To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

"My queen, you know exactly what you did. Please don't make this old servant feel embarrassed and go on your way. Save some dignity for yourself and the young prince. If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place!"

Mrs. Lu screamed hysterically, "I don't accept it, I don't accept it! Why? It's clearly the Empress Dowager's destiny! Why can Chang be the Crown Princess but I can't? Isn't it just because she has a good family background? Please, eunuch, let me see the Empress Dowager. She will definitely let me go out of her mercy! Please, eunuch!"

At this time, a steady voice sounded: "You don't have to beg, I'm here!"

Queen Ma was seen walking in wearing casual clothes and only two gold hairpins on her head, with a murderous look on her face!

Mrs. Lu knelt on the ground and kowtowed profusely: "Mother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me for the sake of my child! Wuwuwu..."

Empress Ma sat on a chair and took a sip of the tea brought by the palace maid. "Lu, stop struggling in vain. Are you dissatisfied? How can you even mention the child? Xiongying is the future crown prince. You poisoned him and this is shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty! Has Chang treated you badly? You poisoned her and are so heartless and unjust! Have I ever made things difficult for you? You poisoned me and this is disloyalty and unfilial! Shameless people like you who are so unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial should be killed by everyone!"

Mrs. Lu acted like a madman: "Chang treats me like shit! She only climbed to the position of Crown Princess by relying on her family's good status. What's wrong with her being better than me? She gives me a share of every new thing she gets, but she stabs me in the heart all the time, reminding me all the time that I am a concubine. What she gives me is called a reward! Why should I use her reward!

And how is Yun Wen inferior to Xiong Ying? That child is a seed of learning and will definitely be a wise ruler in the future! Why should I kneel to Chang? Why should my son also kneel to Chang's son? If I admit defeat, then my descendants will have to kneel too! "

Empress Ma's eyes were filled with tears. "What a sin! You always ask why. The reason is that the Ming Dynasty was won by countless warriors like Chang's father and brothers! Chang is a generous person who is worthy of being the mother of the country. Xiongying is Biao'er's eldest son, smart and gentle, yet resourceful. This is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. How dare you, Lu?"

Chang and Biao'er are childhood sweethearts, and they have had a very good relationship since they were young. If you say so, I will accompany Your Majesty through all the ups and downs in your life, and when Your Majesty becomes successful, I should find a rope to hang myself, so as to make way for shameless people like you!

"Mrs. Lu, I finally see you through. You're a shameless villain! You didn't stand by Biao'er through thick and thin, yet you coveted the position of the Chang family! You'll eliminate anyone who stands in your way! People like you can't stand others being better than you. You're a venomous snake in the gutter!"

"Old Yun, stop talking nonsense to this vicious woman. If she doesn't want to drink, two people will feed her! People like this will die sooner or later!"

Eunuch Yun did not dare to delay and took action himself: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for your wrongdoing!"

Eunuch Yun also hated Lu. This woman caused chaos in the palace, and hundreds of palace servants were caught in the act!

Eunuch Yun pinched Mrs. Lu's chin and poured the entire pot of poisoned wine into Mrs. Lu's mouth without leaving a single drop!

Lu's nose was pinched and just as she was about to open her mouth to breathe, the poisoned wine went into her stomach. Suddenly, Lu felt like there was a ball of fire burning in her stomach, and then she curled up in pain!

In less than an hour, Lady Lu was beyond dead. Empress Ma had the palace maids dress Lady Lu in clean clothes and place her in a thin coffin. Eunuch Yun personally led the men to find a plot of land outside the city to bury her. There was no monument or marker, and Lady Lu's already short life ended just like that.

Empress Ma was exhausted after dealing with Concubine Lu and returned to the palace in a sedan chair. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he saw his wife's exhausted face. "Why did you go to see such a shameless bitch when you are such a good person? You must be angry! You are not young anymore, and you are so arrogant in everything you do. I didn't ask Biaoer to go, but you didn't listen to me."

Empress Ma shed tears again: "When I first saw Lu, she wasn't like this. She was a very gentle little girl. How could she become like this in just a few years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped Empress Ma's tears and said, "Don't cry, sister. It's all her own fault. I think the Lu family is not good. They are a family of sour scholars who have no connection with us! They raised such a bastard. Their family is rotten from the inside out!"

A princess consort died in the palace, and the funeral was extremely sloppy. There were no ladies mourning and no grand funeral. It was unspeakably peaceful, as if Lu had never appeared in the palace. People say that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are stubborn, but it depends on who they are. This is obviously a royal secret, but not a single censor reported it!

The censors weren't stupid. Anyone who complained about this would die. The royal family dealt with a daughter-in-law, so it was none of their business. It didn't shake the foundation of the country! Don't mess with the emperor if you have nothing to do. He'll skin you alive, straw you, and spank you. The emperor won't tolerate your misbehavior! Hi, it's all the same game!

These imperial censors are really famous for being cowards! If the emperor is a little weak, they will be furious. If the emperor eats a little more mutton, they will go to the Golden Palace to make him save money. (For details, please refer to Song Renzong.) But for founding emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang who have spent their entire lives in the military, they are as obedient as they can be! For no other reason than to leave their names in history and to enjoy life more! Ten years of hard study just to become a superior person. Who is not afraid of death when they die? The reason why they are so stubborn is that they think the emperor will not kill them. Zhu Yuanzhang is not the kind of person who spoils his children. They are really afraid!

Apart from the few children born to Lu, no one in the palace dared to mention Lu anymore. Lu became a taboo in the palace.

Zhu Biao was truly heartbroken this time. For the sake of his son's life, he did not appoint another Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace! Only a few Liangdi, Fengyi, Zhaoxun, and Chenghui were mixed up in the Eastern Palace.

Xu Huizhen didn't care about all this. She was coaxing her children at home. Although Zhu Yuanzhang appointed her as a judge, she didn't bother herself to work in the Imperial Hospital. The original owner was a nobody who treated women's diseases. She had no rank and was only used by the empress and the palace maids when they had unspeakable illnesses and the imperial physician was not convenient to examine them!

The old scholars in the Imperial Hospital have been displeased with her these days. Her rival Xu Huizhen has risen up, which is bound to affect the interests of the old guys in the Imperial Hospital. Xu Huizhen's father has also passed away, so there is even less people to support her. Xu Huizhen's brother is more promising and despised the path of studying medicine. He studied hard and became a Jinshi in the imperial examinations. Now he has been sent to Fujian to serve as the prefect of the sixth rank, and is living a mediocre life in Fujian.

People are jealous, and what Xu Huizhen didn't know was that rumors were coming at her in waves!
