The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

However, the old lady noticed from Meng Qingwen's expression that this was indeed the truth, and her face suddenly changed.

"Absolutely not! This woman must leave. Wen'er, how could you be so confused?"

Meng Qingwen naturally knew how serious the matter was, but he was still a little reluctant. After all, Yu Niang was the girl he had known since childhood. When her family was demoted, she was also exiled to that bitter and cold place.

I was reluctant to let him go, so I secretly stopped him. However, if this matter is exposed now, it will indeed become a problem.

Gu was also delighted. She didn't expect that the bitch was actually the daughter of a criminal. Such a person should never think of entering the Marquis' Mansion!

……

Gu Fanchu naturally knew that the Marquis' Mansion would be extremely lively today, but this had nothing to do with her.

So she slept well and peacefully, and the next morning she dressed up carefully and went into the palace with Wang.

When they arrived at her aunt's Qinhua Palace, Gu Fanchu keenly noticed that there were many new faces serving in the palace.

Apparently, my aunt quietly replaced all the people around her during this period.

However, even from this small detail, one can feel the dangers lurking in the deep courtyard of the imperial palace.

Everyone here could become a victim of the power struggle, and my aunt's actions undoubtedly show her vigilance and caution about her surroundings.

Imperial Concubine Xi sat dignifiedly on the upper seat, watching them come in and salute with gentle eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a kind smile. Then she stood up gracefully, walked quickly forward, and warmly took the hands of the two people:

"Alright, alright, there's no need to be so restrained here. Sister-in-law and Chu'er are family, there's no need for so much formality."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and instructed the maid beside her, "Go and pour tea for sister-in-law and Chu'er."

Gu Fanchu looked at her aunt's face carefully and found that her complexion was more rosy and lustrous than last time. She was secretly happy in her heart because it meant that the prescription she prescribed had a significant effect.

"Your Majesty looks much more rosy this time."

Wang said softly with a joyful smile on her face.

Concubine Xi naturally noticed her recent changes. Her eyes became softer as she looked at Gu Fanchu, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Chu'er's medicine is really effective. I feel my body is more healthy and my spirits are much better. I never thought that Chu'er, at such a young age, has already mastered such advanced medical skills. It's truly amazing!"

Imperial Concubine Xi exclaimed with sincere admiration.

Hearing Concubine Xi's praise, Gu Fanchu lowered his head shyly and said softly, "Aunt, you are too kind. I just happened to have seen a similar case before. It is my honor to be able to help you, Aunt."

Concubine Xi smiled and nodded in approval.

However, when she thought of her sister's behavior, she couldn't help but feel strong dissatisfaction and disappointment in her heart.

She felt extremely angry and indignant about what the Marquis' Mansion had done, but at the same time she was filled with deep sympathy and love for Gu Fanchu.

At first glance, Chu'er looked far more outstanding than the fake daughter raised in the mansion, but her sister seemed to be deceived and actually abandoned Chu'er for that fake daughter.

She naturally already knew what happened yesterday.

Over the years, Meng Qingwen has used his sister's status in the Marquis' Mansion to do many things in the name of the General's Mansion and gained a lot of benefits.

Everyone in the General's Mansion turned a blind eye, but unexpectedly they became more and more rampant.

Meng Qingwen is really a mediocre and incompetent person. If he didn't have the title of Marquis, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to serve as an official in the court.

Now, he even dared to keep a mistress outside.

"Chu'er is becoming more and more decent now. Don't worry, your aunt will take care of things for you in the future."

Concubine Xi looked at her niece who was becoming more and more beautiful, and her heart was filled with joy and relief.

"Yes, Chu'er thanks you, aunt." Gu Fanchu thanked her quickly.

After all the maids in the hall had left, Gu Fanchu stepped forward to take Concubine Xi's pulse.

Feeling the increasingly strong pulse under his fingers, Gu Fanchu nodded in satisfaction:

"Aunt is recovering very well. She can stop taking the previous medicine. I brought some other prepared pills today. Aunt should be fine after taking them for another month."

When Concubine Xi heard this, she was delighted. She had not been able to get pregnant for so many years and had almost given up in despair.

She didn't expect that she would have this opportunity now. How could she not be happy?

I changed everyone in the yard this month, which naturally attracted some people's attention.

But they had no way to do anything with themselves for the time being.

It’s not that she was afraid of them, but her most urgent task was to take care of her body. If she confronted those people at this time, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen.

In that case, let them be arrogant for a while.

Ever since she entered the palace, she has been favored by the emperor.

However, she knew very well that this favor was not unconditional, but was due to the family power behind her - the General's Mansion.

Therefore, she understood that she could not rely solely on the emperor's favor to maintain her position, but must have her own means and strategies.

The emperor's love is shallow. As a woman in the harem, she naturally knows that she cannot rely on that weak love to support her for a lifetime.

Gu Fanchu took out the makeup box she had prepared, which immediately attracted Concubine Xi's curious gaze.

"What is this?..." Concubine Xi naturally realized that this should be a makeup box used by women, but it was more exquisite than those boxes on the market.

"Aunt, this is a gift from Chu'er. It's not very expensive. Please don't despise it."

Gu Fanchu said a little embarrassedly. After all, there were all kinds of rare treasures in the palace. Although this small box was made as exquisitely as possible, it was indeed not a rare treasure.

Concubine Xi took the box, pressed her finger on the opening, and with a "click", the box opened.

It looks ordinary on the outside, but it is actually very complicated inside. It can actually reveal many layers of hidden space, and each layer is filled with small bottles of different shapes.

"What is this? This is really clever!"

Concubine Xi said in surprise.

She had certainly seen makeup boxes before, but she had never seen one as exquisite as this one.

"Yes, it is indeed ingenious. It was specially made by a master. The bottles on the top layer are for rouge, powder and skin care products, but Chu'er also put my aunt's pills on the bottom layer."

Gu Fanchu opened several bottles of pills and showed them to his aunt.

Concubine Xi immediately understood that Gu Fanchu was afraid that she would not be safe, so he placed it so secretly.

"Chu'er is so thoughtful!"

······

When they left Qinhua Palace, the carriage was filled with Concubine Xi's rewards.

Gu Fanchu was helpless, but he couldn't refuse, so he left the palace under the envious eyes of others.

But just as he arrived at the palace gate, he met someone he didn't want to see.
