"Fifteen hundred less." The peddler had already packed his things and was looking around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him. He picked up the flowers and was about to leave.

"You want it?" Xuanyuan Zhi suddenly appeared behind Chu Qingyao.

Seeing him come, Chu Qingyao immediately pointed at the herbs in the vendor's hand, "I want to buy it, but he's asking a sky-high price."

Xuanyuan Zhi looked at the packman, "How much did you pay?"

"One thousand taels."

Xuanyuan Zhi's face turned cold. Just this unknown thing, was worth a thousand silver? This woman was such a wastrel. His voice was cold as he said, "You're not selling this for a thousand taels?"

The peddler obediently handed the herb over. "I'll just sell it."

Chu Qingyao held up the flowers and herbs as she followed Xuanyuan Zhi. As soon as she saw the medicinal herbs that she liked, she bought them and handed them over to Xuanyuan Zhi, "Your Highness, help me take them."

With a straight face, Xuanyuan Zhileng obediently became her follower.

Ghost Doctor Cang You and the Godly Doctor Bai Jin had a huge battle, but they couldn't even determine the victor of it. When he arrived, he did not find anyone. He could not help but get angry, swearing to find the hawker from before.

After walking for a while, Bai Jin saw the medicinal herb in Chu Qingyao's hands. Just as he was about to run over, his eyes froze. If one looked carefully, they would already recognize Xuanyuan Zhi.

She turned around to block Cang You, and laughed, "Ghost Doctor's title of 'Cang You' is only so-so. I was just playing a little trick on her, changing the flowers, and she ended up in my hands."

As soon as Cang You heard this, he was instantly enraged.

"Bai Jin, you are so despicable."

Bai Jin smiled, "We only rely on our own abilities, how can we talk about despicable? I paid for it, the peddlers were willing to sell it, we traded it equally, and there was no such thing as despicable. "

Cang You gritted his teeth as he stared at Bai Jin, then suddenly reached out towards her face. Bai Jin was already prepared for this.

"Bai Jin, today I shall let you have a taste of my Ghost Doctor's true abilities." He came face to face with a black medicinal powder covering his head.

"An insignificant skill." Bai Jin was not vague either, at the same time, he took out a handful of colored light pink medicinal noodles, and easily dispelled the Ghost Doctor's poison technique.

Chu Qingyao was buying and buying here, while Xuanyuan Zhi's face darkened even more. In the end, he angrily said, "The sky is already dark, you want to live on the black market?" If he had not reminded her, Chu Qingyao would not have discovered it was dark.

When the two came out of the inn, Qi Sha was stunned for a moment, the Princess had a smile on her face, but on the other hand, the Prince was covered in cold air, with big and small bags on his hands. What did he buy?

"Are you waiting to see This King make a joke?" Xuanyuan Zhi's voice carried a ghastly fury. Only now did Chu Qingyao finally understand that the Prince was angry.

"Your highness, you've worked hard." She quickly fawned over them and helped unload the large and small bags, then quickly changed them into flowers and herbs for Qi Sha. A carrier pigeon suddenly flew over from the sky. Xuanyuan Zhi reached out and grabbed it, pulling out a slip of paper from the pigeon's body.

So angry? Just as Chu Qing was considering apologizing, he leapt into the air and was carried onto the back of the horse, tightly imprisoned in his embrace.

The night wind blew past her ears, causing her to be unable to open her eyes. Her body hurt so much from being strangled by him that she couldn't even move if she wanted to. Knowing that his rage had yet to subside, he could only endure it.

He couldn't help but curse silently in his heart. Isn't it just helping me to propose something? Was there really a need to do so?

Outside the Prince Zhi's Mansion, he placed Chu Qingyao under a horse, "This king still has things to do."

"Then I'll go in myself." Chu Qingyao walked dejectedly towards the mansion. She had gone out together in the morning, but had come back alone. She felt very upset.

She suddenly laughed. She was originally alone, so what else could she be hoping for? She had never thought that Xuanyuan Zhi would have a day that would belong to her.

But, Xuanyuan Zhi, I feel like I like you a little now, what should I do?

Just as she returned back to the Blue Luan Courtyard, Qi Sha sent her the things she bought at the black market. She couldn't help but ask, "Where is the Prince?"

Qi Sha was startled, "This subordinate does not know."

She studied changing the flowers for a while, but still couldn't figure out what was so magical about it. After strolling in the black market for the entire day, he was tired and went to sleep early.

At noon on the second day, news came from the palace that Xuanyuan Xiao had already bestowed the Imperial Consort Bai the title of Empress. Chu Qingyao felt a headache coming on. Because of Xuanyuan Zhi, the enmity between her and the Imperial Consort Bai had already been formed, and now that she was the leader, she would be in big trouble in the future.

In the palace.

After Chu Yuer was conferred the title of Jade Concubine, he cried for a few days, and today, he finally got over it. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, the moment he thought about leaving, the empress ordered someone to send word for her to come to Qianning Palace to listen to his teachings.

She was stunned. She had just been called the Jade Concubine and hadn't even stepped out of the door. When had she been provoked?

"Joy, the empress isn't trapped in the cold palace. How can she summon me?" she asked her palace maid.

"In reply to Imperial Concubine Yu, this morning, Imperial Consort Bai was conferred the title of the Lord of the Six Palaces by the Emperor." Pleasure answered quickly.

Chu Yuer shuddered. Such a big thing, no one actually informed her! She resentfully looked at Pleasure. She took out a jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to him. "Pleasure, I've just entered the harem. I still need you to mention more. I'm better, you're better."

Joy was shocked and quickly kneeled down. "Empress, please forgive us. Joy is just that the Empress is too sad and dares not disturb me."

A stubborn mouth!

These days, Chu Yuer's life had undergone a tremendous change. At this moment, there was only coldness and ruthlessness in her heart.

She hated Chu Qingyao. She had stolen her dowry and was living a better life than her.

She hated her mother and had never thought about her, causing phase of Chu to miss the best opportunity to save her.

She hated the crown prince. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that the events of that night were definitely the work of the crown prince. The person she had fallen in love with was the one who had let her go so easily. From today onwards, she would no longer trust anyone.

She hated the Emperor for taking her body and blaming her for it. Thinking of this, her heart began to drip with blood. He could even be her father at his age!

Since the empress had summoned them, she dared not refuse. She ordered four of the emperor's prizes to be picked out and sent to congratulate the empress. When she reached Qianning Palace and saw a whole room filled with people, most likely all the women in the harem had already arrived.

He hurried forward a few steps and knelt down respectfully. "Chenqie congratulates the empress on commanding the six palaces. The empress is thousands and thousands of years old."

Bai Rouzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, the smile on his face did not change, "I wonder who it is, isn't this our Emperor's most beloved concubine?"

The word "favorite" from Bai Rouzhi's mouth, was an enormous mockery. Bitterness surged from Chu Yuer's heart as he said in a low voice, "The Empress must be joking. Chenqie absolutely does not dare to fight with the other sisters for the favor. In the future, I will have to rely on the Empress's support."

The moment Bai Rouzhi saw Chu Yuer, Chu Qingyao's face flashed across his eyes. "I remember that Jade Concubine promised someone else earlier. I don't know what kind of seductive methods you used to get the emperor's favor, and you even got promoted to the position of consort as soon as you entered the palace?"

How could Chu Yuer not hear the mockery in her words, but she had already fallen to such a state, what could she do? The bone chilling hatred in her heart was trying to drive her crazy. She tried to lower herself as much as possible and knelt down humbly in the middle of the crowd. She only hoped that Bai Rouzhi would let her go.

Bai Rouzhi's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the crowd. Some of them had already been in the palace for many years, but they had not been able to endure until they took the position of imperial concubine. Seeing that the empress clearly didn't like Chu Yuer, they no longer had any scruples, and all wanted to kill her.

Chu Yuer's face was flushed red, but she was unable to refute. She was the crown prince's woman, but now that she was in her father-in-law's bed, no matter how unpleasant the words were, she had to listen.

Two hours later, the empress still had no intention of letting her get up, and the girls were happy to watch a good show. Her body was on the verge of collapse and she could no longer hold on.

Footsteps came from outside the hall. Chu Yuer raised his head and saw Crown Prince Xuanyuan Rui coming in. His gaze swept across Chu Yuer, and quickly dodged.

"This son greets the empress and congratulates the empress on her happiness in the palace." Bai Rouzhi squinted his eyes and revealed a smile, "Crown Prince, thank you."

Now that her mother was still receiving her punishment in the cold palace, where did he get the kindness to congratulate her? I'm afraid it's for Chu Yuer's sake!

Sure enough, Xuanyuan Rui opened his mouth, "Today is the Empress's wedding day, it's better if you don't get angry for people you don't know." With just a word from the crown prince, he had sent Chu Yuer straight to hell.

She felt the malice of the world.

Xuanyuan Rui, how can you let me down?

Bai Rouzhi saw that Chu Yuer had kneeled for long enough, so he said, "Jade Concubine, since the crown prince is pleading for mercy on your behalf, I will let you off this time, you should get up first!"

"She is already so shameless to climb onto the emperor's bed. Why is the crown prince still so good to her?"

"The crown prince is so pitiful."

Chu Yuer was about to die from the ridicule, but she had to endure it. "Empress, chenqie is in the wrong and deserves to be punished." It wasn't that she didn't want to get up, but she knew that she couldn't afford to be involved with the crown prince.

A flash of pain passed through Xuanyuan Rui's eyes as he powerlessly left the Qianning Palace.

The emperor had long heard that Yu Fei had angered the empress, and because Chu Yuer had caused him to lose all face, it would be hard for him to take care of her. At this moment, the Empress was acting on his behalf, just as he had intended. He never thought that at noon, when he heard that Chu Yuer was still kneeling, he could only personally come to Qianning Palace. He was afraid that Chu Yuer would kneel down and cripple his legs, so he was afraid that phase of Chu would not be able to explain.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Imperial Majesty." Bai Rouzhi was eating some fruits and when she saw Xuanyuan Xiao, she quickly got up to welcome him.

Everyone knelt down as well. "Chenqie greets Your Majesty."

The moment Xuanyuan Xiao entered, she remembered the time when he was angry at her on the dragon bed. Those violent eyes made her tremble with fear, and she almost died.

She felt an unbearable pain in her chest. Her vision went dark and she fell to the ground.

"Nonsense." When Xuanyuan Xiao saw that Chu Yuer had fainted, he shouted loudly, "Hurry and call the imperial physician."

"As an empress, you have to be magnanimous even if you teach the imperial concubine of the imperial harem a lesson. Today is a day of great joy for you to rise to the rank of empress. Don't you want to take some good fortune?" He bent down to pick Chu Yuer up and placed her on the soft couch beside him.

He had already ordered people to investigate how Chu Yuer slept on his bed, but they were all pointing towards the Imperial Consort Bai. However, logically speaking, there was no reason for the Imperial Consort Bai to do so.

Seeing that everyone was still kneeling, he waved his hand, "Go and disperse! I have something to say to the empress. "

Once everyone had left, Bai Rouzhi kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, chenqie was just joking with little sister Yu. I didn't expect her body to be so weak.

Xuanyuan Xiao looked at him coldly, "We entrusting the harem to you is due to our trust in you. Although Chu Yuer is not good, phase of Chu is at my beck and call, so naturally, we have to be kind to her daughter."

"Chenqie knows her wrongs. Please punish her, Your Majesty." Bai Rouzhi's heart was filled with sorrow.

Seeing her sad expression, how could Xuanyuan Xiao still blame her? He reached out and pulled her into his embrace, "My beloved concubine, I know that you are angry at her sister. Don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of Chu Qingyao."

After the imperial physician came, he said that Chu Yuer's body was weak, and adding that she had to kneel for a long time with an unstable bloodline, Xuanyuan Xiao ordered someone to send her back. When she woke up, he gave her something to calm her down.

Chu Qingyao didn't even know what was going on in the palace. Even if she did, she wouldn't put much thought into it.

"Princess, this Tenth Princess wishes to see you."
