Harem Daily Life

He Linzhang had just arrived and was not clear about the current situation. He was very unhappy when Shu Fei asked him this.

"Your Majesty, you have come at the right time. We have finally found an eyewitness to the incident of Kang'er falling into the water. Someone saw that it was the eldest prince who pushed Kang'er into the water. The maidservant beside Concubine Tao was also identified as being at the scene, but she insisted that she did not see it clearly." Concubine Shu explained the matter in a few words and glared at Tao Yanyan fiercely.

"Okay, Concubine Shu, this happened a long time ago, and we cannot be sure that it was done by the eldest prince." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at the Emperor and said, "I have already ordered Concubine De to go back and discipline the eldest prince."

He Linzhang nodded, and seeing that Tao Yanyan still had a cold expression on his face, he frowned and said, "You need to rest more. I will take you back."

Shu Fei saw that what she said was useless and that neither the Queen Mother nor His Majesty stood on her side. She was so angry that she could no longer speak.

When Li Cairen saw that the emperor didn't even look at her after he came, she felt very aggrieved, but she couldn't let Tao Yanyan leave so easily.

"Your Majesty~" Li Cairen's voice was gentle and sad: "I just returned to the palace not long ago. I heard about the experience of the third prince, and I couldn't help but bring people to expose it. But Concubine Tao's maid was clearly at the scene that day, and Concubine Tao also knew about it, but she didn't stand up after such a long time. Your Majesty, isn't Concubine Tao too cold-blooded..."

Concubine Ning couldn't bear to watch this, and looked at Li Cairen like she was an idiot: "Is Li Cairen deaf? Didn't you understand what the Imperial Concubine said before? Oh, even if you didn't listen to what the Imperial Concubine said, you should have listened to what the Queen Mother said. The Queen Mother has already made a decision! You are still here holding on to Concubine Tao, what are you thinking!"

Li Cairen didn't expect Concubine Ning to help out. She was stunned for a moment: "This... The Queen Mother only solved the matter between Concubine De and Concubine Shu, but Concubine Tao kept it secret and didn't report it, so she revealed it so easily?"

Concubine Ning sneered, "Oh, I can see that you came back to the palace just to make trouble for the Imperial Concubine, right? Today we are going to deal with the matter between Concubine De and Concubine Shu. The Imperial Concubine is not related to you, but you are biting her. You are making things difficult for a pregnant woman. You have a vicious mind!"

When Li Cairen heard Concubine Ning insulting her in front of His Majesty, she immediately burst into tears and felt extremely wronged: "I just feel that Concubine Tao is not wholeheartedly thinking about the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and has no other thoughts! Please understand Your Majesty. I am here to testify with my injuries, but Concubine Tao's actions are really chilling."

Tao Yanyan listened to it over and over again, her ears were about to be callused. She said in annoyance: "Queen Dowager, I believe you already know what kind of person I am. I am a little tired and don't want to continue arguing with a brainless person here. I want to take my leave and go back to rest."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, go back quickly, be careful the road is slippery."

As soon as He Linzhang saw her, he wanted to accompany her. Li Cairen exclaimed: "Your Majesty, my injury has not healed yet and I am in great pain. Can Your Majesty accompany me?"

Tao Yanyan paused when He Linzhang held her hand. Tired of this "choose one of two" drama, she shook He Linzhang's hand away violently, and before He Linzhang could react, she strode straight to the door.

Concubine Ning quickly stood up and said, "I will accompany Concubine Tao. I will take my leave first." After saying that, she strode to follow Tao Yanyan's steps.

He Linzhang now had nothing in his hands and was extremely angry: I said I would go back with you, but you left in anger?

I didn't say I wanted to accompany others!

Li Cairen smiled complacently and was about to speak, but He Linzhang said to the Queen Mother: "I still have some official business to attend to in the previous court, so I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he didn't even look at Li Cairen and went straight out of Changchun Palace.

Li Cairen chased after him regardless of the rules, but she was injured and could not walk fast. After being helped out by Lu Cairen, she could no longer see the emperor!

Li Cairen was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Okay, okay, you don't like me anymore, right? I must take good care of myself and make you fall in love with me again!"

Li Cairen blocked her abdomen and swore secretly.

Lu Cairen reminded her, "Sister, she is favored now and His Majesty is always around her because she has a child. Sister, you should think of a way to get the Fourth Princess back first. Humph, Liang Zhaoyi was even promoted to a higher position because she raised my child! I heard that His Majesty often visits her."

Li Cairen's eyes darkened, and she thought, "Okay, then I'll take the child back first. With the child, I can find any opportunity to invite His Majesty over. Over time, I don't believe that His Majesty won't put his heart back on me."

Lu Cairen seemed to have seen the beautiful life in the future, but she thought of something else and frowned, "Sister, now we have completely offended Concubine De. If she deals with us, what should we do?"

Li Cairen glanced at her and said, "De Fei is not favored, so if we offend her, then we offend her. Even if we don't offend her, can she still stand by us and help us? If she dares to embarrass us with this, the worst that can happen is that we will die with her!"

Li Cairen knew that her current situation had hit rock bottom, and she had given it her all.

Shufei and Defei were completely at odds. After the two came out of Changchun Palace, Defei stopped Shufei and said, "Tell me, was it you who caused the eldest prince to fall into the water the day before yesterday? Did you listen to Li Cairen's words and deliberately take revenge on her?"

Shu Fei sneered, "My prince is the son I risked my life for. Anyone who dares to hurt him is my enemy! If you can't control the eldest prince again, I don't mind helping you discipline him. Remember, this is just a small punishment. If I find out in the future that the eldest prince is still targeting my son, I will never let it go!"

After Shu Fei finished speaking, she got on her own sedan chair and left with a cold face, leaving De Fei standing there with a sullen look on her face.

Haitang stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, let's go back early. The eldest prince has a high fever and hasn't recovered yet."

Concubine De looked back at Changchun Palace and said, "The Queen Mother is probably disgusted with us, mother and son."

Although the Queen Mother kept saying that there was no evidence, she probably knew it in her heart. Defei frowned and was helped by Haitang to the sedan chair. She felt exhausted and tired like never before.

But when she thought of Concubine Tao's maid being present at the scene, her eyes darkened: Concubine Tao actually remained neutral on this matter? She couldn't figure out why.

Tao Yanyan didn't really ask Concubine Ning to send her off. She had already persuaded the princess to go back because the third princess needed someone to take care of her. Not long after returning to Changchun Palace, He Linzhang also arrived.

Tao Yanyan didn't want to pay attention to him. She lay on the chaise longue with a sullen look, flipping through a storybook in her hand.

He Linzhang stepped forward and snatched the book from her hand: "You ran away when you were unhappy, and you took my child with you and walked so fast without waiting for me."

Tao Yanyan glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty has a beautiful lady to accompany you, what am I doing staying here? Hurry up and make room for you so that Your Majesty can accompany your beautiful lady."

He Linzhang pinched her face and said, "Why are you so irritable? You are a mother of several children, but you have a bad temper."
