Second day

"Cough, cough, cough... cough, cough..." Chen Yi lay on the bed, feeling so uncomfortable that he almost vomited out his lungs.

Aunt Wu stood aside and said, "Princess, see! This is the price you pay for escaping!"

"If you dare to think about secretly telling the emperor again, your brother's life will be in vain! The imperial concubine has already ordered to increase the dosage! Even if the third prince died of illness in bed, no one would doubt the cause of his death~"

Chen Xi ran to the bedside crying and said sadly, "Brother! Brother, are you okay? Are you okay, brother! Wuuwuwu..."

Chen Yi reached out and touched Chen Xi's head, as if to comfort her that everything was fine, but then he felt uncomfortable and spit out a mouthful of blood!

“Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough! Sister, stay away from me, don’t let the blood splash on you, cough cough cough!!”

Chen Xi looked at his brother with heartache. He must be feeling very uncomfortable right now!

Seeing his sister's frown, Chen Yi forced a smile and said, "Sister, I scared you! I'm fine, don't worry! Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!!"

Seeing her brother in such pain, yet still trying to comfort her, Chen Xi seemed to have grown up suddenly. She knelt down and hugged Aunt Wu's thighs, "Aunt, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I will never dare to sneak out again, please give my brother the antidote!"

Nanny Wu kicked Chen Xi away and said, "You are a jerk who has a mother but no mother. You are really too arrogant. You even dared to complain to the emperor while I was sleeping!"

"It's because of you that the Imperial Concubine gave me ten strokes of the cane. Until now, my butt is so sore that I can't even sit down. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't learn your lesson!"

Chen Xi knelt on the ground and begged desperately, "Mammy, I know I was wrong...please let my brother go!"

Madam Wu raised her eyebrows and said, "I haven't punished you yet, you little girl, how dare you ask me to let your brother go?" Then she stretched out her hand and twisted Chen Xi's arm hard!

"Come here and stick your butt up, you little bitch, you've learned to complain, huh?" Slap after slap on Chen Xi's face...

Yangxindian

After the emperor finished his morning court session, An Shijie received the order and entered the palace. This was his first time entering the palace, and he felt so proud. It was worthwhile to have given Prince Anling a lot of money. If he could be favored by the emperor today, he would also be a member of the court in the future!

An Shijie had done his homework before coming here, and the mansion had also specially invited a teacher. He was confident enough to answer fluently about the current war and the people's sentiments, and he would definitely be appreciated by the emperor.

With the recommendation of Prince Anling, this matter will be easy to accomplish.

An Shijie strode in.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you and wish you good health and a long life!"

Xiao Rui waved his hand, "Get up."

An Shijie stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Next, as expected, all the questions Xiao Rui asked were answered fluently as if An Shijie had predicted the questions in advance.

Xiao Rui continued to ask, "If there is a famine and the government is distributing porridge, and some bad people are mixed in to cause trouble, should we stop distributing porridge and arrest the bad people immediately? Or should we continue distributing porridge and wait for a good opportunity?"

The master at home had never discussed this issue with An Shijie, so An Shijie said according to his own thoughts, "Your Majesty, I think we should stop distributing porridge first and catch the evil people who are making trouble, otherwise these people will definitely hinder the government from doing its work. Only in this way can we have no worries."

At this time, Song Qingwan came out from the back room carrying a tea tray.

"I think what Master An said is wrong!"

Song Qingwan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the emperor, then signaled the palace maid beside her to add a cup of tea for An Shijie.

The moment An Shijie saw Song Qingwan, his eyes widened. Although he had many wives and concubines and had seen countless women, this was the first time he had seen someone as beautiful as Song Qingwan!

Song Qingwan was seen wearing a white long skirt, with her jet-black hair tied behind her head with a simple ribbon and a white jade hairpin inserted in it. Her beautiful eyes were moving and her look was bright and the hem of her skirt swayed with her steps.

The whole person looks fresh and refined. An Shijie has never seen such a stunning face with such elegant makeup.

"I wonder who this person is...?"

Song Qingwan smiled at him and said, "I am the concubine of Jingyang Palace."

An Shijie quickly stood up and said with a smile, "I am here to see the Empress Yu. I have long heard that the Empress Yu is extremely beautiful and has a beautiful face. Today I see that she is indeed as beautiful as a flower!"

Xiao Rui felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. It would have been fine if this person had praised Song Qingwan's intelligence and talent, but instead he was discussing her appearance.

Song Qingwan is the empress, and she is so incapable of reading people's expressions that I wonder how she could have said those grand words just now. Is there someone directing her from behind?

"Wan'er, sit down. Tell me what you were talking about when you came in just now. Why do you think this is wrong?"

Song Qingwan replied, "I think that according to what Master An said, it is wrong to suspend the porridge distribution and punish the evildoers. From the perspective of the common people, they don't know who is a good person and who is a bad person. They only know that someone is speaking up for them."

"If we arrest those who 'stand up for justice' and stop distributing porridge at the same time, the people will be hungry and will think that the government is punishing the first bird to stand out!"

An Shijie looked at the eloquent Song Qingwan, who was not only beautiful but also quite insightful. If a woman like this could come to his house and be a good wife, that would be perfect!

The only drawback is that she has given birth to a child, so she can’t compare to those unmarried girls. But a wife has her own flavor…

An Shijie took the opportunity to ask, "May I ask, Madam Concubine Yu, what should we do?"

Song Qingwan said, "I think we should not alert the enemy. Besides these evil people, there may be other people hiding in there."

"Everything should be done as usual. Keep an eye on the evil people who are leading the riots. After the porridge distribution is over, send someone to track who they are meeting with, how many people they are meeting with, and who is behind it."

Xiao Rui listened to Song Qingwan's remarks and looked at her serious face. He couldn't help but think that if she were not a girl, she would be able to achieve great things in the court in the future and would definitely be my right-hand man.

But when I looked over there, I found that An Shijie was also looking at Song Qingwan with admiration!

The look in his eyes was lustful, not like one full of appreciation, but rather like he was appreciating something like a cat or a dog.

His eyes kept wandering around Song Qingwan's body... and finally stopped at that towering part...
