It would be better to be quiet for a while, and wait for the prince to really... show his ability then?

I am afraid that the tree wants to be still but the wind will not stop. If they do not move, what if other princes move and seize the opportunity?

This cannot be done recklessly.

After this incident, the court was temporarily quiet.

After two or three days of hard work, Fang Nanzhi and Qin Yan finally managed to build up the mall to a certain size. The system had been connected to various dimensions, and now they just had to wait for the profits.

Fang Nanzhi received a hint from the chief eunuch and began to write letters to the palace, one every two or three days.

Nothing special, just some family stuff.

She wanted to know what delicious food she had eaten today, what she had read about poisonous insects, and to encourage the prince. She was already trying hard to find a way to make him persevere.

When Qingyan received the letter, he felt as if he could hear the little girl chattering, and couldn't help but write back to her when he was not in so much pain.

After seeing this, the emperor felt much more at ease. At the same time, the case of the assassination of Zhou Lao and Fang Nanzhi during this period was also investigated to the critical point.

Following Nanny Fang's clues, they actually found the two people in the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother was very sensible and allowed the Emperor's men to arrest the men. However, the two men started to criticize the Queen Mother.

What about the Empress Dowager, who was involved in a secret decree left by the late Emperor and dared not allow Prince Ning to ascend the throne, but had been secretly plotting for her grandson Qingyao and plotting against the Crown Prince...

They all work for the Queen Mother.

Of course, the emperor did not believe this statement and ordered them to be tortured. The three men were all stubborn and refused to change their story. However, the person in charge of the interrogation was a master of torture and was used to seeing blood.

He still managed to get some clues out of the three people and finally found out that it was Concubine Wei.

Speaking of Concubine Wei, she is an old woman around the emperor. She has been with the emperor since before he ascended the throne. However, she has not been favored over the years and is only a concubine.

The emperor personally went to ask Concubine Wei, but of course she was unaware of the situation. She also said that after so many years of relationship, didn’t His Majesty have any trust in her at all?

However, the emperor was hard-hearted and wanted to save the prince, so he ordered the torture.

Concubine Wei couldn't bear it anymore and knew that she had completely lost the emperor's trust, so she confessed.

"Your Majesty, I simply had someone add something to the bird's nest that the Queen drinks every day. It will make pregnant women irritable and increase the risk of miscarriage."

"I don't know about the prince's illness."

"I don't even dare to give you an abortion pill. I have to beat around the bush. How could I have the guts to harm the Crown Prince?"

Concubine Wei had blood on the corner of her mouth and smiled bitterly.

The emperor's eyes were grim: "Why? How dare you harm the queen?"

"Why! Your Majesty, why do you say?"

There was sadness and madness in Concubine Wei's eyes.

"For you!"

"She is already the queen, your wife, of a high status, and has received the emperor's favor. But why can't she be more generous and let you enjoy your share of the harem more evenly?"

"That year, you went to the Queen's palace for half a month straight, but it was clearly me who slept with you that day. Your Majesty, you turned over my card, but went to the Queen's instead."

"Your Majesty, I've been with you for so long, and I've only slept with you once. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. In more than 20 years, I've only received your favor once. If I tell anyone, I'll be a joke."

"How many years of youth can a woman have? How many twenty years can she have? Do you know how I have lived these twenty years? Loneliness and solitude all day long."

"I hate it! If the Queen hadn't fought for your favor, Your Majesty, when you came to my palace, wouldn't I have had the chance to have a child?"

"Even if you no longer favor me in the future, with this child, I have something to look forward to instead of just wasting my time."

Weipin's tears rolled down her cheeks. She knew that if her attack on the queen was discovered, she would not survive.

She was a little dazed. She had entered the palace with great expectations back then, so how did she become like this?

The emperor's expression was grim and he remained unmoved. "Have you done anything else?"

Concubine Wei shook her head: "No, Your Majesty, the medicine we gave you back then didn't work, and didn't the Queen give birth normally?"

It's hard to tell whether his tone was disappointment or something else.

The emperor suddenly grabbed her neck, his face grim: "But the queen is dead! Your medicine made her emotionally agitated during labor and caused heavy bleeding. You bitch, you killed the queen!"

Concubine Wei was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. She tried to pry the emperor's hands open with her hands, but she had no strength.

The emperor really had murderous intentions.

If the Queen had not had a difficult delivery, how could he have been depressed for several years, afraid to face the Crown Prince, causing the Crown Prince to suffer all kinds of grievances in the palace and causing the father and son to become estranged?

Concubine Wei's face turned red and her struggling hands gradually lost strength.

The emperor closed his eyes and let go.

"Bang!" Concubine Wei fell to the ground, gasping violently.

"Princess Wei, have you forgotten how you came to follow me? I hate you because you disgust me, it has nothing to do with the Queen."

The emperor spoke indifferently and left the palace directly after that.

Concubine Wei paused, vaguely remembering how she had drugged the emperor and plotted against him...

She thought the emperor didn't know, but it turned out that he just didn't expose her?

Outside the door, a distant voice sounded: "In three days, Concubine Wei will die of illness."

The emperor strode away. He believed that Concubine Wei did not know about the witchcraft incident because she still had to consider the Wei family.

Concubine Wei screamed in the palace, unwilling to give in, but no one paid any attention to her.

The emperor was in a heavy mood. He didn't know who the person in the palace was. He hid the truth too deeply. First it was the empress dowager, and then it was Concubine Wei. He found two scapegoats for himself.

This person is very scheming and has great influence in the palace. Who could he be?

The emperor was walking when he suddenly stopped and his expression changed slightly.

"Somebody come!"

Fang Mansion.

Fang Tong had someone pack two bags of smelly, white stuff and bring them in.

It's wool.

He read in the book his daughter gave him that wool can be made into yarn, which can be used to knit sweaters, which have excellent warmth-keeping effects.

He wanted to try it, so he went out to buy some wool, which was fortunately not expensive.

Fang Tong, Qian Fengping, and a few servants were washing wool, each with a large basin.

It stinks so bad that I can't open my eyes.

"Wife, don't work anymore. We have enough manpower." Fang Tong felt sorry for his wife.

Qian Fengping didn't listen: "It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway."

"Boss Wu is coming to Beijing soon. He wrote to say he's planning something, a new product cake party, and asked me to wait until the new product party to bring out the new products I've been working on. I don't need to send them to the cake shop."

So, Qian Fengping is really not too busy. She just checks the accounts on weekdays and doesn't need to look at them every day.

"Old Wu is coming? Then invite him to have a meal at home." Fang Tong smiled.

They have been friends for many years and have even been in jail together, so their relationship is extraordinary.

"Okay, by the way, Brother Xiaohu will be here soon. I have already cleaned up the guest room in the past two days." Qian Fengping remembered.

Fang Tong was stunned. How could he not know about this? He didn't even send anyone over.

"Your son and daughter asked for it, saying something important happened." Qian Fengping glanced at him.

Fang Tong murmured: "Why don't you tell me if you still see me as your father?"
