No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Lin Mingyan was a little angry seeing him like this, but she couldn't say anything.

After all, Li had been with him so long ago, and before she came, she was the most favored person.

Even if he had made a big mistake before, it was against Wu Yunzhu.

Now that so many years have passed and Wu Yunzhu is doing well, it is normal for people to start to forget some mistakes.

The Fourth Master might really not have any feelings for Li, but he was just worried that Wu Yunzhu would feel embarrassed, so he took care of Li.

But even if he was taking care of her in the name of the queen, didn't everyone in the palace see which way the wind was blowing?

Really, a man's whim can be a disaster.

Especially if this kind of behavior of the Fourth Master happened in a female-oriented novel, he would be scolded to death by readers.

Lin Mingyan used to curse the most harshly when she saw him, but now as soon as she opened her mouth, she bit his fingers.

The Fourth Master looked at the row of teeth marks on his hand and felt a little amused.

But he realized at this time that his intervention was indeed wrong.

This was an unpleasant treatment for both Cha Cha herself and her identity as the queen.

The Fourth Master also reacted and carefully observed her expression, trying to see from her face whether she was sad.

He was feeling a little uneasy at this time. He was so focused on the Black Cloud Pearl before that he did this in a fit of rage.

"Cha Cha, are you angry? Huh?" He waved the servants away, put his arm around Lin Mingyan, turned her shoulders, and asked hesitantly.

Lin Mingyan was of course angry, and at this moment she said in a low voice: "What right do I have to be angry? They are all your concubines..."

Before she could finish her words, she stopped herself.

It was only at this moment that she realized that deep down she still felt annoyed by the Fourth Master's other women.

But under this feudal system, she had no choice but to convince herself to accept it.

On the surface, he accepted it and the Fourth Master stopped going to other women, but these women still existed in name.

Even the fact that Li was imprisoned in the cold palace was a thorn in her throat.

The Fourth Master also discovered that he actually understood a little bit.

After all, even in the Qing Dynasty, not every man would take a concubine.

Some wealthy families have family rules that stipulate that family members can only take concubines if they are childless by the age of 30. If they have children, they must practice monogamy.

Not to mention that ordinary people can't even support their wives and children, so how can they possibly take concubines?

It turns out that Cha Cha envied this.

The Fourth Master almost blurted out: "Cha Cha, give me a little more time, until..."

But he did not say the following words directly. After all, it would take time to disband the harem.

It’s better to do it first and give her a surprise.

Otherwise, if I make a promise first, she will experience more disappointment if she keeps waiting.

The Fourth Master changed his tone and said, "I will never interfere in the affairs of the harem again."

"Cha Cha, don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Lin Mingyan couldn't really get angry about this, so he gave her a way out and said, "Then you have to promise that if there is a next time, I won't agree."

The Fourth Master saw the sadness in her eyes, and although he let it go easily, he felt a pang of heartache in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to give Li some respect and there was no need to bring this matter to Cha Cha.

Moreover, she pays more attention to external affairs, and does not actually have complete control over many things in the palace. She just needs to grasp the general direction.

If Li hadn't done such a bastard thing, there wouldn't be any problem at all!

The Fourth Master's temper immediately annoyed Li, and he turned around and took back all the dignity in his own tone.

Li felt like the sky was falling!

Life had just gotten better and my daughter had accepted me again, so how did it turn out like this again?

"So it really wasn't the Fourth Master who thought of me before?" Li asked herself in shock, her new clothes having lost their luster.

Although she was in the cold palace, she still had some news.

Geng didn't take good care of her daughter, and she knew that she had lost the Fourth Master's heart.

It happened that the queen gave her some grace again, and she began to have ideas.

After all, when she was in the palace, the queen disliked her and even tried to bully her.

It's good enough that you don't treat her harshly, how could you possibly show her any mercy for no reason?

When thinking of this, Li's breathing became rapid.

It must be that the Fourth Master is thinking of her again!

It must be the Fourth Master who ordered us to take care of her!

She knew that the Fourth Master was not such a heartless person, and she finally made it.

It was based on this understanding that Li began to act quietly.

She began to send people around her out frequently to see if she could test Wu Yunzhu's attitude.

Unexpectedly, I had such good luck that I ran into him before I even did anything.

Li thought that since the Fourth Master had already spoken, it shouldn't be a big deal for her to contact Wu Yunzhu.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a big mistake!

Originally, she was alone in the cold palace, and the queen kept the harem under strict control, so no one wanted to cause trouble for her.

Now that His Majesty has done this, her life has become difficult.

Let’s not talk about others. If Geng doesn’t bite her to death, it would be a shame for her to have raised Wu Yunzhu for so many years.

Lin Mingyan turned a blind eye to Geng's revenge.

By the time Wu Yunzhu reacted, Mrs. Li had been sick in bed for several days.

She asked her personal maid Liu Zhi, "Why did you suddenly get sick? Uh...didn't Mrs. Li say she hadn't been sick much in all these years?"

When she was in the cold palace, she saw that Li was having a miserable life and was worried about her health.

Unexpectedly, she said that no one cared about her during these years in the cold palace and she really didn't get sick much.

Now, just because I met her and had a meal with her, and we didn't even say anything extra, you're sick?

Wu Yunzhu grew up in the palace and was not an innocent girl. She knew there was something wrong after a little thought.

In order to vent their anger, Geng openly bullied Li.

She didn't even have to ask, she knew it.

When there is a conflict between the biological mother and the adoptive mother, generally speaking, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to the child.

But when Wu Yunzhu thought of the grievances implied in Li's words, her heart ached.

But she was still young, and it was not easy for her to do anything for Li openly.

She could only dress up again when no one was paying attention and secretly go to the cold palace to visit Li.

Li was really treated badly this time. It was the first month of the year, and she was punished to kneel in the snow for half a day because she bumped into Concubine Yu.

With a pair of red and swollen knees and a pale face, he lay in the tattered cotton quilt, which made people feel sad and cry.

Not to mention that Wu Yunzhu is a sensitive person, and seeing her like this really makes him heartbroken.

"Mother, how are you?" She finally stopped calling her Li and called out to her mother anxiously.
