After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Empress Dowager Zheng originally wanted to control Yan Yu on the issue of concubines.

She knew that the King of Qin hated others acting on their own. In fact, over the years, the Emperor had wanted to marry two concubines from high-ranking families to the King of Qin, but the King of Qin had refused both times.

If today's event were to succeed, the Prince of Qin would most likely turn against Yan Yu after returning to the capital, and even the Emperor would not be very happy.

If Tian really became a concubine, she could be summoned to the palace openly in the future and would have greater authority in the palace.

If Yan Yu refused, she would be accused of being narrow-minded, intolerant and jealous, which would make her feel uncomfortable for a while and would make people think that Yan Yu is not good enough.

Now Yan Yu did not directly say whether she thought it was a good idea to make Tian a concubine. She just echoed the opinion of the maid and told the story of Tian's character.

In this case, if Queen Dowager Zheng allowed Tian to be a concubine again, the problem would be with the Queen Dowager.

It’s embarrassing to have such an unruly and stealing dog by your side!

Queen Mother Zheng pretended to be surprised: "When she was serving me, this girl was respectful and obedient. I thought she was a good person. I didn't expect that once she left the palace, this dog servant became so arrogant that she even lost her master in her eyes!"

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, drink some tea to calm yourself down. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. This girl is hiding too much. You are kind and always think the best of people. You let this girl deceive you."

"You are right." Queen Mother Zheng nodded. "Yan'er, you are a princess, and you must behave like a princess. This servant is arrogant and does not follow the rules. This is called usurpation. There is no need to speak well of her, and don't treat her as my person. I never allow servants to be arrogant. Just beat her to death and throw her out."

Queen Mother Zheng did not mention the matter of appointing another concubine for the King of Qin.

At this time, the imperial physician came and asked for Empress Dowager Zheng's pulse.

The Empress Dowager has been in good health recently. The imperial physician did not find any problems after taking her pulse. He only told her to keep warm in the winter and avoid going out in the cold.

Queen Mother Zheng smiled and pointed at Yan Yu: "We are all here, please check the pulse of the Princess of Qin as well. I want to see if she is pregnant. This child is weak, Doctor Zhang, please take a closer look."

Doctor Zhang hurried to Yan Yu's side, laid out a pulse pillow and took Yan Yu's pulse.

After taking the pulse, Doctor Zhang said in a deep voice: "The Princess of Qin is not pregnant, but her pulse is weak and her physical condition is a little weak. She should be properly nursed back to health."

Queen Mother Zheng nodded and said: "Prepare some nourishing medicine and send it to the Qin Palace."

"Yes."

Before they knew it, it was already mid-afternoon, and Yan Yu and Princess Xianyi were about to leave the palace.

The cool wind outside made people feel cold, and Yan Yu's face turned a little pale.

The situations on Empress Dowager Zheng's side kept getting worse, and Yan Yu even wanted to stay at home and recuperate.

Princess Xianyi still found it funny: "The person she rewarded is really so shallow that he would steal your food?"

Yan Yu smiled and nodded: "It's something that happened before. Maybe he felt that I just arrived and wanted to give me a warning."

It is not good for the Queen Mother and her people to always be in the palace. She has to place a few spies in her own house for fear that one day these people will betray her and spread some remarks that are harmful to the palace to the outside world.

But if you can't find a suitable excuse to send them away, you might give them a handle if you are not careful.

Today's incident could just scare them and make them behave themselves.

After returning, Yan Yu looked at Ning Xia's face and asked Ruidong to bring a bottle of medicine.

Ningxia's face is now swollen, which looks shocking. She needs to apply some medicine and take good care of herself for a few days.

Yan Yu sighed.

At this time, the Imperial Hospital also sent the medicine over. Both parties knew that Yan Yu would never take these medicines. It was hard to find out if there was anything strange in them. She must be safe about what she took. Although life was meaningless, it was definitely better than death at the moment.

......

The emperor has been ill recently and has only summoned a few ministers and eunuchs to the palace these days.

After staying out of the spotlight for a while, the Seventh Prince finally came out.

He felt very bitter in his heart. He originally thought that he had picked up a good concubine for free, but who knew that the Queen would mess up the situation today.

Originally, the Seventh Prince and the Fifth Prince had a very good relationship. They had liked to stick together since they were young, and the Seventh Prince especially loved to follow the Fifth Prince as his follower.

In the matter of the Ma family, the Seventh Prince felt that he had suffered a great loss, and couldn't help but feel resentful towards the Queen, and even a little resentful towards the Fifth Prince.

In the past, he might have been able to sway and lean towards the King of Qin's camp, but after this incident, he has no chance at all.

Although Xiao Chengji is not a good person, he has a bottom line and will not insult women, the elderly and children at will. After all, he is arrogant and cannot do things that make him feel ashamed of his status.

The Seventh Prince forced an unmarried girl to die with infamy, and he knew in his heart that Xiao Chengji would definitely look down on someone like him.

People with different ideals cannot work together. No matter how much the Seventh Prince is disgusted by what the Queen has done, he will eventually be tied to the Fifth Prince's ship.

The fifth prince Xiao Jiashan also knew what the queen had done, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with her actions.

In Xiao Jiashan's eyes, his mother had a very hard life, guarding an empty room day after day for ten years.

And the Queen did this for Xiao Jiashan's own good.

On the one hand, she hated Miss Ma, and on the other hand, the Queen felt insecure.

Worried that the Queen Mother could not support the Fifth Prince Xiao Jiashan, she turned to support the Seventh Prince Xiao Qirui.

What if Xiao Qiru really has the guts to covet a position that he doesn't deserve?

After this incident, the seventh prince Xiao Qirui was hated by the emperor and the military generals. No matter what, he had no chance of sitting on the throne.

Xiao Jiashan treated the Seventh Prince as a brother, but even the best of brothers still had to be on guard. He understood the Queen's thoughts and sincerely felt that there was nothing wrong with what the Queen did.

The subtle, competitive and comparative psychology between brothers even made Xiao Jiashan gloat over this incident.

It would be good to end Xiao Qiru's path to power.

In this way, Xiao Qiru will never be able to climb higher than him, and in front of him, he will always have to be humble and act as a considerate younger brother.

This time when they came back to the palace, the two brothers practiced horseback archery on the spacious racecourse. Xiao Jiashan smiled in the sun with his big white teeth showing: "Seventh Brother, your horseback archery skills are still not good enough. You didn't even hit the bull's eye at such a close distance."

Xiao Qirui laughed awkwardly: "I haven't been out with Fifth Brother for a long time. Fifth Brother's skills are getting better and better."
