Chapter 239 The Queen Mother was panicked and scared
"Second Prince, come, let me help you up."
Nanny Cui turned her back to the stone table and bent down to support the crying Xie Congyuan.
The fat boy with a sore ankle couldn't use his foot, so he leaned his whole body on Aunt Cui's arms. He hugged Aunt Cui and sobbed, "Aunt, my foot hurts, I fell and it hurts..."
Xie Chengyun was so anxious that he kept circling around the two of them, saying, "Madame Cui, can you help my brother take off his boots and have a look to see if his feet are broken and bleeding?"
Aunt Cui frowned and looked back at the tea on the table.
She still has to serve tea...
But looking at the crying prince, she thought again, if she didn't care about these two little cubs, it would be troublesome if they ran to their mother crying.
Never mind. It shouldn't be a big deal to delay for a little while.
"Yes, I will take a look at it right away."
Nanny Cui responded, squatted down and let Xie Congyuan lean on her.
She lifted up the foot where Xie Congyuan was crying out in pain, slowly took off his boots, then took off his socks, and carefully examined his red ankle.
While Nanny Cui was checking with her back to the table, Xie Chengyun was still anxiously circling around the two of them. After circling twice, he passed by the stone table and suddenly, while Nanny Cui was not paying attention, he quickly swapped the two cups on the lacquer tray.
After putting it away, he continued to walk around Aunt Cui as if nothing had happened, muttering to himself, "Aunt, Aunt, is my brother's foot okay?"
Nanny Cui pressed the red area on her ankle and breathed a sigh of relief.
She said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince is fine. His ankle is just sprained and a little red. I will apply some medicated oil on him later."
She put Xie Congyuan's shoes and socks back on and said, "Your Highnesses, please wait here for a moment. I'll go get some tea for the Empress Dowager and Madam Xiao, and I'll be right back to take you to apply the medicine, okay?"
Xie Chengyun supported his brother and nodded obediently, "Okay, Madam, come quickly."
Nanny Cui responded with a smile, picked up the lacquer tray and walked steadily towards the pavilion.
Looking at her back, Xie Chengyun patted his pounding chest.
It’s really scary to do bad things secretly.
He was not afraid of being caught, he was afraid of messing up his mother's plan. Fortunately, he was more reliable and he helped his mother. He was so proud.
…
In the pavilion.
Shen Yuanwei was afraid that if she continued to sit there calmly, it would arouse the suspicion of Queen Mother Jiang, so she prepared to get up and leave.
"Empress Dowager, we have been out for long enough. It's time to go back."
She rubbed her hands and blew out a breath, "It's freezing cold. The two children will catch a cold if they stay out too long."
Queen Mother Jiang frowned.
You actually want to leave?
That won't work.
If this woman leaves, there will never be such a good opportunity to take action again!
Empress Dowager Jiang was trying to find a way to keep Shen Yuanwei when she suddenly saw Nanny Cui approaching with a lacquer tray. Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes lit up slightly.
It's finally here!
She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yuanwei lazily, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? You've already come out. Sit for a while. I still have something to ask you."
Shen Yuanwei looked down at her, "My Lady, is there anything else?"
Queen Mother Jiang said, "About Ah You."
Shen Yuanwei caught a glimpse of Aunt Cui out of the corner of her eye and knew that the show was finally about to begin, so she sat down.
She played with her hair and said calmly, "Isn't Ah You in the audience selecting a princess tonight? He has let it go. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about him."
Queen Mother Jiang had a bad expression on her face.
"How can I not worry? I have seen your power, Shen Yuanwei. You have been away for four years, leaving your husband and children behind, but the emperor still can't let you go and wants to rekindle his relationship with you. Even a forty-year-old middle-aged man like him is still obsessed with you. How can my young and innocent son let you go so easily?"
Shen Yuanwei looked at Queen Mother Jiang and smiled.
"Then what does the Queen Mother want me to do? You can't just let me die, right?"
Queen Mother Jiang sneered and said nothing.
Nanny Cui finally walked into the pavilion.
She placed the lacquer tray on the stone table and handed the teacup on her right hand to Queen Mother Jiang, "Have some tea, Queen Mother."
Then, she handed over the cup of tea that belonged to Shen Yuanwei on her left hand, "Mrs. Xiao, please have some tea."
After handing over the two cups of tea, Nanny Cui backed away and left.
She had to lead the two princes away and not let anyone ruin the good deeds of Madam Xiao and the Second Young Master Zhao.
Queen Mother Jiang watched Nanny Cui go away, then picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened, opened the lid, and took a sip.
Seeing that Shen Yuanwei didn't touch the cup, she said, "It's freezing cold. You've been sitting outside for so long. Don't you want to drink some hot tea to warm yourself up?"
Shen Yuanwei then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Queen Mother Jiang lowered her head and continued drinking tea without speaking to Shen Yuanwei.
The superiors stopped talking, so Shen Yuanwei pretended to be silent and awkward, lowering her head and drinking the tea sip by sip.
Soon, the two drank half a cup of tea.
When Queen Mother Jiang saw that there was only a little tea left in Shen Yuanwei's cup, her red lips curled slightly.
This bitch has been drugged by her and will be ruined soon!
Shen Yuanwei raised her eyes and glanced at Empress Dowager Jiang's teacup. Seeing that Empress Dowager Jiang drank more than her, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
After drinking so much, he will probably become even crazier later, right?
Shen Yuanwei smiled and put the teacup on the table.
She looked at the moon in the sky, and waited for the medicine to take effect with the complacent Queen Mother Jiang.
They were all eager to see the other's panic-stricken look when something went wrong with their body. They were all waiting to see the show, and no one was in the mood to speak.
Time passed like water, and finally, a quarter of an hour was almost up.
Queen Mother Jiang glanced at Shen Yuanwei obscurely from the side.
She is a little strange.
How come Shen Yuanwei is still so calm and stable?
Didn’t Aunt Cui say that it was a strong medicine and that the effect would take effect in a quarter of an hour? Why hasn’t the medicine in Shen Yuanwei’s body taken effect yet?
Shen Yuanwei glanced at Queen Mother Jiang and smiled slightly, "What are you looking at, Queen Mother?"
Queen Mother Jiang curled her red lips slightly, "I didn't see anything, I just felt a little cold, and wanted to see if you were feeling uncomfortable."
Shen Yuanwei stood up and stretched her limbs, then smiled and said to Queen Mother Jiang, "I'm fine, Your Majesty. I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
She smiled and asked, "Madam, how about you? Are you just a little cold? Are you feeling any other discomfort?"
Queen Mother Jiang was about to say that she had no other problems.
suddenly.
She felt an inexplicable restlessness rising in her heart.
That kind of dryness was like standing under the scorching sun in June, feeling dizzy and short of breath from the scorching sun. There was an indescribable discomfort spreading from the heart.
Her face changed slightly.
She reached out and touched her heart, feeling the heat in her body becoming more and more intense and out of control, and she suddenly panicked.
She realized something was wrong.
She suddenly looked up at Shen Yuanwei, her fingers trembling with panic, "You...are you..."
She suddenly looked at the two cups, and then looked at Shen Yuanwei anxiously, "Did you do anything? Why are you fine? Why did I..."
