After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

"What does Prince Dule mean? Why can't the Ai family understand it?"

"Although I am a man, my reputation has been insulted by Concubine Li. How should I say this?"

Ke Yiqing squeezed her thighs tightly to stop laughing. It turned out that Prince Dule was following his example and wanted to extort a sum of money from Chu Yun.

Although the Turks are said to have strong soldiers and horses, they were formed by nomadic people and are still too poor. If he brought back a hundred or eighty thousand people, the treatment would naturally be different.

Chu Yun was so horrified that she was about to collapse. How could this happen?

Not only did she not drag Ke Yiqing into the trap, but she made herself miserable. How could she have so much money to give to others? The 10 taels of silver promised before had almost wiped out her family fortune.

"The Queen Mother, I really don't have so much money!"

As if she remembered something, she pushed Liyue out from beside her, "It's all Liyue, I never thought that you are such a person!"

Now not only Liyue was dumbfounded, but Ke Yiqing was also dumbfounded.

Isn't Liyue her confidant?How could you push someone out just for a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver?
Chu Yun naturally knew that Liyue was her confidant and could not easily push out to block the gun, but now she really had no choice but to retreat.

Liyue smiled bitterly: "Yes, they are all slaves, no. If Prince Dule has any resentment, please come against the slaves."

Dürer didn't buy it. How much money could a little maid give out?

"No, I still want Concubine Li to compensate for my losses."

The Queen came forward to smooth things over, "In my opinion, Liyue is the culprit in this matter, but Concubine Li deserves punishment for her lax conduct."

The final decision was to put Liyue to death, to suspend Chu Yun's salary for two years, and to think about it behind closed doors for half a year. Due to his own lack of moral integrity, he threatened to take the eleventh prince into his own custody.

Chu Yun fell to the ground, her face full of disbelief. It was just a frame-up that failed, why did it lead to such a result.

"No, Queen, how can you take away my child?!"

The Queen spoke righteously: "Concubine Li, Concubine Li, look at what good things you are doing now? What good will the eleventh prince lose when he grows up with a biological mother like you?"

She and Chu Yun quarreled, and the queen reaped the benefits and became a good person.

Is it really so easy this time to take away the custody rights of the eleventh prince?Ke Yiqing felt that it was too smooth.

Sure enough, Yan Ming arrived in time.

He knelt down and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and then begged for Chu Yun's mercy.

As soon as he knelt down, the prime minister and his accomplices also knelt down. Suddenly, the dispute in the harem turned into an important matter in the front court, and the emperor had to intervene.

He was worried that if the eleventh prince was really handed over to the queen to be raised, then the queen would have three princes under her name, and the family would become dominant. This was really not a situation he wanted to see.

"Then, as my dear friends have said, the eleventh prince is still young, so it would be more prudent for him to be raised by his biological mother. Everything else should be done according to the queen's wishes."

Yan Ming kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, the Liyue Palace Lady has been following Concubine Li for many years, and the Eleventh Prince has also been under her care. If he is executed now, I'm afraid..."

Even the Queen Mother became cautious when it came to the emperor's heir.

"Emperor, we are still young and the eleventh prince is still young, so it is better to let him go."

Ke Yiqing stared at the figure kneeling on the ground, but the figure never looked back at her, never.

She lifted up her skirt and knelt down blankly: "Your Majesty, if Liyue is not eliminated, where will the reputation of the fateful woman be? Does your Majesty want everyone in the world to know that the reputation of our ministers is such that others can do whatever they want? Is it slanderous?"

The Queen Mother was furious, this Ke Yiqing, she thought he was a good person before, how could he be so stubborn now!

What she said was so loud that the emperor had to think about it. But being held up like this made him feel uncomfortable. Just when he was about to have an attack, he heard a gentle voice.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't discuss government affairs arbitrarily, but at this time it's about a woman's reputation, so I can't help but feel the same way."

The emperor's expression softened. "After all, it's still a dispute between women, Concubine De, you might as well talk about it."

Ke Yiqing turned around, and from a distance, the noble and beautiful woman smiled and nodded at her.

"In my humble opinion, this is not just a dispute between women's families."

"Oh? What is that?"

Concubine De's tone was so gentle that the audience could not help but calm down. She said: "This matter involves a lot, including Prince Dule and Mrs. Ke, as well as the concubines in the harem. If the Holy One does not deal with it impartially, I am afraid it will hurt both countries. Not to mention friendship, it also hurts the hearts of the ministers."

I am a concubine, I am a minister first and then I am a concubine.

The emperor thought deeply. Although he had become more and more mediocre recently, he still had to consider the words of a person of Concubine De's stature. After all, the people standing behind her were eight aristocratic families.

"Concubine Yi De, how should we deal with this matter?"

Concubine De pondered for a moment and then spoke in a compromise.

The general meaning is to retain Concubine Li's right to raise the eleventh prince, and at the same time require Concubine Li to apologize to Ke Yiqing and Prince Dule.

"Mrs. Ke has a great sense of justice and should indeed buy some New Year's goods for the refugees outside the city to show the benevolence of the Holy One."

Chu Yun's face darkened, and the emperor smiled.

Why not spend other people's money to achieve your own reputation?

In the end, Chu Yun still had to spend [-] silver to provide disaster relief to Ke Yiqing, and [-] silver to Prince Dule, in the name of soothing his injured soul.

The queen reminded: "Then what should I do with this servant?"

With so many people benefiting, she couldn't get nothing. Liyue was following Chu Yun, and she could be considered a half-strategist. If she could fall into her hands, she might be able to dig out Chu Yun's secrets. come out.

Concubine De's face was full of worry: "This servant is always fond of gossiping. It would be bad if the eleventh prince is taken care of by her."

The Queen Mother also nodded thoughtfully. This Liyue was not in the right mind and was indeed not suitable to take care of the prince.

"But it is not good to see blood at the end of the year. This servant has committed such a big crime. It is really difficult to escape the death penalty."

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"Not even ten days later, she came to scold Twenty, forbidding her to take care of the Eleventh Prince anymore. She was thrown into Huanyifang, and she was not allowed to enter the harem again!"

Concubine De stopped talking, and Ke Yiqing was also secretly frightened. Isn't this kind of treatment just a slow killing?

"Ke Yiqing, are you satisfied with this handling?" The Queen Mother looked kind, but she could hear the threat.

"My wife is satisfied."

"Let's do this over there."

Yan Ming wanted to say more, but the Queen Mother had already stood up and did not want to listen to him.

Prince Durer was reluctantly satisfied. Anyway, he could bring back [-] yuan, right?

The New Year's Eve banquet ended in such a farce, and when she was about to go back, someone stopped her in front of her.

"Yiqing..."

Ke Yiqing walked away from him without squinting his eyes.
