Chapter 509 Eavesdropping
The emperor was still angry, but when Shen Wan pulled his arm, the emperor's anger was instantly thrown away.
Watching Shen Wan and the emperor go to appreciate the flowers, Queen Song was angry and relieved.
She was glad that Shen Wan took the emperor away, but she was angry that she had such a concubine as her daughter-in-law. Given her relationship with Shen Wan, she just wanted to say a few words that she wanted to hear and get them to say it out of her?
If Shen Wanzhen was so easy to trick, several lives would have been lost in her hands.
He failed to make the promise and ended up in trouble.
As stupid as a pig!
Shen Ti was already kneeling on her knees, and after that blow, her knees seemed to be broken. She didn't dare to beg for mercy, no, she didn't even dare to look up at Queen Song.
Fortunately, she rushed over in a hurry, and Queen Song just threw her phoenix robe and left.
Watching Chen Wan and the emperor go to appreciate the winter jasmine, Princess Xuanning hesitated whether to go with them. She had never been so close to her father before. She was even very careful when speaking to her father, but her sister could be so casual.
To avoid jealousy, Princess Xuanning did not follow and admired the flowers from afar.
After making sure that no one was coming, Shen Wan said, “Father, your future queen should go to the Peach Blossom Banquet held by Princess Shunyang’s Mansion…”
emperor,"……???"
Eunuch An, “…???”
Queen Song had been picking on her time and again, and the princess was still begging the emperor for Queen Song?
Eunuch An wondered if Shen Wan was confused because of anger.
The emperor was also puzzled. "Why are you speaking up for the queen?"
Shen Wan said, "I will tell you later, and I hope your Majesty will approve it."
Chen Wan has been able to act like a spoiled child with his parents since he was a child. The emperor has never had anyone act like a spoiled child with him in his life, so how could he resist?
Even if you don't act coquettishly, the emperor will agree.
"Okay, I agree."
"Thank you, Father."
Shen Wan spoke in a cheerful tone, and no one noticed that Yaoguang County Master was standing behind the tree over there eavesdropping.
The emperor accompanied Chen Wan to appreciate the flowers for a while. The right prime minister wanted to see the emperor about something, so the emperor asked Princess Xuanning to accompany Chen Wan to appreciate the flowers, and he returned to the imperial study.
Before Princess Xuanning came over, Yaoguang County Lady came over first. She looked at Chen Wan and said, "You actually said something good on behalf of Queen Song. What evil thoughts are you harboring?"
Some people can affect other people's good mood just by opening their mouths.
Shen Wan asked, "Does Lady Yaoguang know what crime it is to eavesdrop on my conversation with the emperor?"
Yaoguang County Lady was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager, and she couldn't be frightened by a few words. "The Imperial Garden is so huge, I just didn't come to pay my respects to the Emperor. How can that be considered eavesdropping?"
"I will tell the Queen about this!"
It can really do bad things.
She asked the emperor to agree to let Queen Song leave the palace, which was to give Queen Song the opportunity to have an affair with Prince Qing. She wanted to catch the adulterers in pairs and seize the stolen goods. Without solid evidence, she could not bring down Queen Song and Prince Cheng.
As long as King Cheng is still alive, Xie Jingyu will not feel at ease leaving the capital to find the princess.
Although she didn't want Xie Jingyu to go, she couldn't let the princess be in danger outside. The sooner she found the princess, the sooner she could feel at ease.
As a result, the good plan was interrupted like this, and Shen Wan was unwilling to accept it.
However, the relationship between Princess Qi Yang and Queen Song was not very good, and the relationship between Princess Yao Guang and Princess Shou Zhen was only harmonious on the surface.
There was no other reason. Both of them were rich and powerful, but many of the tributes sent to the palace were unique pieces. If one was given, the other would be gone.
The two have been fighting for good things since they were young, and have had many conflicts. On the surface, they are sisters with deep affection, but in reality, neither of them is willing to give in to the other.
Chen Wan refused to give up and struggled, "I asked the emperor to agree to let Queen Song go to Princess Shunyang's mansion to investigate the case of Prince Jin. You tell this to the Queen Mother and your mother, Princess Qiyang. I won't say anything, but if you dare to let Queen Song know a word, I will make the emperor marry you to the bitter cold borderland, and never think of returning to the capital in this life!"
Yaoguang County Lord said angrily, "How dare you threaten me?!"
Shen Wan said, “If you don’t believe me, Yaoguang County Master can try and see if I can do it.”
Princess Yaoguang was almost furious. She had never been threatened like this before. "Just wait! I'll tell the Queen Mother about this!"
Lady Yaoguang turned and left. She thought Shen Wan would stop her, give in, and apologize to her.
In the end, Shen Wanli ignored her and continued to admire the flowers.
Princess Yaoguang looked back three times, stomped her feet in anger and went to find the empress dowager.
Shanhu said worriedly, "Crown Princess, she really went to see the Queen Mother."
Shen Wan said, “It’s okay to go to the Queen Mother, as long as Queen Song doesn’t know.”
As for threatening Lady Yaoguang, the empress dowager knew how much the emperor loved her. She just wanted to let Queen Song go to Princess Shunyang's mansion to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet as she wished. This was a good thing for Queen Song, and the empress dowager had no reason to make herself unhappy.
When Lady Yaoguang arrived at Shoukang Palace, Princess Shunyang was leaving. Seeing Lady Yaoguang fuming, Princess Shunyang asked, "Who made our Lady Yaoguang so angry?"
Princess Yaoguang was burning with anger, but she was also truly afraid that the Emperor would marry her off to a cold and bitter borderland. "I just can't stand seeing the Emperor dote on Princess Qingning so much!"
There's nothing we can do about it.
Princess Yaoguang went to the Queen Mother to complain, "Queen Mother, Princess Qingning is threatening me!"
The Queen Mother didn't like Chen Wan to begin with, and her face immediately darkened as she asked, "She dares to threaten you?"
Princess Qiyang was also angry, "What did she threaten you with?"
The Yaoguang County Magistrate wanted to talk, but she held back and ordered all the palace maids guarding the bedroom to leave.
After everyone left, Yaoguang County Lady spoke, "The Queen wanted to go to Princess Shunyang's residence to attend the Peach Blossom Banquet, but the Emperor didn't agree. Princess Qingning interceded for the Queen, which I found strange, so I asked her what evil intentions she had. She first threatened me, then said she was investigating Prince Jin's case. She also said I could tell the Queen Mother and my mother about this, but I couldn't let the Queen know. Otherwise, she would instigate the Emperor to marry me off to a cold and bitter borderland, where I would never be allowed to return to the capital..."
"She's so brave!"
The Queen Mother was shaking with anger.
This is truly lawless. He is climbing over the head of the empress dowager and acting tyrannically. She only gave birth to a pair of children, Prince Jin and Princess Qiyang. Prince Jin was poisoned to death on his wedding night. Princess Qiyang only has one daughter, Princess Yaoguang. She is in so much pain. She is not dead yet, and it is not the emperor's turn to decide the marriage of her granddaughter!
Princess Qiyang hurriedly helped the Queen Mother to calm down. The Queen Mother said, "Call the Queen to me!"
Princess Qiyang said, "Mother, please don't get too angry. Just pretend you don't know about this..."
The Queen Mother looked at her daughter in astonishment.
Princess Qiyang said, "Princess Qingning didn't ask to keep this secret from you and me, she just didn't want the Queen to know. I think she was just teasing Yaoguang on purpose. It's better to keep things simple."
The Queen Mother felt that something was wrong with her daughter.
Princess Qiyang said, "Even if Princess Qingning has some motive, she wouldn't dare to do it if you knew about it."
The Queen Mother was already in poor health, and after Princess Qi Yang persuaded her, she gave up.
Princess Yaoguang, on the other hand, was not convinced. On the way out of the palace, she asked, "Why is mother speaking for Princess Qingning?"
Princess Qiyang said, "Perhaps Princess Qingning is really here to investigate Prince Jin's case..."
Yaoguang County Master didn't believe it, "How is this possible?"
There were some things that Princess Qi Yang did not dare to tell the Queen Mother, let alone Princess Yao Guang.
Before the eldest son-in-law disappeared, he suspected that the death of Prince Jin was related to Queen Song. When he was looking for evidence, there was no news of him, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Four years...
Her husband has been missing for four years.
