Chapter 18: The daughter of the prime minister becomes a concubine, Su Yurou is furious!
But before the prince could speak, Nan Zheng suddenly scolded Liu in a cold voice:
"How dare you insult the Regent Lord's mother-in-law! Who gave you the guts? Who else do you want to punish, you shrew? Isn't the lesson you taught me enough?"
Only then did Liu remember that people from the Regent's Palace were always there. She was so scared that her legs went limp and she shut up on the spot.
The Queen and the Crown Prince both paused, exchanged glances, and finally endured it.
After all, now is not the time to turn against the Regent.
"My Lady," the Imperial Master reminded in a low voice, "You need the sincere help of the Heavenly Phoenix to become a true dragon."
The queen finally remembered the most important thing, and immediately regained her composure, saying kindly:
"Alright, all of you listen to me."
"What Yun Zhiping did was wrong, but we are family after all, so we should give him a chance to mend his ways. Why not let him return what he took and pay a fine as an apology? I will make up for the part he can't pay, and then we can let this matter go."
"After all, the prince is going to marry Bai Lian as his principal wife. If her family is kicked out of the house, it will be shameful for the prince. How about this matter be used to give face to the royal family?"
The Queen said such nice things. Yan Jinghua and Old Man Yun exchanged glances and nodded.
It was already known that Yun Zhiping was extravagant and had no business acumen. His current private property could not make up for the losses from embezzlement. Unexpectedly, the Queen was willing to pay for him, which was actually a good thing for her family.
Yun Zhiping and his family of three breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the queen flattered, and felt proud again.
Yun Bailian glanced at Yun Qingqing, sneered in his heart, and wait and see!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne in the future! When the time comes, I, the Crown Princess, will become the Queen and the mother of a country!
You are just a princess who is so ugly that she is disgraceful to be seen, what do you think you are!
…
On the second day, the emperor indeed issued another decree to grant marriage.
The whole city knows that the prince will marry the second daughter of the Yun family as his principal wife, and the most talented woman in the capital and the daughter of the prime minister's family will become a concubine!
Yun Qingqing accompanied her mother in drinking medicinal tea. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and listened to Qiao'er's report with a smile on her face while eating them.
"...I heard that Su Yurou was so angry that she blocked the door of the prince's mansion to ask for an explanation, but she didn't even see the prince!"
When Qiao'er reached this point in a vivid and colorful manner, she suddenly frowned and pursed her lips.
"The guards at the Crown Prince's Mansion said that the Crown Prince took Yun Bailian on a boat trip! I don't know what kind of luck she had, she was suddenly chosen to be the Crown Princess... Qiao'er feels so sorry for the young lady!"
Yun Qingqing spat out the melon seed shells nonchalantly and sneered:
"That's not necessary. It's not good luck at all. It's more like she has the worst bad luck."
That scumbag has done so many evil things and is almost dead, but he still comes here to drag Yun Bailian into trouble. This is really wonderful.
Qiao'er was confused. Yun Qingqing didn't explain and grabbed another handful of melon seeds:
"Keep talking. Miss Su is not a pushover. Isn't there going to be fun to watch this time?"
Qiao'er shook her head in confusion:
"Miss Su did want to go to the lake to look for someone again, but Prime Minister Su suddenly rushed over and stopped her. Strangely enough, I don't know what the Prime Minister said to her, but she went back obediently and didn't make a fuss again."
Yun Qingqing looked at her mother.
"Hehe, Prime Minister Su seems to love his only daughter, but in the final analysis, he is just using her as a tool to fight for power." Yan Jinghua curled her lips sarcastically.
Yun Qingqing deeply agreed with this. Prime Minister Su and the Crown Prince were birds of a feather. What was the big deal about sacrificing her daughter's position as the principal wife for the sake of serving the emperor?
But at the same time, she had a feeling that there was something else behind the prince's decision to marry Yun Bailian as his principal wife.
But never mind, it’s best to lock up those scumbags and bitches. Not letting them harm others is the greatest contribution you can make to the world.
"Having said that, the medicinal herbs sent by the Regent are indeed effective. Mother is feeling much better now. And I see that your face looks much better than yesterday." Yan Jinghua said with relief.
Yun Qingqing smiled but said nothing.
What that guy sent were naturally all good things, but if I hadn’t done it myself, even ten Doctor Tangs wouldn’t be able to achieve such a therapeutic effect.
The next few days were uneventful.
In addition to preparing various medicinal herbs every day, Yun Qingqing also spends a lot of time drawing talismans.
She explained to her grandfather and mother that she had learned these from ancient books she had come across by chance when she was confined indoors. She had never expected that her amazing talent would actually come in handy.
Although the two found it hard to believe, they did not pursue her and just let her go.
The second family seemed to be much more obedient these days, but every night Yun Bailian would flatter them by serving them an exquisite midnight snack to "apologize" to Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing accepted it all and ate it all in front of Yun Bailian, pretending not to see the viciousness in her eyes.
Until the seventh day of "Daily Poison".
When Yun Bailian delivered the midnight snack, she suddenly discovered that Yun Qingqing was wearing a veil.
"...Sister, why did you suddenly cover your face?" Yun Bailian seemed surprised, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
"It's nothing. I just caught a cold and can't see the wind. Put your things down and you can go." Yun Qingqing's voice was a little irritable.
Yun Bailian suppressed the smile on her face, put down the plate, and said with pretended concern:
"Sister, if you're not feeling well, would you like me to get a doctor to see you?"
"No need! You can go down!" Yun Qingqing's voice became even colder.
"...Okay then, sister, you must take care of yourself." Yun Bailian left with satisfaction.
Oh, damn Yun Qingqing is not only ugly but also stupid!
This time, the poison would not only prevent her face from healing forever, but it would also be impossible to eradicate it even after taking it for half a month!
By then, her face will gradually rot and spread to her whole body little by little!
Even the blind regent couldn't tolerate a smelly and rotten princess!
You will die in everyone's disgust!
…
Yun Qingqing watched Yun Bailian leave with interest, a sneer on her face.
I have been taking the "Youyan Yujing" talisman for seven days in a row, and today I have begun to transform myself. A lot of the skin on my face has scabbed and fallen off. I can't let her see it, otherwise there will be no surprise.
When the people walked away, Yun Qingqing was about to take off her veil to eat, but suddenly she frowned and said sternly:
"who!"
"Princess, it's me!" Nan Zheng appeared quietly and said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Yun Qingqing was stunned. "What are you doing here?"
Nan Zheng hesitated for a moment:
"I would like to ask you something first. When you stopped the prince's carriage, you said 'the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the hour of the rooster'. What did that mean?"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows, understood, leaned back lazily, and said with a smile:
"No wonder you came to see me. Today is the first day of the new year. Did that guy have a fit?"
Nan Zheng’s eyelids twitched. How could the princess address the prince like that... Forget it, now is not the time to worry about so many things!
He immediately knelt down on one knee and said:
"It seems that the princess really knows the inside story! Please go to the palace and help the prince!"
