Chapter 238: Shupin's House Arrest Released

Thinking of this, Lin suddenly became much more sober, and when she looked at He Yong, she no longer had that hatred in her heart.

He just lowered his head and said "yes".

But his eyes were filled with disappointment and loneliness.

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Minister He calmed down and said, "Send Yunyao back to her hometown in a few days."

When Lin heard this, he raised his head in fear again: "Master?"

He Yong's tone was much gentler this time, and he even walked up to Lin and helped her up. "Now the Third Prince is using Yun Yao's matter to control me. If I let Yun Yao stay in the capital, I don't know how difficult my life will be in the future."

"In addition to Yun Yao, we also have her brother!"

Minister He's last words finally crushed the Lin family.

Yes, besides this daughter, she also has a son!

You can't ruin your son because of your daughter's mistakes.

After a long silence, Lin did not answer, but pushed open the door of the study and went to her own yard.

In the end, it was the last words from the nanny beside her that broke Lin down.

The nanny told Lin that He Yuyao had been to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

"Hasn't she cut off contact with the Anguo Mansion for many years? Why would she suddenly go there?" Lin was naturally surprised, but because of what He Yong had just said to her, she didn't change her mind for a while.

"Perhaps it was Pei Xian's death anniversary, and she contacted the young master Pei again."

The nanny came to Lin's side and whispered, "I have inquired about it. The eldest lady went to the palace first yesterday, and then went to the Anguo Mansion with Master Pei."

Lin shook his head frantically, trying to clear his mind.

But his mind was completely filled with what Minister He had just said: "Forget it, forget about this for now, you can leave first, I will be quiet for a while."

The nanny looked at Lin's expression and didn't dare to say anything. She just retreated quietly.

Song Qingyan was not idle here, and the Queen was also very busy.

Because the second princess' wedding is less than half a month away, the queen has also entered the final stage of preparation.

The Emperor of Great Chu was not very concerned about this matter, so the Empress did not plan to discuss anything with him.

What's more, the question that the Emperor of Great Chu suddenly asked a few days ago was really shocking. It would be better for me not to touch his bad spots.

So Shen Ning thought about it and went to the Queen Mother's Rongle Palace.

Since the Empress Dowager fell ill a few days ago because of the Sixth Princess, few concubines have come to pay their respects to her.

So when Shen Ning came, Rongle Palace became lively again, which was a rare occasion.

"Don't worry, mother. The Sixth Princess is now very well-behaved in Jinxiu Palace." But Shen Ning was not stupid. If she said that the Sixth Princess was naughty and mischievous in the Empress Dowager's Palace, but became well-behaved after running to the Empress's Palace, wouldn't that be an allusion to the Empress Dowager's incompetence?

So Shen Ning brought up the matter in the next sentence: "There is a new maid in my palace. She used to serve Concubine De. Now she is taking care of the Sixth Princess. I think it is because of Concubine De's face that the Sixth Princess is very well-behaved now."

"The one beside Concubine De?" The Queen Mother seemed a little confused.

"It is said that her former name was Bai Zhi, but now she has been renamed Bai Ling in my palace." Shen Ning is not Yun Lan, who would be deceived by Bai Ling. He had already asked someone to investigate her.

The Queen Mother naturally had an impression of Bai Zhi, so she just nodded and said nothing more.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

The Queen quickly explained her purpose: "My mother is not feeling well, so I shouldn't bother her."

"But since this is about the Second Princess' marriage, I think I should ask my mother for her opinion."

The Queen Mother had been pretending to be sick in the Palace of Honor for some time, so she naturally didn't know: "Xingxue's wedding date has been set? When is it?"

"The Qin Tianjian calculated that the ninth day of next month is a good day."

"That's great!" The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. "The children are all safe now. I am relieved."

After saying this, the Queen Mother looked at Shen Ning again: "What do you want to ask, Your Majesty?"

"There's nothing else to say, but I was thinking that Shupin is the second princess's biological mother after all. Was Shupin released from house arrest on the day of the second princess's wedding?" Shen Ning asked tentatively.

The reason she had such an idea was that some time ago, she secretly went to Zhuhua Palace to meet Shupin.

Although Shupin was ordered by His Majesty to be confined to Zhuhua Palace, after all, there was the Seventh Princess by her side, so she could not be treated harshly.

Therefore, there is no skimping on food, clothing and other daily necessities.

Moreover, Yun Guiren, who used to live in the side hall of Zhuhua Palace, had been ordered to be beaten to death by the Emperor of Great Chu.

In this huge Zhuhua Palace, only Concubine Shu was left.

She would take the seventh princess to play in the yard on a daily basis.

When the Queen arrived, she happened to meet Shupin sitting on the corridor nearby, looking at the Seventh Princess in the yard with tender eyes.

The months of house arrest seemed to have smoothed her temper.

The heavy palace door was pushed open from the outside, and Shupin sat in the corridor and looked towards the door.

Although Shupin had never attended the ceremony of Shen Ning's coronation as queen, she knew Concubine Ning and had naturally heard about her coronation from the palace maids a long time ago.

When he saw Shen Ning coming in from outside, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

But he reacted quickly and came to Shen Ning: "Greetings to the Queen."

Shen Ning just smiled and said, "You are quite clever."

But she didn't say anything else, just walked inside. Seeing her like this, Shupin hurriedly followed her.

But outside the main hall, Shen Ning suddenly stopped and said, "I have something to say to Concubine Shu, you guys wait outside!"

These words were spoken to Yueran and Yunlan who were following behind her, and naturally also to Shupin.

Shupin now had no one to rely on and had lost the favor of His Majesty, so how could she dare to compete with the Empress? She just smiled and turned around to look at the palace maids accompanying the Seventh Princess and said, "You guys play with the princess first."

Then he followed Shen Ning's footsteps and stepped into the main hall.

Shen Ning was unwilling to talk to her any more: "Madam Shu has been confined to the palace for a while. Is it hard for her?"

Shupin was about to say something when Shen Ning interrupted her again: "I do have an opportunity for Shupin, but I don't know if you are still willing to go out."

Of course Shupin was willing. She dreamed of regaining the emperor's favor, but when faced with the olive branch extended by the empress, she did not dare to accept it.

After all, it was because he accepted the olive branch extended by Concubine De that he suffered the misfortune he is facing today.

Seeing her hesitation, Shen Ning was not in a hurry. She just picked up the teacup in front of her and said softly: "I am not in a hurry, Shupin can think about it slowly."

Shupin looked at the empress in front of her with a calm face, and her mind began to work rapidly.

Everyone in the palace was saying that the reason why the Emperor of Great Chu made Shen Ning the queen was because Song Qingyan could not be crowned queen.

I heard that on the day the imperial edict came down, the Emperor of Great Chu gave Shen Ning a great embarrassment.
