The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

At this time, at the Shangshu Mansion, Tianshu sent the Shangshu's daughter back to the mansion and warned the Shangshu: "Shangshu Li, you shouldn't covet things that don't belong to you. This is a warning, but if it happens again, it won't be just a warning."

Upon hearing this, Minister Li's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly bowed and said, "Please calm down, my lord. I will definitely remember this and will never do it again."

Tianshu snorted coldly, staring at Li Shangshu with a sharp gaze, and said, "I hope that you, Shangshu, will keep your word. Don't think that the prince is easy to fool."

Minister Li nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I understand. I have always been loyal to His Majesty and have never had any second thoughts."

Tianshu said no more and turned to leave. The Shangshu lady couldn't help but ask, "Master Tianshu, what...what on earth is going on?"

Tianshu glanced back at her and said, "Miss, it's better for you to stay calm and don't bring trouble to the Shangshu Mansion."

After saying this, Tianshu strode away, leaving the Shangshu and his daughter there, full of fear and anxiety.

Minister Li sat dejectedly on the chair and sighed heavily: "I thought that the Regent would agree to the marriage if the Imperial Concubine granted it, but I never thought that the Regent would not take the Imperial Concubine seriously at all.

The eldest daughter of the Shangshu family ran to Li Shangshu crying and shouted, "Father, what should I do?"

At this moment, a bright voice sounded, "Oh, were they kicked out?"

Hearing the hidden meaning, Minister Li's face suddenly darkened, veins bulged on his forehead, he clenched his fists and stopped talking.

The Shangshu's daughter instantly became furious when she saw the visitor and shouted angrily, "Bitch, you are laughing at me, aren't you?

The second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion looked aggrieved and said, "Sister, how can you say that to me?"

Miss Shangshu glared at her and said sternly, "Who else could it be but you? Why are you coming to laugh at my joke at this time? What are you thinking?"

The second young lady, with tears in her eyes, defended herself: "Sister, I really just care about you, there is no other intention."

The eldest lady sneered: "Care about me? Humph, stop pretending!"

Minister Li picked up the teacup from the coffee table and slammed it to the ground, angrily saying, "That's enough! Stop arguing!"

His voice echoed in the hall. The eldest and second daughters were startled by the sudden roar and immediately fell silent.

Minister Li looked at his two daughters with a gloomy face and said, "The Shangshu Mansion is in trouble right now. Instead of thinking about how to overcome the difficulties together, you two sisters are quarreling here. How disgraceful!"

The eldest daughter curled her lips and muttered softly, "Father, it was obviously her..."

Minister Li glared at her and shouted, "Shut up! As the eldest sister, can't you give in to your younger sister?"

The eldest lady lowered her head and said nothing more.

Minister Li looked at the second young lady again and angrily said, "And you, it's okay. What are you doing in the front yard? Get back to your yard.

The second young lady was unwilling to give up. She clenched her fists. Her nails dug into the

The second young lady felt unwilling to give in. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning slightly white. But she still said respectfully, "Yes, father. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he bowed to Minister Li and walked out of the hall.

After the second young lady left, only Minister Li and the eldest young lady Li were left.

Miss Li sobbed, "Father, what should I do? Everyone in the capital knows that your majesty has arranged for my marriage to the Prince Regent, and now I've been kicked out. How will I face people in the future?"

Minister Li looked helpless and distressed, and sighed, "My daughter, I'm also trying to find a solution. Don't cry yourself to death."

The eldest daughter cried even more bitterly, her tears soaking her clothes: "Father, my daughter's reputation is ruined. Which young man will dare to marry me in the future?"

The Shangshu's wife asked anxiously, "Master, is there really no way?"

Minister Li frowned, pacing back and forth in the room, and sighed, "Madam, this matter is very difficult. The Regent is so determined, I don't know what to do for the moment."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the Shangshu's wife. She said, "My poor daughter, what will happen to her in the future? If this gets out, how will she live?"

Minister Li stopped and said, "Madam, please don't worry. Let me think of a solution. Perhaps we can ask His Majesty to mediate."

The Shangshu's wife shook her head and said, "How could His Majesty offend the Regent for our family's affairs? Master, you must come up with a foolproof plan."

Minister Li rubbed his temples and said, "I know, ma'am. But the regent is extremely powerful, and we can't offend him easily."

The Shangshu's wife looked worried and said, "I can't just watch my daughter suffer."

Minister Li pondered for a moment and said, "How about we go to the Duanmu family and see if we can find a breakthrough from the fourth young lady of the Duanmu family?"

The Shangshu's wife asked doubtfully, "The fourth young lady of the Duanmu family? Is this possible?"

Minister Li said helplessly, "Now we can only try our best. It's better to give it a try than to sit and wait for death."

The Shangshu's wife sighed and said, "Then you must be careful, sir."

Minister Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I know what to do."

On the other side, in the Imperial Palace. In the Imperial Study, Tianshu arrived at the Imperial Study without knowing when. Emperor Nanyuan saw Tianshu and asked hurriedly, "How is the Regent these days?

Tianshu had a blank expression on his face. He repeated Yun Mohan's (Nangong Han's) words to Emperor Nanyuan, "Your Majesty, my prince said that if Your Majesty doesn't take care of the person next to you, you don't have to sit on the throne anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianshu disappeared in the imperial study, leaving Emperor Nanyuan alone. Upon hearing this, Emperor Nanyuan's face instantly darkened.

He summoned the eunuch Nanyuan Emperor and shouted angrily, "Come here, set up the Fengyi Palace!"

Soon, Emperor Nanyuan arrived at Fengyi Palace. Upon hearing the emperor's arrival, Concubine Li hurried out to greet him, a flattering smile on her face. However, before she could even open her mouth, Emperor Nanyuan slapped her hard in the face.

Concubine Li was knocked to the ground by this sudden slap. She covered her swollen cheek and looked at Emperor Nanyuan in horror. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I don't know what I have done wrong to make Your Majesty so angry."

Emperor Nanyuan's eyes widened in anger as he pointed at her and cursed, "Noble Concubine, you are so bold! How dare you interfere in the Regent's affairs!"

Concubine Li's delicate body trembled, tears trickled down her cheeks, and she said in a panic, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I knew nothing about this matter."

Emperor Nanyuan snorted coldly and said sternly, "You didn't know? Your father is the Minister of Rites. Now that this ridiculous marriage has happened, how dare you say you have nothing to do with it?"

Concubine Li kowtowed repeatedly, bruising her forehead. She burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, Yan'er only admires the Regent. I, only, only granted her a marriage with the Regent."

Emperor Nanyuan looked down at the imperial concubine kneeling on the ground and said sarcastically, "Hmph!" Just based on your unlearned niece, you think you are worthy of dreaming of the position of Regent Princess.

Concubine Li collapsed to the ground, her voice trembling as she said, "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me this time. I am willing to apologize to the Regent."

Emperor Nanyuan's face was gloomy. He said, "Apologize? If this matter cannot be properly resolved, I think your Li family will suffer!"

After Emperor Nanyuan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left Fengyi Palace.

Concubine Li looked at the receding figure of Emperor Nanyuan and cried until she was hoarse. The palace maids beside her dared to step forward and help her up.

"Your Majesty, please don't be too sad. It's important to take care of your health." The palace maids carefully comforted her.

Concubine Li's eyes were empty and her face was covered with tears. She murmured to herself: "What should I do? What should I do..."

She was filled with fear and helplessness, knowing that if this matter was not handled properly, not only would the Li family suffer, but her own position in the palace would also be in jeopardy.

Fengyi Palace was filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Supported by the palace maids, Concubine Li slowly walked into the inner room and slumped on the bed, her thoughts in a mess.
