Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

After scolding Chu Yanluo, Yuan Zheng pulled out her belt, tied her up, and dragged her out.

There was no way Chu Yanluo was willing to be dragged out like this. If she was dragged out like this, she would lose all her dignity and face!

She held onto a table leg tightly, refusing to let go: "Yuan Zheng, let me go! Even if you don't believe that Gu Qianhan likes me, you should at least believe in my abilities! I can make a lot of snacks and pastries that you have never seen before. I can teach the chef at Qingyunlou to make them. I guarantee that your Qingyunlou will make a lot of money!"

It would have been fine if she didn't mention this matter. Yuan Zheng got even angrier when she did.

He turned around and kicked her mercilessly: "You jinx, my Qingyun Building used to have a prosperous business, earning tens of thousands of taels of silver every day, but now you've caused me to lose money! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have believed your lies!"

Chu Yanluo screamed and wailed after being kicked. She waited until Yuan Zheng had finished venting his anger before she gritted her teeth and spoke again: "Don't hit me anymore. Besides snacks, I have other ways to make money. I have secret recipes for removing scars and beautifying the skin. These are all fatally attractive to women. I can definitely help you make money. Please, let me go."

Yuan Zheng believed that she knew how to beautify and maintain her skin, after all, her face was white and tender. But when she said she knew how to remove scars, he didn't believe it.

He looked at the scar on Chu Yanluo's face and smiled disdainfully: "If you really have a good medicine to remove scars, why don't you remove the scar on your face?"

Chu Yanluo lay on the ground, feeling as if all the bones in her body were about to break. She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. She said weakly, "I scratched the scar on my face on purpose, but I dared to hurt my face like this because I have a good scar removal medicine. Otherwise, why would I be so cruel to myself? If you don't believe me, you can wait a few days and see. When I make the ointment, I will try it on my own face for you to see."

Yuan Zheng was very keen on making money, because he had truly experienced the benefits of having a lot of money, and he wished he could monopolize all money-making businesses.

My maternal grandfather’s family was involved in many areas, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, but they had never been involved in the pharmacy.

But the profit in the pharmaceutical industry is actually quite high. A plant of Star Aniseed Ice Grass, which he had never heard of, could be sold for over a thousand taels of silver, and a Panacea Pill that was said to be able to cure a hundred poisons could be sold for over ten thousand taels of silver.

Several large-scale drugstores in the capital city can be said to be making a fortune every day, and the owners behind them are extremely wealthy.

If Chu Yanluo really has the ability to make the best scar removal medicine, then it is not impossible to keep her claws first.

Yuan Zheng kicked Chu Yanluo who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. "You have such a good medicine, why didn't you take it out earlier? Do you have to be beaten half to death before you tell me? Humph! Evil people need to be dealt with by evil people. A scum like you needs to be dealt with by a scum like me!"

Chu Yanluo was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word.

She hated Yuan Zheng so much that she decided to kill him first after her injuries healed!

As night falls, all the major restaurants are brightly lit, and countless small vendors appear on the streets. They start shouting at the top of their lungs, and from time to time people go to the stalls to buy things. Everywhere is a bustling scene.

A team of armored guards rode quickly through the street, causing people shopping on the street to avoid them and look sideways.

"These seem to be the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion. What happened? Where are they going?"

"Oh, didn't you hear? Prince Ning is in trouble!"

"What happened to him? Did he get into a fight with someone over Chu Yanluo again?"

"No, this time it wasn't because of Chu Yanluo. I heard that he got into a fight with someone because of another woman!"

"Who is this? How dare he hit even Prince Xiao?"

"I don't know who it was. It seems he wasn't from the capital, because he didn't know Prince Xiao at all and beat him to death!"

"What? Prince Xiao was beaten to death?!"

"How is this possible! How could such a romantic man die like this? And he didn't die for Chu Yanluo?"

"And I also heard that in order to destroy the body, that person beat Xiao Shizi to death and took the body to a building that was about to collapse. After the building collapsed, Xiao Shizi was buried directly inside!"

"So, the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion went to collect the body of Prince Xiao? Prince Ning died just like that?"

In a short while, the news that Xiao Qingyuan was beaten to death for a woman spread throughout the capital.

After hearing the news, Princess Ning fainted on the spot.

Prince Ning didn't believe that his son was dead, so he rushed out of the house and went to look for him himself.

There was chaos and confusion in the palace, and the people were in panic. Shen Wantang gave acupuncture to the princess while issuing orders to calm people down.

At the same time, she also sent more people to assist King Ning.

Half an hour later, Princess Ning woke up, but Prince Ning had not returned yet.

Princess Ning held Shen Wantang's hand tightly and asked, "Any news about Yuan'er?"

Shen Wantang shook her head: "No news yet. The building collapsed severely, and the prince is still leading people to clean it up. The cleanup process is slow because they are afraid that if the prince is inside, a second collapse will hurt him."

Princess Ning's eyes were red: "No news is the best news, right?"

"Yes, mother, don't worry. The prince will be safe. Those rumors outside are not reliable. The people I sent out earlier have already found the prince's whereabouts. The prince was not beaten to death and then taken to the building. When the prince went to the building, he was clearly still alive. Mo Ji followed him, and many people saw it."

Princess Ning burst into tears: "My son is not dead? My son is still alive, right?"

In fact, Shen Wantang was not very confident. Xiao Qingyuan was trapped in the collapsed building and his hope of survival was not very high.

But she still responded to her mother-in-law: "Yes."

After calming the mother-in-law down, they began a long wait together.

It was not until late at night that Prince Ning returned.

Returning with him was Xiao Qingyuan, who was carried into the palace.

When Princess Ning received the news that they were returning, she came out to greet them early. But when she saw her son being carried back, his life or death unknown, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Shen Wantang and Nanny Quan immediately supported her on both sides.

"Yuan'er!"

Princess Ning staggered forward and cried, "My son, what happened to you?"

Prince Ning's voice was extremely hoarse: "Yingzhen, quickly send someone to invite the imperial physician! Yuan'er is still alive, but he is seriously injured!"

Princess Ning turned to look at Shen Wantang and said, "Go get the imperial physician!"

Shen Wantang replied, "Mother, the imperial physicians have been invited and are waiting in the prince's courtyard. There are three of them in total, some are good at emergency treatment of internal and external injuries, and all of them are excellent doctors."

Princess Ning was overjoyed: "Great, great! Quick, quickly carry the prince to his yard!"
