Chu Yunxia was unaware that Consort Shu intended to suppress her, but Chu Yunxia still harbored murderous intent towards Consort Shu.

Chu Yunxia could see that Consort Shu looked down on her. Consort Shu pretended to be kind to her, but only wanted to take advantage of her abilities. Consort Shu despised her and thought that Chu Yunxia was not good enough for her son.

Chu Yunxia also knew that Consort Shu was selecting a candidate for Nangong Liu's principal wife.

If it weren't for the fact that Consort Shu was still useful, Chu Yunxia would have bought another pill and given it to her.

The next day, everything was fine, except that everyone found out that a royal physician had been summoned to the Crown Prince's palace.

This was quite common, after all, the Crown Prince had been ill for a long time, and it was very common for the imperial physicians to visit the Crown Prince's palace every few days.

The concubines were troubled about how to make a move against the Crown Princess.

After the Crown Princess dealt with the person who had overheard her, she became even more vigilant around herself.

No one who is not a confidant of the Crown Princess should get close to her.

The Crown Princess's food and supplies were thoroughly inspected by her trusted confidants before being delivered to her.

Sigh, how can I get rid of the Crown Princess, such a formidable enemy?

Two weeks later, everyone no longer had to worry.

Because the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are both very ill and about to die.

The concubines were so excited, guessing who had made the move while they went to "visit" the Crown Princess.

As it turned out, they discovered that the Crown Princess was genuinely ill, not poisoned—how could a systemic poison be so easily detected?

The concubines felt that this was Heaven's way of taking back the reborn one.

Everyone only has one lifetime, so why should you have an extra lifetime?
Well, now that's good. Heaven has opened its eyes and taken back this extra lifetime.

The concubines and princes clapped and celebrated, but one person was frightened.

It was none other than Li Mingfang.

The reborn Crown Princess is dead?

What about her?
Has God discovered that she was also reborn? Will He take away her lifespan?

Li Mingfang was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night, which resulted in a decline in her physical condition. She accidentally caught a cold and fell ill.

Li Mingfang was even more frightened, thinking that God had discovered she was reborn and had come to take her away.

This mindset made her medication ineffective, and her illness worsened.

Less than two months later, Li Mingfang also passed away.

Nangong Shan: "..."

Holy crap! He hasn't even married Li Mingfang yet!
He has not yet become the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's household, nor has he brought the Marquis of Zhenyuan to his side.

What to do now?
The Li family does indeed have other daughters, but those who are the same age as him are only illegitimate daughters, and they are all engaged.

The other daughters were either married or too young.

Nangong Shan gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to sacrifice himself in order to bring Zhenyuan Hou under his command.

So, during a flower-viewing party, Nangong Shan fell into a trap and ended up with Li Mingya, the fourth young lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion, who was also being schemed against by another young lady.

Many people saw the two together. Although Nangong Shan was a prince, he could not disrespect the Zhenyuan Marquis's family and had to give them an explanation.

Not long after, Li Mingya entered the Third Prince's residence and became Nangong Shan's concubine.

To appease her fiancé, the Li family arranged for a girl from a collateral branch of the family to be recognized as a daughter of the Marquis's household and married to Li Mingya's fiancé.

It all looks like a happy ending for everyone.

However, Marquis Zhenyuan secretly gritted his teeth.

Before Li Mingya entered the Third Prince's residence, Marquis Zhenyuan discovered a notebook that Li Mingfang had hidden.

Having experienced so much in her past life, Li Mingfang was afraid she would forget, so she wrote it down with pen and paper. However, only she knew about this record; she hid it away, not even from her trusted maid or her own mother, the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion.

It was Li Mingfang's wet nurse who, while sorting through Li Mingfang's belongings and trying to keep them as a memento, discovered the booklet in a hidden compartment beneath Li Mingfang's dressing box.

Li Mingfang's wet nurse was illiterate, but she knew that if Li Mingfang could hide it so well, it must be something very important.

Li Mingfang's wet nurse then handed the booklet to the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Fortunately, the wet nurse was illiterate, which saved her life.

The booklet did not record Li Mingfang's rebirth, but it did record how the Zhenyuan Marquis's family was raided and exterminated by Nangong Shan in her previous life.

Marquis Zhenyuan thought Li Mingfang was just making things up. How could Li Mingfang know about the future?

But a few days later, when he discovered that one of the things mentioned in the booklet had actually happened, the Marquis of Zhenyuan was no longer calm.

Are the things in that booklet really going to happen in the future?
Was it because my daughter glimpsed a secret of heaven that God took her life?
Knowing that Nangong Shan would discard him after he had served his purpose, why would Marquis Zhenyuan still pledge allegiance to Nangong Shan?

But he has already betrayed Nangong Er, and it's impossible for him to go back to her now.

Thus, Marquis Zhenyuan secretly began to collude with Nangong Qi.

He also abandoned Li Mingya, sending her to the Third Prince's residence to lull Nangong Shan into a false sense of security.

Marquis Zhenyuan was unaware that Chu Yunxia had already informed Nangong Liu of his series of actions.

Chu Yunxia's Yunxia Pavilion is ostensibly a brothel, but in reality, it is an intelligence relay station.

Chu Yunxia trained many spies, who entered the homes of many ministers through human traffickers.

Yun Zhongchun kept a close eye on Chu Yunxia. Chu Yunxia knew about the news from the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence, which meant that Yun Zhongchun also knew about it.

I never imagined that there was more than one reborn person in this world.

Both Nangong Liu and Nangong Shi wanted the booklet that recorded future events.

The two sent their men to steal the booklet.

As a result, the two sides clashed and started fighting, which alarmed the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

After discovering that the two groups were likely after the booklet, Marquis Zhenyuan considered it a source of trouble and burned it.

With no other option, both sides had to retreat.

Marquis Zhenyuan was still shaken.

He didn't know which prince each of the two sides came from, but it seemed that more than one person knew about his daughter's rebirth.

I'm afraid their entire manor will be in danger.

Marquis Zhenyuan feigned illness, then relinquished his military power and quickly left the capital with his family, fleeing back to his hometown.

As for military power, it belongs to the emperor. You princes can ask the emperor for it.

His move caught the princes off guard, and after they realized what was happening, they began to fight over the military power.

Although the emperor was somewhat foolish, he wasn't completely stupid; he understood that it was more important for him to control the military.

Therefore, the emperor firmly held this part of military power and did not distribute it to anyone else.

The princes were filled with regret and decided to postpone their planned actions.

They contacted their respective mothers, urging them to expedite the process.

As a result, the emperor began to receive the effusive attention of the empresses.

The number of "tonifying soups" sent to the emperor every day was countless. The emperor drank so much that his face turned pale, and in the end, he gave all the tonic soups to the palace servants around him.

The concubines smiled upon hearing the emperor's gesture. The "tonifying soup" they had sent was truly nourishing, without any unnecessary additives! (End of Chapter)
