Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

Prince Rui is getting old and just wants to go back to retire; he doesn't have the energy to cause trouble.

"Your Majesty has a well-thought-out plan, and this old minister believes that Your Majesty will soon catch the mastermind behind it all."

Prince Rui looked exhausted.

Duke Wei said, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui has been watching over you for as long as you have been unconscious."

Xuanyuan Hongye was somewhat moved upon hearing this, "Uncle, you've worked hard. Go back and rest well."

"This old minister will take his leave now." Prince Rui rose and departed.

Once outside the Emperor's palace, Prince Rui became quite carefree.

"Pass down the word that His Majesty is in good health and everything is fine. Those who have nothing better to do should stop coming here."

When Prince Rui's words were relayed, many people breathed a sigh of relief, while others felt that things were not so simple.

Is the emperor already in bad shape? So they're deliberately creating this pretext.

Clearly, that's what the second prince was thinking.

In Consort De's palace.

The Second Prince frowned at Consort De and said, "Mother, what's the use of you chanting Buddhist prayers all day long? If Buddha were to manifest, he would have done so long ago."

"I don't think Father will wake up this time. We should make plans as soon as possible."

Consort De turned the prayer beads in her hand and said, "I am praying for your father. Your father will see the sincerity of my son and me."

"If Father Emperor could see your good qualities, he would have seen them long ago. Why wait until now? Stop deceiving yourself!"

“If you were as favored as Consort Xian, your position as Crown Prince would be a sure thing. Why would I need to go to such lengths to compete for it?”

The second prince harbored immense resentment.

He has such a kind and unassuming mother, so he can't rely solely on her status; he has to earn everything himself.

"Mother, you can continue chanting your Buddha's name here. I'm going back now."

The second prince left in a rage.

The old nanny beside Consort De spoke up, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. The Second Prince just doesn't understand your good intentions. He doesn't know how much you've endured and sacrificed for him over the years, which is why he said such hurtful things to you."

Consort De didn't react much; how could she be angry with her own son?

The old nanny hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness, what if Consort Xian noticed something the other day? Should we...?"

That little palace maid has been dealt with; hopefully nothing will be discovered.

Consort De shook her head. "Let's not act rashly for now, lest we alert the enemy."

Consort Xian was a Noble Consort; how could she not have some tricks up her sleeve to maintain her position for so many years?

After everyone was gone, Consort De looked at the kind-faced Buddha and knelt down again, beginning to chant sutras over and over again.

……

……

In Consort Xian's palace.

"Mother, is Father really alright?" Ten-year-old Xuanyuan Ling asked, resting her chin on her hand.

Consort Xian's daughter, Xuanyuan Ling, was the Emperor's only princess, so she was usually very favored.

"Your father is the Son of Heaven, how could anything happen to him? Don't worry, Prince Rui already said he's awake." Consort Xian slowly took a sip of tea.

If someone is awake, doesn't that mean everything is alright?

As for other things, she wouldn't think about them. She just wanted to live her life peacefully and enjoy her wealth and honor as a concubine.

"Oh, Mother, you're right. I'm going to go play with my third and fourth brothers." Xuan Yuanling said as she ran out.

Consort Xian did not stop her daughter.

She summoned her head maid, Bihu, and said, "Go and ask that boy Xian'an if he still has any of those side dishes that were sent to the palace before. Tell him to bring me some more. I haven't had much of an appetite lately, and those dishes are so delicious."

She couldn't stop thinking about that side dish after she had it last time.

My mood was fine that day, but I never expected to be ruined when I went to the Imperial Garden.

Thinking of a palace maid, Consort Xian casually ordered someone to beat her up, and the news she learned from the result stunned her.

The person is dead...

……

When Gu Nanfeng woke up and saw the roof, he was slightly stunned before flipping himself up in a somersault.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief when she noticed the thing still on her chest.

Hearing a noise outside the door, he immediately grabbed a dagger and became alert.

Old Xu carried in a bowl of thin porridge and showed no surprise when he saw that the person inside was awake.

"You're awake. You're pretty tough, kid. You've suffered such serious injuries, yet you woke up so quickly."

"You... what are you doing here?" Gu Nanfeng asked, somewhat surprised.

So he was incredibly lucky to be saved by his nephew, Jiang Changtian.

"Hey, that's an interesting question. How did I get here? Of course I grew legs and walked here!"

As he spoke, Old Xu placed the porridge on the table, then turned and left.

Looking at the porridge, Gu Nanfeng felt that his death might not be far away, so he actually asked the retired emperor to send him porridge.

But when people are really hungry, they want to die full.

Gu Nanfeng wanted to eat more after finishing his meal, feeling completely empty inside.

Then he pushed open the door and went out.

"Uncle, Uncle, you're awake?"

Gu Bao and Gu Ru were in the courtyard with Aunt Qin when they saw Gu Nanfeng and excitedly spoke up.

Qin Niangzi rolled her eyes. "Who let you out? Your wounds haven't healed yet. Don't you want to live?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Nanfeng felt a sharp pain in his wound and immediately covered it.

Where is Jiang Changtian?

He clearly heard Jiang Changtian's voice just now, so how come it disappeared after he woke up?

Qin Niangzi rolled her eyes. "Of course I'm going to the academy. Do you expect me to stay by your bedside and serve you, my uncle?"

Jiang Changtian has already gone to the academy, leaving them alone at home again.

Lady Qin hadn't had enough fun at the manor yet, but it was a pity she couldn't go anywhere else to play, mainly because she didn't have the money. If she had money, there were plenty of prosperous places in Shengjing.

So she decided to make something to sell.

"I saved your life, do you have anything valuable on you? Quickly hand it over to pay off your debt!"

Qin Niangzi reached out her hand directly.

The person Yunyun saved was no different from the one she saved; both had to pay money anyway, to prevent Gu Nanfeng from using family ties to avoid paying.

The whole family takes making money as their mission.

"You saved me?" Gu Nanfeng stared blankly at Qin Niangzi.

He doesn't feel that way.

Qin Niangzi said, "Yes, I was the one who changed your dressing when you were unconscious. You can't just pull up your pants and then deny it."

Gu Nanfeng blushed completely.

He had a wound on his thigh, and if he wanted to apply medicine, he would either have to cut his trouser leg or take his trousers off.

It's obvious that the pants are still on her legs and perfectly fine, so there's only one possibility.

Thinking about the possible identity of the person in front of him, Gu Nanfeng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

That's it, he might really be dead.

"Look at you, so spineless! You're a grown man, and you're the one who's been taken advantage of? I don't even feel like I've been taken advantage of!"

Madam Qin rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and pay up, don't even think about getting away with this!"

Gu Nanfeng searched his pockets thoroughly before realizing that his money pouch was nowhere to be found.

His trusted confidants were not around, so he could only awkwardly look at Madam Qin.

"You have no money?"

Qin Niangzi understood from that look.

He spat immediately, "If I'd known you had no money, I would have left you in the livestock shed."

After Qin Niangzi finished speaking, her eyes darted around, and she felt that the old man might be lying. Suddenly, she reached out and decided to search him herself.

Gu Nanfeng saw her tugging at his clothes, and was so frightened that he fainted again.
