Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Prince Qi's Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Jinqiu had just received some news and came in to report in a panic.

"My queen, there is another death in the mansion. A body appeared in the lake in the back garden."

Chu Xuanhan intended to let the whole house know about Xinghong's death a few days ago in order to intimidate the servants in the house.

The body in the lake today is one of the people who disappeared that day, making the matter even more confusing.

Mo Yaohua stroked her belly gently, "Then we won't go to the back garden these days, so as not to bring bad luck to the emperor's eldest grandson."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jinqiu was also wary. This palace was more terrifying than she had imagined, with people dying every now and then.

"Is there any news from the prince?" Since Mo Yaohua entered the mansion, Chu Xuanhan has never lived in her courtyard.

Jin Qiu lowered her head, not daring to face her disappointed face, "No, it's not long since the wedding, so it's really difficult for the prince to come."

Mo Yaohua was furious. "Is it only Yuchi Jiuyue who is getting married? Didn't I just enter the mansion? Why should I..."

Jin Qiu quickly comforted her, "Your Highness, please bear with it. The prince is doing this for your own good, so that the princess won't be angry and won't tolerate you."

Mo Yaohua gritted his teeth in anger, "Bear it, bear it, bear it, everyone tells me to bear it, every day, it's all because of that damn Mo Zhaohua who is useless."

Whenever she was wronged by Yuchi Jiuyue, she would blame it on Mo Zhaohua. Jinqiu was no longer surprised by this.

"Your Highness, you are a concubine, not an ordinary one. It is impossible for the princess not to let the prince come. It should be OK if you wait a few more days."

Even the Queen couldn't stop the Emperor from going to other concubines' palaces, so how could Yuchi Jiuyue possibly do it, unless she wanted to be a jealous woman.

But as a princess, the first thing she had to do was to be magnanimous and tolerant, so that more women could have children for the palace.

Mo Yaohua's eyes were cold, "At most half a month, if she still doesn't let the prince come over, don't blame me for ruining her reputation."

***

October 4th.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua went to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Although Prince Jin had made an appointment with Mu Xueyan before, they did not take her with them.

Because of Prince Jin's rudeness last time, and because Xiao Yan would now teach Mu Xueyan martial arts, she was not willing to go.

In the carriage, Mo Zhaohua leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, "Miss Mu, have you developed feelings for Mr. Xiao?"

"From what Yueying has described, she seems to have a crush on me. She felt tired when I taught her how to practice, but Xiao Yan enjoyed teaching her."

Every time Chu Xuanchi saw Mo Zhaohua sitting like this, he hated that his legs could not move and he could only sit in a wheelchair and could not hold her in his arms.

Mo Zhaohua had never thought about this, so naturally he didn't know what he was thinking. "If this is true, will my husband be happy or worried?"

"Both. I plan to temporarily recruit Xiao Yan as Xue'er's teacher in the name of teaching martial arts, and keep him in the mansion to observe him more."

When it comes to Mu Xueyan's feelings and fate, Chu Xuanchi is extremely cautious. He is not at ease with Xiao Yan, always fearing that he has ulterior motives.

Mo Zhaohua smiled sweetly, "Can we give them a chance to get along?"

Chu Xuanchi did have this in mind, "Is Zhao Zhao too smart, or is my intention too obvious?"

"To use my husband's words just now, it's both. I'm smart, and my husband's intentions are a little more obvious."

Mo Zhaohua did not want to be modest in front of him. Only because he knew how intelligent she was did he feel at ease letting her face the difficulties with him.

Chu Xuanchi raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Based on Zhao Zhao's intelligence, is it possible that he will be safe when he goes to Prince Jin's Mansion today?"

"It's hard to say. I guess something must have happened, but my husband can't refuse normal interactions." Otherwise, Mo Zhaohua would not be willing to come.

"I heard that the backyard of Prince Jin's mansion is always bustling. I wonder if someone is pregnant again and wants to use us to get rid of her as soon as possible."

Chu Xuanchi's hand could only barely reach into Prince Qi's Mansion. Prince Jin's Mansion was temporarily powerless and could not obtain much inside information.

Mo Zhaohua had already thought of a solution, "It doesn't matter. My husband is disabled and I have to take care of you. We both have reasons not to move around."

The couple chatted all the way, and the carriage stopped outside the Prince of Jin's Mansion. They got off the carriage, and the doorman opened the door when he saw the carriage.

They were invited to sit in the main hall. Upon hearing the news, Prince Jin and Princess Jin came hand in hand to entertain the guests, and they looked very harmonious.

But it was only a harmonious relationship of mutual respect, not like the love between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, where one could tell at a glance that they were in love.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the maid served tea, and the brothers and sisters-in-law sipped their tea and chatted, creating a warm atmosphere.

Not long after, Concubine Shen Xiyue came over. She heard that Prince Yu and his wife were visiting their house, so she came to say hello to them.

Chu Xuanchi did not see her on his wedding day, but he saw her at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. At that time, Prince Jin sat next to him, with a woman on each side.

They were the principal wife Li Ying and the concubine Shen Xiyue. After returning, Mo Zhaohua mentioned to him that the first acquaintance between Prince Jin and the concubine was very beautiful.

The two met in the Plum Garden of the Imperial Garden on the day of the New Year's Palace Banquet. Shen Xiyue stood in the snow wearing a red cloak, more dazzling than the red plum blossoms.

At just one glance, Prince Jin was struck by her beauty, but he did not rashly approach her to talk to her. Instead, he asked someone to check, and only then did he find out her identity.

Shen Xiyue was the legitimate daughter of Shen Jian, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. He had wanted to marry her at that time, but unfortunately the Left Prime Minister's Mansion disliked her family background because of its inferiority.

At that time, the Left Prime Minister's Office had already selected a candidate for his principal wife, who was Li Ying, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel Li Wenfu. The key was that Emperor Wenzong was satisfied with her.

At the beginning of the next year, Li Ying was granted marriage to him as his principal wife. They got married in autumn. They had a good relationship during their honeymoon period until a concubine entered the mansion.

Shen Xiyue was brought into the mansion in April of the following year after Li Ying entered the mansion. She became pregnant in August, but Li Ying was still pregnant at that time.

At the end of the year, Shen Xiyue had a miscarriage and injured her body. She has been taking medicine to recuperate, but no good news has been heard since then.

Li Ying gave birth to a legitimate daughter in the third year after she entered the mansion. She became pregnant again later, but unfortunately, like Shen Xiyue, she was unable to keep the baby.

The children of the two concubines were safe, and nothing went wrong from pregnancy to birth. Unfortunately, they were not the sons that Prince Jin wanted.

After Shen Xiyue greeted the Prince and his wife, she sat down and started chatting with Mo Zhaohua. She was more beautiful than a flower and more lively than Li Ying.

Mo Zhaohua has discovered from their brief interactions that Li Ying is a dull person, while Shen Xiyue is more likable, so it's no wonder that she can win the favor of King Jin.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife calculated the time to go out, intending to return home after lunch, so they didn't sit for long before the banquet was ready.

Although the prince's concubine is also considered a concubine, her status is only slightly lower than that of the principal wife, so Shen Xiyue is qualified to accompany her at the table.

Not only the concubine, the Prince of Jin even called over his two concubines. Those two were also first-rate beauties with decent family backgrounds.

At least she was much better than Mo Yaohua, the concubine's daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. In his eyes, she was only fit to be a concubine who was not worthy of being on the stage.

During the banquet, the King of Jin smiled and said, "Fifth brother became famous at a young age, fought on the battlefield for many years, and won many battles. I guess his archery skills must be great, right?"
