Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the Third Prince came out, he happened to run into the First Prince and the Fourth Prince.

They paused after bumping into each other, and the First Prince hurriedly asked, “Grandmother, Mother, how is Father?”

“He’s fine. It’s just that he has been tired recently. He’ll be fine after a good rest.” The Empress Dowager hesitated momentarily before adding, “Since you’re here, go in and visit him. However, don’t disturb your father if he’s asleep.”

“Understood, Imperial Grandmother.” The two princes walked into the Emperor’s study with light footsteps after that.

The Empress then said to the Third Prince, “Third Prince, I think you have received the imperial edict. Marrying a consort is a major event in one’s life, so you have to prepare as soon as possible. Later, I will send over Granny Qiao to help you.”

“Isn’t the First Prince also marrying a secondary consort? You still have to manage the palace affairs, so you’ll need the extra help.

“I’ll send over Granny Liu to help the Third Prince,” the Empress Dowager said.

“Many thanks for Mother’s concern. I can rest assured with Granny Liu helping out.” The Empress nodded in agreement.

However, she clenched her fists silently.

“Thank you, Imperial Grandmother.” The Third Prince stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager.

“Alright, let’s go. Come with me. I’ll get Granny Liu to return with you and get you ready in a while.”

“Alright.” The Third Prince nodded and told someone to inform Gu Chengrui to return home before following the Empress Dowager to her Longevity Palace.

“It looks like the Empress Dowager still likes the Third Prince the most.” Consort Shu shook her head and replied with a helpless expression. She then turned around and gradually walked away with the help of her palace maids.

The Empress sneered and ignored her. She waited for the First Prince to come out before leaving with him.

After Gu Chengrui learned that he did not need to see the Emperor, he heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was a little unhappy.

This was just a word from the Emperor, and he had to run all the way here. If he didn’t know that the Emperor was actually sick, he would have thought the Emperor was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his body stiffened. Gu Chengrui hurriedly followed the young eunuch out of the palace after that.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying found Eunuch Li and his group again, noticing they had just left the Sun family.

Initially, she thought that the Sun family would be thrilled to receive the imperial edict. She didn’t expect only Mrs. Sun to smile while Grand Scholar Sun politely sent Eunuch Li out.

As for Sun Miaoke, not only was she not delighted by the announcement, but her face went pale with her eyes staring into the distance. She looked desperate and did not notice that the imperial edict in her hand was about to fall to the ground.

When Mrs. Sun noticed her abnormality, she immediately went forward to take the imperial edict and dragged her daughter to the backyard.

After helping her sit down, Mrs. Sun’s heart tightened when she saw that her daughter looked like a dead person. She raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. “Miaomiao, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.”

After saying that, Mrs. Sun shook Sun Miaoke’s shoulders after noticing she didn’t react.

Only then did Sun Miaoke come back to her senses. She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Sun. However, she did not say a word, and her tears flowed down quickly.

Mrs. Sun panicked, and her expression changed when she thought of something. She softly asked, “Miaoke, you, don’t tell me you have someone you like?”

Sun Miaoke couldn’t hold it in anymore and started crying.

“Don’t cry. Tell me what happened.”

“Mother, I like Cousin Yan.” Sun Miaoke replied with a sob.

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment and asked, “By Cousin Yan, you mean Yan Hengdong?”

Sun Miao nodded with a red face.

Mother Sun sighed after hearing this and replied with grief, “You, what do you want me to say? Why didn’t you say something earlier?

“Now that the imperial edict has been issued, do you want your entire family to be buried with you?”
