Qing Wu was not surprised that the wife of the Right Prime Minister would come to visit.
In the front hall, as soon as Qing Wu appeared, the wife of the Right Prime Minister immediately stood up to greet her.
Qing Wu: "No need to say more. I'll accept the thank you gift. As for the rest..."
Qing Wu smiled lazily: "Madam Right Prime Minister, rest assured, if I really want to cause trouble for Princess An, I won't do it this time."
The wife of the Right Prime Minister nodded repeatedly and felt relieved.
Qing Wu's words were not false. In essence, there was not much conflict between her and Princess An'er. The other party simply regarded her as an imaginary enemy and was just eyeing the big piece of fat meat, Xiao Chenyan.
At most he had caused trouble with words, but he hadn't done anything suicidal to the point where she wanted to slap him to death.
She would not take Princess An's life just for a few quarrels.
But...
She glanced at the Right Prime Minister's wife with a half-smile, "It is indeed not appropriate for Princess An to stay in the capital to recuperate, but if she is sent to Nanling, I am afraid she will never come back."
The wife of the Right Prime Minister felt a chill in her heart, and felt that the person in front of her was unfathomable.
She just hesitated about how to start.
"Princess, you have a brilliant plan. The idea of sending An Yi to Nanling was carried out by my Prime Minister. But don't worry, Princess. I can guarantee that An Yi has no illusions about His Royal Highness Prince Yan!"
This morning, when the Right Prime Minister was on duty, he casually mentioned to her that he wanted to send his daughter to Nanling, using the excuse of recuperating and relaxing, but in fact he wanted to take the opportunity to contact King Yan.
The wife of the Right Prime Minister felt that her husband had lost his mind at that moment.
He would send his daughter to the gate of hell, right? Does he not want his daughter to live?
After An Yi knew about this, she sat up in shock from her dying illness. If she was still unable to get out of bed, she would have come to Prince Yan's mansion in person to apologize today.
The wife of the Right Prime Minister comforted her daughter at that time, saying that she would dissuade the Right Prime Minister, but An Yu insisted that she come to Prince Yan's Mansion as soon as possible to talk to Qing Wu in person.
The wife of the Right Prime Minister thought her daughter was frightened at the time. This was because the Right Prime Minister had spoken to her in private and they had not started preparing yet. Although Princess Yan had extraordinary people like Madam Huang around her, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't just ignore what they said in private, right?
The wife of the Right Prime Minister was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She was surprised that she had listened to her daughter's advice and confessed on her own initiative.
Having said this, Qing Wu asked the guest to leave.
The wife of the Right Prime Minister wanted to say something but hesitated. However, considering Qing Wu's ability, she dared not open her mouth again and could only leave in embarrassment.
Little Black Turtle came in from outside, holding a candied haws in his hand, and said, "That man just had a lot of complaints in his heart, and I listened to him."
He blinked his eyes and said, "It seems like there is a bottomless pit in the human body that can never be filled."
Qing Wu couldn't help but laugh: "Desires are insatiable. In this respect, all the creatures in the three realms are the same."
Hong Rui came over with tea and couldn't help but say, "I just heard that the Right Prime Minister actually wants to send Princess Anyi to Nanling. Could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to let Princess Anyi get close to the prince?"
Qing Wu did not comment.
Hongrui was speechless and couldn't help but curse.
"Now that she is here, the county lady will not dare to have such thoughts about the prince anymore. However, what did the little river god mean by what he said just now?"
The little black tortoise took the tea, took a sip and found it bitter, so he put it aside and ate the candied haws while saying:
"That lady just now, she came here today and wanted to find Huang Mier to perform a ritual at her house. I guess she couldn't sleep well at night."
Hong Rui: "Is this because you have done too many bad things?"
"I have a lot of blood on my hands. I didn't know fear before, but now that I know I will go to hell after death, I am naturally afraid."
Qing Wu smiled and said, "That Situ Wei is not a bad person, but the wife of the Right Prime Minister is not a good person either. Now Situ Wei's body is still sinking in the lake of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so she is naturally very scared."
Hongrui suddenly realized that although Situ Wei should be punished for committing adultery with her brother-in-law, the wife of the Right Prime Minister was cruel enough to drown her concubine's daughter.
"She wants the princess to help deal with Situ Wei's body? That's a nice thought. The princess is very kind to help Princess An."
"It's not a big deal. Let's keep things one way and one way."
The soul exchange between Situ Wei and Princess An Yu disrupted the order of the two worlds, and it was her duty to restore order. But as for the rest, whether the feng shui of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos, and whether the Right Prime Minister's wife would suffer retribution, why should she care?
You are afraid now, but why weren’t you afraid when you beat and killed servants at will?
There was more than just Situ Wei's body sunk in the lake at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
"The thank-you gift from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion..."
"What are they?"
"I just checked. There are 100 taels of gold, some jade and coral ornaments, and dozens of oriental pearls. In addition, there are deeds to two manors outside the city and three shops on Dongxi Street."
Qing Wu's beautiful eyes lit up, and she chuckled, "The turtle has meat in its belly. The Right Prime Minister's family is rich."
The little black turtle looked at her resentfully: "I don't have any meat in my belly!"
Qing Wu stood up and moved the little turtle's head. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Exchange all these thank-you gifts for cash..."
She paused and looked at Hong Rui: "You and Lu Qiao go to the other manor and count how much silver you have on hand for me. Give me the exact amount later."
Hongrui agreed, thinking that the princess must have quite a bit of private money now, at least richer than the prince!
Alas, the prince does have a lot of private property, but he has to support such a large family in the North.
"Sister, do you need money?" The little black turtle looked at her curiously.
"Well, I owe some debt and I have to pay it back." Qing Wu didn't elaborate.
Everyone in the palace knows that their princess is keen on making money. Qing Wu is now very generous, but no one knows what she uses all the money for.
Even the Judge's Pen was unclear about her purpose. Although money was needed to do things in the underworld, to the big shots, the gold and silver in the world could not compare to the magic weapon of virtue.
"I have a lot of money, I can give it all to my sister!" The little black turtle pretended to empty his stomach.
Qing Wu stopped him and tapped his little head.
"That's the money others gave you for your vows. Keep it for yourself."
On the other side, the East Palace.
The prince remained in a coma and the imperial doctors were helpless. The atmosphere in the entire Eastern Palace was depressing and the servants were all in a panic.
The only one who could be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing was the Crown Princess. She was originally under house arrest, but now that the Eastern Palace had no master, she was released.
Xiao Chenyan entered the East Palace in broad daylight under the pretext of delivering a safety talisman. When the Crown Princess heard that it was Madam Huang from Prince Yan's mansion who sent the safety talisman, she let the person in.
She did not show up during the entire process, nor did she serve by the prince's bedside.
It can be said that there was no one else in the prince's bedroom except for two young eunuchs, and it was quite deserted.
But this is not surprising, as this is how people in the palace are.
When you are in a high position, you are surrounded by people, but when you fall, everyone hates you.
Now everyone thinks that the prince may not survive this, and even if he does, he may not be able to keep his position.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace felt that they were in danger. After the Crown Princess came out, she did not think about calming people's hearts, but was anxiously looking for a way out for herself. This way, it was convenient for Xiao Chenyan.
After the talisman was pressed down, the eyelids of the prince, who was originally unconscious, moved.
The young eunuch serving at the side was pleasantly surprised to see this.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about to wake up?!"
Xiao Chenyan looked calm, "Please call the imperial physician. I'll take care of this place."
The young eunuch could not care less for the moment: "Thank you for taking care of the prince. I will call the imperial physician right away."
There were two young eunuchs, one called the imperial physician and the other notified the Crown Princess. After they all left, the hall was filled with deathly silence.
The shadow under Xiao Chenyan's feet suddenly danced, as if something was trying to struggle out of the shadow.
The shadow was stretched out, extending towards the prince on the bed.
His pupils were pitch black, as if he had no consciousness of his own, and the shadow climbed up the bed little by little, breaking free from the ground, like a black sharp claw, as if it wanted to drill into the prince's body and find something.
Just as the shadow's sharp claws were about to touch Prince He, it suddenly froze.
The man's voice was solemn and calm: "So you were hiding in my shadow..."
The shadow dared not move, as if he couldn't believe that Xiao Chenyan could wake up.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were still dark, but there was a kind of terrifying evil and weirdness. He stared at the shadow and asked quietly:
"When you left Nanling, you split off one of your hands and turned it into my substitute and stayed there. It was for the Seventh King, right?"
"You have persuaded me to come to the East Palace today for the same purpose."
"You are looking for something, but you are not sure whether it is in the body of the Seventh Prince or the Crown Prince, or... is it in the bodies of all the descendants of the Xiao royal family?"
How can a person catch his own shadow?
But Xiao Chenyan did it.
He raised his hand and clenched it into the air. The elongated shadow was immediately pulled back. The ferocious shadow turned into a sharp claw and was grasped by him. The shadow was twisting and struggling, and seemed to be trembling.
His eyes narrowed dangerously: "What on earth are you?"
