Royal Palace, Yong'an Palace,

A beautiful and kind-hearted concubine is half leaning on the imperial concubine's couch to read a book. Her posture is elegant, quiet and peaceful, like a beautiful painting of a lady. The concubine is not young anymore, and her facial features are not extremely beautiful, which is better than that calm and uncontested temperament.

If you ignore the old woman sitting not far away and sighing, complaining and asking all kinds of complaints and requests, and the elegant and luxurious young woman next to the old woman, this picture is pleasing to the eye.

The old woman talked for a long time, and finally couldn't help it: "Empress, you say something, the Li family can't stand this kind of trouble." Is it time to read a book? She didn't believe that Zhen'er could still read the book at this time, but unfortunately she never knew what this daughter was really thinking.

Yes, these three women are the master of Yong'an Palace, Empress Defei, her mother, Mrs. Li, and her only daughter, Princess Fuyun.

Both the Li family and the Defei have always been quite low-key. The Li family is also a big family that started to make its fortune from the previous dynasty. It has not been prominent in the past two or three generations, but it is not very inferior. Instead, a Concubine De was born and married to Princess Fuyun, which allowed the Li family to maintain some glory. Although it is not as important as the emperor in the British Duke's Mansion, it is considered stable and smooth.

However, I don’t know if I offended some Bodhisattvas. The Li family, which has always been stable and smooth, has been very uneasy recently. First, Li Haowei, the concubine’s son who was raised in front of Mrs. Li since childhood, had a nightmare for almost a month, which made him dare not sleep with his eyes closed. After a while, he was so thin that he lost his body. It seemed that he was more than ten years old. Although Li Haowei was a concubine’s son, he was also the most promising concubine in the Li family. Because he was raised in front of his mother, he was also filial and caring to his mother, Mrs. Li, and was very fond of Mrs. Li. After suddenly being troubled, Mrs. Li could not worry.

Immediately afterwards, the second-generation grandson in charge of the family business seemed to be in trouble. The situation happened repeatedly, which caused the Li family to lose a lot of money, but the reason was still not found. It seemed that they could only explain it by bad luck.

Although she asked the monk to do the trick, she still didn't believe Li Haowei's words about Yin Zhao's Heavenly Spirit warning them. Those who were born and lived in big families had never seen any dirty things. The higher the family's power, the more dirty things there were. If there were so many Heavenly Spirits, the sky would be filled.

She would rather believe that someone was secretly dealing with the Li family, or by dealing with the Li family, to achieve the goal of dealing with Concubine De. Reason? Didn’t Madam Lu say that a man in black poisoned her nephew’s family and warned her to leave Lin Rong?

Concubine De put down the book in her hand and said helplessly: "What do you want me to say? Haowei is just thinking too much and guilty. Otherwise, why do you say that you have thought about it every day and travel and dream about it at night? As for Saburo, when did the business world be less planning? I am afraid that he was influenced by Haowei and was suspicious and thought about everything in bad luck without looking for the cause. Wouldn't it be more wrong and everything went wrong?"

Mrs. Li said unhappily: "Then what do you mean? We are thinking too much?"

"That's not true," Concubine De frowned, "It's still strange that Lu Taoer suddenly gave up. I'm afraid someone guessed the purpose of sending Lu Taoer to the Lin family. You, you're so taken for granted, how could Lin Rong be plotted to fall and miscarriage under Lu Taoer's nose? Can such a Gong Madam not be suspicious? Do you want to tell someone that a Gong Madam who has been in the palace for more than ten years and has been in charge of the sixth rank is not as good as a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, or is this Gong Madam not caring about Lin Rong at all, and just makes a decoration around Lin Rong, destroying his reputation?"

Princess Fuyun: "..." She knew that the mother was blamed for their own actions. The mother always did this. She would not shout loudly like others when she was angry, but would be terriblely quiet, just like before. No matter what they said next to her, she would only read her books.

Mrs. Li: "...I'm not thinking about putting some pressure on the Lin family first so that they can do more." She made the idea, and she really didn't discuss it with the Empress. Everyone outside is saying that Madam Lu is unreliable, and she is worried about her nephew and grandson. You said earlier, "Leave early, it's not cheap to hire a Madam Gong, it's not a decoration."

"Let's do it now," Defei sighed, "You ask someone to stare at Lu Tao'er, but don't force her too much to avoid being anxious. As for the rest, I have to think about it carefully. When I saw the girl of the Yin family at the palace banquet, we will decide what to do." Now more people are eyeing Yin Zhiruo. To achieve the goal, the Li family has to pay more effort, and even more costs. She wants to see if it is worth it first.

Princess Fuyun was surprised: "Mother's meaning is that Lu Taoer is not telling the truth. No man in black threatened her, but what transaction did she do with others to betray us?"

"It's not necessarily true to betrayal," Concubine De shook her head, "It should be because she caught her and let her get out of trouble. I don't know if it's the Yin family, the Lin family, or other people who are targeting Yin Zhiruo?" In theory, the Yin family and the Lin family do not have such sensitive and smart people, and they can't catch Lu Taoer's handle. After all, how long has Lu Taoer been out of the palace? He is also in the palace. So, he is also targeting Yin Zhiruo, and he doesn't want her and the Li family to get into a trap through Mrs. Lin. Concubine Qi? Or the prince?

"If I had known this, we would have asked Mrs. Lin to take action earlier." Princess Fuyun said depressedly. They had set their sights on Yin Zhiruo before her father summoned Yin Zhiruo and his brothers to Beijing to attend the palace banquet. If they had made a decision, there would be no need to worry about others robbing him now. They all blamed the Lin family's so-called long-tongued women who had spread the news that she sent her to Lin Rong to the Lu Madam, but they were also circulating the favor of the Yin family to the Lin family. How could they take action at that time? Alas, it was also bad that Yin Zhiruo had not made a filial period and many things were difficult to operate.

"Forget it, I didn't know that much," Concubine De waved her hand, "Now Yin Zhiruo has not yet made a filial period, no one can do anything. Moreover, the emperor has begun to value their siblings recently. I heard that he was extremely satisfied with the two brothers of the Yin family on the day of hunting. Let's see what the emperor wants to do first."

Princess Fuyun was stunned and nodded quickly. Yes, it doesn’t matter what the father doesn’t care about. Once the father pays attention, his attitude is unknown. Who dares to act rashly? The father is even more unpredictable than his mother.

At this time, Qing Xi, the great palace maid guarding outside the hall, came in. Qing Xi was the most trusted palace maid around Concubine De. Even Princess Fuyun respectfully called Aunt Xi.
