His son was merely lustful, not coveting the throne, nor was he trying to poison him like other unfilial sons...

After such a comparison, the emperor actually felt a little relieved.

But he couldn't just let him go like that. There were so many beautiful women in the harem. If he happened to fool around with his concubines one day, the emperor would frown.

"As a prince, you are lustful and promiscuous! You will receive thirty strokes of the cane in court. From now on, you are forbidden to set foot in the harem. You will be confined to your own house for a year, and no one is allowed to visit you."

The Fourth Prince's legs went limp and his face turned pale.

The emperor's gaze fell on the maid who hadn't raised her head. "She seduced the prince and acted foolishly. I will punish her with a hundred lashes and throw her out of the palace."

[Don't be embarrassed, this palace maid has a very important background! ]

emperor:"???"

What kind of background could a little palace maid have?!

[This palace maid was exceptionally beautiful. After being caught in adultery, she attracted the emperor's attention with her good looks. While ostensibly assassinated, she was actually taken into the harem under a different identity. Little did anyone know that this woman was actually a drugged creature cultivated by the Southern Gu. Having intercourse with her, the Gu worm would enter the body through her bodily fluids.]

Emperor: Ah?

The emperor suddenly became suspicious of Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts. He was the emperor, he had seen all kinds of women, and how could he have any interest in a woman his son had slept with?!

The emperor hummed softly: "Raise your head."

He wanted to see what kind of beauty could make him fall in love...

The palace maid raised her head as she was told. Her face was beautiful and gentle, tears were in her eyes, and her pearly teeth were lightly biting her red lips, which made the emperor's heart tremble violently.

When the emperor thought of Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts just now, his body trembled, his back suddenly straightened, and he woke up.

His mood was different, and the way he looked at the palace maids was even more different.

"Where did you learn these seductive tricks? Someone, drag him away and burn him!"

[It works, this way there's no need to worry about the poison worms escaping! I never thought the emperor could resist such a beauty, he's truly worthy of his reputation!]

The emperor was very pleased with her praise and had a plan in mind.

This is much more useful than the Jinyiwei. It can also know the future through the past. Moreover, no matter how a little girl jumps around, she can't escape from his palm. In the future, won't all the major events in the world be under his control?

He thought again of He Yanting who had suddenly changed his words. Could it be that it was also because of her?

Then isn't the earthquake in Mobei a confirmed fact?

Thinking of this, the emperor's attention shifted to Jiang Zhiyu again.

Could this woman be the opportunity given by God to Tianqi?

The Fourth Prince and the palace maids were dragged away. The palace suddenly became dull in Jiang Zhiyu's eyes, and her mood was not as high as before.

The emperor was very satisfied after eating the melon. He forgot about going to see Concubine Xian and went straight back to the imperial study.

Xu Youran: “…”

Good! It is confirmed that His Majesty can hear the voice of Zhiyu.

Her brow was filled with worry.

Did His Majesty actually not regard the young fish as a monster? Or did he intend to move the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Xu family together in the future?

But despite Zhiyu's rebellious thoughts, the emperor did not kill anyone, and there even seemed to be a look of joy in his eyes?

The more Xu Youran thought about it, the more confused she became.

…

Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, Xu Youran was still worried.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Zhiyu ate the lotus cake that she had taken out from somewhere, using the imperial edict as a cushion, tilting her head with a puzzled look on her face.

[Isn't eating melon fun? But the Fourth Prince's melon isn't particularly exciting. It's just about catching an adulterer. The other ministers' melons are more delicious than the last!]

Xu Youran admitted that her curiosity was piqued.

Being caught having an affair in the Imperial Garden, isn't that exciting? How exciting must the excitement in the eyes of the young fish be!

With this interruption, Xu Youran was no longer as worried as before. Just as she was about to smile, her eyes caught sight of the shiny object on the car seat, and there was a sharp explosion.

"Chiyu! What are you doing?!"

Jiang Zhiyu was already used to their surprise, and she remained very calm, even wiping it twice in front of her.

Before the second sharp explosion came, Jiang Zhiyu quickly covered her ears. After she finished shouting, she said calmly, "Don't worry, mother. No one will know unless you and I tell others."

"Is this something other people don't know?"

After Xu Youran finished shouting, she was stunned.

Hiss, it seems to be true. If I don’t tell anyone, how would the emperor know?

Seeing her stunned, Jiang Zhiyu knew she had come to her senses, so he handed her a piece of lotus cake in a flattering manner: "Eat this, Mom. This one is very sweet."

Xu Youran: “…”

After a day of fear, she was hungry, so she took the pastry handed to her by Jiang Zhiyu and started eating it in small bites.

At the gate of the prime minister's residence, Jiang Zhaorong and Jiang Sulan were already waiting outside, anxiously waiting.

After all, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, and Zhiyu is restless. What if something goes wrong...

The more Jiang Zhaorong thought about it, the more frightened he became. He wished he could send another carriage into the palace directly when the familiar carriage finally came into view.

“I’m back, I’m back!”

Jiang Sulan called out twice with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

Did they catch the adulterer? What happened? Was the maid beautiful? Was the Fourth Prince's penis big?

Jiang Sulan was very excited. When the carriage stopped, she couldn't wait to greet it.

Jiang Zhaorong looked very pleased.

That’s right, sisters should support each other!

He also went to meet him.

Xu Youran opened her eyes and saw her daughter's smiling face. She also felt happy. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Zhaorong's face coming towards her, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Jiang Zhaorong: “…”

Jiang Zhiyu: [Serves you right! Who told you to listen to that old woman and let Madam Du into the mansion? You can't let go of anything and your heart is still wavering, what a scumbag!]

Jiang Zhaorong: “…”

Isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines? Why am I a scumbag? Besides, Mrs. Du did nothing wrong. She even gave birth to a daughter for me. If I don't let her into the house, won't I be cursed by the whole world?

Moreover, even if Madam Du came into the family, she would only give her the status of a concubine, which would not shake Youran's position as the wife...

The more Jiang Zhaorong thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. His daughter didn't stand on his side, and his wife even gave him a cold shoulder. How could he be such a cowardly head of the family!

He also stopped smiling and stubbornly stretched out his hand to help Xu Youran get off the carriage.

Pedestrians came and went, and Xu Youran naturally wanted to give him face, so she put her hand on him, and Jiang Zhaorong immediately smiled happily.

Jiang Zhiyu also walked downstairs with something in his hand, and Jiang Zhaorong took a look.

It looks so familiar, so strange, let me take another look.

Jiang Zhaorong: “!!!”

Isn't this an imperial decree?!

Jiang Zhaorong's eyes suddenly widened larger than copper bells, and he also made a sharp explosion.

"You can't take the imperial edict like this!"
