The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Concubine Bao said she loves the eldest master, but she refused to recite the sutras herself. It's clear that she is just talking. If she really wants to reassure the eldest master, she should take the lead in eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures to ease his longing for his family."

Concubine Bao was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect Meng Wen Yao to be so shameless that she was unwilling to even recite sutras for her dead husband. This was not the daughter who was brought up in a well-mannered family.

Meng Wenyao not only refused to go, but also provoked the war to her. She could only cry bitterly, "During the past few days when An'er was gone, I have been chanting sutras and praying for him every day, but An'er is still worried about me..."

"That might be the concubine chanting in the luxurious Jinxiu Courtyard. I think if the concubine moved to the Buddhist temple, the Bodhisattva would definitely feel your sincerity immediately."

"Meng!"

Seeing Meng Wenyao pressing forward step by step, Prince Fenyang suddenly roared, "How can you speak to your mother-in-law? She has not eaten since An'er passed away. If you move to the Buddhist temple with green lamps and ancient Buddhas, wouldn't it be forcing her to die? Do you have any respect for your elders in your heart? This is how your Meng family raised you."

This roar was a big accusation, but Meng Wenyao didn't really live for fame. She refuted fearlessly: "Father, calm down. My mother or mother-in-law is the princess. She has never said a word about me being unfilial."

"My Meng family is the most respectful of etiquette. We never allow concubines to speak without the mistress saying anything. I rejected the concubine's remarks to maintain the etiquette of respect and inferiority. I hope my father will understand."

For a long time, Concubine Bao has been treated the same as the princess in the palace, and people almost forget that she is just a concubine. Meng Wenyao's words made Prince Fenyang fuss and stare, not knowing how to respond.

The princess, who had been watching the show until now, heard Meng Wen Yao fighting for her right to speak, so she naturally returned the favor and joined the battle.

"Your Highness, the concubine said that An'er misses his family, so we should naturally chant more sutras and pray for him. What the eldest daughter-in-law said is not wrong. If none of our blood relatives go to chant sutras, and a new daughter-in-law is allowed to go, how can An'er feel at ease? I think it would be better for us to take turns to chant sutras. Then no matter who An'er misses, he will be able to see it and feel at ease."

Xie Chenyi glanced at Meng Wenyao and agreed, "Father, what mother said makes sense. If big brother misses his relatives, the ones he misses the most must be the concubine and fourth sister. If they don't go, even if big sister-in-law lives in the Buddhist temple, it won't ease big brother's longing!"

Apart from favoring his concubine and killing his wife, Prince Fenyang was a man without his own opinion, whether it was important court affairs or trivial matters. He saw that everyone's opinions made sense, and he was at a loss for a moment.

He couldn't help but look at Xie Jinbao. He was Concubine Bao's last resort. He hoped that Xie Jinbao could come out and say a few words for Concubine Bao.

But how could Xie Jinbao, the murderer, go to the Buddhist temple to chant for Xie Nan'an? His face straightened and he said sincerely: "Father, my eldest brother passed away at such a young age, he must be reluctant to leave the world of the living. You see, he liked my fourth sister and almost took her soul away. If he really missed someone in our house, and we all went to the Buddhist temple next to the ancestral hall to chant for her, what if my eldest brother was reluctant to leave and really took someone's soul away, wouldn't that be..."

"I think if mother really dreamed that big brother was restless in the underworld, it would be better to perform a few rituals at home to comfort big brother."

Looking at Xie Ruxue who was curled up in the maid's arms and kept saying, "Brother, I was wrong. I won't bully my sister-in-law anymore", Prince Fenyang also felt that it would be best to perform a ritual to prevent Concubine Bao's soul from being taken away.

"Okay, you handle this matter." King Fenyang finally ordered.

Concubine Bao was still unwilling to give in, but seeing that Xie Ruxue was almost losing consciousness, and Xie Jinbao did not speak up for her, she could only give up temporarily.

As long as Meng Wen Yao is still in the palace, she will have plenty of opportunities to clean up. The most important thing now is to treat Xie Ruxue and to get rid of Xie Chenyi.

Concubine Bao wanted to get rid of Xie Chenyi. In the princess's view, this was Sima Zhao's intention.

Therefore, when the princess heard that Xie Chenyi had no plans to go to the northern border, she was very worried: "That crazy woman must have made some moves recently. How can you stay here and let her harm you? Besides, at this time, the prince will definitely go along with her in everything. Yier, it is not a wise move for you to stay!"

When Xie Chenyi thought of what Meng Wen Yao said, he was a little hesitant, but in the end he decided to stay.

"Mother, we have been hiding from her for almost ten years. Keep hiding is not a long-term solution. I know you are worried, but I have grown up and can't always hide under your wings. It's time for me to come out and protect you."

"Also, I recently learned a secret. Xie Nanan's death might have been caused by Xie Jinbao. If we can find evidence, then the mother and son of the Bao family will fight to the death."

This statement immediately shocked the princess. She said in disbelief, "Xie Jinbao killed Xie Nanan. Is that impossible?"

Before Xie Chenyi could answer, she answered herself: "It's possible. Xie Jinbao has grown up in the past two years. He seems to want to compete with Xie Nanan. I thought they were just children competing for favor. Now I think Xie Jinbao is a shrewd person."

Xie Chenyi nodded: "Xie Nan'an's death is really strange. Concubine Bao suspected us, but we are definitely not the murderer. Then Xie Jinbao is very likely. Mother, please ask people to pay attention to those people in Xie Nan'an's yard before. No one was there that night. There must be something fishy."

"Well, if we can make the Bao mother and son kill each other, then we will just add some fuel to the fire."

On the other hand, the Meng family has already found out some information about Xie Nanan's personal servant Ma Yang.

"Miss, Madam found out that Ma Yang bought a house in East City and also bought a few servants. He is just a servant, not a butler who has been with the prince for most of his life. He seems to have suddenly become rich. There must be something wrong."

Meng Wen Yao nodded. It was obvious that Ma Yang had accepted Xie Jinbao's money. Now that he had the money in his hands, it wouldn't be long before he would be unwilling to be a servant in the palace. It would not be as comfortable as being a master in his own home.

As long as he left the palace and returned to his own yard, Xie Jinbao could kill Ma Yang without anyone noticing. At that time, who would care about a servant who had already left the palace?

This Ma Yang must be under his control so that he can hold on to Xie Jinbao at the critical moment.

"Ask mother to find a beautiful maid and rent her a yard next to Ma Yang. She must establish a relationship with Ma Yang."
