Chapter 272 Rejection
Mother Wu almost crawled out of Zhaolanxuan.
If the Crown Princess had not come out and asked one more question, the Crown Prince would have really gone to the palace to file a complaint on behalf of the Old Lady and the Emperor.
The prince must understand the old lady's words in this way, and it cannot be said that he is wrong.
The Xuefu Cream was requested by the Crown Prince on behalf of the Crown Princess. It was not right for Queen Song to ask the Princess, let alone the Queen Mother to ask the Old Madam.
How can you promise something for someone else if it is not your own? It would be fine if the prince and his wife were obedient, but they are not.
Mother Wu went back and reported everything Xie Jingyu had said to the old lady. The old lady almost couldn't breathe.
If Xie Jingyu really went to the palace to find the emperor, the emperor would question the empress dowager, and the empress dowager would not misunderstand that she was hypocritical.
The Queen Mother went to see the old lady because she was sure that this was a good opportunity to sell her favor to the Queen Mother, and the old lady would definitely take it. The old lady agreed because she felt that Shen Wan would not dare to embarrass her. Who would have thought that Shen Wan would push it to Xie Jingyu, who was determined to fight Queen Song to the end.
Mother Wu asked, "What should we do about this?"
The old lady said in a deep voice, "I have helped in every way I can. The things are in their hands. If they are unwilling to give them, there is nothing I can do."
When she returned home, she asked Mother Wu to find the Crown Prince's Consort. Song Nanyue knew that this was enough.
The old lady brought the teacup and said, "Whether the Crown Princess gives it or not, it's not a bad thing for us."
If she gave it to her, the Queen Mother would owe her a favor.
If you don't give it to me, Princess Shouzhen will have a scar on her face, and she will hate the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess even more, and I will kill them as soon as possible.
Mother Wu never went to Zhao Lanxuan again, and the matter was left unresolved. The old lady did not send anyone to the palace to report to the empress dowager. Since the Xuefu cream was not delivered to the palace, the empress dowager should have known that this approach of hers was a failure.
Queen Song tried every possible way but still couldn't get the Xuefu Cream. She was really at her wit's end, but the Emperor didn't want to use the most effective cream.
As long as the emperor asks, how dare the Prince of Jingbei refuse?!
In the eyes of the emperor, her daughter's face is not as important as his own!
The Prince of Jingbei claims to be loyal to the emperor, but he does not take the initiative to offer the Xuefu cream, putting the emperor in a difficult position.
After much hesitation, Shen Wan finally split the Xuefu cream into two.
She was unwilling to give it to Princess Shouzhen, but Princess Shouzhen was the emperor's daughter after all. The emperor treated them well, and she couldn't let the emperor be caught in the middle.
More importantly, Princess Shouzhen’s injury would not necessarily leave a scar even without Xuefu Cream.
Even if scars are left, they can still be removed by the next spring when Xuefu cream is delivered to Beijing, just a few months later.
Shen Wan handed half a box of Xuefu Cream to Xie Jingyu, "You can send it to the emperor."
"It's getting late today, I'll send it off tomorrow."
“…”
It’s getting late…
I just had breakfast.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu said, "I know you won't embarrass the emperor, and the emperor knows it too."
"The Emperor wouldn't be anxious if it's a day or two late, so why are you anxious?"
“…”
"I just wanted to ask the emperor for a reward."
“…”
As expected, this guy never suffers any loss no matter what he eats.
You know what, she really does want something.
Shen Wan's eyes sparkled.
Well, the Emperor had confidence in them and knew that they were deliberately trying to teach Princess Shouzhen a lesson, but Empress Song and the Queen Mother had no confidence in them, so they tried every possible means.
Princess Shouzhen was still making a fuss because she couldn't get the Xuefu ointment for a long time, even though the imperial physician said it might not leave scars.
Chen Wu and Chen Ti went to the palace to visit Princess Shouzhen.
The two wanted to help, but unfortunately they could only think about it.
Shen Ti didn't even dare to enter the Jingbei Palace anymore. Queen Song asked the princess for help, and the queen mother asked old lady Xie for help, but they couldn't get the Xuefu cream. It was even more impossible for her to go to Shen Wan for help. Last time, she was chased out of the Jingbei Palace with a broom. She was so embarrassed as the concubine of Prince Cheng that she dared not go there again.
Shen Ti has the royal face to protect her, but Shen Wan doesn't give her any face. Shen Wu is just the wife of the Marquis of Wucheng. If she is beaten by Shen Wan, it would be in vain.
Princess Shouzhen was filled with rage, and she lost her good face towards Shen Ti and Shen Wu. If they had gotten rid of Shen Wan earlier, they wouldn't have been defeated so miserably, and in the end, she would have suffered as well!
Chen Wu and Shen Ti visited Princess Shouzhen and left the palace in anger, but they did not dare to anger Princess Shouzhen and bear a grudge against Chen Wan.
Shen Wu gritted her teeth and said, "How can Shen Wan be so virtuous and capable that so many people pamper and protect her!"
Jealousy twisted her delicate face.
Shen Ti was also jealous.
It would be fine if Shen Wan was Shen Ji and Yun's biological child, but she was just adopted, so why?!
She wanted to see if the news that Shen Wan was not Shen Ji's biological daughter would spread, would the Prince of Jingbei still be so nice to her!
The next day, Xie Jingyu brought half a box of Xuefu cream into the imperial study.
As Xie Jingyu said, the emperor knew that he and Shen Wan would not make things difficult for him, so he was not surprised at all when he saw the Xuefu cream.
The Emperor laughed and said, "The Empress and the Queen Mother asked you for it, but you didn't give it to me. Why did you send it to me?"
Xie Jingyu said, "My wife doesn't want to embarrass the emperor."
The emperor was deeply moved by these words.
The emperor asked, "Is there anything Wan'er wants?"
"My wife wants a pink tiara."
emperor,"……"
Eunuch An, “…”
You’re really welcome.
The emperor said, "Send someone to the storehouse to see if there is anything there."
It takes time to find something. The emperor promised to give it to you, so he will not go back on his word.
Xie Jingyu said goodbye and left the palace.
The eunuch searched the storehouse but couldn't find the pink crown. He reported to the emperor, "There's no pink crown in the storehouse, but today a tribute was delivered to the palace, and they say it includes a very beautiful phoenix crown..."
Moon-Lanyue Palace.
The bedroom where Princess Shouzhen lived.
The wound on Princess Shouzhen's forehead has scabbed over and the dizziness from the head collision has subsided, but she is still bedridden.
She wouldn't get out of bed until she got the Xuefu cream. She couldn't go out until her scars were gone, not to mention that the emperor punished her by making her copy the palace rules.
Princess Shouzhen looked aggrieved, and Queen Song had no choice but to try her best to comfort her.
While I was comforting her, Xuefu Cream arrived.
Queen Song immediately recognized the tray carried by the maid as containing the Xuefu Cream. "Where did it come from?"
The palace maid replied, "The Prince of Jingbei was just brought into the palace."
Princess Shouzhen said proudly, "I thought they really dared not to send it to the palace, but they did."
"Give it to me now."
The palace maid came forward, and Princess Shouzhen couldn't wait to pick up the Xuefu cream, but saw that there was only half a box. Although it was enough, she was still very angry.
A young eunuch came in and reported, "Princess, a new batch of tribute has been delivered to the palace..."
Finally, it was delivered. Princess Shouzhen was overjoyed and immediately said to Queen Song, "Mother, I heard that among the tribute this time, there is an extremely beautiful phoenix crown. I want it..."
Queen Song smiled and said, "Just focus on recovering from your injuries. No one can compete with you."
Princess Shouzhen thought about it and agreed.
Who can compete with her?
It's almost like not wanting to live anymore.
Empress Song was about to apply medicine to Princess Shouzhen. Just as she applied some, a young palace maid ran in and said, "Oh no! The Emperor has given the phoenix crown to the Crown Princess of Jingbei!"
