She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Your Majesty? I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Concubine Wan Shu was so frightened that she was trembling with fear. She couldn't even stand steadily when she saluted.

The emperor just looked at the squatting Concubine Shu.

This woman is really just as Prince Rong described.

He did promote her to the position of Concubine Shu out of consideration for the palace's reputation and because she gave birth to a prince.

I didn't expect that it would fuel her ambition.

There's nothing wrong with being ambitious, but she even dared to plot against and harm her own family.

Prince Rong only warned her verbally, but he showed her some mercy because they were his father.

It was also a favor to him as the emperor.

On the surface, this is the family affair of Prince Rong's Mansion, but it is also his family affair. The women in his harem are so vicious that he has to think more about it.

"Besides your own nephew, who else have you harmed?" Emperor Qiming asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, I have never harmed anyone. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong." Concubine Shu knelt down directly.

"Wanrou, I have honored and favored you because you gave me a prince, but you have become so ignorant that you have even taught my prince bad things. You are no longer worthy of your position. From today on, you will move out of this Chaoxia Palace and be demoted to Wanpin. If you still don't know what is good for you, the next step will be to be sent to the cold palace." The emperor left these words and walked away.

Eunuch Hai will supervise her move according to his wishes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong." Concubine Wan Shu, no, it should be called Concubine Wan now, cried and begged for mercy from the emperor who was leaving.

But the emperor didn't even turn his head and went to the queen's palace.

Still, those two little guys are the ones he likes the most.

Cute and naughty, especially the seventh child, who always makes him laugh.

The news that Shangguan Wanrou was demoted to a concubine spread throughout the harem as the prince left the palace, and then spread out of the imperial palace.

When the prince returned to the palace and heard this, he was not surprised at all.

The reason why he just quarreled with his sister and did not take any substantive measures was that he anticipated that the emperor would not remain indifferent.

This is the effect he wants.

When the second lady and the second master heard the news, they were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.

Then the second wife and her son came together to find the prince.

"Brother, why did the emperor demote my sister to a concubine? You have to talk to the emperor about this. My sister has been a concubine for so many years, and the emperor has never said that she has done anything wrong. Why did he suddenly say that she is unworthy of the position?" The second master yelled angrily.

"Yes, Your Highness, Wanrou is your biological sister, you have to help her. You should go and plead with the Emperor. Whatever Wanrou did wrong, she can change. If her status is lowered, how will you let the Third Prince cope? He is about to get married." The Second Old Lady was no longer as arrogant as before, and advised earnestly.

Concubine Wan is her greatest pride. If her daughter's position in the palace is lost, she will have no face to go out. How can she still order people around in the palace?

"The emperor said that she is not worthy of her position, and that is it. The emperor has spoken, and I am just a minister." The prince said indifferently.

The implication is that no one can change the emperor's decision.

"Brother, why did the Emperor demote my sister?"

"She actually dared to harm Ziqi. How could such a woman be worthy of being a concubine? The Emperor only demoted her to a concubine, which was already a great favor."

"What did you say? How could my sister harm Ziqi?" The second master pretended to be surprised and acted very genuinely, making it impossible to tell that he was being fake.

"Hmph, she bribed Doctor Gu and murdered Ziqi. I haven't held you accountable for this yet. Are you also involved?" The prince suddenly asked sternly.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we be involved in this?" The second master immediately denied it.

"It's best if you didn't participate. If I find out that you were involved, I will never forgive you."

"Don't worry, big brother. We are absolutely not involved in this. Big brother, why did my sister want to harm Ziqi?" The second master asked knowingly.

"If you want to know, go to the palace and ask her directly."

"But, brother..."

"There's no buts. I only take care of government and military affairs." The prince interrupted what the second master was about to say.

He knew exactly what his second brother and his mother were thinking.

A mother is honored by her daughter, and a brother is honored by his sister.

The two had no choice but to leave in shame.

The third wife and her son were also discussing this matter.

"Mother, the prince has learned the whole story from Doctor Gu." The third master was a little annoyed.

That sword didn't actually take Doctor Gu's life.

Yesterday, Imperial Physician Gu was sent to the Ministry of Justice, and he was the first to get the news.

I didn’t expect that even with such serious injuries, the prince could still find someone to save him.

When did such a great doctor appear in Beijing?

"Well, did you leave any clues when you did it?" The third old lady didn't expect things to develop like this and get out of her control.

"No. I just didn't expect that my eldest brother had already arranged for someone to follow Doctor Gu, which is why the secret guards didn't kill him on the spot. But according to the secret guards who carried out the mission, his sword hit the vital point, and it would be difficult for him to survive."

"But the problem is that Doctor Gu survived." The Third Old Lady only saw the result. "You need to be more considerate in your future actions and not be so hasty."

"Yes, mother." The third master replied respectfully.

"Send someone to find out who saved Doctor Gu. He was able to save the patient from such a serious injury, which shows that he has great medical skills. If you can recruit him for your own use, that would be the best. If not, just kill him directly." The Third Old Lady's words were cold and chilling.

"Yes." The third master accepted the order.

"Also, your appointment letter should be here soon. The Emperor has been kind to you this time, assigning you to the Ministry of War as the head of the military supply department, in charge of military supplies and fodder. When the time comes, you should find a way to place a few more people throughout the capital. It would be even better if you could place someone in the palace as well. This will prepare us for our future actions."

"Yes."

They don't look like mother and son, but more like superiors and subordinates.

The third master sent someone to Beijing to inquire that same day.

As a result, three days passed and no one had found any doctor with good medical skills.

Before they returned to the capital, there was a doctor named Zeng Yuan who had opened three pharmacies in the capital that only sold medicine but did not treat patients. However, he had already left the capital, saying that he was going back to Yaowang Mountain to continue his studies and would come back to treat the eldest son's leg.

He also sent people to find out where Yaowang Mountain was. He was determined to kill this person and not give him the chance to return to the capital to treat Ziqi.

This matter will not be resolved in a day or two.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, except for the children of the second and third wives who went out to play, no one else left the palace.

This year's New Year was very depressing. No one thought of having fun.

The princess and Yu Yuanzheng were pregnant, so it was even less likely that they would go out and join in the fun.

But Shangguan Ziqi personally made a few lanterns for Yu Yuanzheng to play with and hung them in the yard.

He was very accomplished in painting and painted all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish on the lanterns, which were very beautiful.

"I didn't expect you to have this skill." Yu Yuanzheng looked at seven or eight lanterns with different shapes.

There are rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, carp lanterns...

Just as she was enjoying the show, Yu Chaoyang's wet nurse Liu came to Qiyayuan.

"Meet the eldest young master, meet the eldest young lady."

"Madame Liu is not serving your master in Shuxiangyuan, so why is she running here?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't understand.

Since the time when Madam Liu came to Qiyayuan to move the dowry, she has never been here again.

"Madam, could you please move to Shuxiangyuan? The Crown Prince's wife wants to see you." Liu was very humble and spoke very politely.

"Oh, the sun really is rising from the west." Yu Yuanzheng sneered.

"Madam, I was ignorant before. I hope you can forgive me." Liu admitted her mistake with a flattering face.

When she was in the Bo's Mansion, this Liu often bullied the original owner.

"Could it be that Yu Chaoyang has thought of some trick to plot against me?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't believe that Yu Chaoyang would be so humble as to invite her to have tea and chat.

"Madam, don't worry. The Crown Princess sincerely invites you over. She has something to tell you." Thinking about the Crown Princess' instructions, Liu was determined to invite the person over, so she spoke more sincerely.
