No one in the manor has experienced a happy event in a long time, but that doesn't mean that Li Chenjiao's strange ability has disappeared.

For example, Li Chenjiao sensed something during the southern tour. She also sensed that a low-ranking concubine in the emperor's harem was pregnant, but she never saw her again. She only knew that it was a prince, and what happened to him was unknown. She also had other senses along the way.

The perception at this moment is a bit strange. It's not a sign of good fortune for anyone, but a warning that it's harmful to children.

That's why Li Chenjiao stood at the front, and the source of that omen was the Fujin (principal wife).

Li Chenjiao wasn't sure if this omen only worked for the children or if it was originally applied equally but she just couldn't perceive it. However, the image in her mind pointed to the Fujin, which was also a strange thing.

Li Chenjiao entered Yonghe Palace and quietly asked Chen to move the Second Princess away a bit, at least away from the Fujin. The Fourth Prince was being held in the arms of the wet nurse. The child had just learned to walk, but he didn't like to walk much after leaving the East Courtyard.

Consort De first greeted and looked at the Fourth Prince. After the First Prince drowned, Consort De finally showed a smile on her face. She personally held the Fourth Prince.

After carrying the Fourth Prince back to the wet nurse, a look of emotion appeared on her face: "The First Prince is gone. Please take good care of the Fourth Prince's wife, Lady Wu, in the mansion. After all, she has rendered meritorious service... There has been no movement in the Fourth Prince's harem for quite some time..."

Li Chenjiao stood to the side without blinking; by now, the eldest and second princesses had already been carried away. The Consort De was quite direct in her speech.

The Fujin stood up and said, "Yes, Mother. I understand. Although Sister Wu hasn't been feeling well these past few days, I can understand. I'm also worried about Master. That's where Sister Li's help comes in."

The princess consort was always the one who knew how to say nice things.

Li Chenjiao acted as if she hadn't heard the Fujin's sarcastic remarks, and only silently curtsied in agreement after the Fujin finished speaking.

Normally, Li Chenjiao might have replied, but right now she was really not in the mood. Even though she was only a few steps away from the Fujin, she could still feel dizzy. This warning made alarm bells ring in Li Chenjiao's mind, and she really couldn't say anything.

The Fujin punched into the cotton, glancing at Li Chenjiao with a hint of surprise. But Li Chenjiao had always been like this, and the Fujin had become somewhat accustomed to it.

Consort De took all this in, and the smile on her face gradually faded: "The matter of offspring is not something that anyone can accomplish alone. Fourth Prince's wife, you are the primary consort, and you should have a set of rules for your words and actions. Pushing everything onto Li Shi, what kind of behavior is that? I think you are becoming more and more outrageous as a consort."

Consort De's words were rather harsh. At least in recent years, the Fujin had rarely received such a reprimand. On the rare occasions, Consort De had spoken to her privately behind closed doors. Right now, the palace maids were all standing in the inner palace...

The princess consort, who was always concerned about her reputation, almost couldn't keep up the act for a moment.

She knew that Consort De was taking her anger out on her because of the First Prince's affair. She had already been taught a lesson when the First Prince got into trouble. But now, in front of so many people, Consort De was showing her no respect. In addition, she was already aggrieved about the First Prince's affair. The Fujin was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly couldn't hide the expression on her face.

Consort De, sitting at the head of the table, had a clear view of everything. She naturally believed that the eldest prince's accident was inextricably linked to the Fujin (Prince's wife). The words of reprimand were not spoken only to the Fujin; the person next to her was still composed. The Fujin's current agitation only strengthened Consort De's belief.

As a result, Consort De became even less willing to pay attention to the Fujin (the wife of the deceased), but Li Chenjiao was also unwilling to be the target. In addition, she was in poor spirits, and her face turned pale when she accompanied Consort De to dinner.

Qiu Hu quietly supported Li Chenjiao from behind, her eyes filled with worry.

With only half a day left before returning to the palace, Li Chenjiao was mentally counting the hours on her fingers when she saw Zhao Mama, who was by Consort De's side, hurriedly enter and whisper something in Consort De's ear.

Consort De's expression didn't change immediately, but she still kept her lips tightly pressed together.

Consort De waved her hand, signaling Zhao Mama to leave first: "It's quite lively up front right now, and I'm a little tired. Let someone take you back first. You can come to the palace together again when it's the Fourth Prince's birthday. If there's any news from the Second Prince, just send someone to the palace."

When the Second Prince was mentioned, Consort De's face finally softened a bit.

The Fujin's face finally looked a little better, but it was only noon. She was grumbling to herself, but since Consort De had given her a way out, she naturally took advantage of it: "Yes, daughter-in-law takes her leave."

Li Chenjiao was always the most low-key one after entering the palace. She silently agreed, and after leaving the palace gate, she soon noticed that the carriages of various families at the palace gate were making quite a commotion.

Li Chenjiao glanced at Xiao Luzi, who silently nodded.

Alright, Li Chenjiao stopped arguing and immediately led the Second Princess into the carriage. Together with the Second Princess, they watched as the wet nurse carried the Fourth Prince onto the carriage.

The little girl was still full of energy, but she also realized something was wrong and whispered to Li Chenjiao, "It's not dark yet."

Every time she went to the palace, it was already dark by the time she returned home. Over time, the young girl developed the idea that she should only return to the palace after dark.

Li Chenjiao wiped the little girl's sweat: "Mother doesn't know either. How about Mother makes you a flower wreath when we get back?"

The little girl didn't care about that: "Okay, I'll make a flower wreath for my mother."

The Fourth Prince, that rascal, was already fast asleep in his wet nurse's arms.

Once back at the manor, Li Chenjiao had Lüju accompany the young girl to pick flowers, while she listened to Xiao Luzi report the information she had gathered.

"Originally, I heard about the urgent report sent to the capital, which caused quite a stir in the Hesheli clan. In the end, I heard that His Majesty dismissed Prime Minister Suo from his post and he has now been placed under house arrest."

Xiao Luzi's words really stirred up a huge wave of discussion.

Li Chenjiao listened so intently that she forgot to blink.

"The weather is about to change." After a long while, Li Chenjiao finally managed to say these words with some difficulty.

Yes, if Prime Minister Suo gets into trouble, then naturally the Crown Prince of Yuqing Palace will be implicated.
