Xinghe was so frightened that her scalp went numb. She screamed and called the nanny on duty in the women's courtyard.
Xinghe looked at her helplessly and shook his head, "Are you doing this to yourself just so that your master can't get rid of you?"
The emperor was still thinking: "It was said that it was knocked down by safflower, how did it become dropped?"
After thinking about it all night, I felt dizzy. The next day, when I went to the government office to do my work, I received a secret order from my superiors to investigate the Minister of Revenue, Gui Fohai. The two wars between the north and the south had emptied the treasury and exposed it to everyone. When a poor family can't make ends meet, they can still ask for money from their rich relatives. If a country has no money and no food, who will help you? There have been no major construction projects or disasters in the past two years, and the money and food have disappeared. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue used several piles of unresolved accounts to cover up the matter. The prince couldn't stand it anymore and decided to dig out the old silt in the pond.
Everyone was stunned. There had been many disturbances in the palace recently, and many lives had been lost in a short time. Now, looking at Shangguan Shizhong, although he still had half his life left, it was actually not much different from being dead.
She had seen blood flowing like a river, which was too common for people walking in the Control Rong Division. But Yinchen was different from those people. She was a delicate girl, and her small body had bled so much that she felt that her blood might have been drained out.
In fact, it is easy to understand. The position of the inner lady of the Prince's Eastern Palace is the same as the official position of the outer court. Sometimes you can buy an official position if you have money and connections. Of course, the purchased official position is not so precious, and it is exchanged. So in Yinchen's eyes, the position of Liangdi is not much different from that of Shizhong. Maybe it's just that the color of the official uniform is different.
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
The prince lied without blushing or breathing heavily. He said, "The imperial safflower is a banned drug. Who is so bold as to prescribe it? I made a vow to my father after the New Year, saying that I would give him a grandson this year. I never expected that this would not happen. I have been sad for several days. If my father wants to blame me, I will admit it. But if I listen to the slander of the villain, I will be wronged."
Xinghe took the blame again, but her reputation had always been bad, so she didn't care about this additional blame.
She had just suffered and was still in confinement, so the prince knew he shouldn't get angry with her. He had no choice but to tolerate her scolding and went back to Lizheng Palace.
The prince sighed again.
Everyone worked together to lift her onto the kang. The room was in a mess and no one seemed to know what to do.
There was silver frost on the blue sky, but it wasn't real frost. In this early summer, the frost had long disappeared. There was only the incessant chirping of insects, from under the wall, in the grass, in the cracks of the bricks... they kept pouring out the summer heat, sounding frustrated.
Xinghe was embarrassed by her words, but couldn't help crying. This kid, is he thinking about this all day? He is so focused on being with her that he has even prevented any unpleasantness that may happen in the future, just hoping to get along with her without any grudges.
In fact, it is easy to understand. The position of the inner lady of the Prince's Eastern Palace is the same as the official position of the outer court. Sometimes you can buy an official position if you have money and connections. Of course, the purchased official position is not so precious, and it is exchanged. So in Yinchen's eyes, the position of Liangdi is not much different from that of Shizhong. Maybe it's just that the color of the official uniform is different.
She called her softly, "Yinchen..."
"Minister..." The maid who was sent to serve her closely was so anxious that she burst into tears. Of course, it was not entirely because of her uncertainty about life or death, but also because of her own future. She wiped her tears and tried to excuse herself, "She was fine when I left yesterday, why is she so..."
Yinchen's hands were cold, and if there was no pulse in her neck, one would have thought she was dead. Xinghe held her hand with all his heart, caressing her while calling her: "Open your eyes and say something. Tell your sister if you are unhappy. I will help you. You are still young, how can you be so confused..."
The doctor shook his head, "The vitality has been dissipated, it's too late to replenish it now." Then he went to look at the medicine, "Such a heavy dose... The minister is too hard on himself."
She remained silent, and Xinghe couldn't stop sobbing.
"Why are you so stupid?" Xinghe even felt guilty towards her. "How can I face you after you do this?"
Sometimes people do things not necessarily for their own benefit, but just to make their opponents uncomfortable. When Empress Hui complained to the emperor, she wanted Shangguan Yin to bear the crime of killing Prince Xin's posthumous son, and she also implied that Xinghe was jealous and intolerant. Fortunately, the prince took the blame and was only awarded a position in the end, avoiding other losses.
Xinghe looked at her helplessly and shook his head, "Are you doing this to yourself just so that your master can't get rid of you?"
Xinghe turned his head and gave her a fierce look, "He crawled off the bed and onto the floor, but you didn't hear the noise. Did he fall into a deep sleep? If the waiter has any orders, you should just follow him and serve him."
Actually, Haozizhua is his lucky general, but if this lucky general doesn't covet his queen all day long in the future, everything will be perfect.
Xu Tuzhi said: "It cannot stand the wind, so it was carried directly into the palace in a sedan chair."
She sat in the armchair and slowly let out a long sigh: "Pass the order down, let Xu Xingzhi and Jin Ci strictly guard the Anli Gate and the Neizhong Gate. Don't let your guard down for a moment before the Queen gives birth to the prince."
The prince sighed again.
Xu Tuzhi said: "It cannot stand the wind, so it was carried directly into the palace in a sedan chair."
The prince sighed again.
She sniffed and found that although the breath was weak, it was not over yet. She really hated these inexperienced servants. She shouted at them: "What are you still standing there for? Go and call the imperial physician!"
Xu Tuzhi said: "It cannot stand the wind, so it was carried directly into the palace in a sedan chair."
She sniffed and found that although the breath was weak, it was not over yet. She really hated these inexperienced servants. She shouted at them: "What are you still standing there for? Go and call the imperial physician!"
"When Prince Xin was in mourning, I said that Shangguan Shizhong should do her part, but she insisted that she was not involved. No one can do anything about it. What's the matter with the child coming now? If it's the prince's, then he is the eldest grandson of our Dayin. How could he be gone? Or is it because of Lord Su? This matter should be reported to the emperor. We can't just let it go like this."
Dequan felt very sorry for his master's situation, holding his whisk and saying, "The minister is just a fool, don't bother with her. Just look at her attitude, it's as if Lord Su is hers. This method, ugh... If you were a man, you would be powerless to resist."
Xinghe knelt on the ground and just accepted the training. After all, she had to protect Yinchen. If the higher-ups knew that she had beaten Prince Xin's child, what would happen then
She said, "I visited him several times and he said he was seriously ill and couldn't see me. How did he come to the palace?"
But she didn't reply to her. Xinghe couldn't help but vent his anger on the prince at this moment. If he had spoken with more mercy, he wouldn't have forced her into this.
Xinghe turned his head and gave her a fierce look, "He crawled off the bed and onto the floor, but you didn't hear the noise. Did he fall into a deep sleep? If the waiter has any orders, you should just follow him and serve him."
The emperor was still thinking: "It was said that it was knocked down by safflower, how did it become dropped?"
Everyone finally came to their senses, and those who were looking for the imperial physician ran out of the house, while the rest of the people began to clean up the bloodstains and change the bedding. The bloodstains seemed to be diluted when they touched the water, and a puff of fishy smell filled the whole room. Xinghe felt a dull pain in his heart, blaming the child for being too stupid. Because of this incident, he knew that the fate that was tied together could not be changed.
The prince could only find some comfort from him. He patted Dequan on the shoulder and said, "Listen, from now on, whenever Lord Su and I are together, you must keep a close eye on Mouse Claw and don't let her go out. This lawless person dares to break into my bedroom when she gets angry."
Xinghe took the blame again, but her reputation had always been bad, so she didn't care about this additional blame.
She sniffed and found that although the breath was weak, it was not over yet. She really hated these inexperienced servants. She shouted at them: "What are you still standing there for? Go and call the imperial physician!"
Dequan smiled, "Of course, our master is jealous of the young girl, right? But this Mouse Claw is cruel and ruthless, and is really not a good person. Doctor Weng almost cried when he talked about this. He said that fortunately the master did not blame him. After checking the pulse that day, you and the others started arguing in front of him. At that time, he knew that the child was from Prince Xin. At night, Mouse Claw went to the Imperial Medical Bureau of the East Palace and asked them for safflower, saying that the prince agreed. No one should get involved in this kind of thing, after all, she had slept with you before. Now that she has come back, it is still you and your ex, and it is not right for her to be pregnant with someone else's child. He gave the medicine to her and told her the dosage, but she didn't expect that she would boil it all at once. Fortunately, God blessed her and no one died, otherwise it would be a big deal."
"When Prince Xin was in mourning, I said that Shangguan Shizhong should do her part, but she insisted that she was not involved. No one can do anything about it. What's the matter with the child coming now? If it's the prince's, then he is the eldest grandson of our Dayin. How could he be gone? Or is it because of Lord Su? This matter should be reported to the emperor. We can't just let it go like this."
She called her softly, "Yinchen..."
The Military Control Department was originally responsible for the emperor's orders, so if they wanted to investigate, then let's do it. Xinghe was sitting in the hall assigning people, and Xu Tuzhi came in to deal with it. Seeing that there were so many people, he stepped aside for the time being. After everyone left, he lowered his voice and said, "Sir, Princess Yanling has entered the palace."
Dequan scratched his head, "I have to think of a way to please her. I was too arrogant and thought she didn't have the luck to be with you. I used to give her a hard time. Now she has become a cicada, so I have to give in. Let's just let the old things go, otherwise if she asks me to clean the official rooms in the Northeast No. 5 Institute, I have to obey her orders, right?"
But she didn't reply to her. Xinghe couldn't help but vent his anger on the prince at this moment. If he had spoken with more mercy, he wouldn't have forced her into this.
As expected, the emperor's father spoke up, "Now that things have come to this, give her a legitimate status. Her father and I have been friends for decades. If the child becomes like this, Shangguan Shi will not be able to explain herself to him."
Yinchen knew she was talking about the queen, and sneered, "I don't have as big a heart as others, so I can't be the queen." As he spoke, he put his arms around Xinghe and whispered in her ear with some grievance, "Sister, I like you so much."
"Why are you so stupid?" Xinghe even felt guilty towards her. "How can I face you after you do this?"
Sometimes people do things not necessarily for their own benefit, but just to make their opponents uncomfortable. When Empress Hui complained to the emperor, she wanted Shangguan Yin to bear the crime of killing Prince Xin's posthumous son, and she also implied that Xinghe was jealous and intolerant. Fortunately, the prince took the blame and was only awarded a position in the end, avoiding other losses.
The prince secretly curled his lips. Look at this deep sense of justice. It is more than touching! In the end, he has to bear the consequences of the deal they made.
Xinghe turned around and smiled, "I've been thinking the same thing these past few days. The only family Prince Min can rely on is ours, and he's indecisive. If he supports a master like this, he'll become a noble, but if he loses, his head will be in danger. To put it bluntly, I wasn't ruthless enough at the time. If I had held back my anger, wouldn't the matter have been settled? My brother tried to get him started the other day, but he deliberately avoided the topic and didn't respond at all. I'm talking to him in detail now, and his attitude is nothing more than two points. One, let me follow him, and two, let the Su family retire. What's there to talk about?"
Yinchen's hands were cold, and if there was no pulse in her neck, one would have thought she was dead. Xinghe held her hand with all his heart, caressing her while calling her: "Open your eyes and say something. Tell your sister if you are unhappy. I will help you. You are still young, how can you be so confused..."
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
She sniffed and found that although the breath was weak, it was not over yet. She really hated these inexperienced servants. She shouted at them: "What are you still standing there for? Go and call the imperial physician!"
She had seen blood flowing like a river, which was too common for people walking in the Control Rong Division. But Yinchen was different from those people. She was a delicate girl, and her small body had bled so much that she felt that her blood might have been drained out.
Everyone finally came to their senses, and those who were looking for the imperial physician ran out of the house, while the rest of the people began to clean up the bloodstains and change the bedding. The bloodstains seemed to be diluted when they touched the water, and a puff of fishy smell filled the whole room. Xinghe felt a dull pain in his heart, blaming the child for being too stupid. Because of this incident, he knew that the fate that was tied together could not be changed.
"Won't you miss your child?"
The prince looked at his unwilling but helpless expression and laughed unkindly: "Emperor Liu has also suffered this day!"
Yinchen knew she was talking about the queen, and sneered, "I don't have as big a heart as others, so I can't be the queen." As he spoke, he put his arms around Xinghe and whispered in her ear with some grievance, "Sister, I like you so much."
She remained silent, and Xinghe couldn't stop sobbing.
Yinchen said, "This is not a solution. We need to find a way out."
Yes, fortunately no one died. The last case of a minister falling into a well was closed as suicide. If this one dies inexplicably again, it’s not because I’m afraid of any unusual moves in the Shangguan family, but it’s not pleasant to say, and Xinghe will have to bear the blame for the rest of his life.
The emperor said, "Good, Liangdi is below the Crown Princess, but it is already a very high position. As for who he will leave the position of Crown Princess to, it is probably self-evident."
Rumors began to spread in the palace that Lord Su was intolerant and that even a wealthy man like Shangguan Shizhong could not survive because of her squeezing him out. Lord Su was really too jealous.
But she didn't reply to her. Xinghe couldn't help but vent his anger on the prince at this moment. If he had spoken with more mercy, he wouldn't have forced her into this.
Yinchen had already woken up, and had been leaning against the bed frame drinking blood-replenishing medicine all day. When she heard that she had been canonized as a concubine, she had no reaction. She just kept asking Xinghe, "When will my sister marry the master? Anyway, I have already been canonized, and you can come in and it will be all done."
This love came with a heavy feeling. Xinghe stroked her hair and said, "Don't think about anything right now. Take good care of yourself. You've lost so much weight. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you'll have a root cause of illness in the future."
This matter was so serious that it soon alarmed the crown prince. When he rushed back from the Central Court, the imperial physician also arrived. He hurriedly asked for a diagnosis. The imperial physician said that the patient was deficient in both qi and blood, and needed to regulate breathing and take a lot of supplements. These were actually clichés. Even those who didn't know medicine knew these two sentences. But the following words were surprising. The imperial physician said: "It is a great fortune to be able to keep a life, but the minister has lost a huge amount of money, and the abortion was forced. The foundation is too bad. I am afraid that you will never be able to have a baby again in the future."
"Look, Shangguan Yin has become the number one lady in the Eastern Palace. What do you think?" the prince asked Xinghe.
The prince hung his head and sighed, "This matter... is a long story. My son got drunk and recognized the wrong person. It was not his will. Afterwards, my son planned to take her back, but before I could say anything, Qingfeng had an accident. After she came back, no one took it seriously. If she hadn't dropped the child this time, everyone would have been kept in the dark."
Yinchen knew she was talking about the queen, and sneered, "I don't have as big a heart as others, so I can't be the queen." As he spoke, he put his arms around Xinghe and whispered in her ear with some grievance, "Sister, I like you so much."
Xinghe looked at her helplessly and shook his head, "Are you doing this to yourself just so that your master can't get rid of you?"
She sat in the armchair and slowly let out a long sigh: "Pass the order down, let Xu Xingzhi and Jin Ci strictly guard the Anli Gate and the Neizhong Gate. Don't let your guard down for a moment before the Queen gives birth to the prince."
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
Xinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's so embarrassing about this? It's not embarrassing to tell the world that you want to have a baby when you're in your forties, right?"
This speech made everyone look at each other in bewilderment. Everyone in the deep palace knew what it meant to be infertile. Not to mention the imperial family who valued offspring, even for ordinary families, not being able to have children was considered a violation of the Seven Reasons for Divorce. She was so young, and her life was ruined. No one dared to think about what kind of miserable state she would be in when she woke up.
But this matter was only spread privately, but when it reached the ears of the Queen, she took the opportunity to make a fuss about it.
The prince hung his head and sighed, "This matter... is a long story. My son got drunk and recognized the wrong person. It was not his will. Afterwards, my son planned to take her back, but before I could say anything, Qingfeng had an accident. After she came back, no one took it seriously. If she hadn't dropped the child this time, everyone would have been kept in the dark."
Yinchen smiled and said, "Don't think so. I was worried about how to prove my feelings to you. This child came at the right time. I feel relieved now."
Yinchen looked at her stupidly, "Why should you be reluctant to give up? It will be awkward if the baby is born. Will he inherit his father's title, or become the eldest son of the Crown Prince? Since it's not good either way, it's better not to give birth. Besides, I'm not old at all. It's really embarrassing for me to give birth to a child."
Yinchen had already woken up, and had been leaning against the bed frame drinking blood-replenishing medicine all day. When she heard that she had been canonized as a concubine, she had no reaction. She just kept asking Xinghe, "When will my sister marry the master? Anyway, I have already been canonized, and you can come in and it will be all done."
Yinchen squinted at him and said, "Then don't say anything. I don't want to hear it anyway."
Xinghe asked: "Is there any way to save it? Or some medicine to consolidate the vitality first."
Xinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's so embarrassing about this? It's not embarrassing to tell the world that you want to have a baby when you're in your forties, right?"
The prince lied without blushing or breathing heavily. He said, "The imperial safflower is a banned drug. Who is so bold as to prescribe it? I made a vow to my father after the New Year, saying that I would give him a grandson this year. I never expected that this would not happen. I have been sad for several days.

He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
The doctor shook his head, "The vitality has been dissipated, it's too late to replenish it now." Then he went to look at the medicine, "Such a heavy dose... The minister is too hard on himself."
Yinchen's hands were cold, and if there was no pulse in her neck, one would have thought she was dead. Xinghe held her hand with all his heart, caressing her while calling her: "Open your eyes and say something. Tell your sister if you are unhappy. I will help you.

If a country has no money and no food, who will help you? There have been no major construction projects or disasters in the past two years, and the money and food have disappeared. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue used several piles of unresolved accounts to cover up the matter. The prince couldn't stand it anymore and decided to dig out the old silt in the pond.

Actually, Haozizhua is his lucky general, but if this lucky general doesn't covet his queen all day long in the future, everything will be perfect.
The prince bowed his head and sighed, "When these two get together, it's enough to make me suffer."
In fact, it is easy to understand. The position of the inner lady of the Prince's Eastern Palace is the same as the official position of the outer court. Sometimes you can buy an official position if you have money and connections. Of course, the purchased official position is not so precious, and it is exchanged. So in Yinchen's eyes, the position of Liangdi is not much different from that of Shizhong. Maybe it's just that the color of the official uniform is different.
The prince bowed his head and said, "Yes, my son was confused, and the emperor's father taught me the right thing."
Xinghe could not quite understand her thoughts. Even if she disliked Prince Xin, the child was not only Prince Xin's, but also her own.
Sometimes people do things not necessarily for their own benefit, but just to make their opponents uncomfortable. When Empress Hui complained to the emperor, she wanted Shangguan Yin to bear the crime of killing Prince Xin's posthumous son, and she also implied that Xinghe was jealous and intolerant. Fortunately, the prince took the blame and was only awarded a position in the end, avoiding other losses.
Rumors began to spread in the palace that Lord Su was intolerant and that even a wealthy man like Shangguan Shizhong could not survive because of her squeezing him out. Lord Su was really too jealous.
Dequan smiled, "Of course, our master is jealous of the young girl, right? But this Mouse Claw is cruel and ruthless, and is really not a good person.

Xinghe took the blame again, but her reputation had always been bad, so she didn't care about this additional blame.
There was a bright moon in the sky, and the prince leaned against the stone pillar on the red steps, his profile looked a little sad. Dequan sat on the steps in a cowardly manner, racking his brains to comfort him: "Master, please think about the bright side. Lady Su has not yet agreed to be with you. She and Lady Su have this agreement. Now that she has been promoted, Lady Su must keep his word. In the future, he will have to resign and live with you. Please think more positively, how good it is to have two wives! I know you recognize your family, but you have only had Lord Su from beginning to end, which is not acceptable. There must be someone to take the blame, so that the ministers will not say anything. In the future, you will have a queen and a concubine, and there is no need to distinguish between left and right. One queen and one concubine, how about it, not bad?"
But this matter was only spread privately, but when it reached the ears of the Queen, she took the opportunity to make a fuss about it.
The prince bowed his head and said, "Yes, my son was confused, and the emperor's father taught me the right thing."
Yinchen said, "This is not a solution. We need to find a way out."
The prince's eyes went dark, thinking that he really couldn't get rid of it in this life. Shangguan Yin's strategy was not in line with her age. She made such a big fuss just because she was afraid that he only wanted Xinghe and not her. This alarmed the emperor, and she used the emperor's mouth to force him to submit. It was a good plan, but was it really worth paying such a high price
But this matter was only spread privately, but when it reached the ears of the Queen, she took the opportunity to make a fuss about it.
She remained silent, and Xinghe couldn't stop sobbing.
Rumors began to spread in the palace that Lord Su was intolerant and that even a wealthy man like Shangguan Shizhong could not survive because of her squeezing him out. Lord Su was really too jealous.
The prince looked at his unwilling but helpless expression and laughed unkindly: "Emperor Liu has also suffered this day!"
She nodded, and then said sadly: "It's hard to get off the tiger. The road is getting harder and harder. Blame me."
"When Prince Xin was in mourning, I said that Shangguan Shizhong should do her part, but she insisted that she was not involved. No one can do anything about it. What's the matter with the child coming now? If it's the prince's, then he is the eldest grandson of our Dayin. How could he be gone? Or is it because of Lord Su? This matter should be reported to the emperor. We can't just let it go like this."
Yinchen was able to get out of bed, and he stood behind her, watching her, and said softly, "Sister, tell the master what you are thinking. I know you are worried. There are dozens of people in the family. If things go wrong, they will all be ruined. But the court is reforming now, and he is the regent. The first thing a new official needs to do is to establish his authority. I heard that the Privy Council has set up a Tongzhi and divided the power of the chief and deputy envoys. He is a persistent person. Today, tomorrow, he will give all the military power to your brother sooner or later. Among the four brothers, only Prince Jian could compete with him, but now that he has been reincarnated, Prince Min is a rebellious person. You should talk to him and see how he agrees to you. Otherwise, let your brother lead the troops to guard the border like our family. In the future, he will have outstanding military achievements, which is also a way out. What do you think?"
As expected, the emperor's father spoke up, "Now that things have come to this, give her a legitimate status. Her father and I have been friends for decades. If the child becomes like this, Shangguan Shi will not be able to explain herself to him."
Although no one took her title of Consort seriously, they still had to show respect to her. After all, she was now the number one lady in the Eastern Palace. It was okay to yell at her behind her back, but it was absolutely not allowed to do so in front of her.
She was seen through, and blushed as she said, "In fact, I am not just trying to force him to speak, the most important thing is for you." She smiled, with a faint light in her eyes, "I have known herbs since I was a child, and I know how much to take to eliminate the problem forever. You will be with the prince in the future, and you will inevitably be afraid of me after a long time. As long as I can't have children, I will not be a threat to you. We can be together happily, you love the prince, and I love you, how wonderful it is."
Dequan smiled, "Of course, our master is jealous of the young girl, right? But this Mouse Claw is cruel and ruthless, and is really not a good person. Doctor Weng almost cried when he talked about this. He said that fortunately the master did not blame him. After checking the pulse that day, you and the others started arguing in front of him.

He gave the medicine to her and told her the dosage, but she didn't expect that she would boil it all at once. Fortunately, God blessed her and no one died, otherwise it would be a big deal."
Dequan said with a bashful look, "What's the matter? People say that the girl is the ancestor of the family, and no one can predict how successful she will be in the future. You can make her a concubine, but you didn't say you would give me a Baolin Dang..."
So Xinghe and the prince were both summoned to see the emperor. The emperor was very disappointed with Xinghe's pettiness. Since she had no children, he had always doubted her ability to be the Imperial Guard Envoy.
The prince could only admire Yinchen's actions. He leaned against the floor mask and sighed, "You kid... you are really hard to describe."
The prince could only admire Yinchen's actions. He leaned against the floor mask and sighed, "You kid... you are really hard to describe."
Yinchen knew she was talking about the queen, and sneered, "I don't have as big a heart as others, so I can't be the queen." As he spoke, he put his arms around Xinghe and whispered in her ear with some grievance, "Sister, I like you so much."
Yinchen said, "This is not a solution. We need to find a way out."
The prince's eyes went dark, thinking that he really couldn't get rid of it in this life. Shangguan Yin's strategy was not in line with her age. She made such a big fuss just because she was afraid that he only wanted Xinghe and not her. This alarmed the emperor, and she used the emperor's mouth to force him to submit. It was a good plan, but was it really worth paying such a high price
Rumors began to spread in the palace that Lord Su was intolerant and that even a wealthy man like Shangguan Shizhong could not survive because of her squeezing him out. Lord Su was really too jealous.
Dequan smiled, "Of course, our master is jealous of the young girl, right? But this Mouse Claw is cruel and ruthless, and is really not a good person. Doctor Weng almost cried when he talked about this. He said that fortunately the master did not blame him. After checking the pulse that day, you and the others started arguing in front of him. At that time, he knew that the child was from Prince Xin. At night, Mouse Claw went to the Imperial Medical Bureau of the East Palace and asked them for safflower, saying that the prince agreed. No one should get involved in this kind of thing, after all, she had slept with you before. Now that she has come back, it is still you and your ex, and it is not right for her to be pregnant with someone else's child. He gave the medicine to her and told her the dosage, but she didn't expect that she would boil it all at once. Fortunately, God blessed her and no one died, otherwise it would be a big deal."
Xinghe knelt on the ground and just accepted the training. After all, she had to protect Yinchen. If the higher-ups knew that she had beaten Prince Xin's child, what would happen then
The prince could only find some comfort from him. He patted Dequan on the shoulder and said, "Listen, from now on, whenever Lord Su and I are together, you must keep a close eye on Mouse Claw and don't let her go out. This lawless person dares to break into my bedroom when she gets angry."
Xinghe asked: "Is there any way to save it? Or some medicine to consolidate the vitality first."
Xu Tuzhi said: "It cannot stand the wind, so it was carried directly into the palace in a sedan chair."
The prince, who had been caught in the middle, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "This child is indeed a son, but I didn't notice it before. The night before yesterday, the minister didn't sleep well and fell off the bed, and the child was lost. It has nothing to do with Xinghe."
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
Everyone finally came to their senses, and those who were looking for the imperial physician ran out of the house, while the rest of the people began to clean up the bloodstains and change the bedding. The bloodstains seemed to be diluted when they touched the water, and a puff of fishy smell filled the whole room. Xinghe felt a dull pain in his heart, blaming the child for being too stupid. Because of this incident, he knew that the fate that was tied together could not be changed.
Xinghe took the blame again, but her reputation had always been bad, so she didn't care about this additional blame.
This love came with a heavy feeling. Xinghe stroked her hair and said, "Don't think about anything right now. Take good care of yourself. You've lost so much weight. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you'll have a root cause of illness in the future."
Dequan felt very sorry for his master's situation, holding his whisk and saying, "The minister is just a fool, don't bother with her. Just look at her attitude, it's as if Lord Su is hers. This method, ugh... If you were a man, you would be powerless to resist."
Xu Tuzhi said: "It cannot stand the wind, so it was carried directly into the palace in a sedan chair."
Yinchen knew she was talking about the queen, and sneered, "I don't have as big a heart as others, so I can't be the queen." As he spoke, he put his arms around Xinghe and whispered in her ear with some grievance, "Sister, I like you so much."
Xinghe felt relieved when he admitted it, but the emperor was confused, "You... then why did you send her to Wude Hall? Isn't it because you don't like her that you sent her away?"
She was seen through, and blushed as she said, "In fact, I am not just trying to force him to speak, the most important thing is for you." She smiled, with a faint light in her eyes, "I have known herbs since I was a child, and I know how much to take to eliminate the problem forever. You will be with the prince in the future, and you will inevitably be afraid of me after a long time. As long as I can't have children, I will not be a threat to you. We can be together happily, you love the prince, and I love you, how wonderful it is."
She nodded, and then said sadly: "It's hard to get off the tiger. The road is getting harder and harder. Blame me."
The two of them have been at odds with each other for a long time. Even though she has become his concubine today, their relationship has not eased at all and they still don't get along.
Yinchen smiled and said, "Don't think so. I was worried about how to prove my feelings to you. This child came at the right time. I feel relieved now."
She had seen blood flowing like a river, which was too common for people walking in the Control Rong Division. But Yinchen was different from those people. She was a delicate girl, and her small body had bled so much that she felt that her blood might have been drained out.
The prince hung his head and sighed, "This matter... is a long story. My son got drunk and recognized the wrong person. It was not his will. Afterwards, my son planned to take her back, but before I could say anything, Qingfeng had an accident. After she came back, no one took it seriously. If she hadn't dropped the child this time, everyone would have been kept in the dark."
Yinchen's hands were cold, and if there was no pulse in her neck, one would have thought she was dead. Xinghe held her hand with all his heart, caressing her while calling her: "Open your eyes and say something. Tell your sister if you are unhappy. I will help you. You are still young, how can you be so confused..."
Yes, fortunately no one died. The last case of a minister falling into a well was closed as suicide. If this one dies inexplicably again, it’s not because I’m afraid of any unusual moves in the Shangguan family, but it’s not pleasant to say, and Xinghe will have to bear the blame for the rest of his life.
The prince could only find some comfort from him. He patted Dequan on the shoulder and said, "Listen, from now on, whenever Lord Su and I are together, you must keep a close eye on Mouse Claw and don't let her go out. This lawless person dares to break into my bedroom when she gets angry."
The emperor was annoyed when he heard this. "What a mess!"
The emperor was annoyed when he heard this. "What a mess!"
Xinghe turned his head and gave her a fierce look, "He crawled off the bed and onto the floor, but you didn't hear the noise. Did he fall into a deep sleep? If the waiter has any orders, you should just follow him and serve him."
But she didn't reply to her. Xinghe couldn't help but vent his anger on the prince at this moment. If he had spoken with more mercy, he wouldn't have forced her into this.
There was a bright moon in the sky, and the prince leaned against the stone pillar on the red steps, his profile looked a little sad. Dequan sat on the steps in a cowardly manner, racking his brains to comfort him: "Master, please think about the bright side. Lady Su has not yet agreed to be with you. She and Lady Su have this agreement. Now that she has been promoted, Lady Su must keep his word. In the future, he will have to resign and live with you. Please think more positively, how good it is to have two wives! I know you recognize your family, but you have only had Lord Su from beginning to end, which is not acceptable. There must be someone to take the blame, so that the ministers will not say anything. In the future, you will have a queen and a concubine, and there is no need to distinguish between left and right. One queen and one concubine, how about it, not bad?"
The prince rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just because she is a girl, I won't argue with her. Besides, she saved my life after all. I am kind-hearted, so I will forgive her when I can."
The emperor was annoyed when he heard this. "What a mess!"
The prince bowed his head and said, "Yes, my son was confused, and the emperor's father taught me the right thing."
"Empress Hui's bad habit of talking too much has not been cured to this day." He said as he walked, "A woman like this is not only hateful but also murderous."
The emperor was annoyed when he heard this. "What a mess!"
Xinghe bowed his head and said, "After something like this happened, everyone is unhappy and needs to find someone to vent their anger. I see that the emperor and the master are grieving, and the minister is weak at the moment, so it doesn't matter if I receive a few scoldings."
"When Prince Xin was in mourning, I said that Shangguan Shizhong should do her part, but she insisted that she was not involved. No one can do anything about it. What's the matter with the child coming now? If it's the prince's, then he is the eldest grandson of our Dayin. How could he be gone? Or is it because of Lord Su? This matter should be reported to the emperor. We can't just let it go like this."
The prince secretly curled his lips. Look at this deep sense of justice. It is more than touching! In the end, he has to bear the consequences of the deal they made.
The emperor was still thinking: "It was said that it was knocked down by safflower, how did it become dropped?"
But she didn't reply to her. Xinghe couldn't help but vent his anger on the prince at this moment. If he had spoken with more mercy, he wouldn't have forced her into this.
But this matter was only spread privately, but when it reached the ears of the Queen, she took the opportunity to make a fuss about it.
Rumors began to spread in the palace that Lord Su was intolerant and that even a wealthy man like Shangguan Shizhong could not survive because of her squeezing him out. Lord Su was really too jealous.
Xinghe could not quite understand her thoughts. Even if she disliked Prince Xin, the child was not only Prince Xin's, but also her own.
So Xinghe and the prince were both summoned to see the emperor. The emperor was very disappointed with Xinghe's pettiness. Since she had no children, he had always doubted her ability to be the Imperial Guard Envoy.
The doctor shook his head, "The vitality has been dissipated, it's too late to replenish it now." Then he went to look at the medicine, "Such a heavy dose... The minister is too hard on himself."
Xinghe was so frightened that her scalp went numb. She screamed and called the nanny on duty in the women's courtyard.
The prince lied without blushing or breathing heavily. He said, "The imperial safflower is a banned drug. Who is so bold as to prescribe it? I made a vow to my father after the New Year, saying that I would give him a grandson this year. I never expected that this would not happen. I have been sad for several days. If my father wants to blame me, I will admit it. But if I listen to the slander of the villain, I will be wronged."
Yes, fortunately no one died. The last case of a minister falling into a well was closed as suicide. If this one dies inexplicably again, it’s not because I’m afraid of any unusual moves in the Shangguan family, but it’s not pleasant to say, and Xinghe will have to bear the blame for the rest of his life.
But she smiled and said nothing.
The prince bowed his head and said, "Yes, my son was confused, and the emperor's father taught me the right thing."
Xinghe bowed his head and said, "After something like this happened, everyone is unhappy and needs to find someone to vent their anger. I see that the emperor and the master are grieving, and the minister is weak at the moment, so it doesn't matter if I receive a few scoldings."
She had seen blood flowing like a river, which was too common for people walking in the Control Rong Division. But Yinchen was different from those people. She was a delicate girl, and her small body had bled so much that she felt that her blood might have been drained out.
The prince bowed his head and sighed, "When these two get together, it's enough to make me suffer."
The two of them have been at odds with each other for a long time. Even though she has become his concubine today, their relationship has not eased at all and they still don't get along.
The emperor was left with no other options. He frowned and said, "It's not meant to be. We can't force it." He glanced at Xinghe who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up. I thought you wouldn't do such a thing with your vision. But why don't you defend yourself?"
Actually, Haozizhua is his lucky general, but if this lucky general doesn't covet his queen all day long in the future, everything will be perfect.
The resentment on the prince's face widened again, "You promised Shangguan Yin that you would take her to marry someone else. Now she has become my concubine. I will wait for you next."
Yinchen had already woken up, and had been leaning against the bed frame drinking blood-replenishing medicine all day. When she heard that she had been canonized as a concubine, she had no reaction. She just kept asking Xinghe, "When will my sister marry the master? Anyway, I have already been canonized, and you can come in and it will be all done."
The prince bowed his head and sighed, "When these two get together, it's enough to make me suffer."
Xinghe knelt on the ground and just accepted the training. After all, she had to protect Yinchen. If the higher-ups knew that she had beaten Prince Xin's child, what would happen then

Because of this incident, he knew that the fate that was tied together could not be changed.
There was silver frost on the blue sky, but it wasn't real frost. In this early summer, the frost had long disappeared. There was only the incessant chirping of insects, from under the wall, in the grass, in the cracks of the bricks... they kept pouring out the summer heat, sounding frustrated.
Xinghe bowed his head and said, "After something like this happened, everyone is unhappy and needs to find someone to vent their anger. I see that the emperor and the master are grieving, and the minister is weak at the moment, so it doesn't matter if I receive a few scoldings."

Xinghe took the blame again, but her reputation had always been bad, so she didn't care about this additional blame.
The Military Control Department was originally responsible for the emperor's orders, so if they wanted to investigate, then let's do it. Xinghe was sitting in the hall assigning people, and Xu Tuzhi came in to deal with it. Seeing that there were so many people, he stepped aside for the time being. After everyone left, he lowered his voice and said, "Sir, Princess Yanling has entered the palace."
The emperor was left with no other options. He frowned and said, "It's not meant to be. We can't force it." He glanced at Xinghe who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up. I thought you wouldn't do such a thing with your vision. But why don't you defend yourself?"
She had just suffered and was still in confinement, so the prince knew he shouldn't get angry with her. He had no choice but to tolerate her scolding and went back to Lizheng Palace.
As expected, the emperor's father spoke up, "Now that things have come to this, give her a legitimate status. Her father and I have been friends for decades. If the child becomes like this, Shangguan Shi will not be able to explain herself to him."
There was silver frost on the blue sky, but it wasn't real frost. In this early summer, the frost had long disappeared. There was only the incessant chirping of insects, from under the wall, in the grass, in the cracks of the bricks... they kept pouring out the summer heat, sounding frustrated.

She remained silent, and Xinghe couldn't stop sobbing.
The prince bowed his head and said, "Yes, my son was confused, and the emperor's father taught me the right thing."
The prince could only admire Yinchen's actions. He leaned against the floor mask and sighed, "You kid... you are really hard to describe."
After thinking about it all night, I felt dizzy. The next day, when I went to the government office to do my work, I received a secret order from my superiors to investigate the Minister of Revenue, Gui Fohai. The two wars between the north and the south had emptied the treasury and exposed it to everyone. When a poor family can't make ends meet, they can still ask for money from their rich relatives. If a country has no money and no food, who will help you? There have been no major construction projects or disasters in the past two years, and the money and food have disappeared. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue used several piles of unresolved accounts to cover up the matter. The prince couldn't stand it anymore and decided to dig out the old silt in the pond.
"When Prince Xin was in mourning, I said that Shangguan Shizhong should do her part, but she insisted that she was not involved. No one can do anything about it. What's the matter with the child coming now? If it's the prince's, then he is the eldest grandson of our Dayin. How could he be gone? Or is it because of Lord Su?

Xinghe took the blame again, but her reputation had always been bad, so she didn't care about this additional blame.
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
Dequan blinked his eyes and said, "How can that be possible? You are the master, and you are the one who indulges them, and it is not their turn to bully you."

Everyone worked together to lift her onto the kang. The room was in a mess and no one seemed to know what to do.
This speech made everyone look at each other in bewilderment. Everyone in the deep palace knew what it meant to be infertile. Not to mention the imperial family who valued offspring, even for ordinary families, not being able to have children was considered a violation of the Seven Reasons for Divorce. She was so young, and her life was ruined. No one dared to think about what kind of miserable state she would be in when she woke up.
Xu Tuzhi said: "It cannot stand the wind, so it was carried directly into the palace in a sedan chair."
The emperor was annoyed when he heard this. "What a mess!"
The emperor said, "Good, Liangdi is below the Crown Princess, but it is already a very high position. As for who he will leave the position of Crown Princess to, it is probably self-evident."
There was silver frost on the blue sky, but it wasn't real frost. In this early summer, the frost had long disappeared. There was only the incessant chirping of insects, from under the wall, in the grass, in the cracks of the bricks... they kept pouring out the summer heat, sounding frustrated.
Xinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's so embarrassing about this? It's not embarrassing to tell the world that you want to have a baby when you're in your forties, right?"
The prince looked at his unwilling but helpless expression and laughed unkindly: "Emperor Liu has also suffered this day!"
"Empress Hui's bad habit of talking too much has not been cured to this day." He said as he walked, "A woman like this is not only hateful but also murderous."
She nodded, and then said sadly: "It's hard to get off the tiger. The road is getting harder and harder. Blame me."
Yinchen looked at her stupidly, "Why should you be reluctant to give up? It will be awkward if the baby is born. Will he inherit his father's title, or become the eldest son of the Crown Prince? Since it's not good either way, it's better not to give birth. Besides, I'm not old at all. It's really embarrassing for me to give birth to a child."
She called her softly, "Yinchen..."
Coming out of Lizheng Hall, the prince was in a bad mood. Xinghe asked him to look at the chirping birds on the tree, but he ignored her.
She had seen blood flowing like a river, which was too common for people walking in the Control Rong Division. But Yinchen was different from those people. She was a delicate girl, and her small body had bled so much that she felt that her blood might have been drained out.
Xinghe took the blame again, but her reputation had always been bad, so she didn't care about this additional blame.

The prince secretly curled his lips. Look at this deep sense of justice. It is more than touching! In the end, he has to bear the consequences of the deal they made.
Dequan scratched his head, "I have to think of a way to please her. I was too arrogant and thought she didn't have the luck to be with you. I used to give her a hard time. Now she has become a cicada, so I have to give in. Let's just let the old things go, otherwise if she asks me to clean the official rooms in the Northeast No. 5 Institute, I have to obey her orders, right?"
In fact, it is easy to understand. The position of the inner lady of the Prince's Eastern Palace is the same as the official position of the outer court. Sometimes you can buy an official position if you have money and connections. Of course, the purchased official position is not so precious, and it is exchanged. So in Yinchen's eyes, the position of Liangdi is not much different from that of Shizhong. Maybe it's just that the color of the official uniform is different.
"Empress Hui's bad habit of talking too much has not been cured to this day." He said as he walked, "A woman like this is not only hateful but also murderous."
Yinchen looked at her stupidly, "Why should you be reluctant to give up? It will be awkward if the baby is born. Will he inherit his father's title, or become the eldest son of the Crown Prince?

This matter should be reported to the emperor. We can't just let it go like this."
Sometimes people do things not necessarily for their own benefit, but just to make their opponents uncomfortable. When Empress Hui complained to the emperor, she wanted Shangguan Yin to bear the crime of killing Prince Xin's posthumous son, and she also implied that Xinghe was jealous and intolerant. Fortunately, the prince took the blame and was only awarded a position in the end, avoiding other losses.
The prince sighed again.

"Look, Shangguan Yin has become the number one lady in the Eastern Palace. What do you think?" the prince asked Xinghe.
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
Xinghe turned his head and gave her a fierce look, "He crawled off the bed and onto the floor, but you didn't hear the noise. Did he fall into a deep sleep? If the waiter has any orders, you should just follow him and serve him."

Yes, fortunately no one died. The last case of a minister falling into a well was closed as suicide. If this one dies inexplicably again, it’s not because I’m afraid of any unusual moves in the Shangguan family, but it’s not pleasant to say, and Xinghe will have to bear the blame for the rest of his life.
But she smiled and said nothing.
Xinghe was embarrassed by her words, but couldn't help crying. This kid, is he thinking about this all day? He is so focused on being with her that he has even prevented any unpleasantness that may happen in the future, just hoping to get along with her without any grudges.
Yinchen was able to get out of bed, and he stood behind her, watching her, and said softly, "Sister, tell the master what you are thinking. I know you are worried. There are dozens of people in the family. If things go wrong, they will all be ruined. But the court is reforming now, and he is the regent. The first thing a new official needs to do is to establish his authority. I heard that the Privy Council has set up a Tongzhi and divided the power of the chief and deputy envoys. He is a persistent person. Today, tomorrow, he will give all the military power to your brother sooner or later. Among the four brothers, only Prince Jian could compete with him, but now that he has been reincarnated, Prince Min is a rebellious person. You should talk to him and see how he agrees to you. Otherwise, let your brother lead the troops to guard the border like our family. In the future, he will have outstanding military achievements, which is also a way out. What do you think?"
Dequan blinked his eyes and said, "How can that be possible? You are the master, and you are the one who indulges them, and it is not their turn to bully you."
She remained silent, and Xinghe couldn't stop sobbing.
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
But she smiled and said nothing.
Xinghe was so frightened that her scalp went numb. She screamed and called the nanny on duty in the women's courtyard.
But she smiled and said nothing.
She frowned and calculated that it seemed that the queen's "delivery date" was approaching, and the princess entered the palace for the convenience of operation. At present, no one could be placed in front of the queen, so she could only place her hope on Wen Changyu.
The prince looked at his unwilling but helpless expression and laughed unkindly: "Emperor Liu has also suffered this day!"
The Military Control Department was originally responsible for the emperor's orders, so if they wanted to investigate, then let's do it. Xinghe was sitting in the hall assigning people, and Xu Tuzhi came in to deal with it. Seeing that there were so many people, he stepped aside for the time being. After everyone left, he lowered his voice and said, "Sir, Princess Yanling has entered the palace."
Sometimes people do things not necessarily for their own benefit, but just to make their opponents uncomfortable. When Empress Hui complained to the emperor, she wanted Shangguan Yin to bear the crime of killing Prince Xin's posthumous son, and she also implied that Xinghe was jealous and intolerant. Fortunately, the prince took the blame and was only awarded a position in the end, avoiding other losses.
Xinghe in the side hall stood behind the window sill, fiddling with the amber bracelet he gave her, and looking into the distance at the figure under the moonlight.
Yinchen had already woken up, and had been leaning against the bed frame drinking blood-replenishing medicine all day. When she heard that she had been canonized as a concubine, she had no reaction. She just kept asking Xinghe, "When will my sister marry the master? Anyway, I have already been canonized, and you can come in and it will be all done."
Rumors began to spread in the palace that Lord Su was intolerant and that even a wealthy man like Shangguan Shizhong could not survive because of her squeezing him out. Lord Su was really too jealous.
Dequan felt very sorry for his master's situation, holding his whisk and saying, "The minister is just a fool, don't bother with her. Just look at her attitude, it's as if Lord Su is hers. This method, ugh... If you were a man, you would be powerless to resist."
He glanced at Xinghe, who was looking at him with hope. He made up his mind and said, "Then I will obey the order of my father and make her a concubine."
Xinghe looked at her helplessly and shook his head, "Are you doing this to yourself just so that your master can't get rid of you?"
Xinghe asked: "Is there any way to save it? Or some medicine to consolidate the vitality first."
Xinghe looked at her helplessly and shook his head, "Are you doing this to yourself just so that your master can't get rid of you?"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked by the prince. He said, "Get lost, stop disgusting me."
She was seen through, and blushed as she said, "In fact, I am not just trying to force him to speak, the most important thing is for you." She smiled, with a faint light in her eyes, "I have known herbs since I was a child, and I know how much to take to eliminate the problem forever. You will be with the prince in the future, and you will inevitably be afraid of me after a long time. As long as I can't have children, I will not be a threat to you. We can be together happily, you love the prince, and I love you, how wonderful it is."
The prince could only find some comfort from him. He patted Dequan on the shoulder and said, "Listen, from now on, whenever Lord Su and I are together, you must keep a close eye on Mouse Claw and don't let her go out. This lawless person dares to break into my bedroom when she gets angry."
After thinking about it all night, I felt dizzy. The next day, when I went to the government office to do my work, I received a secret order from my superiors to investigate the Minister of Revenue, Gui Fohai. The two wars between the north and the south had emptied the treasury and exposed it to everyone. When a poor family can't make ends meet, they can still ask for money from their rich relatives. If a country has no money and no food, who will help you? There have been no major construction projects or disasters in the past two years, and the money and food have disappeared. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue used several piles of unresolved accounts to cover up the matter. The prince couldn't stand it anymore and decided to dig out the old silt in the pond.
Dequan smiled, "Of course, our master is jealous of the young girl, right? But this Mouse Claw is cruel and ruthless, and is really not a good person. Doctor Weng almost cried when he talked about this. He said that fortunately the master did not blame him. After checking the pulse that day, you and the others started arguing in front of him. At that time, he knew that the child was from Prince Xin. At night, Mouse Claw went to the Imperial Medical Bureau of the East Palace and asked them for safflower, saying that the prince agreed. No one should get involved in this kind of thing, after all, she had slept with you before. Now that she has come back, it is still you and your ex, and it is not right for her to be pregnant with someone else's child. He gave the medicine to her and told her the dosage, but she didn't expect that she would boil it all at once. Fortunately, God blessed her and no one died, otherwise it would be a big deal."
