"Shangguan Shu, what do you mean?"
"Divorce, don't even think about it in this life!"
Shangguan Shu curled his lips slightly, "I said, I won't divorce you. Don't even think about trying to make a deal with me using Zhao Ziyin. Even if you ask anyone else, I won't agree!"
Zhao Ying's eyebrows were twisted into a knot. She looked at Shangguan Shu in surprise, "Why are you doing this?"
"You've also seen Huai'an's pain. Can you bear it?"
"Don't think I'll be so heartless as to give the elixir to her... You heard Yue'er's inner voice that day. Zhao Ziyin would humiliate my Qi You like that. I can't find Qi You now, but..."
Zhao Ying paused, "If Zhao Ziyin dies, my Qi You will be able to avoid disaster!"
Shangguan Shu raised his eyes slightly, stared at Zhao Ying for a while, and suddenly smiled.
The deep laugh made Zhao Ying's scalp tingle.
"Princess, you worry too much. I never thought of asking you to compromise and save Princess Huai'an's child."
I never thought I would do this much for you...
Shangguan Shu's smile faded and he was distracted for a moment.
"Are you really going to watch Zhao Ziyin die and Huai'an heartbroken?"
"Everyone has his own destiny..."
Zhao Ying took a long breath and was about to lose control of her emotions.
Shangguan Shu probably saw through it, and to prevent her from getting angry, he stood up tactfully and said, "It's getting late, you and Yue'er should go to bed!"
"I know you don't want to see me right now. I'll sleep in the study tonight."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhao Ying's response.
Zhao Ying was furious. She picked up an apple on the table and threw it at Shangguan Shu's back.
Shangguan Shu hissed in pain, turned around, frowned and glared at Zhao Ying, then finally gave in and turned away.
…
The next day, no bad news had yet come from the palace.
Zhao Ying thought that perhaps Zhao Zinyin's injuries were not as serious as she imagined.
She had promised the Crown Prince that she would visit the Crown Princess today, so she went to the Crown Prince's Mansion after breakfast.
Master Wugen led his disciples to set up a formation. The Crown Princess sat in the hall, her face pale and she looked exhausted.
Zhao Ying thought of what Yue'er had said, the soul-enchanting doll.
The prince was not at home, so she asked the maid and found out that the prince had stayed in Li Liangdi's room last night and Li Liangdi was not feeling well.
The depression that had been weighing on Zhao Ying's heart since last night rose straight into his mind.
Is Li Liangdi sick?
The Crown Princess is about to die!!
Zhao Ying walked directly to the Crown Princess. Seeing her coming, the Crown Princess perked up a bit and said, "Ying'er, you're here..."
"Are you acting like this because my brother favors Li Liang Di?"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess frowned and smiled bitterly, "You also know that he has doted on that girl for many years..."
"Noble ladies like us have no say in anything since we were born. To your prince brother, I am just a force supported by the Wei family. How can we talk about feelings?"
"Now that he has your son, my Wei family has become dispensable."
Zhao Ying became even angrier after hearing this.
Zhao Cong still has to rely on Shangguan Shu?
He really doesn't know how critical the situation is!
"How can my brother be so confused..."
The Crown Princess was completely disappointed. "You know my methods. If your brother had any affection for me, I wouldn't have given up and let that girl hurt me again and again. However, I've been seriously ill these days, and I've finally seen it clearly." The Crown Princess sighed. "Your Zhao family is full of romantic people. Back then, His Majesty did it for Empress Xiaomin, and today, the Crown Prince does it for that little girl!"
"Ying'er, you should try to persuade your brother! Acting like this...it's not a big deal for me, but the censor's words are enough to make him suffer!"
How could Zhao Ying not understand? She could never have imagined that Zhao Cong doted on Li Liangdi to such an extent.
It even threatens his position as crown prince!
Although the emperor loves her and Zhao Cong, he has more than one son, Zhao Cong. The other princes are eyeing the throne. If Zhao Cong is deposed... they will probably be even more miserable!
Zhao Ying sat down, thought for a moment, and said to the Crown Princess, "The most important thing now is... to find the new soul-enchanting doll that Li Liangdi made."
The Crown Princess shook her head and smiled bitterly, "So what if I find it out?"
With Zhao Cong protecting him, even if he is forgiven once, there will be a next time, and the next time.
Zhao Ying patted her hands and said, "I have a way that won't hurt your relationship with your brother, and I can get rid of that girl at the same time!"
The Crown Princess was puzzled, and Zhao Ying instructed, "Just act according to the circumstances!"
After saying this, Zhao Ying said to the maid in the Crown Prince's Mansion, "Go and invite the Crown Prince and Li Liangdi over!"
"I've been here for a long time, and my brother hasn't come out to see me. Doesn't that mean he doesn't welcome me?"
The maid was told to go to Li Liangdi's yard immediately to invite the two of them.
The Crown Princess frowned, "Why did you ask them to come here? It makes me feel upset."
Zhao Ying smiled and said, "Just block it. I want to see my brother."
About half a cup of tea later, Zhao Cong brought Li Liangdi over. Li Liangdi had a forehead protector on her head and her face was pale, looking even worse than the Crown Princess. She came in and wanted to kneel down to pay her respects, but was stopped by Zhao Cong.
"You are still sick, so forget about this gift!"
Li Liangdi was extremely obedient. Upon hearing this, she only said, "May my sister be well, and may Princess Chengqian be well!"
Zhao Ying waved her fan and joked, "Brother, I see that the feng shui of your house is not good. How come Liang Di is also sick?"
As she spoke, Zhao Ying secretly winked at Nanny Li beside her, and Nanny Li went out while no one was paying attention.
Zhao Cong laughed and scolded, "Did you come here just to brag?"
