Chapter 75 The Evil Concubine?
"In my opinion, two thousand taels of silver, plus a box of rare treasures, the fifty taels of interest is still too little, and another twenty taels should be added."
Shen Yuning stepped forward and added in a gentle voice.
Her lowered eyes fell on Lin Xue's face, and a sharp flash flashed in her eyes.
She remembered that Lin You said in her heart that night that the man Shen Wen found was Lin Xue's brother.
And Lin Xue once checked her pulse, maybe this matter has something to do with Lin Xue.
Facing Shen Yuning's somewhat hostile eyes, Lin Xue immediately turned away and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Pan Gui had already told her that the plan of the prince and Pan Gui had failed. Now the princess looked at her like this, it was obvious that she might have suspected her.
At first, she also met the prince by chance. Seeing that he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, she thought of taking this opportunity to test his bottom line so as to get him on the right track.
Unexpectedly, the prince was worried about infertility, so she took his pulse, and later also took the pulse of the eldest princess. She found that the eldest princess was not seriously ill, but the prince had some kidney deficiency.
Looking through Lin He's handwritten records, men with kidney deficiency would affect fertility, so she boldly told the prince this idea.
The prince naturally didn't believe it at first. Lin Xue told him directly that if he didn't believe it, he could try other women. After several acupuncture treatments, the prince really found a woman to experiment.
The first one didn't work, so he didn't believe it. The second one didn't believe it either, and he still didn't believe it with the third one. It wasn't until he found another man and slept with two of the women that he believed it after the two women became pregnant.
After that, he began to panic. He was afraid that if the world knew that he, a prince, could not pass on his family line, they would criticize him, so he would ask her for advice.
Lin Xue naturally would not miss this opportunity to win him over, so she used the method he had used before to recommend Pan Gui to him.
The reason was that Pan Gui was her younger brother, and she could guarantee that Pan Gui would not talk nonsense. Moreover, Pan Gui had been working in the countryside for many years and had a very good physique. So the child born would definitely be very healthy, and Pan Gui's facial features would also be regular.
Just like that, after several struggles, the prince brought Pan Gui back home, but what she didn't know was that the time chosen by the prince was the day when the princess held a gourmet banquet.
If she knew, she would definitely try to stop him several times.
After all, there is this mysterious person Lin You.
She finally discovered that Lin You has changed, he has completely changed.
He has changed very strangely.
Obviously, her and the prince's plan had been progressing smoothly and flawlessly before, but recently, her and the prince's plan would always be cracked by Lin You.
It's like the two people playing chess have become chess pieces on the chessboard, and the original chess piece Lin You has become the person playing chess.
So every step will be ruined by Lin You.
"Miss Lin Xue, everyone has left, get up."
Concubine Chan looked at Lin Xue, who was still crawling, as if she had lost her soul, with disdain on her face, but she still bent over and helped her up.
Although Lin You did not suffer any setbacks at today's banquet, she gained the limelight and the emperor treated her even better.
However, after this incident, she was sure that Lin Xue and Lin You were really at odds with each other, and that Lin Xue, Prince Yu, and Lin You seemed to have some kind of improper relationship.
This was very important for her to bring down Lin You.
Lin Xue stood up, bowed softly to Concubine Chan, and said with pursed lips: "I'm sorry to disappoint your majesty. Lin Xue failed to bring that woman down."
"It doesn't matter. You've done a good job. You witch, how can you be so combative?"
Concubine Chan smiled, without a trace of displeasure.
Lin Xue suddenly raised her eyes to look at her, "Your Majesty, do you also think that the noble concubine is not right?"
"Huh." Concubine Chan made a gesture to keep quiet, and took Lin Xue to the house.
--Lin
You and Shen Jing'an had not walked far when Shen Yuning came over and said that she wanted to talk to Shen Jing'an. The brother and sister went to the pavilion in the Yu Garden to talk, while Lin You could only admire the flowers and wait in the garden.
Looking at the depressed princess in front of him, Shen Jing'an spoke first, "How did you solve the matter with the prince?"
The two had not seen each other for a long time, which made Shen Jing'an feel a little awkward.
He wanted to call the imperial sister, but he couldn't.
Shen Yuning shook her head, with a bitter smile on her gentle and beautiful face, "No big deal."
Hearing this, Shen Jing'an felt relieved.
"It's just that, these few days, please ask the emperor to arrange a job for the prince, let him leave the mansion for a few days, I need to go out to do something, if he stays in the mansion, it will be inconvenient."
The prince did not have too many requirements for the official position. He had no martial arts and was average in literature. His position was just an idle one, so he had so much time to accompany Shen Yuning and those women outside.
In the past, Shen Yuning didn't think it was a big deal, but now it seems that Shen Wen actually relied on him being the son-in-law, her rich dowry, and the big tree of the queen mother behind him to live such a comfortable life without any ambition.
In fact, the Prince's Mansion has long been an empty shell, and has always lived on her dowry.
Now the Prince has become obsessed with the issue of children. He will never agree to divorce, and he has threatened her before. If she makes trouble again, he will divorce her for no reason, and then she won't be able to take any of her dowry with her.
As for the dowry, with her mother and brother around, it will never fall into his hands.
However, what she cares about is her reputation, the reputation of the eldest princess of the royal family.
From ancient times to the present, if a couple has no children, it is only the woman who has a problem, and there is no precedent of the man having a problem. If the Prince said so, everyone would certainly believe his lies.
Thus making her a laughing stock of the royal family.
Therefore, she couldn't let Shen Jing'an issue an imperial decree for divorce yet. She had to find those women, expose the shameless behavior of the prince, and his infertility, so that everyone could see his true face. Only then could she escape unscathed and not damage the reputation of the royal family.
"Okay."
Shen Jing'an saw the calmness and tenacity in Shen Yuning's eyes, and knew that she must have her own ideas, so he was completely relieved.
Hearing his response, Shen Yuning pulled back her thoughts, inadvertently glimpsed the figure in the garden, and smiled slightly: "Yougui Concubine is very good, Your Majesty, you must cherish her."
Shen Jing'an was stunned for a moment by this sudden sentence, and his eyes turned to the woman who was lying under the blossom tree and eating fruit not far away.
"She is not the same person as before. Your Majesty, please don't blame her for the mistakes she made in the past and let her suffer undeserved disasters."
Shen Jing'an's eyes moved slightly.
Yes, she is not that person. She has never done anything to let him down, and she has never thought of harming him. Instead, she has to complete the mission, renew his life value, and save him.
"If the imperial sister finds out that you let her work as a clerk and don't give her food to eat, don't blame the imperial sister for taking out the killer mace."
Shen Jing'an's handsome expression suddenly darkened. As
soon as the words fell, Shen Yuning had already slipped away.
She looked as if she would be killed if she stayed any longer.
