Hua Xiulan was bored every day. Thinking about Prince Duan's upcoming marriage, she made appointments with her sisters-in-law to go shopping every day.

Princess Mengya of Prince Kang and concubine Shen Yuping, Princess Lin Muxue of Prince Qi, Princess Lu Xiyue of Prince Duan, and Lady Su Nian of Marquis Jingyuan.

These guys are top-notch at showing off.

"Sister, my clothes are dirty. I will go back home first." Shen Yuping, the concubine of Prince Kang, pointed to a stain on her sleeve and said to Princess Kang.

"Sister, is the prince in the palace today?"

"Ah~ I don't know."

Princess Kang Mengya sneered in her heart. She knew that the prince was in the mansion, otherwise why would Shen Yuping be in such a hurry to leave. But she did not show it, still smiling and said: "Since my sister's clothes are dirty, go back and change them quickly."

After Shen Yuping left, Meng Ya looked at the others and said with a smile, "Let's continue shopping."

Everyone responded, except for Princess Qi Lin Muxue, whose eyes flickered, as if she was worried. She stepped back a few steps without leaving a trace, whispered a few words to the maid beside her, and found an excuse to leave.

On the other side, Shen Yuping hurried back to the palace and went straight to the prince's study. She gently opened the door and saw Prince Kang painting at the desk.

"Your Highness..." Shen Yuping called in a tender voice.

King Kang raised his head, a hint of annoyance flashed across his eyes, but he quickly hid it and asked with a smile: "Why did you come back so early?"

Shen Yuping walked to Prince Kang, leaned on him like a little bird, and said coquettishly: "I miss you, Your Majesty..."

Just then, there was a noise outside the door.

Prince Kang frowned slightly and said, "Go out and see what's going on." Shen Yuping reluctantly let go of his hand and said, "Yes." She opened the door and saw a guard arguing with the housekeeper.

"What happened?" "Your Majesty, Concubine, someone from the palace came to deliver an order, saying that the emperor summoned you." King Kang was shocked, "Do you know what it is about?" "I don't know." The guard lowered his head and answered. King Kang looked at Shen Yuping, "You go back first."

"I will wait for the prince to come back." Prince Kang nodded, turned around and followed the guards to the front hall.

Shen Yuping stood at the door, watching the back of Prince Kang leaving, thinking. She always felt that Prince Kang had been a little cold to her recently, and it must be the work of the Princess Kang!

Shen Yuping returned to her room and looked at her daughter in the cradle. She clenched her fists tightly and vowed to get rid of Princess Kang. She thought to herself: "If Prince Kang becomes the crown prince, then she will be the crown princess, and even the queen in the future. I must not let anyone ruin her plan!"

At the same time, in the Prince Kang's mansion, Meng Ya's mouth curled up slightly when she heard that Prince Kang was summoned to the palace. She knew that this must have been done intentionally by the Emperor in order to test Prince Kang. After all, the position of the Crown Prince had been vacant, and the struggles between the princes were becoming more and more intense.

In the palace, Prince Kang received an imperial decree from the emperor, ordering him to go to the northwest border to supervise the army. Prince Kang understood that this was a dangerous and difficult task, but it was also an opportunity to demonstrate his abilities. He decided to accept the appointment, hoping to gain the emperor's recognition.

Soon after, King Kang set out with a team of personal soldiers. After Shen Yuping learned the news, she became more determined to get rid of Meng Ya. She began to plot a conspiracy to try to make Meng Ya lose King Kang's trust...

Shen Yuping bribed a confidant of King Kang to falsely accuse Meng Ya of having an affair with someone else in front of King Kang. King Kang was skeptical, but he still planted the seeds of doubt in his heart.

On this day, King Kang returned to the capital ahead of schedule to find out the truth. He pretended to go out but sneaked back to the palace. When he walked into Mengya's room, he saw a shocking scene - Mengya and a man hugging each other.

King Kang was furious and drew his sword to stab the man. However, just as the sword was about to stab the man, Meng Ya stepped forward and blocked the man.

The tip of the sword pierced Mengya's body, and she slowly fell to the ground. King Kang was stunned, and he realized that he had fallen into a trap. It turned out that all this was a trap set by Shen Yuping.

King Kang hurriedly hugged Mengya and called her name loudly, but Mengya was no longer breathing.

"What's going on!" King Kang roared at the others in the room.

"Your Highness, I don't know either. I heard the noise and rushed over, then I saw my sister and this man... wuwuwu..." Shen Yuping cried like a pear blossom in the rain.

At this moment, the stabbed man suddenly spoke up: "My Lord, this has nothing to do with the princess. I forced her to do this!"

A trace of doubt flashed across King Kang's eyes. He felt that the matter was not that simple. He sent people to take the man away for interrogation and ordered the palace to be sealed off, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

At the same time, King Kang invited the imperial doctors to save Mengya. The doctors tried their best, but Mengya's injuries were too serious and they were powerless.

King Kang stayed by Mengya's bed, feeling extremely regretful. He remembered how good Mengya had been to him, and all the little things they had experienced together. He knew that he had misunderstood Mengya, and that it was all because of his distrust of her.

A few days later, Mengya passed away. King Kang was heartbroken and decided to avenge Mengya. After investigation, he discovered Shen Yuping's conspiracy. In anger, King Kang banished Shen Yuping to the cold palace. From then on, King Kang's temperament changed drastically. He became cold and ruthless, and only wanted to fight for the throne...

After Shen Yuping was banished to the cold palace, King Kang did not give up. He secretly collected evidence and eliminated those who colluded with Shen Yuping one by one. At the same time, he also cultivated his own power more attentively to prepare for seizing the throne.

Shen Yuping was his cousin, and he had to save her life for the sake of the queen, even if it was not for the sake of his grandfather and uncle.

But from then on, King Kang’s son was without a mother.

Hua Xiulan would go to Prince Kang's Mansion to visit Hua Yu from time to time, and Hua Xiulan suggested that Hua Yu enter the palace.

"Royal brother, now that Meng Ya is no longer alive and the concubine has gone to the other courtyard, why not let Hua Yu enter the palace to accompany our father and mother?" Hua Xiulan suggested.

"Zhaoyang, how can I bear to do this? Rou'er is only a few months old. What should I do?" King Kang said timidly.

"Then take a new concubine. After all, Hua Yu is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he still needs a mother." Hua Xiulan said seriously.

King Kang thought about it and nodded. "I'm afraid that's the only way."

Therefore, King Kang began to look for a suitable woman as his new concubine. He not only valued the other party's family background, but also paid more attention to character and talent.

Among many candidates, he finally chose a lady from a prominent family. This lady was named Zhao Wanru, who was not only beautiful, but also well-educated and well-mannered, and was deeply loved by King Kang. He also took in a concubine, Hua Lerou, to take care of her.

Soon after, Zhao Wanru married into the Kang Wang Mansion and became the Kang Wang's Consort. She treated Hua Yu as her own son and took good care of him, which made the Kang Wang feel very pleased.

Hua Yu also gradually adapted to life without his biological mother and established a deep relationship with Zhao Wanru.

At the same time, King Kang's position in the court was becoming increasingly stable. With his talent and strength, he won the support of many ministers. The emperor was also quite satisfied with his performance and gradually had the idea of ​​making him the crown prince.
