Why aren't you guys complaining now that I'm here?

A show of force.

Lin Hao sneered, "You don't have to go, go back and apply some medicine."

With a thought, the restrictions in the Second Prince's body were activated silently.

When they arrived at the palace, Concubine De saw that the second prince did not come, so she said nothing and helped cover up in front of the emperor and empress.

Lin Hao sat with him for a while and received a lot of rewards. Calculating that the restriction on the second prince was about to expire, he stood up and took his leave.

Just as he stood up, a pale-faced young eunuch hurried in from outside the hall and knelt down with a thud.

Lin Hao recognized him. He was the one serving beside the second prince. His name was Fuquan.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine, something terrible has happened. The Second Prince, the Second Prince..."

Concubine De's heart skipped a beat and she clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand.

"What's wrong with the Second Prince? You little dog slave, you're so hesitant when you speak. Be careful or I'll chop off your head!"

"The Second Prince, the Second Prince..."

Fuquan's face flushed crimson, and he gritted his teeth, "The Second Prince has just been struck down by a cold, and his life is in danger!"

"What!?"

Concubine De was anxious and fell down because she lost her balance.

"My beloved concubine!"

The emperor's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"His Majesty!"

With her only son in such a state, Concubine De couldn't care about anything else. She tightly grasped the emperor's hand and cried, "Your Majesty, please go and save our Yang'er..."

The emperor nodded with a serious face, waved his hand and was about to order the imperial physician to come over, when Fuquan hurriedly knelt forward.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the doctors in the palace have saved His Highness with medicine, but, but..."

Concubine De was furious, "Just what?! If you keep saying half and leaving the other half, I'll chop off your head right now!"

Fuquan shuddered and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me. His Highness has been rescued, but for some reason, his nose is crooked, his eyes are slanted, and he's drooling. I suspect it's the result of a cold..."

Concubine De only felt a loud bang above her head.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be thankful that my son was alive, or sad that he was still alive.

Her son, the son she raised with pampering, who was the most likely to inherit the throne, was ruined like this and would even become the laughing stock of the entire royal family!

Two lines of clear tears fell down, and Concubine De tightly grasped the emperor's clothes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you to thoroughly investigate the person who harmed Yang'er. I will tear her into pieces!"

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I know everything."

The emperor patted her hands, helped her up and placed her on a chair, then looked at Fuquan with a solemn expression.

"Tell me everything that happened. If you hide anything, I will kill you without mercy!"

"Slave dare not!"

Fuquan knelt down and kowtowed before saying, "Early this morning, His Highness and the Crown Princess were resting when Miss Ruan suddenly burst into the yard, saying that Miss Min was crying non-stop."

"His Highness and Miss Ruan returned to Lan Fang Zhai and told us not to enter. We then stood guard outside."

"About half an hour later, Miss Ruan suddenly opened the door in a panic and said that His Highness had been in trouble. I saw that something was wrong and immediately sent for a doctor."

"Ridiculous!" The emperor glanced at Concubine De, his face full of anger.

"I've already told you that his favoritism towards that dancer might lead to something wrong, but you just let him do what he wants!"

Concubine De knelt hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. It's all that vixen's fault. She has been bewitching Yang'er all day and has now brought Yang'er to this point. I beg Your Majesty to punish her immediately!"

"The culprit should not be spared. Pass on my order: have that dancer beaten to death!"

The chief eunuch beside the emperor received the oral order and bowed and left.

Concubine De stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am really worried about Yang'er..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go if you want."

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out quickly.

After walking a few steps, he remembered something and turned to look at Lin Hao, "Jiang, you will ride in the same chariot with me."

Lin Hao agreed and followed her out of the palace and got on the sedan chair.

Concubine De clutched her handkerchief, feeling impatient and unable to help but blame Lin Hao.

"You just married Yang'er yesterday. Instead of taking this opportunity to show off your status as the prince's consort, you allowed Ruan to dominate you. Instead, you caused Yang'er to be dragged down by that bitch!"

"Please forgive me, Mother. I didn't want to do that either."

Lin Hao curled his lips and complained in his heart:

You, as a mother, know the whole thing but you don't do anything about it. Instead, you let me, a stranger who just walked in, take care of it. It's outrageous. It's outrageous that your mother opened the door. It's outrageous to the extreme.

Concubine De frowned, feeling dissatisfied and wanting to scold again.

On second thought, the prince is now in this state, no matter how noble the royal family is, they are nothing but a joke. Now we must stabilize Jiang to prevent her from making trouble.

"Forget it. I know you've been wronged. Your father is taking this opportunity to attack Ruan. Yang'er has no other women around her. You just need to live your life well from now on."

Lin Hao nodded without saying anything, and was too lazy to argue with her.

Her leisurely and wealthy life for the rest of her life depends on Concubine De. If she is really brought down, who will she find to fleece her?

Soon, the sedan chair stopped outside Lanfangzhai. Concubine De hurried to the inner room, and Lin Hao followed her in.

The second prince had just taken the medicine and was leaning on the big pillow, drooling.

"Yang'er!"

Seeing his funny look, Lin Hao almost laughed out loud, but he quickly coughed to hold it back.

Concubine De was crying bitterly. She didn't notice her abnormality and walked forward in two steps to sit beside the bed, calling her darling.

The second prince wanted to speak, but saliva started flowing out as soon as he opened his mouth. He was so anxious that he kept slapping the edge of the bed.

Concubine De understood what he meant and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"That bitch has been beaten to death by your father. You are not allowed to mention her again. You are in this state, so don't think about anything else. Just live a good life with Jiang!"

The second prince was angry and anxious, pointing at Lin Hao in a strange posture.

"No, don't blame Ruan, Ruan Niang, it's Jiang, Jiang, Jiang! Blame her for deliberately seducing me last night and wasting my energy. I want to kill her, and I deserve to kill her!"

Just one sentence made him break out in a sweat.

If Lin Hao hadn't known that nothing happened last night, he would have almost believed it.

It was true that she had placed a restriction on him, but if he hadn't done that during the day, it wouldn't have been so serious. At most, he would have been weak for a while.

Speaking of which, in the plot, he also deliberately shielded Zhu Sandao, who harmed the original body, for the sake of Jiang Mingyue, and even entrusted him with an important task.

Now that we have come to this point, perhaps it is the cycle of cause and effect.

Fortunately, Concubine De was not a very confused person. Upon hearing this, she poked him on the forehead with a look of disappointment.

"You still dare to protect that bitch? It's obvious that she was too promiscuous and seduced you into doing that ridiculous thing during the day, which is why you got into trouble. Okay, you don't have to say anything. Mother knows the answer."

After hearing what Concubine De said, the Second Prince was a little shaken. Within two days, he forgot his love for Ruan Niang and turned to hate her for harming him.

The second prince was no different from a cripple, and Ruan Niang was also executed.

The servants in the prince's mansion quickly realized the reality and expressed their loyalty to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao would not refuse the free helpers, so he readily accepted them and completely took control of the prince's mansion.

Next comes the time to hunt down the Rongping Marquis Mansion.
