It was already noon when Xu Wanyan received the news.
"Princess, is this true?"
Qiao Yun looked at Xu Wanyan in disbelief. Zhao Yaru, such a crazy person, was just... gone like this?
She felt like she was dreaming.
Xu Wanyan nodded, "This has been delivered, so it must be real."
Qiao Yun nodded slowly and finally said, "Princess, she deserved death. She deserved the retribution she received."
Xu Wanyan raised the corner of her mouth and said sarcastically, "What kind of retribution is this? In the final analysis, don't we still need to take revenge ourselves? Revenge is the only way to get revenge!"
Qiao Yun nodded heavily, "Princess, you are right. If God doesn't punish evil people like her, we will punish them ourselves."
Thinking of the poison she had smeared on the box that day, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Miss, is that poison really that powerful?"
Seeing her worried look, Xu Wanyan couldn't help but want to scare her, "Of course, that's a deadly poison that kills instantly. Just smelling it will kill you half of your life."
Qiao Yun's face turned pale instantly. "Then, what can I do? I couldn't help smelling it that day."
Seeing how scared she was, Xu Wanyan immediately gave up her intention to tease her. "Okay, I lied to you. However, if it wasn't prepared in advance, it would indeed have this effect. Mine is just a chronic one, so it's okay to just smell it."
After hearing this, Qiao Yun's expression slowly returned to normal. She couldn't help but pat her chest and said, "Miss, you scared me to death."
"This is a reminder for you. From now on, you don't have to smell even poison."
Qiao Yun nodded heavily, "I understand. I will never do such a stupid thing again."
"That's good to know. Go buy some offerings and come back to check later."
"Okay, will Your Majesty go back?"
The prince and the princess are inseparable all day long, and she is particularly curious whether the prince will go or not.
"He, don't go."
"Okay, I'll go get ready."
After Qiao Yun left, Xu Wanyan looked towards the direction of the palace. Xu Wanqing should have received the news by now, right?
"My Lady, My Lady, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."
Wanyu hurried into the room and interrupted Xu Wanqing who was dressing up.
She has been here for a few days, and it's time for her to meet Lin Yue'e.
After all, she really couldn't tolerate the fact that someone who should have died long ago was still occupying her position as Crown Princess.
"What's the matter? What's all the fuss?"
Looking at Xu Wanyu's clumsy behavior, Xu Wanqing's face turned completely cold.
Others may not know, but she knows better than anyone that this cousin is very smart. Now that she has entered the Eastern Palace, how could she be willing to be a palace maid?
Thinking of this, she lost her original enthusiasm.
"Cousin..."
"Um?"
"Oh, Madam, I was wrong. Something happened at home."
"What happened?"
Xu Wanqing slowly and gently hung the sapphire earrings on her ears. Looking at her bright face in the mirror, she smiled with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Xu Wanyu couldn't help but gloat and said, "My Lady, yes, something happened to my Third Aunt."
"Who? Who are you talking about?"
Xu Wanqing turned around suddenly and looked at Xu Wanyu without blinking.
"Yes, it's your mother, she... "
"What happened to her?"
Xu Wanqing couldn't sit there calmly anymore. She stood up and walked over to Xu Wanyu. "Explain it to me clearly. Don't hesitate."
"Yes, your mother is gone."
"No more?"
Xu Wanyu nodded, then supported Xu Wanqing and said, "Cousin, you must be strong and don't be too sad. Although Third Aunt has left, she definitely hopes that you will always be happy."
"You, you mean, my mother...is dead?"
Xu Wanyu's eyes were already filled with tears, and she nodded sadly, "When I was at the Xu family, Third Aunt took great care of me. Now that I heard the news, I almost didn't go with her. But when I thought of you, you should be even more sad, so, so..."
Before Xu Wanyu could finish her words, Xu Wanqing pushed her away and walked outside.
"My Lady, My Lady, where are you going?"
Xu Wanyu followed her.
Xu Wanqing came to the prince's bedroom, but only saw little Yunzi.
"Xiao Yunzi, where is Mu Han?"
Xiao Yunzi's eyes widened immediately. How could Xu Wanqing, who was usually extremely fawning, dare to address the Crown Prince by his name today?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the palace. He is out on business."
Xu Wanqing was extremely anxious, "When will he come back?"
Xiao Yunzi shook his head, "I don't know either."
Xu Wanqing's face suddenly darkened. "Xiao Yunzi, if I remember correctly, you are supposed to serve His Highness personally. Now that His Highness is away alone, haven't you neglected your duty?"
Xiao Yunzi was even more surprised. Xu Wanqing always smiled when she saw him before, and she was afraid that he would not say good things about her in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Now, what's going on?
Before he could figure it out, Xu Wanqing turned and walked out.
"My lady, where are you going?"
"Go to Zhengxi Palace."
Xiao Muchan was not in the palace, so if she wanted to go out, she could only find Lin Yue'e.
Xu Wanqing felt very upset. She never thought that her first meeting with Lin Yue'e would be under such circumstances.
But, her mother had always loved her the most, and before she could live a good life, something happened to her.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanqing's eyes turned red.
How could someone who was in such good health suddenly pass away?
As soon as she arrived at the gate of Zhengxi Palace, Xu Wanqing was stopped before she could enter.
"I want to see the Crown Princess!"
Xu Wanqing's words were powerful and resounding.
"The Crown Princess is busy, please go back."
"How dare you! I want to see the Crown Princess, how can you stop me?"
Everyone in Zhengxi Palace was shocked. How could the person in front of them become such a different person and speak with such a powerful voice?
One of the young eunuchs quickly ran in to report.
Lin Yue'e raised the corner of her mouth, "No!"
The young eunuch had no choice but to turn around and run out again.
"My lady, are you really gone?"
Xiaotao looked at Lin Yue'e with a little worry. They had already heard the news of Zhao Yaru's death.
Lin Yue'e shook her head. "I just won't see her. Isn't her reputation bad? Let her become even worse!"
Xiao Tao was helpless, the Crown Princess always had her own ideas.
However, if this happens, the feud with Xu Wanqing will probably be completely established.
"Lin Yue'e, why don't you see me? Are you feeling guilty?"
Lin Yue'e and Xiao Tao were originally planning to talk about other things, but they didn't expect Xu Wanqing to start shouting at the door.
Lin Yue'e's expression suddenly changed, "Go, drive her away!"
"yes!"
Xiaotao ran out in a panic.
“Bang!”
The teacup in her hand was thrown away, and Lin Yue'e's face looked better.
"Xiao Muhan, this is the only kind of taste you have. You actually chose such an idiot!"
