Chapter 13 It’s time to appoint a new queen

Xie Ruizhu changed her clothes and wanted to pick up her son.

But he was stopped by the eunuchs guarding outside the palace gate.

"Madam Concubine, the Emperor has said that you are under house arrest and are not allowed to leave the palace."

"Asshole! This concerns the life of the Second Prince, and you dare to threaten me." Xie Ruizhu raised her hand to slap him.

The young eunuch was startled and covered his face, not daring to stop her, so he could only let her go.

Xie Ruizhu hurried to Yu's study, wanting to ask Lu Yanshi to make the decision.

The last time she made Lu Heng kneel, it was the Emperor who took him away. This time, she also planned to return the favor and ask the Emperor to bring her son back.

Unexpectedly, she missed the target.

"How come the emperor is not here? How dare you lie to me?" Xie Ruizhu angrily questioned the eunuch who was guarding outside Yu's study.

At this time, the Emperor must be in the study discussing state affairs with the ministers of the Secretariat. How could he not be here?

Could it be that this little eunuch saw that she had fallen out of favor and deliberately made excuses for her?

"The emperor went to the Weiyang Palace." The young eunuch explained hurriedly.

Upon hearing that the emperor had gone to the Weiyang Palace, Xie Ruizhu stomped her feet in anger.

"Damn it, I'm a step too late. I hope the emperor won't be deceived by Xia Shuyi's lies again."

Thinking of this, her feet seemed to be on wheels and she rushed towards the Weiyang Palace.

…

Lu Yanshi hurried to the Weiyang Palace.

Upon learning that Lu Li was nearly killed by the fall, he was so frightened that he immediately stopped the meeting and rushed over.

The ministers who were discussing the matter had a new understanding of how favored Lu Li was.

This Ninth Princess is not a simple person.

"How is Li'er?" Lu Yanshi started to care about his daughter as soon as he arrived.

[Father, I am fine. It is my brother who is in trouble! ]

Lu Li screamed and pointed at Lu Heng who was lifted onto the bed, trying to make her father understand what she meant by using gestures.

Lu Yanshi pretended not to hear and waited for Xia Shuyi's answer.

"Your Majesty, Li'er is fine. Heng'er broke two ribs while saving Li'er." Xia Shuyi replied with red eyes.

"Is the third prince seriously ill?" Lu Yanshi looked at the imperial physician beside him.

"Your Majesty, the third prince received timely treatment. As long as he rests well and doesn't move around too much, he should be able to recover in half a year." The imperial physician gave a conservative time.

Hearing that his son would have to lie in bed for so long, Xia Shuyi felt very sad.

"Tell me, what's going on." Lu Yanshi looked at the wet nurse and Lu Wu who were kneeling on the ground.

"The Second Prince came to pick up the Third Prince for school and said he had never seen the Ninth Princess. The Queen asked me to hold the Ninth Princess in my arms for the Second Prince to see. After the Second Prince saw her, he wanted to hold the Ninth Princess himself. I was worried about the Princess and didn't let him. But the Second Prince insisted on holding her, and I couldn't persuade him, so I had to let him hold her."

"The princess suddenly peed her pants, the second prince got startled, and the princess fell down."

The wet nurse avoided the main point and did not dare to say that Lu Yan did it on purpose.

She dared not offend either side.

"No, the Second Prince threw the Ninth Princess out on purpose." Lu Ruo said firmly.

She saw clearly that the second prince threw the princess out on purpose, not accidentally letting go.

"How dare you, a lowly slave, talk nonsense and involve the Second Prince." Xie Ruizhu was furious when she heard this as soon as she arrived.

"Why are you here?" Seeing her, Lu Yanshi frowned.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Yan'er was injured, so I hurried here." Xie Ruizhu looked at him pitifully.

"What kind of injury is he suffering from? He's fine." Lu Yanshi sneered.

"He almost dropped Little Nine to death, and now he's caused a fracture in the sternum of the Third."

"Your Majesty, Yan'er has always been kind-hearted. It is impossible for him to do such a thing. Someone must have slandered him." Xie Ruizhu cried and defended her son.

【Ahhhh, he did it on purpose. Your son has nothing to do with kindness.】

[If it weren't for my third brother, I would have been reincarnated and met King Yan again. ]

[Wuwuwu, I just don't know if King Yan will give me a chance to start over after dying in vain again this time. 】

As Lu Li kept scolding, she began to worry about herself.

When Lu Yanshi and Xia Shuyi heard their daughter talking about her previous life, they knew that she had died in vain in her previous life, and they felt heartbroken.

"That's enough. I can still tell whether he did it on purpose or not. I think it's not enough to just make him kneel. Go, lock him up and make him kneel down to copy books. He can get up when he finishes copying. No one is allowed to see him without my order." Lu Yanshi gave the order with a cold face.

When Xie Ruizhu heard that she had to kneel for so long, she knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, Yan'er is so young, how can he kneel for so long? His legs will become disabled if he kneels like that. How can Daxia have a prince who is unable to walk? Your Majesty, please forgive Yan'er this time, he definitely didn't mean it."

She cried so hard that she no longer cared about whether she was beautiful or not.

She only knew that if this continued, her son would be ruined.

"Someone, send Concubine Xie back to Changchun Palace. She is under house arrest by me now. Anyone who dares to let her out again will be disobeying my order and will be beheaded." Lu Yanshi was troubled by her crying and immediately ordered someone to drag her away.

Back then, he deliberately promoted the beautiful but brainless Xie Ruizhu to the high position of imperial concubine, so that when she made mistakes in the future, he could use her mistakes to check and balance the Xie family.

Unexpectedly, the Xie family's boat capsized in the waves.

He gets a headache when he sees her now.

This Xie Ruizhu is really just a pretty face. Even in this situation, she still doesn't keep a low profile and challenges his patience time and time again.

"Your Majesty, please consider that I have served you for so many years, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please spare Yan'er." Xie Ruizhu was dragged away, crying heartbreakingly.

But no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't stay.

When Lu Yan saw his mother being taken away by wolves, his mind went blank.

How could this be? How could my father be so partial?

I didn't listen to his explanation, I only listened to what Xia Zhaoyi's family said.

He hated it so much that his father was no longer his most beloved father.

"My beloved concubine was frightened by what happened today. Please take good care of them both. I will go to review the memorials first." After Lu Yanshi dealt with the affairs of the harem, he left.

He wondered if it was time to appoint a new queen to take charge of the harem.

Xie Ruizhu, the leader of the Four Concubines, is no longer with us, leaving only Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian.

Shufei's family is a military general who holds military power and is stationed on the border, so forget it.

Defei was plain-looking and had an average family background. If she were to become the empress, it was estimated that neither the concubines in the harem nor the court officials would agree.

Concubine Xian is too gentle and has a good family background. If her family members whisper in her ears and she makes a mistake, that would be terrible.

From this perspective, Concubine Xian doesn't seem to be suitable to be the Queen.

After choosing and choosing, there is no suitable one.

Lu Yanshi felt upset for a while.

Forget it, let’s wait and see.

After returning to Yu's study, he issued another decree.
