"The crimes of Concubine Feng and the Feng family are unforgivable. The entire family shall be executed."

Concubine Feng and the Feng family collapsed on the ground, but fortunately they managed to save Rong Yan's life.

But Rong Yan is a commoner now, and staying in a place like the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life is no different from being dead.

"Su Delu, draft the decree."

"The slave is here."

"Consort Chu Hui will be posthumously named Empress Xiaoci. In addition, Prince Jing Ronglin will be named Crown Prince, enjoy the power of regent, and move into the Eastern Palace."

Su Delu smiled and said, "Prince, why don't you thank me?"

"Father, Shu Yue..."

"Well, I've forgotten about this. Jiang Shuyue is virtuous and kind. She has been with the Crown Prince through thick and thin. She has made great contributions in assisting the Crown Prince. She is both virtuous and filial, so she is named the Crown Princess."

Xiao Lin took Jiang Shuyue's hand, and the couple knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you. Long live your father."

……

There was no rush to move to the Eastern Palace. On that day, Jiang Shuyue and Xiao Lin brought the two elders of the Chu family back to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Everyone sat together and sighed.

Mr. Chu looked at Xiao Lin, "Lin'er, why did you let Rong Yan go today?"

Xiao Lin looked at Jiang Shuyue and did not hide her contribution. "It was Shuyue who reminded me. Then I remembered that when Prince Duan harmed me, my father did not take his life. My father has always been kind, so I thought of sparing Rong Yan's life. My father would be happy."

"Shuyue, when did I remind you?"

Chu Zhao asked, regarding the situation at that time, he and the old man wanted to remind the emperor but were stopped.

Xiao Lin took Jiang Shuyue's hand, and Jiang Shuyue scratched his palm. After the father and son saw it, they understood.

"Okay, okay, Shu Yue is indeed your wise wife. You gave a good reminder. We originally wanted you to do this. No emperor wants to see his sons killing each other. If you want to kill Rong Yan, then in the eyes of your father, you are almost the same as him."

Xiao Lin also thought of this, so he said that at the time.

"But your father is a wise ruler. You spared Rong Yan's life. But for someone as proud as Rong Yan, living is more painful than death. He cannot die in this life. He is imprisoned there and has to listen to the news that you will succeed to the throne in the future."

This was simply worse than killing him.

And Xiao Lin was able to gain the appreciation of Emperor Cheng'en, which was like killing two birds with one stone.

"By the way, did you understand what Shen Zhihuan said?" asked Old Master Chu.

If Jiang Shuyue had not lived two lives, it would have been hard for him to believe it. For them, accepting it was somewhat difficult.

"I don't understand. I guess you were so scared that you talked nonsense." Jiang Shuyue said softly.

Xiao Lin agreed, "She was always weird, and Rong Yan backstabbed her, so I guess she went crazy for a while."

The Chu family father and son did not ask any more questions. After all, the current result was already the best.

Although they still think about their daughter and sister, the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Jiang Shuyue was pregnant, so she sat for a while and then went back to her room to rest.

The Chu family's father and son asked Xiao Lin to take care of her. Such a precious daughter-in-law must be cherished.

Just now, Yueya had sold out the people on the list given by Jiang Shuyue.

It's okay to beat it to death, but it's still good to sell it for some money, which can be considered as doing good deeds for the baby in your belly.

Jiang Shuyue handed the task of buying people over to Yueya. Yueya was very happy because she was valued. She felt like a good horse had met a good master.

What's more, their masters became the prince and princess, and her status as a housekeeper also rose accordingly.

After the door was closed, only Jiang Shuyue and Xiao Lin were left.

"Do you think Father will kill Shen Zhihuan?"

Jiang Shuyue shook her head, "No."

"I think so too." Xiao Lin's face was solemn. "Her identity and what she said are too tempting for a person. Not to mention my father, even an ordinary person would want to try it."

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "That's right, but Shen Zhihuan can't stay."

"But she is in the palace right now. If we take action now, our father will be hostile to us."

Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath, "I think Shen Zhihuan will still want to see me, then..."

"No, it's too dangerous, Shuyue. I don't want you to take any risks."

Jiang Shuyue deliberately said: "Is there any other way? The longer the night, the more dreams there are. She must die sooner."

"At worst, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shuyue's fingers pressed on his lips, "You were so smart just now, why are you so stupid now?"

Xiao Lin looked at her, "What do you have in mind?"

"We just had a good life. You are reluctant to let it go, and I am even more reluctant. How can we ruin it for others?"

Xiao Lin nodded, "Yes, we can't take risks. So what are you going to do?"

Jiang Shuyue curled her lips, "You'll know when the time comes."

Sure enough, news came from the palace that Shen Zhihuan wanted to see Jiang Shuyue before he died.

"Didn't he get poisoned wine? Aren't you dead yet?" Jiang Shuyue asked.

Su Delu laughed dryly, "Crown Princess, Shen Zhihuan saved the Queen Mother's life after all. The Emperor allowed her to see whoever she wanted to see, but she said she just wanted to see you, so... please make a trip."

Jiang Shuyue smiled and nodded, "Father treats us so well, we are naturally willing to share his worries. Father is a filial person, so we should naturally learn from him. Grandpa, let's go."

"Crown Princess, you are truly the best person I have ever met. Our Crown Prince is so blessed."

"Thank you, eunuch." Jiang Shuyue handed him a bag of golden melon seeds.

"Oh, you can't do that, Crown Princess. It's my job to do this..."

Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "My father-in-law, you have misunderstood me. You have taken care of our father more attentively than any of us. Please don't be polite. Just treat it as inviting my father-in-law to have a cup of tea."

Who would use such a bag of golden melon seeds for tea? It’s enough to buy a teahouse.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Su Delu gave Jiang Shuyue a thumbs up in his heart. How could she be a country girl? A lady from a noble family wouldn't have such conversation and scheming.

This will be the future master, so he must serve him well and inform him of any news in the palace.

"Princess, please slow down. I will hold a lantern for you."

"Thank you, eunuch, but can you let me and Shen Zhihuan have a few words alone?"

Su Delu looked embarrassed, "Crown Princess, your safety is the most important."

Jiang Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "My father-in-law is more thoughtful, but I know a little bit of fighting skills."

"I didn't know the Crown Princess was so powerful."

Shen Zhihuan's hoarse voice came from inside the room, "All of you get out, I want to talk to Jiang Shuyue alone."

"Then... I will be waiting outside. If the Crown Princess needs anything, just call me. You two, go check if the person has been tied up. Tie him up tightly and don't hurt the Crown Princess. You won't be able to take the blame even if you have several heads."
