Chu Xuanhan understood a little bit, "But it's not me who hurt Old Seven, he can't blame me."

Although Chu Xuanlin was seriously injured by Concubine Xian this time, it had nothing to do with him, and he believed that he could clear himself of the matter.

Chen Qi asked him, "Prince Rui is not to blame, but what about Concubine Shu? Concubine Liang has always been at odds with Concubine Gui, so what will happen if there is another Concubine Shu?"

Although Emperor Wenzong no longer favored any concubine as much as he did Concubine Chunxian, he still showed some preference based on the situation of the previous dynasty.

For example, Concubine Shu's mother's family was not as good as Concubine Liang's, so she received relatively less favor, while Concubine Chunhui was favored more than Concubine Liang.

But Shufei is one of the four concubines after all. No matter how little favor she receives from the emperor, she is still better than most of the concubines below the four, and can help Chunhui Guifei.

Chu Xuanhan suddenly realized, "What my uncle said makes a lot of sense."

Chen Jingxu added, "What's more, the virtuous concubine and the general's residence are closely connected. If something happens to her, it may affect the general's residence."

Chu Xuanhan's expression became solemn. "So, this is actually aimed at me. I am confused by the situation."

Chen Qi is a cautious person. "But this is Xu'er and I's current speculation. We haven't found any evidence to confirm it yet."

Chu Xuanhan nodded, "Whether there is evidence or not, I should remind my mother not to let her become enemies with Concubine Shu."

Chen Qi said seriously, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin's intentions are becoming more and more obvious. He can no longer tolerate His Royal Highness. You should be more cautious."

Chu Xuanhan was very unwilling, "Although my eldest brother is a noble son, there is still the crown prince. Why would he go to such great lengths to target me?"

"Maybe they're afraid that you'll side with the Crown Prince." Chen Qi changed the subject, "Your Highness, are you getting along well with the Princess lately?"

There were too many things that happened before the New Year, and he only knew that Chu Xuanhan took Yuchi Jiuyue back, but he was not clear about the subsequent situation.

Chu Xuanhan seemed helpless. "Since that incident, I have always followed her lead, so she won't make a fuss."

Chen Qisheng was afraid that he would be influenced by a woman again. "As the saying goes, the past is a lesson for the future. Don't be so impulsive in the future."

Chen Jingxu echoed, "Yes, if Your Highness does this for a concubine again, be careful of being labeled as a womanizer."

Chen Qi added: "It's more than just indulging in beauty. This is already considered favoring concubines over wives, which really damages your highness's reputation."

"Don't worry, everyone. I will never do this again." Chu Xuanhan himself regretted it, but he still didn't want to listen to them pointing it out.

In his opinion, he was able to recognize his mistakes on his own and there was no need for them to go to such lengths and damage his reputation and dignity.

Chen Qi taught earnestly, "Since the concubine's child could not be saved, Your Highness should work harder to make the princess pregnant as soon as possible."

Chu Xuanhan was worried, "I don't have any children yet, but the King of Jin is plotting this way. If the princess really gets pregnant, what will happen?"

"Does Your Highness want to stop having children because of this?" Chen Qi said, "Prince Jin is so ambitious, Your Majesty will deal with it."

"Yes, uncle." Chu Xuanhan did not want Emperor Wenzong to take action, but wanted to see the Crown Prince and Prince of Jin both suffer losses.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, and he wants to be that fisherman.

***

Prince Qi's Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Nanny Wu and Qinghua were serving Mo Yaohua in the bedroom.

Mo Yaohua leaned against the head of the bed, "Liu Lang didn't come on New Year's Eve, and didn't come on New Year's Day. Why won't you come today?"

Nanny Wu reminded her in a low voice, "Madam, the prince will accompany the princess to the General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings today."

"Yes, on the second day of the new year, I will go back to my parents' home." Mo Yaohua sighed, "Then when can I go back to the Shangshu Mansion?"

Qinghua comforted her, "Your Majesty, take good care of yourself. By the Lantern Festival, you will be out of confinement and perhaps you can return to the Shangshu Mansion."

"What's the point of going back alone?" Mo Yaohua thought of one person, "By the way, how many people are going back to the Shangshu Mansion with Mo Zhaohua today?"

Qinghua replied, "Your Majesty, Princess Yu went to the Minister of Revenue's residence with His Royal Highness Prince Yu this morning, but did not stay for dinner."

Mo Yaohua sneered when he heard this, gloating, "In the first year of New Year's greetings, you won't have a meal at your parents' house. Mo Zhaohua, just wait to be criticized by thousands of people."

Qinghua lowered her head and dared not say a word. If she wanted to offend Mo Yaohua, she would let Nanny Wu speak out to avoid being scolded.

Nanny Wu gritted her teeth and said, "Princess Yu had lunch with Miss Rong at the Fuguo Mansion, so she is also considered at her parents' home."

"Damn it, I actually forgot that my father had divorced." Mo Yaohua's eyes rolled around, "I must ask Liu Lang to go back with me."

Even Nanny Wu, who was truly one of the family members, felt that it was inappropriate, "Madam, this is not a good way to do it, right? It is somewhat embarrassing for the prince."

"He is just embarrassed, but I am embarrassed!" Mo Yaohua said angrily, "We have been married for so long, and I have never returned to my parents' home with him."

"This..." Nanny Wu didn't know what to say, for she was afraid that she would be unhappy if she said that she was just a concubine and not the legal wife.

Mo Yaohua repeatedly emphasized, "A concubine is just like a principal concubine. She can also be included in the imperial royal book and be recognized by the royal family. She is not a concubine."

Nanny Wu responded in a low voice, "Yes, Madam..."

A concubine can indeed be included in the royal imperial edict, so she can be called "Empress".

"Has the prince returned?" Mo Yaohua was jealous and resentful, "Does it take so long just to accompany Yuchi Jiuyue to her parents' home?"

Nanny Wu was tired of dealing with it and didn't want to respond anymore, so she winked at Qinghua, indicating that she should answer.

Qinghua then spoke, "No, I guess our prince will probably go to the Minister of Works' residence."

Mo Yaohua asked without even thinking, "What is Liu Lang doing there?"

Qinghua replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Industry, Mr. Chen, is the prince's uncle."

"Uncle..." Mo Yaohua murmured in a low voice. This title was too unfamiliar to her.

Qinghua was frightened by her sudden cold expression, "Madam Wu, what's wrong with the queen?"

Nanny Wu quickly reminded her, "Don't mention grandfather, uncle, aunt, etc. in front of the queen in the future."

Lan Ruyu is an orphan picked up by Mo Yun. She has not found her family yet, so Mo Yaohua naturally does not have an uncle.

Therefore, she had envied Mo Zhaohua since she was a child. Her grandfather was powerful, her uncle was mighty, and she was also on good terms with her cousins.

Qinghua responded obediently, "Yes..."

Mo Yaohua asked, "Mammy, I have lost my child now and can no longer pretend to have a stomachache. How can I lure the prince here?"

Not only did she want to see Chu Xuanhan, she also wanted him to accompany her home to save face, but he could only come to Wutong Garden once every half a month.

Nanny Wu thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to lure him here, but you can secretly send a message to the prince. If the prince feels sorry for you, he will come."

Mo Yaohua felt that he would come. Chu Xuanhan liked her so much that he would visit her bedroom at night before marriage. Now it would be more convenient for him to come in the mansion.

So she ordered, "Then find an inconspicuous person to pass the message, so as to avoid being recognized by Yuchi Jiyue's people and causing trouble."
