As the matriarch was truly ill this time, the Prince Chung did not hand over the military power. She only temporarily stayed at home and acted as a filial son in front of her master's sickbed. The Yang Residence seemed to have started from the incident in the Princess Chung, no, from the moment Yang Juan Er invited the female disciples into the palace, this family was unable to live peacefully, and on the second day after the Matriarch Yang fell ill, another bad news spread out from the palace.

They said that it would be difficult for the new emperor to produce his son, but Yang Juan Er was so jealous that he tried to take revenge on his imperial concubine, causing the new emperor to be unable to do anything. He also found out that Yang Juan Er had recently caused a small loss to his concubine, but the father of his concubine was an imperial physician from the Imperial Physician Guild, thus —

Yang Juan Er was demoted to a commoner and sent into the cold palace, while all of his aunts were sent to the courtyard.

The Yang Mansion was quite far away from the palace, and with Princess Chung being seriously ill, and Su Waner being busy with greedy ink, Mu Rousang would never take the initiative to go forward, and with Prince Chung being sent to war, Yang Juan Er's lonely palm at the palace could not even make a sound, he would definitely lose!

Matriarch Yang naturally did not plan to hide this matter from the heavily ill Princess Chung, so he specially sent someone to her courtyard to report.

Currently, the people in the courtyard of the Princess Chung had already been replaced by the Matriarch's men. The moment anything happened, even if the Princess Chung lost his temper and fell for a cup, someone would secretly report it to the Matriarch Yang.

Therefore, Yang Juan Er was unlucky, and the second thing Matriarch Yang did was to send people to Princess Chung.

Princess Chung knew that he was very ill. In the past few days, he had been standing at the corridor every day, looking at the tightly shut gate.

This wait usually lasted for a day. No one knew who she was hoping for, the unfaithful and unloyal Prince Chung. Was it Yang Zizhi, whose cold nature had long thrown her out of his mind, or Yang Juan Er, who she remembered as the person who enjoyed all the glory and riches?

On this day, it was rare for Princess Chung to calm down and not cause trouble in the courtyard.

The few guards in the courtyard were sitting far away under another veranda, quietly discussing the recent events that had occurred in the manor. Matriarch Yang had told them about this before, so Princess Chung did not know about it.

Bang, bang bang bang!

The door that was always hard to open with all the dust gathered was knocked. The knocking sound was hurried but short.

After being locked up for so long, Princess Chung had long lost her usual shrewdness. Her eyes lit up and her mouth raised in a smile.

”What are you shouting for? Do you really think you're an imperial concubine?”

”I'm dying of laughter. Of course I'm an imperial concubine, but I don't use my title. These are all given to me by our prince. He doesn't know how to cherish his fortune and cause trouble all the time.”

”Don't you have hands and feet? You can't do it yourself! Who wants to do it under such a bright sun!?”

The Princess Chung only said one sentence, and now, all of the old granny envoys who she didn't even dare to raise her head before were hopping on top of her head.

”Just you wait, my daughter must have sent someone from the palace to fetch her. Hurry up and fetch me some water so that I can wash up.”

Only then did those wives think of the Empress who stayed in the palace all year round, and realised that the Princess Chung's words were reasonable. After the few of them pushed and jostled about, they finally pushed the wives out to open the door.

In the end, she opened the door with a smile, and her old face smiled even more amiably. ”Old sister, why are you here?”

”Enough nonsense!” The person who had come was a Mothers in charge from the Matriarch Yang Courtyard.

”The matriarch sent me to speak to the wangfei!”

The old woman who opened the door carefully asked, ”Are you going to release that person?”

Mothers in charge's face sank, and said: ”What about letting her go or not, you have to be careful of what you say. When the wangfei has hysteria, the matriarch is kind and afraid that she'll be bullied. That's why the wangfei stayed in the courtyard to rest.

Only after the old woman carefully pondered over what she had said did she realize that she had said the wrong things previously. Even if she really intended to lock Princess Chung up, she couldn't say it so bluntly.

”But my daughter sent someone from the palace?”

When the Princess Chung saw this person from afar, he knew that it was the Mothers in charge who was in Matriarch Yang's room. His smile became even more friendly, but he did not know how scary his blue face looked now.

Because of that, she was no longer as sharp as she was in the past.

”Esteemed wangfei, you're doing well. It looks like you're in good spirits today. Have you taken any medicine before?”

The first part was asking Princess Chung, while the second part was saying it to the old granny beside him.

”Elder sister, don't worry. All of the wangfei's medicine is drunk by us servants.” After saying that, she felt that the Mothers in charge's gaze was still as cold as water, staring straight at her.

She could only bite the bullet and reply, ”There's only one time. While we weren't paying attention, the wangfei quietly vomited out the medicine she drank.”

”There's no next time? The matriarch was still eagerly waiting for the princess consort to take care of things? ”You said that the patient is restless, so you all have to properly advise him. Only when he recovers can he …”

The reason why the steward stopped here was because the Princess Chung had already arrived in front of her.

”What brings you here? Why didn't you bring me some clothes and jewelry? ”

Yang Zizhi had touched all of her jewelry, and her dowry was already in Prince Chung's hands, along with her family's decline …

Mothers in charge turned his head to look at Princess Chung in surprise. He didn't understand why she said that, so he hurriedly paid his respects before replying seriously, ”Royal Concubine said that this servant wouldn't understand. However, the Empress didn't send anyone over.
