Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 240 No Longer Helping in the Fight for the 5th Princess 16

Xu Han shook his head. There was no treasure inside at all. His men almost turned the entire house upside down, but still found nothing suspicious.

"Could it be that the bitch took it away?"

"impossible."

Xu Han has been sending people to monitor him. It is absolutely impossible for An Ning to take away so many things quietly. Besides, he got the treasure map by chance from the parchment scroll, and no one else could know about it.

The queen became irritated again upon hearing this, rubbing her increasingly painful forehead. Everything has been against her lately!

Xu Han felt that something was wrong with his mother's condition. She was not so irritable in the past. He consulted the trusted doctor Wang, who came to the conclusion that she had excessive liver fire. There was nothing else to say.

After prescribing a few prescriptions for clearing heat, she sent the person away. The mother and son sat in silence for a while, and then the prince felt depressed and returned to the East Palace.

Before the situation had calmed down for a while, a eunuch came running in, shouting that something was wrong with the emperor's grandson. He hurried to see the child, but when he arrived, his son was already dead. He was extremely angry, as this was the emperor's eldest grandson, so he ordered a thorough investigation.

After much investigation, he found out that it was a dispute between wives and concubines. He didn't believe it and felt that this matter must be related to the third prince, so he turned to attack the third prince's offspring.

Xu Zesui didn't know the other party's intention. Although he was not his own child, he absolutely could not tolerate provocation from him, so he asked someone to add a heavier dose to the queen's meal.

Originally, the Queen's palace was like an iron barrel, so it was naturally difficult to take action. However, in the past two years, the Queen always loved to criticize the servants, and had lost a lot of their loyalty. With Xu Tao's interference, it became much easier for Xu Ze to take action.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince were originally watching the show, but were dragged into the battle by the mad dog-like third prince. They had no choice but to go into the sea and join in the chaos.

Emperor Xuan Jin saw it clearly, said nothing, and sat quietly on the Diaoyutai.

They could make their own noise, but Concubine Shu had her daughter and sisters to protect her, and she lived safely until September. When she was about to give birth, she stayed in the house and lay comfortably on the chaise longue.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan requests an audience."

"Reject it."

After receiving the response, Concubine Yuan left immediately.

Wen Yurui's eyelids were twitching and her heart was pounding. She felt like something bad was about to happen.

As soon as Xu Tao entered the room, she saw her mother's pale face and hurried over to comfort her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"After Concubine Yuan came today, I have been feeling uneasy."

Xu Tao inquired about what had happened, called in the young palace maid, and asked Dongxue to check carefully. She smelled nothing wrong. She took the people outside and searched carefully, but still found nothing.

"An Ning, take a rest. Maybe mother is overthinking it."

Xu Tao shook her head. Concubine Yuan's brain was as big as her chest, so it was impossible for her not to cause trouble. She sneaked into Concubine Yuan's palace in the middle of the night and lay on the tiles to eavesdrop.

The shadow guards knew it was the fifth princess, so they turned a blind eye.

"Caiwei, I hope what happened today won't be discovered."

Caiwei glanced at the other person with disdain and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are just visiting. How can we blame you if something goes wrong? Besides, you have already had pox, it is impossible for you to have symptoms again, so there is no way we can suspect you."

After being comforted by the palace maid, Concubine Yuan calmed down a lot, but her hands were still shaking.

Xu Tao's face turned cold and he rushed back to Yunhua Palace. He gave his mother a bowl of spiritual spring water and made soup for all the palace maids and eunuchs the next morning. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone drank it.

After waiting for a few days, Concubine Yuan did not receive any bad news about Concubine Shu. Instead, her body became weaker and weaker, and she often fell into a coma. One day, she woke up in a daze and heard two palace maids whispering. When she learned the truth, she was furious.

"Mother concubine!"

Although Xu Ze resented his mother for not being able to help him, he still felt a little sad because he hadn't seen her for just a few days and she had become so thin.

The ninth princess had already burst into tears, calling for her mother over and over again.

"Son...son, mother will not be able to see you ascend to the throne. Mother...mother is always under the control of the empress..."

Before he could finish his words, his hands dropped limply and he died.

"Mother concubine!"

The Ninth Princess was so angry that she wanted to go to the Queen to settle the score, but was stopped by her brother. She said madly: "Royal brother, why are you stopping me? I want to go find that vicious woman!"

"and then?"

The Ninth Princess was speechless. Yes, then, she would be punished and grounded, unable to do anything. She sat down dejectedly on the edge of the bed, clutching her mother's hand, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't worry, I will avenge my mother."

The death of Concubine Yuan plunged the princes and the harem into a strange silence.

"Pipa, this palace is in pain."

With previous experience, Pipa had already made all the arrangements and instructed the palace servants to perform their duties.

When Xu Tao arrived, he heard a woman screaming in pain from inside. He tried to break in but was stopped. He was so anxious that he jumped outside the door.

"Don't worry, An Ning, Concubine Shu is blessed by heaven and will be able to give birth to a child safely."

When the emperor received the news, he rushed over immediately and happened to meet the queen who was late. He glanced at her and said nothing.

The queen looked at the man who hurried in, her heart ached, her brows raised and she was about to get angry. The palace maid beside her was startled and hurried over.

"My lady, let's go in first."

The queen pinched the arm she was supporting, took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and slowly walked into Yunhua Palace.

The palace maid's face was distorted due to being pinched, but she dared not utter a word. She clenched her teeth and looked extremely painful.

Manju, who was placed by the prince next to the queen, glanced at him, stepped forward to support the queen, and received a grateful look from the little palace maid.

"You go down first."

The little palace maid bowed and left quickly. When she reached a deserted corner, she found that her hand had been pinched and was bleeding, and tears fell from her eyes.

When will this kind of life end? She thought being assigned to the Queen's Palace was a good job, but in just half a month, her body was covered with bruises. If this continues, her life will be in danger.

No one in the Queen's palace can ever leave Fengxiang Palace unless they die or the Queen is deposed. The more the little palace maid thought about it, the bleaker her future seemed.

When I saw the palace wall, I had the urge to crash into it. I was going to die sooner or later anyway, so I might as well die quickly and avoid being tortured to death.

Just as they were about to collide, they were stopped by a sister.

"Why are you so depressed? If you're not afraid of death, what else can you be afraid of? You should always cherish this life. Who knows if there will be an afterlife? As long as you're alive, you have hope. Take this money, make some arrangements, and ask a nanny to arrange a quiet place for you. When you turn 25, you can leave the palace."

The little palace maid looked at the receding figure, clenched the silver in her hand, wiped her eyes and returned to Fengxiang Palace.

Inside Yunhua Palace, the Empress's gaze remained fixed on Emperor Xuan Jin. Seeing him looking troubled, her anger was aroused again. She glanced at the concubines present and said provocatively, "In the past, the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Shu had a very close relationship, but now the Imperial Concubine has not come yet..."
