Chen Yunniang then asked, "Is there any other news?"
"How are things going with the Lu family?"
"Especially Su Yujiao, what's she up to?"
The scout reported truthfully, recounting the matter of the imperial decree for divorce.
"What? You're saying she took a jade pendant?"
"Do you know what kind of jade pendant it is?" Chen Yunniang stood up nervously.
“I couldn’t see clearly, but I know she said that it was originally her jade pendant and did not belong to the Lu family.”
"What else did you say? The more details the better."
When Chen Yunniang heard Su Yujiao say, "If you remember everything from the past, you'll know that I saved you time and time again,"
"how so?"
"Why would she suddenly remember everything from the past?"
Has she regained her memory?
It must be true, otherwise she wouldn't have said that the jade was originally hers, nor would she have said that she saved Lu Ziqian time and time again.
Does she also know whoever possesses the Dragon-Snake Jade is the Holy Maiden?
what to do?
What should we do?
The scout noticed that she suddenly became restless and asked in confusion, "Holy Maiden, what's wrong?"
Hearing the scout's shouts, Chen Yunniang tried to calm herself down; it was precisely in times like these that she needed to remain calm.
She couldn't panic; only by calming down could she think of a solution.
If she were Su Yujiao, what would happen to her after she regained her memories?
They will definitely take the Dragon-Snake Jade to Nan Sheng and expose her fake saintess identity.
Then control her and imprison her, preventing her from harming her with the Mother-Child Gu.
No, don't!
The mere thought of becoming Su Yujiao's prisoner drove her to the brink of madness.
She's destined to be an empress, she doesn't want to be a prisoner!
what to do?
How can we stop her from telling Nan Sheng the truth?
Should we ask the prince for help? He's so clever, he'll surely have a solution.
Yes, go find the prince!
"Holy Maiden, where are you going?"
"I need to see the Prince; I have something very important to discuss with him."
The scout frowned: "Holy Maiden, you cannot leave the palace now."
Yes, the matter of the dragon robe is still under investigation. She is the prime suspect, and the Emperor has temporarily forbidden her and Nan Sheng from leaving the palace.
However, the palace does not restrict outsiders from entering, so Su Yujiao can still see Nan Sheng.
Why didn't she come? Was she held up by the Golden Peony matter?
In that case, she should thank Princess Qinghe for breaking Jin Mudan's leg; otherwise, Su Yujiao would probably have already met Nan Sheng.
Her mind was a jumbled mess, wandering aimlessly without any clear direction.
Seeing that she seemed uneasy, the scout said, "If the Holy Maiden truly has something important to tell the Prince, I can relay it or deliver a message on her behalf."
Chen Yunniang shook her head without even thinking. She was joking; she wouldn't dare tell any person in the Southern Frontier Kingdom that she wasn't a saintess.
Even writing letters isn't safe. These spies are all Nan Sheng's subordinates, not truly loyal to her. Who knows if they might steal and open her letters?
"No need."
Chen Yunniang noticed the spy looking at her strangely, and tried her best to remain calm in order not to give herself away.
"Go on, tell me where Su Yujiao went, what she did, and who she met after leaving the General's Mansion?"
The scout recounted the series of accidents Su Yujiao had encountered, and also mentioned the barbecue they had that evening to celebrate their divorce.
"What does Your Highness want with her?"
"The prince seems to want to marry her, and even said he was willing to depose the princess for her, and even said that he would make Su Yujiao the empress in the future."
"What?"
Chen Yunniang could no longer sit still. She stood up abruptly, her face pale with excitement.
He only flirted with other women, but his love for Su Yujiao was genuine.
Chen Yunniang gritted her teeth in hatred, her palms bleeding from being pinched, yet she felt no pain whatsoever.
At this moment, all she could feel was hatred, an overwhelming hatred, hatred for Su Yujiao!
That bitch, why does she always steal her man?!
Previously, they stole Lu Ziqian!
Now that she has finally given up on Lu Ziqian, she has turned to love another man.
But that bitch Su Yujiao immediately divorced Lu Ziqian and then came back to steal her man.
You bitch, you bitch, why do you have to go against her?!
This time, she will definitely not let that bitch succeed.
The prince is mine, and the empress's position is mine too; no one can take them away from me.
After getting angry, Chen Yunniang suddenly became frighteningly calm; as long as she calmed down, her mind could resume its thinking.
Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Your Highness, I've overheard some gossip, saying... saying..."
Li Jianjia was trying on a phoenix hairpin in front of the bronze mirror when she asked, somewhat uncomfortably, "What did you say? Why are you stammering?"
"This servant dares not say."
"Speak, and I will pardon you."
The maidservant stammered, "Some people say that the prince wants to depose you and marry Lady Su as his principal wife, and that he will promise her the title of empress in the future."
Snap!
Li Jianjia angrily threw down the phoenix hairpin in her hand. This phoenix hairpin was her favorite, but she dared not wear it and could only secretly try it on in front of the mirror.
After all, only the Empress can wear a phoenix hairpin; if a princess were to wear it, it would be an act of usurpation.
But she believed that one day she would be able to wear the phoenix hairpin openly and become the most honored woman in the Great Ming Kingdom.
Now, someone wants to take everything away from her; how can she tolerate that?
"Who told you that?"
The little maid knelt on the ground, trembling with fear: "I heard it from Cherry."
"Cherry heard it from her man."
"Li Wangcai?"
"Um."
Li Wangcai is the steward's son. They are all servants born into the Li family and loyal servants she brought from her maternal home.
Cherry was her second-class maid, who had recently been betrothed to Li Wangcai as his wife.
"Go and call Li Wangcai here."
"yes."
Li Wangcai was quick-witted and knew what the princess wanted to ask. Before she could speak, he blurted out everything he knew.
"It's my turn to clean the horse manure today, but I suddenly feel unwell, so I thought I'd ask Xiao Fuzi to help me clean it."
"As a result, Xiao Fuzi scolded the servant for being a bully who was taking advantage of the fact that the servant was a member of the princess's family and bullied them all day long."
"I'm innocent! I've never bullied them."
Li Jianjia said impatiently, "Get to the point."
Li Wangcai quickly said, "Not only did Xiao Fuzi not help, but he also kept cursing at the servant. The servant couldn't help but kick him."
"He threatened the servants, saying that after you are deposed, let's see if the servants still dare to be arrogant. He will definitely beat the servants to a pulp."
“I thought he had cursed you, so I wanted to drag him before you to settle the matter.”
“He said these words himself. He even ate the roasted meat made by that Lady Su with the prince and said that Lady Su is much prettier than you.”
Li Jianjia kicked Li Wangcai over: "You dare to order around the eunuchs that the prince brought from the palace?"
Li Wangcai felt guilty: "He...he's not the prince's personal eunuch. He's just a lowly eunuch who cleans toilets."
"Who knew that he would end up serving her personally these past two days?"
