The third prince came to the gate of the sky prison. Lord Qin took him in and turned to leave.
"Why, come to see if I'm dead?"
The virtuous concubine stared at the third prince with bloodshot eyes, as if she was looking at an enemy, wishing she could eat him alive.
"They say that a dying man's words are kind. It seems that my mother will never like me, no matter what time it is."
As far as he could remember, his mother had never given him a bit of warmth. No matter how he looked through all the images in his mind, he still only saw beatings and scolding.
"Yes, I don't like you. If you weren't useful, I would have strangled you to death long ago."
The Third Prince suppressed the bitterness in his heart and asked, "Why?"
His voice was very soft, but fortunately the prison was quiet enough, so it still reached the ears of Concubine Xian.
"Why?" Xian Fei stroked her messy hair, her tone excited, "Because you are a disgrace. If Deng Feng hadn't defiled me, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant with you."
She looked crazy and pointed at the Third Prince who stood straight.
"You disdain the position of Crown Prince only because you have the status of a prince and can live a life of luxury. But now, I have told the Emperor your life story. Do you think he will keep you?"
The third prince's hanging hands gradually clenched, and his eyes became red.
Hearing it from Yu Yiluo was one thing, but confirming it from his mother was another.
In the past, he often blamed his father for being partial to the crown prince. After he finally untied the knot in his heart and knew that his father still had eyes for him as a son, the virtuous concubine told him that he had nothing to do with his father at all.
It was like being rescued from drowning, only to be kicked back into the water again.
Noticing his expression, Concubine Xian showed no sympathy at all, but spoke even more excitedly.
"This is the consequence of not saving me. Do you think that if you save the emperor, he will be merciful? This is ridiculous. The emperor will not care about you, a remnant of the Yulou Kingdom."
"That's enough," the Third Prince raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the prison door. "You don't need to worry about me."
"Hahaha," Concubine Xian laughed so hard that her body trembled, "I still have something to say, how come that's enough?"
The third prince didn't want to listen anymore and turned to leave.
But then I heard Concubine Xian say proudly: "Yang Xin, don't you want to know how she got to you?"
The third prince stopped and did not move.
Seeing that he was listening, Concubine Xian said with a hint of pity, "I was the one who sent her to you. How could you even fancy such a fool..."
......
Lord Qin didn't know what the virtuous concubine said to the third prince, which made the third prince seem to have lost his soul.
He saluted but the other party didn't hear it.
"What's wrong with the Third Prince?" Minister Zhang muttered, then recalled what the Emperor had instructed him to do and looked away.
"By the way, Lord Qin, this is the poisoned wine that the Emperor gave to Concubine Xian."
The two of them carried it to the door of Concubine Xian's cell. Concubine Xian was grinning like crazy, muttering, "Don't even think about having an easy life. Even if I die, you won't have an easy life."
Minister Zhang sighed, "It seems there's no way to get her to drink it on her own."
Xian Fei suddenly stopped laughing, her eyes wide open as she rushed towards the two of them through the prison door, saying viciously, "Don't even think about having an easy life, don't even think about having an easy life."
After saying that, he slammed into the wall.
In Concubine Li's palace.
Yu Yiluo happily finished drinking her milk when she heard Nanny Zhang come in and say that Concubine Xian had died.
Concubine Li was not surprised at all.
Without saying a word, he skillfully changed Yu Yiluo's diaper.
"I heard that the Emperor allowed the Third Prince to see her one last time, but he didn't look very well when he came out."
Aunt Zhang took the newly changed diaper and said softly.
[She must have been pissed off by Concubine Xian. After all, the Third Prince was born from Deng Feng's rape. She had always looked down on Deng Feng, thinking him lowly, so she disliked the Third Prince as well. She didn't expect that she would have to annoy the Third Prince before her death.]
Concubine Li picked up Yu Yiluo, but continued to listen to her inner thoughts.
If it weren't for the Third Prince last night, I'd probably be dead. I don't know what I can do to make him feel better.
Your life is in danger?
Concubine Li was so frightened that she checked her daughter carefully and was relieved to find that there were no injuries.
She knew that the emperor took Luo'er to the Heavenly Prison last night, but she didn't know that she was in danger, and the emperor didn't tell her.
Yu Yiluo kept sighing in her heart that she was too small.
However, the virtuous concubine is offline, and Yang Xin has no helper, which is also a good thing.
Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of Huarui bowing to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu nodded and walked straight towards Concubine Li.
"I'm here to give the little one a gift," he said, motioning the people around him to bring the things up.
The thing is a bit like a modern baby carriage, with exquisite wood carvings hanging on it, which is very novel.
Concubine Li had never seen this thing before and was a little curious.
"This thing is for the little one," Concubine Shu said, demonstrating it to Concubine Li. "You can put the little one in it and push it around. You don't have to hold it in your arms all the time."
This thing is not uncommon in modern times, but it was different in ancient times. Yu Yiluo likes it very much.
[From now on, if anyone says Concubine Shu is messing around, I'll be the first to disagree. Anyone who sees this craftsmanship will be praised!]
Concubine Li agreed very much.
He thanked Concubine Shu with a sincere smile.
When Concubine Shu said she was giving Luo'er a gift, she thought it was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect Concubine Shu to take it so seriously.
"You're welcome," Concubine Shu gently pinched Yu Yiluo's little face, smiled mysteriously and raised her eyebrows at Concubine Li.
"When the little guy grows up, he will be more useful."
Seeing Concubine Li's confusion, she raised her hand and pressed the small wooden sculpture on the stroller.
With a whoosh, a hidden weapon flew out from inside.
Yu Yiluo, who had just thought that it was inferior to modern baby strollers, was dumbfounded.
This is beyond awesome, it's so powerful.
"Not bad, isn't it!" Concubine Shu smiled and straightened up. "The hidden weapon is coated with poison, it can kill people."
Yu Yiluo's eyes lit up.
[It's more than just good. It's a great way to get around in your free time and a life saver in times of danger. Absolutely amazing.]
"Alright, I've delivered the gift, now I'm leaving."
Concubine Li called Concubine Shu and handed her a plate of snacks. "Thank you, Concubine Shu, this is..."
Before she finished speaking, Concubine Shu took over with a smile, "I heard that Concubine Li's cooking skills are good, so I won't be polite."
He left immediately, leaving Concubine Li a little confused.
I heard that Concubine Shu is a loner. Where did you hear that?
[I really love Concubine Shu's character.]
Yu Yiluo swung her unbound feet, putting her worries about the third prince behind her.
She forgot that Concubine Li was still thinking about her.
She will be good to whoever is good to Luo'er.
"Huari, wash the vegetables. I'm going to cook."
Hua Rui prepared the ingredients. Concubine Li put Yu Yiluo on the bed, let her play by herself, and turned to go to the small kitchen to cook.
When the emperor came over, the aroma of food went straight to his nose.
Looking at the exquisite dishes, he smiled and sat down.
"Your Majesty, this is what I prepared for the Third Prince."
