Zhong Muyu was wondering what was going on when she saw Chengfeng behind her give her a reassuring gesture.
Do they know what happened?
Lu Ziyuan looked coldly at the head maid, seemingly very angry: "What do you mean by speaking without thinking? It's immoral to slander the Princess Consort, and you spread rumors that the Princess Consort wants to drive you away. How dare you!"
"Your Highness, Xing'er knows he was wrong..."
“What good is admitting your mistakes? What’s the point of having the government? Chengfeng, just take their whole family out and sell them. Keeping them in the palace will only cause trouble.”
Upon hearing Lu Ziyuan's words, the head housekeeper was completely stunned.
Originally, they were pleading for their son, but now the whole family is in trouble.
At this moment, they had no choice but to start crying, admitting their mistakes, and kowtowing in order to protect themselves.
Seeing this situation, how could anyone else dare to complain? They were all afraid of being implicated, so they all kept their distance.
After everyone was pulled away, Lu Ziyuan looked at the remaining people and said, "I've said it before, the Princess Consort is now in charge of this palace. Anyone who dares to cause trouble again should think twice about the consequences!"
pretty!
Although she didn't show it excessively on the surface, Zhong Muyu had already praised Lu Ziyuan ten times in her heart.
The others left dejectedly, while Zhong Muyu jumped up excitedly: "Well done! I originally wanted to kick that stewardess out, but I didn't have any leverage over her, and I didn't want her to continue causing trouble in the Prince's Mansion, so I made up an excuse to make her move out. I didn't expect you to send her away so easily! That's great!"
Lu Ziyuan laughed and said, "How could I not understand your thoughts? They came with my mother. In the past, with my mother's support, they did a lot of business and bribery. Well, although my mother is no longer here, since I am not often in the palace, and they are the people left behind by my mother, I let them be."
"So now you're willing to kick them out?"
Lu Ziyuan said sincerely, "Because they bullied my wife, this is intolerable."
Zhong Muyu smiled and playfully scolded, "You're good at saying nice things."
Seeing this, Chengfeng and the others wisely withdrew.
With no one around, Lu Ziyuan asked, "Then, wife, tonight, could we...?"
As he spoke, Lu Ziyuan's hand had already wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his arms.
The scorching heat sprayed on his face, but Zhong Muyu became more awake at that moment.
"cannot."
"Why?"
"Well, it's too early. Besides, my life isn't even guaranteed yet. Let's not think about those things for now."
Zhong Muyu kept waving her hands, and although the heat on her face hadn't dissipated, she just felt it wouldn't work.
This body is only sixteen years old. Although it is common for people to get married at fifteen or sixteen in this era, she still feels that it is too young.
But Lu Ziyuan found this idea quite novel. They were already married and not young anymore.
Zhong Muyu pushed his back: "Anyway, you need to catch the criminal quickly. I've been terrified to go out these past few days, and I won't be able to sleep peacefully anymore."
Lu Ziyuan was pushed out the door by Zhong Muyu. Looking at Zhong Muyu's shy face, he found it more and more interesting.
Well, there's no rush.
He was still somewhat disappointed after being rejected by his wife, and just then, he saw Chengfeng and Zaochun chatting and laughing to the side.
"Riding the wind!"
Lu Ziyuan looked displeased.
"Your Highness! You...you've come out?"
"That's right, what are you doing staying inside instead of coming out? Hurry up and go to the study, there's still a lot to do today."
Chengfeng looked completely bewildered. Did he have a lot going on today?
Regardless of the circumstances, Lu Ziyuan still forcibly dragged him away.
On the other side, Su Zhirou had been looking forward to this result all day, but it left her extremely disappointed.
What could she say? The prince was so biased; he probably wouldn't even blink if the princess wanted to tear down the mansion.
She summoned Granny Zhou again: "Granny, you see, the Prince is so indulgent towards the Princess, your methods are completely ineffective!"
"Madam, please don't panic! Don't panic! It's just one failure, we won't lose anything. Since we can't touch the Princess Consort, let's start with the Prince! Once we've got the Prince under control, what's there to fear about the Princess Consort?"
Su Zhirou sneered: "Look at the prince in this state, what can I do?"
"Oh, madam, women are the best weapon against men, and a woman who is gentle and pitiful enough is even more attractive to men. Why don't you..."
Granny Zhou whispered a few words in her ear.
Su Zhirou looked doubtful: "Will this work?"
"Give it a try. If we can lure the prince to Tingzhi Courtyard, we'll be halfway there."
Su Zhirou nodded. She couldn't care less about that now; she would use whatever method she could find.
...
Xinxiang Courtyard was very large. Zhong Muyu got bored, so she cultivated a piece of land and planted some vegetables and a few suitable crops. No matter where you go, food is always essential.
Early Spring looked regretful: "These flowers were all carefully selected by the Prince for you, and you just dug them up and planted vegetables instead."
"So if you like them, just find a place to plant them again. I didn't say I was going to throw them away."
"But I don't know where to plant it."
"Then let's find some flower pots and plant them in them."
Upon hearing this, Zaochun immediately exclaimed with delight, "Great idea! I'll go find some flowerpots right away and ask the others if they want any too, so we can all plant them together and not waste them."
In early spring, he happily ran out and actually found some flowerpots, and those few flowers were distributed to the people in the mansion who loved growing flowers.
After tidying up the small farmland, Zhong Muyu sat under a tree to drink tea and rest. Then she saw Zaochun rushing back.
"Slow down, it's just to find a flowerpot, why are you in such a hurry?"
"No! Your Highness, something's wrong!"
Zhong Muyu immediately perked up her ears: "What is it?"
"Consort Su is ill!"
Zhong Muyu was speechless: "What kind of situation is this? Even normal people get sick, right?"
"No, I just heard someone say that the concubine's illness is unusual!"
"Something unusual? Could it be an infectious disease?"
Zhong Muyu suddenly tensed up, already thinking about how to isolate and control the situation.
Zaochun quickly denied it: "It's not an infectious disease. It's said to be a sudden heart attack. The person is still unconscious, and the royal physician has gone to the palace!"
"Oh, a heart condition."
Zhong Muyu immediately relaxed, clearly showing no interest in this.
Su Zhirou used to be so lively and energetic; I've never heard of her having any heart problems. I guess she's up to some trick again, so she's playing the victim first.
Early Spring speculated, "It's said that her illness came on fiercely and is very serious, Your Highness. Do you think she might just die..."
In early spring, she made a gesture that looked like she was about to die.
"What are you thinking? I don't think she'll die so easily. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Evil lives on for a thousand years'? She climbed into this palace with a purpose, and she won't die until she achieves it."
"But things are unpredictable, and anything can happen. By the way, if she is really very ill, according to the rules, as the princess, you should go and see her."
