The rumors about the Fourth Prince's pursuit of fame and reputation grew more and more intense, and the good reputation he had worked so hard to build was almost destroyed in an instant.

The Fourth Prince had been shutting himself in to visitors because of the confinement of his wife. He was anxious and immediately sent a letter to invite Bai Wanyi into his residence to discuss the matter: "What should we do?"

Bai Wanyi's mind raced: "Looks like I have no choice but to put sanitary napkins on the agenda."

"What is that?" the Fourth Prince asked in confusion.

Bai Wanyi happened to have it with him, so he took it out to show the Fourth Prince and explained its purpose.

The Fourth Prince's eyes widened immediately, and he took several steps back, almost leaving the room. "What an unlucky thing! What are you doing with it?"

"What's unlucky about it?" Bai Wanyi's eyes widened. "You were born this way! If you didn't have this, where would you be? You really don't know anything and you're just talking nonsense!"

Bai Wanyi despised the world's attitude of avoiding menstruation like the plague. She wanted to explain the benefits of sanitary napkins to the Fourth Prince in detail, but was interrupted by the Fourth Prince: "If you don't have a good solution, you can leave now."

Bai Wanyi rolled his eyes: "This can directly win over a large number of court officials' families!"

"Hmm?" The Fourth Prince immediately became interested and took a step closer to Bai Wanyi: "Tell me about it."

Bai Wanyi told the story slowly and leisurely.

In the palace.

Although Li Zhaoyi was demoted, she had been in the palace for many years and had many connections. With the Fourth Prince by her side, the people in the palace gave her some face and allowed her to move not in the middle of the night, but on the first day of the new year, after breakfast, and move to Yinghua Palace.

From Imperial Concubine to Zhaoyi, her rank was downgraded, the number of servants around her was reduced, and the number of ceremonial guards was also reduced by half.

The palace maid wanted to take her to Yinghua Palace in a carriage, but she insisted on walking: "I want to measure the distance from here to Yinghua Palace with my feet. I will walk there step by step, and in the future I will also walk back step by step."

The palace maids had no choice but to carry the sedan chair and follow her carefully.

Lu Linglong was very happy to know that a new person would come to live with her on New Year's Day. She was especially happy to see that the imperial concubine, who used to be high and mighty, was actually living in the same palace with her.

"Why are you here? Aren't you the imperial concubine?" Lu Linglong circled around Li Zhaoyi.

The palace maids scolded, "Our Concubine Zhaoyi is not polite! The concubines still don't know the rules as usual!"

Lu Linglong snorted softly and said, "She's been demoted from Imperial Concubine to Imperial Concubine Zhaoyi, and she still wants me to greet her?"

After saying this, Lu Linglong came up to Li Zhaoyi with a smile and said, "You're pretty good. You left here and came back here. It's so nice to live in a familiar palace."

Li Zhaoyi finally looked at her: "What did you say?"

Lu Linglong blinked her eyes and said, "The steward of Yinghua Palace said that you left from Yinghua Palace, isn't that right?"

Li Zhaoyi looked around the dilapidated Yinghua Palace and sneered, "Why would I live here? What did that steward say that made you think I used to live here?"

Lu Linglong reacted: "But the steward said that there was a noble concubine in Yinghua Palace. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Li Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows and sneered, "There was indeed a noble concubine here before, but I don't think you want to know what happened to her."

Lu Linglong looked at her strange smile and felt a little nervous: "What will happen?"

Li Zhaoyi watched the palace servants clean up the main hall and said quietly, "That imperial concubine, she's dead."

Lu Linglong's eyes suddenly widened. When she realized what was happening, she realized that Li Zhaoyi's men had entered the main hall. She hurriedly tried to stop them, "You want to live in the main hall? No! This is where I live!"

Li Zhaoyi ignored her and said, "I have the highest position in Yinghua Palace, so why can't I live here?"

Lu Linglong stamped her feet. "We agreed before that I would live in Yinghua Palace alone! Why should I give it to you just because you're here?"

The palace maid brought an armchair for Li Zhaoyi, covered it with a thick mattress, and placed a foot warmer on it. After Li Zhaoyi sat down, she covered herself with a fox fur coat and hugged the hand warmer. She then said, "In this palace, strength is respected. If you have the ability to climb up, I won't mind cooking for you in the main hall. If you don't have the ability, then just stay here."

Her eyes suddenly became sharp: "Now that I live with you, you'd better not cause me any trouble, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

"The Crown Princess is my former sister-in-law. Let's see how you can be rude to me!" Lu Linglong rolled her eyes at Li Zhaoyi.

Li Zhaoyi suddenly stood up and grabbed Lu Linglong's neck, chuckling softly, "I was sent to Yinghua Palace by the Crown Princess. Tell me, if the Crown Princess was close to you, would she send me to torture you? Hmm?"

Lu Linglong looked at Li Zhaoyi in horror. Just when she thought she was dead, Li Zhaoyi released her neck, slowly sat back down, took the handkerchief handed to her by the palace servant, wiped her hands, and said, "So, you better behave yourself. Do you understand?"

Lu Linglong nodded vigorously. How could she dare to provoke this evil spirit?

Not only did Lu Linglong not dare to do so, she also stood by, feeling the cold wind, watching Li Zhaoyi sitting warmly. She watched helplessly as the main hall of Yinghua Palace, which had not been repaired for several months, was renovated and decorated in just over half an hour, and Li Zhaoyi was welcomed in.

It was not until the door of the main hall slammed shut that Lu Linglong shuddered, turned around and hurried back to her room.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, some people were busy visiting relatives and friends, some were busy trying to restore their reputation, some were busy moving, and some just returned to the East Palace after finishing their work.

Qin Wan had been up all night, her eyes barely open, but her mind was still racing: "Miss Mudan succeeded, but I don't know whether this move will mean her life or death."

Xie Qing thought of the imperial physician's diagnosis and shook his head. "I secretly sent an imperial physician to examine her. She won't make it through the winter. She's willing to risk her life to give others a chance to survive and disgust Old Four. I'll let her leave comfortably."

How can you feel comfortable when you let someone die?

But it's better than living in pain.

"Although these old princes are kind-hearted and eager to do good, they are also old foxes. I am not sure whether they will intervene when it comes to the fight for the throne, but you are certain that he will intervene. Why?" Xie Qing looked at Qin Wan. As a member of the royal family, he didn't know as much about these old princes as Qin Wan did.

Qin Wan was very good at reading people's hearts. She smiled and said, "The old prince's kindness and eagerness to help others will definitely make him listen to Mudan's words. As long as he listens to Mudan, he will definitely help."

"Because he won't allow the Great Zhou Dynasty to fall into the hands of someone seeking fame and reputation. Today, he can disregard the lives of these women for a charity performance, but who knows if he won't disregard the lives of ordinary people for other gains in the future?"

"The fourth prince may not be able to seize the throne, but the old prince will not allow any signs that are detrimental to the Great Zhou to arise."
