Concubine Xian's first thought was to find a way to make Yu Jin divorce Jiang Si.

But this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before she rejected it.

Judging from how much the Seventh Prince loves Princess Yan's family, I'm afraid he would rather sever the mother-son relationship with her than divorce Jiang.

Divorce is impossible. In this case, there is only one way left - a cold light flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes.

What if Jiang died?

The seventh brother is only twenty years old. It is impossible for him to stay with Jiang family for his whole life.

How many men, especially young men full of vigor and vitality, can endure it forever? Even if the Seventh Brother had deep feelings for Jiang and allowed him to wait a year or two before proposing marriage, he would certainly not object.

This time, she couldn't just let the seventh brother's marriage go on its own. She had to pick one who was on the same page with her, so that she could persuade the seventh brother to get close to the fourth brother.

The more Concubine Xian thought about it, the more she felt that there was a bright and prosperous road ahead of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Princess Qi looked at Concubine Xian with cold eyes and felt secretly proud.

Having lived as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Concubine Xian for many years, she knew her mother-in-law too well and never hesitated to be cruel to her.

Is my mother-in-law thinking of getting rid of Princess Yan?

Sure enough, the next moment, Concubine Xian said bluntly: "I don't care about anything else, but if anyone interferes with the Fourth Prince, it will be absolutely unacceptable."

"Mother, what do you mean--" Princess Qi asked tentatively.

Concubine Xian curled her lips and said coldly, "I want Jiang to give up her position as the Princess of Yan."

Princess Qi showed a surprised expression: "Mother, you, you mean--"

Concubine Xian suddenly looked deeply at Princess Qi.

Princess Qi was frightened by this look and said hesitantly, "Mother..."

Concubine Xian smiled meaningfully: "Fourth Wife, you should be smart. If you are not smart, you will not be able to be the Princess of Qi."

Haha, you are still a little immature to play tricks in front of her!

Since they were determined to get rid of Jiang, how could she be the only one with dirty hands?

Princess Qi blushed: "Mother——"

Concubine Xian was getting a little impatient. She glanced at Princess Qi casually and said calmly, "I agree to this matter. But how to do it still depends on you."

Princess Qi was startled and her face turned pale: "Mother, I..."

Concubine Xian's face was completely gloomy: "Fourth son's wife, if you still pretend to be stupid at this time, I don't care what happens to the fourth son and the seventh son. Anyway, no matter which one the emperor values, they are all my sons..."

Princess Qi smiled awkwardly: "My daughter-in-law always listens to me."

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "That's right. Let's work it out."

Princess Qi stayed in Yuquan Palace for half a day before leaving.

Within a few days, news spread from Yuquan Palace that Concubine Xian was ill.

The Prince of Qi and his wife went to the palace to visit immediately.

When Jiang Si heard the news, even though he had no good feelings towards Concubine Xian, he still had to go to the palace.

The Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. She could usually find excuses to go to Yuquan Palace less often, but Concubine Xian was ill, and it would be unacceptable if she did not visit her once. Especially when Yu Jian was not in the capital, she could not let anyone use it to bring trouble to herself and her daughter.

Jiang Si changed into a set of plain clothes that were about 80% new, got on the carriage and entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Princess of Yan has arrived." A palace maid reported to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian, who was lying on the beauty couch, moved her eyelids and said weakly, "Please invite Princess Yan in."

Not long after, the satin curtain was lifted and Jiang Si walked in.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine, mixed with a hint of incense, forming a peculiar smell that seemed very unpleasant to Yu Jiangsi.

She frowned slightly and saluted the Concubine Xian on the Beauty Bed: "Greetings to Her Majesty."

"No need to be polite, get up."

Jiang Si stood up, lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

She had no intention of playing any tricks to show the affection between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Following the principle of saying less means less mistakes, she was too lazy to say more.

Jiang Si's behavior made Concubine Xian so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes.

I have never seen such a daughter-in-law with no sense of propriety. When the mother-in-law is sick, at least ask more questions to show your concern, even if you don't take care of her!

With daughters-in-law like this, she wouldn't hesitate to kill a few of them.

Concubine Xian gave Concubine Qi a look, signaling her to break the awkward situation.

She is "sick", and we can't let a patient find topics to talk about.

Princess Qi smiled softly at Jiang Si, "I originally wanted to invite my seventh sister-in-law to come to the palace to visit mother... I see that your seventh sister-in-law has lost a lot of weight. Sigh, I have also heard about your brother's experience. It is really a case of God's envy of talent... My seventh sister-in-law should be more open-minded and don't hurt yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Sister-in-law." Jiang Si responded indifferently and became alert in his heart.

Ever since I made my dislike for Princess Qi clear, she finally calmed down. Why is she so warm to me again now?

If someone is diligent and attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. This statement is absolutely true when applied to someone like the Princess of Qi.

Jiang Si's cold and polite answer made Princess Qi feel a little depressed.

How could the Princess of Yan be so ignorant that she made it impossible to have a conversation with her? How could such a simple person like her win the heart of the Prince of Yan? Was it because she looked good?

Princess Qi was upset, but she didn't show it on her face. She sighed and said, "Things haven't been going well lately. Mother has always been in good health. Who would have thought that she would be sick? It's really worrying..."

Concubine Xian said, "Why worry? It's normal to have a headache at my age."

Jiang Si took a serious look at Concubine Xian and found something strange about her.

She had no medical knowledge and could not diagnose, but the worms living in her body could vaguely sense a person's aura.

At this moment, the feeling she got from Concubine Xian was that her energy and blood were abundant. She didn't look like a sick person, or at least not as weak as Concubine Xian appeared to be.

Is Concubine Xian pretending to be sick?

With this thought in mind, Jiang Si became even more alert.

Concubine Xian pretended to be sick, and Princess Qi smiled at her again. All this showed that these two had ulterior motives.

Thinking about this, Jiang Si became more and more reluctant to speak.

Whatever their purpose was, getting her into the palace was probably the first step. She just had to ignore the conversation and see how they continued their tricks.

Jiang seemed to have figured this out, and instead remained calm, looking at the two of them coldly as if they were just some stupid little idiot.

Princess Qi was very troubled by the soft and hard tactics, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, I have a suggestion."

Jiang Si was amused, but he remained calm and asked calmly, "What does Fourth Sister-in-law have to suggest?"

"Why don't we go to Baiyun Temple together to burn incense and pray for mother's early health." As if she was afraid that Jiang Si would refuse, Princess Qi continued, "Sister-in-law can also pray for Seventh Brother. Maybe Seventh Brother can get things done smoothly and return to Beijing soon."

When Jiang Si's face heard Princess Qi say that she was going to Baiyun Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, it finally changed and became extremely ugly.

Go to Baiyun Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings...

Hearing this invitation from Princess Qi again really makes me feel "cordial".
