Chapter 293 The Imperial Study is in complete chaos!
"But he's a divine physician, so it's normal for him to have a temper. Besides, with Sheng Sheng around, Fourth Brother, you can rest assured!"
Like I said before, you can rest assured that you can leave things to Sheng Sheng!
Highly respected figures often have their own little quirks, and Xie Yunwen agrees with this.
The renowned physician Shen is highly respected. I heard that when he was in Haijin, many high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants couldn't even get a chance to meet him. It seems that getting to meet the physician Shen and obtain the Rejuvenating Herb from him is indeed exceptionally difficult.
However, since Doctor Shen taught Sheng Sheng how to cultivate the Rejuvenating Grass, it seems that Sheng Sheng has indeed received some special treatment from Doctor Shen.
Xie Yunwen accepted Sheng Sheng's explanation, but still disagreed with the idea that the Crown Prince Xie Yun should also embark on a long voyage: "You can leave it at that, but the Crown Prince, like my second brother, has only just begun to get involved in politics. How can the Eastern Palace be without someone?"
Sheng Sheng pouted, about to offer some excuse, when Xie Yunwen asked in confusion, "You want to go? It's because you're young and playful. How could the Crown Prince be so reckless? That shouldn't be the case."
With a "what's the use" attitude, she simply told Xie Yunwen, "Because my brother, the Crown Prince, feels really bad about it. Fourth Brother, don't you know that the Empress's actions are meant to drive a wedge between us? My brother, the Crown Prince, feels that this whole thing started because of him, so naturally he wants to make it up to you personally."
Xie Yunwen frowned: "This isn't his fault, he didn't need to..."
"Alright, alright." Sheng Sheng quickly interrupted him, and also shared her own thoughts, "Actually, Sheng Sheng also has her own selfish reasons. Fourth Brother, have you noticed that the Crown Prince is actually very repressed?"
Xie Yunwen paused.
"Every time the Crown Prince faces the Empress and the Zheng family's affairs, he is extremely exhausted. The Empress always imposes her own ideas on him, and he is very, very tired. Sheng Sheng actually noticed that the reason why the Crown Prince likes to go to Yunshan Farm so much is because it is a place where he can temporarily escape from trouble and let himself go."
After saying that, he looked up at the sky and sighed, "Perhaps this trip to Jin will not only allow me to get the Rejuvenating Herb again, but also give my brother, the Crown Prince, a rest."
Xie Yunwen fell silent.
Sheng Sheng smiled gently, not in a hurry to ask Xie Yunwen to figure it out now, and waved her hand to beckon the few little ones who had been squatting in the corner.
Xiao Bai had already sincerely apologized to Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei understood that Xiao Bai had been poisoned and suddenly developed a serious illness, but Xiao Bai had indeed hurt several of his brothers. So Xiao Hei pressed Xiao Bai's head down and made him apologize to each of them and make promises.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Xiaobai changed his usual style and cooperated fully, thus ending the cat-and-mouse conflict.
After Xiaobai finished apologizing, he was called over by Shengsheng and was about to apologize to Xie Yunwen, the main person involved.
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry! I really, really didn't mean to. Please forgive me! I promise I'll never be greedy and eat that fish again!"
Sheng Sheng was amused by Xiao Bai calling herself "this cat" repeatedly, using the most humble tone, but still insisting on referring to herself as "this cat." Is this Xiao Bai's last bit of pride? Hahaha.
Unfortunately, Xie Yunwen couldn't understand it. All he knew was that a white cat was bowing and meowing at him, shouting, "Meow meow meow meow meow meow awoo ...
Although he couldn't understand what Xiaobai was saying, Xie Yunwen deduced from Xiaobai's actions and voice that Xiaobai felt guilty about his behavior.
Xie Yunwen tilted her head and asked, "What is he saying?"
Sheng Sheng smiled and said, "Xiao Bai apologized. He didn't mean to ruin the Rejuvenating Herb. He was poisoned because he ate a big fat fish in the lake while he was greedy. He said he would never be greedy again."
Xie Yunwen chuckled, bent down, picked up Xiaobai, and stroked it on her lap for a while: "It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose. Besides... even if it wasn't you, they would have found another way."
Sheng Sheng was taken aback, thought about it, and realized that it seemed to be true.
Even if Xiaobai hadn't greedily eaten the fish and gotten poisoned, thus ruining the Rejuvenating Grass, someone with ulterior motives would have kept thinking of other ways until they achieved their goal.
"Alright, alright, nobody's wrong in this matter. The only one at fault is the bad guy hiding behind it all!"
Sheng Sheng spread her hands, squatted down, and said to Xiao Hei, "Don't worry, Xiao Hei, I'll definitely heal your brothers! Just tell me what you want to eat anytime~"
Little Black grinned, showing his teeth, and said, "Hehe, it's wrapped!"
Xie Yun-yang has been summoned away for some time now, and I wonder what's going on in the Imperial Study, and what it's about that made him need to be called there.
Sheng Sheng watched the palace servants tidying up the back garden with great boredom. Later, she got so bored that she couldn't sit still and started helping to tidy up herself.
After a while, news finally came: "Princess, there is news!"
She threw down her hoe, lifted her skirt, and ran out of the field, shouting, "What happened? What happened?!"
Xie Yunwen also looked over.
"Princess, the Imperial Study is in complete chaos! You'd better go and take a look!"
—The Imperial Study.
Xie Yuxiao sat upright on the dragon throne, looking troubled.
The three people kneeling beneath the throne, besides Xie Yun, who had just been summoned, were Empress Zheng, who had been under house arrest, and Consort Liang from Liuyun Pavilion.
It turns out that Xie Yuxiao had always had spies planted in Kunning Palace and Liuyun Pavilion. A few days ago, the letter from Empress Zheng to Consort Liang had just arrived at Liuyun Pavilion when Xie Yuxiao found out about it.
Therefore, Xie Yuxiao always knew that Empress Zheng and Consort Liang had been secretly exchanging letters. He knew the first time he found out, he knew the second time he found out, and he knew every single time.
The reason he didn't stop it was because Xie Yuxiao knew that Consort Liang didn't love Xie Yunwen, and Xie Yunwen had been deceiving herself. He wanted to use this opportunity to make Xie Yunwen fully recognize him as her mother, so he silently indulged her.
I never expected that these two would be so ruthless when they joined forces, not even sparing the Rejuvenating Grass.
Even if we take a step back and say that this herb is not only the medicine Xie Yunwen used to treat his illness, it is also a rare and precious medicine in the world.
He never expected that his wife, his empress, would still not repent after he had given her a chance, and would do such a thing!
Xie Yuxiao slammed his hand on the table, his chest heaving with anger: "Empress, you are the Empress, how can you have such a narrow mind! I have already given you one chance. I thought you would have learned your lesson after being confined for so long, but I did not expect you to be so stubborn. Not only have you not realized your mistakes, but you have also become even more reckless!"
Empress Zheng was equally furious. She glared back at him and gave a mocking smile: "I never expected that my husband, the man beside me, would plant spies around me."
