In the Yonghe Palace, in the Buddhist hall, Wu Da Ying, who was chanting sutras while beating a wooden fish, suddenly stopped. She seemed to have heard some noise. Just as she was about to call for help to ask what was going on, the door suddenly creaked.

Xia Ju, who looked shocked, hurried in and said quickly:

"Master, the Emperor has appointed Imperial Noble Consort Xian as the Empress, issued a general amnesty, and also appointed the Fifteenth Prince as the Prince of Heshuo Xiaoyao, banning him from the imperial court forever and from inheriting the throne forever."

Hearing this, Wu Ying swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and immediately said with a serious expression:

"What happened? Tell me from the beginning."

Xia Ju quickly recounted the events of the full moon banquet to her master. At the end, she said in disbelief:

"Royal Consort Xian, no, it's the Empress who is thinking. You should know that just because of the Emperor's favor towards her, the Fifteenth Prince has become the legitimate son and his status is comparable to that of the Crown Prince. He will have a great chance in the future. But the Empress made such a decision. She is really wise and selfless. Today, I finally understand why the Emperor favors the Empress so much."

When she said the last sentence, Xia Ju realized that she had said too much and quickly shut up.

Wu Da Ying tightly grasped the wooden fish in her hand. She never thought that there would be someone who would not be tempted by the throne!

That's the throne! The emperor of a country, the supreme ruler, above all people. She couldn't help but wonder if the emperor made the decision for the sake of the crown prince and the country, and just to save face for that person, so he said it was that person's decision.

But as soon as this guess emerged in his mind, Wu agreed to eliminate it immediately.

She had some understanding of the emperor. The emperor was wise and brave, a natural emperor, and he had used the emperor's mentality to the extreme.

Even if it was really for the sake of the country, he would not make such a decision, because with the emperor's ability, he can balance the two, so how could he do such a wrong to the child of his beloved woman.

This decision could only have been made by the new queen. She really had no ambition and no intention of competing with the prince. This was great news for the court, but very bad news for Wu Da Ying.

She had a secret buried deep in her heart, a secret only known to her and her father, even her mother didn't know.

When she was three years old, she went out with her mother to burn incense. Her mother helped her shake a stick and prepared to find a monk to interpret it. Her father came to pick them up. There were too many people in the temple, so she followed her father and waited for her mother under a tree.

At that moment, a monk who was passing by had already walked past her, but suddenly stopped, walked back to her, looked at her face carefully, and asked her father about her birth date.

Her father saw that the monk was very serious and said it after careful consideration. Unexpectedly, when the monk heard it, he immediately sighed and said that he was not wrong. Her father asked curiously what he meant by not wrong.

The monk smiled and said "Amitabha", saying that she was born with the life of a phoenix and would be extremely wealthy in the future, and that all the wealth and glory of the family depended on her.

Her father's expression changed immediately. He wanted to ask more questions, but the monk left without looking back. No matter how hard he tried to chase him, he couldn't find him. From then on, her father began to make preparations and secretly train her.

Just after ten years of preparation, she reached the age and entered the palace after a minor selection. She was favored by the late Empress Xiaoyi. She rose from a palace maid to one of the Four Consorts and raised two sons and two daughters.

Because of her, the family became the leader of the Baoyi family. Everything was just as the monk said, and she and her father believed the monk's comments even more.

Because of this incident, even though she has fallen from the sky now, she has never felt despair in her heart. She knows that her current low point is only temporary, and in the future she will definitely ascend to the throne and rule the country.

And being in a low position is not entirely without advantages. No one will notice her and she can hide behind.

It was she who planned the matter of the Queen giving birth to a child. Her idea at the time was that it would be best if the Queen and her child could be eliminated, rather than putting the blame on Hesheli.

Let the Queen and her son fight against Hesheli and the Crown Prince. The two sides will surely be evenly matched, and the eldest prince and those adult princes will certainly not be content to be left out. If several sides fight each other, when her fourteenth child grows up, they will all be hurt, and that will be the fourteenth child's chance.

But unexpectedly, after the game was set up, Shi Nanxi, who became the queen, actually withdrew directly. As a result, the fight between the two tigers ended, the position of the prince was consolidated again, and the entire plan was disrupted. She risked being discovered and wasted two chess pieces that had been buried for many years, and as a result, everything returned to the starting point.

"master?"

Seeing that her master's face was livid and she was reluctant to speak, Xia Ju became a little worried and couldn't help but speak.

Wu agreed to close her eyes and took a deep breath. If it didn't work this time, she would find another chance later. When she opened her eyes again, she had calmed down and ordered:

"Tell everyone to hide. No one is allowed to contact us unless we contact them first."

Xia Ju also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she immediately agreed, closed the door and left. The Buddhist hall returned to silence. Wu Yingda regained his composure and started striking the wooden fish again.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

On the other side, in the Fourth Prince's mansion, in Shi Rongyue's courtyard, Shi Rongyue's health has been deteriorating since he coughed up blood last time. The imperial physician came to see him and sighed, saying that they could only take it one step at a time.

Anyone could hear the surprise in these words. Shi Rongyue was afraid that she would not get better. Madam Gu and the servants burst into tears, and the whole yard was dead silent.

Shi Rongyue used to be able to wake up, but now she is in a coma most of the day. Even when she wakes up, she keeps talking to herself incomprehensible words and folds paper stars.

But today was an exception. Shi Rongyue was particularly sober at this moment. He did not mutter to himself while folding paper stars, but sat waiting for news from the palace.

By the window, Nanny Gu received a pigeon message from the palace. Before she could hold it firmly, Shi Rongyue, who was waiting anxiously, called her over:

"Quick, pass the message to me."

Nanny Gu quickly handed the note to the concubine. Shi Rongyue opened the note and read it quickly. She thought she had read it wrong, so she read it again word by word.

After reading it several times and making sure that he had not read it wrong, Shi Rongyue suddenly went crazy and crumpled up the note and threw it to the ground, his eyes red, and he said angrily:

"Empress, Empress, Shi Nanxi was actually named Empress. Why, why? She is just an ancient person!"

Thinking of Shi Nanxi becoming the queen, second only to the emperor and the mother of the country, her eyes were filled with jealousy. She, a time-traveling girl, was not as good as an ancient feudal woman, and she felt extremely unwilling.

Then she thought of the decision Shi Nanxi had made for the newly born Fifteenth Prince. She seemed to have found an attack point and sneered viciously.

"Humph, so what if Shi Nanxi was named the queen? She is just a coward. She doesn't even dare to fight. She directly cuts off her own son's path. She will definitely be resented by her own son in the future. I am waiting to see her miserable end when she is old."

"That's it. How powerful am I? But it's nothing. Maybe Kangxi made the decision to confer the title of King Xiaoyao and never let her enter the court and have no right of inheritance for the sake of the crown prince. She is just a figurehead. I don't know how unwilling she must be inside, but she has to smile. She must be so frustrated!"

Nanny Gu listened to her master's scolding, half understanding it, and picked up the note with a heavy heart. When she opened it, she was immediately horrified.

Just as he was about to speak, Shi Rongyue vomited blood and fainted again while cursing.

Nanny Gu didn't care about anything else and hurriedly called for help:

"Someone, please call the imperial physician! Please call the imperial physician quickly!"
