After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Fu Guiyun was certain that Xu Jinzhou would exaggerate what happened in Chunxiang Tower yesterday and report it secretly to the court in order to protect himself.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the palace pursues the matter or not.

He would describe in vivid detail how Lu Linchu hated Prince Liu so much that he wanted to kill him as soon as possible, and how he simply used castration to appease the anger of the Lu family.

In this way, the queen would be grateful to him but her hatred towards the Lu family would not be too deep.

After all, Orange survived.

But it’s hard to say what the emperor is thinking. He’s probably extremely disappointed with the Liu family.

If the orange had really been chopped by Lu Linchu, the emperor might have been able to use it to stir up some trouble. But that guy lost the face of the royal family and is still alive and kicking. This is what Emperor Hui could not tolerate the most.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but admire Lu Linzhi's strategy.

Looking at her mother-in-law with a smile, she said calmly, "In yesterday's incident, Xu Changshi had to maintain the dignity of the court. My daughter-in-law and Lu Changshi wanted to stop him, but he was so ruthless and impartial that we couldn't stop him."

"He is not impartial at all. He is just worried that Lin Chu will kill him in a rage."

Ye Zhilan said angrily: "It's just the lesser of two evils."

"Anyway, it's a relief for our palace. Let him handle it from now on," Fu Guiyun said comfortingly.

"It has come to this, and this is the only way."

Ye Zhilan instructed Madam Kong, "Go to my storehouse and get 1,000 taels of silver and 50 pieces of soft brocade as the betrothal gift for Nian Nian. Then select two maids from my courtyard and find two guards. Go with the Crown Prince's wife and tell Madam Han that the Liyang Palace will always remember the love her late husband had for the prince during those years."

"Tell her to recover and go back to live a peaceful life. The Crown Prince's Consort is kind and generous. Nian Nian, this girl stays in the palace. Although she is just a concubine, the Crown Prince will inherit the title sooner or later. As long as the girl behaves herself, her future life will be no worse than that of a wife in a marquis's mansion."

Although what she said was high-sounding, everyone knew that an aunt was just an aunt, how could she be compared with the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion.

After Madam Kong had prepared everything, Fu Guiyun led everyone out of Changchun Palace.

Thinking of the lessons learned from the past, Ye Zhilan still had some concerns in his heart, and asked Nanny Jiang to bring Han Nian over in person.

Looking at her miserable appearance, Ye Zhilan felt no sympathy at all, only endless anger.

"The Crown Prince's wife treats you with all her heart, and she almost holds you in her hands. You are such an ungrateful person, and you deserve what has happened to you today."

Ye Zhilan cursed bitterly, "Your death is not a pity. How could you bear to watch your mother tear out her heart and lungs for you and almost lose her life? How can you be worthy of the heroic spirits of your father and brother in heaven?"

Han Nian felt so wronged by her scolding that she started crying again.

"Besides crying, what else can you do?"

Ye Zhilan glared at her fiercely: "Han Nian, I didn't call you here today to see you cry miserably. The Crown Prince's wife is willing to give you a way out because she is kind-hearted."

"But I have something to say in advance. If you still don't follow the rules and regulations after entering the palace and take care of your duties as a concubine, and if you dare to seduce the prince and cause another Du Jiuniang or Yun Ling to appear in this palace, I will personally beat you to death even if I risk the lives of both mother and son."

Han Nian's heart was pounding with fear, and she responded while crying: "Nian Nian has remembered it."

Ye Zhilan took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with her any further, and silently waved to Nanny Jiang: "Take her back to Tanhua Courtyard first."

"Yes."

Nanny Jiang called the maid in and helped her out of the palace, shaking her head in her heart.

She ruined a good hand of cards by herself, and I don't know what she was trying to achieve.

Fu Guiyun led Madam Kong and Madam Tong and others to the Tanhua Courtyard. Mother Han was leaning on the pillow and letting Shuyan feed her medicine. Suddenly, she saw the silver ingots and brocade in the hands of the servants, and she felt something was wrong.

This doesn't sound like a normal marriage proposal or betrothal gift.

Looking at the silver, there must be at least a thousand taels and dozens of pieces of brocade. It doesn't look like they were brought to comfort me.

Several people looked at each other silently, and Madam Kong spoke first: "Is the old lady feeling better?"

"Thank you for your care, Princess."

Glancing at Shuyan in front of her, Han's mother said with gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Shuyan, too."

Shu Yan chuckled: "You're welcome, old lady, just think positively."

Nanny Kong smiled faintly, her concern disappearing there. She then repeated what the princess had told her to Han's mother, who felt very uncomfortable after hearing what she had said.

What a great marriage it would have been for Young Master Youxi, and the mistress of Marquis Anshun's mansion was not bad either, but that evil creature made it into this state.

She felt heartbroken.

But now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to accept the reality.

"The kindness that the Crown Prince's Consort and the Princess have shown to the Han family will be unforgettable to me."

After she finished speaking with tears in her eyes, she asked Shuyan to support her and kneel down under the bed, where she was about to kowtow to express her gratitude.

"No need to be so polite, old lady."

Fu Guiyun supported her and said, "When Nian Nian comes over later, there is no need to blame her. This happened in a hurry and there is no time to make good arrangements. I will ask someone to decorate the Shuhua Garden where Concubine Qin lived before, and let her consummate her marriage with the prince today."

After explaining the situation, he asked the person to put down the things and led the person out.

As soon as I reached the door, I ran into Han Nian being helped in by someone.

The two looked at each other and no one spoke.

Han Nian wanted to call her "sister-in-law" again, but when he thought of his current status, his heart ached and he suddenly stopped talking.

When I looked up again, Fu Guiyun had already started walking out of the yard.

Nanny Jiang sent her to Han's mother with a cold face, and left Tanhuayuan with Nanny Kong.

In the quiet room, only the mother and daughter were left. Chu Huaixi and Han You were so happy seeing this that they covered their mouths silently and tactfully went out to close the door.

The stagnant atmosphere lasted for about a cup of tea. Han's mother looked at the room full of silver, money and brocade, then forced a smile and pulled her daughter into her arms.

"There's nothing wrong with being a concubine in the palace. Look how good the Crown Prince's wife is to you. She even waived the indenture and only prepared the documents for you to become a concubine."

Although he said this, his heart was in uncontrollable pain.

Han Nian pouted in disappointment: "What's the difference between the concubine document and the indenture? It's just a different way of saying it."

"Then what else do you want?"

Mother Han said angrily, "Do you really want to drive me to death and destroy all the merits your father and brother have accumulated?"

Han Nian cried again out of grievance: "I just want to marry a man of my dreams, I don't have any extravagant expectations."

"You haven't thought about it yet?"

Mother Han stared and said, "Young Master Youxi and Anshun Marquis' Mansion, which one of them was not a luxury you dared not have in the past?"

After a pause, she said with a sad look, "Just stay in the palace and live a peaceful life. The prince loves you. As long as you are down-to-earth, the princess and the prince's wife will not treat you badly."

Han Nian remained silent.

Han's mother didn't want to poke at her scars anymore, so she just called someone in to help her dress up and put on makeup, and then had someone send her to Shuhuayuan.
