Emperor Xuanning turned his head silently, thinking, "How can an old woman be so strong? Li Dequan is in his prime, how can he be so fragile?"

They knew that Jin Shizhao and his son had offended these eunuchs and were working together to punish them. Well, it was because Jin Shizhao and his son were so ruthless that they provoked public outrage.

"If you're injured, just rest for a few days. Oh, and the medical expenses..."

He Daban understood immediately, "I'm keeping track of the accounts. Minister Jin must compensate Young Master Rong for all the precious medicinal herbs he has used these past few days."

Doctor Zhang was speechless. He didn't know whether the medicine was used or how much was used?

He Daban instructed his godson Xiaoji, "You, go with Doctor Zhang to get the medicine."

Emperor Xuanning sat for a while and was about to leave. When he came out of Qifeng Palace, he saw several concubines coming together, and they seemed to have brought gifts.

It was clear what they were here for. Just after the imperial decree was issued to establish Rong Tang as the heir apparent of the Jian'an Earl, all these people came to congratulate him. Apparently, Concubine Rong was the only one in the entire court without spies.

"Let's go!"

Emperor Xuanning had a dull expression; he didn't want to face these women directly.

"Your Majesty, the lotus flowers in Kunning Palace are blooming. Would you like to go and see them?"

Kunning Palace was the Empress's residence. Emperor Xuanning always respected her and would visit her on a daily basis, except for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. However, when he thought of what the Empress had mentioned last time, he became very distressed.

The fourth princess, Zhaohua, was nineteen years old this year. Because she was dissatisfied with her husband's taking a concubine, she beat him to death and the two divorced.

Originally, she was a legitimate princess, and it would not be difficult for her to marry a poor family phoenix, but she fell in love with Zheng Changning, the second son of Prime Minister Zheng. Everyone knew that Prime Minister Zheng's eldest son was a cripple, and he had high hopes for Zheng Changning, so it was impossible for him to marry a princess.

Besides, Zheng's son is so proud, how could he be willing to marry a daughter who has been married twice and be laughed at by other noble families?

Even if the second-married daughter is a princess and the queen is a daughter of a royal family.

"No, there's a lotus pond in the Imperial Garden too. Let's go to the Imperial Garden."

However, when he arrived at the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, he heard a long string of silver bell-like laughter, and he sighed again in his heart.

He Daban looked over and said, "Your Majesty, it's Concubine Xie swinging on the swing. Do you want to come over?"

Under the swing, Concubine Xie was wearing a cool light blue palace dress. She wore no jewelry on her head, only a newly woven garland stuck on the top of her hair. She had a sweet smile on her face, and her whole body exuded bright purity and fairy spirit.

Even after ten years, time has left no trace on her face, and she looks just like a young girl.

Emperor Xuanning's Adam's apple moved slightly, and He Daban knew that Huipin's scheduled sleepover tonight had been moved to Lanyue Palace.

After Empress Rong received the concubines from the palace who came to congratulate her, she learned that His Majesty had already appointed Rong Tang as the Crown Prince of the Earl's Mansion.

She couldn't tell whether she should be happy or disappointed. The good thing was that she finally kicked Jin Yaoyang out, but the bad thing was that he was only the crown prince, not the lord.

Under normal circumstances, he should inherit the title directly, but given the current situation, there may be some complications.

After sending the people away, Nanny You sighed, "Having someone in this natal family is definitely better than having no one at all. As soon as the young master was made Crown Prince, most of the other concubines in the palace came to make friends with him."

Rong Fei said indifferently, "There are always people who don't come."

The Queen is of noble status and does not need to lower herself to others, so naturally it is her turn to curry favor with others.

Concubine Xie is the only one favored by the emperor and doesn't take anyone else seriously.

Some people, on the other hand, think they can become empress dowagers in the future and disdain to bother with people without any background.

Shupin, wait, wait until my Tang'er grows up.

When Jin Shizhao returned to the Minister's residence, he heard more bad news. The housekeeper panicked as soon as he saw him. "Sir, this is bad! The old lady is going to hang herself, and no one can stop her."

Jin Shizhao was horrified and rushed to Songhe Hall in the Bo Mansion. He saw servants in the yard running around like headless flies, but in the main house, one could only hear Old Madam Jin howling, and no one came to persuade her.

When I walked into the house, I saw that his mother had tied the rope and put her head into the noose, looking like she was going to hang herself.

However, she howled for a long time and no one stopped her, and she was not really hung up.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Jin Shizhao was horrified and went forward to hug her. When Mrs. Jin heard her son's voice, she immediately kicked the stool. Before she was hung up, her son hugged her and freed her from the noose.

Old Madam Jin cried, "Son, I can't live any longer! There are so many rumors and foul language out there. How can I face anyone?"

Jin Shizhao was in a state of confusion, and so was he. When he left the palace, the officials, both big and small, looked at him with obscene and strange eyes, as if he were a pornographic book.

These looks were like thorns in my back, and I felt extremely ashamed.

"Mom, why bother taking the gossip of outsiders to heart? They are just baseless things that will fade away after a while."

Old Madam Jin wailed, "I went to deal with that little thief today, but not only was I stopped outside and not allowed in, I was also humiliated and beaten by a jinx who killed three men. I'm too embarrassed to face anyone. I went home and had them beaten. These servants have all rebelled, and none of them obeyed my orders. Son, if you still recognize me as your mother, gather the men for me, smash the gate to Concubine Rong's villa, capture that little thief and kill him to vent my anger."

Jin Shizhao felt a mixture of emotions. The Emperor had already issued an edict appointing Rong Tang as the heir apparent to the Bofu, and his influence was already rising. Wouldn't it be against His Majesty to attack and destroy him at this time? He was afraid that impeachment memorials would be delivered to the palace like snowflakes.

He was confused and distraught. Old Madam Jin was still crying, "The servants are disobedient, and I am also worried. Xiangxiang was broken off her engagement by the Liang family, and she came to me crying and throwing a tantrum, as if I had ruined the marriage. It's a pity that I have been planning day and night for her and Yaoyang's future!"

Jin Shizhao was filled with rage. First of all, of course, he was angry that his subordinates had lost their manners. The old lady was about to hang herself, but no one around her tried to stop her.

Although she wouldn't hang herself even if no one stopped her.

"Butler Wu, where is Butler Tao from the Bo Mansion? With such a big incident, there's no sign of him."

Butler Wu said with a bitter face: "I haven't seen him for a while. I don't know where he went."

Unable to find Steward Tao, Steward Wu had no choice but to step out and scold the servants running around the yard. "You all want to be beaten, right? What a mess! Has anyone seen Steward Tao?"

The servants were silent for a moment, but only for a moment. Someone said timidly, "Butler Wu, you have no right to control us. We are all servants of the Bo Mansion."

"Yes!"

Someone echoed, "Our slave contract is with the Bo Mansion. When the Madam was seriously ill, Concubine Yang held the seal of the household, and we had no choice but to obey her. Now that the true master of the Bo Mansion has returned, we must obey the true master."

Jin Shizhao finally understood why the servants were not doing their work. He panicked and said angrily, "Nonsense! No matter which family it is, whoever holds the seal of the household is the master. You have to obey whoever you receive your monthly salary from. Where is the madam?"

The last question is for Butler Wu.

Butler Wu said awkwardly, "Sir, didn't you lock up the Madam? The Minister's Mansion is now managed by Concubine Hong, but she doesn't know how to manage the household and has made a mess."

Jin Shizhao then remembered that there was more than one trouble in the mansion, and angrily shouted at the servants, "Do your job honestly, or you will be sold out.
