After serving the princess enough food and drink, Fang Qingqing asked Tong'er to go to Lengyue Pavilion to visit the little civet cat.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Tong'er looks so beautiful today. She's dressed so nicely. Could it be that she's going to meet her childhood sweetheart?"

Bai Lianyi, who was strolling in the palace, saw Tong'er coming towards her and went to greet her with a smile.

Tong'er hurriedly took two steps back and bowed, but was pulled up by Bai Lianyi.

"Get up, do we need so many lousy rules between you and me? Oh, this hairpin is really exquisite, and it looks best on our Tong'er!"

Bai Lianyi bent down and stretched out her hand with a smile, touching the exquisite hairpin on Tong'er's head that was made of gold and inlaid with round pearls, and her mouth became more and more restless.

"Tong'er has been with my second sister-in-law for a long time, and she has become more and more noble like a young lady from a wealthy family! I think Tong'er will become a princess like my second sister-in-law in the future..."

Tong'er's face flushed red, she didn't dare to raise her head, let alone greet him. She held up her skirt with both hands and trotted towards Lengyue Pavilion.

Bai Lianyi's words became more and more out of control. She was just a lowly maid, and it was a blessing for her to be by the side of the princess. How dare she be compared with the princess!

Bai Lianyi's giggling voice came from behind.

"Tong'er, Tong'er, the hot and sour soup you made yesterday was delicious, right? Could you please leave a bowl for me..."

***

Imperial Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation

Li Zhenting specially rushed to the Yangxin Palace to tell the emperor about how he and Fang Qingqing rushed to Zhuozhou yesterday to recruit the killer of Shangsheng Tower.

Upon learning that Fang Qingqing not only successfully recruited a large number of heroes, but also took the initiative to use the captured materials to expand military supplies, the emperor of a country, King Jiajing, couldn't help but give her a thumbs up!

Her courage, boldness and broad-mindedness were unprecedented and unparalleled. Even the king of his country felt inferior to her!

The Shangsheng Building was a notorious place. The Dali Temple had been investigating and dealing with this cancer for many years without success, but she had solved it overnight!

What a great Fang Qingqing! She could heal illnesses, subdue assassins, and even help his Li family reproduce. She was definitely a person who combined beauty and talent! He really couldn't find any flaws in her.

"Ting'er, Qing'er is a rare talent, and now she's pregnant. You must treat her well and don't neglect her. You've led troops to guard the border for many years, so you naturally have a bit of a hard temper. You can use this temper on the Tartars, but never on Qing'er!"

"If I knew Qing'er had been wronged, I would never forgive you!"

Li Zhenting felt a severe headache. His father was now completely on Fang Qingqing's side. The problem was that Fang Qingqing was always asking for a divorce. If she brought this to his father's attention, what would he do?

"Let Nangong Xun attend court tomorrow. The envoy from the Great Desert Kingdom will arrive the day after tomorrow. He's the only one in the entire Great Yan Kingdom who can understand the language of the Great Desert Kingdom. Otherwise, we should really take this opportunity to kill him!"

Prince Jiajing shook his head with a look of displeasure. As the Prince's tutor, he actually did such a thing as petty theft. It was truly a laughing stock! Considering his previous behavior of doting on his wife, abusing his own children, and defrauding Fang Yun of her money, this fellow was a shameless person with a corrupt moral character!

He happened to be a talented person, otherwise he would not have been able to win the top prize in the imperial examination more than ten years ago. If such a person with talent but no moral integrity gained power, it would cause great disaster.

"After Ting'er returns, he will have to explain this matter to Qing'er. After all, Qing'er is determined to hold Nangong Xun accountable. Now that Nangong Xun has been re-employed, I'm afraid Qing'er will be unhappy."

Li Zhenting had no choice but to nod.

He was also puzzled by this. After all, Fang Qingqing was kind and had never said a harsh word to the servants in the palace. Why was she so resolute towards Nangong Xun? Was it simply because Nangong Xun favored her and killed his wife, and because he and Xue Yuping had deliberately praised her to death in the past?

"Father, has Aunt Rong revealed anything?"

Li Zhenting asked in a low voice.

Prince Jiajing shook his head.

"Lv Shufang has been much more cautious recently. Perhaps with the recent frequent incidents, she feels that things are not going well and is no longer daring to act rashly. Rong Mama is an elderly woman brought up by her family, and now that such a serious incident has occurred, she actually does not care about it. She is truly cruel..."

"The Queen has arrived..."

Just as Prince Jiajing was talking to Li Zhenting, a sharp shout was heard. Li Zhenting and Prince Jiajing looked at each other and smiled. He pointed to the study on the side and walked in quickly.

As the saying goes, one never visits a temple without a reason. Ever since Lü Shufang fainted at the banquet with the ministers, she had been staying at home, citing illness as an excuse. The Jiajing Emperor simply issued an order to skip the morning and evening meetings altogether, believing that out of sight, out of mind.

She actually came here on her own initiative, so she must have some ulterior motive.

Prince Jiajing sat upright at the table, reading a book intently in his hands, too lazy to even lift his eyelids.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..."

Lv Shufang, whose face was thin and she was staggering as she walked, was supported by Nanny Yun. She walked carefully step by step to the front of Prince Jiajing, knelt down to pay her respects and kowtowed.

"The Queen is not feeling well. She should just rest. Why force herself to come and see you? I heard from the imperial physician that the Queen has lost her appetite and can't sleep these past few days. I'm afraid her condition has worsened..."

Prince Jiajing glanced up at her, noticing that despite her careful dressing, her face still couldn't hide her haggardness. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was pale and sallow. He knew that she must have had a hard time these days.

Lu Shufang has been suffering a lot recently. She is worried about Yuan Zhen who was imprisoned in the dungeon by Li Zhenting. Wu Yueyue, whom she brought back to Kunning Palace to beat up, was imprisoned on charges of murder. Her confidante Rong Mama was beaten half to death by Wu Yueyue and her life or death is unknown now.

As if it weren't for the rain, the useless son had been impotent for several days!

Originally, she was thinking of putting the matter of Li Huating aside for the time being and making a decision after resolving these difficult issues.

Unexpectedly, this guy secretly asked a so-called folk master to diagnose his illness. After applying medicine, he was worried that the old doctor would spread the matter, so he beat the man to death with a stick and threw him into a mass grave!

But the terrible thing is that the miracle medicine that the old doctor claimed would be effective with just one dose almost cost Li Huating his life!

Not only was he now impotent, but even urinating had become a problem. Every time he urinated, it felt like a sharp knife cutting him, causing him to cry out in pain and wish he could just chop it off! The most experienced imperial physician in the palace, Dr. Song, even examined him, and he said he had never seen anything like it.

"Your Majesty, please ask the divine doctor to help. Ting'er is young and ignorant. He didn't know how to restrain himself after marriage and made a big mistake. But he is the emperor's son after all..."

Prince Jiajing frowned and casually threw the inkstone on the table towards Empress Lu! He usually dotes on her excessively and neglects to discipline her. It's strange that she can become a mature person when she grows up!

Crackling, bang!

The inkstone hit Empress Lu accurately.

The inkstone fell over, and the black ink with an inky smell splashed all over her face and body. The inkstone broke into pieces the moment it hit the ground, and some flew to the back of her hand, cutting her flesh. Suddenly, the red and black liquids mixed into a mess, and she looked miserable.
