She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

These days, Concubine Shu has been feeling uneasy.

Years ago, she received news that Doctor Gu had suddenly disappeared.

The Gu family searched everywhere for people, reported the matter to the authorities, and even passed the news to her.

She was very worried that her elder brother had discovered something and kidnapped the person and hid him.

After her eldest nephew woke up, she didn't dare to talk to her eldest brother because she felt guilty.

More than twenty days have passed, and there is still no news from Doctor Gu.

Yesterday I suddenly heard that Doctor Gu was sent to the Ministry of Justice.

The third prince is already eighteen years old. He moved out of the palace and set up his own residence years ago to prepare for his wedding.

She has already chosen a princess consort for her son.

She wanted to discuss it with the Third Emperor, but when she thought about what she had done, she realized that the Third Emperor didn't know.

It’s better not to let him know.

She has been feeling uneasy since yesterday.

"Empress Shufei, Prince Rong requests to see you." The head palace maid Baozhu walked gently to the three steps away from Concubine Shu and stopped to report.

"What?" Concubine Shu was so shocked that she jumped up from the couch.

"It was brought by Eunuch Yang who serves the emperor." Baozhu looked at her master with care and said.

Now that everyone is outside the hall, it is impossible for her not to see them.

Prince Rong's status was much higher than hers as a concubine, so she didn't dare to refuse.

"Please let him in." Concubine Wan Shu calmed herself down before giving the order.

The prince strode in.

"Why is big brother here?" Concubine Shu didn't dare to act like a concubine in front of the prince.

The prince said nothing, just waved his hand.

The young eunuch who came in with him retreated obediently.

When Concubine Shu saw this, she knew that her elder brother had come with bad intentions, and she sent the palace servants out.

She didn't want the two of them to have an unpleasant argument and have the whole palace know about it.

The prince walked up to Concubine Wan Shu with a gloomy face and slapped her in the face.

The beating made Concubine Wan Shu stagger and fall to the ground.

"Brother, you..." Concubine Wan Shu covered her pretty face and looked up at the prince in horror.

"Why do you want to harm Ziqi?" the prince asked bluntly, his face so gloomy that it could scare a child to tears.

When Concubine Shu heard this, she knew that her elder brother already knew what she had done.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. How could I harm Ziqi? He is my nephew." She still wanted to make a dying struggle.

I endured the pain and slowly got up from the ground.

"Hmph!" The prince slammed the confession written by Doctor Gu directly in front of her.

Concubine Shu picked it up and glanced at it quickly.

"Brother, I am innocent. Doctor Gu must have been instigated by someone to destroy our brother-sister relationship." She still wanted to argue.

"He has no grudge against me, so why would he want to harm my son?"

"How do I know why he wants to harm Ziqi?"

"You don't admit it, right? Tomorrow I will write a letter to the emperor. Canglan is ready to make a move on the northern border of Wei. We need a prince to take charge to keep Wei safe. The third prince is the most suitable candidate." The prince threatened her with her weakness.

"No, brother, you can't do this. Shen'er is also your nephew." Concubine Shu was anxious.

Prince Rong's words, although not absolutely binding, are not much different.

As long as the eldest brother says it, the emperor will definitely agree.

"Ziqi is also your nephew, how could you have the heart to do that to him?" The prince asked back with the same words.

"Wuwu..., big brother, I am your biological sister, why don't you think about me?

I clearly come from the most powerful Rongwang Mansion in the Wei Dynasty, but you just ignore me and let me struggle to survive in this harem.

If you had just given me a little support, I wouldn't be just a concubine.

I deserve the position of queen.

Now, the Queen is above me, and the Imperial Concubine is above me.

If I were the queen, my son would be the legitimate son and would be named the crown prince.

But now, I am just a concubine.

The second prince born to the imperial concubine is still in front.

If the emperor had delayed appointing a crown prince, the seventh prince would have grown up by then.

What hope is there for my prince?

After the eldest prince was deposed, I talked to Ziqi and asked him to get closer to the third prince, and it would be best if he could become the third prince's study companion.

What did he say? He said the Third Prince was not worthy of him as a study partner.

How could a nephew like this support my son?

But Zishu was different. I asked him to get closer to the Third Prince, and he obediently stood on the Third Prince's side in everything.

He also played with the Third Prince from time to time, went out of town to hunt together, and helped the Third Prince with some things.

If he becomes the Crown Prince, the Third Prince will have more helpers in the future."

At first, Concubine Shu was crying and complaining to the prince, but she became more and more angry as she spoke.

"So you bribed Nanny Zheng from the Princess's Court to drug him at the hunting grounds, then orchestrated his fall from his horse. You also sent Imperial Physician Gu to treat Ziqi, hoping he wouldn't wake up. Since Zishu will be the Crown Prince in the future, will he be able to help you and the Third Prince?"

"No, I didn't bribe Madam Zheng. I didn't arrange for Ziqi to fall from his horse. I simply took advantage of his unconsciousness. I can swear on our father that I did not do this."

She refused to admit anything that Concubine Wan Shu had not done.

After hearing this, the prince frowned and stared at her, trying to tell the truth from her expression.

I just can't see anything.

"I just want Zishu to be named the Prince of Rong Palace. I don't want to kill Ziqi, I just want him to not wake up.

You and the Emperor have a harmonious relationship. If the Third Prince inherits the throne, and Zishu helps him as you do, the entire Wei will naturally be stable and united. I am also thinking about the Wei."

Concubine Wan Shu added, and she did so with great righteousness.

"Hmph, don't you want to be the most noble woman in the world?" The prince sneered.

"Why can't I be the most noble woman in the world?" Concubine Wan Shu asked back unconvinced.

"I'm telling you, my Rong Palace will never interfere with who the Emperor chooses to appoint as the Crown Prince.

If the third prince has the ability, he should show it to his father and to the people of the world.

If he can ascend to the throne, my Rong Wangfu will naturally assist him. If he doesn't have that ability, then he will just be a prince.

If Zishu dares to get close to the Third Prince again, I will break his legs. I will keep my word."

"You....., big brother, I am your biological sister, why do you treat me like this?"

"From the beginning, I didn't approve of you entering the palace, but you and the Second Old Madam insisted on having you enter.

Do you think that just because you come from Prince Rong’s Mansion, the emperor will look upon you with respect?

You are a concubine's daughter, and you still want to be the queen?

The emperor has already given you a lot of face by allowing you to become a concubine, and he is also giving me face for my Shangguan family.

The royal family always chooses a crown prince who is both virtuous and talented, capable of governing the country, and who puts the country and the people first.

Look at the third prince again. Apart from some cleverness, where is the demeanor of a prince?

I actually listened to a woman like you and found a doctor and brought him into my Prince Rong's mansion to harm Ziqi.

Just based on his actions, he doesn't have the ambition to be an emperor."

The prince criticized the third prince for everything.

Concubine Wan Shu was so angry that she pointed at the prince and said, "You, you..., you are not my eldest brother."

She could only manage this sentence and couldn't find anything else to say.

"I am the eldest son of the Shangguan family, and now the Prince Rong.

If you don't behave yourself, you will suffer in the future. This is all I have to say. You'd better take care of yourself.

I will not care what happens to you and your son in the future. I will report the Rong Palace's attitude directly to the Emperor.

If you dare to do anything that offends the Shangguan family again, I will not mind opening the ancestral temple and expelling you from the family. Then you will no longer be a daughter of the Shangguan family, and we will see how you can survive in this harem."

"Wuwu..., big brother, no. Big brother, I was wrong." Concubine Wan Shu was frightened when she heard that the prince wanted to remove her from the family tree.

If her elder brother really did this, she would have no place in the harem.

Who in the harem doesn't care about status? In addition to the status in the palace, the status of the mother's family is also important. Both are indispensable.

"That's all I have to say. You can take care of yourself." The prince flicked his sleeves and strode away.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw the emperor looking at him with a smile.

The prince, a martial artist, had known that there was someone at the door and knew who it was right away. However, he was a man of integrity and did not care if the emperor heard it.

He just bowed to the emperor and walked away from him.

When Concubine Shu, who had followed the prince, saw the emperor standing outside the door, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
