Chapter 263 The Man Behind the Scenes



Shen Yuerong had said so much, so Concubine Xi naturally followed her words.

At the same time, I secretly made up my mind that I would never listen to other people's nonsense in the future.

Just like what Shen Yuerong said, she and Shen Yuerong are a family, and everyone else is just an outsider.

Even those people want to exaggerate it and make fun of themselves.

At this time, she found Shen Yuerong more and more pleasing to the eye.

When Chi Mu heard that Concubine Xi had returned from the General's Mansion and asked Shen Yuerong to go, he couldn't help but worry.

He naturally understood his mother. Not only was she simple-minded, but she also did many things without thinking.

As dusk fell, Chi Mu anxiously stepped into the courtyard, only to see Shen Yuerong and Concubine Xi sitting together in harmony for dinner.

The usually arrogant Concubine Xi actually smiled and picked up food for Shen Yuerong, and she looked like she wanted to bring the best to Shen Yuerong.

Chi Mu paused, feeling confused.

What is going on?

Shen Yuerong noticed the gaze, looked up, and after finding that it was Chi Mu, she smiled and greeted him.

"Your Highness is back. Come over and pay your respects to Mother. Mother is so kind that she specially asked the imperial chef to prepare a table of food for us. I have never tasted such delicious food before."

Chi Mu strode closer, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Yuerong, his eyes full of teasing.

That look seemed to say - are you really not kidding?

Shen Yuerong's eyebrows curved, "What are you looking at, Your Majesty? Sit down quickly, don't waste your mother's kindness."

Chi Mu naturally cooperated and sat down, and started eating with Shen Yuerong.

He asked in a low voice: "What's going on? I just heard that mother wants to make trouble for you."

Shen Yuerong covered her eyes with her handkerchief and answered in a low voice.

"It's all right now. My husband, please be nicer to your mother in the future. Don't waste my hard work in comforting you."

Although Chi Mu didn't understand what was going on, he still cooperated with what Shen Yuerong said.

He raised his eyes and picked up a piece of food for Concubine Xi with an indifferent expression.

Concubine Xi was immediately flattered and started eating with red eyes.

Shen Yuerong was right. As long as she did what she said, Chi Mu would treat her much better.

And Shen Yuerong looked at Concubine Xi like this and smiled faintly.

As long as she didn't make trouble, Shen Yuerong would treat her respectfully like a mother.

But if we want to completely change Concubine Xi, we can't be too hasty about it and need to take it step by step.

Night fell over the palace, and lanterns illuminated the corridor floor.

Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu walked side by side, like an old couple taking a slow stroll.

Chi Mu put his arm around Shen Yuerong's shoulders, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Mother has always been stubborn. I wonder how Rong'er managed to do it?"

Shen Yuerong replied with a faint smile.

"Everyone has something they care about the most. As long as you hit that spot and give her the greatest satisfaction and love, she will slowly become better."

“It’s like growing flowers.”

Chi Mu seemed to understand Shen Yuerong's description, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Thank you for your hard work, Rong'er. I just heard from mother that you are going to hold a banquet in a few days. Is there something wrong at the clinic?"

Shen Yuerong didn't expect Chi Mu to be so sharp and guess what happened.

So Shen Yuerong told Chi Mu about the matter of the Prime Minister's wife.

After Chi Mu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his deep eyes.

"I have heard that the Prime Minister's wife was ill before, but I didn't expect that she was poisoned. This Yi Meng doesn't look right. How could a prostitute get such a powerful poison?"

"unless……"

Chi Mu turned his head and looked at Shen Yuerong, and they both spoke in unison.

"Unless there is another person behind this."

“——Prince!!”

At the same time, they both thought of the scheming prince.

Shen Yuerong looked a little more serious and spoke again.

"If Yimeng is really the prince's person, then everything makes sense."

"My dear, I have always had a guess in my mind. Is it possible that the prince has planted people similar to Yimeng in many government offices in the capital?"

Chi Mu's expression also became serious, "Don't rule out this possibility."

"Rong'er, don't worry. I will send someone to investigate based on this clue. As for the banquet, you can leave it to Taohua."

Shen Yuerong took Chi Mu's arm, walked forward, and answered with a smile.

"I'm afraid we don't have to worry about the banquet. Mother said she will prepare it."

Chi Mu expressed doubts about this, but he did not say it out loud.

After all, in his mind, Concubine Xi has always been a simple-minded and unreliable person.

Things like hosting a banquet were probably beyond her ability to accomplish on her own. It looked like she would need to arrange someone to supervise Concubine Xi at all times.

The next morning, Shen Yuerong went out early to open the clinic.

An unexpected guest arrived early in the morning.

Old Madam Fu stood in front of Shen Yuerong wearing a cone hat, with a sneer on her face.

"Now I have to call you Princess Madam. I wonder if you were scolded when you went back yesterday?"

she? , waiting for the expression on Shen Yuerong's face to break.

But unexpectedly, Shen Yuerong was still as cold and aloof as usual, and spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Thanks to you, I didn't get scolded yesterday. Instead, I had dinner with my mother-in-law. She even picked some food for me and gave me a lot of jewelry."

Now it was Madam Fu's turn to break down.
