The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

The more Concubine Lin thought about it, the more desperate she became. With her mouth blocked, she didn't dare to act rashly in Yiku Palace and could only sob quietly.

Xiang Huayue slept very restlessly because she was worried about her daughter. She could hear every little sound clearly.

"Chun Chan, Chun Chan, but Chong Yue is crying?"

Xiang Huayue was awakened by the crying, and the first thing she did was to check on her daughter.

When Chun Chan saw that the empress had woken up, he immediately took his clothes and put them on her.

"In reply to your Majesty, Princess Chongyue's fever has subsided and she is still sleeping. As soon as the Emperor left this morning, Chunxiang came to see the princess and she is much better now."

"The sound of crying comes from Concubine Lin, who is kneeling outside the palace. The Emperor had her tied up and brought to the Yikun Palace early this morning, saying that the murderer who murdered the princess has been apprehended and will be dealt with by Your Majesty."

Xiang Huayue looked at her daughter sleeping soundly in the cradle. She didn't look as weak as she did yesterday, and her heart finally settled down a little.

Leaning on Chongyue's small bed, holding up his head, he took a long time to calm down before speaking to Chunchan:

"I want to see my mother, please go and ask her."

Chun Chan took the order and retreated. He leaned against Hua Yue on the bed and slowly reached out to grab Chong Yue's soft little hand.

Her daughter, who was once as lovely as white jade, had lost a lot of weight after the disaster yesterday, and her fingers had become slender.

"Don't be afraid, Chongyue. Mother is here. Mother will never let anyone bully you again."

Liang Chongyue was upset by the waves of crying. She almost died last night. Those who didn't know her would think she was dead and were mourning for her.

When he woke up after being unable to bear it any longer, he saw his mother holding his hand with a haggard face and whispering to him.

"Yue'er! Why don't you put on your clothes before getting out of bed? Chongyue still relies on you as her mother. You must take care of yourself even for Chongyue's sake."

Liang Chongyue was just about to move her little hands to respond to her mother and comfort her when she heard her grandmother's anxious voice coming from the palace door.

Now that my grandmother is here, she doesn't have to do anything, which saves some energy.

From yesterday until now, all she had in her stomach was the bowl of bitter medicine from last night, which should have been digested by now.

Every time she moved, her internal organs cried out for hunger. If she wasn't poisoned, she would starve to death first.

She is just a child now, help!

Fortunately, as soon as she made a little noise, her grandmother immediately asked the new wet nurse to take her down and feed her.

After finally drinking breast milk, Liang Chongyue felt something in her stomach, and the clamor from her internal organs quieted down a lot.

While drinking milk, Chunxiang stared at him without blinking.

As soon as she finished drinking milk, Chunxiang took her to her mother.

She almost lost her life yesterday, so it's normal for her to be more alert now.

My mother dismissed the attendants and left only Chunchan and Chunxiang to serve her, and only Mother Liu was left at my grandmother's place.

The sobbing sound of Concubine Lin stopped. It must be that her mother told her to shut up.

"The Dugu clan is powerful, and even a single move could affect the entire clan. The Emperor has now casually thrown Concubine Lin in to take the blame. How will Yue'er deal with this?"

Princess Gaoyang felt distressed when she saw Chongyue, whose face had become thinner.

"Take the blame? She didn't know people well enough to keep trouble around. If Chongyue gets into trouble, she can't be considered innocent."

Xiang Huayue frowned, suppressing the rage in her heart.

"Chun Chan, have one of her eyes gouged out and sent to Lin Shoucai. Also, teach him how to judge people. The border war is tense, and floods are severe in Jiangnan. Tell Lin Shoucai that whether his only daughter can survive in the palace depends entirely on his patriotism."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After Chun Chan received the order and retreated, he stepped back with a bit of ruthlessness as he passed by the Fifth Princess's bed.

"Your Majesty, Lady Lin is the child of Lin Shoucai's deceased wife. Lin Shoucai remarried a long time ago. She may not be able to contribute to the general's war at the border."

When Chunxiang thought about how precious the Fifth Princess was, how her body had been damaged so badly while she was still in her infancy, she felt that the Empress had spared her life, which was truly a kind heart.

Although she fought her way up from the Iron Blood Camp, she has been by the Empress' side for so many years. The Empress is her king, her master, and her reborn parent.

If she were allowed to come, not only would Concubine Lin have to endure all 108 tortures of the Iron Blood Camp, but the Empress Dowager, the Queen, and even the old thief Prime Minister would all deserve to die.

Xiang Huayue knew what Chunxiang was thinking without having to look any further.

"She is just a pawn before the war. If I don't want her life, there are many people who want to silence her."

"This palace loves and respects the emperor. Although Lin Shoucai is not a high-ranking official, he is also a court official appointed by the emperor. This palace has paved the way for him. If he refuses, the emperor will naturally deal with it."

She wanted everyone to know that no one who worked for the Dugu family would have a good ending.

She would keep her hands to personally kill the murderer who hurt Chongyue.

"Your Majesty, Chun Chan, the personal attendant of the Imperial Concubine Chen, dug out one of Lady Lin's eyes and sent her to the Lin family."

In Kunning Palace, Dongmei hurried in, waved away the palace maids, and whispered the news she had just learned to the queen.

"What did you say? Ahem, Xiang Huayue didn't kill anyone directly?"

The weather was getting colder, and the queen's health remained poor. She had to force herself to get up early every day, relying entirely on medicine and heavy makeup to maintain her outward appearance.

Dongmei knew that the Queen was worried, but when she met her haggard eyes, she could only nod helplessly.

With a snap, the queen's hand slipped and dropped the small white jade bottle used for refreshing.

"The Empress Dowager started planning this two months ago. A child that young will definitely not survive. If the Emperor investigates further, it might even implicate me. Then my Chongzhen and Zhirou..."

When the queen mentioned her two children who still had to apply medicine every day, she was heartbroken.

If a prince has a disfigured face, he cannot succeed to the throne, let alone a princess. Losing one's appearance is a loss of virtue.

It’s all because of that useless Lady Yang. If she wasn’t so incompetent, Hua Yue and her child would have suffered all this!

The Queen's armor was so angry that it left purple marks on her palms, but she was completely unaware of it.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. You are the biological mother of the prince and princess, and the Queen Mother of Daxia. You also have the extremely powerful maternal family backing you up. This was done by the Queen Mother and Pure Beauty. What has your Majesty got to do with it?"

Dongmei swiftly picked up the small white jade bottle on the ground, placed it aside, and comforted the queen.

"Besides, the Emperor has already sent Concubine Lin to vent his anger on the Imperial Noble Concubine Chen, so he probably won't delve into this matter further."

The queen calmed down and thought for a moment, and felt that Dongmei's words made some sense.

"You're right. Filial piety is paramount in Daxia. Even if the Emperor knew it was the Queen Mother who did it, he couldn't do anything to her. My maternal family is the Prince of Qi's Mansion, and I'm the Queen. Even if the truth comes out, my father will definitely choose me."

The more the queen thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and she felt a lot more at ease.

Looking at the small white jade bottle on the table, he suddenly thought of someone, and a trace of ferocity flashed across his originally handsome and elegant face.
