided for him, so he just had to walk down.

Emperor Mingde, who was trapped in habitual thinking, was about to speak to smooth things over when he was caught off guard by Su Yinyue's next words.

"Everyone in the world bullies the weak and fears the strong. How can my daughter-in-law have the confidence to face Lady Lin without the princess's golden seal and treasure book? When she gives an order, many palace servants will obey her..."

Su Yinyue complained to herself, "The palace has strict hierarchy, and I am powerless. Apart from making a scene in front of my father like a street shrew, I really don't know what to do..."

After going around in circles, the topic came back again.

She wants to be the legitimate Princess Royal.

"Concubine..."

Concubine Lin wanted to explain herself, but when she met Emperor Mingde's cold eyes, the words she had prepared got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything.

Emperor Mingde looked at Concubine Shu, the mortal enemy of Concubine Zhao, and said in a deep voice, "Is Concubine Lin really bullying others by taking advantage of her power as she said?"

Concubine Shu bowed and said, "Indeed, all the sisters present have witnessed it."

"it is good!"

Emperor Mingde slammed the table, and the dull sound was like a heavy drum hitting Concubine Lin's heart, frightening her so much that her body went cold and she was almost paralyzed.

"Lady Lin has no virtue and is a bully. I will demote her to a sixth-rank noble lady as a warning to others."

Lady Lin's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, her lips opening and closing as she tried to cry but had no tears.

Emperor Mingde continued, "In addition, inform the six palaces that all regulations for Su Yinyue will be handled according to the first-rank imperial princess. If anyone cares about this matter again, they will be severely punished!"

"Yes."

After saying this, Emperor Mingde asked everyone to kneel before anyone else could speak.

After leaving Renming Palace, Concubine Zhao didn't want to see Su Yinyue, so she went straight back to Changxin Palace.

Soon, most of the concubines left.

The boundless sky was divided into neat squares by Renming Palace. The sun was hidden behind the white clouds, and the red walls and golden tiles looked exactly the same, as if they were copied and pasted.

Su Yinyue felt a little disappointed.

"Cough cough..."

A cough sounded next to her ears, and Su Yinyue realized that Jiang Zaiyu's face was pale, and the veins on his hand on the palace door were bulging. He was trying hard to endure the discomfort.

"Are you sick again?"

As soon as she held his hand in her palm, Su Yinyue had only one thought: it's so cold.

With my fingertips on my wrist, I felt my pulse beating too fast and my blood surging.

"What happened to the King?"

Concubine Shu came over with a concerned look on her face.

"It's an old problem. Madam Lao Shu is worried about it."

Jiang Zai Yu pulled his hand away and smiled as usual.

Seeing that he was unwilling to show his weakness, Concubine Shu smiled calmly and invited him.

"Your third brother should be bringing the princess to the palace to pay respects. You and your third brother haven't seen each other for a long time, right? Would you like to visit my Feihong Palace?"

Su Yinyue declined, "The prince and I just got married, and there are still a lot of things to do in the mansion. I will definitely do it next time."

Concubine Shu, "Then it's settled."

"Go slowly, Madam Shu."

As soon as Concubine Shu left, Jiang Zaiyu could no longer suppress the true energy in his body and began to cough with his head down.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A fishy-sweet taste surged up his throat, which he swallowed.

Su Yinyue keenly noticed a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his lips, and hurriedly wiped it away with her fingertips.

She patted his back gently to help him calm down, and asked worriedly, "He was fine when he entered the palace, why did he suddenly become so serious?"

Those dark, bright almond-shaped eyes only reflected himself, and the soft touch through the thin fabric made his back feel warm.

His muscles tensed, his palms felt itchy, and the itch spread all the way to his heart. Jiang Zai Yu actually felt a lingering tenderness.

The heat quickly spread to half of his body, and he subconsciously curled up his palms.

"Hiss! You grabbed my hair!"

Su Yinyue took a breath of cold air.

Jiang Zai Yu was startled, and then he realized that a few strands of her neatly combed hair were hanging down.

It should have been scattered because of her excitement when she was chasing Concubine Lin in Renming Hall.

The itch he felt just now was the ends of his hair scratching his palm.

"...Ahem, I didn't mean it."

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Zai Yu quickly put his hands behind his back, but the excitement he felt at that moment could not be shaken off.

"fine."

Su Yinyue casually pushed her hair aside, "You haven't answered me yet, what happened when the emperor asked you to discuss state affairs?"

Jiang Zaiyu didn't show any surprise, "Why are you asking this?"

"That's when your health started to deteriorate."

"When you entered Renming Palace with the emperor, I noticed that you looked strange."

Jiang Zai Yu was stunned. The situation was critical at that time, but did she notice him at a glance?

Su Yinyue stopped, tugged at his collar, and hooked her fingers.

Jiang Zai Yu understood, bent down and listened attentively.

Su Yinyue's voice was bright, but the corners of her lips turned cold. "Since you agreed to let me treat you, you must follow the doctor's advice."

"Don't eat randomly."

Yesterday, in order to prevent Jiang Zaiyu from drinking the bowl of medicine of unknown origin, she offended Concubine Zhao when she just came in without any foundation.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been this incident today.

If Jiang Zaiyu's condition worsens due to eating indiscriminately, wouldn't all her suffering be in vain?

Jiang Zaiyu's eyes darkened, "Who dares not eat what the emperor gives me?"

Su Yinyue's whole body shuddered, her heart in turmoil.

She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but there were so many people in the palace talking so much that she swallowed them.

The palaces and pavilions are continuous and undulating, covering a very large area.

The two men walked to the palace gate, and under the towering city walls, they were as small as ants.

-

Feihong Palace.

When Concubine Shu returned, the Third Prince and his wife had been waiting for quite a while.

As soon as she sat down, Concubine Shu immediately ordered her confidant, "Qin Xiang, let them all go down."

After Qin Xiang sent away all the palace maids, she closed the door and stood beside Concubine Shu.

The rest were all her own people, so Concubine Shu had fewer concerns.

She looked at Du Qilan's bulging belly and asked, "When is the latest time for you to miscarry?"

"...at the latest one month."

Du Qilan touched her belly reluctantly, feeling depressed, "Before, I could still feel him moving in my belly, but now I can't feel it anymore..."

Her baby was stillborn.

Jiang Zailing put his arm around her shoulders and held her hand to give her strength. "This child died to save me. I will never forget him."

"We will have children in the future."

Du Qilan forced a sad smile, "He was happy that he could save his father's life."

Concubine Shu said in a serious tone, "Didn't we plan to let Princess Yu take the blame before? Let's change someone else."

Jiang Zailing was stunned, "Why?"
