After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

"This Imperial Concubine looks down on a woman of commoner origin. She thinks it's fine for Nangong Fengyao to play around, but he must not fall in love with her. She already has someone in mind for the future imperial consort."

But Nangong Fengyao was very stubborn and only wanted to be with Wu Qingzi. Wu Qingzi also could not accept a man having multiple wives and concubines. Nangong Fengyao promised him that he would only marry her in the future.

He knew that Wu Qingzi's wish was to become a female official, so he did not stop her from going down that path.

In order not to delay her path to success, few people knew about her secret engagement with Nangong Fengyao.

The Imperial Concubine somehow found out that her son was going to a banquet in mid-spring, and even if she tied him up, he wouldn't go.

At this moment, the Imperial Concubine realized that something was wrong.

How could her son, as a prince, become like this for a woman? It would be a disgrace to the royal family.

But she didn't do anything to harm Wu Qingzi, knowing that if she did, she would lose her son.

So she found an opportunity to invite Wu Qingzi into the palace, hoping to use this opportunity to give her a warning.

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground with her head down, she sipped her tea while subtly observing the woman on the ground.

She was neither arrogant nor humble, calm and composed, with delicate features. Born into a commoner family, she was quite remarkable. No wonder she won Liu'er's heart. However, their social statuses were ultimately incompatible, and Liu'er could never bring herself to like such a woman.

"Here is a box of gold ingots. Leave my son, all of these are yours." Before saying these words, the Imperial Concubine had given her a good talking-to, thinking that she should have some sense, before she said these words.

Kneeling on the ground, Wu Qingzi glanced at the box the eunuch handed her, which he had opened. The gold ingots inside looked gleaming and heavy…

Wu Hualing slammed his hand on the table and changed the subject, "Gentlemen, please guess whether Wu Qingzi accepted this money."

The audience was completely absorbed in the story. Before the storyteller started speaking, they were discussing the princess in private, but now their minds were filled with the story and they forgot that the princess was still upstairs.

“Of course I accepted it. It’s a whole box of gold ingots! Enough to feed generations for several lifetimes! Men can’t compare to money! Even if he’s the sixth prince.”

"If Wu Qingzi doesn't accept this gold ingot, she'll have plenty of money when she becomes an imperial concubine with the help of the Sixth Prince! This money is only temporary."

"Whether she becomes the concubine or not is another matter. Do you think the Imperial Concubine is someone to be trifled with? It would be better to put an end to Nangong Fengyao's hopes and then live a carefree life with this money. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

"What if she accepts Nangong Fengyao? Will they really break up? No way! They were so sweet together, and now they have to separate?"

"I definitely won't accept it. How can we continue the story if I do?!"

"Brother, you're absolutely right!"

The person who said this on the first floor received support from most of the people present.

After they had finished speaking, Wu Hualing continued, "Wu Qingzi did not accept this money..."

"Haha, I knew it!"

Unfazed by the sudden interruption, Wu Hualing continued, "As for not accepting the money, she has her reasons, after all, she is still in the Imperial Concubine's palace."

If she were to accept the gold, there's no guarantee that something might happen, since it would be too conspicuous for a commoner woman to carry a box out of the palace.

Moreover, it was mentioned before that Wu Qingzi's ambition was to become a female official. If she really accepted the position, there was no guarantee that her future career would be at risk.

Weighing the pros and cons, giving up this money is the best course of action!

She refused to accept it, which angered the Imperial Concubine, but she simply let her go.

Wu Qingzi had just stepped out of the Imperial Concubine's palace when Nangong Fengyao came to meet her, his face full of anxiety, fearing that she would be troubled by his mother.

However, Wu Qingzi did not tell him directly what the Imperial Concubine had said to her. She only said that the Imperial Concubine had asked her to catch up, and then they left the palace together.

However, a few days later, Wu Qingzi discovered that two of her friends' families had suffered misfortunes one after another. She knew this was not a coincidence, but a warning from the Imperial Concubine. She could not let the people around her suffer undeserved disasters.

She took the initiative to leave with Nangong Fengyao.

Nangong Fengyao didn't understand and questioned her why. She only said that she didn't like him anymore because he was childish and domineering, and she couldn't stand him anymore.

They broke up not long after they confirmed their feelings for each other.

Not long after they parted, her friend's family gradually recovered. Even though she was sad, she could only deliberately avoid Nangong Fengyao in the courtyard.

Nangong Fengyao was heartbroken and depressed, but fortunately, he had several brothers by his side.

But Dongfang Shu knew things weren't that simple, though he still wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly before speaking to Nangong Fengyao.

Unexpectedly, before Dongfang Shu could find out the truth, Nangong Fengyao got into trouble.

It turned out that Nangong Fengyao was too sad, so he thought of going to the imperial palace to get some fresh air. He rode to the palace alone, but a sudden rainstorm occurred on the way, and he unfortunately fell into the valley.

They sent many people to search for him before finally finding Nangong Fengyao, who was seriously injured and unconscious.

Dongfang Shu told Wu Qingzi about this, and Wu Qingzi panicked instantly. She wanted to go see Nangong Fengyao, but when she was about to rush out the door, Dongfang Shu grabbed her.

'He's lying in the palace now; how can you possibly go in?'

Yes, she was just a commoner, and the imperial palace was only for members of the royal family. No matter how worried she was about him, she could never force her way in.

However, Dongfang Shu said he had a way to get her in to see him.

Wu Qingzi looked at him gratefully.

Seeing Wu Qingzi's understanding of Eastern techniques, he directly asked her, "Feng Yao said you don't like him anymore, is that a lie? Is it because someone threatened you?"

Wu Qingzi remained silent for a while before admonishing him, 'Sometimes you shouldn't know so much about techniques.'

Then came a long silence, before he said, "I understand."

They didn't talk any more.

Dongfang Shu used some unknown method to disguise her as a eunuch delivering medicine.

At that moment, the imperial concubine was not in the room; only a few eunuchs were present.

Wu Qingzi looked at the unconscious person on the bed, but she held back her tears, lowered her head, and could only look at him for a moment before taking the tray and leaving.

After that, she never saw him again, and she silently prayed in her heart that he would recover soon.

Nangong Fengyao was unconscious for three days before waking up.

But when she woke up, everyone in the palace was terrified! Especially the Imperial Concubine.

Because Nangong Fengyao hit his head after falling to the bottom of the valley, he developed amnesia and can't remember anyone or anything, not even himself!

"No way! What about our Qingzi?"

"Can this disease be cured?! Will I be like this for the rest of my life?"

"What should I do? I'm starting to feel sad. Why is their fate so tragic? I just want them to be together, why is it so difficult?" This is the lament of a broken woman from ancient times.
