The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Yesterday was the prince's twentieth birthday, which should have been a matter of life and death. However, surprisingly, instead of meeting with any misfortune, the prince was radiant and in high spirits, looking very energetic.

"Your Majesty, the fate of the Crown Prince, the Seven Evils and Loneliness, has been broken!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor could not contain his joy and asked quickly: "Oh? Could this be related to Miss Wen?" You know, among the many princes, the crown prince and the second prince are the most outstanding.

In comparison, although the second prince is also quite outstanding, the crown prince is more kind and generous.

The Imperial Master nodded slightly and responded in a low voice: "According to what I have seen, this seems to be the case at present." Having said that, his heart was full of doubts.

After all, Miss Wen was a person with a peculiar fate, and her destiny line was unclear and difficult to discern.

And now, it is really puzzling that such a person who cannot even see his own fate can successfully crack the extremely dangerous Seven Evils Lonely Fate of the Prince.

In order to find out the reason, the national teacher even went to the library in person yesterday and read several extremely precious ancient books.

Unfortunately, even after turning to the last page, the key parts recording the solution were still in tatters, so he was never able to find the solution.

At this moment, seeing that the prince was safe and sound and his fate had been broken, the emperor could not help but be delighted and said loudly: "Haha, this is very good! It seems that this marriage is really the right choice. Master Imperial Master, you have worked hard, and there is a reward!"

Faced with the emperor's reward, the imperial teacher respectfully lowered his eyes, thanked him and accepted the reward, but his face was as calm as water, making it difficult to guess his true emotions.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the bedroom where Concubine Jing lived was extremely solemn, because a shocking news had just reached here - the prince had miraculously lived to see his twenties!

When she heard the news, Concubine Jing's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and anger seemed to be bursting out of them.

She gnashed her teeth and questioned, "What? The prince's fate of seven evil spirits and loneliness was broken? How is this possible?"

Seeing this, the Imperial Master beside him frowned slightly and said softly, "My Lady, please calm down first."

However, Concubine Jing would not listen to her. She shouted angrily, "Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down? I have been waiting for the Crown Prince to die so that the throne can naturally fall to my son."

"But what about now? He is still alive and well. What should the Fourth Prince do? Do we have to continue to wait endlessly?"

The Imperial Master was not in a hurry. He raised his lips and said slowly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It may not be a bad thing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing was stunned at first, but then her extremely intelligent mind began to work rapidly.

After a moment, she seemed to have figured out the key point, and her expression gradually relaxed.

At first, her face was filled with pride, as if everything was under control.

However, her expression changed drastically in a flash, and her originally relaxed brows were tightly furrowed together.

"But now he is still the prince, and his fate of being alone and doomed to fail has been changed. What should we do next?" She said worriedly, her tone full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Hearing this, the national teacher narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were deep and mysterious.

After a moment's silence, he slowly said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. You just need to know that you must not act recklessly before my major plan is completed. Also, about the third princess..." Having said this, the national teacher paused for a moment, as if he was choosing his words.

Then he continued, "It's about time that the people around her and the many issues involved calm down."

Hearing this, Concubine Jing was startled and a trace of panic unconsciously flashed in her eyes.

She didn't even dare to raise her head to look at the Imperial Master's face. She could only lower her eyes and respond in a humble and slightly fearful manner: "Yes, I understand." There was also a hint of respect in her words.

Seeing Concubine Jing being so obedient, the Imperial Master showed a look of satisfaction, nodded and said, "Well, I'm glad you understand."

.........

At the same time, Xue Jinhua followed the prince to pay a visit to the Queen.

When they arrived at their destination, they saw the Queen sitting on the Phoenix Chair. She had a beautiful face and an elegant and luxurious temperament.

At this moment, the Queen Mother looked very happy. She reached out her hand and held the Prince's hand with a smile on her face, and talked to him cordially for a while.

Xue Jinhua stood quietly at one side, her eyes fixed on the person who was talking, listening carefully to the deep meaning in her words.

It was not difficult to detect from his words that the core point expressed by the other party was to accuse himself of lacking the proper care and attention for his son on weekdays, as if he wanted to use today's meeting as an opportunity to make up for all the care that was lacking in the past.

However, only Xue Jinhua herself knew that the queen in front of her was not Ling Yan's biological mother at all.

The Queen once viewed Ling Yan as just a chess piece that could be manipulated at will. As for how much sincerity this sudden so-called concern has, it is really hard to guess.

All I heard was the Queen's soft voice full of emotion: "I remember when you were still a child, you loved to snuggle in your mother's arms, pout and whisper. Who would have thought that time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye you have already married. Time really flies by!"

Facing the Queen's seemingly affectionate recollections, the Crown Prince had a cold and expressionless face and responded: "My childhood memories are already vague to me. I never expected that my mother would still remember them. If so, I am being unfilial."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Queen's face stiffened instantly, but she was obviously accustomed to this kind of situation and did not show too much surprise or anger.

The Queen seemed to be completely unaware of this and continued to chat with the Crown Prince on various topics. She even intentionally or unintentionally ignored Xue Jinhua beside her, as if she wanted to give her the cold shoulder.

However, Xue Jinhua knew it clearly in her heart, so she always maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude. She did not show displeasure for being ignored, nor did she deliberately try to please others.

Half an incense stick of time had passed when Ling Yan saw that the Queen was still cold towards Xue Jinhua, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

He frowned slightly and said, "Mother, I still have some matters to deal with in my mansion."

However, the queen pretended not to hear anything and responded in a confused manner: "My child, every prince will have a few days to rest after getting married."

"What is so important in your mansion? Is it more important than accompanying your mother?"

Ling Yan knew very well that the Queen's action was clearly intentional.

At that moment, he simply stopped hiding his emotions and said with a serious face, "Just now, my father specifically told me that there is something important to do."

"Even if I can't go there in person, I still need to properly arrange the relevant matters and pass on instructions."

Hearing this, the Queen hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding and saying, "Since this is what your father has instructed you to do, Ling Yan, you should go and handle it as soon as possible."

"Then it would be fine if you leave the Crown Princess here to chat with me."

Ling Yan lowered his eyes upon hearing this, quietly hiding the barely noticeable disgust in his eyes.

Then, he replied in a firm tone: "Mother, I came here with the Crown Princess to pay my respects to you today, so we should return to the mansion together."

"If I leave the Crown Princess here and ignore her... won't she become a laughing stock for others to talk about? How can I not be ridiculed in the future?"

Seeing his firm attitude, the queen knew in her heart that this was not the best time to confront him head-on or forcefully.

So, she adjusted her mood a little, smiled and said, "Look, kid, your mother was just joking with you, why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Look at you, you have simply forgotten your mother now that you have a wife." The queen pretended to be angry and sighed while shaking her head gently.

"Oh, forget it. Mother knows that she can't keep you. She originally wanted to spend more time with her daughter-in-law and enhance the deep friendship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Now it seems that this beautiful wish is going to be shattered."

After that, the Queen reluctantly stretched out her hand, slowly took off a bracelet from her wrist, and then put it into Xue Jinhua's fair and tender hand, and earnestly instructed: "In the future, you two must love and care for each other, and live a happy life in harmony. I am looking forward to holding a big fat grandson in my arms soon."

When Xue Jinhua heard this, she lowered her head slightly and pretended to be extremely shy.

However, when her eyes fell on the bracelet in her hand, there was no trace of joy in her eyes, but instead an indescribable complex expression.

Because she could see that this was not the bracelet that the queen often wore.

It can be seen that she was replaced temporarily.

Ling Yan seemed indifferent. After saying a few words, he took Xue Jinhua away.

The queen stood at the palace gate, her eyes closely following the two figures walking away until they completely disappeared from her sight.

At this moment, the amiable smile that had been hanging on the queen's mouth and cheeks disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a gloomy and solemn look.

"Mammy, is what you just said really true?" the queen asked in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Not long after, the curtain was gently lifted and an old maid walked out from behind.

She staggered to the Queen, fell to her knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "My Queen, how dare I tell you a lie? This morning, when I went to clean the Crown Princess's bedroom, I definitely didn't see the blood."

At this point, the old maid paused for a moment, and then continued, "At first, I also had some doubts in my heart, fearing that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were careless during their intercourse and failed to stain the silk with their virgin blood."

"I even ordered my servants to carefully check the entire bed, but in the end, they found nothing."

Hearing this, the queen couldn't help but frown.

You know, if a woman does not have blood on her wedding night, it means she has lost her virginity before marriage.

In this case, isn't this dignified Crown Princess just a slut?

And her own prince actually married such an unclean person? Thinking of this, the queen felt a surge of anger in her heart.

However, the queen quickly suppressed her anger.

After all, she knew very well that the prince had successfully broken the situation of the Seven Evils' lonely life.

If this young lady from the Wen family could abide by the rules and observe the virtues of a woman, then perhaps she could be tolerated to sit on the position of Crown Princess.

However, it has come to this...

She has behaved badly and now she has done such a shameful thing. No matter what, she must not be allowed to sit on the position of Crown Princess, otherwise, wouldn't she be laughed at and become a laughing stock of the world?

"Forget it, I already know about this matter, you can leave first."

After the nanny bowed and slowly left, the queen sat alone on the couch, frowning and falling into deep thought.

At this time, Qiu Shuang, the trusted maidservant who had been serving the Queen, said softly, "Queen, the relationship between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally eased. In my opinion, the Crown Prince values ​​the Crown Princess very much. If we investigate this matter now, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be dissatisfied and disgusted."

The queen's face became even gloomier when she heard this, and she said indignantly, "Are we just going to watch the crown prince being deceived by the crown princess like this? I really can't bear this."

Qiu Shuang hurriedly comforted her, "Your Majesty, please calm down. In my opinion, we might as well try a more clever way to deal with this matter. This will achieve our goal without angering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why not do it?"

The queen frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and asked, "Oh? Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

"She is currently in the Crown Prince's residence. Even if I want to punish her, I have no other options."

Qiu Shuang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then she leaned close to the queen's ear and whispered a few words.

After the queen heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up with a hint of surprise. She nodded and praised, "Well, this is a great plan! Let's do as you said."

Xue Jinhua thought to herself that based on her understanding of the Queen, she would never let her go so easily.

As expected, just as the two of them walked to the door, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away, followed by a loud shout: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Xue Jinhua and the people around him were all shocked and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

All I heard was the eunuch who announced the decree read out loudly: "The emperor is seriously ill and unconscious, and I have specially summoned ladies of the second rank and above to come to the palace to take care of him."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but frown.

According to convention, if the emperor was seriously ill, the wives of court officials did need to enter the palace to take care of him.

However, in reality, taking care of the emperor when he is sick is not a particularly difficult task. After all, there are many concubines and eunuchs in the palace who take care of the emperor's daily life.

After entering the palace, these ladies actually didn't play any role.

Come to think of it, perhaps the only purpose of them entering the palace is to contain those powerful ministers...

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua's heart sank. It seemed that the emperor's condition was more serious than he had imagined.

But, he was clearly fine when I saw the emperor today, how come he fell ill in the blink of an eye?

Ling Yan, who was standing by, had obviously noticed something was wrong. He said with a gloomy face, "This is simply nonsense! Even if someone really needs to take care of the sick, it should be the Queen Mother. How could it be the Crown Princess' turn?"

The eunuch who delivered the decree hurriedly said with a smile, "Your Highness, please calm down. The Queen is also seriously ill and cannot be with us any more. That is why we have no choice but to ask all the ladies to come to the palace to help. I hope Your Highness will understand."

What?

Xue Jinhua's eyes widened in astonishment. It was unbelievable that the Queen was also ill? How could this be possible? She fell ill right after she left? There must be some hidden reason behind this.

Ling Yan on the side seemed to want to refuse, but Xue Jinhua hurriedly said, "Father is seriously ill now. As his daughter-in-law, I should serve him by his side and show my filial piety to him. This is only natural." She spoke sincerely and with a firm tone.

Then, Xue Jinhua turned to look at the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict, and explained with a smile: "My lord, I am really sorry. The prince and I just came back. Please wait for a moment while we go in and clean up."

When the eunuch saw this, he knew that she had agreed to go, and his mission was successfully completed.

He couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

So what does this little request mean?

So he nodded quickly and said, "Of course, of course."

"Princess Consort, please take your time to pack. You can set off when you are ready. Your servants and the carriage will be waiting here." After saying this, he respectfully stepped aside.
