Chapter 363 Also Poisoned
When she heard that He Wan's wedding date was postponed, Concubine Lan stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, I feel this is inappropriate. Wan'er is already eighteen years old this year. If the wedding date is postponed any further, I'm afraid she will be..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted coldly by the Queen.
"What's wrong with that? Miss Sun has lost her moral character. If she is not disciplined, it will bring shame to the royal family."
The meaning was very clear. A person with such bad conduct was not worthy of entering the palace. If it were not for the right prime minister's face, the marriage would have been canceled on the spot.
"You..." Concubine Lan gritted her teeth in anger.
Just as he was about to say something else, he was interrupted by the emperor.
"Okay, that's it. Today's matter is over, and there's no need to mention it again in the future."
He gave away his two most precious night pearls in order to end the matter as quickly as possible. Now that the Queen and the Crown Princess have calmed down, they don't want to cause any more trouble.
"Yes." Concubine Lan leaned forward unwillingly.
His eyes were full of hatred, especially when he looked at the night pearl in the hands of the Queen and Shen Yiyi, he was really jealous and resentful.
She had asked the emperor for it so many times, but he always refused. Now he was giving it all away. How could she not hate him?
Seeing that Concubine Lan was about to explode with anger, the Queen was in a very good mood. She stood up, holding the night pearl in her hand.
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
She fumbled with the night pearl in her hand again, her face showing an unconcealable joy, for she had always known that the emperor treasured this item very much.
She didn't dare to ask for it, but now the emperor actually took the initiative to give it to her and Yiyi. She was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.
Seeing the queen leave, Shen Ze also bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, since there is nothing else to do, your humble servant and I will take our leave." Shen Yiyi also followed suit and bowed.
"Well, the Crown Princess has been wronged this time. Go back and take good care of herself." The Emperor nodded.
The child was crying like this, it seemed that he really took this matter to heart.
Jiang Zuo was waiting at the gate of the imperial palace when he saw the Crown Princess following behind the Left Prime Minister, grinning as she stared at the night pearl in her hand.
"Miss."
"Well, Xiao Jiang, this is the night-shining pearl that the emperor gave me. Does it look good?"
Shen Yiyi happily showed off the night pearl in her hand. She really liked this thing.
"It looks good." Jiang Zuo was shocked, but he nodded repeatedly.
I never expected that the Emperor would give this night pearl to the Crown Princess. When Shen Yiyi was about to get on the carriage, she was stopped by Shen Ze.
"Is not you going home?"
"Yes, I have to go to the cell. I still have a lot of things to retrieve."
Of course I have to go home. There are so many jewels and gold ingots in the cell. I can't just leave them there and let others take advantage of them.
"Miss, I have asked someone to send those things back to you."
Knowing that the Crown Princess treasured those things, he had already sent someone to send them back to her house.
"Send him back. Okay, then I'll go straight home." Shen Yiyi was about to get on her father's carriage.
As if he remembered something, he turned around and looked at Jiang Zuo.
"Tell General Zhan to come to see me at the back door tonight."
"Okay." Jiang Zuo nodded, and Shen Yiyi got on her father's carriage.
Looking at his daughter who was still crying, Shen Ze took out the handkerchief from his arms.
"Don't cry anymore, wipe your eyes." Your eyes are all red from crying, please don't cry any more.
"Hmm? No need." Shen Yiyi looked up.
He pushed his father's handkerchief back, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and opened the lid.
I waved it in front of my eyes, and the tears that had been unstoppable just now stopped flowing instantly.
Moreover, the redness of his eyes was not that severe, which surprised Shen Ze.
"This……"
My daughter's eyes were frighteningly red just now, but in the blink of an eye, they were no longer so red.
Seeing her father staring at her in surprise, Shen Yiyi looked indifferent.
"Is it possible without some strategy?" He wiped his eyes again.
Acting has to be more realistic, there won't be so many tears without any help.
"..." Shen Ze suddenly realized.
He stared straight at his daughter in front of him, and after a moment, he smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.
"You deceived even my father."
When I saw her eyes were red from crying, I thought she was really sad, but it turned out she was just pretending.
I was so happy that I didn't know if it was because I didn't pay enough attention to my daughter in the past, or because of this time she ran away.
She is much smarter than before, but it's a pity that she is a girl. If she were a boy, he wouldn't have to worry.
However, when I think of the emperor and queen's attitude today, I still feel very happy.
Especially the emperor, who gave her such a precious night pearl, which shows how much he values Yiyi.
Although his son is not encouraging, his daughter brings him honor. If she becomes the Crown Princess in the future, the Left Prime Minister's Mansion will not decline.
Shen Yiyi didn't know that her cheap father had so many thoughts in his mind, and all his attention was now focused on the night pearl in his holdings.
It is rare to see one this big, it must be very bright at night.
The carriage stopped at the door. Shen Yiyi got off and ran back to her own yard. She had to check whether the treasures were missing or not, in case they were tampered with by someone with ulterior motives.
After the lightening, all the things were still there and I was still happy. I had stayed in the cell for several days and felt extremely uncomfortable.
I asked someone to fetch some hot water and took a nice hot bath.
On the other hand, Wan and Shen Qiaoqiao, who were under house arrest, learned that Shen Yiyi had sent back a lot of gold and jewelry.
I'm extremely jealous, but now that I'm under house arrest, there's nothing I can do. I can only bear it and look for an opportunity in the future.
Then they heard that the emperor gave Shen Yiyi a night-shining pearl, and they were all jealous.
Everyone knew how much the emperor treasured his two night pearls, but no one expected that he gave one to that dead girl.
Why is she so lucky? She was really angry and annoyed, but Shen Ze was happy.
I have been very happy since I returned home. Today I am really proud of myself. I specially asked the kitchen to cook the dishes that Shen Yiyi likes.
Now it is Aunt Liu who is in charge of household affairs in the mansion. Seeing that the master is so happy, she naturally takes it seriously.
She personally went to the kitchen to supervise the food and made what the young lady and the master liked to eat.
Shen Yiyi had just finished her bath when she heard that her father wanted to have dinner with her. She had been acting out a play for the whole morning.
After taking another bath, he was really hungry, so he went to the front yard without even hesitating.
When I arrived at the front hall and saw so many delicious foods on the table, I immediately grinned with joy.
"Wow! There are so many delicious foods!"
So many of them were what she liked. Seeing his daughter so happy, Shen Ze also had a look of joy on his face.
"Please sit down." He even handed over the chopsticks considerately.
Shen Yiyi didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and was about to eat when she saw Aunt Liu standing beside her in a proper manner.
"..."
This Aunt Liu was also poisoned!
She was just a little concubine and not favored in the mansion, so how could she have been poisoned?
Seeing the eldest lady staring at her, a look of panic flashed across Aunt Liu's face.
"Miss, is there something I did wrong?"
