Transmigrating into a book to save her best friend, her sickly husband vies for her affections every

Zhao Fu'er really wanted to crack open Zhao Sicong's head and see what was inside.

Is that thing around her neck a decorative piece?

He's clearly older than her and has several more years of life ahead of him, so why does he think such absurd things!

“I am your aunt, I am your elder, why should I watch my words? Your wife wants to kill you, just for that reason, the Yan family is guilty of treason and can be executed, but you insist on protecting her!”

No matter how noisy it is outside, Zhao Fu'er and Zhao Sicong are still the closest of blood relatives.

She definitely preferred hanging out with Zhao Siwei, and she could swear to God that she had cleaned up his messes countless times. Just like when he was handling political affairs, he could never do things perfectly, and every single time, she had to smooth things over for him from beginning to end!

I think it's best not to show off too much, otherwise Zhao Sicong and the Yan family will wonder what she's thinking.

That's great! It really makes Zhao Sicong feel like he's about to fly to the sky with his intelligence!

"Do you even know your own surname? You still dare to threaten me with your status as the Crown Prince? Let me tell you, if it weren't for Zhao Siwei's kind heart and desire to protect your position as Crown Prince, knowing that you would die if you weren't the Crown Prince, he would be in trouble no matter what. You should just shut up for now."

Who has the hardest job in this?

Isn't that Zhao Siwei?

Who doesn't know that he gave Zhang Zhan to Zhao Sicong?

Now things are really messed up. The Yan family has suddenly started a rebellion, and it really is a rebellion. But will outsiders believe it?

They will only become more convinced that it was Zhao Siwei and Zhang Zhan who plotted against them!

Would outsiders believe that the Crown Princess was responsible for Zhao Sicong's injury?

They probably also believe that Zhao Siwei and Zhang Zhan did it together!

With her appearance, it's now widely believed that they're working together to force the emperor to abdicate!

How to handle it became a matter of life and death.

Zhao Sicong must be protected.

Zhao Sicong wanted to reassure the Yan family of their safety.

What kind of situation is this?

She also asked Zhao Siwei what she planned to say to Zhao Fucang.

Zhao Siwei simply replied that he didn't know and that they would talk about it later.

Even if they just tough it out.

All she knew was that Zhao Siwei wanted to protect the Yan family.

As for what Zhao Sicong exchanged, that remains unclear.

Zhao Fu'er didn't want to say anything more and got up to leave, but Zhao Sicong grabbed her hand.

"Zhao Fu'er, I want to see the Crown Princess. Please call her here for me."

"You are the Crown Prince, the heir apparent, the foundation of your kingdom. Who dares to disobey you?" Zhao Fu'er tried to shake off his hand. He was truly an incompetent fool, a complete idiot who was being praised to death by the Yan family.

Zhao Sicong clutched her chest. "Auntie, please help me."

Zhao Fu'er gritted his teeth. Even in this state, he still wanted to see women? How could the royal family produce such a philanderer?

"Get out of my way." He threw away Zhao Sicong's hand.

"Zhao Fu'er".

Zhao Sicong called her again.

When they finally reached the door, Zhao Fu'er gave in. "Lie down. You can die if you want, but don't die in front of me. Wait for Zhao Siwei to come before you die."

Stepping outside, Zhao Fu'er instructed her maid, "When the Crown Princess arrives, you stand next to those two. If she dares to flatter that idiot, have her chopped off."

The maid let out a sound of surprise.

Zhao Fu'er was also furious. "What? Do it my way! Zhao Sicong is an idiot, but don't be an idiot yourself. And where are they? Why isn't any of them here?"

The maid Jing'er, who followed behind, whispered, "Mr. Zhong is dead, and Zhang Zhan is handling the matter. The Ninth Prince is kneeling outside the Xuanzheng Hall. What should we do now?"

Zhao Fu'er sighed, "Zhong Youling is dead? What kind of scheme is this? Isn't this Xiangrun, Zhao Siwei's nephew? Oh well, it has little to do with her."

"Go and fetch the Crown Princess first."

Jing'er responded with a soft "Eh."

Soon, Crown Princess Yan Yuelan was helped into the house.

She had lost her baby, but it was saved. However, she then assassinated the crown prince. No matter what happens to the Yan family in the future, she is not going to survive.

Of course, if the crown prince who was assassinated insisted on protecting him, that would be a different story.

Yan Yuelan was too weak to stand, and when the maid let go, she fell to the ground, wincing in pain.

A pair of hands reached out, forcing her to raise her chin. Their eyes met, and Yan Yuelan's eyes flashed with hatred.

Zhao Sicong was stunned by the hatred in that look.

hatred?

why?

"Crown Princess, haven't I treated you well?" Zhao Sicong looked at the maid beside him. "Get out of here, and don't tell me that Zhao Fu'er sent you to spy on the Crown Prince."

The maid remained unmoved.

Zhao Sicong said coldly, "Get out! Don't make me say it a second time! If anything really happens to me, Zhao Fu'er won't live! She can't even get up now, what can she do to me! I need to ask her some questions, and the Crown Prince wants you to supervise his interrogation of the prisoner? The only one who can order me is His Majesty! Otherwise, you can force me to see His Majesty right now!"

The maid was so frightened that she had no choice but to leave.

It's quiet now.

Zhao Sicong felt a pain in his chest and had difficulty breathing.

Yan Yuelan propped herself up and looked at him with a smile, not understanding why Zhao Sicong had summoned him.

He finally had a child, but Zhao Sicong didn't look happy. Instead, he suppressed the news and even warned her in a cold tone that she must not let the Yan family know.

Our marriage has come to an end today; there's nothing we can't say.

"His Highness married me just to appease the Yan family. The Yan family hasn't even made a move yet, but His Highness has already taken action. He said that for my sake and the child's sake, without the Yan family, there would be no Crown Princess like me. You gave me this child because I'm smart, didn't you?"

It was all her doing.

“His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t like me at all. He just felt that since the child had come, he accepted him. You accepted the child, not me.”

From beginning to end, Zhao Sicong never loved him.

Admittedly, she knew that there was no love in the royal family, only an exchange of interests, and that her becoming the Crown Princess was the hope of the Yan family.

Zhao Sicong doesn't love her, but he treats her very well.

But people are greedy; she wanted a little bit of love.

No, not at all.

Zhao Sicong stared at her blankly.

"I know how good His Highness the Crown Prince has been to me all these years. I am the only woman in the Eastern Palace. Later, your interest in Ji Anzhi was just to get the Sun family. The day you risked your reputation to force yourself on Ji Anzhi, wasn't it just to use Ji Anzhi's unwillingness as a way to give the Sun family a warning? That way, even if Ji Anzhi really becomes a concubine, you can still suppress her..."

"Your Highness once loved me. Back then, if I hadn't schemed against you, you probably would have listened to Madam and wouldn't have wanted me."

Yan Yuelan's eyes were brimming with tears. "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I was the one who ordered your strategist to approach Yuezhu. I knew all this, so I lied to the Crown Prince and asked him to leave the Yan family alone..."

We can't let her cause trouble for the Yan family.

Zhao Sicong also laughed, "This matter is no longer something I can stop or control. I want to protect you, but I don't have the ability to do anything about the others. Not to mention me, even Zhao Siwei doesn't dare to act recklessly now. Do you know how many people are involved?"

"Your Yan family has committed treason! You have truly committed treason! The Yan family is my maternal family, and my mother's surname is also Yan. What do you want from me? Do you want me to collapse? I don't even know if you're helping Zhao Siwei or Zhang Zhan. I don't care if you have ulterior motives. Whether I become emperor or not is none of my business, but at least you can't court death!"

He is a prince, and as long as he does not commit any major treason, he cannot be deposed!

As long as he remains in power, even if he doesn't ultimately inherit the throne, the Yan family will be fine as long as they behave themselves.

just now……

He was truly grateful that he had taken the initiative to ask Zhao Siwei for cooperation back at the hunting grounds, and now Zhao Siwei was working with him to suppress the matter.

"Your Highness can do it, Your Highness will definitely find a way. Just abandon me, since you never liked me in the first place."

Seeing that she had calmed down, Zhao Sicong, panting, said, "You are my wife, and of course I will protect you. I told you from the moment you entered the door that you are yourself and don't need to care about what the Yan family wants you to do or what the Empress Dowager wants you to do."

“It’s not that I don’t want to have children with you, but I don’t want my children to become like their father. You are the only mistress of the Eastern Palace. I said years ago that I don’t need you to arrange concubines for me, but you still sent your sister to the Eastern Palace. So I will avoid it.”

“Every time I tell you not to associate with the Yan family, you insist that you don’t like them…”

Seeing that Yan Yuelan remained silent, Zhao Sicong heard a muffled groan beside him and immediately called out, "Someone, someone!"

Yan Yuelan bit her tongue and committed suicide!

**

Xuanzheng Hall.

Tinglan looked at Zhao Siwei kneeling inside; he was still wearing the same armor.

As for what happened last night, she roughly knew.

But Zhao Siwei would have a solution, and Zhang Zhan was there too, so it wasn't her place to say anything.

She was waiting here, just waiting for one person.

Consort Xian.

Consort Xian has finally arrived.

He's been kneeling for most of the day; that's his own son, how could he not feel sorry for him?

When Tingyao saw Consort Xian arrive, she took the initiative to go up to her.

The palace maid beside Consort Xian glanced at Tingyao and said, "Your Highness, you should also pay your respects to our mistress."

Tingyao didn't move. "Wasn't Your Highness imprisoned? Why did you come out?"

Consort Xian is absolutely uncontrollable, not to mention everyone knows her status in Zhao Fucang's heart. If she really wants to cause trouble, what can the guards do?

Tingyao: "Is Your Majesty defying the imperial decree? His Majesty is already angry with the Ninth Prince, are you going to add fuel to the fire?"

"If you were any useful, would I have come? Why did I marry you when you're completely useless...?"

Seeing that Consort Xian dared not speak further, Tingyao asked, "What if... what if you had married Xu Tutu? Would everything have been fine then?"

She wanted Consort Xian to come out, she wanted Consort Xian to defy the imperial decree.

Zhao Fucang is the most suitable person to deal with Consort Xian.

There was no need to investigate. No, Consort Xian probably didn't even take her seriously and never even considered hiding it.

An investigation revealed that she had arranged for someone to deliver a letter to the old woman serving Xu Tutu, and Xu Tutu's people then delivered the letter to the Sun family.

“You're the one who harmed my grandmother,” Tinglan said firmly.

Consort Xian was about to go in when Tingyao stopped her, saying, "Your Highness, going there now will only harm the Ninth Prince. It's better not to go."

"Then what can you do?"

“What can I do? I’m just an orphan who has just lost my grandmother. I’m just standing at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall. His Majesty always takes pity on me and lets you go. But now that you’ve come, it’s no use no matter how long I stand here.”

It's true. Even though she's incredibly sad and heartbroken right now, she knows that if Zhao Siwei continues kneeling there, and something really happens, she'll be the jinx.

These two words, falling on my head, are more deadly than any seductive words from my past life.

So she stood there, hoping Zhao Fucang would take pity on her.

Her only support now is her husband, Zhao Siwei.

Of course, she was more hoping that Consort Xian would come.

If she had stayed kneeling outside, Zhao Siwei would probably have gotten up long ago.

So she just stood there, simply to tell everyone that she was pitiful.

Consort Xian's spies will tell her all this, which will make her even more anxious.

Consort Xian pushed Tingyao away, "Get out of here! You wait! If I go to the imperial mausoleum to guard it, I'll make you come with me to serve me! You're more trouble than you're worth! If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't be like this!"

Tingyao let her push her and sat down on the ground.

Shishi sensed Tingyao's gaze and immediately cried out, "Your Highness, what happened! Where did you fall!"

Ruyi also raised her voice, "Why did Your Highness push our Lady? It's because the Ninth Prince's refusal to choose Xu Tutu goes against your wishes, so you want to kill our Lady!"

Tingyao rubbed her palm on the ground, concealed by her sleeve, a subtle movement that no one would notice.

"Tingyao!" Zhao Siwei ran out and helped her up. Seeing Tingyao's scraped hands, he felt even more heartache.

Tingyao didn't speak, she just turned her head away.

"Mother Consort," Zhao Siwei looked at Consort Xian, "Shouldn't you be reflecting on your mistakes in seclusion? Why are you here! Take your mother back!"

"Your Highness, His Majesty has invited you and Consort Xian inside."

The eunuch who came out walked over and bowed to Tingyao, "Ninth Imperial Consort, please go back to the palace to rest. His Majesty said that the gossip outside is all out of jealousy that you have found a good husband. His Majesty also said that Your Highness can go back and stay for a few days until your grandmother is buried before returning."

Tingyao bowed and expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please remember, you must address His Majesty as Father Emperor."

Tingyao: "Thank you, Father Emperor, for granting my request."

Zhao Siwei: "Tingyao—"

"What are you going to say to her? Go inside and see your father!" Consort Xian pulled her son. "Let's go. Do you want your father to wait for you?"

Tingyao rubbed her head, her steps quickening as she was jolted by the voice broadcast.

Shishi and Ruyi followed.

Tingyao stopped at the corner, leaned against the wall, and instructed Jingzhe, "You stay here and keep watch."

Zhao Fucang will not actually punish Zhao Siwei, but he will teach him a lesson. At this time, Consort Xian, who is standing nearby, will be the best target.

I'm definitely going to visit Consort Xian's imperial mausoleum.

But Zhong Youling's death...

Why did he die?

Zhang Zhan wouldn't do something so stupid.

Could it be that someone silenced him?

crazy?

Zhao Fucang's life is still in Zhong Youling's hands.

Or perhaps, some other plot twist has been triggered.

Zhao Fucang still has to die; only by speeding up the plot of his death can Zhao Siwei rise to power quickly.

Tingyao took a step forward, then suddenly squatted down.

"Is Your Highness feeling unwell?" Shishi asked.

Tingyao bent her knees and said, "Let me squat down for a moment, just for a moment."

How did everything suddenly come together like this?
