"The Crown Prince has come to my presence. I won't eat you. Why is it that the Crown Prince is always avoiding me like this?"

Zhu Youtang was already ten years old, and had already become the crown prince of Da Ming for four years. Although Zhu Youtang hated the Consort Wan to death in his heart, he was still unable to escape from his master's discipline.

Knowing that the Consort Wan was just teasing him for fun, Zhu Youtang could only endure in the dark.

"This is the peach blossom soup personally made by me, I don't need to order it!"

"Thank you Imperial Concubine for your gift." Zhu Youtang stopped himself from doing anything as he received the Peach Blossom Soup. Although he did not dare to eat too much, he still took three bites.

"The taste is still alright, it is said that this late spring peach blossom soup is poisonous. The crown prince is feeling unbearable from his bellyache right now! " Seeing Zhu Youtang's pale face, Consort Wan laughed out loud.

"Crown Prince, this is all your servant's fault, your servant deserves to die." Spring Mud heard the words of the Consort Wan and hated that she couldn't kill the Spirit Demon woman.

What a pleasure it is to see your pain, to be disturbed by the roar of a lowly slave. Wan Zhener was extremely furious: "Darn you servant, what are you doing making such a big fuss out of nothing! Slap my face, you actually dare to contradict me!"

"Consort Wan, please forgive this servant. This servant has a dumb mouth and forgave the Empress's morals. I will definitely discipline him when I return." Zhu You Gu said humbly as he clenched his hands. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

When the Consort Wan saw Zhu You's lowered head, she immediately became bored.

"Why are you not scared? Am I such a malicious person? It was boring, not fun at all. He didn't have the courage from when he was young. "It's really boring. It's not as interesting as my Tiger Head. Return to the palace." The tiger head of the Consort Wan was a vicious dog used by eunuchs to coax the Consort Wan.

Zhu Youtang knew that he could not resist, and her Consort Wan was deeply favored and doted upon by his royal father. The officials from the previous dynasty had all said that this wicked woman was the evil demon of a country, and that she should be killed for her beauty. Only, thinking about how his own royal father, Zhu Jianshen, had disregarded the words of the imperial court and insisted on making the Wan his imperial concubine. Thinking about what Former Empress Wu said, Zhu Youtang still chose to endure.

Returning back to the An'an Palace, where the Empress Dowager Zhou was located, Zhu Youtang did not dare to tell the Empress Dowager Zhou what happened today. It was funny, the crown prince of Great Ming Dynasty had already become a member of the imperial harem. They could only live under the protection of the empress dowager. Zhu Youtang swore that he would never be able to live with the Wan again.

"Mistress, you have to use something soft to cover your stomach." Now that the Imperial Physician Luo did not come, Du Li did not dare to let Zhu Youtang eat. They were afraid that Consort Wan would really use the medicine, and that she would make Zhu Youtang's death the greatest pleasure.

"It's fine, I'm not hungry now, it's fine to wait for Imperial Physician Luo." Zhu Youtang thought that there was no harm in waiting for him, after all, Imperial Physician Luo was already old. If not for Imperial Physician Luo's secret assistance over the years, Zhu Youtang didn't dare imagine how he would have lived.

felt that these servants were even more naive than him. They were still fresh in the palace when they were servants at the Venerable Life Palace. Compared to the cold palace, this was nothing.

Former Empress Wu had always emphasized in the West Palace that he was only able to live until now because of Buddha's blessing. After the emperor ascended the throne, the imperial harem was under the control of the Wan. Although the Emperor of the Crown's mother did not like Wan Zhener, because she, the older emperor was seventeen years old and was born a palace lady.

However, the mother can no longer change her mind as the Emperor's son.

Empress Dowager Zhou was the well-deserved empress dowager, but among the women of the imperial harem, there was still one Wan Zhener who wanted to oppose the Empress Dowager Zhou. Whenever the two fought, the Emperor Zhu Jianshen would always side with his beloved concubine. Instead, he had agreed to that sentence, and now that he had a wife, he forgot about his mother.

Because of this, Empress Dowager Zhou treated Consort Wan as a thorn in his side, the thorn in his flesh could not wait to be pulled out quickly.

Therefore, whenever Wan Zhener disliked it, the Empress Dowager Zhou would be willing to help. This meant that the Consort Wan wanted his to die, and the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted her to live in the Tzu Ning Palace.

It's both right and wrong, Zhu Jianshen was not stupid. No matter if it was a filial act or as a man, Zhu Jianshen could not just sit by and watch helplessly as his successor left him. So when Empress Dowager Zhou spoke out, Zhu Jianshen did as he was told.

Zhu Youtang thought about what Zhang Min had told him before he died.

There were few sons in the palace, and it had been more than seven years since the emperor had ascended to the throne. It was not that Empress Dowager Zhou did not know that Consort Wan had secretly harmed her grandson.

However, since the Emperor wanted to protect such a wicked woman, the Empress Dowager Zhou was unwilling to force his son into a corner. In the end, they could only secretly protect their beloved concubines, hoping that a woman would give birth to a grandson for them. "

A few years ago, there was only one child in the palace, born from the Chen Fei s of three years of maturation. She was the eldest son of the emperor in name, and the empress dowager had named him Zhu Youji. was Zhu Youtang's big brother, but she wasn't the emperor's first child.

The Emperor's first child was born in the Consort Wan. Born two years old, and died three days old.

All these years later in the palace, there were still many sons of the emperor. However, Wan Zhener was a venomous woman. As long as one was a concubine in the palace with good looks, and was doted on by the Emperor, no one would be able to protect their child.

Whether it was due to Wan Zhener's miscarriage with medicine, or due to Wan Zhener's conspiracy, they had all died. In short, the only thing that could be born was the Second Prince, and it was the result of Empress Dowager Zhou risking his life to protect him. Consort Wan's methods were even more vicious after her child died.

Consort Wan hated her concubine even more, and Empress Dowager Zhou provided even more protection for his. However, there were still Empress Dowager Zhou s that could not be taken into account, so quite a few princes died young. But even so, Zhu Jianshen still turned a blind eye to the Consort Wan's actions.

After knowing that Zhu Jianshen would not be able to rely on himself, Empress Dowager Zhou no longer hoped for his son.

"Zhang Min, the Wailing Home has ordered you to protect the Ji Clan's stomach. You cannot disappoint the Wailing Home. Right now, the Wailing Home is counting on the Ji Clan's belly. That evil woman, Wan, actually dares to harm your son, Wailing Home, and definitely won't allow it. "

Regarding Wan Zhener, the Empress Dowager Zhou must be on guard, so even if Ji Yune was sent to the cold palace, she still had to be on guard. The Empress Dowager Zhou was still secretly arranging people to protect the Ji Clan. After all, Ji Yune was a Yao Clan princess.

But in the end, it was different from the Consort Xian, it had nothing to do with the empress dowager. Even if the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to protect the Ji clan, there was no reason. Empress Dowager Zhou would never do something that has no master.

"This servant definitely won't disappoint the empress dowager's trust. Although I can't say that I'm the empress dowager's right and left arm in the palace, you can still trust me." Zhang Min was handsome, of course he removed the wrinkles on his face.

After all, he was an old eunuch who was in his forties. Even with how delicate and pretty Zhang Min was back then, he was still unable to resist the slight ugliness that appeared on his face. He didn't dare to get too close to the Empress Dowager now. If he scared the empress dowager, even nine lives wouldn't be enough for Zhang Min to die.

"Hmph, this time, regardless of male or female, the Wailing Home wants this child alive. Wan, don't think that you can succeed in your scheme this time. " The result of a battle of wits and courage was one's extreme fatigue.

After all, Empress Dowager Zhou was not young anymore, even if he could take good care of his. From the looks of it, they were only in their early thirties, but they were still old. After talking to Zhang Min for a while, Empress Dowager Zhou had gotten tired. Zhang Min walked out of Ci'an Palace with a meaningful look in his eyes, then walked towards An Hall and's side.

"Father, come back. The Leng Palace has already made arrangements." The midwife has already been found, and the servants have also been arranged. " As the foster son of Zhang Min, he had a clever way of doing things.

As a eunuch in charge, Zhang Min naturally didn't need to do everything personally. So Zhang Min handed this matter to his foster son to take care of, and as Zhang Min's foster son, he naturally had to give his all. Although the Ji clan wasn't favored, no one could say for sure as to how much trouble the harem was in.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager Zhou likes it, so what if Zhu Jianshen doesn't? As long as the Empress Mother likes it. As a result, most of them were handed over to the underground eunuchs. This time, Zhang Min placed great importance on it. If it was done, Empress Dowager Zhou would like it.

The one who received the reward was Zhang Min, and the way he followed along was also well seen by Zhang Min. Although the conditions for Consort Wan to drive out were not bad, he was still afraid that the ship would capsize.

Since he wanted to bet on both sides of the treasure, he naturally had to bet. Only by doing this could he ensure that he would be absolutely certain of success.

"Remember, you have to think about your child. Don't give up so easily. Little sister, you have to stay alive, okay? Only by living will there be hope for the future. "

The Former Empress Wu knew both reason and beauty, yet such a young girl had already lived in a cold palace for six years. Even though she was dressed in coarse clothes, it was still difficult to cover up the Former Empress Wu's appearance. At the very least, if Consort Wan was compared to Former Empress Wu, he would have to be ashamed of his inferiority.

Entering the palace was conferred the title of Empress, and then, because it was against the Wan. It had only been a month since she had become a queen, and she had never experienced what production was like. But seeing how Ji Yune was in so much pain, the Queen herself felt a sense of grief.

The old servant in Former Empress Wu's house always said that having a child was like walking through hell. Former Empress Wu originally thought that it was an exaggeration, but after seeing it now, he didn't think that it was so.

"This is an old ginseng from the south. It's not many, but I've heard that it's very good for the people who produce it. I told Cai Xiang to use it, and now that you need it, don't reject it. " With an attitude that Ji Yune could not reject, Former Empress Wu fed the ginseng soup into her mouth.

Tang Tang saved his mother's life, Ji Yune told his child personally. Not for anything else, Ji Yune just wanted Zhu Youtang to remember Former Empress Wu's saving grace.

These memories were the warmth in Zhu Youtang's heart, so he could only reflect upon them again and again. However, he felt that it was just too ridiculous, there was only himself who was raised by a man, Zhu Youtang thought.

However, what Zhu Youtang thought to be absurd was not that there were none in the world. In the Cangzhou in the western suburbs of Beijing, there was a child who had the same experience as her.

The Zhang family now had a twelve-year-old daughter, a child dressed up as a woman. Different from how Zhu Youtang was being tormented, Zhang Siyan was a treasure the Zhang couple held in their hands.

The Zhang family was originally a family of outsiders, but because their ancestors had some small wealth, they grew to be as wealthy as the Zhang family today. The main Zhang family was from Wu County, and Zhang's wife, who had been in the family for four years, went with the Old Master to Wu County to pay homage to the ancestral tombs of the family temple.

On the way back to the Cangzhou from Wu County, Zhang family's three carriages and their belongings were at the Wanzhou near Jinling. Mrs. Zhang was a merciful person, but to see her master's servant anthocyanin acting so loyally … She couldn't bear to see a child be killed by a heartless person just like that.

"Husband, why don't we save this child? This loyal servant is also a rare sight. Although I don't know exactly what happened, the child is innocent. " Lady Chen felt that she should beg her husband.

"This woman is truly a loyal person. This is already rare." "According to Madam's words, let's save this child." Zhang Shan was a scholar, he had his own style of study.

If Zhang Shan had really wanted to watch his child die miserably, it would have been impossible for him. "Thus, the only thing that can be done now is to have the servants drive those thugs away." If you guys are to go overboard, don't blame this old man for not showing mercy. "

"Hmph, it would be best if you all go far away. Remember that Wanzhou is not that easy to mess with. If you really want to interfere, then don't regret it. " These rogues were randomly found by Lady Chen's wet nurse. As long as they could be given money, they would naturally be willing to kill.

Now that he saw that his life was in danger, of course he didn't have any sense of loyalty to speak of. Even though they were speaking very maliciously and threatening words, the four Evildoers still managed to escape in the blink of an eye. It wasn't that those people were cowardly, it was just that Zhang Shan was a tactful person.

He knew what he should do, so the servants by his side were all fat and well-built. After driving the evil person away, the Zhang Shan couple finally had a chance to speak to the anthocyanin who was hugging their child.
