Chapter 202 This is impossible
"That's impossible!"
Song Yi's legs went weak, and she almost crashed into the carriage behind her.
Fortunately, Zilan reacted quickly and caught her.
Song Hui chuckled smugly, "It's not my fault, sister. She rarely goes out and isn't well-informed."
I heard about it today at the Han family's house. They said Consort Shu was poisoned, nearly killing herself and her unborn child, and only Ke'er was found at the scene.
"Sigh, I'm not trying to criticize your sister, but it's one thing for you to spoil Ke'er on ordinary days, but how come she doesn't behave properly at all when she's in the palace?"
His Majesty currently has only five princesses and no princes yet, so it goes without saying how important the imperial heir in Consort Shu's womb is.
Ke'er has committed such a grave mistake, tsk tsk, I'm afraid His Majesty will be furious, and my sister's entire family will likely suffer."
Song Hui looked worried, but she didn't try to hide her voice.
For a moment, the people around Song Yi looked at her with a hint of sympathy.
Even worse, they kept their distance from Song Yi, as if they were afraid that getting too close would implicate them.
Song Yi had no time to pay attention to the expressions of those around her; her mind was in turmoil, and her face was as pale as paper.
The thought of her daughter possibly being in danger made her so panicked that she could hardly stand, and tears kept welling up in her eyes!
Calm down, Song Yi. You're not the same person who only knew how to cry anymore!
She took deep breaths and told herself to calm down.
Kerr is so smart, she'll be fine.
By the way, Ke'er is also protected by a fairy godmother, so nothing will happen to her!
Thinking of the fairy grandmother, Song Yi felt as if she had grasped a lifeline, and her panicked heart finally calmed down a little.
He glared at Song Hui through gritted teeth, his voice icy.
"Song Hui, don't force me to slap you here! If you dare to spread another rumor and slander my Ke'er, I will never forgive you!"
Song Hui's face froze, then she lowered her eyes, feigning grievance.
"I only want what's best for you, sister, so I wanted to prepare you in advance. If you don't believe me, that's fine too."
If I were you, I wouldn't be foolishly waiting here; I would rush back and think of a solution.
"Shut up!"
Song Yi raised her hand and slapped her hard, her eyes red and brimming with anger.
"My Ke'er would never do anything unruly, much less harm Long Si. She will be fine!"
"Song Hui, if you utter another word of nonsense, it won't just be this slap!"
Song Yi slapped Song Hui with all her might, leaving five clear handprints on her face instantly.
Song Hui's face turned ashen.
She hadn't expected Song Yi to dare to make a move in front of so many noble ladies, and for a moment she wanted nothing more than to tear Song Yi apart.
But she didn't want to give others something to talk about in front of everyone, so she suppressed her anger and covered her face to cry in grievance.
"I said these things only because I care about Ke'er and to remind my sister that I am Ke'er's aunt. What bad intentions could I possibly have?"
Why is my sister treating me like this? Everything I said is the truth; if you don't believe me, that's fine too.
Song Yi looked at her coldly and said, word by word, "I don't believe a single word you've said."
"Well said!"
A voice came from the crowd.
Song Yi looked up and saw Mrs. Wang walking over through the crowd.
His willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his silver-plated face was full of anger.
"No one has come out of the palace yet, and we still don't know what happened there. We never expected that Madam Zhao would be so powerful that she even knew about Consort Shu's pregnancy."
She even claimed with absolute certainty that Miss Li poisoned Consort Shu. With such precise information, how many spies did Madam Zhao plant in the palace?
Song Hui's expression changed.
"Young Madam Wang, please be careful with your words. There are no spies or informants whatsoever!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Mrs. Wang raised an eyebrow, her expression a half-smile.
"How come none of us knew about what happened in the palace? Madam Zhao knew first?"
He turned to the ladies around him, "Do you know what happened in the palace?"
The crowd avoided eye contact and shook their heads.
Even if you know, you have to pretend you don't know at this point!
Otherwise, they would be accused of planting spies in the palace.
Song Hui's face turned pale.
"Madam Wang, you've misunderstood. I... I only heard it from someone else."
Mrs. Wang scoffed, "Who told you that?"
"Of course..."
Song Hui stopped speaking abruptly.
At this time, it's naturally best not to mention the Han family, otherwise it would bring trouble upon them.
She stammered, "I just overheard someone say it."
Mrs. Wang sneered.
"In other words, you are not sure if the message is true or false, and you are using an uncertain message to scare your own sister."
And you keep saying it's for her own good? Do you think everyone else is stupid?
"I……"
Song Hui was rendered speechless by the backlash, her face turning a riot of colors, from purple to green.
Song Yi looked at Madam Wang gratefully, held her hand and thanked her.
"...If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Mrs. Wang held her hand and comforted her with a smile.
"Don't worry, Ke'er will be fine."
Hearing this, Song Yi felt much more at ease.
Song Hui watched coldly from the side, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
Ah, she clearly heard news from the palace before she left the Han family.
Consort Shu was poisoned, and the imperial heir was in danger. Li Nanke was standing next to Consort Shu at the time.
When she left the Han family, she heard that His Majesty was already personally trying Li Nanke.
They might announce Li Nanke's crimes when they come out later!
Song Yi will cry later!
She couldn't wait to see Song Yi's despair when the sky fell down!
The Han family said that Wanqing performed well in the morning exam, and Xueting was not selected again, so Wanqing will most likely be selected!
Thinking about all this, Song Hui couldn't contain her excitement, as if the wealth and glory she had always dreamed of were already beckoning to her.
At this moment, someone exclaimed.
"They're out! They're out!"
A palace attendant dressed in light green robes walked out of the palace, followed by a group of young girls.
Everyone's spirits lifted, and they instinctively widened their eyes to search for their daughters.
Song Yi looked again and again, but still couldn't see Li Nanke. Suddenly, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Song Hui's eyes lit up when she saw Zhao Wanqing standing in front of her.
He then turned and scanned the area, confirming that Li Nanke was not there, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Sister, do you believe me now? Ke'er is probably in trouble by now."
No, that won't happen.
Song Yi murmured absentmindedly, then hurriedly got up, wanting to grab the eunuch and ask him questions.
The eunuch stepped forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Madam Wang, Madam Song, Miss Wang, and Miss Li for being chosen as companions to Princess Zhaokang."
Song Yi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
The joy wasn't that Li Nanke was going to be the princess's companion, but rather that this congratulations meant Ke'er was safe and sound!
Her eyes welled up with tears of joy.
Song Hui stared in astonishment, her eyes wide, and exclaimed, "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
How could Li Nanke possibly have been chosen as the princess's companion?
"Where's Wanqing? Father-in-law, has my Wanqing been chosen?"
Song Hui pulled the eunuch aside and asked anxiously.
The eunuch opened her hand and tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Madam Zhao, His Majesty also gave an oral decree to Miss Zhao."
Song Hui was overjoyed.
It must be Wanqing who was chosen!
