It turned out that Shangguan Shu really went to save her.
Even the second and third sons went.
They really colluded with each other in private, colluding to overthrow the Zhao family's empire!
Zhao Ying suddenly wanted to laugh, but her teeth were chattering.
The Shangguan family is going too far!
She had been deceived and lied to him for more than ten years, and she still thought that Shangguan Shu had really come around and saw her good side. She also thought that the second and third sons' families did not get along with her. At least Shangguan Zhu and Shangguan Dan really respected her as their sister-in-law.
She treated them as a family, but what did they treat her? What did they treat her children as?!
Zhao Ying didn't want to stay here any longer and humiliate herself. Her goal had been achieved. She just wanted to know where Shangguan Shu went last night.
In fact, you can ask the servant.
But she wanted to hear it with her own ears and see it with her own eyes.
Only extreme pain can make her completely wake up from the lies!
Zhao Ying found an excuse to escape, fearing that if it was any later, she would burst into tears uncontrollably.
After Zhao Ying left, Cui and Madam Liu also left.
Zhao Yao smiled sarcastically.
How dare Zhao Ying, this idiot, fight with her!
She will have more to cry about later!
The maid behind her said respectfully, "Princess, this servant will serve you dinner."
Zhao Yao hadn't slept all night and had spent the entire morning chanting sutras in Baoyue Palace. She was now very tired and waved to the maid, "You can leave first. I need to take a short rest."
"The bedroom has been prepared, Princess, please go there."
"Okay, go down!"
Zhao Yao took off her coat, yawned, and lay down on the bed for a nap.
…
Zhao Ying cried all the way in the sedan chair until she arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, where she wiped away her tears.
Her heart was in turmoil.
She wished she could confiscate the entire Zhenguo Mansion and execute the whole family immediately!
Not to mention whether she can be executed or not, her children are also among the nine clans of the Duke of Zhenguo.
This matter cannot be rushed. She needs to take her time and find solid evidence, otherwise her father and brother will not believe it.
Zhao Ying had just gotten off the carriage when the three Shangguan Shu brothers also returned from court.
Zhao Ying heard the voice and looked over, seeing Shangguan Shu. She immediately turned around and hurried into the mansion with Houzhu and Lingyu.
Shangguan Zhu was surprised and asked, "Why did my sister-in-law hide when she saw my brother? Could it be..." He frowned slightly and looked at Shangguan Shu, "Did my sister-in-law know about that?"
Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Ying's back in silence.
Shangguan Dan shook his head. "No wonder she's sad. This morning at the court meeting, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory came out and said that the fire at Kanshan was indeed caused by an evil spirit, and the direction the evil spirit is heading is directly towards our house!"
"Your Majesty didn't believe it, so he specifically summoned the mages from Baoyue Palace to question them. However, they were hesitant and evasive. Upon further questioning, we learned that Princess Huaian was kind-hearted and didn't want her sister-in-law to be sad, so she wanted to keep this secret."
"But the entire court refused to obey and insisted that Your Majesty punish Yue'er. My eldest brother and Princess Huaian pleaded for mercy, and only then did His Majesty agree to spare Yue'er's life and send her away from the capital."
"Looking at the way my sister-in-law looks, I'm afraid she's not willing to send Yue'er away."
"Brother, you should persuade your sister-in-law!"
…
Zhao Ying went to Qingyu Pavilion to see Shangguan Qingyue.
The little guy fell asleep again, holding the clay doll in his two little hands tightly and rubbing it from time to time. He looked so adorable.
The depression in Zhao Ying's heart dissipated. As long as her children were fine, it didn't matter to her.
Zhao Ying reached out to take the clay doll from Xiao Qingyue's hands, but the little one held it tightly. She seemed to have dreamed that someone had snatched her beloved clay doll away. She frowned unhappily, pouted her lips, turned around with the doll in her arms, and continued to sleep.
[Bad guy stole my doll, I'll make a big rat bite your shit! ]
Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows, smiled helplessly, and covered Shangguan Qingyue with the quilt.
At the same time, Zhongcui Palace.
In the quiet palace, a big, shiny rat ran in from somewhere.
The big rat sniffed left and right, and its scarlet eyes finally set eyes on the person on the bed.
The big rat climbed onto Princess Huai'an's bed and took a fancy to the pair of crystal-clear and crisp ears. Hehe, they must be delicious...
Without hesitation, the rat opened its mouth and bit down fiercely on the ear...
Then, a hoarse cry was heard: "Ah!!!!"
…
Just as Zhao Ying was about to get up and leave, Hou Zhu came in hurriedly from outside. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying took her out of the house, and after making sure Xiao Qingyue wouldn't be woken up, she asked, "What's going on?"
"Oh no, Princess! His Majesty wants to send the young lady away!"
“Why?!”
Hou Zhu told Zhao Ying everything that happened at the court meeting. After listening to it, she felt nauseous in her chest and couldn't help but bend over and vomit.
Houzhu was horrified, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Ying couldn't retch and waved his hands palely, "Is the prince back?"
"The prince is in the study."
Zhao Ying swallowed a mouthful of cold tea, suppressing her nausea, and said, "Come with me to find the prince."
When Zhao Ying arrived at the study, Shangguan Shu was writing a memorial.
What kind of memorial? A hypocritical memorial to spare Xiao Yue'er's life?
Xiao Yue'er is also his flesh and blood, but I didn't expect that he would not care about her at all.
Let Zhao Yao label Xiao Yue'er as a monster.
This adulterous couple really makes her sick!
Zhao Ying suppressed the hatred in his heart, pretended to know nothing, and went in.
"Princess?" Shangguan Shu stood up to greet her.
Zhao Ying avoided his support and sat down on her own. "This morning, I heard that there was a fire at Kanshan and Huai'an was frightened, so I went to the palace to see Huai'an. Who knew that I would find out about a happy event in the mansion!"
"What is it?"
Zhao Ying glared at Shangguan Shu, "What else could it be? Xue'er's title!"
Shangguan Shu looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and said calmly, "I thought the princess would be unhappy..."
All the civil and military officials in the court know that you, Shangguan Shu, asked for titles for Zhao Yao's children. Do you think I am happy?
Zhao Ying pretended not to understand. "Why am I unhappy? I punished Xue'er yesterday simply to make her more humble. A strict mother can only produce a filial daughter. Although I am not her biological mother, I am still her adoptive mother."
"Runlang did the same thing last night. The punishment is enough. Why put Xueer in solitary confinement? I came here to talk to you. Just remove it."
Shangguan Shu, perhaps unprepared for Zhao Ying's words, was stunned for a moment before smiling gently, "Princess, you are absolutely right."
"Princess, just do it. No need to discuss it with me."
Zhao Ying smiled faintly, "I came here for another matter."
"Princess, please feel free to speak."
Zhao Ying sighed, "You know I only have one sister, Huai'an. Huai'an suffered misfortune in her early years, and I was deeply saddened. I also love Huai'an's children as my own. Xue'er is fortunate to be named a princess, and she is almost reaching the age of marriage. As a princess, she should follow the etiquette and live in her own residence."
"I have already reported to my father and asked him to grant Xue'er a mansion. Only with a mansion can she be considered a true princess!"
Shangguan Shu looked at Zhao Ying with complicated eyes, his thin lips opening and closing, but he didn't say a word.
