Chapter 203 Pushing Away
The two went hand in hand to visit the princess, and then returned hand in hand to Zhaolanxuan.
When he reached the door of the inner room, Shen Wan tried to pull his hand back, but failed. The next moment, it was thrown away.
Xie Jingyu went to the study without looking back, while Chen Wan returned to the room.
The two of them returned to their previous behavior in front of others, but became even more distant from each other behind others.
Two days passed like this, and it was the birthday of the Queen Mother of Prince Kang.
Chen Wan sat in front of the dressing table, Shanhu combed her hair, the maid set the breakfast, and Xie Jingyu came back from morning exercise.
Shen Wan stood up, and suddenly, she screamed "Ah".
Shanhu was shocked, "What happened to the Crown Princess?"
Shen Wan said in a trembling voice, "I sprained my ankle."
Xie Jingyu glanced at Shen Wan, sat down, and picked up the chopsticks.
Shen Wan was filled with panic at his indifferent reaction. With Shanhu's support, she walked over and said, "I can't go to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Kang..."
Xie Jingyu didn't say anything.
That day, the princess asked Shen Wan to go to Prince Kang's mansion alone to celebrate his birthday, and he could see that Shen Wan was very resistant.
He thought she was unwilling to go alone, but he didn't expect that she didn't want to go at all. She didn't even dare to tell him directly, and pretended to sprain her ankle to avoid him.
Xie Jingyu didn't like to speculate, so he asked directly, "Why don't you want to go and congratulate the Queen Mother of Prince Kang on her birthday?"
Shen Wan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, "No, no..."
Xie Jingyu looked into Shen Wan's eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm so easy to fool?"
Chen Wan said, "You know that Prince Kang's Mansion and the second branch of my Dingguo Mansion conspired to deceive me and the Yun family. I'm worried, so..."
At the end of the sentence, Shen Wan's voice disappeared.
Because Xie Jingyu's face became even darker.
Tell Shen Wan that he is not easy to fool, and fool him openly.
This woman really didn't take him seriously at all. Xie Jingyu mocked her, "Giving you two children, isn't that exactly what you want?"
Shen Wan was almost mad.
If she really went and had two children, he would not be happy.
If she doesn't go, he will mock her.
What the hell does this bastard want with her?!
Shen Wan ignored him. If she didn't go, he couldn't carry her there.
The two maids, Shanhu and Yinchuan, looked at each other. They were clearly in the room, and the prince and his wife did not avoid them when they talked, but they just couldn't understand what they were saying.
Who wants to give the Crown Princess two children?
After breakfast, Xie Jingyu went out. Shanhu thought Shen Wan really sprained her ankle and wanted to help Shen Wan to the small couch. Yinchuan brought medicine to apply to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan said, "I didn't sprain my ankle, I was just pretending."
Shanhu looked puzzled, "Why did the Crown Princess pretend to sprain her ankle?"
Although the Kangwang Mansion and the Second House are in collusion with each other, the Crown Prince's Consort went to celebrate the birthday with the Crown Prince. The Kangwang Mansion should not have the courage to plot against the Crown Prince's Consort, and the Crown Prince's Consort's worry is unnecessary.
Shen Wan hadn't explained it to Xie Jingyu, so naturally she wouldn't tell the two maids either.
Seeing Xie Jingyu leaving the courtyard through the window, Shen Wan told Shanhu, "Pack up the Buddhist scriptures copied for the princess, and let's go to the Huguo Temple."
coral,"……???"
Yinchuan, “……???”
The Crown Prince's Consort doesn't want to go to Prince Kang's Mansion with the Crown Prince, but wants to go to Huguo Temple?
Is it because the Crown Princess has some urgent matter that requires her to rush to the Huguo Temple?
The two maids didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only do as they were told.
There was no need to wear a bunch of pearl hairpins on her head when she went to Huguo Temple. Chen Wan took off a few of them in front of the bronze mirror. When she put the pearl hairpins into the dressing box, she caught a glimpse of the half jade pendant that Yun gave her. For some reason, Chen Wan reached out and picked it up.
Chen Wan didn't value these gold and silver jewelry, and Yun Shi valued them even less. This half jade pendant was given to her when she got married in this life, and was handed into her hands before she died in the previous life. The timing was extraordinary, which shows that this jade pendant is unusual.
Since it is a talisman, it is better to wear it when going out.
Chen Wan put it in his arms.
She and Xie Jingyu left Zhaolanxuan at the same time. No one suspected anything and thought that Xie Jingyu had gone to the front yard for something and was waiting for her there. Even though Xie Jingyu left on horseback first, no one thought much about it.
Chen Wan took Shanhu in a carriage and headed straight for Huguo Temple.
As for Xie Jingyu, he went to Prince Kang's mansion to celebrate his birthday. As soon as he arrived, the secret guards caught up with him and whispered, "My Lord, the Crown Princess has gone to the Huguo Temple."
Swish.
A certain gentleman's face suddenly darkened.
She pretended to have sprained her ankle and did not come to Prince Kang's Mansion with him, but ran to Huguo Temple instead.
Going to have a secret meeting with a man and have a baby?!
Ever since Chen Wan seriously asked for his consent to have two children, Xie Jingyu couldn't control his evil thoughts. The woman seemed to be afraid of him, but in fact she was very stubborn. She even had the courage to discuss it with him openly. She would not easily give up the idea of cheating on him.
Xie Jingyu turned to leave, but Prince Kang Wang came out and saw him, and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Jingyu, you're finally here. Why are you alone? Where's my sister-in-law?"
Chen Ping said, "Don't worry, my lord. The Crown Princess is going out, and Chen An is accompanying her. Nothing will happen."
If the Crown Prince's wife really dared to cheat on the Crown Prince, even if Chen An didn't kill her with one sword, the adulterer would have no chance of survival.
Chen Ping really couldn't understand what the Crown Prince's wife was doing. On the one hand, she was scared to death of the Crown Prince, and on the other hand, she was trying to offend others. Her ashes in her previous life had been scattered by the Crown Prince. She didn't think that if the Crown Prince wanted to kill her, no one could stop him, right?
Chen Ping suspected that Shen Wan was jealous and did it on purpose. She misunderstood that the prince liked General Yun Hui's daughter and deliberately alienated her. She didn't try to find a way to divorce her, so she simply made trouble to annoy the prince. Chen Ping didn't believe that Shen Wan really had the courage to have a child with a wild man outside while holding the title of Prince Jingbei's Consort.
But Chen Ping did not dare to tell Xie Jingyu about his jealous suspicion. The Crown Prince was so angry that he vomited blood. If he knew that the Crown Princess was jealous, he would have fainted with joy.
Chen Ping, “…”
Noticing Xie Jingyu looking at him, Chen Ping quickly lowered his head.
If the prince knew that he was secretly criticizing him, he would definitely be hung for several hours.
Let’s talk about Chen Wan. They took a carriage to Huguo Temple. After Shanhu got off the carriage, he helped her down.
A burst of majestic bell sounds came, cleansing people's souls.
Shen Wan walked towards the main hall and saw from a distance that there was a long queue in front of the Taoist's fortune-telling stall. Today was not the first or fifth day of the lunar year, and the weather was good, so the Taoist was there.
Shen Wan was looking for the Taoist priest for nothing, but when she glanced at him, she found that the Taoist priest had a bandage on his arm. After all, he had helped her a lot, so she had to visit him when he was injured.
Shen Wan walked over and just finished counting one person. The Taoist saw her and stood up to greet her.
Shen Wan asked, “Why is the Taoist priest injured?”
The Taoist priest laughed and said, "You ruined someone else's business and brought disaster upon yourself."
...Is this related to her?
Shen Wan asked, "When did it happen?"
"It's been a while."
Shen Wan said, "I'm sorry."
The Taoist waved his hand and smiled, "I was able to escape this disaster thanks to the Crown Princess's brother."
When the Taoist priest was being hunted, he happened to meet Chen Li. In Shen Li's eyes, the Taoist priest was a great benefactor of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and must be saved. Moreover, even if someone he didn't know was being hunted, he would also help out when he saw injustice.
However, Chen Li didn't know that the Taoist priest was Chen Wan's man, so he didn't tell Chen Wan that the Taoist priest was being hunted. Chen Wan hadn't been to Huguo Temple for several days, so naturally he had no way of knowing.
Shen Wan asked, "It's so dangerous, why is the Taoist still staying here?"
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "I have passed this calamity in my life and there is nothing to worry about now."
Shen Wan, “…”
It is true that a person with great skills is bold.
The question is whether your calculations are accurate, Taoist priest.
Our lives are at stake, so we can't be careless.
However, no one has come to hunt him down for so many days, so he should be fine. Those people probably don’t have the time to target a Taoist priest.
Shen Wan felt guilty and left a hundred taels for the Taoist priest, then went into the Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
After coming out of the main hall, he went to worship Guanyin, who was praying for a child. This was also the purpose of Shen Wan's trip.
If she doesn't go to Prince Kang's Mansion today, she will have no chance to see the two children in this life. She hopes that they can be reborn into a good family, live without disasters and grow up safely.
Shen Wan prayed sincerely, added a lot of incense money, and then left.
The birthday banquet at Prince Kang's Mansion had probably just begun. Xie Jingyu didn't return home so early, so there was nothing for her to do if she went back. She might even be interrogated. It was a rare opportunity to come to the Huguo Temple, so Shen Wan simply walked around and relaxed.
When you are tired, just rest in the pavilion and enjoy the breeze.
It's quite pleasant.
It was getting late, so he prepared to go home.
Coming out of the pavilion, Shen Wan saw Xie Jingyu staggering towards them from afar.
Shen Wan, “…???”
Isn’t he in Prince Kang’s Mansion?
How come he came to Huguo Temple and looked like he could hardly walk steadily?
Shen Wan hurried over and saw that Xie Jingyu's face was flushed, his clothes were disheveled, his mouth was dry, and he looked very hot. She hurried over to help him.
But just as he touched him, he was knocked over by him. Shen Wan fell to the ground and his hand was scratched by the sharp stone.
Did this bastard take the wrong medicine?
She was trying to help him with good intentions, but he pushed her away.
Shen Wan glared at Xie Jingyu angrily. Perhaps it was because his gaze was too powerful, but Xie Jingyu swayed twice and then fainted.
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
