Then he drove all the other servants out of the main hall. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
He then said, "Didn’t Mother mention a few days ago that she wanted to get rid of the Imperial Aunt?"
"Have you found an opportunity?"
"Tomorrow is the Imperial Aunt’s birthday, Xie Ruiyao will go back to offer birthday wishes."
Upon hearing her son’s words, Zhao Mengyu naturally understood, "Make sure Xie Ruiyao is well instructed, don’t let anyone catch any leverage against us."
"I won’t let Xie Ruiyao do this; if there’s any slip, I can’t disassociate myself from it."
"I had Xie Ruiyao visit the Song Family today to find Ruolin," Xiao Jinsen said with a sinister smile.
Zhao Mengyu looked at her son.
"Ruolin is the one who most wants something to happen to the Imperial Aunt. She won’t refuse."
Zhao Mengyu nodded, "Don’t create unnecessary complications."
"Rest assured, Mother."
"Tomorrow, help me bring some gifts to the Duke Mansion," Zhao Mengyu said, her eyes flashing with malice, "Even if Qin Junsheng has the Emperor’s favor, she’s no match for me!"
"Absolutely not," Xiao Jinsen affirmed with certainty.
At that moment, Zhao Mengyu really wished she could tear Qin Junsheng to pieces.
Prince Chen’s Mansion.
Ye Qichi finished experimenting with medical prescriptions and was feeding the chubby rabbit.
He sensed someone behind him.
Ye Qichi didn’t even turn his head.
He just heard Lu You kneeling on the ground and speaking, "Greetings to the Prince."
Life has been peaceful during this time,
No significant events had happened at the court.
Xiao Jinxing also hadn’t been coming to trouble her much.
Most likely, there was a matter at hand.
"Yesterday, Father favored Qin Junsheng," Xiao Jinxing said.
Ye Qichi knew it was about this.
Otherwise, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t have been interested in visiting her.
"Then have someone monitor Qin Junsheng to prevent any accidents," Ye Qichi reminded.
"Father just favored Qin Junsheng; the Imperial Concubine won’t make a rash move, and Xiao Jinsen isn’t that foolish," he replied.
"Indeed," Ye Qichi felt Xiao Jinxing’s reasoning made sense.
"If things go as expected, Qin Junsheng is just the first concubine Father starts favoring; many more will follow."
"In that case, the Imperial Concubine will probably be infuriated," Ye Qichi could just imagine how dark Zhao Mengyu’s face would be.
"Over time, Xiao Jinsen and the Imperial Concubine will become impatient. Especially if any concubine bears offspring."
"So, what did you come to see me for today?" Ye Qichi dusted off her hands and turned to look at Xiao Jinxing.
The man was standing under the sun, sunlight spattering all over him,
Overwhelmingly handsome.
Ye Qichi casually averted her gaze.
"I want the other concubines to conceive sooner," Xiao Jinxing stated bluntly.
Ye Qichi knew it, this guy never visits without a reason.
"Aren’t you afraid of having several more to compete with you for the throne?" Ye Qichi raised her eyebrows.
Isn’t this what Zhao Mengyu worries about?
That’s why she took such great risks over the years to reach this point.
"They are not worthy," Xiao Jinxing said indifferently,
His tone was not contemptuous but conveyed bone-deep confidence.
Look at this grandeur.
Much bigger than Zhao Mengyu and Xiao Jinsen’s.
"I’ve developed the formula today; you take it to the Imperial Palace and have the concubines consume it daily. The effects on conception are quite significant."
"Hmm," Xiao Jinxing responded.
Having said what needed to be said,
Ye Qichi turned to leave.
"Ye Qichi," Xiao Jinxing called to her again.
"Anything else?" Ye Qichi asked.
Not particularly patient with Xiao Jinxing.
Once business is done, we go our separate ways.
"Today at the morning court, I bumped into your father," Xiao Jinxing said.
Don’t I bump into my father at the court every day?!
Ye Qichi looked at Xiao Jinxing,
"He said, your mother has given birth."
"What?!" Ye Qichi was somewhat excited.
She’s been in this book for a year without realizing it.
It was agreed that she would divorce Xiao Jinxing after a year,
An everlasting bond that cannot be broken.
Mad, she fumes just thinking about it.
"Do you know if my mother bore a boy or a girl?" Ye Qichi asked.
"After finishing the prescription today, tomorrow the King grants you permission to return to the Minister Mansion," Xiao Jinxing declared coldly.
Ye Qichi clicked her tongue.
The Prince is as brutally pragmatic as ever.
Princess Xiao Qinghui’s birthday feast.
Xiao Qinghui didn’t like crowds, so in recent years, her birthday feast was simply a family gathering, watching some opera performances.
