Chu Jingming waved his hand, and two guards responded and pulled Fang Lansu up from the ground. Jiang Xue approached, her hand searched Fang Lansu's chest, and soon found a small medicine bottle.

When she opened the bottle cap, a pungent smell of medicine hit her face. Jiang Xue frowned, this medicine was extraordinary.

"Who gave you this medicine?" She held up the medicine bottle, looked directly into Fang Lansu's eyes, and spoke in a stern tone.

Fang Lansu turned her head away, tightly shut her lips, and said nothing. Jiang Xue frowned, grabbed Fang Lansu's face with one hand, and forced her to face herself.

Then, she pinched Fang Lansu's mouth open and pretended to pour the medicine in. Fang Lansu was immediately frightened and screamed, "No! Please, this medicine will kill you!"

"Don't want to die? Then tell me who gave you this medicine." The medicine bottle in Jiang Xue's hand trembled slightly.

"It's Qu Shang, the High Priest Qu!" Fang Lansu finally said the name in order to save her life.

"When did he give it to you?" Jiang Xue asked.

"When the child was brought back."

Fang Lansu explained that at first she didn't know the purpose of the medicine until one day she accidentally knocked over the medicine bottle, and the pills fell to the ground and were swallowed by a wild cat. Not long after, the cat died of bleeding from all seven orifices.

Only then did she realize how terrible the contents of the medicine bottle were. She had originally planned to mix the poison into Yunyan's food, but because Chu Jingming strictly monitored everything about Yunyan, she never found an opportunity.

Later, she could only take advantage of her wet nurse and choose the ointment with cinnabar.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue and Chu Jingming exchanged glances, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

"Pass the order, the whole city is under martial law!" Chu Jingming ordered. He knew that Qu Shang's return to Fengxiao City this time was no accident.

"Prince Ming, it seems we need to visit the Inner Court again." Jiang Xue said softly, glancing at Fang Lansu who was panicking beside her.

"As for this person, since she is a member of the palace, it is up to you to decide how to deal with her."

After hearing this, Fang Lansu was filled with despair. She saw Chu Jingming approaching step by step with a cold gaze, and fear made her almost unable to breathe.

"Ah——" A shrill scream sounded in the night sky, and then fell into silence.

The night fell into silence again, and nothing seemed to have changed.

"The child's condition has stabilized."

After a long period of hard work, Jiang Xue finally succeeded in suppressing the toxins in the child's body. Knowing that the child was safe and sound, Yunyan's tense mood was finally relieved.

Chu Jingming stood beside her, gently placed his hand on her thin shoulder, frowning slightly.

"You are so thin that a gust of wind can take you away."

"Yunyan, you've been busy all night, it's time for you to go back and rest."

Unconsciously, the night had faded and the morning light began to appear. Looking at the child sleeping peacefully, Yunyan shook her head gently, her heart full of worry.

“I want to stay here with my kids.”

Chu Jingming originally didn't want to make her work so hard, but thinking that the accident was caused by his own negligence, he said no more, but arranged for the servants to prepare a few more beddings and move his belongings over.

"Since you want to stay with the child, I will stay with you."

"How are you going to deal with the princess's matter?"

Gently stroking the child's cheek, Yunyan thought of what Fang Lansu had done and anger burned in her heart.

In the past, she could tolerate the bullying from others because of her status and position, but now, she would never let anyone hurt her child!

If the prince still did not dare to seek justice for the child because of concerns about the Fang family as he did before, she decided to take action herself, even if it cost her a price.

Chu Jingming heard the determination in her words, and felt touched and guilty. He understood that Yunyan thought he was still unable to protect her.

Indeed, when he was not yet powerful, facing Fang Lansu's repeated provocations, he failed to give Yunyan the support she deserved because he took into account the power of the Fang family, and hurt her heart time and time again.

However, things are different now. With the defeat of his opponents, he has taken control of the entire Fengxiao City and no longer needs to bow to the Fang family.

Since Fang Lansu dared to cross his bottom line, he could no longer show mercy.

He gently embraced Yunyan in his arms and whispered, "I have ordered Fang Lansu to be sent back to the Fang family and issued a divorce letter. From now on, she is no longer the mistress of Prince Ming's mansion, you are."

When Yunyan heard this, surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes. It took her a long time to turn around, her eyes full of disbelief.

"What did you say?"

He actually divorced Fang Lansu?

"I have already informed my father of your and the child's identities. This child is the first princess of our royal family.

I have already asked my father, the emperor, to grant me marriage, to make you my legal wife, and to include our children in the royal family tree. Yunyan, you are the only woman I deeply love in this life.

I swear to the heavens with my royal bloodline that in this lifetime, I, Chu Jingming, will only have you in my heart, and I will spend the rest of my life with you, and we will never be separated. "

No woman could remain unmoved by such a solemn oath.

Yunyan only felt a warm current surging in her heart, and it felt like a stone was blocking her throat, making it almost impossible for her to speak.

She had seen such scenes countless times in her dreams.

It was a few years ago, on the night of his wedding with Fang Lansu, he broke into her room drunk and forced her to marry him. Who would have thought that many years later, the scene in his dream would become reality.

In recent days, there has been a lot of discussion in Xiyong Fengxiao City.

The two major events that people talked about were: the former crown prince Chu Feimo's mysterious death in an inner court incident, which was extremely tragic;

Second, Prince Ming Chu Jingming divorced his daughter and wrote a letter requesting to make a female guard of commoner origin his principal wife. It is said that this female guard also gave birth to a daughter for Prince Ming, who regarded her as the apple of his eye.

These two things made Emperor Xiyong very angry.

Although Chu Feimo has a rebellious heart, he is his own son after all, and of royal blood.

Although the emperor imprisoned him in the Nei Ting Si, he did not issue a death sentence. However, he was murdered in the Nei Ting Si, and his death was so tragic that the guards did not know who the murderer was!

The emperor was furious and ordered the execution of all the people in the inner court to bury Chu Feimo with him.

At this time, Chu Jingming's memorial was submitted again.

It would be fine to divorce the girl from the Fang family. After all, she is the daughter of a traitor. Even if you don't divorce her, they will find a way to get rid of her in the future.

But when the emperor saw the word "Yunyan" on the memorial, he felt a splitting headache. How could a guard of humble origins sit on the throne of a prince or princess?

Is the second brother blinded by love?

Even if she gave birth to a daughter, so what? With her background, she could only be a concubine at best, not even a concubine!

"You said that the emperor wants to see Yunyan?"
