An hour later, Eunuch Hu issued an imperial edict and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict, saying: The Prime Minister's second daughter Fu Shirou despised the royal power and openly committed crimes in the palace, which was a heinous crime. Prime Minister Fu did not teach his daughter well and was fined for one year. Considering that his father had worked hard for the imperial court for many years, Fu Shirou could be punished with death.

He will not be able to escape his crime. From now on, he will be ordered to move to his family temple to cultivate his moral character. He will not be allowed to return to his family until he is old enough. If he disobeys, he will be killed without mercy! I appreciate this!"

After speaking, Eunuch Hu glanced at the pale-faced Prime Minister Fu and snorted contemptuously, "Prime Minister Fu, please accept the order."

The family of the ministers also dared to offend the power of heaven. They simply didn’t know what to say. Did they really think that after getting the emperor’s favor for a few days, they wanted to go beyond His Highness and the Queen’s master?

Prime Minister Fu was forced to accept the imperial edict due to Emperor Yan's anger, and then he flattered Eunuch Hu by stuffing several bags of gifts and sending him out of Fu's house respectfully.

Fu Shirou was already fussing and crying in Mrs. Fu Wu's arms, refusing to go to the family temple for life or death.

Prime Minister Fu had already lost face in front of an eunuch because of his unruly and willful second daughter. Now His Majesty has issued an order to punish the Fu family. If he doesn't deal with Rou'er ruthlessly, I'm afraid the entire Fu family will be implicated.

Seeing that Prime Minister Fu was back, Fu Shirou immediately dragged the body that had been beaten to pieces with a board, knelt on the bed and begged, "Dad, I know I was wrong. Please help me! Help me! I don't want to go to the family temple, I will die."

It’s over there!”

Most of the people in the family temple are widows whose husbands have died, and women with bad personal ethics. The food and accommodation there are very poor. If she goes there, she might be tortured by those crazy women!

Seeing that Prime Minister Fu was indifferent, Fu Shirou turned to her mother who was wiping her tears and said, "Mom, please help me beg my father! I don't want to go to the family temple! I don't want to go!"

Mrs. Fu Wu looked at her young daughter and wanted to plead for her and say a few soft words. She hoped that Prime Minister Fu could work for her daughter so that she could avoid the fate of going to the family temple.

"Sir, Rou'er is still young. Do you have the heart to let her be abused by others in the temple at such a young age? My lord, I injured my body when I was pregnant with Rou'er, which made the child so weak when she was born. Now it is difficult to raise her.

You are healthy, Sir, are you just going to watch Rou'er suffer!"

Prime Minister Fu had a headache due to the quarrel between the two mothers. He pressed his sore temples and said tiredly, "Do you think I don't want to save you? I thought that Rou'er would be punished in the East Palace and it would be over. I didn't expect that the prince would sue.

Come before His Majesty."

"Rou'er, you have to go to this temple. Dad will arrange everything and will never let you suffer in it."

If he fails to carry out his Majesty's will, he will definitely arouse criticism from the ministers in the court, and will also let his opponents seize the opportunity to restrain his hands and feet. It is really not worth the gain.

"I won't! Dad, I won't go! I just got slapped today, and I'm not going anywhere! Dad, please save me, my daughter!"

"Mom...I'm afraid, please help me!" Fu Shirou cried hysterically. Her father's attitude of giving up on her was hard for her to accept.

After receiving the news from a servant that her sister was being punished in the palace, Fu Shiya hurried back from her grandfather's house and went straight to her sister's room.

"Father, mother, how is Arou?"

Seeing her sister, who had always loved her, Fu Shirou broke down and asked her for help, "Sister, sister, please save me! Dad wants to send me to the family temple, but I don't want to go to the family temple! Sister, save me!"

Fu Shiya hugged her sister distressedly, looked at her frowning father and asked, "Father, wasn't my sister just punished? Why did you send your sister to the family temple?"

Mrs. Fu Wu took Fu Shirou's hand and replied distressedly, "Ya'er, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict to the Fu family. Your father must deal with your sister. Otherwise, our Fu family will also be implicated, and your father has nothing to do.

"

Fu Shiya could understand the stakes in this through her mother's words. It was only Fu Shirou who received the cane punishment. If he went to the family temple with this broken body, he would probably not survive for a few days.

"Dad, is there really nothing we can do?" Fu Shiya didn't believe that her father, who had always been resourceful, would not be able to do anything. She was afraid that this method was the last resort.

Prime Minister Fu glanced at his eldest daughter and understood what he was thinking. He waved his servants away and then slowly told the mother and daughter his plan.

"My father does have a plan to prevent Rou'er from going to the family temple, but Rou'er needs to remain anonymous. My father will find a child with a similar body shape to Rou'er to go to the family temple instead of Rou'er, and wait until Rou'er is old enough to go to the family temple.

However, during this period, Rou'er is not allowed to appear in front of the world. After she grows up, she can only be the concubine of the Fu family, and Fu Shirou's name can no longer be used."

Fu Wu glanced at him hesitantly and asked, "Sir, is this possible? Rou'er is only seven years old now, and there are still nine years before she can get hairpin. Is it necessary for Rou'er to spend nine years in the temple? And let someone replace her.

After knowing Rou'er's identity, if she refuses to give up after nine years, wouldn't we let others take advantage of us?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Shiya felt that her mother's worries were reasonable, and echoed, "Father, what mother said is also reasonable. If someone can control the Fu family..."

Regarding the concerns raised by his wife and daughter, Prime Minister Fu naturally had plans in advance, "My son does not have to worry, as a father he will have his own plans. When the replacement person stays in the temple for a year, the father will let him die of illness. Rou'er will only

It is enough to live quietly."

Seeing that her father had a complete plan, Fu Shiya just had to persuade her wayward sister, "Sister, my father will not harm you, but changing your identity will save you from the pain of the family temple. Sister, just listen to your father's arrangements.

"

"Yes Rou'er, Mom will definitely find a good place for you with beautiful scenery. You stay there obediently. When the time is right, Mom will immediately arrange for someone to take you back." Mrs. Fu Wu also joined in persuading Fu Shirou.

.

Fu Shirou also understood in her heart that this was the best arrangement her parents could make, so she could only nod in agreement, but she was still a child who wanted her parents to give a guarantee, "Dad, mother, sister, you can't forget me!

No matter what identity I become, I am still my parents’ daughter, you can’t forget me!”

"Of course, you are the legitimate daughter of our Fu family, no one can treat you lightly." Madam Fu Wu coaxed as she scraped her daughter's nose.

"Alright madam, you go and prepare things for Rou'er, and I will arrange things properly." After speaking, Prime Minister Fu left Fu Shirou's room to make arrangements.

"Ya'er, you stay with your sister, while mother goes to clean up Rou'er." After saying this, Mrs. Fu Wu stood up and started cleaning up for Fu Shirou with her personal maid.

Fu Shiya helped the injured Fu Shirou lie down on the bed covered with soft quilts, "Sister, don't be sad, leaving home is only temporary. Sister will definitely visit you from time to time."

"Sister, that stinky girl named Yuan Yuan, you must avenge me ruthlessly! I wasted my time as a concubine but it is of no use! Otherwise, how could I be condemned by your Majesty!" Fu Shirou committed herself to punishment without repentance.

All the faults were blamed on Concubine Xian.
