Concubine Shu put away the letter and returned to the palace, her eyes slowly looking towards the head nanny.

The head nanny understood what she meant and said to the others in the palace, "The imperial concubine is tired and needs to rest. You can all go down. You don't have to serve her closely tonight."

"Yes."

The palace servants bowed and left.

After seeing the door was closed, the head nanny walked around Concubine Shu's bedroom. After making sure that no one was there, she walked up to Concubine Shu and nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, there is no one else in the palace."

Concubine Shu couldn't hold back her smile any longer. She looked at the head nanny with a smile on her face and said, "You just saw it, nanny. My life is finally coming to an end. My daughter Rui'er will be the king of Yunli Kingdom in the future!"

The head nanny also smiled and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. This should have been yours, but it came a little late. I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do?"

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes, opened the letter again, and read it carefully. The more she read, the more her smile deepened.

"Look, does this look like the handwriting of that little bitch?"

The head nanny came closer to take a closer look, her eyes sparkling as she said, "My Lady, I see it is correct."

These words touched Concubine Shu's heart, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing a few times.

If it wasn't late at night, she really wanted to call Qi Rui over immediately to read the letter together and find out the prince's final fate.

"I have to plan carefully. Ask the third prince to come to me early tomorrow morning and tell him that there is something important to discuss." Concubine Shu ordered.

The head nanny took the order and helped Concubine Shu go to bed.

In the palace, Qi Binwei did not sleep all night. He was on edge the whole time, making sure that the news reached Concubine Shu. No step in the plan could fail.

It was almost dawn when Qi Binwei went to Emperor Jing'an's bedroom and saw Qi Rui walking out in a hurry.

Qi Binwei bowed his head and saluted. Qi Rui was in a good mood. He rarely looked at Qi Binwei for a second longer, with an ambiguous smile on his lips.

Then he quickened his pace and left.

Qi Binwei ignored him and went to the bedroom to serve the patient.

Qi Rui hurried to Concubine Shu's place with a happy look on his face. He couldn't wait to see what good stuff it was that was worth Concubine Shu calling him over so early in the morning.

Concubine Shu had previously told him not to leave Emperor Jing'an's bedroom unless it was something important, but now she sent someone to invite him.

Qi Rui had a rough idea in his mind, but he didn't know what it was. He felt itchy in his heart as if someone was tickling him with a feather.

"Mother, what's going on?"

"Come closer to me and take a look." After a night of silence, Concubine Shu had calmed down a lot and handed him the letter she received last night.

Qi Rui took it and looked at it. The corners of his lips, which were already curved, now turned up even more. He laughed a few times and didn't stop until a long time later.

What was written on it was: Find more medicinal incense and send it to the palace. He will die soon. The Miao doctor who provided the medicine must be killed. Don't let him speak. Remember this.

"Mother, where did you get it?" Qi Rui asked.

Concubine Shu told him everything that happened last night in detail, not missing any details.

Qi Rui's eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes were filled with joy and viciousness, he whispered slowly: "I will tell my father about this matter immediately. This idiot has been sitting on the throne of the crown prince for too long. I didn't expect that he would be so impatient. We underestimated him on weekdays."

Concubine Shu also agreed and said, "Well, I was shocked when I saw this letter. This bastard's son only knows how to eat and drink. He is as stupid as a pig and has deceived us all."

Qi Rui put the letter away.

"Mother, the letter says that this is a Miao doctor's prescription. Ordinary doctors can't find it. Did you send someone to look for it last night?"

"How could we send someone out of the palace last night? You must have been confused. If we had sent someone out of the palace last night, it would have disturbed other people. Rui'er, don't worry. Mammy sent someone out of the palace early in the morning to invite him. This Miao doctor has never been heard of before, but his poisoning skills are very powerful. If it weren't for this letter, we wouldn't have been able to find out even if your father had passed away."

Qi Rui smiled sinisterly and said, "So what? Otherwise, the prince is stupid. He wanted to send a message to his mother's clan, so he killed all the Miao doctors. He also wrote some words that shouldn't have been written. We can tell at a glance."

Concubine Shu stood up and walked to his side. She suddenly felt a little worried. After her joy, she thought about many things and vaguely felt that things seemed to be going too smoothly.

"You can't believe everything about this. Rui'er, just go ahead and do your thing. I will pave the way for you. No one can stand in my way."

Qi Rui nodded, bowed and left immediately. He wanted to catch the prince off guard.

After Qi Rui left, Concubine Shu still felt uneasy. She called the head nanny and said, "Send someone to invite Concubine An and Concubine De to come. Tell them that I haven't had tea and flowers with them for a long time. It's time to get together."

The head nanny stepped back and invited the person over.

On the other side, inside Emperor Jing'an's bedroom.

Emperor Jing'an woke up and was eating breakfast, while the Crown Prince and Qi Binwei were sitting beside him and eating together.

Emperor Jing'an had a good appetite and ate two bowls of porridge. He asked, "Prince, has your fourth brother not returned yet?"

The prince swallowed the food in his mouth and said stupidly, "No, I don't know what my fourth brother is doing. Although Qinghe City is far away, he should be back by now. Could it be that he didn't let my father go..."

Don’t you keep your father in your heart?

He didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, but the effect he wanted was achieved. Emperor Jing'an's face suddenly darkened.

The prince was feeling very proud, hoping that Emperor Jing'an would be furious and severely reprimand Qi Puyan, or even better, directly order him to be killed.

This way he will have less trouble and more security in the future.

Unfortunately, Emperor Jing'an's face only darkened for a moment, and he did not scold him. Instead, he said considerately: "Your fourth brother is also concerned about the people of Qinghe City. This drought is unprecedented, and we need to appease the people right now. I believe he will come back after appeasing the people for me. Wait a little longer."

The prince was somewhat unhappy inside, but he did not show it and chatted with Emperor Jing'an with a smile.

He glanced at Qi Binwei and saw that he was eating and drinking like a piece of wood, as if their conversation had nothing to do with him at all. The uncomfortable feeling in his heart disappeared a little.

Everyone wants his position, except Qi Binwei. So get rid of those two and we can talk about Qi Binwei later.

The prince's mood suddenly improved and he ate his breakfast slowly.

Qi Rui walked in from outside, saluted to Emperor Jing'an with a smile, then greeted the prince with a forced smile and glanced casually at Qi Binwei.

"Father, I have something important to report!"
