After the Emperor of Fengdu left, the Empress hurriedly helped Xiao Yaning up.
The little girl kept repeating that she wanted to go into the water, and Lin Wanwan was tired of hearing it.
A talisman sealed her mouth shut.
Empress: ...Thanks to Lin Wanwan.
Holy Emperor: ...Finally, it's quiet.
Just then, Eunuch Wang knocked on the door.
"Come in."
When Eunuch Wang entered the Phoenix Palace, he always felt a chill in the air.
He thought to himself: It wasn't this cold just now.
"Your Majesty, the palace maids who served Ningxi Palace are all at the door."
After hearing this, the Holy Emperor carried Lin Wanwan out.
The palace maids used to serve Xiao Yaning in Ningxi Palace, but since Xiao Yaning left, they have had nothing to do.
They idled away their time in Ningxi Palace, yet still received their monthly stipends.
Eunuch Wang said, "Your Majesty, these people have had nothing to do since the Sixth Princess left."
They're all Consort Zhao's people.
“Mud~” Lin Wanwan pointed, “Thunderbolt Fire Fate!”
"Muddy wall, earthen fate"
“Mud, also.”
"Bad guy."
...
Lin Wanwan pointed her small hand at the six palace maids standing in front of her and read out their destinies.
The maids' hearts skipped a beat. Few people in the world knew this kind of calculation method. How did this little baby know it?
These people are all incompatible with the Sixth Princess's fate.
[Consort Zhao intertwined their birth dates and times, intending to bring misfortune upon the Sixth Princess.]
[In her past life, the Sixth Princess suffered from hysteria before she was bitten to death by a dog.]
Anger flared in the Holy Emperor's eyes.
What a scoundrel Zhao! He showered her with favor, yet even after her death, he didn't forget to dig a pit for her.
"These people have failed to serve the Sixth Princess properly; drag them away and beat them to death!"
Upon hearing this, several palace maids knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
“We servants will never dare to do it again.”
With a wave of his hand, the Holy Emperor had them dragged away by the guards, sobbing and wailing.
After everyone left, the Holy Emperor said to Eunuch Wang, "Go to the mass grave and find Consort Zhao's body. Whip it a hundred times!"
Since the Emperor of Fengdu said he could not punish her soul.
He is the emperor of the mortal realm, and he has the right to punish.
After trembling for a moment, Eunuch Wang replied, "Yes."
[When my uncle gets angry, he's truly formidable.]
The book says you are a cruel emperor, yet you are somehow endearing.
Your cruelty is only used on those who deserve it.
Lin Wanwan's muttered thoughts made the Holy Emperor happy.
Just then, the Second Prince arrived in a hurry with Lin Chang'an.
The two looked around the Phoenix Palace, as if searching for something.
"Father, I have heard that my sister jumped into the lake and committed suicide?"
"Hmm." The Holy Emperor felt a wave of fear. If he hadn't brought Wanwan into the palace just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine soon."
"Junli, take some men to Ningxi Palace. There is a rag doll under Jingyue Lake. Find it, then choose a sunny day and month, burn the doll, and scatter the ashes back into the lake."
The second prince asked, puzzled, "Why, Father?"
"Your imperial sister has encountered some trouble; you need to act quickly."
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Father. I will take Wanwan back home in a little while, and stop by on the way."
"Um."
The Holy Emperor patted Lin Wanwan's little head, remembering her first birthday banquet tomorrow.
He asked, "Are you invited to Wanwan's first birthday party tomorrow?"
"No, Father Emperor."
Ye Lanyin is a divorced woman, and her daughter's current identity is unknown. She has no connection with the royal family at present.
Even if it was because of the life-saving grace she had received last time, Ye Lanyin felt it was no exaggeration to say that it was just a small favor.
"Go and deliver the gift tomorrow."
"I will go to the storeroom to choose in a moment."
The second prince was overjoyed; he now had a legitimate reason to go.
"Yes, Father."
"Oh, right, go see what their invitations look like, and make one exactly the same, with your name on it!"
"Huh?" The second prince was bewildered.
He went there on his father's orders, yet he still had to pull these kinds of dirty tricks in private?
"What? You look down on me?"
"No, no." Would he dare? He didn't have much money; tomorrow he'd be relying entirely on his wealthy father to make a scene. How could he possibly offend his sugar daddy?
The Empress held Lin Wanwan's hand and said gratefully, "Wanwan, thank you."
[You're too kind, Aunt Queen.]
Wanwan likes the Sixth Princess.
Lin Wanwan waved her little hand and shook her little head.
You're welcome~
When the Empress saw Lin Wanwan, she felt a sense of relief for no reason, and her previous worries vanished.
Lin Chang'an felt like he had missed something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
As evening approached, Lin Wanwan and Lin Chang'an had their dinner before the Second Prince led them back.
I was already asleep when I got back to Ping'an Prefecture.
Ye Lanyin was worried all day, but she was relieved to learn that her daughter was behaving well.
The next day, the fifth day of the tenth month.
Lin Wanwan's first birthday.
Early in the morning, some well-connected noblewomen, accompanied by their husbands, headed to Ping'an Prefecture.
The ministers who followed all pouted, but the lady beside him had a big smile on her face.
Lin Wanwan was picked up in her sleep by Hua Xin and Hua Mei to wash up and put on new clothes.
After some fiddling around, the ladies arrived at the mansion.
"Oh my, Wanwan looks so beautiful today."
"That's right, she was born beautiful and inherited Madam Ye's good looks. She's bound to be a beauty in the future."
"Yes, yes, I think I need to have another son first, to see if I'll be lucky enough to marry Madam Ye in the future..."
