"My lord, you are so proud... I beat out everyone in Prince Liang's Mansion.

I must think that the Duke of the country doesn’t like the betrothal gift?”

Concubine Hua had a cold face and a condescending attitude.

Shen Lu frowned. It was Shen Yunhe's idea to beat out the people from Prince Liang's Mansion. No one expected that Concubine Hua would come to the door.

"Concubine Hua's trip..."

Shen Lu spoke tentatively.

The Holy Emperor is already very angry about Prince Liang's appointment. Concubine Hua's visit may not be as simple as raising an army to punish her.

"Guo Gong, why are you pretending to be confused? The one who was granted the marriage by the Holy One was clearly the marriage between the eldest daughter of Guo Gong's palace and Prince Liang!

You let a mere concubine take your place?

If I weren't afraid of royal scandal, do you think I would agree to the Duke's palace marrying a concubine instead of the eldest daughter?"

Concubine Hua slapped the table heavily, suppressing Shen Lu and the old lady with her momentum.

"What Concubine Hua said is that...this matter has been going on for many years, and it was also approved by the Holy One himself.

The Holy Emperor is furious about this betrothal gift. If Concubine Hua feels that the fault lies with the Duke's Palace, she can report it to the Holy Emperor and let the Holy One make the final decision."

Shen Lu also lost his temper. Did Prince Liang's Mansion really mean that the Duke's Mansion was in decline when he humiliated them so much?

He just lost his military power, but his status in the Duke's Mansion is still there!

Shen Lu has fought all the way from a humble family to his current status, and the aura of killing has not yet dissipated from his body.

Concubine Hua could only rely on her status to suppress him.

"With such a posture as the Duke of the State, is it possible that he still expects to have the support of the King of Chu?

I might as well tell you directly that the Holy Emperor has relented, and the position of Crown Prince can only belong to Prince Liang!"

Concubine Hua looks arrogant, and if Prince Liang wins the crown prince, she will be able to dominate the entire harem.

The sentence "Prince" successfully shocked Shen Lu and the old lady.

The old lady had been leaning on crutches and said nothing. Now she heard that Prince Liang had become the crown prince, and her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that she was really wrong in placing her bet on Shen Yunhe and King Chu?

The old lady is very unhappy with Concubine Hua. The Duke of Guo comes from a poor family. Which of the nobles really thinks highly of them?

Over the years, she has desperately tried to get rid of the label of being a poor family, but she has always been fundamentally different from those wealthy families!

"What is Concubine Hua's intention today? Are you here to show off? Or are you here to question her?"

Shen Lu was still sitting upright. If he had learned before that Prince Liang was about to be established as the crown prince, he would have definitely pursued Prince Liang.

Now, he learned that Prince Liang was very unhappy with Qingxi. If Prince Liang became the crown prince, he feared that Qingxi would not be able to win Prince Liang's heart.

Concubine Hua's face darkened. Shen Lu really refused to drink wine and was punished with wine!

Didn't she come to ask for guilt? Could it be that she came to seek peace?

"My dearest concubine, when the holy edict is issued, I will personally come to your door to plead guilty."

The old lady finally spoke.

Shen Yunhe watched from a distance for a long time. Concubine Hua's arrogance looked like she deserved a beating.

"Miss, news has come about the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."

Xiaoju received the news and hurried back to the house. After giving the news to the young lady, she had to go to Prince Chu's house to take care of the two young masters.

"Take a pill to replenish it."

Shen Yunhe took out a blood ginseng pill and gave it to Xiaoju. This girl has been following Yaoyao around recently and has lost weight visibly to the naked eye.

"Thank you, miss!" Xiaoju threw the blood ginseng pill into her mouth, her brows and eyes full of excitement.

Shen Yunhe opened the secret message, and Chu Junhe said that someone had blamed the miracle doctor for embezzling disaster relief funds.

When Chu Junhe told her, he said that the person behind the scenes had not yet been found.

Just now...
