In Yonghe Palace, when Concubine De saw Fourteenth Prince coming, she immediately burst into laughter.

Concubine De asked Fourteen to sit down and she was busy serving tea and pouring water.

Fourteenth mentioned that he had just gone to thank the emperor, and then talked about the job he got.

Upon hearing this, Concubine De was even happier and said, "This Ruoxi is a blessed person. She will bring you good luck. You should treat her well in the future."

"Mother won't grant you the title of Princess or anything like that. You should just give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible."

When Fourteen heard this, his face immediately turned red.

Concubine De looked at Fourteen with amusement and admonished, "Ruoxi has a good family background. If there are any inappropriate aspects of her personality, you should be more tolerant as a man. Husband and wife should get along more and everything will be fine."

Concubine De still hopes that Maltai will support Fourteenth Prince to ascend the throne, but she will not try hard to give Fourteenth Prince someone in her backyard as she did to Fourth Prince.

On the wedding date in May of the following year, Zhen Yurao stayed in the house and did not go out.

The Eighth Master has completely given up on this idea, and Zhen Yurao has not provoked the Fourth Master, so they should be able to stay away from trouble for the time being.

Time passed quickly. The year Zhen Yurao gave birth to her eldest son, the emperor took several princes to Mulan Paddock and left the Eighth Master and his party in the capital.

The Eighth Master and his party of four remained in the capital, and the Eighth Master was even given the title of regent.

The eighteenth prince died young, the crown prince was deposed, and everything was just as he remembered.

Even without Ruoxi, the time-traveling girl, the battle for the throne among the nine princes would still go on as usual.

Six years later, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, but the eagle presented by the Eighth Master was already dying.

The emperor angrily rebuked the Eighth Prince and blocked his path to the throne.

The Eighth Master fell ill in Tangquan because of the emperor's reprimand, and Ruolan went to Tangquan to take care of him.

When the emperor remembered the Eighth Master again, he had already passed away due to illness.

The emperor's original anger towards the Eighth Brother completely dissipated in an instant.

After seeing Lao Ba's body, the emperor even spat out a mouthful of blood.

After the emperor woke up, Li Dequan came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the two eunuchs who were responsible for delivering the eagle were caught trying to commit suicide and were tortured and revealed the person who ordered them to do so."

"The people below investigated further and found out that it was the Fourth Prince."

The emperor said several good things in a row, and then issued an edict: "My fourth son framed his brothers, and his intention is to be killed. Take away his yellow belt, and strip him of his title for his crime. Confine him to the palace and do not leave without being summoned."

"Confer the title of Prince upon the eighth prince posthumously, and give him the posthumous title of Xianzhong."

"Confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort Liang posthumously, and add the character Ren to her posthumous title."

After the Eighth Prince's funeral, Ruolan took a drug that made her appear dead and left the capital.

In a short period of time, two popular princes were killed, and the court was quiet for a while.

The emperor was getting older and older, and after he recovered, he still let the remaining princes fight each other.

After Fourteen returned home, he went to see Zhen Yurao.

Zhen Yurao was coaxing her second son to sleep, singing a lullaby softly.

Fourteen stood at the door, looking at the mother and son with a smile, feeling that all the busyness during the day was worth it.

After Zhen Yurao stood up, she was almost startled. She patted her chest and mouthed, "You scared me."

Fourteen came over and held Zhen Yurao's hand, and the two of them went to the bedroom hand in hand.

Zhen Yurao asked, "You came back so late today, is there something wrong?"

Fourteenth embraced Zhen Yurao and said, "Today I passed by the mansion where Big Brother used to live and stopped outside for a while."

"I didn't stand up and plead for mercy in the matter of the starling that day, and I still feel guilty about it."

"When the crown prince was deposed, I stood up to plead for my brother and was nearly killed by the emperor."

"After the emperor punished me with a cane, he became even more suspicious of my brother, thinking that several of my brothers were conspiring to usurp the throne."

"That day, I was afraid that because of my plea, my dear brother would be hated by the emperor again."

"Before leaving, Bage didn't know who was behind it, and he probably thought I was the one who was trying to harm him."
