"Eunuch He, is he wrong? Why would His Highness let me take charge of the affairs of Yuqing Palace temporarily? Isn't there the Crown Princess? Even if Concubine Rou is unable to take charge now, it is not my turn to interfere."

"Gege Liu, you're joking. This is indeed His Highness's decision. Not only that, the Crown Princess has no objection either. After all, she feels that she shouldn't interfere in the affairs of Yuqing Palace, so she rejected Your Highness's proposal."

Liu Gege understood that the reason why the Crown Prince entrusted her with such an important task was all because of the Crown Princess. If it weren't for the Crown Princess's self-righteous threats to the Crown Prince, such a good thing would not have happened to her.

Of course, she was very self-aware. After all, she was just a princess, neither favored nor childless. It was already very good to be remembered by the prince.

Now that the Crown Prince has asked her to temporarily take charge of the miscellaneous affairs of Yuqing Palace, she promised not to let him down. As for the Crown Princess, she should come to see her soon. After all, she has taken her job.

But this is not a big deal. As long as she takes care of the miscellaneous affairs of Yuqing Palace, the prince will remember her kindness. She knows her own limitations and will not compete for favor with Mu Sili. All she wants is to live a good life.

As long as the prince successfully ascends the throne, based on her status as a princess and her achievements today, it would definitely be enough for her to be made a concubine, let alone a consort.

"I understand. Since this is His Highness's order, I will conscientiously complete the task assigned by His Highness and will never let Yuqing Palace fall into the calculations of others."

"It's good that Princess Liu knows this. Cherish this opportunity. You don't know that Concubine Rou is also very satisfied with you. As long as you maintain the status quo, becoming a concubine in the future is not a dream."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Gege became excited. She thought that it would be good enough to be promoted to a concubine in the future, but from He Yuzhu's words, she could hear that Mu Sili had spoken for her, and maybe she could really become a concubine in the future.

This was something she had never dared to think about before. She must seize this opportunity and become the number one person after the Crown Princess and Mu Sili.

"Thank you for your reminder, eunuch. I will remember your kindness today and will definitely repay you if I have the chance in the future."

"You are too polite, Princess. I did not speak for you. It was because His Highness remembered your previous diligent performance of your duties that he entrusted this matter to you. Just remember His Highness' kindness."

"I have to thank you, my father-in-law, no matter what. Come here."

He Yuzhu was very satisfied when he left. This Liu Gege was sensible and polite. In that case, it would be fine to hand over Yuqing Palace to her.

Anyway, she had to make the Crown Princess reveal her true colors. If she could make the Crown Princess reveal her true colors in advance, it would not be impossible to make her a concubine at that time. However, she would never be as good as Mu Sili.

In the main hall, Guaerjia went to Yunfang Hall to find Liu Gege as soon as he heard that the prince had left with He Yuzhu.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess. I didn't expect her to come to see me. I should have gone to the main hall to visit you."

"That's fine. I'm not one to stick to rules. Today I'm here to congratulate my younger sister. The affairs of Yuqing Palace are not something that ordinary people can get involved in. I'm afraid my younger sister will rise to a higher position."

"I don't dare to call you the Crown Princess's sister. It is Your Highness's grace that I can manage Yuqing Palace. I will manage Yuqing Palace diligently and will not make any mistakes."

Guaerjia's face froze. What did she mean? Was this a clear rejection of her and a sign of her unwillingness to cooperate? Fine, fine, she even wanted to get her a concubine position. What a waste of her efforts.

"I am indeed meddling in your affairs. In that case, I will not bother you any more. If you have any questions, you can come to the main hall and ask me."

"I will remember this and send the Crown Princess off respectfully."

The Crown Princess left angrily, while Liu Gege breathed a sigh of relief. She was once again certain that the Crown Princess wanted to recruit her to join forces to deal with Mu Sili, but she was not a fool and would never let her do as she wished.

Not to mention that the Crown Prince dotes on the Crown Princess, the fact that she can now manage Yuqing Palace is because she has to go to Ningshou Palace to take care of her pregnancy. She is not stupid, so how could she go against her?

Yes, the prince probably thought of this and handed the Yuqing Palace over to her to manage. For her own future, she must stay away from the Crown Princess, otherwise she will be implicated sooner or later.

In Ningshou Palace, Mu Sili almost fainted with laughter. Guaerjia was too funny. She could have firmly grasped the power of the palace in her hands, but she thought she was the crown prince and refused to tolerate it. Now, everything was lost.

She also wanted to instigate Liu Gege to deal with her together. She really didn't know that they didn't dare to have any ill will towards her.

"The concubine is still smiling. What if the baby gets disturbed? The prince and princess are here to see you. If they see you like this, they will think you don't care about the baby in your belly."

"Don't I think the Crown Princess is a little arrogant? Let them in. I miss them after not seeing them for a day."

"yes."

Hongxi and Galudai looked at each other helplessly. Their mother was really unreliable sometimes. No wonder their father always considered her.

Half a year later.

"Your Majesty, Li is about to give birth, and you haven't taken Guaerjia down yet. Do you really want her to take action on the day Li gives birth? She's carrying your grandson.

If anything goes wrong on the day of delivery and you regret it, I have to tell you this: from now on, I will make Li the Crown Princess. You cannot refuse, otherwise I will be wronged."

"You're still feeling wronged. If you hadn't refused to cooperate, how could this matter have dragged on until now? I'm afraid it would have been resolved long ago. It's a pity that I was so focused on you. All my efforts have been in vain."

The father and son kept complaining about each other in the Qianqing Palace. Liang Jiugong was no longer surprised. After all, it happened every two or three days, and he had long been numb to it.

"I will not tell you this any more. We have already investigated what the Guarjia clan did secretly. Not only that, Shi Wenbing and his clansmen were also instigated by her to stand on her side. You cannot let them off easily."

"Of course I won't let them off easily. Could it be that you think I'm incompetent? Good on you, second brother! No wonder the eldest brother called you treacherous. I can see it's absolutely true. Otherwise, how dare you frame me?"

"Yes, yes, I am plotting against you. Are you on my side or not? I have to go to Ningshou Palace to accompany Li. She is about to give birth, and I don't want to miss it."

"Forget it. Children are all debts. Guarjia has been preparing for this for so long. Don't worry, I will definitely find solid evidence against her and then I will grind her to dust."

Although it was Kangxi who gave Guaerjia the opportunity to reach this point, she was already doomed from the moment she tried to get her hands on his throne.

The reason why she was kept until now was simply because he didn't want the child in Mu Sili's belly to bear the blood debt.
