When we arrived at Changchun Palace, we heard coughing sounds coming one after another.

The eunuchs and maids stood in front of the palace gate, all of them with their heads buried, not daring to make a sound.

Fu Guiyun walked straight in and saw Nanny Jiang leading the court doctor out.

She bowed quickly and asked anxiously, "Mammy, how is my mother's condition?"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. The princess's illness is no longer serious. She just needs to be nursed back to health."

Nanny Jiang also bowed hastily in response.

Hearing the conversation outside, Ye Zhilan forced himself to sit up from the bed.

"Is Yun'er back? Let the Crown Prince's Consort come in quickly."

Nanny Jiang ordered the servant to send the palace doctor, and she and Nanny Kong led Fu Guiyun into the house.

As soon as he entered the inner room, under the light, he saw the haggard face lying on the couch, which was completely different from when he left. Fu Guiyun couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

"Mother is not feeling well. You should lie down and have a good rest."

She was about to help him up, but Ye Zhilan gently held her delicate hand and shook his head slowly: "It's okay, mother."

Then she turned her head towards the door and looked at Madam Kong expectantly: "Is the prince coming back with us?"

Nanny Kong had never seen the prince at all, so she didn't know how to answer and could only lower her head unhappily.

"That evil creature..."

Ye Zhilan was so angry that he kept coughing.

"The young master is still ill. The prince should go and settle the young master and Miss Yu first. Mother, don't worry."

At this time, the truth could not be told, so Fu Guiyun could only comfort him softly: "The prince will come to visit mother later."

"There is no such thing as a little prince. He is just a bastard born to a whore."

Ye Zhilan knew that she was trying to comfort him, and he felt sad again.

She knew what kind of person her son was.

At the beginning, he would rather hurt the relationship between mother and son than save Du Jiuniang, that bitch of unknown origin, so how could he care about his own life or death.

"Yun'er, it's all mother's fault. It was mother who harmed you."

Ye Zhilan grabbed her palm and confessed bitterly, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have let you suffer? I should have just killed those two shameless evildoers with a stick, at least I could have some peace and quiet."

"Mother, your words are too serious."

Fu Guiyun knew that she was speaking in anger, and continued to comfort her: "Your Highness is young and full of vigor, and has little experience in the world. It is inevitable that he will be bewitched by others. Sooner or later, he will understand the painstaking efforts of his father and mother."

Which girl is not in love, and which boy is not passionate.

Even in her previous life, when she and Song Weizhao had just gotten engaged, she had some beautiful fantasies, thinking that since they had a childhood relationship, he would love her very much.

The Lu family has enjoyed a great reputation for 800 years. It is a truly wealthy family, a family of scholars and men of letters. When it comes to Lu Chen, he has reached the pinnacle of honor and was awarded the title of king of the opposite sex, but he has only one son and one daughter.

Princess Hexi was born out of wedlock, and with such a family background, many families would be envious.

Ye Zhilan already felt guilty towards his daughter-in-law, and after hearing her words, his guilt deepened.

"Good boy, good boy, I can rest in peace if I die now because I have such a virtuous and sensible daughter-in-law like you."

As a parent, she knows how to empathize with others. Children are the apple of their parents' eyes.

The Fu family had no choice but to marry off their daughter. If they didn't treat her well after she got married, the news would make people criticize them.

"Madam Kong, take your men to capture that shameless bitch Yun Ling and sink her into the fish pond in the palace."

After careful consideration, Ye Zhilan finally made this difficult decision.

"No."

Fu Guiyun hurriedly stopped Madam Kong.

Killing people with a knife is the most foolish thing.

In the current situation, killing Yun Ling would only bring trouble to myself.

After all, she's not that big rooster.

Knowing the princess's good intentions, Fu Guiyun said solemnly, "Mother is from a famous family and is used to seeing the inner disputes. She can see many things more clearly than her daughter-in-law. The love between a man and a woman is like a passing cloud. Keeping the prosperity of the family is the foundation of one's life. As long as the queen is still there, the rest of them are concubines after all, not to mention that Yunling is still a nameless girl."

"What a wonderful saying, 'Love between men and women is like passing clouds and smoke', and what a wonderful saying, 'The queen is still here, but the rest are just concubines after all'."

Ye Zhilan was very pleased to hear this.

I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to be so broad-minded. Even I feel inferior to her.

Nanny Jiang was also worried that the princess would repeat the same mistake by executing Yunling in anger, so she hurried to smooth things over: "The Crown Prince's Consort is so smart and virtuous, the princess should put her heart at ease, Yunling, that bitch, can't cause much trouble."

Seeing his daughter-in-law's calm face, Ye Zhilan's depressed mood was immediately relieved a lot.

In fact, she couldn't be sure what the consequences would be if she killed Yun Ling.

After all, the execution of Du Jiuniang cost her son half his life. If the two younger ones had not been brought back to the palace, that evil creature would rather die outside than return to the palace.

"Madame Jiang, Madame Kong, you must do your best to assist the Crown Princess and help her manage the palace."

Her son is incompetent, and her only hope now is that her daughter-in-law can take over the palace smoothly and lead the Lu family forward.

The two old maids respected the Crown Prince's wife from the bottom of their hearts. After receiving the princess's instructions, they dared not be careless and swore to express their loyalty.

In this way, Fu Guiyun felt much more at ease.

Seeing that the princess' pale complexion had improved, he took the medicine from the eunuch beside him and personally served the princess the medicine. He helped her to rest before leaving.

Ye Zhilan was worried, so he asked Nanny Jiang and Nanny Kong to personally send her back to Chuxian Palace.

Fu Guiyun knew that her mother-in-law asked her two closest and most capable maids to come and see her off at this time, because she wanted to give her a chance to ask for advice on how to manage the household.

I can't miss the opportunity to make friends with these two maids.

After returning to the house, Fu Guiyun warmly invited the two old ladies to stay for tea.

While drinking tea, he asked Cuiluo to prepare two gifts and send them out.

The gift package contained fifty taels of silver and two pieces of fine hairpins and rings.

"I have just entered the mansion, and I am really humbled to be cared for by my father and mother. The two maids are the elders of the mansion. From now on, I will have to rely on the two maids for guidance. This is a small gift, and I hope the two maids will accept it."

She spoke modestly and politely, which made the two maids feel both pleasant and a little afraid.

The Crown Prince's Consort clearly gained the power to manage the household through her own abilities, but she said that it was because of the love and care of the Prince and Princess. This alone is enough to show how prudent she is in her dealings with others.

"You are so polite, Princess."

Nanny Jiang carefully pushed the gift package back and said, "It is the duty of old slaves to serve the Crown Prince's Consort. How dare we ask for her things?"

"Just consider it as some hard-earned money. Please don't refuse it, maids." Fu Guiyun pushed the gift package over again generously.

The two maids were well versed in the ways of the world and knew that such offers could always be declined, so they immediately accepted the gifts respectfully.

"The Crown Prince's Consort is the most capable person I have ever seen. I have witnessed this clearly over the past few days. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to handle the troubles in the palace any better than the Crown Prince's Consort." Nanny Jiang complimented sincerely.

The two maids chatted with each other, and gradually revealed their determination to help the Crown Prince's Consort get rid of Yun Ling.

Fu Guiyun saw that the time was ripe, so he dismissed the maids and left only Ji Chun to serve in the room. He took the opportunity to ask about Du Jiuniang.
