After finding out that the memorial impeaching Xin Changzai's father was indeed true, and that the crimes committed by Xin Changzai's mother's family were far more than those stated in the memorial, the emperor immediately became furious.

Not only was Xin Chang's mother's home ransacked, but the entire family, including the servants, were also executed.

This was an external punishment. Internally, not only did Concubine Xin violate palace rules by secretly going to Zhaoxiang's place and taking the princess away, she also disregarded the princess's health and made the princess kneel with her outside the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation in such hot weather. It can be seen that she had no love for the princess.

The emperor immediately gave Shuhe to Concubine Jing to raise, and even changed the jade disc.

Didn't Concubine Xin say that the princess couldn't live without Guo Luo Ma Fa? Now she has another Guo Luo Ma Fa with a good reputation!

It was An Lingrong who instigated the Emperor to give Shuhe to Concubine Jing to raise.

As everyone knows, whenever the emperor is undecided, he will ask a bunch of people he likes and relies on at this stage for advice.

Just like when Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi’s affair was discovered in their previous life.

Coincidentally, An Lingrong was fortunate enough to have this honor in this life.

The emperor asked her how to sentence Xin Changzai's father, and An Lingrong said that she was narrow-minded and did not understand these things.

What a joke! She is not Zhen Huan, who has the aura of a heroine. Only a fool would comment on state affairs.

The emperor was a little disappointed, but he also felt that this was common sense. After all, An Lingrong did come from a humble family and couldn't even write poetry or songs.

Seeing the emperor sigh, An Lingrong quickly smoothed his frown with a guilty look on her face: "I don't understand state affairs, so I can't share your worries. But I understand your love for Princess Shuhe. Your Majesty is afraid that the princess will be laughed at by others in the future, which is also human nature. However, if your Majesty is only troubled by Princess Shuhe's affairs, I do have an idea."

The emperor became interested: "Oh? Tell me about it."

An Lingrong began to analyze the situation for the Emperor: "In fact, Concubine Xin cannot raise the princess herself due to her position. The other princesses and princes are basically taken care of by their mothers. It is really pitiful that she is the only one being raised in Zhaoxiang at such a young age. Why don't the Emperor choose another foster mother to raise her?"

The emperor raised the eighteen pieces in his hand happily and said: "Your idea is better than that of Concubine Wan. She just asked me to spare the life of Concubine Xin's father for Shuhe's sake, but she didn't know my dilemma. The national treasury is almost empty, if I go easy on these corrupt officials, how can I be disrespectful?"

When the emperor wanted to talk about state affairs, An Lingrong would listen quietly, but she would not interrupt. She changed the subject: "Since the emperor thinks my idea is good, why don't you think about who is more suitable to raise Princess Shuhe?"

The emperor really began to consider them one by one: "The queen has to manage the harem and has a headache. She really doesn't have the energy to raise another child. The imperial concubine is in poor health and has to take care of Hongchang, so she can't do that either. Jingfei, she has no children, and her personality is kind and gentle. She lives alone in Xianfu Palace now, so it's a bit lonely. It's appropriate to ask her to raise Shuhe."

An Lingrong also echoed in a gentle voice: "Sister Jingfei is indeed kind-hearted. With her bringing up a gentle and kind person, the Emperor will be more assured in the future."

So, while Zhen Huan was still trying to find ways to improve the emperor's favor for Concubine Xin, the emperor issued the series of decrees at the beginning of this chapter.

Zhen Huan was dumbfounded. How could the emperor do this? She said that the father of Xin Changzai was not good to Shuhe, so the emperor directly changed Shuhe to Guo Luomafa.

Not only did he not let Xin Changzai's father go, he also took away her daughter. Is this how you solve things?

Now that's good! Xin Chang fainted on the spot after hearing the bad news.

As soon as she woke up, she opened her eyes and looked at Zhen Huan with hatred in her eyes.

She believed Zhen Huan when she said she would help her plead with the Emperor. She also saw that Zhen Huan had been trying to cut off favors for her these days just to have more time to plead with her father. She was so moved at the time and thought that Zhen Huan could actually do this for her.

But what was the result? Is this how Zhen Huan interceded for the Emperor?

Zhen Huan knew from the look in Xin Changzai's eyes that she had misunderstood, and she quickly explained: "Sister Xin, you misunderstood. I have been begging the emperor to spare my uncle's life these days. I didn't know that the emperor would issue such an imperial decree. This was really not my idea."

Liu Zhu also felt sorry for her master: "Our queen has been pleading for Xin Changzai with your father these days and even asked the Queen Mother for help. Our queen has never given up pleading for Xin Changzai even though the Emperor was dissatisfied with her several times. In order to have more time to plead for Changzai, our queen has cut off the favor of many people these days and has almost offended everyone in the harem. Changzai actually looks at our queen with such eyes, which is really chilling."

Zhen Huan waited until Liu Zhu finished speaking before she gently reprimanded her, "Such a big thing happened to Concubine Xin all of a sudden. It was too much of a shock for her to accept it for a while, and it's possible that she couldn't recover from her emotions. Liu Zhu, stop talking nonsense."

Liu Zhu curled her lips and turned her head to look outside.

Zhen Huan reluctantly comforted Xin Changzai with a few words before leaving.

Xin Chang no longer has any influence in her mother's family, Shuhe has even changed the jade disc, and she herself is not very favored. Now this person is completely useless, and there seems to be no point in winning her over.

Fortunately, I haven't had time to agree to completely stand on the Queen's side, otherwise I would be in big trouble.

As Zhen Huan walked back, she wondered in her heart why Concubine Xin had been fine with her father for so many years, but was reported not long after she came under her wing.

Is this a coincidence or a human factor? If it is a human factor, who could it be?

The spies in Yikun Palace have sent news that Concubine Hua is now emaciated and will not live long. In this case, they did not realize that they had poisoned her. Could it be that what happened to Concubine Xin's father was just a coincidence?

No one cared about how miserable Concubine Xin was living here, but Concubine Jing asked for all the things that had been requested for decorating the room for the first time, and she wanted to present all the treasures she had collected over the years to her daughter.

Concubine Jing never thought that she could have such a daughter for free. This is really a pie in the sky!

Ahem, of course, the night the Emperor issued the decree, An Lingrong invited Concubine Jing to come over for a secret talk.

An Lingrong is not the kind of person who contributes silently and selflessly. Since she has made such an effort, she must let the person involved know.

Otherwise, who knows if that shameless queen will take all the credit for herself?

An Lingrong made it clear to Concubine Jing at that time that she had helped Concubine Jing to have a daughter, and now Concubine Jing didn't need to do anything. She even continued to pretend that she had no contact with the people in Concubine Hua's team. If there was any need in the future, she would notify Concubine Jing.

I know that pie in the sky will not fall. But having a daughter whose jade disc is changed to her own name, this temptation is too great, Jing Fei finally agreed.
