Upon seeing Si Yang, Su He rose and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, Prince Consort."
"Didn't I say that formalities are unnecessary?" He's a prince consort in name only.
Even though the place was very remote, Su He still looked around before speaking: "Have you found the Prince Consort's mother?"
"Soon." Si Yang only uttered two words.
Previously, the Princess's residence was under Yu Tingyi's rule, but now that Yu Tingyi has been seriously ill for over a month, the servants in the residence have begun to curry favor with Qi Siyang.
After all, given the princess's condition, it's uncertain whether she'll be able to live a normal life in the future; she might spend the rest of her life bedridden.
Although the princess did not value the consort, he was still the consort, and the princess's household would have to rely on him for support in the future. Moreover, although the princess had not liked the consort before, Emperor Yuanhe still valued him very much.
Under Yu Tingyi's oppression, the people in the Princess's residence, being the most shrewd, weighed the pros and cons and almost all began to tacitly obey Si Yang.
Therefore, Si Yang did not encounter much hindrance when he tried to find out where his mother was.
only……
Si Yang never expected that Yu Tingyi would move his mother around to different places, changing her location every now and then, which made the search quite difficult.
If Si Yang hadn't been worried about not being able to find his mother, he definitely wouldn't have appeared at the hunting grounds to rescue Yu Tingyi.
Yu Tingyi still doesn't know that he was the one who made her voice hoarse, and that Yu Nanqing didn't hurt her leg; it was all his doing.
Only when she is unable to speak, unable to walk, and unable to move can she be at his mercy.
Hearing Si Yang say this, Su He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Thinking of something, he added, "Your Highness has invited the Valley Master of Baiyou Valley to treat the Princess, which must be for some reason. I would like to visit the Prince's residence to find out the reason, so as not to disrupt Your Highness and Princess's plans."
Si Yang pondered for a while before nodding: "The Emperor sees Prince Gong as a thorn in his side. Going there rashly would easily arouse the Emperor's suspicion. I will meet with the Valley Master of Baiyou Valley tomorrow and see how he reacts before making any plans."
"good."
The two chatted for a while longer before exchanging greetings and saying goodbye.
On the other side, at Prince Gong's Mansion.
As soon as Su Wanyan returned to the manor, she asked Qiuye to go to the city to inquire about any banquets recently held by wealthy young ladies, and to get a list of attendees if possible.
Just as Qiu Ye finished her curtsy and withdrew, Su Wanyan asked Huang Ye to bring her a calendar.
The closest major festival is the Dragon Boat Festival.
She remembered Chen Wanfu saying that there would be dragon boat races in the city during the Dragon Boat Festival, and that the young noblemen of the city would also go to join in the fun. At that time, the restaurants on both sides of the moat would definitely be fully booked.
Since it is the Dragon Boat Festival, a Dragon Boat Festival banquet will definitely be held in the palace in the evening.
Su Wanyan pursed her lips and fell into deep thought for a moment. If she were to lead the banquet, it would be too purposeful and her behavior too flamboyant. Therefore, she needed to find a suitable opportunity to appear in front of these noble ladies.
A banquet would be a perfect opportunity.
However, the banquet cannot be too low-class, otherwise it will not catch the eye of a wealthy young lady.
After Su Wanyan looked at it, she handed the calendar back to Huang Ye, hoping that Qiu Ye could find out some good news.
Since there was nothing else to do, Su Wanyan thought she would go to the pharmacy to stay, but suddenly she heard a commotion coming from afar, as if it were coming from outside the Prince's mansion.
Su Wanyan initially didn't intend to get involved, but as the noise grew louder and louder, she asked curiously, "What's going on outside? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ye curtsied and said, "This servant will go and see."
A short while later, Huang Ye hurriedly returned from outside: "Your Majesty, it is the Lady of Yuanning Marquis."
Su Wanyan was stunned. Zhen Yuhuai?
What is Zhen Yuhuai doing here?
But in the blink of an eye, she understood.
Su Muqing has lost her mind, and she probably hopes that they can send Xiao Chensheng to treat her.
"They're here, but why is it so noisy?" Su Wanyan didn't understand.
"The Lady of Yuanning Marquis was stopped outside the Prince's Mansion and is currently making a scene at the gate. Many people are watching, so..." Huang Ye pursed her lips as she said this.
Su Wanyan suddenly realized that after Qiu Nanyan's incident, Yu Nanqing had ordered that no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter the mansion without permission. Zhen Yuhuai had expressed her unwillingness to receive guests long ago, which was probably why Wang Zhang had not come to report.
Su Wanyan thought for a moment, put down the small spoon that was still scooping up the medicine powder, and stood up: "Let's go take a look."
"Why are you stopping me from going in? Do you even know who I am? Even your princess has to address me as her stepmother! You audacious bunch, believe me or not, I'll report you all to the Emperor!"
However, no matter how Zhen Yuhuai shouted, the two guards blocking the entrance of the Prince's Mansion did not move.
Zhen Yuhuai was furious: "This is outrageous! Su Wanyan, you heartless wretch! Your own sister is seriously ill and you don't care at all, you just hide inside like a coward! Have you forgotten who married you off to Prince Gong's mansion? You ungrateful wretch!"
She shouted at the onlookers, "You all be the judge! If I hadn't planned ahead and married Su Wanyan off to Prince Gong's mansion, would she have risen to such prominence overnight? Now that she's successful, she doesn't recognize me as her mother anymore and even dares to keep me out of the door!"
Thinking of Su Muqing's illness, Zhen Yuhuai shouted at the top of his lungs, "Su Wanyan! You come out here!"
Before they even reached the door, Zhen Yuhuai's insults were already ringing in their ears.
Wang Zhang was standing in the front yard watching. As the steward of the Wang family, he naturally couldn't ignore such a matter.
Seeing that things hadn't escalated to the point of being out of control, he remained silent and had no intention of coming forward.
Upon seeing Su Wanyan arrive, Wang Zhang quickly bowed and greeted her: "Your Majesty."
"Letting her shout outside will have a bad influence on Prince Gong's Mansion." The most important thing is that it disturbs her.
Wang Zhang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This old servant will send her away immediately."
He didn't expect that his voice had already reached the main courtyard, and that the prince would scold him again when he returned.
Su Wanyan laughed and said, "If you kick her out now, wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted?"
The crowd had already formed a circle, and driving Zhen Yuhuai away now would only escalate the situation. Perhaps they could ignore it, but...
She also happened to want to meet Zhen Yuhuai.
“Eh…” Wang Zhang realized what was going on and explained, “It was this old servant’s oversight, Your Majesty, please forgive me.”
Wang Zhang hadn't thought much about it. Originally, it was just her making a fuss, but she didn't expect the people to gather at the gate of the mansion.
At this moment, everyone was talking about it, and even the quietest voices became a torrent.
“Master Wang, there’s no need to blame yourself. Zhen Yuhuai is used to shirking her responsibilities, and she really can’t handle ordinary verbal battles.” Su Wanyan looked at the growing crowd outside the mansion gate and said, “Let her in. I’d like to see what she has to say.”
