After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 451: Demoted to the Cold Palace as a Companion

When it comes to curing illnesses and saving lives, Cui of course agreed without hesitation.

As things have developed to this point, many things have become clear.

Now that the facts are before our eyes, all the blame is directed at the newly-appointed Princess Le'an.

Even though she still refused to admit it, the emperor had already made up his mind and she could not make any more excuses.

Even so, after all, she had just been married to the seventh prince of Beidi, so it would not be a good idea to punish her immediately.

The emperor thought about it, and finally just reprimanded a few words, and then withheld the dowry that had been previously agreed upon with the seventh prince.

Seeing that the good things the emperor had just promised had grown wings and flew away, the seventh prince felt heartbroken and painful, but he had to agree with a smile.

Who made him keep saying that he and Xu Letie were in love and that was why he wanted to marry her? It doesn't seem right that he would have objections if the dowry was not given.

At the same time, the Seventh Prince had another condition, which was the matter of Concubine Hui.

"My sister is new here. She probably just drank too much and went to the wrong room. She didn't do it on purpose. Your Majesty, please show some mercy and spare her life."

No matter what the reason was, the fact is that Concubine Hui had an affair with someone.

The Seventh Prince also felt that it was useless to say more and he just hoped to save her life.

As long as people are alive, there is hope. But who can predict what will happen in the future?

"Seventh Prince, you don't need to worry about Concubine Hui's affairs. I will naturally treat her well."

The emperor lowered his eyelids and said nothing more.

The seventh prince sighed and didn't say much.

Next, the emperor announced his order in front of everyone.

After drinking, Concubine Hui lost her composure and was stripped of her title of empress, demoted to a beauty, and imprisoned in the cold palace.

The second prince, Qi Siyu, was imprisoned in the prince's mansion forever because of his rude words and deeds and his disrespect for his elders. He was not allowed to go out without being summoned.

At least they were able to save their lives. Both the Second Prince's faction and the Northern Di people had no objections.

The crying Concubine Xian was also implicated for her poor parenting and was eventually stripped of her title and banished to the cold palace to accompany Concubine Hui.

Now that things have come to this, today's matter has come to an end.

The emperor ordered all irrelevant people to be escorted out of the palace, and ordered all people in Beidi, including Princess Le'an and her family, to leave the capital within three days.

After getting the emperor's permission, Cui was invited by the eldest princess to go to her own courtyard, and Yuxiu followed her out of concern.

Because there were so many people in the palace, the mother and daughter couldn't say much and remained silent all the way.

The eldest princess's child, Ru'er, was a lovely little girl. The emperor had long wanted to give her the title of a princess, but the eldest princess politely declined.

She said that Ru'er's health had always been very poor, and there has always been a saying among the people that giving a girl a humble name will make it easier to raise her.

Although she did not give her a vulgar name, she was afraid that the title of princess was too noble and would suppress Ru'er's fate.

After Cui arrived, she didn't say much nonsense and directly examined Ru'er. She found that there was another very important reason why she was often sick, which was that she was over-supplemented and was the type of person who could not be nourished.

After hearing this, the eldest princess suddenly understood.

She felt very upset when she thought about how she had given her daughter all kinds of good things in the past few years.

Because she was mistreated in the Hu family before, Ru'er has been weak and sickly since she was a child.

After being brought back to the palace, not only did the emperor reward him with many good things, but even other masters in the palace also had people send him supplements of varying degrees.

Things like bird's nest and ginseng, although Ru'er doesn't eat them as meals, are something she will never lack for every day.

Many times the child simply couldn't eat, but the eldest princess felt sorry for her and tried to persuade and coax her into eating.

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. The eldest princess could no longer control her tears and cried breathlessly while holding Ru'er.

Ru'er has been feeling much more energetic after taking the pills Yuxiu gave her today. Seeing her mother sad, she couldn't help crying too.

So when the emperor brought Concubine Jing and Qi Siyuan over, they could hear crying in the house from far away and thought something big had happened.

However, after hearing about Ru'er's situation, he felt very regretful.

I thought the child was just in poor health and prone to illness, but I didn't expect it was caused by the excessive care and concern of the elders.

Cui said that you just need to take good care of your spleen and stomach, and there won't be any major problems later.

However, you should never eat those nutritious foods again.

The eldest princess nodded repeatedly, promising to eat simple meals in the future and try to make Ru'er get better soon.

Cui was a little amused and helpless. After thinking about it, she said that she would think of some dietary therapy prescriptions when she returned home, and asked the eldest princess to send someone to the pharmacy to get them the next day.

As for decoctions and other medicines, she did not prescribe any more.

Ru'er has already taken the pills Yuxiu gave her. They are made with spiritual spring water and her health will improve greatly.

The palace is so complicated, who knows if anyone will take the opportunity to do something inside? She doesn't want to gamble with her family's lives.

After a whole day of hard work, it was already very late when the mother and daughter came out of the palace.

As soon as the carriage left the palace gate, Yuxiu heard a familiar voice asking outside, and when she looked, she saw it was indeed her father Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe stood beside the carriage, and there was another person next to him, who was King Ning Xu Jinren.

Because the carriage from Prince Ning's mansion came to pick her up, Cui gave a purse to the palace maid who came out to see her off, and asked her to tell Concubine Jing when she returned.

Seeing the few people coming back, Princess Ning quickly ordered the servants to serve the meal.

In a short while, two tables of delicious food were set up in the cafeteria.

"Everyone must be hungry, let's eat first, and then we can talk about other things."

As the old princess spoke, she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and gave it to Yuxiu, telling her to eat quickly.

This has been a habit maintained in Prince Ning's Mansion for many years. After every palace banquet, no one is full, and after returning, they ask the small kitchen for more food.

In this case, it would be better for us to sit together and have a good meal.

"Were you scared today? Eat something good to calm your nerves."

Princess Ning picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for Yuxiu, and soon filled the small bowl in front of Yuxiu.

"Thank you for your concern, elders. I'm fine."

Yuxiu felt a little embarrassed, and Cui smiled and picked up some food for the old princess, jokingly saying:

"Don't worry, this girl is very smart."

is not that right?

If her daughter was stupid, how could she be accepted as a disciple by the old immortal?

Thinking that Yuxiu was indeed cunning, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
