"Fubao, you are now the future Crown Princess, the future Queen. Did you agree to this?"
Wang Yanran cared more about this. She was really afraid that Fubao would suffer in the harem.
Although the Queen had promised her that the Prince would not have three harems and six courtyards in the future, the Prince was the Emperor, and when the Prince became the Emperor, many things would not change unless they were promised.
Since ancient times, kings have been very cruel. As Fubao's mother, she was really worried about what his future would be like.
"Yes, Fubao agreed to it himself. Fubao is willing to be with the prince forever."
Looking at her daughter's innocent little face, how could Wang Yanran not be worried?
Fubao is less than three years old now and has not yet developed feelings. How can we predict what the future will hold?
But this is the will of the late emperor, and we cannot resist it.
"Mother, don't worry. The Crown Prince will treat me very well. He also said that from now on, there will only be Fubao and the Queen Aunt in the harem. The Queen Aunt and I have a good relationship, and mother and the Queen Aunt are also very good. There shouldn't be any problems getting along."
Wang Yanran was stunned: "Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask you to say this?"
Fu Bao nodded: "When I left the palace, the Crown Prince asked me to tell Mother that he said his promise would not change."
Wang Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. With this promise, the prince would not change, at least in the short term.
Furthermore, Fubao is still young and it will take many years for him to reach the age of marriage, while the prince can marry in two years.
At that time, the court officials would definitely let him marry the queen. If the prince couldn't bear the pressure, or had his own ideas and married another woman, then Fubao could choose not to marry.
Thinking of this, Wang Yanran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom asked the kitchen to prepare delicious food. Let's go eat now."
The family had a pleasant lunch. Fubao stayed with his family for a while before returning to the palace to accompany the prince.
"Mom will go with you."
Wang Yanran had wanted to go to the palace to see the queen before, but the emperor had just passed away and the situation in the palace was complicated, so it was not convenient for her to enter the palace.
"good."
The mother and daughter entered the palace together and first went to the Queen's Qiankun Palace.
The queen was already in poor health, and she took the twenty-five sticks for the prince. Although she recuperated for a few days, her face was still as pale as paper.
When she saw Wang Yanran and her daughter, her eyes lit up.
It’s not that no one came to see her before, but they were just concubines and wives. Now they came to her to inquire about news, which she didn’t like.
"Your Majesty, please take good care of your health."
Wang Yanran didn't expect that the Queen was so seriously injured. Seeing her so weak, her eyes turned red.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. From now on, there won't be so many evil spirits in the harem. I'll take care of everything and won't keep those messy people. Fubao, I'll protect you."
The Queen knew that the Emperor's will might be a burden to Wang Yanran.
"Thank you, Queen."
Wang Yanran didn't expect that the Queen would say this so bluntly.
Although no one can be sure of what will happen in the future, at this moment, she is willing to believe the Queen.
"Fubao, go to the prince's place, and leave your mother to talk to me."
Seeing that Fubao was anxious to find the prince, the queen waved her hand and asked someone to take her there.
At this moment, the prince was in the cold palace. Concubine Hui was trembling and kneeling on the ground in a mess, begging for mercy. Her forehead was already bloody.
"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again. Please let me go, Your Highness."
After killing the emperor, she still wants to live?
The prince looked at the plain-looking woman coldly, with disgust in his eyes.
"Who told you how to make blood balls?"
During the investigation, it was found that Concubine Hui was only the daughter of a county magistrate. She had learned limited arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood and had never left her boudoir. How could such a person be so courageous?
"I……"
Fear flashed in Concubine Hui's eyes. The prince had actually found out, but she couldn't tell anyone. If she told anyone, she wouldn't be the only one to die.
"I don't know what your Highness the Crown Prince means."
Even now, she still wants to hide it.
The prince snorted coldly: "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out. But you have to make it clear now that you have been exposed. Even if you don't tell me, those people will not let you go.
They even dared to poison the emperor, so why would they care about a small person like you?"
Concubine Hui was desperate, she knew that what the prince said was right.
She has no way to survive!
"Your Highness, this is something I did alone. It has nothing to do with my family. Please don't take your anger out on them."
Her body went limp, and her eyes were filled with despair.
She wanted to become a favorite concubine and bring great wealth to her family.
But not only did she fail, she also brought her family into hell.
Thinking of her parents and brothers at home, she couldn't help but feel scared.
"If you can explain clearly, this prince can spare their lives."
Concubine Hui nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything."
"From the beginning, I was just a little concubine. For three years, I had never received the emperor's favor. Until one day, the second prince came to me and said that he could help me become a favorite concubine..."
No one expected that the matter was related to the second prince.
The second prince has never shown any interest in the throne, and he has portrayed himself as extremely detached.
During the days when the prince was reviewing memorials, he traveled around and enjoyed a leisurely and carefree life.
But those harmful blood balls were actually made by him.
"I have confessed everything. I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to grant me a white silk scarf to die with."
Until she was about to die, Concubine Hui stopped crying.
She knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a man of his words and would not take her family's lives again.
The prince left the cold palace and asked someone to wait for Concubine Hui to end her life.
Concubine Hui was hanged in the cold palace, and the news quickly spread to other palaces.
The concubines were originally happy that they didn't have to be buried with the emperor, but now they were a little panicked.
The prince won't kill them all to avenge the queen, right?
When the emperor favored them, they basically went to the queen to provoke her, and the queen's health was getting worse and worse at that time.
Fearing that she would be sentenced to death soon, the concubine went to the prince first.
"Your Highness, we are willing to spend the rest of our lives in a nunnery. Please grant us your wish."
Although the emperor was weak, he had a large number of concubines. Hundreds of them knelt down.
The prince has been busy these past two days. He just said that they didn't need to be buried with the deceased, but he hasn't figured out where to arrange them.
It's better for them to come here on their own now so that this matter can be handled as soon as possible.
"You guys go to the Taimiao."
The Taimiao was a place for praying for the royal family, and it was also where concubines from the harem who were not required to be buried with the emperor went.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Your Highness."
The prince was kind-hearted and did not blame them for what happened in the past.
The concubines were relieved and planned to spend the rest of their lives in the Taimiao after seeing the emperor off for the last time.
