"Yes, yes, it was me who used the evil spirit to attack the prince, so what?
He is just an eight-year-old child. How can he be as good as my eldest prince?
The eldest prince is a man of both civil and military talents. How can the crown prince compare to him? The crown prince is merely the legitimate son..."
The imperial concubine was exposed and knew that she was doomed, but even so, she had to express her dissatisfaction.
"Shut up!"
The emperor roared in anger. He never imagined that the person who had been sleeping with him for so many years was actually a vicious and cruel woman who relied on evil magic to maintain her appearance.
He doted on the imperial concubine mainly because he thought she was beautiful and straightforward, so even if she made mistakes in her daily life, he would indulge her, but that was all the imperial concubine deliberately acting for him to see.
"Come here, drag the imperial concubine out and execute her!"
The imperial concubine suddenly came to her senses and knelt on the ground to beg.
"No, Your Majesty, you cannot execute me. I am the eldest prince's biological mother. If I am executed like this, how will the eldest prince live in the future?"
In her eyes, the eldest prince will be able to become emperor in the future. How can an emperor have a mother who was executed?
"Having a mother like you is the eldest prince's misfortune in this life."
The Emperor shook his head. The eldest prince was indeed a man of both civil and military talents, but he was indecisive and unfit to be the heir to the throne. If there were no crown prince, he might have handed the throne to the eldest prince. But if he handed the throne to him, the Nanzhao Empire would be in danger.
However, although the eldest prince is not suitable to be the emperor, he can assist the crown prince. In this way, the two brothers will surely make the Nanzhao kingdom grow and develop in the future.
However, the imperial concubine murdered the crown prince. How will the crown prince and the eldest prince get along in the future?
"I will tell the world that you died of illness."
The imperial concubine couldn't believe that all these years of friendship ended in death.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you usually dote on me the most. Even when I make mistakes, you don't have the heart to blame me. Can you forgive me this time too?
I promise that I will behave myself from now on and will never do anything wrong again."
When the eldest prince heard that the imperial concubine was in trouble and entered the palace, and saw that the imperial concubine was going to be executed, he rushed to the emperor and knelt down.
"Father, I know that Mother has committed a grave and unforgivable sin. I only ask that you spare Mother's life."
He was the emperor's first son, and the emperor was naturally moved by his plea.
"Forget it, lock the imperial concubine up in the cold palace!"
Seeing the imperial concubine being sent to the cold palace, the queen's eyes were cold.
Her prince was almost killed. So many lives were lost, so much evidence was presented before his eyes, but the emperor still spared the life of that bitch.
Emperor, are you affectionate or heartless?
"Empress, the Crown Prince was frightened this time. I will definitely compensate him well."
The emperor looked at the queen flatteringly.
"No need, the prince has his own noble people to help him."
The queen turned around and left immediately. What difference does it make if the emperor tries to please her?
He has so many sons and so many people in his heart, but she only has the prince. Whoever hurts the prince will be killed by her.
"Queen, wait a minute. I also want to see Fubao..."
The concubines watched the emperor and empress leave, and didn't know what to do for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, they dispersed and returned to their palaces.
In Qiankun Palace, Fubao has woken up.
When the emperor came in, he saw the little girl blinking her eyes and staring at a night pearl.
"Fubao likes night-shining pearls?"
The emperor had an idea and thought that the night pearls were easy to get. He would immediately ask someone to get some from the national treasury.
"No, Fubao doesn't like it!"
Wang Yanran was a little surprised. It was rare that Fubao had a treasure that he didn't like.
But Fubao likes pearls. They are both pearls, so what’s the difference between them and night-shining pearls?
She could feel that Fubao was sad when he looked at Ye Mingzhu.
In fact, Fubao herself didn’t quite understand why she didn’t like the night pearl, but she couldn’t help but take another look at it.
"Fubao likes gold. As long as the emperor rewards him with gold, Fubao will be very happy."
The prince smiled and said, this simple hobby is really very convenient.
"Okay, okay, then I'll reward you with ten thousand taels of gold!"
Fubao was delighted, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at the emperor.
"Wow, the Emperor is so handsome and awesome!"
How could she not like a man who was worth tens of thousands of taels of gold at a time?
Wang Yanran was helpless, but since this was her daughter's only hobby, she was willing to go along with her.
After all, Fubao helped bring rain to the northwest and helped the prince find the murderer, so these rewards are what she deserves.
"Can the Emperor have this gold sent to the Imperial Master's Mansion? If it's sent to the Imperial Master's Mansion, everyone will know that Fubao is rich. I wonder if her scumbag father will vomit blood when he knows she's rich?"
The emperor had just dealt with the imperial concubine's matter and was feeling a little unhappy. But when he heard that Fubao was going to anger Gu Jinyu to death, he actually felt a little better.
"Eunuch Wan, you will personally deliver the gold to the Imperial Master's Mansion later."
Eunuch Wan was very helpful. Not only did he deliver the gold to the Imperial Master's Mansion, he also walked around the gate of the Shangshu Mansion.
The Shangshu Mansion, which has always been luxurious, is now empty. All the luxurious items have been sold and converted into silver to compensate Wang Yanran.
At this moment, Shen Yunyun was selling slaves, intending to support fewer people and reduce expenses.
Gu Jinyu was in a terrible state. He lay on the bed, looking at his broken leg, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside, as if there was some happy event.
"Whose family has a happy event today?"
The servant hesitated, but finally said that the emperor rewarded Fubao with 10,000 taels of gold!
"Why, that little bastard gets so many rewards?"
Gu Jinyu didn't understand why the emperor liked Fubao so much. He had been a minister for so many years and had never received so many rewards, but Fubao, a little baby who was only a month old, had received them.
"I heard that Fu Bao not only prayed for rain successfully, but also found the evil spirit for the prince..."
The servants now feel a little regretful. Why did they misjudge Gu Fengxi at the beginning and thought that she was the real lucky star?
He had worked in the Shangshu Mansion for so many years, and he had only seen Gu Fengxi bullying people. Where had he ever seen Gu Fengxi bring any blessings to anyone?
Now the Shangshu Mansion has become an empty shell, and I don’t know whether I can get next month’s salary.
"Nonsense! How can that little bastard pray for rain? How can he find evil spirits?"
Gu Jinyu was furious. He had been thinking about it over and over again these days, and he felt more and more that Fubao was just a little bastard and it was impossible for him to have such great abilities. There must be someone helping Wang Yanran behind the scenes.
But who was the person who helped Wang Yanran? Which wild man was it?
The servant didn't dare to say anything more, but just muttered in his heart, how could the lucky star recognized by even the emperor be fake?
Besides, their eldest daughter couldn’t pray for rain successfully, but the lucky star did. Doesn’t this mean something?
It’s a pity that their Shangshu is unwilling to admit that he was wrong, so he finds various reasons to prove that he is right.
