Xu Luochen, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Personnel of Dalin State, was a victim of politics. Her aunt was the legitimate daughter of the previous generation of the Xu family and entered the palace as a concubine.
After the queen died, Concubine Xu became the most powerful one in the palace. She controlled the harem and gave birth to a princess who was the same age as Luo Chen.
The emperor had few children, only two princes. The mother of the eldest prince, Zhao Yi, was Concubine Shen. She had a difficult delivery and her body became damaged, so she was bedridden for many years.
The second prince, Zhao Zhao, was born to a palace maid, Li Changzai.
When the eldest prince was eight years old, Concubine Shen could no longer hold on and died. Zhao Yi was then taken by the emperor to the imperial concubine's palace to be raised.
Li Changzai was jealous of the noble status of the eldest prince's biological and adoptive mothers, the powerful strength of his uncle's family, and that they were more favored than his own son, so he secretly sent someone to whisper in the eldest prince's ear.
It was because Concubine Xu herself couldn't give birth to a son and wanted a son, that she secretly asked people from the Imperial Hospital to drug Concubine Shen, causing her to die of exhaustion.
When the eldest prince heard this, he wanted to go to the emperor to complain immediately, but was stopped by his companion, who said that if this was true, the matter should be made public.
Zhao Yi’s life is also in danger. After all, there is no evidence now, and he cannot do anything to Concubine Xu. Don’t forget that there is still a second prince in the palace now that the eldest prince is gone.
Concubine Xu can still raise the second prince. The most urgent task now is to find out the truth of the matter. Once we have evidence and ability, it will not be too late to deal with Concubine Xu.
Zhao Yi endured it, but as he investigated, he found that this matter seemed to be closely related to Concubine Xu.
Now Zhao Yi was even more certain that Concubine Xu was the real murderer who killed his mother.
But the fact is, Concubine Shen really can't hold on for much longer. After Concubine Xu learned about this from the Imperial Hospital, she thought about the fact that she still has no prince.
She had also rejected many palace maids, but none of them got pregnant. She thought it was the emperor's problem, so she set her sights on the only two princes in the palace.
The second prince was stupid and could not even speak clearly at the age of five. She looked down on him, so she set her sights on the eldest prince. After learning that Concubine Shen's body could only last for a year at most.
She hinted to the Imperial Hospital that they didn't need to be too dedicated to the treatment, as she wanted the child to be with her as soon as possible.
In less than three months, Concubine Shen passed away, so the Crown Prince conducted a careful investigation and received an ambiguous response from the Imperial Hospital.
The eldest prince imagined that it was Concubine Xu who sent someone to poison his biological mother to death.
As the two children grew up, the second prince was really stupid, while the eldest prince was favored by the emperor.
The Second Prince, who is already Li Guiren, and his mother should not have any thoughts about it and should just be content to be idle princes.
As the eldest prince grew older, came into contact with more court officials, and gained more power, his regard for Concubine Xu as his adoptive mother was purely out of respect.
After he entered the court, he cared even less and only did superficial work. Naturally, Concubine Xu noticed it and thought to herself that this child could not be tamed.
Therefore, he thought of betrothing his niece Luo Chen to the eldest prince so that at least he would have someone to rely on in the future, and he proposed it to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince felt that Concubine Xu wanted to control his harem again, and he was very annoyed, so he simply refused with a cold face.
Seeing his attitude, Concubine Xu felt that she had to put one of her own by the side of the eldest prince to whisper in his ear and ease the relationship between them.
Therefore, the sixteen-year-old Luo Chen was brought from the Xu family to the palace, saying that she could accompany her aunt. The Xu family was overjoyed.
Luo Chen hadn't realized it yet and thought he was just going to accompany his aunt.
On the third day after entering the palace, Nanny Fang, who was beside Concubine Xu, told Luo Chen that the Concubine had rewarded her with flowers for bathing. Luo Chen, a little girl who loved beauty,
She went there happily. Nanny Fang took her to a room with a particularly large bathing pool. Luo Chen took off her clothes and went in to take a bath.
While they were soaking in the bath, someone suddenly came in from outside. Luo Chen thought it was Nanny Fang who came to deliver something, so he ignored her until Zhao Yi came in.
When he saw a beautiful woman bathing in his bathtub, he thought it was a palace maid who wanted to climb into his bed. He drank too much while watching the beautiful woman bathing.
He went straight in. Luo Chen was so scared that he shouted for help immediately. Zhao Yi thought he was playing hard to get, so he also became interested and defiled Luo Chen on the spot.
At dawn the next day, Concubine Xu arrived with a large group of palace maids, and everyone saw Luo Chen and Zhao Yi sleeping together.
The news immediately spread throughout the entire palace, saying that the eldest prince had been having an affair with the fifth daughter of the Minister of Personnel's house and that she was going to marry the eldest prince's wife.
It was only then that Zhao Yi realized that Concubine Xu had plotted against him. Suddenly, the wonderful memories of last night became disgusting, and Luo Chen was completely confused.
Concubine Xu had Luo Chen taken away, saying that what had happened had already happened and asked Luo Chen to prepare to get married.
When the emperor found out, his face turned unhappy. He called his son and asked him whether he was willing to marry Luo Chen as his principal wife or concubine. After all, this matter was not very pleasant.
Zhao Yi refused on the spot, saying that it was Luo Chen who took off her clothes to seduce him and that it was Luo Chen who drugged her. He was disgusted by such a shameless woman and didn't want her.
Concubine Xu and the Minister of Personnel argued with reason, but the eldest prince was determined not to have the niece of his enemy and even raised the issue with the emperor.
Luo Chen's identity is enough for the emperor to grant her marriage as his principal wife, and he cannot refuse.
But Luo Chen still chose this despicable method that only prostitutes would use, which proves that there is something wrong with the Xu family's upbringing, or there is definitely something wrong with Luo Chen himself.
Otherwise, why would a young lady of noble status offer herself to someone like this?
The emperor was a little puzzled by these words. Yes, how could a rich lady, whose aunt was Concubine Xu, do such a thing?
There was definitely something wrong with that person. Besides, Zhao Zhao was too stupid. At the age of a teenager, he couldn't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone understand their meanings.
Zhao Yi was the only heir, so the emperor was unwilling to let his son marry a disabled woman, and the matter was left unresolved.
Since then, the reputations of all the girls in the Xu family have plummeted because of Luo Chen. They can’t marry into a good family, and Luo Chen is also reviled by others.
Concubine Xu didn't dare let her brother know that she was the one who did it. It would make too big a fuss and affect all the girls in the Xu family.
If people knew that it was her fault, the Xu family might never support her again.
She thought she would be able to get a concubine no matter what, but she didn't expect Zhao Yi to be so tough. This made Concubine Xu realize that something was wrong.
But this matter had to be resolved first. Concubine Xu immediately became angry and asked her brother how he had taught his daughter and how she could do such a thing.
