After Nan Gongyang returned, he had Yuan Chun deliver a message to Li Luoshu's side, indicating that no one would suppress his official position anymore.
However, the person or specific reasons who suppressed his official position have not been mentioned.
Li Luoshu was naturally pleased upon receiving the message.
Although the person who suppressed his official position was not mentioned, nor was the reason provided.
However, Li Luoshu knew it very well in his heart.
As long as the matter was resolved, he didn't want to dwell on it any longer.
In the prince's mansion, inside the Prince's Palace.
Yu Yao lay lazily on the couch, flipping through a storybook.
At this moment, Si Hu's steps rushed in and excitedly told her that the princess was in trouble.
She lazily glanced at Si Hu and indolently asked, "What's the matter?"
Si Hu looked at the master and quickly said, "Master, I heard that the princess found out that the imperial concubine had a thin horse kept in a separate building. I don't know what happened in between, but I do know that the princess cut off the concubine's roots, and she bled a lot, it was frightening."
"Cut off??" Yu Yao looked shocked at Si Hu.
The princess is truly ruthless, turning the prince into a eunuch must be maddening.
"Yes, the concubine went crazy at that time. He grabbed the princess's hair and beat her violently. I heard he beat her very hard, even the servant girls couldn't stop him."
Si Hu glanced at the master and then went on to describe in vivid detail: "I heard that the princess was beaten until her face was swollen and her nose was black and blue. After that, she went to the palace to file a complaint. I don't know how the emperor will handle this matter."
Yu Yao's mouth twitched. Although the prince and the princess are married, the prince beating the princess is an offense against their ranks, and it is a disrespectful act to the royal family.
In history, there have been no cases where a concubine dared to do such a thing.
But thinking about what the princess did, it was normal for the concubine to become angry and strike back.
She thought that if the concubine hadn't been concerned about the princess's royal status and feared that it might blemish their family, there was a possibility he might have even killed her.
"Go and find out how things are going to be resolved, and see how the emperor is going to handle it."
Yu Yao smiled at Si Hu and said.
She guessed that Emperor Qiming would be too lazy to care, and he might even be secretly rejoicing over the misfortune.
Palace, the Imperial Hall.
Emperor Qiming looked at the princess who was crying hard in front of him, her nose and face swollen and bruised, feeling immeasurable satisfaction in his heart.
Although the concubine had his root cut, what he did was quite manly.
He also felt that the prince's beating was justified, and even thought that the prince's beating was not harsh enough.
Don't think he doesn't know that the black-clad men who attempted to assassinate Yan'er and his wife were sent by the princess.
If it weren't for the lack of evidence and the difficulty in dealing with it, how could he have kept her around?
"Alright, stop crying, it's not embarrassing either. The matter is none of my business, go back to the palace, Your Royal Highness."
Emperor Qiming waved his hand at the princess who was crying in sorrow and said coldly.
After that, he started to lower his head and deal with official business.
"Prince..."
The princess was shocked and looked at Emperor Qiming, forgetting to cry.
She was a princess of the royal family, and the concubine beating her was an act of defiance against their ranks and a disrespect to the royal family. Yet her uncle not only refused to intervene but even thought she was disgraceful?
After all, they were not siblings from the same mother. He even ignored her being bullied by the prince.
The princess became even more heartbroken.
She wanted to say something, but seeing Emperor Qiming's stern expression, she swallowed her words.
"Yes."
The princess left quickly, heartbroken.
On her way back.
The princess thought about Emperor Qiming's attitude and then remembered that she had sent men to attempt to assassinate Yan'er's wife. She couldn't help feeling a sense of guilt.
Emperor Qiming had indeed learned about it, but without evidence, he couldn't deal with her.
The princess felt increasingly anxious and then left the palace in a hurry, as if she were escaping.
As soon as Yu Yao received the news that the princess had left the palace with a sad expression, she immediately knew that Emperor Qiming hadn't taken care of the princess.
She smiled faintly and let the report messages Hu go down.
...
Over there, the concubine saw the princess go to the palace to file a complaint and became afraid, worried that the emperor would sentence himself to death.
Although he was no longer a man, no one wanted to die.
But upon seeing the princess return to the palace in a daze, the concubine realized that Emperor Qiming had not interfered with the matter.
At the same time, he also understood that the princess had lost the favor of the emperor and, as a princess without royal protection, the concubine naturally had nothing to fear.
His courage grew.
After recovering from his injuries, he began to take revenge on the princess, using particularly cruel methods.
The specifics of how twisted his methods were were unknown to outsiders.
But the maidservants who stood guard at the door often heard long screams of anguish and despair from within.
Fearing that something serious might happen, they hurriedly went to the palace to report.
Emperor Qiming and the Empress Dowager didn't care about this at all. All they said was that the princess had been married for many years, and this was just a matter between her and her husband. They weren't willing to get involved in any trivial matters that should be dealt with by themselves.
The messenger instantly knew that the emperor didn't want to get involved, so they stopped reporting any further news.
Due to the cold attitude of Emperor Qiming and the Empress Dowager, the concubine became even more severe in his treatment of the princess, using increasingly twisted methods.
However, within a few months, the princess was tortured to the point of unrecognizability. She had become as thin as a skeleton and looked like a ghost, which was quite frightening.
When Yu Yao heard this news, she merely thought that the princess deserved such a fate.
Time slowly passed, and before long, two months had flown by.
Yu Yao's belly had blown up like a balloon, looking like she was seven months pregnant even though she was only five months.
Everyone in Jin Mansion also knew that she was carrying twins.
They treated her like a precious gem, afraid that she might have any discomfort.
When Emperor Qiming knew about this, he specially assigned a skilled gynecologist to live in Jin Mansion and take care of Yu Yao's belly.
Shortly after the gynecologist moved into Jin Mansion, the Princess of Jin discovered that she was two months pregnant.
The news of the Princess of Jin's pregnancy was even more shocking than Yu Yao's twins.
The Princess of Jin was nearly forty, and at that age, she had very little chance of having sex or getting pregnant.
But the Princess of Jin was pregnant, which was as unbelievable as an old turtle carrying a pearl.
When the news spread out, everyone in the capital was shockingly taken aback.
Some people secretly cursed the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin for being too old to have sex and get pregnant. Otherwise, how could she be pregnant at such an old age?
Of course, there were many who were envious of her, especially those who were unable to conceive.
The people happiest about this were the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin. The servants in the Jin Mansion were all given a three-month bonus, showing just how elated they were.
Although Nán Gōng Yán was surprised, he had no objections. To him, it was just adding another brother or sister.
It's just that the age difference between them is quite large.
Mo Yun Hall.
The Princess of Jin gently stroked her belly with a smile on her face, looking extremely happy.
She was well aware that this was the King of Jin's child. Regardless of whether the child was a boy or a girl, it meant that he had something to pass on, which would fill her heart with regret and guilt.
With two pregnant women in the King of Jin's mansion, all the serving staff were extremely careful, afraid of anything that might go wrong.
Among them, the King of Jin and Nán Gōng Yán were the most anxious. One was constantly around the Princess of Jin and the other was constantly around Yu Yao.
People who didn't know would think that they were the ones pregnant.
Emperor Qiming in the palace was in a bad mood.
Specifically, it showed in his mood during the morning court, where he became more irritable and scolded the officials in full view of everyone. If he didn't like someone, he would even pull their official hats off.
Among them, the King of Jin was the one who was scolded the most.
The King of Jin was, of course, not pleased, but with so many joyous events in a row, he didn't take it to heart. He merely thought that his brother was jealous because he could still have a son at his age.
His arrogant expression made Emperor Qiming so angry that he wanted to demote him to a remote place where birds didn't even dare to land.
But thinking of Yan'er and the Princess of Jin, he ultimately didn't do so.
Prince Nán Gōng Mò looked on with a complex expression. He was even more certain that the Princess of Jin and Father had a secret relationship, and that Nán Gōng Yán was his brother.
Of course, he wouldn't say these things out loud and would rather that no one in the world knew about them.
