Bei Yueli looked at her hateful eyes, and her heart felt like it was hit hard by a hammer. The pain made her breath choke, and her mind went blank.

Why did this happen? How could this be possible? This is not what she wanted. She clearly let them go out of kindness, why would she kill them? No, don't do this.

His face became paler and paler, his throat tasted fishy and sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes turned black and he fainted.

Chenyu looked at the tears in her eyes and shouted, "Someone, hurry up and call the imperial physician."

As if remembering something, he quickly changed his words: "Wait, go and call Master Jiang over directly. There is no need to call the imperial physician for the time being. Go quickly and don't delay."

The princess is probably suffering from a heart disease now. It is useless to find an imperial physician. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Since she likes Doctor Jiang, it would be most helpful to let Doctor Jiang come.

Jiang Sheng frowned slightly after taking his pulse: "I feel depressed. What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Chenyu sighed, briefly recounted the incident, and said helplessly: "Your Highness had a good heart. He wanted to send the two girls back at that time, but Ning Shuang was in the Imperial Guards' residence."

"If I had left too, His Highness would have been left without anyone to protect him, so I didn't go to escort him. I never thought the amulet would kill to silence him."

"During the Lantern Festival, that girl tried to stab His Highness and said something that irritated His Highness. He vomited blood and fell into a coma."

Jiang Sheng nodded after listening to it: "Okay, I understand. I will talk to Her Highness when she wakes up."

He had been so naive and foolish in his previous life, but his family was destroyed overnight and he had nothing. He suddenly understood what was most important and that growing up required going through hardships and pain.

With Bei Yueli's personality, if she becomes the empress, I'm afraid she will be manipulated by her ministers. There are some things she needs to see clearly as early as possible. I hope she can wake up sooner.

He was sleeping with a frown on his face and was sleeping very restlessly.

In her dream, a shadow kept approaching her, with blood coming out of all seven orifices and a hideous look on its face, and it kept shouting for her to pay with her life.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly woke up. He sat up straight and looked over. He met a pair of clear eyes. They were both stunned when they looked at each other.

"Your Highness is awake, is there anything wrong?"

Bei Yueli stared at him blankly, somewhat unconvinced: "Mr. Jiang, is that you, or am I dreaming?"

"Yes, Miss Chenyu, go and call me down to show His Highness. Just spit out the blood that's pent up in your heart and you'll be fine. Remember to avoid getting angry, which hurts your body."

“…Where did she go?”

Jiang Sheng knew who she was asking about and said softly, "She's in the next room. Your Highness wants to see her, but I think it's best for Your Highness not to see her for the time being, so as to avoid further stimulation."

"I know Your Highness is kind-hearted and feels guilty about this matter, but it's not your fault. Even if you send them back, the two girls will not survive."

"The Imperial Censor is an old official. Her beloved youngest son has killed someone. She cannot let anyone spread this news. Anyone who does will be silenced."

Bei Yueli knew it, but she still felt sad. If she hadn't intervened without permission, innocent people would not have been killed.

His voice was hoarse: "But, it was my intervention that accelerated their deaths, didn't it?"

Seeing her getting stuck in a rut, Jiang Sheng said helplessly, "Your Highness, the person who first started this whole thing was the Censor's son. He was the one who murdered the girl first and imprisoned her in the backyard. Isn't the Censor, who doted on his son, also a sinner?"

"Everything originated from the Censorate. What does it have to do with Your Highness? If the Censor's son gets married, none of the girls in the harem will survive."

"Compared to now, it's just the difference between dying earlier or later. Your Highness, don't you think so? Instead of blaming yourself, you should think about how to prevent more girls from being killed in the future."

Bei Yueli lowered her head and thought, yes, the past, whether right or wrong, cannot be changed, but what about the future? Those girls in the back house are still alive, and more girls will be killed in the future.

The culprit is the censor, her rebellious son...

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became much clearer and I didn’t feel so heavy and uncomfortable anymore.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Sheng, saying gratefully, "Thank you for comforting me, Master Jiang. I just didn't think clearly at the moment. I know what to do next."

Bei Yueli got off the bed and said with a firm look in her eyes, "I'm going to talk to the Queen Mother about this. If the Dali Temple intervenes, it will be much easier to handle."

Jiang Sheng then stood up and said, "Okay, I won't bother you any further. I hope everything goes well for Your Highness."

The two walked towards the door.

The empress leaned back on the couch and looked up to see her little daughter coming. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly with a smile: "Yue Li is here. What's the matter with you, the empress?"

"Yes, I have something to tell the Queen Mother."

"Okay, tell me."

After an incense stick of time, the empress sat up straight, her expression cold. "Imperial Censor, haha, you are so brave! Just a little son can make her so brave."

"Come here, call the Dali Temple Minister."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bei Yueli heard this and said softly: "Queen Mother, if the Dali Temple really finds out, how will they deal with the censor? Her eldest son is still in the harem."

"Will Father Jue..."

The Empress's expression was cold: "He is just a man. Since he has entered my harem, he must stand on my side. His mother is wrong this time. If he is confused, there is no need to keep him."

"Yue Li, you must understand that you are the princess and must put the country first. If it is for the stability of the country, no one can be sacrificed, not even the emperor."

"In my harem, the emperor is absolutely not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. If your father Jue is so confused, there is no need to keep him around, understand?"

Bei Yueli thought about it and nodded, then stood quietly by and waited.

Soon the Dali Temple Minister arrived and left after receiving the empress's order. In less than three days, the matter was investigated. The censor was kneeling outside the palace, and the youngest son had already been thrown into prison.

The final result was the beheading of the censor's young son, and the censor's crime of shielding a good girl was demoted two levels and transferred to another place...

Inside a carriage at the palace gate

Zhou Fang looked at the person opposite with complicated eyes and whispered, "I deserved death for assassinating His Highness. Why did His Highness let me go? Aren't you afraid that it will happen again?"

Bei Yueli chuckled softly: "I am the princess, you won't have another chance, you can wait for him to behead him and then leave. There are several hundred taels of silver in the bag, live a good life in the future."

"After what happened, the censor won't have the guts to kill you again, unless he really disregards the family. Don't worry, these corrupt officials and evildoers only care about profit."

"Leave the capital and find a beautiful place to live. Don't come back in the future."

Zhou Fang nodded: "Yes, I know, thank you, Your Highness."
