Chapter 227 The Queen Mother caught her in bed with the Prince
He stood at the door and looked at Xie Tianyou and Shen Yuanwei in surprise and suspicion.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yuan Wei was fine and there was no blood on Xie Tianyou's body.
Xie Tianyou turned his head to look at Xiao Lingzhao, then looked at Shen Yuanwei, waiting for Shen Yuanwei's punishment.
Shen Yuanwei rubbed her brows and waved to Xie Tianyou to leave. "Go back to the palace. You've been up all night. Go back and have a good sleep."
Xie Tianyou pursed his lips and said, "Okay."
He turned around with tears in his eyes and walked away step by step. When he stepped out of the door, his two little nephews looked at him eagerly and called him Uncle Rui Wang, but he ignored them and left in silence, wiping his tears.
Xiao Lingzhao watched his figure disappear outside the courtyard gate, then walked to the bed and sat down.
He asked Shen Yuanwei, "What did King Rui do just now?"
Shen Yuanwei's expression was awkward and a little complicated.
She touched her lips, coughed lightly, and said, "That boy suddenly bent down and kissed me when I was not paying attention. I was also caught off guard..."
Xiao Lingzhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
No wonder that kid said he would beat me if he wanted to, it turned out he was just being a scoundrel.
Xiao Lingzhao stroked Shen Yuanwei's lips with his thumb and wiped them gently, erasing all traces of another man. "If you can't get the love you want, just kiss her once. Don't do it again in the future."
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "Well, we've already talked it out. He shouldn't bother me anymore. He's actually very obedient."
When Xiao Lingzhao heard the word "obedient", he raised his eyebrows and took out the booklet he had confiscated from his sleeve.
"Look at what the obedient child in your eyes has done."
Shen Yuanwei looked at it curiously.
"What's this?"
Xiao Lingzhao curled his lips.
"This is the good stuff that your obedient brother Ayou regards as a golden rule. He wants to learn how concubines can seduce their husbands to favor concubines and kill their wives. This is a secret that every concubine must learn."
Shen Yuanwei looked up at Xiao Lingzhao in shock and quickly took the booklet.
After glancing at the two lines of book titles, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
That brat, why does he read everything and learn everything?
She felt a headache when she thought that the innocent child, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, was not only learning how to seduce her husband to favor his concubine over his wife, but was also instigated by Queen Mother Jiang to learn how to act like a yandere and force love.
She glanced at the two little kids at the door and whispered to Xiao Lingzhao.
"Ayou came back to the palace crying today. I'm afraid Queen Mother Jiang will hate me to the core again. She even said something like imprisoning me to guide Ayou. What ugly and vicious things can't she do? I'm worried that she will do something to harm me at the palace banquet in the near future..."
Xiao Lingzhao originally wanted to take a closer look at this secret book with Yuan Wei, but when he heard Yuan Wei mention Queen Mother Jiang, his expression became solemn.
yes.
Queen Mother Jiang has always been a person who would do anything to protect her son.
Her beloved youngest son fell in love with Yuan Wei, but couldn't get her. Would she do something bad to Yuan Wei at the palace banquet and make it a fait accompli between Yuan Wei and Prince Rui?
Shen Yuanwei scratched the palm of his hand.
"Do you also think that Queen Mother Jiang would use despicable means against me and let her son take advantage of me?"
Xiao Lingzhao nodded.
Shen Yuanwei narrowed her eyes and said, "Empress Dowager Jiang has harmed me before, and I can't help but think of her as a sinister person. I think she might bring everyone to catch me in an adulterous act and ruin my reputation, making it too shameful for me to stay in the Xiao family. Then, she would persuade the emperor to abolish my title of prince and take back my fiefdom on the grounds that I am unfaithful to women and will lead women all over the world astray, and imprison me in Prince Rui's mansion to be a beast that can be bullied by others..."
Xiao Lingzhao didn't say that Shen Yuanwei was overthinking.
There are sinister people lurking behind the scenes, and no matter how much they speculate, it is not excessive.
He was afraid that Shen Yuanwei would really be harmed by Queen Mother Jiang after entering the palace. He held Shen Yuanwei's fingers tightly and said, "Don't go to this palace banquet. The palace is Queen Mother Jiang's territory. If she deliberately wants to harm us, we can't defend ourselves."
Shen Yuanwei was not too scared.
She glanced at the two little children who were peeking out of the door.
She pointed at the two children with her slender hands and smiled.
"The palace is Queen Mother Jiang's territory, but it is also our two sons' territory. Let them help us keep an eye on Queen Mother Jiang. I think there shouldn't be any big problems—"
Xiao Lingzhao looked back at the two children with suspicion in his eyes.
Can two four-year-old children really help?
It won't make things worse, right?
Shen Yuanwei waved towards the door, "Yun'er, Yuan'er, both of you come to your mother."
The two sensible children had been squatting at the door and didn't come in to disturb them. Now they finally heard their mother's call. Their dark eyes flashed with light, and then they stood up, twisted their little bodies, and ran happily into the room.
They came to their mother's bed, lay on the head of the bed and looked at her eagerly.
Xie Congyuan was still as spoiled as always. He rubbed his furry little head against Shen Yuanwei's arm and called out in a baby voice, "Mother! Mother, mother!"
Shen Yuanwei smiled and held the twisting little head in her arms, stroking it over and over again, unable to let it go.
Xie Chengyun matured early, and he felt particularly sorry for his mother. He asked in a low voice, "Why haven't they brought food to me yet? Are you hungry?"
Shen Yuanwei raised her eyes and looked at her eldest son in surprise.
Why are you so well-behaved and sensible?
She felt warm in her heart, and she reached out and gently touched the little guy's face, saying softly, "Mom is not hungry yet. When I woke up, I saw Yun'er and Yuan'er guarding me. I felt so happy and I am not hungry at all."
After a pause, she smiled and praised, "Yun'er is so good, he cares if his mother is hungry. Yun'er is really a good baby gifted to his mother by God."
Xie Chengyun felt shy because of the praise, and his little face turned red.
But he really likes his mother praising him.
He rubbed his mother's palm and said obediently, "Father said that we can stay with her at her house for a few days. If we make her feel happy every day, will her wound heal faster?"
Shen Yuanwei said, "Of course. With two good kids by my side, I am happy every day. The wound will definitely heal quickly, very quickly."
Seeing that the two children were not wearing fox fur, she pulled back the quilt and shouted, "Are you cold? Come on, get in your mother's bed and warm up."
"Um!"
Neither of the two children was polite. They rushed to put on their deerskin boots and crawled into their mother's bed, giggling as they did so. They were so happy.
Shen Yuanwei hugged the cute little stove and looked up at Xiao Lingzhao and smiled.
Seeing that she was happy, Xiao Lingzhao also smiled.
"How are our two children? Are they okay?" Shen Yuanwei asked.
Xiao Lingzhao said, "They slept well last night. They cried for a while just now. They refused to sleep even after feeding and kept crying. I went to hug them and came back only after they were well."
Shen Yuanwei said, "Those two kids recognize you and are closer to you than anyone else."
Xiao Lingzhao smiled, "I love to hold them and coax them, unlike you, who are always lazy. When you are in the mood, you hold the child and play with him for a while. When the child cries, you turn your hand and put him in my arms or the nurse's arms, and then run away to hide in peace and quiet——"
When Yun'er and Yuan'er heard this, they looked at their mother with wide eyes in disbelief.
Is their mother so lazy?
