Xu Miaoyan was knocked unconscious and locked up in the woodshed. Lu Qing was watching from the door without moving a step away.
"Why are you always here?"
"You're back." Lu Qing moved her feet and moved to Yan Fuguang's side, "What did the emperor say?"
Yan Fuguang hugged her shoulders: "It doesn't matter what he said. It's just a formality. One by one, he owes me, and I want him to remember it."
Lu Qing felt sorry that he had no one to help him. There were many things that a discerning person could understand at a glance. Emperor Xihe always wanted to protect Empress Xu and her son.
"What should I do with Concubine Xu?"
"Leave it to the princess to let the Ning family vent their anger and let them understand who is the one who poisoned Ning Huayue."
It has to be said that the Ning family did stay away from Queen Xu completely because of this.
Mrs. Ning even made a special trip to the palace and said in front of Queen Xu: "I used to treat you as a relative, but I don't know what to say anymore. From now on, you will be your queen, and our Ning Mansion has nothing to do with you anymore. But , if anyone plots against the Ning Mansion again, my father-in-law has said that he will risk his life to seek justice for the Ning family in front of the emperor!"
Queen Xu was furious: "Don't forget the benefits you got from me in the past!"
"So this is your excuse for wanting Yue'er's life? You can even do things like poisoning. Our Queen is truly a mother to the world!"
Mrs. Ning's eyes turned red: "You were involved in many of the plans for the Wei family in the Jin Prince's Palace in the past. If you don't want me to tell anyone about it, we will write it off."
She suddenly woke up. If Empress Xu hadn't secretly encouraged Ning Huayue to dominate the palace, her daughter would not have no feelings for Prince Jin, and her son would not be implicated.
It was Queen Xu's unkindness that harmed their family.
Not only that, Mrs. Ning also went to Prince Jin's Mansion and told Ning Huayue: "Ms. Xu can't let her die easily. I brought her to your yard as a maid and put her in front of you to train her, so that she can live and die!"
Ning Huayue's body was destroyed by Xu Miaoyan's poison, and to this day, she has not gotten out of bed.
But her hatred for Xu Miaoyan was very strong, and she held Mrs. Ning tightly with her slender hands: "Mother, did the Queen Mother instruct her?"
Mrs. Ning lovingly pushed the broken hair on Ning Huayue's forehead behind her ears, her eyes were gentle and ruthless: "It's her, so you should torture Mrs. Xu to vent your anger. The people in the Xu family are not good people." .”
Ning Huayue had a severe headache and took the antidote. However, the poison had eroded her body for such a long time, and the harm caused by it could not be healed for a while.
"Mom, I'm sleepy..."
Mrs. Ning watched Ning Huayue sleep quietly, and Grandma Wang came in quietly.
"Madam, Mrs. Xu brought it."
Mrs. Ning bent down to tuck the quilt in for Ning Huayue, walked outside, pulled out the hairpin from her head, and plunged it into Xu Miaoyan's arms.
"This is just the beginning. If you do something for the Queen, you will have to bear the consequences for her!"
Xu Miaoyan's mouth was gagged, but the bone-chilling pain shot from her arm still made her groan.
From that day on, Xu Miaoyan became an inconspicuous maid in Yihongyuan. She lived under the eyes of Grandma Wang and others day and night, and suffered tremendous torture when she worked. From beginning to end, She didn't even wait for Queen Xu to come, and she had already lost hope for the future.
**
Empress Xu seemed to have forgotten about Xu Miaoyan, and she had recovered a lot. Yan Xianzhi also tested Emperor Xihe's bottom line, slowly trying to move around, and resumed his life before being imprisoned.
There is some truth to what Queen Xu said. As long as Yan Xianzhi is released, his status as the legitimate son of the palace can also become his bargaining chip.
There was another wave in the court to restore Yan Xianzhi as the crown prince, and everyone was quarreling.
Yan Xianzhi came to Yan Fuguang sternly, with a villain's success written all over his fat face that looked more and more like Emperor Xihe: "Third brother, what did those ministers say to me this morning? Did you hear me? You can't compete with me. The son of a merchant girl has unorthodox bloodline, and my father will not pass it on to you."
Jiang Feng made an appointment with him to talk about something. Yan Fuguang didn't want to get involved with him. He glanced at him and said coldly: "You started jumping around again? Do you believe I will send you in and lock you up again?"
Yan Xianzhi was quite angry. Before he could reply, Yan Fuguang walked away.
The sharp-eyed eunuch reported this scene to Emperor Xihe. Emperor Xihe patted the table and scolded: "It's useless! Take out the imperial edict I prepared earlier!"
Emperor Xihe made a decision in his heart.
In the morning, Yan Fuguang went to the outside room and was washed by Fang Jinbao.
As soon as Fang Jinbao saw this posture, he knew that Concubine Wei was not up, so he subconsciously followed Yan Fuguang in moving softly and speaking in a low voice.
"What would you like for breakfast?"
Yan Fuguang neatly changed into court clothes, lowered her head to adjust her belt, and replied casually: "It's not sweet."
Fang Jinbao responded and turned to give instructions to the kitchen.
The weather is really nice today, and the slightly cool breeze in the air feels very comfortable.
In the morning, Yan Fuguang stood in front and listened for a while. They were all insignificant matters, and he just held his hands and wandered around with peace of mind.
The weather was nice. After finishing the work in the Criminal Department, he took Lu Qing out for a walk. The weather was getting hot, so she could dress up. He also had to take her to pick out more jewelry...
Thinking of every little thing, Yan Fuguang felt happy in his heart.
He moved his feet slightly and stood up straighter.
Suddenly, Emperor Xihe, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at him and showed a loving smile.
Yan Fuguang suppressed the smile on his face and thought, what happened again?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xihe was not here to cause trouble for him.
"Ahem!" He coughed twice, quelling the noisy courtiers. Then after they all shut up, the old god ordered the eunuch standing aside, "Read the imperial edict. !”
The eunuch shook the imperial edict in his hand, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says: Since I came to the throne... The third son of the emperor, Yan Fuguang, belongs to God's will, and the sun is extraordinary... Yu Xi and the four On the sixth day of July in the fifteenth year, he was established as the crown prince and took the throne in the East Palace..."
When Emperor Xihe did not want to establish a prince, the courtiers were quarreling back and forth. Now that the imperial edict has been read, there is silence in the palace.
Yan Changfeng was the first to react, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "Father is wise! See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The courtiers knelt down one by one: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a thousand lives, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
The exciting moment has arrived, and Yan Fuguang has no waves in his heart.
He received the imperial edict and knelt down to express his gratitude: "My dear father, thank you very much."
Emperor Xihe was very happy, and immediately asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the establishment of a prince, and left the court happily.
Yan Xianzhi was stunned as if struck by lightning, speechless.
Yan Fuguang glanced at him lightly, neither proud nor happy.
For him, the status of prince only means responsibility.
