With red eyes, Qingyou repeated to the Emperor what she had said to the Empress Dowager, including the part about the Fourth Prince.
Sure enough, the emperor's face darkened after hearing this. "Outrageous! This Ji Wen is truly outrageous."
The emperor never expected that his nephew would want to break off the engagement and keep arguing with his sister over a merchant's daughter.
It's incredibly unfilial to make your sister so angry.
Even more unexpectedly, the fourth brother was also involved.
What is that rebellious son trying to do?
Can't wait to pull him off the throne?
He once indulged his maternal relatives in their corrupt practices and embezzlement.
Now he's seduced another woman, and his nephew is determined to marry her; even his sister can't resist.
His intentions were so obvious that they made him very unhappy.
Qingyou continued to sow discord, "He even planted a maidservant as a spy for me because of that woman." (Original URL: qiuww)
“Yesterday, I was talking to Huo Tong in the room when that maid was eavesdropping at the door and was discovered by Granny Qi.”
“I had my guards take her away for interrogation and pry her out of her mouth. She said that she was placed by Ji Wen to monitor me, but her master behind the scenes was Shi Lingqiao.”
This was indeed something the secret guards pried out of the maid's mouth.
The young lady of the Shi family that Shi Lingqiao transmigrated into had once saved this maid. After discovering that this maid was a first-class maid in the Duke's mansion, Shi Lingqiao secretly made contact with her.
She instructed her maid to frequently relay messages about the original owner of the body.
And he told Char Siu Bao that he could ask this maid if he needed anything.
Qingyou's words made the Empress Dowager and the Emperor frown even more deeply.
The Empress Dowager's face turned extremely ugly. "What are you trying to do? You haven't even entered the house yet and you're already bribing someone to spy on you. What will happen if you let her in?"
If she's bribing people to monitor her daughter now, does that mean she'll try to take advantage of her daughter in the future?
No wonder she could do something that made her grandson talk back to his own mother.
Qingyou sighed, "That's why I don't agree to Ji Wen marrying her after breaking off the engagement."
The Empress Dowager nodded: "Then we definitely cannot agree to that."
She then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, in a few days, please have Ji Wen come to the palace and have a good talk with him. Don't let lust cloud your judgment."
The emperor shared the same thought, "Good!"
He suspected that the maid Shi Lingqiao had arranged was monitoring her sister in an attempt to steal important information from the Duke's mansion and use it for the fourth prince's purposes.
I used to think my nephew was quite clever and quick-witted, but I never expected him to be so stupid as to let a wolf into the house. He deserves a good scolding.
Qingyou didn't stop him; Chashaobao was just a love-struck fool and would never listen to the emperor.
After the emperor finishes scolding her, he will definitely blame her for being too talkative and coming to tell the Empress Dowager and the emperor about it.
After having breakfast, Qingyou chatted with the Empress Dowager for a while before leaving the palace.
While in the Empress Dowager's palace, she even pretended to trip and was caught by the Emperor so that she wouldn't fall to the ground.
Then she seized the opportunity to grab the emperor's wrist and take his pulse, discovering that he had a very special slow-acting poison in his body.
This must have been a cleverly prepared poison that the fourth prince used to poison the emperor.
As the lucky heroine of this small world, Shi Lingqiao not only has the opportunity to become another person after death, but also has the golden finger of inheriting medical and poison skills.
The poison that Shi Ling cleverly concocted was undetectable by ordinary imperial physicians; she discovered it through a hidden pulse pattern.
Qingyou was not surprised by this result. The emperor in the original body died suddenly three years later, but the cause could not be found. It was only said to be a sudden illness.
Therefore, she guessed that Shi Lingqiao and the Fourth Prince had given the Emperor a slow-acting poison that would gradually erode his body until it reached a certain level.
For example, in the event of a sudden illness such as cerebral hemorrhage or myocardial infarction, the toxins can be masked, making it difficult for imperial physicians to detect.
Since the original owner of this body did not know anything about medicine, Qingyou naturally could not directly remind the emperor.
However, she will find a way to let the emperor know about this as soon as possible and prepare an antidote for him.
The emperor's poisoning is not yet severe, and the damage to his body can still be repaired.
After Qingyou went back, Chashaobao would come to the backyard every day, pestering her to break off the engagement.
Every time, Qingyou would provoke me so much that I would leave, but she would come back the next day.
This also shows that Char Siu Bao's severe love-struck mind is completely beyond saving.
A few days later, the emperor summoned Huo Jiwen to the palace and gave him a severe scolding.
Huo Jiwen dared not contradict the emperor and could only bow his head, admit his mistake, and apologize.
But she was holding her breath, and when she returned to the Duke's mansion, she stormed off to find Qingyou.
Today, Qingyou specially invited the two ladies to visit the Duke's mansion.
She had a theatrical troupe hired to perform, and she was currently listening to the opera with her two wives.
She ignored Char Siu Bao when he walked in with a grim expression.
Seeing this, Huo Jiwen became even angrier and said directly, "Mother, you've gone too far."
Qingyou's smile vanished instantly, and she glanced at him indifferently, "What about your rules?"
Huo Jiwen reluctantly bowed and greeted the two ladies.
Then she leaned closer to Qingyou and whispered, "Mother, why did you tell Uncle Huang about that?"
"Do you know? He summoned me to the palace today and gave me a good scolding."
This was the first time in his life that he had been severely scolded by his imperial uncle.
Moreover, his maternal uncle wanted him to break up with Ling Qiao as soon as possible.
This is what angered him the most; his mother really disrespected him.
Qingyou looked at him and said, "I think your imperial uncle did a good job scolding you. If he can wake you up, I'll have to go to the palace to thank him."
Huo Jiwen choked, "Mother, how could you do this? I'm your son."
Qingyou rolled her eyes at him. "If you weren't my son, I would have had you kicked out of the manor long ago for being so unfilial."
Huo Jiwen: "..." There's no way to continue this conversation.
He pursed his lips and said, "Mother, I will not compromise no matter what."
Qingyou sneered and emphasized again, "Then you can forget about the future title of Duke. I'm not kidding you."
Huo Jiwen's expression changed, but he still couldn't believe that his mother wanted to deprive him of his inheritance rights.
Moreover, he is already the heir of the Duke's mansion. Who else is qualified to inherit the title of Duke besides him?
So I didn't take it to heart, thinking, "If you don't want it, you don't want it."
Qingyou said with a dark face, "You unfilial son, get out of here. I don't want to see you right now."
Being scolded and told to get out in front of so many people by his own mother, Huo Jiwen felt humiliated. "Fine, I'll get out then."
Then, as usual, she turned around angrily and stormed out.
Seeing Huo Jiwen's appearance, the two ladies sitting next to Qingyou were both taken aback, clearly quite surprised.
The Duke's heir has a very good reputation in the capital; he is skilled in both literature and martial arts and has an elegant demeanor.
They never expected that Huo Jiwen would be so disrespectful to his own mother in private, and that they would even have a dispute.
Although Qingyou and the other girl were not speaking loudly, they still heard them.
One of the wives of the Hou family couldn't resist her gossipy nature.
She looked at Qingyou and asked, "What's wrong with the young master?"
