Chapter 229 A Game

Having said that, she suddenly stood up and bowed to Jiang Wanrong, who was also listening in a daze.

This action frightened Jiang Wanrong so much that she knelt down on the spot.

"Your Highness, you are going to embarrass me."

Wu Qingyi performed this ceremony steadily before slowly standing up and helping Jiang Wanrong up.

"My child, this gift... does not come from the Queen Mother Wu Qingyi, but from a mother who feels guilty towards you.

It is said that an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. This gift is something that my Chu family owes you."

"Your Majesty... You don't have to do this."

After listening to the Grand Princess' story and looking at Wu Qingyi in front of her, Jiang Wanrong felt that the grudges in her heart had mostly disappeared.

Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. She should hate Chu Zhaohua.

But what can she do with a woman who lives on hatred?

Chu Lange was at a sentimental age, and after hearing this, she immediately burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu... Although my aunt is quite bad, she is also very pitiful!"

On the side, Little Wukong seemed to understand, and he couldn't help but tug at Chu Youning's sleeve: "Aunt...is this what Master meant by 'there must be something pitiful in a hateful person'?"

Seeing that everyone around was too silent, Chu Youning took a long breath. She raised her hand and pinched Little Wukong's face, making her voice sound more cheerful:

"Good job, kid. It seems that being forced to study in the palace is a good thing. Finally, you didn't say the wrong thing."

"But Aunt Su... your face is about to turn into a bear."

Little Wukong's eyebrows were squeezed into a caterpillar, and he was forced to utter a few words indistinctly.

"puff."

Chu Youning couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Qingyi and Jiang Wanrong looked over, their expressions softened a lot, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

"Let's go, let's get ready to go back."

Wu Qingyi put away the imperial edict and made a gesture to put it back.

Chu Youning spoke again at this time: "Mother, please let me keep this imperial edict. Who knows, maybe one day it can be delivered to its owner?"

Wu Qingyi paused, hesitated for a moment, and handed the imperial edict in his hand to her.

"Yu'er, you must not use it to provoke her...lest Zhaohua lose her mind and do something even more outrageous."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what I am doing."

Chu Youning nodded lightly.

She reached out and stuffed the imperial edict into her sleeve, thereby putting the thing into the space.

[It's not surprising that a woman who has been tortured and driven crazy would do something even crazier. I have to keep this imperial edict well. Who knows, it might be a life-saving straw someday.]

When they returned to Cining Palace, Lu Quan looked a little ugly.

He had an extra letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Princess has left. This is the letter she left for the Grand Princess."

Everyone's eyes fell on the letter.

Chu Youning reached out and took the envelope, on which were written in large letters: "Written by Chu Youning himself."

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

[As expected of a woman who was personally taught by my cheap grandfather, her handwriting is even better than Chu Wenzong's.]

Wu Qingyi looked at the words on the envelope with a complicated expression.

The word "Zhaohua" is as beautiful as it was back then, but... there is a hint of hostility in the strokes of the pen. It is definitely different from before.

Chu Youning opened the letter, and there was only one short line of words on it - I left the antidote here, dear niece, I played a game with the Yu Kingdom, you must work hard to survive~

In addition to the letter, there was a small medicine bag stuffed in the envelope.

In an instant, the faces of everyone present turned ugly again.

"My mother said that she has learned to play with insects. She wouldn't... do the same thing that Jia Lan did in the Imperial City, right?"

After hearing what Chu Youning said, Wu Qingyi looked even worse: "Notify everyone to strengthen the patrols in the capital. From today on, any illness found in the capital must be isolated and reported immediately!"

"yes!"

Luquan left quickly.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Wu Qingyi arranged for Su Xi to personally mix the medicine bag in Chu Youning's hand into a pot of tea, ensuring that everyone who came to celebrate for Chu Youning today would have a cup.

Everyone returned to the banquet and watched in silence as everyone finished their tea. Only then did they feel relieved for a while.

"Yu'er, you have been wronged in today's ceremony."

Wu Qingyi looked at Chu Youning, with deep regret in her eyes.

Chu Youning smiled softly and shook his head slightly.

"You don't have to worry too much, mother. Didn't my aunt give me a lot of gold, silver and jewelry? Why should I feel wronged?

And everyone knows that although Auntie can play, there is a limit to her ability, and she won’t go too far.”

"I hope so."

Wu Qingyi sighed helplessly.

Soon after, Little Wukong was the first to shake his head, and everyone watched as a small winged insect that was usually hard to notice flew down from his head.

Next, except for Chu Youning and Qing Qianxue, everyone else started to feel anxious.

As more and more small insects gathered, they looked more eye-catching. A small black ball flew out of the hall in the astonished eyes of several people, and then quickly disappeared.

At this point, Chu Youning was stunned.

"Why... doesn't my head itch? Where are my bugs?"
