Chapter 271 Disobedience
Chen Wan and Princess Shouzhen were injured on the same day and both needed Xuefu ointment. The emperor found it a little strange, but he did not associate their injuries with each other.
His own daughter went to the Jingbei Palace to show off her power, but was finally frightened by a toad and fell into the lotus pond. She was injured and fainted, and was carried back to the palace, completely losing the face of the royal family.
The emperor's face is as ugly as it can be.
Prince Jingbei asked for the Xuefu ointment without complaining, which was to save face for the emperor. Queen Song came to ask for the ointment, but she avoided the main point and lied for her daughter.
If I don't punish her severely, I don't know how spoiled and willful my daughter will become!
The emperor punished Princess Shouzhen by making her copy a hundred articles of palace rules and forbidding her to leave the palace without his permission. Empress Song was fined for half a year and was required to hand over the phoenix seal if she still could not discipline Princess Shouzhen.
When Eunuch An went to announce the oral order, Queen Song knelt on the ground, extremely angry.
Because his daughter was injured, the emperor gave the Xuefu ointment to the Crown Princess of Jingbei. Now he wants her to copy the palace rules so many times as punishment. The palace rules are so thick that it is considered good if she can copy them twice a day.
The Prince of Jingbei had met the Emperor, and she had also gone to the Emperor to ask for ointment. Who was so bold as to deliberately tell the Emperor about Princess Shouzhen's fainting in the Prince of Jingbei's mansion?!
Xie Jingyu didn't say how serious Shen Wan's injury was, but he went to the palace specifically to ask for Xuefu ointment. The emperor subconsciously thought that the injury was very serious and was worried that a box of Xuefu ointment would not be enough.
Queen Song only said that Princess Shouzhen accidentally hit her head, but Eunuch An knew that Princess Shouzhen had left the palace and suspected that she was injured outside the palace, so he asked his trusted eunuch to find out.
The emperor punished them, and Queen Song was unwilling to accept it, but she had no choice but to accept it.
The most important thing right now is her daughter's face. She must not let her daughter have a scar on her face.
Although the imperial physician said that using other ointments might not work, it is better to be safe than sorry.
She must get the Xuefu Cream!
The emperor values his own face more than Princess Shouzhen's, but in Queen Song's heart, her daughter is more important than anything else.
Now the ointment is in the hands of Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu, so we can only ask for it from the Jingbei Palace.
That day, Shen Wan neither went to pay her respects to the old lady nor went to the princess. After all, Xie Jingyu had asked the emperor for Xuefu cream, so she had to pretend.
She went to the study to get a book. Before leaving, Chen Wan asked Yinchuan to find a veil for her to wear.
Silver bracelet, “…”
There's no need for that.
The Crown Prince's Consort came back yesterday with a little red mark on her face, and everyone passing by saw it.
Not heavy.
It’s too late to install it now.
But if Shen Wan wanted it, Yin Chuan would go and get it.
Shen Wan put on her veil and went to the study.
Xie Jingyu had never seen her wearing a veil before, and his eyes lit up, "Come here."
Shen Wan didn't know what he wanted her to do, so she walked towards him.
As soon as she walked to his side, he stretched out his arm and the person was in his arms. Yinchuan dodged with a red face.
Shen Wan struggled, "What are you doing?"
"Let me see your face."
I know exactly what the face looks like under the veil, but I just want to take it off and take a look.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this person, just pick it if you want.
Xie Jingyu took off the veil and rubbed her right cheek with his fingertips, "It's completely healed."
“…I was injured on the left side of my face.”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
A certain gentleman was a little embarrassed.
He kissed her directly.
Chun'er came in from outside and saw this scene. Her face instantly turned red as a monkey's butt. She turned around and wanted to run, but she walked too fast and bumped into the door.
Hearing the noise, Shen Wan punched Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. Not only could he not have sex with her, but he would be interrupted even when he tried to kiss her.
"What's up?"
Chun'er lowered her head and turned around, "The Queen has sent someone to invite the Princess to the palace..."
Shen Wan's brows knitted together, "What does the Queen want to do with Mother?"
"It should be Xuefu Cream."
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "Is there nothing left in the palace?"
Xie Jingyu said, "The last box is in your hands."
Shen Wan knew that there were only three boxes of Xuefu Cream a year, but she didn't expect that there would be no more in the palace.
Queen Song is really shameless. She allowed her daughter to come to Jingbei Palace to support Song Nanyue. Now that her face is injured and she needs Xuefu ointment, she asks the princess to come to the palace.
Chen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu pinched Chen Wan's nose, "Mother has always been protective of her shortcomings and will never turn her elbow outward."
Shen Wan was relieved.
Queen Song asked the princess to enter the palace. The princess was not sick or in pain, so she had no reason not to go. So she followed the palace maid into the palace and arrived at Fengyi Palace.
Queen Song said, "It's been a while since I last saw Princess Jingbei."
The princess said, "The Queen is worried about you."
After a few pleasantries, the princess asked, "I wonder why the Queen wants me here...?"
Queen Song said, "Yesterday, Shouzhen went to the Jingbei Palace. Unexpectedly, she had a conflict with the Crown Prince's Consort and returned to the palace injured. The Emperor didn't know Shouzhen was injured, so he gave the Crown Prince's Consort his only remaining box of Xuefu Cream. The Emperor couldn't ask for something back after giving it away, so this is why I'm looking for the Jingbei Crown Princess..."
The princess said, "If the queen hadn't told me that the emperor had given Xuefu cream to the prince's wife, I wouldn't have known about it."
Queen Song said, "I heard from Nan Yan that the Crown Prince's Consort's face has never been broken."
The princess said calmly, "Princess Shouzhen did show mercy and spared the life of my Jingbei Palace bloodline."
Queen Song's face froze.
The princess mentioned that Shen Wan was pregnant, and Queen Song couldn't bring herself to ask the princess for help.
Queen Song picked up the teacup and said, "The Crown Prince is deeply trusted by the Emperor. Don't do anything that would embarrass the Emperor..."
The princess smiled and said, "The Queen taught me that, but Yu'er can gain the trust of the Emperor. I believe that he will not disappoint the Emperor. If he really makes mistakes, the Prince will teach him. I am confined to the inner house, and all I can do is not to cause trouble for Yu'er."
It doesn't swallow anything and it's watertight.
Queen Song knew that the princess would not help, so she stopped talking and served tea to see the guest off.
However, the princess had not yet returned to the Jingbei Palace, and the empress dowager called the old lady into the palace.
The princess doesn't bend her elbows outward, but the old lady is different.
As soon as the old lady returned home, Madam Wu came to Zhao Lanxuan and told him, "The old lady asked the Crown Princess to send half of the Xuefu Cream to the palace for Princess Shouzhen."
When the Queen Mother asked the old lady to come to the palace, Shen Wan was mentally prepared, but when she really heard it, her anger still surged uncontrollably to her head.
He gave the order without even discussing it with her.
Do you really think you are that great?
Chen Wan smiled, "My husband went to the palace to ask the emperor for the Xuefu cream for me. I wouldn't dare give it to anyone without his permission."
"My husband is in the study. Mother Wu, go ask him."
Mother Wu was about to speak, but Shen Wan was too lazy to pay attention to her, “Send Mother Wu to the study.”
Yinchuan made a gesture of invitation, and Mother Wu had no choice but to go find Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu was reading a military book, so Mother Wu spoke to Xie Jingyu in a more tactful way. "Today, the Queen Mother called the old lady into the palace and asked about the Crown Princess's injuries. The old lady thought the Queen Mother was concerned about the Crown Princess, so she said it wasn't serious. The Queen Mother said Princess Shouzhen needed the Xuefu Cream more, so she asked the Crown Princess to give the Xuefu Cream to Princess Shouzhen..."
Xie Jingyu flipped the page casually, "Are you done?"
"The old lady didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother and agreed on behalf of the Crown Princess..."
Xie Jingyu looked up and glanced at Mother Wu.
At that glance, Mother Wu felt a chill run through her body.
Xie Jingyu put down the military book and stood up.
When he went out, Shen Wan happened to come over, and Xie Jingyu said, "I'm going to the palace."
Shen Wan was bewildered, "What are you doing in the palace?"
Xie Jingyu said, "The Queen Mother forced the old lady to give up the youngster's things. The old lady felt wronged and asked me to go to the palace to help her complain to the emperor."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Mother Wu, “……!!!”
Xie Jingyu was about to leave when Mother Wu said anxiously, "That's not what the old lady meant..."
Xie Jingyu glanced at him with a cold look.
Mother Wu was so frightened that she almost died. "I must have misspoken. I'll go back and ask the old lady to make sure there's no mistake."
