"Please give me one more chance, Queen Mother. I will definitely root out the evil!"

"Oh? But I have already given you a chance, and you didn't seize it. You should understand that you represent the Xia family. Since you are useless, don't blame me for supporting other people."

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Shu with indifference, and disdained her assurance:

Where do so many opportunities come from? Just as eggs cannot be put in one basket at a time, opportunities cannot be given to only one person.

After asking Concubine Shu to leave, the Queen Mother asked Nanny Sun to send a letter back to her father. The content of the letter was very simple, asking her father to pay more attention to girls of marriageable age in the family and send them to the palace to accompany her.

"Empress Dowager, if you do this, I'm afraid it will hurt Concubine Shu's feelings. Aren't you afraid that Concubine Shu will have ulterior motives?" Nanny Sun asked cautiously.

"Have ulterior motives? I can support her to take the position of Concubine Shu, or I can pull her down. In the harem, I have the final say." The Queen Mother sneered, not taking Nanny Sun's words seriously at all.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun stopped talking so as not to displease the empress dowager.

In less than half a day, Jiang Wange entered Fengming Palace, which immediately caused dissatisfaction among the concubines in the harem.

After all, this Fengming Palace has produced several queens. The current empress dowager lived in this Fengming Palace when she was the queen.

"Damn it, this is outrageous! Your Majesty actually let this bitch live in Fengming Palace! Why? Could it be that Your Majesty is thinking of making her the queen?"

"Perhaps His Majesty just wants Jiang Liangyuan to keep an eye on her under his nose. After all, the assassination just happened, and His Majesty is keeping a closer eye on her." Nanny Sun said in a low voice.

"Oh, that bitch is lucky that the assassin didn't take her life. Who would have thought that Your Majesty would protect her so well. What a vixen!" the Queen Mother scolded.

After seeing this, Nanny Sun dared not say anything, for fear of incurring the wrath of the Queen Mother.

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more she was unwilling to accept it. She had to do something. Otherwise, since His Majesty doted on Jiang Wange so much, it would only be a matter of time before she was made a concubine and queen! She was not worthy at all!

Xiahou Xuan personally accompanied Jiang Wange in the move, mainly to let Jiang Wange stay in Fengming Palace to watch over it. The palace servants moved Jiang Wange's more personal and useful things to Fengming Palace, and Fengming Palace had no shortage of other things.

"Do you like your new bedroom?" Xiahou Xuan looked at Jiang Wange with a flattering expression and asked her.

"Well, the environment is very nice, I like it very much, but Your Majesty, can you please not let other people live in Xianfu Palace? I have planted a lot of bamboos, and I will go to dig bamboo shoots to eat next year."

Not only bamboo shoots, she also grew some vegetables, all of which are edible.

"You are just thinking about food. Tomorrow I will have someone renovate two plots of land for you in the side yard of Fengming Palace. Can you transplant the bamboo and vegetables to Fengming Palace?"

Xiahou Xuan was full of helplessness. Why was her mind full of food?

"That's great, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wange was very happy to hear him say that. This way she didn't have to worry about her bamboo and vegetables being eaten by others.

"Logically speaking, how can you, a rich lady who lives in seclusion, be so interested in farm matters?"

Xiahou Xuan looked at Jiang Wange with great curiosity. Although he knew that she was not Jiang Huaiyuan's biological daughter, he still asked this question.

"Perhaps this is the awakening of the flower-growing family bloodline. This kind of pastoral life has always been what I long for."

In his previous life, Jiang Wange was frail and sickly, bedridden and seldom had the chance to go out, let alone grow vegetables and flowers, as he simply did not have the energy to do so.

Fortunately, God gave her a healthy body in her new life. Although it was still a little weak, it was much better than her previous body, and she didn't dare to ask for more.

"Why do you always say things that I don't understand? I'm beginning to doubt whether you are from Fengyu Country." Xiahou Xuan laughed.

Jiang Wange was startled and realized belatedly that he had exposed too much.

"Alas, I read these words from a storybook. It's normal that Your Majesty doesn't understand them."

"Really? Then it seems that I have to take a look at the books you read every day, otherwise it will be difficult to communicate with you in the future."

"Your Majesty, be careful not to be accused of not doing your job properly. As the emperor of Fengyu Kingdom, Your Majesty should be reading memorials instead of idle novels." Jiang Wange couldn't help but complain.

"I only watched it with you in private, how could others know? Although I am the emperor, I am also a human being. I should have my own hobbies and leisure time. Even the Imperial Censor cannot control me."

Hearing this, Jiang Wange remained silent and did not continue arguing with him.

"My lady, everything has been packed up." Qianyue walked up to her and said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. You and Yu Jin suffered last night. Have a good rest today and don't do anything else." Jiang Wange is very considerate of his people.

"My lady, it's all because of my uselessness. I was knocked unconscious by the assassin. How could I dare to rest? I wish I could follow you all the time."

Qianyue felt very guilty. Fortunately, Yufeng was there, otherwise the young lady would be in great danger.

"It's not your fault. You don't know martial arts or medicine, so it's hard to guard against being knocked unconscious."

Jiang Wange did not blame Qianyue and Yujin. Instead, she felt that she was the one who implicated them. After all, the assassin's target was her.

At night, Xiahou Xuan stayed in Fengming Palace and did nothing but hugged Jiang Wange to sleep.

"Your Majesty, have you found out who wants to harm me?"

"When my Black Guards found the assassin, he had already been silenced and the clue was gone." Xiahou Xuan sighed helplessly.

I was still a step late.

Jiang Wange was not disappointed when he heard this, as he had already expected this result.

"In fact, we don't even need to check to know that they are just people from the Queen Mother's faction." Jiang Wange said in a muffled voice.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you. There won't be a next time." Xiahou Xuan apologized to Jiang Wange with a serious face.

"Your Majesty did not send anyone to assassinate me, so you don't need to apologize. But I remembered one thing. Why did Your Majesty disguise himself as an assassin and sneak into Xianfu Palace and hold me hostage? Was he testing me, or did something happen that day?"

The assassin's attempt on her reminded Jiang Wange of the night when Xiahou Xuan threatened her with a sword, so she couldn't help but ask.

Xiahou Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask about this matter.

"If I say that I went to kill someone that night, would you believe me?"

"Ah? Killing people? You are the emperor, do you need to do it yourself?" Jiang Wange looked incredulous.

Xiahou Xuan smiled softly, then explained:

"I was looking for something that night. That thing could only be found by me personally, so I disguised myself as an assassin. Unexpectedly, I was discovered by the palace guards. So I had no choice but to come to Xianfu Palace and hold you hostage to avoid pursuit."

"Did your Majesty find what you wanted?"
