Xiao Ruyu was yawning. She had used up a lot of spiritual energy today. She was too young to fall into a deep sleep while yawning.

The sweet fragrance from Queen Duan made Xiao Ruyu feel at ease.

Seeing that Emperor Shangwen was leaving, Yang Xufeng felt it was inconvenient for him to stay, so he stood up and was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Empress Duan.

"Doctor Yang, please stay."

Queen Duan had a clear voice, and her tone was less majestic than usual and more approachable. After all, the two of them grew up together and had a friendship since childhood.

Yang Xufeng bowed and asked, "I wonder if the Queen has anything else to say?"

"If you hadn't come to my rescue today, I wouldn't have gotten through this safely. But Concubine Li is plotting against me, and I'm not made of paper. I can't let Concubine Li be so happy."

Yang Xufeng's father and the Duke of Zhenguo were old friends, and the two families had a special relationship. If Duan Yun had not entered the palace, the two families might have most likely gotten engaged.

"What do you want to do, Queen? Why don't you tell me?"

Queen Duan handed Xiao Ruyu to the wet nurse, who sat upright on the beauty couch and spoke in a cold voice.

"Regarding Concubine Li's matter, the Lu family will definitely not let Concubine Li stay in the cold palace. They will definitely repay the favor and help Concubine Li escape from danger. I have a letter in my hand. Please ask Doctor Yang to pass it to father."

It is true that the Lu family has made great contributions to the emperor, but if the Duan family had not supported Emperor Shang Wen all the way, they would not be as prosperous as they are today.

The Duan family has never been inferior to the Lu family, and they will never stir up trouble like Prime Minister Lu.

Normally, she just doesn't want any trouble in the harem, not because she is afraid of trouble. Does Concubine Li think that she will not fight back by doing this?

Yang Xufeng did not refuse Queen Duan's request. He took the letter and spoke slowly.

"Okay, I will deliver this letter to you, Your Majesty. However, there are too many concubines in the harem, and it is difficult to guard against them. Why don't you choose a few secret guards to protect the princess and the little prince, just in case?"

Queen Duan thought it made sense, and handed the matter over to Yang Xufeng to convey it. If her two children wanted to gain a foothold in the harem, they would inevitably become thorns in the eyes of many people.

Only after Imperial Physician Yang left did Empress Duan rest in peace.

That night, Emperor Shangwen found a random reason to dismiss the commander of the Imperial Guards, Pang Wu, and the position of commander of the Imperial Guards remained vacant temporarily.

There was quite a stir in the palace, and many people became terrified when they learned about Concubine Li's affairs.

The concubines who usually like to make trouble are now extremely well-behaved, fearing that the emperor will be angry.

The next morning, Emperor Shangwen went to the court with an unhappy look on his face. After he fell asleep last night, the little princess' words kept appearing in his mind.

If those words were a prophecy, Concubine Li would be the culprit. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Lu had too deep a foundation in the court, and he couldn't even move.

"Long live the emperor."

All the ministers saluted with extreme respect.

Emperor Shangwen sat on the supreme throne, listening to memorials from civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have confined Concubine Li to her house?"

The speaker was Prime Minister Lu. Last night he learned that his daughter had been banished to the cold palace. He was anxious, but he also knew that the matter was not small.

The only way is to make a big deal out of a small matter, unless the Queen does not pursue the matter. However, there are too many news blocks in the harem, and it is difficult for him to even see Concubine Li, let alone pass on the message.

Emperor Shangwen slammed the table and said coldly.

"Prime Minister Lu's good daughter is so bold that she dared to replace the prince and even bribed the palace maids to harm the queen. I guess she doesn't take me seriously."

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew that Concubine Li had a domineering personality, but her beautiful appearance made her very popular with the Emperor. Now that she had even made the Emperor angry, it showed how serious the matter was.

Duke Duan added, "Prime Minister Lu is saying that Concubine Li is innocent? According to the laws of our dynasty, Concubine Li will not only be imprisoned in the cold palace, but also be beheaded..."

Thinking of the message from the palace last night, Lord Duan wanted to take his men to attack Prime Minister Lu's residence.

Damn Prime Minister Lu, he raised such a foolish daughter, who actually dared to harm his sister. Did he think he was dead?

The Duan family is a glorious family, so why would they be bullied to this extent? Fortunately, the queen is safe, otherwise, the Lu family’s good days would be over.

Civil and military officials were also talking about this. Normally, Prime Minister Lu relied on his achievements and the favor of Concubine Li to almost rule the court.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Prime Minister Lu quickly took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"I have failed to teach my daughter well, Your Majesty, please forgive me. Fortunately, Your Majesty has blessed me with the True Dragon, and the Queen and her child are safe. This is a blessing for our Heavenly Dynasty."

Emperor Shangwen was not in a hurry to deal with Prime Minister Lu at this time, but it was inevitable that he would be punished severely.

"Since the Prime Minister knows his mistake, he doesn't need to attend court recently. Go back and reflect on yourself for half a month and have a good rest."

Prime Minister Lu's expression changed slightly. He was just being polite. The emperor's words were intended to cut off his path.

"Yes, I accept your order."

The morning court was over and Prime Minister Lu left in shame. It seemed that Emperor Shangwen would not be able to calm down his anger for a while.

Duke Duan went outside the palace gate and took the two boys with him, without stopping for a moment, and walked towards the queen's palace.

In Fengyi Palace, Xiao Ruyu yawned lazily. She didn't have to recite medical skills or refine pills. Her life was so dull that she actually felt too bored.

After everything that happened yesterday, she had calmly accepted the fact that she had turned into a baby. It was just that Xiao Ruyu felt a little embarrassed when the wet nurse fed her.

She has already laid down and accepted the fact that she is just a little baby and she just needs to suckle and grow taller.

It’s just that my little brother is too quiet. After being replaced last night, he spent more time sleeping than awake.

She sighed secretly, thinking that her little brother was really boring.

"My lady, the Duke has come to visit you with his son."

Nanny Wei's voice sounded, and Empress Duan nodded slightly.

"Brother, please come into the hall and have a chat."

Lord Duan stepped into the hall. There were two little boys beside him, one was lively and active, while the other was silent and quiet.

Duan Yiling's eyes rolled around, wanting to see his newly born younger sister and cousin.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."

Lord Duan bowed respectfully, but his eyes were slightly red as he looked at Duan Yun.

Although a lot of news in the palace was blocked, he learned from Yang Xufeng that Yun'er almost lost her life due to poisoning after giving birth to the child.

It was like a near-death experience.

When his parents learned about this, they burst into tears, so he made a special trip to the palace just to confirm his sister's safety.

"Brother, are my parents okay? Don't worry, my child and I are safe. It's just that Concubine Li was too cruel. Jin'er was replaced and poisoned. Although she was rescued, she is very weak and must be carefully taken care of in the future."

Lord Duan sighed, "Your mother and child's safety is more important than anything else. As for your health, Xu Feng will take care of it for you. You'll be fine."

The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they talked for a while.

Xiao Ruyu felt that there was a pleasant smell in the hall.

"Aunt, I wonder if Ling'er can come and see my sister?"

Queen Duan naturally agreed, "Go, Ling'er."

Duan Yiling pulled the boy beside him and said with a smile, "Eleven, accompany me to see my sister."
