Meng Yunshang's hesitation made Concubine Xian feel uneasy.

She wished Meng Yunshang would agree immediately, but she also knew that Meng Yunshang was not someone who would be manipulated by others.

After thinking it over again and again, she nodded to Meng Yunshang, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Meng Yunshang nodded lightly, waited for Fuling to come back, then stood up and left.

On the way out of the palace, Fuling whispered to Meng Yunshang, "The queen went back to Fengyi Palace and was furious. She said a lot of unpleasant things."

Meng Yunshang understood, "Nine and a half out of ten sentences are insulting me."

Fuling nodded, "I sprinkled some colorless and odorless powder into the Queen's tea. It's not fatal, but it will itch for a while. The imperial physician will only say that the Queen has skin allergies when he examines her."

Meng Yunshang turned around in surprise.

Fuling was startled by what she saw, thinking that she had acted on her own and ruined the princess's plan.

He quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, but was quickly supported by Meng Yunshang.

Fuling was puzzled, "Princess?"

"I'm just surprised that you can have access to the Queen's food. I don't mean to blame you."

Fuling heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "At that time, the Queen was furious, and the palace maids in Fengyi Palace were too scared to approach her, which gave me the opportunity."

Meng Yunshang nodded, "Besides that, what other information have you found out?"

"I heard that before Imperial Doctor Hu, the Empress preferred Imperial Doctor Li to check her pulse. But Imperial Doctor Li was unlucky and passed away due to a sudden illness a few years ago."

"Doctor Li..."

Meng Yunshang searched for relevant information about Imperial Physician Li in her mind, but she had not been to the palace many times in the past, so she didn't gain much.

But just because she didn't know didn't mean Lu Chenxiao didn't know.

Thinking of how he recognized Fuling's identity at first sight, Meng Yunshang decided to ask him about the situation when she returned home.

Guo Yue has been having a hard time lately.

The eldest branch of the Guo family lost the lucrative position of Liangjiang Salt Transport Commissioner, and also lost their legitimate son Guo Chengxuan.

Lu Honglang became lame again. Seeing that Lu Yuanjing was becoming more and more disappointed with the Guo family, the Guo family married their second daughter, Guo Yao, to the Prince of Yu's Mansion before the building was completed.

The sisters support each other in name only, but in fact the Guo family wants Guo Yao to give birth to a child and replace Guo Yue as the princess.

As long as the Prince of Yu is still of Guo family blood, it doesn't make much difference to the Guo family whether the Princess of Yu is from the first or second wife.

Guo Yao was indeed aiming to replace Guo Yue.

One month after getting married, Lu Yuanjing spent two-thirds of his time in her room.

The remaining one-third of the time was occupied by Song Jingjing.

As a result, Guo Yue, the main wife, didn't even have the chance to get close to Lu Yuanjing.

How could Guo Yue, who had been proud and arrogant since childhood, swallow this insult? She was determined to teach Guo Yao a lesson and let her know who was the big and small prince in the palace.

But Guo Yao was no pushover either. Relying on her youth, she not only offended Guo Yue, but also embarrassed her several times.

After so many times, everyone in Prince Yu's Mansion knew that the two sisters were incompatible.

Just as Guo Yao was leaving the house, someone came to Guo Yue and reported, "Princess, Concubine Guo withdrew 10,000 taels of silver from her account, saying that she was ordered by the prince to go to Yuyifang to buy hair ornaments."

"Hagoromo?"

Guo Yue slammed the table in anger, "This little bitch was born by her mother but not raised by her. Does she even know what that place is?"

That's Yuibo, which spends money like water.

If the things in Jinxiu Pavilion are worth a fortune, then the things in Yuyifang are priceless.

Just by walking around a few times, you could spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and that's without leaving any account.

That idiot Guo Yao dared to enter Yuyifang with only 10,000 taels. Is there something wrong with her brain?

"What should we do now? Concubine Guo has been out for a long time. She must have arrived at Yuyifang by now. How about we send some silver to her?"

"She's dreaming!"

Guo Yue was so angry that her liver ached.

The Prince of Yu's fiefdom was in the southwest, and most of his shops were also in the southwest.

Living in the capital temporarily during this period of time is a helpless move.

Prices in the capital were high, and there was not much money in the account. If it weren't for the few dowry shops she owned that barely supported the family, the whole family would have starved to death long ago.

But this little bitch Guo Yao not only doesn't understand how hard it is for her to be a housekeeper, but she also dares to spend money lavishly.

What's even worse is that she went to Yuyifang without knowing the consequences. It's really infuriating.

"But if she makes a fool of herself in Yuyifang and it involves the palace, the prince will definitely blame you, the princess."

Guo Yue's figure swayed, and finally he could only grit his teeth and order, "Come here, prepare a car to go to Yuyifang!"

Here, Guo Yao stood in front of Yuyifang's door and looked around.

After a while, she sighed with disdain, "The famous Yuyifang in the capital is not that good."

"I thought it was a grand event, but it turns out it's not even as good as my brother's Hojubo."

As soon as she finished speaking, the ladies who were choosing jewelry at the counter turned their heads one by one and looked at her.

Guo Yao snorted arrogantly, "What are you looking at? I'm not wrong. This Yuyifang is just not that good."

As soon as this was said, someone immediately asked in surprise, "Yuyifang is not doing well? Are you okay?"

"That's right, don't you know that Yuyifang is the most high-end jewelry store in the capital?"

"I've been to that Baozhufang. The decorations are luxurious, but the jewelry inside is old-fashioned and the materials are often diluted. If it weren't for the Guo family's name, I wouldn't even look at it even if it was offered to me."

"This girl just said that the Baozhufang is your brother's. Are you a member of the Guo family?"

Guo Yao stepped over the threshold and proudly introduced herself, "Yes, I am indeed from the Guo family, but my husband is the Prince of Yu."

"It turned out to be Princess Yu!"

When Guo Yao heard that these people actually mistook her for Guo Yue, she immediately became dissatisfied, "I'm not that old woman, I just married into Prince Yu's mansion."

"The Prince of Yu's Mansion did hold a wedding not long ago, but the bride was a concubine."

"Tsk, she's just a concubine~"

After everyone finished speaking, they turned around and continued to choose the jewelry they liked, and no one paid any attention to Guo Yao anymore.

It was as if she was some kind of plague, and saying a few more words to her would bring bad luck.

Guo Yao strode towards the counter with a grim face, but the women seemed to have agreed beforehand and surrounded the counter tightly, leaving no room for her to enter.

Guo Yao angrily cursed, "You are going too far!"

Some rolled their eyes and asked the person next to them, "Are we going too far?"

"I don't think it's too much. It's obviously Concubine Guo who despises Yuyifang's products. We are kind enough to help her, so how can she blame us in return?"

"That's right. If Prince Yu's wife was here, she would definitely not be like this."

"Yes, Princess Yu has always treated people with courtesy, unlike this one, who is just a concubine. She also wants to compete with our main wife for prestige?"

Guo Yao broke down and cursed, "I am a concubine, not a concubine. You ignorant bumpkins, shut up now if you know what's best for you."

The faces of the female relatives darkened and they looked at Guo Yao with icy cold eyes.

Guo Yao was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly and happened to bump into Dan Qiu who came in.
