"Your Highness, the palace has a complex population, and many miscellaneous expenses are not small amounts. I have sorted out the account books and found that these are all in deficit, not to mention that several sisters have come in. My concubine Yue's food, clothing and expenses are much higher than those of other concubines in the palace. It seems that these sisters are of high status, and I, Yue, must not go over them, otherwise there will be no rules. If it gets out, it will be bad for Your Highness's reputation."
Mo Youchi was blocked by the princess's gentle whispers, and the matter was left unresolved. Yue Chenxi's life in this palace became increasingly difficult.
......
Later, the emperor's time was running out and all the doctors in the court were helpless. The emperor died a few days later.
When the crown prince ascended the throne as the emperor, Empress Zhen naturally became the empress dowager. As for Concubine Wen, Empress Dowager Zhen found some faults for her and sent her to the cold palace. Her family was punished for multiple crimes and exiled by her husband.
Just as the previous emperor had said, the Emperor was indecisive and kind-hearted, but he trusted Tu Yufan very much. Tu Yufan monopolized power in the court and was determined to carry out reforms. His political enemies secretly labeled him a "traitorous minister."
Tu Yufan was busy working in the study when a servant came hurriedly and said that there was an old woman outside who wanted to see him and she was the kind that couldn't be driven away. Tu Yufan waved his hand and asked the servant to bring her in. It turned out to be Fang Xizhuo.
In the previous life, the stepwife of the father-in-law was also the daughter's father-in-law's biological child. It can only be said that in the previous life, the father-in-law was very conscientious and responsible as a human being. He gave the identity of daughter to the daughter-in-law and the identity of wife to the daughter-in-law's father-in-law. He held the two of them in the palm of his hand and worked hard to build their status, which was also a blessing for them.
"Master Prime Minister, I beg you to save my daughter. She is the concubine of Prince Duan and is about to give birth. But the princess has been very harsh on her. My daughter asked me to give this letter to you. I hope you can help her."
Tu Yufan's face was full of question marks. Why did her daughter come to him for help with the backyard incident? He was not an aunt from the neighborhood committee.
Tu Yufan lowered his head and glanced at Fang Xizhuo. She was now hunched over, totally different from her usual appearance. She looked at him with evasive yet confident eyes.
He took the letter, on which was written every detail of her life with her father in the previous life, as if trying to awaken his father's love. She said that she had accidentally impersonated Guan Nuannuan's identity, causing her sister to disappear. She felt very guilty, but she hoped that her father would help her for the sake of their relationship in the previous life.
Tu Yufan's face darkened. He didn't expect that after recovering her memories from her past life, she actually wanted them to be father and daughter again, and even wanted to completely exonerate herself. It was obviously her who did it on purpose, and she even said that she was too timid to admit it because she was young.
This is completely treating yourself as a fool.
Tu Yufan burned the letter and ordered people to kick Fang Xizhuo out. Fang Xizhuo had no choice but to return to Prince Duan's Mansion.
"Daughter, you said that after the Prime Minister read your letter, there would be a turn for the better, but I saw that he seemed to be in an even worse mood. Did you have another dream?" Fang Xizhuo said doubtfully.
Yue Chenxi's heart sank. She thought carefully about what happened in her previous life. When the former subordinates of King Yi pretended to be bandits and looted Huangyun Village, they sold Guan Nuannuan because she was pretty. Before Guan Nuannuan left, she secretly gave her the wooden hairpin.
"Chen Xi, my father is a great general who followed the emperor to conquer the world. He will definitely come back to find me. This hairpin is a gift from my father to my mother. Take it and tell my father where I have been so that he can come and save me, okay?"
Yue Chenxi calmly put away the hairpin and said gently: "Tu, I will definitely let your father know."
