Princess Xunyang really acted like she was begging for help this time. She adjusted her skirt, knelt down gracefully, and performed a very formal ceremony.

"Kid, get up quickly. What are you doing? If you have something to say, get up first."

The Queen Mother hurriedly asked the palace maids to help the eldest princess up. She had just become pregnant and the fetus was not yet firmly established. What if she slipped?

The eldest princess was helped to sit on a chair beside her and gave the queen mother a look. The fewer people knew about her request to the queen mother, the better. For this reason, she came to Tete's palace and even sent her husband away on the pretext of something.

The Queen Mother was an old champion in palace fighting. She immediately understood and dismissed her attendants. "Xunyang, you must have encountered something extremely difficult. Don't be anxious, talk slowly."

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Mother, it is not easy for my daughter to get pregnant."

Xunyang said, and moved to the Queen Mother's side, telling her how she visited Shihua on the full moon, and hugged her, as if she had been injected with fairy power. Then that night, she dreamed of a fairy boy delivering a child.

The fairy child and the cradle Shihua were not completely unrelated, but they looked exactly alike, except that Shihua looked a few sizes bigger.

After listening to the eldest princess, the empress dowager felt it was too bizarre, but she did not dare to deny it completely.

She had secretly asked experts to look into Xunyang's issue of offspring. Several experts said that the eldest princess was destined to be childless, unless a miracle happened.

It was for this reason that she reluctantly persuaded her daughter to agree to her husband taking a concubine. Now that she was pregnant, she couldn't help but believe in this supernatural thing.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, the Princess became anxious. She took the Queen Mother's hand and acted coquettishly and cutely.

"Really, mother, you don't know, as soon as I held the child, I had a very, very magical feeling, as if the child had endless magical power, and whatever she wanted to happen would come true."

Seeing that her daughter was a little anxious, the Queen Mother smiled and patted her hands.

"I believe it, mother. No matter what, as long as you can get pregnant and give birth safely, everything will be fine."

"But, but, mother, the child's mother, Yun, has been reported as collaborating with the enemy and plotting treason, and has been detained by the Imperial Guards sent by my brother.

My daughter and Yun have been close friends for many years, and I trust her character and behavior. She and the Yun family would never do such a thing, and they must have been framed.

"If you receive a drop of water from someone, you should repay them with a spring of water. This is the grace of giving you a child. The daughter begs the queen mother to save the child and her mother."

"Yun is the legitimate daughter of Grand Tutor Yun. She has been your study companion since childhood?" When Yun was mentioned, the Queen Mother seemed to be familiar with her.

"Yes, it is the Yun family."

The Queen Mother was silent again. Treason was a serious crime, and the entire family should be executed. Since the Emperor had sent the Imperial Guards, he must have something in his hands. And if he dared to report the treasonous person, he must have been fully confident.

This is not a easy matter to handle.

After thinking for a long time, the Queen Mother spoke slowly.

"Xunyang, listen to your mother's advice. Women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in matters of the court. This is the ancestral precept."

"Mother, this, Xun Yang knows. As for whether the Imperial Tutor's Mansion was framed, with the reputation of the Emperor, he will naturally find out the truth. Xun Yang only hopes to save Yun Shi and Hua Hua's life.

The two children in my daughter's belly were given to her by that girl, so I will repay her kindness for these two children."

Xunyang wept and knelt down to beg for mercy, as if she would not stand up unless the Queen Mother agreed. She knew that this was a bit of a trick, but as long as she could save the mother and daughter of the Yun family, she didn't care.

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time before slowly nodding her head, "Xunyang, get up quickly, you are still pregnant, I will give it a try!

……

"Mother, how can you find time to come to the Imperial Study today? Your son should come to An Ning Palace to pay his respects to you. Oh, the Imperial Sister is here too."

"Your Highness, what a coincidence! The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty is here too."

Uh...Emperor Dewu was so embarrassed that his face was full of black lines. The imperial sister was bringing up things that were not relevant to the topic, which was very embarrassing.

"Hehe... uh, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty is kind, virtuous, and of noble character. I summoned her to the palace to prepare, prepare, prepare to confer an imperial decree on her."

"What? Imperial edict?"

"What? Imperial edict?"

The Queen Mother, Princess Xunyang, Yun, Shihua, and Li Deshun who was standing beside them, were all exhausted by this news that came out of nowhere.

Treason! Imperial edict!

These two things that are totally unrelated miraculously appeared in the Yun family.

"Edict." The Queen Mother muttered softly and looked at Princess Xunyang in surprise.

No, weren't they here to plead for the Yun family to rescue the person? How come in the blink of an eye, they were given an imperial decree?

No, no, they must have heard it wrongly.

"Xunyang, my ears are not working well. The emperor just said that he wanted to confer an imperial title on the Yun family. Did I hear it correctly?"

"Mother, you heard it right. This is what my brother said just now."

Yun was also secretly surprised. Although she was sure that by swapping the contents of the box, she might be able to prevent the Yun family from being exterminated, but she didn't even dare to dream of being granted an imperial decree.

Shihua is a heartless girl who doesn't think too much. She is so happy: Oh my, I made money, I made a fortune. My beautiful mother, you will be given the title of Lady. It seems that the tyrant Lao Deng still has vision.

Okay, I won’t call you a tyrant next time.

"Royal brother, what are you doing..." The eldest princess wanted to confirm and asked half a question.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I summoned Yun to the palace to confer upon her the title of Madam of Imperial Concubine, ahem."

Emperor Dewu cleared his throat and continued, "Since the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty, Yun, is loyal to Daliang and cares about the world, her heart is evident to all. The reborn Daliang Fu Nu has made great contributions, so I grant her the title of Second Rank Imperial Concubine and a reward of 1,000 taels of gold."

Emperor Dewu did not make this decision on a whim.

Yun sacrificed ten years of her life in exchange for peace and prosperity for the country and the people. She is also someone that all the ancestors value very much. She is the biological mother of Fu Nu Shihua, so he must do his best to win over this mother and daughter.

In this way, he would have an excuse to get close to Xiao Fu Nu and improve the national fortune of Daliang. In the future, when he went down to meet the ancestors, he might be able to avoid a few more beatings.

Therefore, this second-rank imperial decree is worth it. This business is simply a huge profit, hehehe...

Emperor Dewu was secretly happy in his heart. He had just been thinking about how to compensate Xiao Funu's mother for offending her!

As soon as the words of the imperial edict came out of his mouth, it hit the mark unexpectedly, and all the problems were solved perfectly. I am worthy of being called a wise and powerful man.

Li Deshun was indeed a popular figure around the emperor and a master at guessing the emperor's intentions. With just one glance, he knew that Emperor Dewu was serious this time.

He quickly threw away his whisk, knelt on one knee and accepted the order, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go to the Ministry of Rites and bring Madam Yun's second-rank imperial edict and her crown and clothes. I will also draft an edict and announce it to the world."
