After returning to the side hall, Mu Yunge looked at Yan Fei thoughtfully and asked, “Xiao Xi, what exactly happened to Crown Prince Brother tonight?”
Yan Fei shook his head blankly: “This servant doesn’t know. Princess, you should rest early.”
Mu Yunge nodded and lay back down.
Meanwhile, in Consort Shu’s palace, Zi Ling’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
She had been waiting for this day for far too long.
Tonight, she had saved several eunuchs and palace maids. Now, she would have people she could use in the harem.
However, Zi Ling felt a little regretful when she thought about how the handsome eunuch Qi Xi from her previous life hadn’t been implicated this time.
One Qi Xi was worth hundreds of the eunuchs and palace maids she had subdued.
But it didn’t matter. Zhou Hao would ascend the throne in eight years. As long as she secretly assisted him during this time, securing her own position would be enough.
A few days later, news of Consort Yi’s sudden death spread, and the palace suddenly lost dozens of eunuchs and maids.
At the same time, Zi Ling also met Zhang Feng, the loyal male supporting character.
Zhang Feng was originally Zi Ling’s childhood betrothed before she entered the palace, but later, when her father and younger brother contracted the plague and had no money for treatment, her mother sold her to the palace.
Upon learning this, Zhang Feng diligently practiced martial arts, hoping to one day be selected for the imperial guard and enter the palace to find Zi Ling.
However, it took him two or three years to finally find her.
Zi Ling was naturally overjoyed to see him again. She now had another powerful ally!
After seeing the tall, imposing man through the system, Mu Yunge let out a cold laugh.
Finally appeared?!
She had been waiting for so long!
Let’s see how she tears apart this pair of treacherous, scheming lovers!
…
Following the incident of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince ‘causing trouble in the palace’, the Great Zhou Dynasty was struck by a snow disaster.
The Emperor immediately dispatched the Crown Prince and the Third Prince on official business, showing that he valued the two very much, which made the other princes very envious of them.
But only the two of them and Prime Minister Qin knew that if this task was not handled well, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince would be finished!
Upon learning that the Crown Prince had been sent on a mission, the Empress became increasingly uneasy. Although the Emperor had occasionally assigned tasks to Zhou Ti in the past two years, this was the first time he had undertaken such a major task as disaster relief.
A little over a month later, the Empress’s unease was confirmed.
The funds allocated by the court for disaster relief had been intercepted!
Eight million taels of silver had vanished without a trace!
Crown Prince Zhou Ti was nearly scared out of his wits and overwhelmed with worry. He fell ill within days and was said to be on the verge of death.
Upon hearing of the theft of the disaster relief funds, the Emperor was initially furious. However, news soon arrived from the Third Prince that the Crown Prince had contracted a severe cold and was in critical condition.
Immediately, the Emperor dispatched people to handle the matter and sent the imperial physician to examine the Crown Prince.
When the imperial physician arrived, the Crown Prince appeared to have aged twenty years, radiating an aura of death.
Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived in time, bringing with him a cartload of precious medicinal herbs, which saved the Crown Prince’s life.
