In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Seeing Su Zhizhi asking about Xu Miao's condition, a trace of hurt flashed in Shen Wenjun's eyes, but Shen Wenjun concealed it very well.

"I think Princess Changle is in the same condition as you, so she still needs to be taken good care of." Shen Wenjun replied with a faint smile.

Xie Chengjin stepped between the two of them and said to Su Zhizhi, "I still have some things to discuss with him. You should have a good rest first. I will be back soon."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin helped Su Zhizhi lie down, and then took Shen Wenjun out.

Su Zhizhi closed her eyes tiredly until there was no one else in the room. She had just lied. This time, she was really seriously ill. A cold was no small matter. If not treated properly, it could be fatal. As for Xu Miao, Su Zhizhi could guess roughly what was happening. After all, Xu Miao was in delicate health, so even if his condition was not as serious as Su Zhizhi's, it should not be much different.

Su Zhizhi no longer had the energy to think about anything else and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

In the study, Xie Chengjin looked at Shen Wenjun very seriously and handed the item in his hand to her. "Take a look, here are all the details of how Princess Changle and Zhizhi fell into the water."

Shen Wenjun glanced at Xie Chengjin suspiciously before reaching out to take it and reading it quickly.

Soon, Shen Wenjun finished reading the whole thing. Her face turned pale and she said sternly, "This Xu Wanqing is really restless. She's clearly been confined by His Majesty, but she still manages to cause so much trouble. She's just an eldest princess, and we really underestimated her."

"At this point, there is no need to leave any way out. Xu Wanqing must die." A hint of cruelty flashed in Xie Chengjin's eyes. He really wanted to kill Xu Wanqing.

"This matter is actually simple. Xu Wanqing has been unpopular since the last incident, so as long as we have enough evidence and charges this time, it will be enough to bring Xu Wanqing down. I think that the fact of attacking Princess Changle is enough to make His Majesty completely disgusted with her." Shen Wenjun analyzed calmly.

The two discussed in the study for a long time, and then Shen Wenjun took advantage of the night to leave Xie Chengjin's mansion.

Xie Chengjin turned around and returned to his and Su Zhizhi's bedroom.

In the room, Su Zhizhi was wrapped in a thick quilt. There were three or four braziers around the bed, and several hot water bottles filled with hot water inside the quilt.

Normally, the person in the quilt should be very hot, but Su Zhizhi's face was frighteningly pale, with only her face exposed. Her eyes were tightly closed, and it was unclear whether she was asleep or unconscious.

Seeing Su Zhizhi like this, Xie Chengjin felt particularly distressed and became more and more dissatisfied with Xu Wanqing.

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi...you'd better get up and eat something." Xie Chengjin called Su Zhizhi's name softly.

Su Zhizhi was fast asleep and had no reaction to Xie Chengjin's words.

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin sighed deeply, then came to Su Zhizhi's side and put his hand on Su Zhizhi's forehead. In just a moment, Xie Chengjin's face became serious again.

Su Zhizhi's forehead was very hot, but her hands hidden under the quilt were extremely cold.

Perhaps because Xie Chengjin's body temperature was a little hot, Su Zhizhi subconsciously reached out and pulled Xie Chengjin's hand away, "Cold... so cold... Xie Chengjin..."

Xie Chengjin suppressed the sadness in his heart, carefully held Su Zhizhi in his arms, and kept comforting her.

Perhaps it was because Xie Chengjin's embrace was too warm, Su Zhizhi felt much more comfortable with her eyes closed. She found a comfortable position in Xie Chengjin's arms and fell into a deep sleep again.

Seeing Su Zhizhi like this, Xie Chengjin asked someone to bring another thick quilt. After it was warmed up, he covered Su Zhizhi with it.

At the court session the next morning, Xie Chengjin, Shen Wenjun and the fifth prince filed a complaint to expose Xu Wanqing's dirty deeds to the public.

The emperor listened to what Xie Chengjin and others said with a dark face.

After they finished speaking, the emperor was silent for a moment and then said, "Do you have any evidence to suspect that my eldest princess would do such a dirty thing?"

Seeing that the emperor was still unwilling to give up, Xie Chengjin handed the item to the emperor. After reviewing the evidence, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered that Xu Wanqing's title be stripped away and her name be removed from the family tree and demoted to a commoner. From then on, there was no longer a princess named Xu Wanqing in the royal family.

Xu Wanqing originally thought that what she had done was flawless, but after the imperial edict came down, Xu Wanqing's expression became extremely unhappy, and her face turned green.

Being demoted to a commoner was the thing that Xu Wanqing could not accept the most. She immediately wanted to go to the palace to find the emperor, but was stopped by the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

"Your Highness... Oh no, Miss, His Majesty is very angry right now. It would be useless for you to enter the palace now. It is better for you to follow His Majesty's will." After saying that, the eunuch stood up straight and glanced at Xu Wanqing with contempt.

"Someone, come here and clean out the princess's mansion!" As soon as the words fell, a team of guards came out from behind the eunuch, ignoring Xu Wanqing's obstruction, and moved all the valuable things in the princess's mansion out.

Xu Wanqing had no choice but to walk out alone unwillingly. She was accompanied only by a personal maid who had served her since childhood. The others had all scattered.

Xu Wanqing had just walked out of the Princess's Mansion and was still thinking about where to go when someone hoodwinked her and took her away. The maid beside her wanted to stop him, but was knocked unconscious and thrown aside.

"Wow! -, cough cough..." Xu Wanqing was tied up and a basin of cold water was poured over her head. Xu Wanqing suddenly woke up.

"Isn't this the once high and mighty Princess? How does it feel to be reduced to a prisoner today?" Guo Jiaruo's voice sounded from the side, and Xu Wanqing's sharp eyes instantly swept over.

Guo Jiaruo can be said to hate Xu Wanqing. When the Guo family fell, Xu Wanqing took advantage of the situation and Guo Jiaruo suffered a lot at the hands of Xu Wanqing. Now that the situation has reversed, Guo Jiaruo looked at the embarrassed Xu Wanqing in front of him and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Xu Wanqing, oh Xu Wanqing, have you ever thought that you would end up like this today?" Guo Jiaruo stepped forward, but Xu Wanqing had no way to avoid him.

Guo Jiaruo stretched out his hand to clamp Xu Wanqing's chin, looked her left and right, and finally slapped her suddenly.

The force was so great that almost half of Xu Wanqing's face was swollen.

"Bitch! How dare you attack me!" Xu Wanqing's facial features were distorted, and she wished she could pull out the skin and tendons of Guo Jiaruo in front of her.

"This palace? Xu Wanqing, you are a lowly commoner now, and you still call yourself this palace? Come on, beat this ignorant woman hard." Guo Jiaruo gave an order, and the maid behind him came forward and hit Xu Wanqing in the face left and right.
