Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Seeing that Grand Tutor Ling was determined to argue with the Prince of Chu, Grand Tutor Gu realized that his son-in-law's current status made it inappropriate for him to speak up.

However, he felt uneasy looking at Grand Tutor Ling, who was now in power and trying to make sure that the King of Chu had no chance to recover.

"The King of Chu has already dealt with it immediately. Now that the King of Chu himself has been infected and is feeling unwell, shouldn't the most pressing concern be how to cure the plague?"

Grand Tutor Gu looked at Grand Tutor Ling, "Grand Tutor Ling, why are you in such a hurry to convict me?"

Grand Tutor Ling's expression darkened slightly, and he was about to speak when Grand Tutor Ruan spoke first: "Grand Tutor Gu is right. The most important thing right now is to find a solution."

If we truly want to convict someone, let's wait until His Highness the King of Chu arrives at court. Given his character, I believe he won't shirk responsibility.

The expressions of the people in the court varied. Everyone had heard about the upcoming marriage alliance between the Ruan family and the Song family, and now Grand Tutor Ruan's attitude was quite clear.

However, they felt that the matter was indeed sudden, and the King of Chu's response was already very good. Even if it were someone else, they wouldn't have had a better way to handle it!

Seeing that Grand Tutor Gu and Grand Preceptor Ruan were joining forces, and even some generals were speaking up for Chu Junting, Prince Che couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

With such a major mishap occurring in the military camp, King Chu cannot escape blame no matter what.

Instead, these people all ended up protecting the King of Chu?

Grand Tutor Ling glanced at the people beside him and saw another minister step forward. "Now everyone in the capital is talking about this matter. If we don't punish the Prince of Chu, it will be difficult to silence the gossip!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Many ministers knelt down, demanding that the emperor severely punish the Prince of Chu.

The Emperor's gaze swept calmly over the people, finally landing on Grand Tutor Ling in front, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Just then, a man rushed outside and handed the letter to the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch quickly walked to the emperor's side and quietly explained the reason.

A smile flashed in the Emperor's eyes. "News has just come from the military camp. After the Princess Consort of Chu and several imperial physicians worked tirelessly, they have finally found a cure for the plague."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked on with a strong sense of surprise.

Song Lin and the others exchanged glances, and excited smiles appeared on their faces.

"My goodness, my daughter is truly remarkable!"

Song Lin couldn't help but be excited. The imperial physicians had been researching for so long without hearing any good news, but his daughter had only been there for a day and they had already come up with this method.

He subconsciously felt that it was Zhen'er's idea, and even if it wasn't, it was still a blessing that Zhen'er brought!

Chu Tianche and Grand Tutor Ling were both filled with disbelief. How could this be?

How could she possibly come up with a cure in such a short time?

Everyone knows how difficult it is to treat a plague. This plan was perfect in terms of timing, location, and people. But who would have thought that such an accident would happen?

"A spy was discovered in the military camp who poisoned the well. He has now been captured by the King of Chu. Also... Physician Jin is a spy as well."

The emperor's face darkened; these spies had nearly killed his two sons!

This matter must not be tolerated!

"I have already sent people to investigate this matter. The person behind this will not escape this time, and I will eradicate them all!"

In that instant, all the ministers sensed the emperor's chilling murderous aura, and none of them dared to breathe loudly, feeling utterly terrified.

Meanwhile, in the harem.

The Empress was in a terrible mood when faced with the greetings from her sisters.

These people all outwardly expressed concern, but in reality, they secretly hoped that something would happen to the King of Chu and the King of Yun.

If something happens to either of them, then as the Empress, she will have no one to rely on.

"Your Majesty, Consort Zhong specially sent Buddhist scriptures, saying that after learning about what happened in the military camp, she specially copied them down to pray for the two princes."

At this moment, the nanny beside the Empress brought in a Buddhist scripture from outside, which was delivered by the nanny from Consort Zhong's palace.

Upon hearing this, the people inside the room all had different expressions.

Since the last incident, Consort Zhong has been under house arrest and has not been released until now. She is really unwilling to let go of any opportunity and is only thinking about getting out!

However, the Empress understood another layer of meaning behind Consort Zhong's words.

This isn't a prayer for blessings; it's clearly a trip to disgust her!

After this incident, she thought it over carefully. It was obvious that this conspiracy was aimed at the King of Chu. Now, the ones who couldn't wait to take action against the King of Chu were naturally the other princes.

And among them... Prince Che was the first to be affected!

"I have accepted the Buddhist scriptures. Let Consort Zhong reflect on her mistakes and learn from them."

The empress calmly accepted the Buddhist scriptures, as if she didn't care about them at all.

Consort Duan's face was the most unpleasant. "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Consort Zhong's little tricks. If such a vicious woman were to come out, who knows what kind of harmful thoughts she might have?"

She even tried to harm you before; who knows how many more she'll harm in the future? All of you sisters must be extremely careful!

Upon hearing this, the other concubines nodded in agreement; none of them wanted such a troublemaker to appear!

However, at this moment, Consort Zhong was indeed very pleased with herself.

She was determined to have Prince Che marry Ling Qian'er because she knew about the Ling family's methods.

As long as the Ling family is willing to help, then Prince Che will have the opportunity to become the crown prince and even the emperor!

Just hearing about what's happening now makes you realize how dangerous it is. If King Chu and King Yun can't get through this, they're finished!

At that time, no one will be a match for King Che!

"So what if the King of Chu has achieved great military exploits over the years? He might not be able to withstand the pressure and die this time!"

Consort Zhong's eyes were filled with smugness. "This time, both the Prince of Chu and the Prince of Yun will die together. I want to see if the Empress can still laugh then!"

And then there's Song Ruozhen, who refused to listen to reason and ended up having to suffer the consequences. If it weren't for her, my plan would have succeeded smoothly!

Thinking about the cold treatment she had received since being confined, how could she not feel resentment?

In the palace, all the punished and out-of-favor concubines are treated like this. Now even their most basic food, clothing and daily necessities are being cut back, and the things sent to them are the worst!

How could she possibly swallow this insult!

If she just waits a little longer until Prince Che achieves merit, she will be able to leave!

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. His Highness Prince Che has always been filial and will definitely find a way to help you out of this predicament."

Consort Zhong nodded. "Of course. As long as you are all loyal, I will not treat you unfairly after I leave!"

However, just as Consort Zhong was happily looking forward to watching the show in a few days, the eunuch suddenly rushed over in a hurry.

"My Lady, something terrible has happened!"

Consort Zhong was startled, and the cup in her hand slipped and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"what happened?"
