After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

"No, there is no doubt about the eldest princess' ability. If she were a man, this position would belong to her, but she is a woman..."

"Isn't Emperor Beiyuan also a woman?" Su Qingcheng said.

"This..." Emperor Dong Ling didn't know how to explain it for a moment, "In short, I will consider this matter again and again. You can also talk to the eldest princess when you go back. This does not mean that I don't like her, but it is important to me. Think carefully."

Su Qingcheng was a little angry and suppressed her emotions. Even she herself did not notice that her tone was a little cold: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the eldest princess does not want this position."

After hearing this, Emperor Dong Ling became obviously happy: "Seriously? That would be great. I originally wanted to make it up to her, but now I don't have to worry about it!" Su Qingcheng was disgusted in her heart. I am afraid that Emperor Dong Ling will never do this again. I didn't plan to pass the throne to the eldest princess in the first place...

"In this case, you go back and tell the eldest princess that when I return to the court tomorrow, I will announce her as the crown princess. If she refuses, I will give her another reward. Ask her what she wants." Emperor Dongling said The more excited he said, the colder Su Qingcheng's heart became.

Although he didn't know the truth of the matter, from his perspective, the eldest princess was his savior, and he was just one step away from writing the edict of succession. Ha...even if he writes it, he will probably regret it. No wonder the Queen is ready to eradicate it.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to go to such trouble." Su Qingcheng said.

"No trouble, no trouble. This will let everyone know that I am not a heartless person. It was the eldest princess who rejected me." Emperor Dong Ling talked eloquently, not noticing that Su Qingcheng was getting more and more angry.

"Your Majesty! The eldest princess has never wanted to compete for the throne from the beginning to the end. You will only chill the heart of a daughter by asking her to cooperate with you." Su Qingcheng said seriously.

Seeing her attitude, Emperor Dong Ling could only give up: "Okay, then I will think of another way."

"My slave, I'll leave first." Su Qingcheng didn't want to stay any longer and left quickly before the emperor could speak.

The eldest princess had been standing outside. When she saw Su Qingcheng coming out, she immediately asked, "How is it?"

"It's settled, have you thought clearly? Do you want your father to know about this?" Su Qingcheng said.

The eldest princess sighed and said, "Please accompany me to find the queen mother."

"it is good."

After a while, the two came to the queen's palace.

Dozens of palace maids knelt in front of the palace, and there was a huge cloud...

Among them are some familiar figures to Su Qingcheng, Chuntao and Qiuxiang.

The cold wind was biting, and they were only wearing thin inner clothes. Su Qingcheng could see their trembling bodies even from far away.

"What's going on?" Su Qingcheng came to Chuntao and Qiuxiang at the end.

Their lips were purple due to the cold, and their eyes were blurry. They tried to open their eyes to determine who the person in front of them was: "You are..."

Chuntao looked at the person in front of her who was dressed as a palace maid, with dark skin and freckles.

"Princess Nan'an?"

"It's me, why does the queen punish you?" Su Qingcheng said.

Seeing Su Qingcheng, Chuntao couldn't control her tears for a moment, and said aggrievedly: "The queen seems to be in a bad mood after coming back today. She punishes the slaves to kneel here."

Su Qingcheng couldn't bear it. What did the ladies in this palace do wrong...

"What are you doing here!" The queen walked out of the palace and looked at the eldest princess resentfully. She didn't know that the emperor's illness was cured yet.

"Mother, please ask the maids to get up, and let's go in and talk." The eldest princess said.

Su Qingcheng was moved in her heart. Even if the eldest princess wanted to break up, she would still retain the last dignity of the queen.

"Let's see who dares to get up! If you have something to say, just say it. Are you afraid that others won't hear it?" The queen was angry and resentful towards the eldest princess.

The eldest princess said: "Queen Mother, I have told my father that I do not want the position of the Crown Princess."

"What are you talking about? Do you know how long I have been planning for today, starting from the time when you were pregnant and gave birth! I am doing it all for you!"

Su Qingcheng did not expect that the empress, who saw her plan fail, would reveal the secret of the eldest princess in front of so many maids.

She immediately glanced at the eldest princess, who had tears in her eyes and was obviously heartbroken by her mother.

"Is the queen doing this for the eldest princess? Isn't it for your own selfish desires?" Su Qingcheng asked.

"How dare a slave talk to me?" the queen said sternly.

Unexpectedly, Su Qingcheng did not retreat, but instead said more firmly: "You keep saying it's for the eldest princess, but in the end you only threaten her. Have you ever asked her what she wants!"

"Come here, drag her down and slap her!" the queen pointed at Su Qingcheng and said.

"Let me see who dares to touch her!" The imperial concubine arrived in time and protected Su Qingcheng with one hand.

"Okay, okay...you betrayed me and got together with the imperial concubine?" The queen looked at the eldest princess in disbelief, the sadness in her eyes almost overflowing.

"The eldest princess didn't," Su Qingcheng explained. "She wanted to protect your dignity from the beginning to the end. It was you who pushed her away."

The eldest princess glanced at Su Qingcheng gratefully, slowly approached the queen, and whispered something into her ear.

The queen fell to the ground in confusion. The eldest princess took Su Qingcheng's hand and said, "Let's go."

Seeing this, the imperial concubine also left behind them.

"Princess, Princess Nan'an, stay." The imperial concubine called to them.

Su Qingcheng signaled the eldest princess to return to the carriage first, then turned around and said, "What's the matter with the noble concubine?"

"Is the king okay? Can you tell me how the queen did it?" the imperial concubine asked tentatively.

Su Qingcheng was silent. Although she knew that the imperial concubine had no ill intentions towards her, she did not want to have too much interaction with the imperial concubine.

"I do not know."

"Don't be so wary of me. If you and King Yunan hadn't already been engaged, I think you might even be destined and would like you to be my daughter-in-law." The imperial concubine said.

"King Yunan and I are already married." Su Qingcheng said calmly.

The son of the imperial concubine was cruel and wanted to kill her, a woman in the backyard...

Regardless of whether she is engaged or not, she does not want any emotional interaction between the two of them.

"Really? When did it happen... Oh, I remember it. Was it the day when the king announced his death?" the imperial concubine said.

"If the imperial concubine is okay, I will leave first." Su Qingcheng said, turned around and left.

The imperial concubine looked at her retreating back with reminiscing eyes.

"Your Majesty, Princess Nan'an is so rude, why are you still looking for her?" the maid next to the imperial concubine said unfairly.

Gui raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "You don't understand... The appearance and temperament are so similar, how come no one except me recognizes them?"
