Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 929: Concubine Chen is different (66 reward points plus more)

If something happened to the Third Prince in Changchun Palace while she was raising him, she would not be able to explain it.

If she was already pregnant or had given birth to a prince at that time, people would think that she murdered the third prince for her own child.

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but feel fortunate now. When the third prince was still young, everyone thought that there was something wrong with him, but he was just developmentally delayed, and in the end it was Concubine Wang who raised him.

Otherwise, raising a child like this would be a real dilemma.

It seems that even though she worships Buddha every day, the Buddha still protects her.

……

Cining Palace.

Ever since the eldest princess was taken away by Li Changde, Empress Dowager Liu has been very uneasy and has been looking at the door.

Nanny Yuan came in with a bowl of black medicine and bowed, "Empress Dowager, I have already sent someone to wait outside the Yangxin Palace. When the eldest princess comes out, she will be brought back immediately. Don't worry about her."

"Come, I will serve you the medicine first."

Empress Dowager Liu leaned back on the soft pillow and drank the entire bowl of medicine.

Finally, she sighed: "I don't know when my body will get better..."

Even if she doesn't see the day when Duke Dingguo's Mansion realizes its long-cherished wish, she will still accompany the eldest princess as she grows up.

Nanny Yuan comforted her, "Empress Dowager, you are a phoenix from the ninth heaven. With the blessing of heaven and the careful care of the imperial physician, I believe your energy and spirit will soon recover."

Empress Dowager Liu could only comfort herself this way now: "I hope so."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a nanny walked in from outside trembling.

Seeing her, Nanny Yuan frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to take the princess back to the Cining Palace after she left the Yangxin Palace? Why did you come back alone?"

The nanny knelt on the ground, her face pale as she spoke: "Madam Yuan, the eldest princess was frightened today, and His Majesty said that she should be kept in the Yangxin Palace for care."

Empress Dowager Liu frowned immediately: "Frightened?"

"Why are you frightened? What happened to the eldest princess?"

Although the nanny had been waiting outside and did not know what exactly happened in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she knew the result that was made public.

She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has found out that the person who instigated the eldest princess is Xin'er from the palace of Concubine Wang."

"At first, Xin'er refused to admit it and crashed her head against a pillar, which frightened the princess..."

"Later, Concubine Wang wanted to pin the blame on Concubine Chun, but she couldn't stand the interrogation of Your Majesty and admitted that it was her who did it."

"But at this time, Xiao Tianzi from the Yikun Palace suddenly came to report that the Third Prince was crying non-stop. His Majesty did not punish Concubine Wang for the sake of the Third Prince. He only fined her salary and asked her to copy the palace rules in the Yikun Palace and reflect on her mistakes."

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Liu frowned even more tightly: "What did you say?!"

"Was this done by the princess?!"

How can it be!

Is Wangpin so bold that she dares to use Yun'er? !

The nanny said truthfully: "I don't know if there is any hidden story, but His Majesty said so..."

Empress Dowager Liu didn't believe that things would be so simple.

She wanted to summon Wangpin to Cining Palace for questioning, but it was already late, so Empress Dowager Liu said, "Send Wangpin to Cining Palace to attend to the patient tomorrow morning."

Although the emperor asked Concubine Wang to reflect on her mistakes by copying the palace rules in the Yiku Palace, he did not ban her from leaving. Empress Dowager Liu asked Concubine Wang to come to the Cining Palace under the pretext of attending to her illness, and no one could find any fault with her.

Nanny Yuan nodded and said, "I understand."

Queen Dowager Liu looked at the nanny kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "How is the eldest princess?"

The nanny was trembling with fear as she spoke: "Your Highness, I haven't seen the eldest princess since she entered the Palace of Mental Cultivation."

"But I heard from the palace maids that after the eldest princess was frightened, His Majesty immediately summoned the imperial physician for her. The imperial physician said that the eldest princess was not in any trouble and would be fine after resting for a while."

Empress Dowager Liu finally put her heart at ease, but she looked at the nanny with cold eyes, without a trace of emotion, saying: "I sent you to the Yangxin Palace, but you didn't bring the eldest princess back. What's the point of keeping such an incompetent slave?"

"Somebody come!"

Immediately, two strong maids came in and dragged the nanny out.

Obviously, she also understood what fate she would face. The color on her face instantly disappeared with fear, and she kept begging, "Mercy! Queen Mother, mercy..."

Seeing Empress Dowager Liu frowning in annoyance, Nanny Yuan immediately said, "Hurry up and shut up this slave girl!"

"The Queen Mother just took the medicine and needed to rest. What should I do if this slave disturbs her?"

The two maids answered "yes" and immediately took out something to cover the nanny's mouth.

Soon, the sound of sticks hitting flesh could be heard from outside...

Nanny Yuan helped Empress Dowager Liu lie down and said gently, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. This slave is useless today. I will send someone to bring the princess back tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Liu nodded but said nothing.

Neither she nor Nanny Yuan had ever thought that Nangong Xuanyu had no intention of letting the eldest princess return to the Cining Palace.

After all, the Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety. She was paralyzed in bed again, and her only comfort was the company of her granddaughter.

Does the emperor dare to take the eldest princess away from her? Isn't he afraid of being criticized by people all over the world?

……

Water Creek Pavilion.

Yingxiang rolled an egg on Concubine Chun's face, her eyes unable to conceal the indignation: "My lady, Concubine Wang is too much! Does she think she is so great just because she is the head of a palace? How dare she hit someone casually!"

"Has Concubine Wang forgotten that she is now a criminal? Isn't she afraid of making her crime even more serious by doing this?"

Although Concubine Chun was slapped, she did not feel as bad as she had imagined.

However...although she didn't mind being beaten, she had to think about what benefits she could gain from this incident.

It would be even better if I could step on Concubine Wang again!

Concubine Chun immediately stood up and said, "I will go to Zhongcui Palace now to report this to Concubine Chen!"

Yingxiang asked in confusion: "My lady, why do you want to go to Zhongcui Palace instead of Yangxin Palace?"

"If His Majesty saw that you were already wronged and beaten like this by the people who wronged you, he would definitely feel very distressed and would punish the concubine even more severely."

"And the Imperial Concubine Chen... I'm afraid she doesn't like you to begin with. Seeing you being beaten by the Imperial Concubine Wang, she might even be gloating in her heart. Will she seek justice for you?"

Concubine Chun sneered: "What do you know?"

"His Majesty is very busy. If I bother him with such a small matter, I'm afraid he won't sympathize with me. He will just think I'm done. In this way, his pity for me will fade a lot."

"But Concubine Chen is different..."
