Chapter 170 The child’s background will be exposed
Shen Yuanwei glanced at the old lady who was still feeling guilty with amusement, then looked at Xiao Lingzhao, "What happened? Is he refusing to eat or hiding under the bed and refusing to come out? It's okay, the Queen Mother can coax him."
Xiao Lingzhao shook his head.
He walked to the bedside and whispered, "Prince Rui committed suicide by cutting his wrists. The blood was all over the floor. When Queen Mother Jiang opened the door and found him, the blood on the floor was almost solidified. I heard that he almost died."
Shen Yuanwei was stunned.
After she realized what was happening, she grabbed Xiao Lingzhao's arm in disbelief and asked anxiously, "Ayou committed suicide? Why would he commit suicide for no reason? Why didn't anyone notice his blood all over the floor?"
Xiao Lingzhao sat down. "It seems that Queen Mother Jiang was stabbed by you and fell unconscious. All the palace people were terrified and surrounded the Queen Mother and left. Only Prince Rui was left in the yard. No one cared about him. It was only after Queen Mother Jiang woke up that she remembered him. Fortunately, Queen Mother Jiang left in time. If she had been a little later, he would have died."
Shen Yuanwei felt a little worried when she thought of the well-behaved, obedient and clingy boy.
"How could this happen? He hasn't had an attack of self-abuse for months... I don't know if he will drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. He has already committed suicide by cutting his wrists. Will he tear off the bandages and commit suicide?"
Xiao Lingzhao clenched her fingers.
"Prince Rui is not in danger of death now, so don't worry about him for now. You are the one in danger now. Will the Queen Mother blame you for Prince Rui's accident?"
Shen Yuanwei's heart sank as well.
Queen Mother Jiang is a strong, overbearing and unsympathetic person. She would definitely not think she was at fault for what happened last night and would definitely blame all the problems on her.
but……
Shen Yuanwei's eyes flickered slightly.
She said, "If Prince Rui doesn't cooperate with Queen Mother Jiang, and refuses to drink the medicine when asked to, and insists on tearing the wound open when asked not to touch it, Queen Mother Jiang will have no choice but to ask me for help... If she wants to ask me for help, she probably won't bother me, don't you think?"
Xiao Lingzhao raised his eyebrows.
"Are you so confident that King Rui will only listen to you?"
Shen Yuanwei shook her head.
"No, I'm just assuming this. I just hope that the Queen Mother has a weak spot that I can hold in my hand. Otherwise, if she goes crazy, I'm afraid that even the Emperor won't be able to stop her."
Xiao Lingzhao comforted her.
"Don't worry too much. You still have your parents-in-law and husband to look after you. Even if she is the queen mother, she can't openly kill Zhongliang's family, right? If she wants to cause trouble for you, she'll have to step over my corpse first."
Shen Yuanwei smiled.
She grabbed Xiao Lingzhao's hand and said, "Then you should stay with me all the time and don't go anywhere. Otherwise, if you leave, someone will come to take your wife away and torture me. I will die in her hands."
Xiao Lingzhao laughed.
He lowered his head and kissed Shen Yuanwei's forehead, "Okay, I won't go anywhere. I will just stay with you and protect you with my life, okay?"
The old lady covered her eyes silently.
She really couldn't bear to watch the young couple being so affectionate.
Shen Yuanwei noticed the old lady's little action from the corner of her eye, and immediately poked Xiao Lingzhao's cheek with a smile.
Xiao Lingzhao stood up and stopped getting close to her.
As they were talking, Nanny Chen came in with a maid carrying a lacquer tray.
Two bowls of clean clear soup noodles without any oil spots, topped with a few juicy green leaves, and next to them was a plate of beautiful shredded meat topping and a plate of browned fried eggs.
Another maid's lacquer tray contained a plate of chicken legs, a plate of pig's feet, a plate of steamed fish fillets, a plate of tender tofu, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
This dish is more appetizing than the previous bowl of chicken noodle soup.
Shen Yuanwei saw the maid behind her holding a soup bowl and asked the old lady, "Mother, what's in that soup bowl?"
The old lady said, "It's blood bird's nest stewed with red dates and wolfberries. It has no fishy smell. If you don't want to drink the fish maw and chicken soup, drink this. It replenishes nutrition and replenishes qi and blood. You can't say no to it anymore. You have to drink this. Just treat it as medicine and swallow it in one gulp."
Xiao Lingzhao immediately handed the soup bowl to Shen Yuanwei.
Shen Yuanwei lowered her head and sniffed it. There was no unpleasant smell, so she drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking half a cup of bird's nest soup, eating half a bowl of noodles, gnawing on a chicken leg, a pig's trotter, and some vegetables and tofu, Shen Yuanwei was already 80% full.
The old lady was delighted by what she saw.
A kind mother feels happy when she sees her children eating happily.
She stood up and said, "Okay, you two can talk, I'll be leaving first--"
After taking a step, she turned back and asked Shen Yuanwei, "Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."
Shen Yuanwei looked at the old lady obediently, "As long as it's not greasy or fishy, I'll eat anything."
The old lady smiled and said, "You are really easy to feed. Okay, I will take someone to the vegetable market and personally pick out some delicious food for you."
Shen Yuanwei smiled and said, "Thank you, mother. You have worked hard."
The old lady waved her hand, "I have long wanted to work so hard, but my son never found someone to take care of me. Now that my daughter-in-law is back, you two should just let me take care of you. Not only do I not feel tired, I am even happy in my heart."
After watching the old lady leave, Xiao Lingzhao waved his hand in front of Shen Yuanwei's eyes, "Still looking? Everyone has gone far away."
Shen Yuanwei withdrew her gaze.
Xiao Lingzhao said with a smile, "I think you like our mother more than you like me."
Shen Yuanwei hooked her fingers around his and smiled brightly, "It's all an illusion. You are my favorite person. In this world, there is only you."
Xiao Lingzhao is very easy to coax and can make him smile with just a few sweet words.
He changed out of his court robes, sat beside the bed and said to Shen Yuanwei, "Early in the morning, the Wei family sent a lot of things, including medicinal herbs for nourishing the body, delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and a lot of silk and jewelry, all for you."
He took out another list from his bosom, "This was given to me by the eunuch beside the Queen after the court session. He said that all the treasures on it are from the Queen's private storehouse. You can choose whatever you want, and the Queen will have someone send it to you when the time comes."
Shen Yuanwei took the list and smiled as she read it.
The Wei family was really warm and genuine. They raised her child and tried their best to give her good things to compensate her.
She held the list in her hand and looked up at Xiao Lingzhao, "Has the emperor sent the two little princes to the queen's palace?"
Xiao Lingzhao nodded, "Yes, last night the news of Prince Rui's suicide reached the emperor's bedroom. The emperor was anxious to see Prince Rui, so he sent the child to the queen's bedroom."
Shen Yuanwei asked expectantly, "Does the Queen like those two children?"
Xiao Lingzhao nodded again, "Yes, the eunuch who came to deliver the message said that the queen was so happy that she didn't sleep the whole night. She just lay beside the two little princes, looking at them with a smile, touching one and then the other. She was so happy that she felt like she was carrying them as if they were her own children."
Shen Yuanwei felt relieved.
The Queen is a kind person and will definitely treat the two children well.
Judging from the way the Wei family and the Queen are trying so hard to give her things, they should be extremely satisfied and no one will treat her two children harshly.
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xiao Lingzhao and suddenly asked, "By the way, at what age did your natural strength manifest? If you pass your strength to your child, he will probably be different from ordinary people..."
Shen Yuanwei frowned, "If this is the case, his background will be exposed sooner or later."
