A fierce argument broke out between Minister Qian and the Ninth Prince.
The matter originated from Qian Derong's affair. Regarding how to deal with Qian Derong, according to the rules of the palace, it would not be too much to execute him. However, Minister Qian naturally refused to budge.
He felt his son was innocent. Even though Yun Zong said he would give him a lenient sentence, he couldn't bear to send his son to prison to suffer. He even argued with Yun Zong to protect his son.
Yun Zong felt that Minister Qian was simply ungrateful.
Although Minister Qian made the outrageous statement that he would punish the person in the palace according to the law because he thought the person in the palace was the little empress, he was still the one who said it. The officials and the generals in the northwest all heard it clearly!
Now he's trying to protect his son, but what about his own position? If Qian Derong isn't punished, he won't be able to explain himself to anyone!

Kangjing is located in Jiangnan. For some reason, the weather these past few days has been strange. Even though the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the temperature has not dropped, and it is still as hot as summer during the day.
Tongsu was physically weak from a young age and couldn't stand the heat. She craved coolness, so at noon when the heat was rising, she would have ice brought out and placed in ice basins in the four corners of her bedroom, and then close the doors and windows to prevent the heat from escaping.
He also chilled some food and fruit wine, lay on the chaise lounge, and ate, drank and read books. If he didn't have to worry about the difficulties in the court, he would be living a pretty good life.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was ruined by that incident, and the originally lively atmosphere was completely disrupted. Not only did it end abruptly, but Yun Zong was also too annoyed to deal with her anymore.
Tong Su felt lighthearted and became engrossed in reading military books. Without realizing it, she ate too many iced fruits and caught a chill.
Normally it's fine, but this time, for some reason, their periods came early and coincided.
When she woke up in the morning, her stomach was in excruciating pain, as if someone was stabbing her inside with a knife. She lay on the bed, her face pale, unable to get up.
When Xi Chenzhou came to find her, Tong Su was slumped on the couch by the window, her face pale and devoid of any energy.
The weather is so hot and humid these days that neither heaters nor hot water bottles are suitable, and drinking hot brown sugar water doesn't help either. I can only grit my teeth and endure it, closing my eyes and trying to fall asleep.
When Xi Chenzhou saw that her lips had turned white from being bitten, his heart suddenly ached. He quickly stepped forward and sat down beside her on the couch, and said softly, "Your Majesty?"
Tong Su was in terrible pain. The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was not working. Right now, she was curled up in a ball, clutching her stomach in pain.
Half asleep, I heard him calling softly. For some reason, I suddenly felt a pang of grievance and opened my eyes, saying, "Why has the General come?"
Even though she was the one who bestowed the title of Marquis of Zhenbei, at this moment, the first thing that came to her mind was the title of General—
While everyone else called him "Lord Marquis," he was merely her general.
Seeing her weak and listless appearance, Xi Chenzhou felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart. He gently brushed aside her sweat-dampened hair and asked, "Where does it hurt?"
The girl's eyes reddened with distress, but how could she possibly speak of such a world? She turned her face away and mumbled, "I've taken my medicine."
Xi Chenzhou grabbed her hand, frowned as soon as he squeezed it, and said, "It's so cold? Go and get His Majesty a hand warmer."
"The hand warmer is too hot," Tong Su said listlessly. "It's so hot outside, we don't need it."
"If it's hot, how could Your Majesty catch a cold?"
Tong Su lowered her eyes guiltily and remained silent.
Xi Chenzhou simply took her wrist and checked her pulse himself. After a moment, his worried expression turned serious, and he gently scolded, "Your Majesty's body is already weak, and it's your period. How could you suddenly indulge in cold? Nonsense!"
