Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

The new shop

A week has passed since the incident at the market where the drug store was burned and destroyed by an unknown person claiming to be the envoy of Ho Xin Xin. There was not much Wu Li Mei could do because Ho Xin Xin did not have enough power to release him. From then on Zhou Jiang Wu, a boy not even a year old, was taken care of by the great concubine and became a part of his life. Caring for children became one of the most liked by Wu Li Mei because she liked children.

So did Zhou Jiang Wu who was already very active while being cared for by Wu Li Mei, her weight gained and she started to feel comfortable meeting new people. The great concubine took care of him lovingly, she gave him the most delicious cow's milk and ate alongside him. 

"She's so funny" said the cool Zhou Fang Yin holding Jiang Wu, the little prince who was the most fun part of the week. Every day after he heard Wu Li Mei nurturing Zhou Jiang Wu, the princess came to the grand concubine pavilion just to see him. 

"Yes, he's still very small." 

"Why don't you just be small?" fang Yin asked the older brother who was sleeping in the lotus cottage owned by the mother, in his hand holding a fan that he used to fan the body from the hot air. 

Zhou Ming Hao sneered and then turned back indifferent, "If I am small, you are also small. If we were both small then the imperial throne would not be mine. So how? Who do you want to give up this throne for?" 

"I can." 

The crown prince looked at the younger brother sharply, he rolled his fan and hit Zhou Fang Yin's head softly. "Never, as long as I am alive, will this throne be mine. You're a woman, you should devote yourself to family alone. Marry the crown prince of another land, Xiao Yin, then you will become queen." 

"Marriage is a business later, besides you haven't found a good woman to be the crown princess, have you. Just relax, you get married first, then I'll get married." replied the princess, she kept asking little Jiang Wu to play so as not to get bored and cry, she said, Wu Li Mei was cleaning up and there should be no baby crying in the lotus cottage this morning.  

"If I had found out later, would you like it?" ask the brother. 

"Don't mind me, he's your life partner not my life partner. You just have to marry the one you love." 

"Love huh?" 

The crown prince looked far away, he looked up at the ceiling of the lotus cottage and imagined how love could grow happily and then marry the person he loved. But, Zhou Ming Hao was aware and knew full well how life as the heir to the throne had determined his life, he would definitely marry a woman whom he did not love but was of high rank, he said, instead of marrying someone she loves. 

To become a powerful emperor, he also needed a powerful queen. 

Wu Li Mei came along with Physician Zhong and Commander Hao, they seemed to be discussing something so important together. But they instead walked towards them, after paying their respects, faintly they could hear Wu Li Mei's conversation with those two trusted people. 

"I've found a suitable building, Your Majesty. Was in the market but this time it was much more crowded and close to the guard post of the soldiers." 

The two Wu Li Mei children immediately turned their heads as they could guess the plot of the conversation. 

"Where? Can the Suo brothers also live in it?" 

The commander nodded twice, "Can, Your Majesty, there are some rooms so you don't have to worry that the Suo brothers will have trouble there. Although not a large building, but this time it is much wider than the previous building." 

"What is the distance of the dock with the store too far?"

The doctor shook his head, because the place was not too far away. There are other ways that can be taken to deliver the dried herbal plants to where they should be. "There are pedicures and ordinary people who work in the market will help later, you just calm down there's no need to worry, Your Majesty." 

"When can we see there?" 

"When you can, Your Majesty." 

"I can, just won't be able to go too long. I have a baby that needs to be taken care of." Wu Li Mei gave a code to a young child who was playing with his two teenage children.

Physician Zhong and Commander Hao saw the little boy, "Is he Prince Zhou Jiang Wu?" 

"Yes, I'll take care of her until Consort Ho's case is over. Song Yue Yin was also already overwhelmed by having to take care of her daughter as well. So, Jiang Wu will be with me for some time, so I've prepared myself for him." 

"How's Concubine Ho's case going?" 

Commander Hao shook his head, "There is no settlement because Consort Ho does not have many people who will support him. His mistake was only used to buy time until someone could throw trouble again to him." 

"Is there no clue yet from Yang Zuo? Didn't he do it?" 

"Unfortunately we can't just accuse and should be given strong evidence Your Majesty, I'm also sure if this is any interference from Yang Zuo or even the empress. But we still have to prove it's true or not." 

"How is Yang Jia Li?" wu Li Mei asked idly.

"The empress was good, but she was often sick so she could not go to the monastery. Everyday only stayed leisurely in the pavilion that was reserved specifically for him. The same spies sent to guard Yang Jia Li in fact only reported that. There was nothing there other than the earth and the most magnificent building on the top of the mountain, Heng Shui Monastery. 

"I heard he was sick right after he got there, is that really the commander?" asked Physician Zhong who was also curious about Yang Jia Li. 

If having to recall Yang Jia Li's departure made him laugh to himself. He so recklessly swallowed herbs that could make people sick stomach and then loose. The journey had to be stopped and stopped, it was impossible to leave Yang Jia Li with her stomach ache. 

"The noble empress always complains and has not been there she has inhibited the pace of travel with diarrheal diseases." 

"Hahahah, Yang Jia Li has always been making trouble!"
