Uya didn't want to see her face. The more innocent, radiant, and beautiful Wang Shu was, the more she would appear as a failure and as terrible as she seemed.
She couldn't compare to her in looks or in favor, and even though she schemed and plotted, in the end, Wang Shu miscarried, but she paid a much higher price, and it was a losing proposition.
Seeing Wangshu was like darkness meeting light, so bright that Wuya couldn't open her eyes. How could someone be so lucky, having everything without having to scheme?
That's unfair!!!
She was unwilling to accept it!
Seeing Wuya's distorted face, Wangshu pretended to be startled: "Sister Wuya, are you feeling unwell?"
Uya lowered her head, suppressing the hatred and resentment in her heart, and said as gently as possible, "I am so grateful to my sister for coming to visit me. After Nara made a scene, you are the first one to come to visit me. I am truly moved."
"Since you are so kind to me, I will naturally reciprocate with the same sincerity. Please take good care of yourself and I will plead with the Emperor later. This matter is really not your fault."
Uya quickly stopped her, saying, "No, thank you for your kindness, sister. The Emperor's decree has already been issued, and the Emperor's word is law. It will be fine once the Emperor calms down. If you plead for me rashly, I'm afraid it will displease the Emperor, and I don't want to see you like that."
How could Lady Wuya dare to let Wangshu mention her in front of Emperor Kangxi again? She wished she could hide in the palace now. As for her original plan to kill Wangshu, she dared not do it, at least not for now.
She dared not gamble on Kangxi's control over the harem, so she orchestrated Wangshu's miscarriage. She thought she had done it flawlessly, but the truth was that she was discovered.
Wang Shu nodded: "Alright then, I'll listen to my sister."
As they were talking, a palace maid from the Uya clan entered.
"Your Highness, it's time for our young master to take his medicine."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shu offered her a seat, showing no intention of leaving. After drinking her medicine, Wu Ya Shi began talking to Wang Shu. After a while, Wu Ya Shi suddenly became agitated, her gaze towards Wang Shu filled with hatred.
Uya shouted at Wangshu, "You bitch, why don't you just die? Hahaha, you don't know, do you? Last year you weren't seriously ill, you miscarried. It was me and Nara who caused this! Hahaha, you miscarried..."
As she spoke, Uya made a move to get up and hit Wangshu, but was stopped by Sumu and Uya's maid.
Wang Shu was completely stunned.
Su Mu: "Help! Uya has gone mad!"
Soon, a number of people came in and stopped the madwoman, Wuya. Wangshu left the room in a daze, and not long after, Consort Tong arrived.
On the way here, Consort Tong already knew what had happened and had a terrible headache.
It was easy to guess that Wuya's medicine must have been laced with something that would make her emotionally unstable. Only then did she realize that Wuya had been involved in plotting Wangshu's miscarriage. No wonder she couldn't be promoted even after giving birth to two princes.
Knowing this is one thing, but it will cause a lot of trouble later.
Because of what happened to Lady Wuya in Chengqian Palace, Consort Chun learned the truth that the Emperor had been trying to hide, and Consort Tong was also afraid that Emperor Kangxi would blame her.
At this moment, Consort Tong hated Lady Wuya to the core. How could she be so audacious as to do anything?
Upon arriving at the side hall, seeing the stunned Wang Shu, Consort Tong said, "Consort Chun, Consort Wuya has taken the wrong medicine and is talking nonsense! Don't take it to heart. I will have someone send you back to Qixiang Palace."
Wang Shu rose somewhat woodenly and performed a farewell bow: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Then, Wang Shu, supported by Su Mu's hand, walked out of Chengqian Palace, trembling.
On the way back, his expression was as if he had lost his soul, which attracted a lot of attention.
Although Chengqian Palace was strictly controlled by Consort Tong, the commotion caused by Lady Wuya was considerable. Even if Consort Tong wanted to keep it a secret, she couldn't, and so the news gradually spread.
Wang Shu practically floated back to Qixiang Palace. Upon returning, she said blankly, "I need some peace and quiet. Don't come in."
The people in Qixiang Palace were unaware of what had happened and looked at Wang Shu's departing figure with great worry.
After Wang Shu entered the room, Su Mu recounted everything that had happened at Chengqian Palace.
Baozhu was devastated after hearing this. She had been using her family's connections to retaliate against Consort Nara. Now that Consort Nara had left the palace, she had no chance of making a comeback. Only now did she realize that the culprit was actually Consort Wuya.
How could she possibly tolerate this?
Baozhu said coldly, "If Your Majesty is sad, we are sad too. But we can't just do nothing because we're sad. The matter in Chengqian Palace can't be kept secret, and the Emperor will find out soon."
We must let the Emperor know that the Empress is heartbroken. Sister Su Mu, you should go with the Empress to Chengqian Palace. The Empress is heartbroken and it is inconvenient for her to talk about her sad things again.
"When the Emperor arrives, you must have a good talk with him. We can't let the Empress be heartbroken for nothing." Uya agreed. "Hmph, just you wait!"
Su Mu nodded: "I understand."
She will definitely try to make things difficult for him, Uya agreed, she really is despicable.
A somber atmosphere permeated Qixiang Palace, while its owner remained quite relaxed inside.
System: "Host, you're really something!"
Wang Shu chuckled, "Anyway, it was something that the Wuya family sent to Qixiang Palace. Using it on Consort Wuya is like returning it to its rightful owner, isn't it? I'm so kind!"
After saying this, Wang Shu played with the gold hairpin in her hand. Its openwork design concealed something that could affect a person's mind. It was difficult to detect without ingesting it, but if worn for a long time, it could indeed influence a person's temperament.
The Wuya family sent this hairpin in with the intention of trying their luck, but the system discovered it!
After finding the source, Wang Shu ground the substance into powder and used it all for Wu Ya Shi, without wasting a single bit!
