I drank the medicine and lazily leaned on the embroidered couch, watching the sycamore leaves fall and the wild geese fly south outside the window.

When I received the order that day, I had been ill for more than half a year, and the medicine juice I drank could fill the lotus pond in the garden, but my body still hasn't improved.

My father and elder brother invited several famous doctors to treat me. The empress dowager in the palace heard about it, and specially pointed out an imperial doctor who would stay in my Ye family to treat me.

But all the doctors said, I have a heart disease. As the saying goes, "heart disease needs heart medicine." The doctors prescribed me some nourishing and recuperating prescriptions. At the end, I had to say, "Don't think too much."

Alas, "too much thinking". In the past six months, I just don't understand. A lady who is willing to marry into the royal family is like a crucian carp in the river. There is no shortage of me, Ye Rong. Why is it me, Ye Rong?

The autumn wind rolled up layers of yellow leaves, like fluttering butterflies, and I sighed softly: "Oh, the deal is done, no matter how rich Xue Mi is, in this life, I must marry him..."

If there were no later events, I would be an ordinary lady waiting to be married. I would choose an auspicious day to marry Xue Piao, and be an idle prince's concubine. live a lifetime.

However, it is in line with the old saying - "Man is not as good as God".

The thick fur curtain was raised, and a gust of cold wind rushed into the embroidery room, and I couldn't help but shiver.

Qingqing's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were tear-stained, and she knelt down at my feet, "Miss."

I was very surprised: "Qingqing?"

That year, when she fought with Wang Xiaoer in the kitchen, she got half of her hair ripped off, and she didn't even cry out. What happened this time... Hmph, who dared to bully Ye Rong's people?See if I don't peel off a layer of his skin!

Qingqing said with tears in her voice: "Miss, the First Prince has gone down."

The eldest prince Xue Zhan, the pre-appointed prince, passed away on the third day of October.

The bone-piercing cold suddenly entered the heart, the first prince passed away, leaving behind the unfulfilled fetus in the belly of the first princess, if the first princess gave birth to a small princess, the third prince Xue Piao... Xue Piao is the sole heir to the throne, The future emperor, then I...

If I entered the harem, wouldn't I have slapped Emperor Ren on the mouth?

The royal family valued face the most, and in order to keep it, they would kill and exterminate the entire family and do anything.What's more, my Ye family's meritorious service and reputation are prominent, maybe the emperor will use this excuse to accuse my Ye family of some crimes, and my Ye family will never recover.

After careful consideration, there are only two ways left for my Ye family:

One is that Dad took the initiative to withdraw the marriage.But in this way, the face of the royal family was saved, but my Ye family was charged with the crime of disrespecting the imperial edict. Even though the sage cared about his father's kindness, but among the courtiers, there were some shameless people who disliked my Ye family People, if you take advantage of this situation to make trouble, my Ye family will also be punished a lot. There are more than one hundred people in my Ye family, this risk is absolutely unacceptable;

The second is that I, Ye Rong, are no longer fit to be a prince or concubine.The reasons can only be found from the seven items. I am not yet married to Xue Piao, so the four items of "disobedience to parents", "no children", "jealousy" and "talking too much" are out of the question. "Theft" will ruin the face of the royal family and the Ye family, but there is only one left - "has a serious illness", which can be made into a fuss.

If Ye Rong, the daughter of the Zhongyong family, got terminally ill and died soon, or worse, Ye Rong died before getting married, the plight of the royal family and the Ye family would be easily resolved.

But there is one thing I know very well, in this life, if I, Ye Rongru, cannot marry Xue Piao, I will become an abandoned wife of the royal family, and I will never marry anyone else again.

An unbearable bitterness in my chest suddenly hit my throat, and with a wow, I spit out all the medicine I just drank...

On October [-]th, less than half a month after the eldest prince passed away, the eldest prince concubine gave birth to a little grandson who was less than a month old.

In the middle of the capital, the coffin of the eldest prince Xue Zhan has not yet been put in place, and the matter of setting up an heir is making waves again.

Among the courtiers, the majority group headed by Elder Cui Ge believed that the third prince, Xue Piao, was too unworthy to be the heir to the throne. Now that the emperor is in his prime, he should take good care of the young grandson who was just born, and consider him a candidate for the crown prince; , the emperor and the empress have always loved the third prince, and they all have ambiguous attitudes about the establishment of an heir. The prince Xue Piao is the prince.

As for Xue Piao, another big event happened.
