"Xiangliu, what is it?" Granny Gu asked.
"Your Highness, this servant... this servant..." Xiangliu hesitated before continuing.
"What is it? Speak quickly, don't beat around the bush in front of the princess." Granny Gu glared at Xiang Liu.
Xiangliu was so frightened that she immediately knelt down. "Your Highness, this servant saw a little girl chasing after the prince consort and calling him 'Father' on the street today."
"Oh~" Princess Anxing put down her bowl, looked up at Xiangliu, and asked, "What's going on?"
"When I went to the market to buy needles and thread today, I happened to see a little girl of about six or seven years old crying and chasing after the prince consort's carriage, calling for her father. Later, a woman, who looked like the little girl's mother, stopped her and said that she had mistaken him for someone else."
"What was the prince consort's reaction?" Princess Anxing gestured for Granny Gu to help her up.
“The prince consort didn’t stop the carriage; he may have really mistaken me for someone else,” Xiangliu said truthfully.
"Granny Gu." An Xing called out, and Granny Gu understood and took out some loose silver and handed it to Xiang Liu.
"Thank you, Princess." Xiangliu accepted the silver and withdrew.
"Go, check it out."
"Yes, Princess."
Granny Gu withdrew, and Princess Anxing tapped the table with two fingers.
Yan Gang, if that slut from Tangzhou really comes knocking on my door, don't blame me for being ruthless. You can only blame her for being so ignorant and daring to covet my man!

Zichen Palace.
"Mother, we can't wait any longer," Yun Shao said with a gloomy face.
If it weren't for his uncle arranging assassins to help him, he wouldn't have made it back this time.
Unfortunately, this assassin only obeyed his uncle's orders, not his own. His only duty was to save his life in critical moments, nothing more.
Consort Xian pondered for a moment, then said, "Shao'er, since we didn't get the money from the Zhao family's treasury, what about your uncle..."
"Mother, Father's time is running out. If we don't act now, it will be too late if something happens to him. Haven't we given Uncle enough money over the years?" Yun Shao said through gritted teeth.
Having suffered such a great loss at Su Ruojin's hands this time, how could he swallow this insult?
Once he takes that position, he will definitely have the entire Zhao family executed!
"Now Father Emperor listens to me completely. As long as Father Emperor writes the decree of succession, everything will be under our control, Mother Consort!" Yun Shao said anxiously.
Consort Xian's eyes gradually changed from hesitation to determination. "I will write a letter to your uncle to prepare so that he can cooperate with you when the time comes."
Yun Shao breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of excitement. As long as his uncle cooperated, he was sure he would be able to sit in that position. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
My uncle is the governor of Qingzhou, which is only two days away from Yuncheng. As long as my mother writes a letter to my uncle to come to Yuncheng to provide support, he will surely succeed!
Consort Xian was unaware that another major reason her son was in such a hurry was that Yun Shao had discovered that what Su Ruojin had said was true.
Su Ruojin mentioned his impotence at the time, and Yun Shao denied it, but upon reflection, he realized that he had been acting abnormally powerfully lately.
Upon returning to his residence, disregarding his injuries, he summoned his concubine to verify his condition, only to discover with horror that he was truly beyond saving!
The physician diagnosed him and said he was only injured and would be fine once the injury healed.
Ke Yunshao always felt that the physician's eyes were somewhat evasive.
He secretly went out to see a doctor outside the mansion, but no matter which doctor he saw, they all shook their heads and said that he would never be able to have sex again in his life.
After killing these doctors, Yun Shao panicked.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had a vague premonition that what Su Ruojin said was true!
No, no, he couldn't let anyone discover this secret. He had to act immediately, otherwise how could a prince who was impotent ascend to that position?
Fortunately, the Third Prince's wife is pregnant, and as long as this is kept well hidden, no one will find out.
In fact, Yun Shao should have discovered the problem in another half month, but this injury caused the toxins accumulated in his body to take effect prematurely, resulting in this outcome.
He needs to speed things up.
