After Liu Yanyan finished her meal, she stood up and saw Yuzhu and Yuzhen had already registered and put away their things. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. Today, the monthly salary of the maids and servants in the courtyard will be doubled. Just be happy with it and don't tell anyone."

Yuzhu, Yuzhen and the others happily covered their mouths and laughed secretly, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward. Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "Okay, okay, as long as you are happy."

After Yuzhu and Yuzhen left, Liu Yanyan looked at Liu Wu who was hesitant to speak and said, "Tell me! What's the matter?"

Liu Wu replied respectfully, "My king, my princess, the last time someone was sent to assassinate you, it was the eldest prince, instigated by the fifth prince. When the emperor found out, he put the blame on the Lan family. He didn't want the prince to find out, fearing that the prince would take their lives."

Liu Yanyan sneered, "Oh, really? The emperor is afraid that the prince will kill them? They all want me dead! Humph, I want to live well. The prince is not stupid, how could he do it directly."

"Your Majesty, do you know about this? How did you deal with it?"

Liu Wu said respectfully, "The prince didn't know at first, but he knew that they had already started preparations to eliminate the forces of the first and fifth princes. They are just still collecting evidence. They may want to catch them all in one fell swoop and defeat their forces."

Liu Yanyan took a sip of the teacup and said coldly, "Collect some evidence and send it to the prince. Don't let him notice it." It would be best if they could directly destroy the power of the two of them, and then let them have an accident. That would be perfect.

Liu Wu responded respectfully and left immediately.

Liu Yanyan looked out the window, her face getting colder and colder, her eyes full of murderous intent. She finished the tea in her hand and said calmly, "None of you can escape from what you owe me. I want you to pay me back a thousand times."

He put down the teacup in his hand, looked sinister, and walked towards the inner room only after seeing dark clouds blocking the moon.

Yuzhu, Yuzhen, make the bed and move the ice bucket away.

Yuzhu then spoke softly, "Princess!"

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu coldly and said, "Go away. I'll read a book and go to sleep later."

Yuzhu shook her head and said, "I can stay with you, light the lamp for you, and grind ink for you. Please let me accompany you!"

Seeing that she didn't want to leave, Liu Yanyan didn't try to persuade her. She just couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of the last time she fell asleep while standing.

A few days later, rest

It's dawn

Liu Yanyan was wearing a light green dress with emerald green peonies embroidered on the hem. She wore a light-colored peony silk flower on her head, a few sunflower gem hairpins, and a few pearl hairpins. She was beautiful, elegant and refined. She let Yuzhu support her as she walked out.

When she came to the main hall and sat in the main seat, she saw Concubine Li and Concubine Li bowing timidly, and said lightly, "Stand up! Sit down! We are all sisters, there is no need to be too formal."

Concubine Li then carefully sat down on the chair next to Concubine Li, her whole body very tense.

Concubine Li immediately smiled and said, "Sister Princess, why did you let Sister Li sit down? Didn't you say that she should set the rules when she comes out?"

Liu Yanyan raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Li. Seeing that she was still upset about washing her feet, she said, "There are only a few of us in the mansion. Sister Li is pregnant, so we need to take good care of her. She will give birth to children for the prince, so we should treat her better. Let's set rules and wait until she gives birth to the child! There is no need to rush."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li's chest heaved violently with anger, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she forced a smile, "Yes, Sister Li should be treated better. Take good care of yourself." She stared at Concubine Li's belly with poisonous eyes.

Concubine Li lowered her head, her whole body trembling, "Thank you, sister Princess. Sister Li is so distressed. I will definitely take good care of my body and protect the little master in my belly."

Seeing that she was so useless, Liu Yanyan ordered Nanny Wang beside her, "Since Nanny Wang has been protecting this baby from the beginning, then Nanny should move to Sister Li's courtyard first, until this baby is born safely, and then return to the main courtyard!"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang's face darkened and she said, "Princess, the prince arranged for me to stay in your courtyard. I'd better stay in the courtyard to take care of you! There is a court doctor in this mansion, and Master Li has a court doctor who can take care of him."

Liu Yanyan raised her eyes and looked at Nanny Wang. "Nanny Wang, you are joking. Sister Li is pregnant. Nanny Wang is my wet nurse and has more experience! Other young girls cannot be taken care of as well as Nanny can! When the baby is born, Nanny will come back and it will be the same. The house I arranged for you in this yard will remain."

Nanny Wang had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, Princess. I will take good care of Master Li and help her give birth to the baby safely." After saying that, she glanced at Concubine Li with disdain.

Concubine Li forced a wry smile, looked at Nanny Wang and thanked her, "Thank you for taking care of me, Nanny."

Nanny Wang looked at the dull Concubine Li and said respectfully and distantly, "Master Li, you are pregnant. It is my duty to take care of you. Don't worry, I will take good care of you." After saying that, she stood behind Concubine Li and glanced at Concubine Li vigilantly.

Seeing that the princess did not embarrass Concubine Li, did not directly make her miscarry, and even arranged for Nanny Wang to be by her side to protect her, Concubine Li was so angry that veins on her forehead were throbbing. She forced herself to hold back her anger, pulled out a pomegranate flower hairpin from her head, and said stiffly, "It's because the princess cares about Sister Li. I! I haven't prepared anything, so I'll give this hairpin to Sister Li as a token of my appreciation."

Concubine Li took the gilded hairpin and said, "Thank you, Sister Li. I will keep it well." After saying that, she put it in her hair.

Concubine Li then smiled triumphantly, "Sister Li, you look so beautiful wearing this hairpin."

Liu Yanyan looked at the pomegranate hairpin without a core on Concubine Li's head, her eyes darkened. "I don't have anything good to give Sister Li, so I'll give this bracelet to Sister Li as a lucky gift!"

Yuzhu came over carrying a tray with a pure gold auspicious cloud bracelet on it.

Concubine Li took the bracelet and put it on her hand, with a sincere smile on her face, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were deep, and she smiled and said, "Sister, you have helped the prince to have more children, and you are also a meritorious official in the palace. You don't have to call yourself a slave in the future. When you give birth to the baby in your belly, let the prince canonize you as a concubine."

Concubine Li looked up in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise, "Thank you, Princess Sister, thank you, sister."

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Li's belly and gnashed her teeth as she congratulated her, "Sister Li is so lucky!"

Concubine Li's face was full of joy, and she happily replied, "Thank you, Sister Li, I will definitely protect my baby."

Liu Yanyan also laughed, rubbed her forehead, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing this, the two of them stood up and bowed, "I'll take my leave and won't disturb you to rest."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, and only put down the teacup in her hand after seeing the two people leave.
