Chapter 49 Deng Zongqi
The imperial edict, which aimed to order Empress Qian to suicide, had accused her of murdering an imperial concubine. The victim was a young and beautiful royal mistress who had just entered the palace less than half a year ago.
The victim was just a royal mistress, but the Empress had murdered her at the cost of her life. What's more, the royal mistress was born in an ordinary family, so even the ministers thought that the Emperor shouldn't order the Empress to suicide for such a common woman. But perhaps His Majesty doted on the royal mistress very much, so he insisted on ordering the Empress to suicide.
What's more, the Crown Prince was implicated. The Emperor regarded him as "the son of a bitch" and "an extremely unfilial son". Like his lineal eldest brother, his title of the Crown Prince was deposed, and he was shut down in a desolate courtyard.
This Crown Prince didn't commit suicide, but he died because of melancholy some years later. He

The Crowned Lady Chapter 50 Turning to the Wei Family
After Wei Changying and Song Zaishui sat into the carriage and put down the gauze curtains, Wei Changfeng said to the guard, "Ask that person to talk to me."Since that person wanted to climb the hill and appreciate the stele, he wouldn't refuse Wei Changfeng's invitation.Having seen the person in white coming towards them with the guard, both Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were surprised and said, "What? He's a commoner?" White clothes were not dyed, so they were usually cheap. Therefore, commoners were always in white.The girls knew that the society in this dynasty was so rigidly stratified that people respected the gentry and suppressed the commoners. Although some commoners had become officials in the Royal Court, those positions with most power and status would never belong to them.Also, even if the commoners had their property, they couldn't compare to the gentries. Without a distinguished family background and wealth, how

Even if Wei Huan did not remind them, Old Madam Song and Madam Song would also suspect that Song Zaishui was faking it up. But such a suspicion could neither be supported with any evidence nor be asked directly. This Miss had even done the thing such as self-destructing her appearance. If they actually pushed her too hard, God knows what was going to happen.They held back from taking action for fear of making things worse so that things got stagnated.Madam Song, as Song Zaishui's lineal Granny, was indeed afraid that something bad really happened to her niece. While she was also suspecting that Song Zaishui was just pretending to be sick, she still discussed with Old Madam Song, "If Zaishui is not faking it up, Shall we just let her go back to the capital as soon as possible? So as not to miss the best timing of treatment? It is true that we do not have famous doctors here who are good at treating traumatism."Hearing "miss the best timing of
The Crowned Lady Chapter 52 The Confession
Seeing that Song Zaishui was so anxious that her face turned pale, Wei Changying didn't know what to do and hurriedly asked the guard outside the curtain, "Since Mr. Deng has sent a message for the second cousin, does the second cousin have any good way to solve this problem?"When Song Zaishui heard that, she also stopped crying and listened eagerly.The guard said respectfully, "Mr. Deng said that under this circumstance, Miss must not marry into the royal family. Otherwise, there will be no good results!"Wei Changying said hurriedly, "This is needless to say! Just tell me if the second cousin has any solutions!""Mr. Deng said one solution, but..." the guard said with hesitation.Song Zaishui suddenly lost her temper and heavily slapped the table. She said angrily, "Why are you still so wordy at this moment? Since my second brother has a plan to ask Mr. Deng to bring it to me, why do you hesitate to tell? Even if t
The Crowned Lady Chapter 53 Old Madam Song's Insight
Although Madam Song told her daughter to keep it from Old Madam Song, within a few days, Deng Zongqi's unknown background still came from the capital. Looking at the letter saying that Deng Zongqi was protected a lot by the Honored Consort, Old Madam Song frowned tightly. She raised her head and told Madam Song, "Since Deng Zongqi has ulterior motives, it's necessary to add more staff in his yard."Madam Song nodded, "I will tell the manager in the outer courtyard.""He saved Changying, and it was our family who sent Changfeng to invite him to come home to recuperate. Though we have found that he has ulterior motives, it's not good for Changying’s reputation if we drive him out like this." Old Madam Song thought for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on him. Don't fall into his trap carelessly."Old Madam Song added when Madam Song was about to continue to promise, "Well, keep an eye on Zaishui."Madam Song was nervous and said with a
The Crowned Lady Chapter 54 The Emperor's Envoy Arrived
After seeing Deng Zongqi personally, Madam Song called Song Zaishui and Wei Changying the next day and spoke to them frankly, "This marriage must be stopped. Although the reply from Jiangnan has not arrived yet, I expect that they would feel the same about this. According to Honored Consort Deng, on the birthday of Lady Zhong there would be a bad omen in the palace—Since the Honored Consort's Zhaohua Palace is situated in the south of the Imperial Palace, the Empress and Lady Zhong would have their men do some tricks over it when the time comes."After a pause, Madam Song continued, "The First Prince was impeached because he was exposed by the abolished Empress Qian for using witchcraft to curse His Majesty! Therefore, if His Majesty were to consider the Honored Consort as a bad omen, even if he wouldn’t abrogate her as the Honored Consort, the Deng Family's status would suffer greatly from now on, especially for the life of the only Prince of the Deng Family who could
The Crowned Lady Chapter 55 The Elders
"So is my eldest cousin here too?" Wei Changying knew that Song Zaitian was coming, but she was going to see Shen Zhou today. She was so nervous that she forgot Song Zaitian. At that moment, she was reminded by Old Madam Song. She rolled her eyes and saluted respectfully. "I often heard my mother talking about my uncle and two cousins. But I was too young and forgot. I thought I would see you in the future. Unexpectedly, I have the chance to see you now."Compared with her meeting with Shen Zhou, Wei Changying was closer to Song Zaitian, but she didn't offend Shen Zhou. After all, Wei Changying hadn't got married yet. Even if she was already a member of the Shen Family in name and Shen Zhou just said this, however, a daughter of an eminent family needed to have a reserved manner before getting married, which showed her dignity as the lineal daughter of the Wei Family.What's more, Shen Zhou was an elder, and it was the first time that they had met. With the
The Crowned Lady Chapter 56 A Plan Was Set
Wei Changying felt funny, and she asked, "Has it reached such a point?""In this way, His Majesty would not promote them to leave Fengzhou." Wei Changfeng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Although we still have ways to deal with them, even if they leave Fengzhou, it would be better to keep them in Fengzhou."Although his tone was light, he couldn't cover his worries. Wei Changying turned to him curiously and asked, "What are you worrying about?"Wei Changfeng looked around. Granny Shi immediately told the outsiders to leave. Madam Song also asked with concern, "Changfeng, what's the matter?""Mo Binwei is unwilling to work for us." Wei Changfeng sighed helplessly.Hearing this, Madam Song frowned. Wei Changying asked with surprise, "Why? Is it because of Song Han and Song Duan?" She didn't care about this kind of matters of the front yard. She thought it was settled long ago. According to common sense, Mo Binwei wa
The Crowned Lady Chapter 57 Zhong Jie
Shen Zhou had stayed in Fengzhou for ten days, and now he had to return to the capital. Song Zaitian had come with Shen Zhou, but he was not an envoy. His destination was as same as Shen Zhou's, and he had already asked for a leave, so he needed not to return to the capital with Shen Zhou....Before Shen Zhou left Fengzhou, Deng Zongqi had already set off to Qingzhou as soon as he had recovered a bit, so as to catch up with his companions.Song Zaitian and Song Zaishui stayed in Fengzhou in the name of visiting relatives. They tacitly waited for the Standby Guards to return to the capital. At the beginning of August, Gu Yiran and his companions eventually arrived in Fengzhou. When the servants in the Wei Family passed on the news to the rear hall, Old Madam Song asked, "Did they find Lady Zhong's relatives?""There are two carriages which didn't appear when they set off." the servant said as he put down his hands, "According to the style of the
