Chapter 337: Cut off her financial resources and fight openly
The decree that the Queen received to confer the title of Yuepin was just an oral order sent to the world.
"Empress, the Emperor wants to keep the ceremony of enthroning Concubine Yue simple. There is no need to make a big fuss about it. All the six palaces need to know is ok."
"I understand." The queen responded calmly.
After Chao Sihai retreated, the nanny immediately came before the queen.
"Your Majesty, is the Emperor really bewitched by this lowly dancer? Even when Concubine Luo entered the palace, the Emperor never favored her like this. It's only been a few days since she was canonized as a concubine. Her promotion is too fast. There is no such rule in the palace."
"Rules? What are rules? Rules are not for people who can make them to follow."
The fact that Concubine Luo was favored was a prelude to the reuse of the Luo family.
This dancer has no benefits and is just a plaything. The emperor favors her simply for the sake of pleasure.
It is her ability that makes the emperor happy, so it would be no harm to reward him with some status and treasures.
Although she was directly conferred the title of concubine, there was no conferring ceremony, which shows that the emperor was very clear about it in his mind.
Back then, when Imperial Concubine Luo entered the palace, the Third Prince was still so young, but the Empress did not show the slightest fear, not to mention that now, the Third Prince is so old and can completely stand on his own.
The queen would not take this lowly dancer seriously at all.
What the Queen is worried about is the situation at the Prince's Mansion.
It was obvious that the Queen Mother and the Princess wanted to take action against Ji Chuhe. At the very least, they wanted to remove Ji Chuhe from the position of the Crown Prince's Wife. If they were more vicious, Ji Chuhe would not have a good ending.
With Ji Chuhe's intelligence, he must have guessed it.
It all depends on how Ji Chuhe responds.
……
Ji Chuhe had known about the eldest princess' situation in his previous life.
The reason why the eldest princess could live a lavish life in the imperial capital was all because she opened several Jishidiang clinics. Other clinics had to close down under the pressure of Jishidiang.
Looking around the imperial capital, there are very few mansions that can hire a palace physician.
Therefore, most people have to go to the clinic for treatment when they are sick.
Jishidiang, however, is not a place for helping the world at all.
A hefty consultation fee is required, and the price of medicinal materials is several times higher.
Even if I have to go bankrupt just once, I will accept it. After all, in the face of illness, money is not that important.
Nothing is more important than life.
Ji Chuhe's first step was to cut off the eldest princess's financial resources.
Huaiyang.
All the hidden dangers in Huaiyang have been eliminated, and Concubine Xu is now completely under the control of the princess.
The happiest thing for the princess was to receive letters from home sent from the imperial capital.
She had buried Xu Yan'er with great ceremony as He'er had said.
Although she didn't like Xu Yan'er, she felt bad that she had returned from a tragic death after a trip to the imperial capital. When she thought of He'er's difficulties in the imperial capital, she became even more anxious.
Dong Ling gave birth to a son, and He'er wanted to register the child under her own name. These were all small matters, and as long as He'er was willing, they had no objection to any arrangement.
He'er also opened a spice shop, which had a good business and was enough to support the entire Prince's household. He also told her not to send money to the imperial capital, as they could support themselves.
She read these letters over and over again. There was not a single word in the letters mentioning He'er's difficulties in the imperial capital. This child was so sensible, it made people feel distressed.
"Princess, a letter from the Crown Prince's wife!" The maid ran all the way and delivered the newly received letter to the princess.
This time the letter was different from the previous ones and was very thick.
The princess immediately took the letter and opened it.
This was a letter that Ji Chuhe had someone deliver all night long. It only took seven days to get from the imperial capital to Huaiyang.
After a few greetings, the letter went straight to the point.
Ji Chuhe wants to open a clinic in the imperial capital.
Moreover, all the medicinal materials were transported from Huaiyang.
The reason why this letter is so thick is because it lists the required medicinal materials.
Huaiyang is rich in medicinal materials. Although business caravans are also transporting them out, there are still a lot left every year.
The princess could prepare all the things Ji Chuhe wanted for her in less than a day.
Seeing that the princess was frowning and looked like she was worried, Nanny Si became a little worried.
"Princess, did something happen between the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince?"
"It seems that all the clinics in the imperial capital are monopolized by the eldest princess. I wanted to transport medicinal materials from Huaiyang over there but failed. He'er suddenly wants to open a clinic. Isn't this going against the eldest princess? Could it be that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess have made trouble for her? This is her counterattack!" The princess' heart was lifted up.
"Princess, Madam never does anything without assurance, and will definitely not come into direct conflict with the eldest princess."
How could the princess not worry?
Every time, every word in He'er's letter was about plans for the Prince's Mansion, without ever mentioning any difficulties.
How could she not guess the hardships involved even if He'er didn't tell her?
He'er's current situation is ten or even a hundred times more difficult than her situation back then!
Being held hostage in the imperial capital, An'er is relatively safe. After all, he is the crown prince, and the emperor will not take his life now.
But what about He'er? She can only be slaughtered by others!
All the princess can do now is to fully meet the requirements in Ji Chuhe's letter.
Then, he secretly comforted himself that the situation in the court would soon change.
After the Duke's Mansion gradually gains some power, they will no longer be so passive!
……
Ji Chuhe waited patiently for the arrival of the medicinal materials.
The spice shop is operating normally and the income is very stable.
The situation on Liao Yunfei's side is also in plan.
The court doctor was applying medicine to Liao Yunfei's wound, and Xiao Yan'an was also there.
"House doctor, is the concubine's injury not serious?" Xiao Yan'an asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The wound has scabbed over. Apart from leaving a scar, there will be no more danger. Madam can get out of bed and move around."
Liao Yunfei suffered two of the most serious injuries.
One was on the arm, leaving a deep tooth mark.
Another piece of flesh was torn off on the shoulder near the neck.
The court physician packed up his things and left, leaving Xiao Yanan and Liao Yunfei alone in the room.
Although Xiao Yanan was here these days, Liao Yunfei had not been able to have a good talk with him.
Now is a good opportunity.
"Prince, thank you for taking care of me these days." Liao Yunfei thanked him softly.
"Liao Yunfei, I have a question for you."
"what is the problem."
"Aren't you at the banquet hall? Why are you suddenly at the hunting ground?"
"That day, a palace maid spilled wine on me, and the princess's people took me to change my clothes. On the way back, I got lost and somehow ended up at the hunting grounds. Then, when I saw the prince rushing to the hunting grounds, I couldn't help but follow him."
