Parents are busy farming

To talk about when the Crown Princess started to scheme like this, we have to start from when she became the Crown Princess and the Queen started to stay indoors.

At that time, the queen had happily celebrated with her the day before that the prince had finally become the crown prince.

They planned and waited for a long time, and finally the day came when the emperor would appoint a crown prince.

However, at the moment when the prince was named the crown prince, news suddenly came from the queen's palace that the queen had fallen ill.

From then on, the queen never stepped out of the palace again.

As the daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess was required to fulfill her filial duties, so she was allowed to visit the Queen's bedroom.

She witnessed the queen's increasingly haggard face and her weakening vitality.

The imperial doctors from the entire Imperial Medical Bureau came in and out frequently every day, but they were unable to cure the queen's illness.

At first, the queen did not realize that there was a conspiracy behind this to murder her.

But the Crown Princess saw it clearly. When she figured out the whole thing, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

However, what followed was endless resentment.

Therefore, she decided to fight hard for the prince, for herself, and for her natal family.

First, she set her sights on the people the emperor relied on.

Just when she was carefully planning who to start with, Ye Zifen suddenly broke into the core area of ​​power in the capital and was so favored by the emperor that she naturally became her primary target of attack.

Therefore, when the Crown Prince reprimanded Princess Anle, the nanny was summoned by the Crown Princess.

Although the Crown Princess did not tell the nanny explicitly what to do, she did give her some clever pointers.

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I heard that Madam had served Empress Yuan together with Madam Qi, who was by Princess Fuxia's side. I wonder what the relationship between Madam and Madam Qi was like?"

Recalling the past, when the nanny was with the Queen, the Crown Princess was just an ordinary prince's consort, and she was extremely respectful to the nanny at that time.

However, now, the Crown Princess has actually acted like the master, which makes the nanny quite unhappy.

But after all, she came from the palace, so the nanny was still capable enough to conceal her emotions.

The nanny bowed her head and replied respectfully, "To answer the Crown Princess, I and Nanny Qi who served Princess Fuxia did serve Empress Yuan. Later, the Queen passed away first, and Nanny Qi left the palace, but I stayed with the Queen until I was sent by the Queen to serve Princess Anle."

The implication of these words is obvious: Although you are now the Crown Princess, I am an old person by the Queen's side. I have served two generations of queens and have a respected status. Don't go too far!

However, after hearing this, the Crown Princess did not get angry, but smiled slightly.

She said calmly, "I believe that Madam also knows that the Queen Mother has been ill for a long time. Anle is her favorite. Right now, what she is most concerned about should be the relationship between Anle and the Duke. Since Madam Qi, who is by the Princess Fuxia's side, has been a good friend for many years, you might as well consider Anle more. If someone can persuade the Duke to live in harmony with Anle and love each other for a long time, it would be great."

When the nanny heard this, she immediately understood.

She knew very well that this was a hint from the Crown Princess to her, as well as a warning.

It was said earlier that the queen had been ill for so long, which meant that it was no longer possible for a servant to support her. The one mentioned later was the purpose.

Let her talk to Madam Qi and let Princess Fuxia do it.

Could she refuse? As long as she wanted to live, she couldn't refuse.

If I don't know what's good for me and continue to go against the Crown Princess, the consequences will be disastrous.

So she lowered her head and replied respectfully: "I understand, please rest assured, Princess, I will do my best."

The Crown Princess nodded with satisfaction and said no more.

The nanny secretly felt lucky that she had not offended the Crown Princess before.

Ye Zifen found it difficult to track down the things happening in the palace, so she sent Nanny Qi to look for the people around the emperor.

The entire palace is still under the control of the emperor, and it is easy to find out the truth about certain things.

It only took my father-in-law three days to find out the whole story. When he saw the result, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

However, he did not pass on the news, but reported his discovery to the emperor.

When the emperor heard these words, his expression did not change significantly, but a barely perceptible solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He coughed lightly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to hide the shock and dissatisfaction in his heart.

His fingers stiffened slightly, as if he was trying to control his emotions.

Then, he put down the teacup, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealed a cold smile, and said in a cold tone: "The queen really chose an outstanding princess for the prince!"

There was a hint of sarcasm and anger in his voice, which made people feel cold.

The eunuch stood aside, looking at the emperor cautiously, not daring to interrupt easily.

He knew very well that the emperor was in a unhappy mood at the moment, so he chose to remain silent so as not to anger him.

The emperor's eyes swept over the eunuch, revealing a kind of majesty.

He hummed softly, indicating his satisfaction with his father-in-law's attitude.

Then he continued, "Don't tell Fu Xia about this for now. I heard that An Le's relationship with Fu Xia has eased recently, and I don't want her to be affected. Although the prince is not stupid, the princess needs to be replaced. It's a pity for An Le..."

There was a hint of helplessness and regret in his tone.

Princess Anle, as a child raised by the Queen, has always been the most favored person in the palace.

Influenced by the palace environment and favored by the Queen, Anle gradually developed a spoiled yet naive personality.

In the past two years, the emperor has repeatedly blamed the queen for not knowing how to raise a child, which led to Anle's character becoming so willful.

However, at this moment, the emperor felt fortunate.

After all, if Anle was raised by the Crown Princess, if she was infected with those conspiracies and intrigues, it would only hurt herself and others in the end.

Especially for the Wang family, it is a misfortune.

Therefore, the emperor would rather Anle maintain her current personality than see her being influenced by the Crown Princess.

After hearing what the emperor said, the eunuch hurriedly responded respectfully: "Yes!"

The Crown Princess' grandfather was a mainstay among the civil officials, and now serves as the Crown Prince's tutor, whose status is comparable to that of Old Master Hong.

He is the ancestor of the Song family. He has many disciples and has presided over the imperial examinations many times.

However, Old Master Song was already quite old and had been in poor health in the past two years. Since the prince was already that old, he had long since stopped teaching him and only retained his official position.
