The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

When Ren Jingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but joked, "Ranran, you are really a complete money-grubber." There was a hint of intimacy and teasing in his tone, and his eyes were full of doting on his wife.

The couple then returned to the Imperial Concubine's bedroom. As soon as they stepped through the door, they heard Li Ma Ma anxiously and concernedly say, "My Lady, you need to stay in bed and rest more!"

"I want to get up and walk around. My whole body aches from lying down." The Imperial Concubine walked slowly outside with the help of Nanny Li. Her delicate body seemed unable to bear the weight, and every step she took was weak and powerless.

Seeing this, Shen Yiran hurriedly walked up to her, looking nervous and speaking in an urgent tone: "My queen, please lie down quickly and let me take your pulse again."

"I'm fine. You came back so soon. How is the prince now?" Although the imperial concubine's voice was soft, one could still hear the concern in it.

"Your Majesty, your health is the most important. Let's put other things aside." As he said this, Shen Yiran gently but firmly led the imperial concubine to the bed.

From the Imperial Concubine's pulse, it can be felt that although her health has improved, she is still relatively weak and needs to rest in bed.

"Your Majesty, your body is not fit to move yet. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you for a walk in the yard, okay?" Shen Yiran's eyes were full of worry, and her voice softened unconsciously.

When the Imperial Concubine saw that Shen Yiran said so, she did not try to be stubborn. Instead, she looked at them with a smile and said, "Seeing that you and your wife are getting along well, I feel relieved." That smile contained both relief and blessings for them.

Shen Yiran bowed and responded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It is my blessing to have your care." Her voice was clear and pleasant, full of gratitude.

Ren Jingzhi also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and you will surely live a long and healthy life." His tone was sincere and genuine.

The Imperial Concubine gently waved her hand and said, "You are thoughtful. But the affairs of the palace are complicated, and you must be careful in the future." There was a hint of worry and warning in her words.

Shen Yiran nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, your majesty, I will be cautious."

At this moment, the emperor walked in, and everyone hurriedly bowed and left, leaving the space for him and the imperial concubine.

The next morning, the emperor went to the morning court from the Imperial Concubine's bedroom. This matter soon spread in the harem. When Empress Sun learned about it, she thought angrily in her heart: "This plan failed. Not only did they pave the way for that bitch Lin Xueer, but they were also cheated of thousands of taels of gold by that bitch."

Empress Sun's delicate face was distorted by anger at this moment, her eyes were burning with rage, and that hatred seemed to be able to devour everything.

She held the handkerchief tightly in both hands, and the blood color disappeared from her joints due to the force. It seemed that the handkerchief would be crushed by her in the next second. She gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Yiran, I will not let you go easily."

The palace maids beside her were so frightened when they saw this, they dared not even breathe, for fear of bringing bad luck to the Queen.

But when she turned around and looked at Yu Gongchen who was sleeping on the bed, the anger just now disappeared instantly. Although she was unwilling, her son's life was in their hands. She could only swallow her anger for the time being and repay them double in the future.

At this moment, a trace of helplessness and heartache flashed in Empress Sun's eyes. The complex emotions intertwined together, making her face even gloomier.

At this time, Nanny Wang came over and said softly, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is here."

When Empress Sun heard this, she hurried out to greet them. She saw that the Queen Mother looked worried and hurried over with the help of the palace maids. Her anxious steps seemed to tell of her inner uneasiness.

Empress Sun hurried forward to support her and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

Madam Guo said anxiously, "I heard that Chen'er was ill, and you suddenly needed so much money urgently. Mother was worried, so she brought the gold to the palace to see what happened."

Empress Sun was deeply moved and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, mother. Things in the palace are complicated and I made you worry." There was a hint of sob in her voice.

Madam Guo scolded, "You kid, such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The mother and daughter walked into the bedroom together. After they sat down, Madam Guo took Empress Sun's hand and asked carefully, "How is Chen'er's condition? Is this money enough?"

Empress Sun comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. The situation is relatively stable for now, and this money should be enough." Although there was comfort in her tone, her brows were still furrowed.

Then he ordered Wang Ma, "Ma, take this gold to that little bitch."

After Nanny Wang agreed, she hurried out.

Madam Guo Tai sighed and said, "I hope Chen'er can recover soon, and you can have fewer worries in the palace."

The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Lady Dowager Guo left with peace of mind.

On the other side of Chuxiu Palace, Shen Yiran supported the Imperial Concubine in a leisurely stroll in the front yard to admire the flowers. The sun shone on them, casting a warm shadow.

The Imperial Concubine patted the back of Shen Yiran's hand and said, "Ranran, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would..." Her tone was full of gratitude and relief.

"Your Majesty is a blessed person and will surely be able to turn misfortune into fortune. Besides, it is my honor to serve you." Shen Yiran said hurriedly with a sincere smile on her face.

The Imperial Concubine smiled slightly, "You are such a sweet girl. But I know in my heart that if it weren't for your quick thinking this time, the consequences would be disastrous."

Shen Yiran lowered her head, looking humble, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. As long as Your Majesty is well, I will be at ease."

The Imperial Concubine suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked with some uncertainty: "I heard that you went to treat the Crown Prince yesterday and received a consultation fee of 10,000 taels of gold. Will Empress Sun really give it to you?"

Shen Yiran smiled and replied, "I will give it to you. Queen Sun is very smart. As long as the prince is still alive, the ten thousand taels of gold can be earned back at any time."

At this moment, heavy footsteps were heard from the front. Shen Yi smiled and said, "My queen, look, Queen Sun is here to bring me gold."

The Imperial Concubine looked up and saw several palace maids and eunuchs walking towards them. The leading eunuch said softly, "Excuse me, excuse me." They were carrying several boxes carefully. Although they were not ostentatious, it could be seen that they were heavy.

Li Ma, a close confidant of Empress Sun, walked to the side of the team and said in a low voice, "Princess, the Empress is as good as her word, and I am sending you this ten thousand taels of gold."

Shen Yiran and the Imperial Concubine stepped forward, Shen Yiran bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Queen."

Although the palace maids and eunuchs around did not dare to look at her openly, they could not hide the envy in their eyes.

Nanny Li continued, "The Queen has ordered that the gold has been delivered. I hope the Crown Prince's wife will send someone to find medicine as soon as possible."

Shen Yiran quickly responded: "Don't worry, Ma'am, I will arrange for someone right away and will not let the Queen down."

Nanny Li nodded and took people back to the palace to report.

The Imperial Concubine turned to look at Shen Yiran, "Ranran, my health has gradually recovered. You have to leave the palace to plan the matter of finding medicine."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Wait until I help you find the people planted in Chuxiu Palace, and then you can leave the palace with peace of mind." After Shen Yiran said this, she looked at the palace maids who were busy in the courtyard.

Then, the two returned to the bedroom.

After a while, Yu Gongyu's angry roar was heard from the bedroom: "Princess Concubine, my mother and I trusted you so much, but we didn't expect you to poison my mother." The voice was like thunder, full of anger and disbelief.
