"Your Highness, let's increase the monthly salary by another 10%." The second old lady suggested.
After hearing this, the prince thought to himself that it was impossible to increase the number of children in the second wife only, so he had to increase the number of children in all the wives.
"What do you think, Princess?" The prince first asked the princess for her opinion.
"If His Majesty thinks it's okay, please add it." The princess still had the same attitude. The prince has the final say.
"That's what you want, add 10%. If you can't survive in the future, I will kill you." The prince took out his trump card.
As soon as the first family was mentioned, the second branch knew to restrain itself.
The princess also had a plan in mind. Today, she found out that the second house had benefited from the servants. In the future, this avenue would be blocked for them, and the expenses of the palace would naturally be reduced. Adding an extra 10% might even save money.
Yu Yuanzheng watched with great interest.
I didn't expect that a family like the royal palace would have so many shameful and dark places.
I have learned a lot.
The second old lady and the second wife saw that they got what they wanted, so they said goodbye and left.
The princess continued to check the things she found in Nanny Zheng's room.
When Concubine Luo saw something that she had just given to Nanny Zheng not long ago, her face turned red.
"Sister Princess, this is a reward from my younger sister to Madam Zheng. She helped me with something once, so I gave it to her specially as a reward." Concubine Luo found an excuse to get the matter over with.
In fact, she went to ask Nanny Zheng for information. She wanted to know what happened to the princess and the eldest son.
The princess now knew who Nanny Zheng was and had become numb.
Concubine Luo also shamelessly took the hairpin away and left the main courtyard.
He also took the silly Yu Chaoyang away.
Yu Chaoyang didn't say a word during the whole process.
She has been feeling increasingly uneasy these days.
This incident today has never happened before.
But now so many things that didn’t happen before are happening now.
It doesn't seem to have any impact on her at the moment, but she just has a hunch that if these things didn't happen before, it would definitely not be good for her.
She found that her son spent very little time at home every day, and she felt anxious.
All the irrelevant people have left.
The prince then let out a long sigh.
"All servants, come down." the prince ordered.
Then several maids came out one after another.
The butler and An Yi also withdrew.
Only four masters are left.
"Ziqi's wife, take a look at what these packets of medicine are for?" the prince ordered.
Yu Yuanzheng stepped forward and checked them one by one.
“Father, Mother, this packet contains psychedelic drugs.
This pack is a muscle softening powder, and it doesn't take effect immediately, but takes some time to take effect.
This packet is contraceptive pills."
Yu Yuanzheng sorted out the effects of the three medicines.
"Damn it." The princess burst into tears when she heard this.
If there is anything else I don't know, my son was harmed by this medicine, and they didn't dispose of it. This is the second time they are thinking about it.
"Mother." Shangguan Ziqi pushed the wheelchair forward and patted her back gently, "My son is awake now, don't blame yourself."
"I didn't expect that there are so many snakes. There is a poisonous snake hiding next to my mother." How could the princess not blame herself?
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her serve you in the first place." The prince blamed himself even more.
This was all caused by him.
"Fortunately, Chaoyang changed his marriage and let Zheng'er enter your bedroom, otherwise..." The princess felt so heartbroken when she thought of the consequences.
But Yu Yuanzheng had told her that her son only had half a year to live starting from the day of their wedding.
If I hadn't met this daughter-in-law, it would have been just as Chaoyang said.
The princess threw herself on her son and cried even harder.
"Father, since Nanny Zheng died, we have not yet found the real murderer." Shangguan Ziqi was also very annoyed and patted the princess on the back.
In front of so many people, people committed suicide by taking poison.
"I suspect she might also be a spy." The prince thought too much.
"How do you know?"
"It's just speculation, there is no evidence yet. But she was not afraid of life and death, and taking poison to commit suicide on the spot also requires a certain amount of courage, which shows that she has been trained."
Yu Yuanzheng also couldn't figure it out. What purpose would it serve to control the prince's offspring?
Is it just to let the second son take over the throne? But the second son is also the prince's son.
Unless he isn't.
Unless he isn't!
When this idea came into Yu Yuanzheng's mind, he felt it was a bit absurd.
But there is no better explanation than this one.
"Father, is my second brother really your child?" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't keep it to himself and asked this question.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course he is my son." The prince's old face turned red.
But at the same time, these words also pointed him in the right direction.
He just said it toughly and tried hard to recall the situation at that time.
If it wasn't his son, then whose son was it?
"I will continue to investigate this matter." The prince left these words and walked away with big strides.
He didn't even try to comfort the crying princess.
Are you sorry for that?
When men make mistakes, do they always handle it so coolly?
"Mother, how did a concubine enter the prince's palace?" Yu Yuanzheng then inquired about the concubine's affairs.
“Ah, this is also a shameful thing.
That was nineteen years ago, when my mother brought her one-year-old son, Qi, to the prince's residence for a banquet.
That day, the old Marquis of Yang celebrated his tenth birthday. It was a lively occasion and the banquet lasted until 3 p.m.
Your father had a good relationship with the eldest son of the Marquis of Yang, so he was persuaded to drink a few more glasses.
I don't know if the wine was too strong or what.
He actually got drunk, although he could tolerate a lot of alcohol, and then went to the guest room to rest.
As a result, the second old lady discovered that he had slept with one of the granddaughters of Marquis Yang.
Although she was born out of wedlock, she was still the granddaughter of Marquis Yang.
The son and wife of Marquis Yiyang refused to let go and insisted that your father be held responsible, so he had to take her back as a concubine.
As a result, Concubine Luo became pregnant that time, with Zishu."
The princess was brought to the guest room at that time. She was furious when she saw the messy room and the second old lady who was standing beside her and trying to comfort Luo Xinyi.
She really wanted to slap the second old lady at that time.
She didn't even know which family she belonged to, but she actually stood on the side of the Luo family, spoke for the girl's family, and demanded that the prince must be responsible for the girl.
The prince originally intended to give her only the position of a concubine, after all, she was just a commoner's daughter, but the second old lady kept asking the prince to give her the position of a concubine.
A concubine must be included in the family tree, and although the children she gives birth to are also illegitimate children, their status is much higher.
In the end, the prince was pressured by the son of Marquis Yang, and the second old lady persuaded him to agree to it.
When he returned to the palace, he was severely scolded by the old prince.
From then on, the prince never dared to drink or get drunk again.
"Mother, don't you think father was being plotted against?" Yu Yuanzheng was speechless.
"So what if you know? There's no evidence, and the girl was indeed raped.
This matter must have a satisfactory solution, and the only way is for your father to take her into the palace.
At that time, Concubine Luo wanted to commit suicide, and your father had no choice but to agree. "
After listening to this, Yu Yuanzheng felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It was just that the prince was confused.
Oh, it's so true, in ancient times, if a woman wanted to marry someone, she could realize her dream by just making a plan.
This man is too unsafe to go out.
In fact, it is just a woman's reputation.
"You better be careful when you go out next time. Don't let a woman take a fancy to you one day and plot against you like this. You won't be able to wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River."
Yu Yuanzhen turned around and said to Shangguan Ziqi in confusion.
Only after she said this did she feel a little inappropriate.
She hadn't yet developed the kind of feelings towards him that would last her through thick and thin.
