The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

The virtuous concubine thought for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense. This is the only way to do it, otherwise the queen will laugh at her again.

But these sixty thousand taels of silver are not a small sum, it feels unfair for me to spend it!"

The old nanny advised again: "Your Majesty, please don't make this public yet. You can't let anyone else know, but you can call Prince Zhan into the palace and give him a lecture."

The virtuous concubine sighed deeply: "Alas, one wrong step, and the whole game is lost. I was wrong back then."

"Your Highness, you are right. If we hadn't taken that risky move, who knows how arrogant some people would have become.

When her son ascends to that position, he will ride on your head for the rest of his life."

Xian Fei agreed with Madam Li's opinion, "I don't know what's happened to Jin Hong. He just spends his days wandering among the flowers.

I sent Ruoyao over there, hoping she could keep an eye on him.

The saying that a son becomes independent of his mother when he grows up is absolutely true.

The Fourth Prince's wife, Chen Wanqing, is no pushover either. She keeps all the concubines in the mansion under control.

Ruoyao is my niece, and she dare not treat her like other concubines, otherwise I will not forgive her."

"Don't worry, Madam. Our Miss Ruoyao is very good at dealing with people and will not suffer any loss."

"Madam Li, I'm sending you to the Fourth Prince's residence. Follow Ruoyao inside. If there's any disturbance there, you're to report to me."

When Madam Li heard this, she knew that going to the Fourth Prince's residence was not an easy job, so she refused, saying, "Your Majesty, I have been with you for decades and I can't bear to leave you!"

Xian Fei smiled, a glint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes: "Madam Li, you are my wet nurse, and I can't bear to part with you.

Wait until Ruoyao has gained a firm foothold, then you can come back. It’s not like we’ll be separated forever.”

"My lady, I don't want to go. I just want to stay with you."

The virtuous concubine looked indifferent. "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll send Nanny Jin to go in your place."

This is the bird's nest porridge that was just delivered. I'm so angry that I don't even feel like drinking it. It would be a shame to throw it away, so you drink it."

Aunt Li was full of gratitude and bowed:

"Thank you, ma'am!"

She came to the table, picked up the bowl of bird's nest porridge and started drinking.

After she finished drinking, she suddenly felt dizzy, her abdomen ached, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The bowl in her hand fell directly to the ground. She covered her stomach with one hand, her face ferocious: "My queen, why are you trying to harm me? I have never done anything to let you down. You have such a cruel heart!"

The virtuous concubine stood up and snorted coldly, "You know too much. Maybe one day, your secrets will be exposed.

If you confess everything I have done, I will be dead. Only the mouth of a dead person can keep a secret.

I was planning to give you a chance to live and send you to the Fourth Prince's residence, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful that you wouldn't even listen to me. You're courting your own death."

Nanny Li pointed at Concubine Xian with one hand and pinched her throat with the other.

At this moment, she couldn't utter a word and fell to the ground with a thud.

Xian Fei looked at her and said, "Madam Li, don't blame me for being ruthless. I can't help it. You know too much. I don't want to die in your hands.

Don't worry, I will give your family enough money to ensure they have enough food and clothing. You can leave now without any worries."

She shouted, "Someone come!"

Her personal maids Xianglian and Hongye walked in. They saw Madam Li lying on the ground and were shocked, "Madam!"

Xian Fei said calmly, "Madame Li died of a sudden heart attack and was buried.

She has been with me for decades. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. Give her a good burial and give the Li family two hundred taels of silver."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

The two of them carried Nanny Li out, and another palace maid came in to clean the floor.

The virtuous concubine was still furious. Sixty thousand taels of silver were gone just like that, and that was what she had saved with great difficulty.

She didn't want to stay in the hall and wanted to go for a walk outside.

The next morning, the chief eunuch Qin Wuyi came to Prince Zhan's mansion with the imperial edict.

Leng Jiuyuan and his men knelt in the courtyard to receive the imperial edict. Qin Wuyi read, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Ye Qingyan, the daughter of the Prince of Zhennan, is of virtuous character, prudent and prudent, possessing the ambition of gentleness and the beauty of peace and righteousness. She is hereby granted marriage to the Prince of War, Leng Jiuyuan, as his principal wife."

After Ye Qingyan reaches the age of 15, they will choose an auspicious day for the wedding.

Admire this! "

Qin Wuyi rolled up the imperial edict and said, "Your Majesty, please accept it quickly."

"No!" Leng Jiuyuan looked angry.

Qin Wuyi advised: "My prince, please be more open-minded. If you don't accept the order, you will be disobeying it, which is a serious crime.

After all, she is just a woman who comes into the mansion. If you don't like her, you can just throw her in the backyard and ignore her. It will just be one more person to eat in the mansion.

Why should we ruin the relationship with the emperor over such a trivial matter?

The Emperor has carefully chosen this marriage, so you must not offend him."

Leng Jiuyuan was as angry as he could be, the old man just couldn't stand seeing him suffer.

The Seventh Prince Leng Xingbei advised from the side: "Ninth brother, you must accept the imperial edict."

After saying that, he took the imperial edict and handed it to Leng Jiuyuan.

Qin Wuyi nodded and said, "I have finished reading the imperial edict. I will take my leave."

Leng Jiuyuan ignored Qin Wuyi. Leng Xingbei said, "Goodbye, Chief Steward Qin."

Leng Jiuyuan stood up and returned to the study in a rage, followed closely by Leng Xingbei.

There was no one else in the study except the two brothers. Leng Xingbei advised, "Ninth brother, why are you doing this? The old man has granted me the marriage, so you have to accept it.

He is the king and you are the subject. If the king orders the subject to die, the subject must die.

He has been looking for faults in you, so you must not let him catch you.

Sometimes I just don’t understand why the old man treats you like that. Isn’t he your biological father? "

Leng Jiuyuan was still angry: "Shut up now. He can't stand seeing me doing well and is afraid that I will take his throne."

Leng Xingbei was quite puzzled: "Ye Qingyan from the Zhennan Palace, how come I have never heard of this person?"

Leng Jiuyuan said: "She was called the star of fate. She was sent to the countryside and became an abandoned child a few days after she was born. My father sent her to defeat me.

It’s still unclear who will kill whom. I’ll kill her before she even enters the house!

Even if she is allowed to enter the palace, she will not live to see the next day. I will order someone to prepare the coffin first."

Leng Xingbei sighed: "Ninth brother, what are your plans?"

"I don't plan to stay in the mansion. I won't live more than three years. I want to go out and travel. It will be worth it even if I die."

"Don't think too much. Brother Qi will help you find a famous doctor. Your illness will definitely be cured."

Leng Jiuyuan smiled and said: "The old man is relieved when I am sick, and he is happy when I die.

What have the other guys been up to lately?"

The Seventh Prince replied, "The Third and Fourth Princes have begun to win over important officials in the court."

Leng Jiuyuan said coldly: “The old man will know about this action.

He was smart all his life but confused for a moment. He was on guard against me day and night, but I was not interested in the throne at all.

He guarded the wrong guy and created an opportunity for someone else."

"Then what should we do?" Leng Xingbei asked.

"We'll wait and see. When they make enough noise, we'll let the old man know."

"..."

…………

The next day, Ye Qingyan was strolling in front of the mountain gate when the waiter from the clinic came to find her.

She said that a girl with broken legs came to the clinic and was waiting for her treatment.
