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

Just a few days after Hongshi's wedding, the army set out after Sanchao returned to his parents' home.

Nara Xingde also came back. When he and Wu Yunzhu came to the Old Summer Palace to pay their respects, Lin Mingyan was shocked.

The truth is that this child was just a little darker before, but now he is very dark and thin, and looks a bit pitiful.

Wu Yunzhu didn't feel sorry for her. She had servants to serve her, but she still ordered him to do everything.

When Nara Xingde was once again ordered by her to get her something, the Fourth Master couldn't help but say, "Xinghui, sit down for a while and try the cakes from the imperial kitchen."

As she said this, she glanced at Wu Yunzhu. Wu Yunzhu could only curl her lips and let her maid do it.

She was not bullying Naraxingde, but she just ordered her husband to do this and that in front of outsiders to give her face.

Nara Xinghui has been working quietly, and her impression in front of the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan has become better and better.

Even the Fourth Master felt that Wu Yunzhu was going too far, let alone Lin Mingyan.

She felt that there was something wrong with Nara Xingde's attitude, but after all, she was not her own daughter, so some things were really hard to say.

All they could do was give them more rewards and praise Nara Xingde more, and they had to live on their own from then on.

Half a month passed in a flash. After being a grandson for half a month, Nara Xingde set off for Maocheng again.

Zhang Songqing sat in the carriage with him, his eyes full of dissatisfaction: "The princess doesn't take the general seriously at all!"

He had been so envious of Narasimha before. He came from a prominent family, achieved success at a young age, and married such a noble princess.

However, it was only after half a month in the capital that he realized what kind of life the general lived.

Nara Xingde didn't feel any emotion at all. He now regarded Wu Yunzhu as his boss.

Isn’t it natural for the boss to have requirements?

He does whatever he is told to do. He is just doing his duty as a princess consort.

He asked, "Have you investigated what I asked you to investigate?"

Zhang Songqing scratched his head and said dejectedly, "I checked... I found it..."

But regarding this matter, he really didn't know how to start.

"What? Disgraceful?" Narasimha also vaguely guessed something.

So during the past half month that he was a grandson, he arranged for Zhang Songqing, a stranger to him, to investigate some matters concerning Wu Yunzhu.

Zhang Songqing shook his head: "Nothing, I just heard that the princess wanted to propose to Master Niuhulu before, but was rejected..."

He found a nanny who used to be with Geng and spent a lot of money to find out the truth.

After leaving the palace, this nanny was driven out because she offended the guards hired by Geng, and her life was not very good.

Zhang Songqing was willing to spend money, so she told Geng and Wu Yunzhu about their original plan, and also mentioned the incident of her being abducted.

After hearing this, Narasimde's cup shattered in his hand: "I see!"

He was not upset about being chosen. After all, he knew from a young age that he would have to compete with others to be noticed by the Emperor.

But Wu Yunzhu clearly had someone else in her heart, but she still married him.

Even after marrying him, she stopped even pretending to be harmonious with him.

In this way, those who are weak, have inferior clothes, and are looked down upon will all have traces to follow.

He, Narasimha, is a complete fool!

She didn't even want to act anymore, but he foolishly gave his whole heart to her.

Zhang Songqing's eyes were sore, but he didn't know how to comfort her: "General..."

Narasinde waved his hand at him and said, "It's alright. Why should a man indulge in petty love affairs?"

Isn’t it enough that he can get the title of Prince Consort and have the opportunity to climb up the social ladder?

And his descendants will stand at a higher starting point and restore the glory of the Nara clan!

What's this little bit of grievance?

It's just feelings, and they will never come back.

We only have one heart, and if we give it to others and discard it like a worn-out shoe, he will never be able to get it back.

The Fourth Master also felt that his children's relationships were going well, and he was full of energy every day.

After the spring came, news came from the palace - something bad happened to the deposed crown prince.

The second son was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, and his wives and concubines followed him.

A few years ago, Shi Jia submitted a memorial, saying that since monogamy was the norm, the other concubines should be sent out of the palace.

After all, Xian'an Palace is a small place, and locking up so many people is a torture for everyone.

Shi Jia was a responsible person. She stayed behind to free everyone else.

The Fourth Master nodded in agreement, and only the couple were left in Xian'an Palace.

The Fourth Master was kind to his nephews and nieces of the next generation. Hongxi and others were given separate homes and studied in the Imperial College as usual.

At this moment, the news of the dethronement of the crown prince suddenly came, and both the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan felt a little dazed.

This person really has no sense of existence.

The Fourth Master was actually not very afraid that he would cause trouble. After all, Emperor Kangxi personally issued an imperial decree to appoint him as the Crown Prince.

Moreover, his succession to the throne was accompanied by an imperial decree appointing Honghui as the crown prince, so he ascended to the throne legitimately.

Some people may say something sarcastic, saying that he got the throne because he had a good son and was blessed by Honghui.

But no one will mention the deposed prince again. Once deposed, he is deposed.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. The prince's original forces had long ago severed ties with him and became a lowly person.

There was no news about the prince outside, and some people even thought he had died long ago.

If the Fourth Master had not given some rewards to Xian'an Palace every New Year as a token of his kindness, he would have completely disappeared from history.

"What disease is it?" the Fourth Master asked the imperial physician with a frown.

The imperial physician wiped his sweat and said, "He is in great physical distress and depressed. I'm afraid he has the will to die."

Although the first two sentences are beautified, the final meaning is that the deposed prince does not want to live anymore.

But it's also true that anyone who has been imprisoned for ten years would not want to live.

After all, people need freedom, and he can't endure such a life.

The deposed prince could smell the rotten smell in the room even as he lay in bed.

Shi Jia was a person of strong character. Even when she was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, she insisted on keeping herself neat and presentable.

There could not be any flowers, plants, trees, etc. in Xian'an Palace, so she found a way to get vegetable seeds and planted them in the open space.

Because of this mentality, she is the one who lives the most freely.

He couldn't depose the crown prince. He felt that living like this was really meaningless.

He no longer has any worldly desires.

Shi Jia brought the medicine bowl and placed it on the bedside to cool, advising: "The imperial physician came and prescribed medicine. Drink it and you will be fine."

"Don't think too much. The Emperor is a law-abiding person. We live our own lives and no one cares."

The deposed prince shook his head and closed his eyes: "It's all because of me that I've dragged you down."

"The fourth brother and his wife have no quarrel with you. After I die, you will be free..."
