The Pingding Marquis Mansion had put many obstacles in her way, both overtly and covertly.

Not to mention the slaves left behind by the Fourth Prince's wife, just the concubine Jia who was sent in to take care of her legitimate son was not someone easy to deal with.

Beautiful, thoughtful, gentle and considerate.

After the confrontations over the past few years, she, as the principal wife, did not gain much benefit. If it were not for the strong family background of Concubine Ying and Concubine Liu and if they had not made any mistakes, she would have been the head of the concubines long ago.

Wei Jialian could even imagine that if the Fourth Prince really took over the world, then with the current rivalry between the Pingding Marquis' Mansion and their Taiwei Mansion in the harem, she might not be able to ascend to the throne smoothly.

Therefore, she would rush to get pregnant again and again, and even send away her loyal maid, just to prevent the favor from leaking out and to give herself more bargaining chips.

While I was thinking about these things, the court doctor came over.

Naturally, the Fourth Prince also came along with the court physician. No one knew why he came here. Wei Jialian spoke half in pretense and half sincerely.

"Why is my husband here? Didn't you say you wanted to have dinner with Wu'er?"

The Wu'er she was referring to was naturally the child that the Fourth Prince's wife left for Concubine Jia, the legitimate eldest son of the Fourth Prince's family. In theory, he was more noble than her own son.

Therefore, she was a little unhappy about eating the sour dates just now.

"It's almost finished. I said I'd come to see you and your son. As soon as I walked to the gate, I saw the court doctor coming. How are you? It's New Year's Day, are you okay?"

Wei Jialian snuggled into the Fourth Prince's arms, then spoke with tears in her eyes.

"As long as my husband is here, I will be fine."

The court physician was also in a dilemma upon seeing this. He didn't know whether he should come forward to take the pulse and examine the patient. The Fourth Prince naturally had something to say, so he let Wei Jialian rub against him in his arms.

"Let the court doctor take a look first. That way I'll feel more at ease."

"Um."

There was nothing serious wrong with Wei Jialian, she just worried too much and ate too many sour dates, so the court doctor said everything was normal, she just needed to control her diet and could eat sour food but not too much.

"But do you remember everything?"

"Your Highness, we have all taken note of this."

"Well, then go down, I'll stay here with the madam."

"yes."

After everyone left, the Fourth Prince and Wei Jialian were the only ones left in the bedroom. They were so close to each other, which was rare. Compared to Wei Jialian's enjoyment, the Fourth Prince obviously had other intentions.

He first said a few words to comfort her, and then got down to business.

"My father-in-law's birthday is coming up in a few days. Madam, have you decided what gift to give?"

"My husband is really thoughtful. Everything is ready. It is the Taihu stone that my father likes. I picked a unique and spiritual one. It is just right for celebrating my birthday."

Taihu stone is not cheap.

The Fourth Prince had nothing to say about his wife's generosity, but since he was spending money, he had to spend it wisely, so he continued speaking.

"Then we can bring our seventh brother over to celebrate. He has a lot of respect for our father-in-law and always says that we should make more friends with him."

Hearing this, Wei Jialian's eyes also showed some other strangeness.

I'm afraid the Seventh Prince is not interested in his father, but in the power in his hands.

She knew everything but didn't say it out loud. Anyway, the stronger her family's power was, the more secure her position in the Fourth Prince's Mansion would be. So Wei Jialian smiled and answered "OK" as usual.

Seeing that his wife was so easy to talk to, the Fourth Prince naturally showed more sincerity in his expression. He took her aside and started talking about their children.

"Wu'er's health is not very good and he needs to take medicine all the time. But our Zhang'er is smart and healthy. If he is well cultivated, he will achieve great things in the future."

The Fourth Prince has not yet been crowned king, so there is no question of whether he is the Crown Prince or not. But if he were to become the Emperor overnight, then the position of Crown Prince would be the top priority for the two families to fight over.

Therefore, when Wei Jialian heard this, she became energetic. The sickly look she had just had was completely gone, and her eyes were filled with charm towards the Fourth Prince.

"I obey my father at home and my husband after marriage. I will listen to whatever my husband says."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She was not in a hurry to express her opinion, but the determination in her eyes was obvious, and the Fourth Prince was not blind. He could naturally see it, and this was what he wanted.

Although the Dingping Marquis Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion had frequently made moves in his backyard, causing him great annoyance, at such a critical moment, naturally, no one could be let go.

He had just said the same thing to Concubine Jia, but he changed the wording.

The attitude shown by Concubine Jia was roughly the same as that of Wei Jialian: first gain the throne and then worry about the rest later.

After reaching this consensus, other ideas came into the Fourth Prince's mind.

The news that the emperor could not hold on for much longer was finally delivered to the Fourth Prince by the Imperial Concubine. After pondering it in his study, he took the excuse of paying a visit to the royal family and personally delivered the news to the Mansion of the Grand Marshal and the Mansion of the Marquis of Dingping.

The Dingping Marquis' Mansion naturally expressed its full support for the Fourth Prince, so they provided him with both men and money. The only problem was that they did not have any military power to show off, and this was exactly what the Fourth Prince wanted, according to Wei Mingxian of the Taiwei Mansion.

In a few years, Wei Mingxian had been promoted from deputy commander of the Jingji Division. Now he had the help of Wei Jiaheng, the father and son of the Fourth Prince Liu's concubine. It can be said that he held great power.

Under his command, the entire Sui'an City was under his control, so if the Fourth Prince wanted to seize power, this current father-in-law could be said to be the key! Therefore, in the study room of the Taiwei Mansion, the atmosphere was high and cool at the moment, making it difficult to move forward.

"Mother knows everything about Father's situation. Since she has sent the message, we should take action. We have been preparing for so long, isn't it just for now? Father-in-law, what do you think?"

Wei Mingxian did not make a clear statement, but looked towards his father. The Fourth Prince was left out and was naturally unhappy, but now was not the time for him to express his opinion casually, so he had to look towards General Wei.

A few years have passed, and he still looks as young as ever.

Time seemed to have stopped moving forward for him, and the sharpness in his eyes was no less than that of any younger person.

"Fourth Prince, please be patient. We are still short of an opportunity. If we act rashly, do you think the more than 200,000 Tiger Guards outside the city will agree?" (End of this chapter)
