Chapter 87 The Princess Arrives
Seeing that he hadn’t made any movement for a long time, Shu Wan couldn’t help but feel anxious. She stared at the doctor and swallowed unconsciously.
The doctor finally withdrew his hand.
"How is she, doctor?" she asked, rubbing her hands.
"This girl is indeed pregnant. Judging from her pulse, she is now two months pregnant." The doctor stroked his beard and spoke seriously. This was the result he came to after repeated confirmation, and it could definitely not be wrong.
"Is that so!" Shu Wan's face was full of surprise, and he said with a little excitement, "Thank you, doctor. Please don't tell anyone about what happened today. Thank you!" As Shu Wan said this, he stuffed a few silver bills into the doctor's hand.
"Yes, sir, rest assured, I will never say a word to anyone!" After receiving the banknote, the doctor solemnly promised that he also had to support his family. After receiving the money, and considering his ethics as a doctor, he would never say anything more.
Trouble comes from the mouth. He just heard these people introduce their family background. She is the daughter of Shangshu Yang's family. He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself and his family.
Shu Wan happily saw the doctor off, then leaned against the carriage waiting for Yang Xinru and her maid to wake up.
The dosage of the drug the doctor used was not strong, so Yang Xinru woke up half an hour later.
"Ah!" After Yang Xinru opened her eyes, the scene before she fell into coma was still in her mind, so she screamed in fear and subconsciously covered her chest, "Don't come over here, don't come over here!" She stretched out her hands and grabbed in front of her randomly.
"Don't get excited!" Shu Wan side-glanced and reminded her.
Yang Xinru's mind slowly came back to consciousness, and she recalled the scene before she fell into a coma. She was slightly relieved that nothing unexpected had happened to her.
But why did she suddenly fall into a coma?
"You saved me!" she said slowly.
"Yes, I saved you!" Shu Wan answered her.
"Then why would I..." Why would I feel dizzy?
"If you ask me, who should I ask?" Shu Wan said unhappily, "How should I know why you suddenly fainted? I have been waiting for you here for a long time. I tell you, don't blackmail me this morning. I didn't do anything to you!" Shu Wan looked as if she was afraid that Yang Xinru would blackmail her, her face was full of fear and warning.
Hearing this, Yang Xinru was really amused by her.
"Don't worry, sir. I know you saved me. How could I repay kindness with evil?" She knew that Shu Wan might not have the money to compensate her, or he might have lost his life because of it.
But she is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong and repays kindness with enmity.
"That's good. In that case, bye!" Shu Wan has been waiting for her for so long very humanely. There is no need to waste time here anymore.
"Sir, wait a moment!" Yang Xinru called her.
"Anything else?" Shu Wan asked her without turning her head.
"I don't know your name, sir. If I have the chance someday, I will definitely repay you for saving my life!" Yang Xinru said seriously. The life-saving grace was as great as the sky, and she must repay it.
"There's no need to tell me your name. As for repaying me, don't worry, Miss Yang. You'll have the opportunity soon!" Shu Wan said as he walked away.
Yang Xinru was very confused after hearing what she said. She didn't know what Shu Wan meant by that she would have the chance to repay her soon.
She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was, so she just ignored it.
After what happened today, she didn't feel like going out again, so she took her maid back home.
Shu Wan walked with the wind. Everything was going so well for her. She hoped that Yu Jianning could bring good news soon.
Perhaps God heard Shu Wan's thoughts, so Yu Jianning rushed to the capital that night.
From his unkempt appearance, Shu Wan could imagine how desperately he had been rushing on the road during this period of time.
"General Yu, are you here to escape?" Shu Wan was a little suspicious. Yu Jianning was being chased and fled all the way here.
Yu Jianning was worried about her safety all the way, so he traveled day and night, wishing he could grow a pair of wings and fly to the capital. However, Shu Wan not only did not appreciate it, but also laughed at him.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If he had known earlier, he would have let those bad guys beat her to death.
"The princess who was married to a foreign country and died was named Fu Shuyin. She was born when Emperor Beishuo favored a palace maiden after getting drunk. Her mother died when she was born, and she was thrown into the Xinzheku to be raised. For more than ten years, no one admitted that there was such a princess. They just tacitly pretended not to know. Until Beishuo and Yu Chiyan were discussing a marriage, several princesses of Beishuo were unwilling to marry him and wanted to commit suicide. At this time, someone remembered such a princess. Emperor Beishuo took her out of the Xinzheku, gave her honor and a title. Only seven days later, she got on the sedan chair to go to Chiyan for the marriage! There is very little information about her, and this is all we can find at present!" Yu Jianning had spent a lot of effort to find out all this. Because he was worried about Shu Wan, he did not check for more details.
"Okay, these are enough." The news was not much, but he could not care less. Fu Shuyin grew up in Xinzheku and his background should be quite simple. If anything went wrong, it could be easily covered up. "We will go to the palace tomorrow!" Shu Wan made the decision.
"Are you really going?" Yu Jianning knew he couldn't stop her, but he still asked.
"I have to go." Shu Wan nodded, "I can't not go!"
Since she has already made up her mind, Yu Jianning has no choice but to cooperate with her.
Shu Wan told Yu Jianning the information he had found out in the past few days, and then the two of them made a plan overnight.
The next day, before dawn, Shu Wan and Yu Jianning got on a carriage and headed for the palace, because that was the time when the ministers of the court went to court.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of the main palace, a few ministers came in twos and threes, preparing to attend the court.
Seeing a carriage parked there, they didn't think much about it. After all, they all came to court in carriages.
But when a woman in gorgeous clothes (no, not gorgeous, but a phoenix crown and a bridal robe) got off the carriage, they unconsciously slowed down their pace, as fast as a snail.
"How dare you! Where did you come from? Why are you loitering at the palace gate? You are ordered to leave immediately, otherwise you will be arrested as assassins!" The soldier guarding the palace gate pointed at Shu Wan and Yu Jianning and shouted, preparing to rush forward to drive them away.
"General, please calm down." Yu Jianning spoke in a gentle voice, "I also ask the general to report to His Majesty that we are a marriage delegation from Beishuo, and we have come specially to meet Your Majesty!" Yu Jianning's voice was very loud and full of energy, ensuring that everyone here could hear the news.
One stone causes a thousand ripples, and I could hear the exclamations of the crowd one after another.
"You bold and unruly people, how dare you pretend to be the princess of Beishuo who is going to marry into the royal family." The officers and soldiers pointed at Shu Wan and Yu Jianning and cursed, "Everyone knows that the princess's team was assassinated at the border and has died. How dare you be so bold! How many heads do you have to chop off?" These officers and soldiers were already raising their long swords and rushing over to arrest people.
"General, please be patient!" Shu Wan opened her red lips slightly, her eyes full of smiles, "If we were pretending to wait for me, how could we be so bold? Haven't we lived enough? We have evidence to prove our identities!" She spoke slowly and loudly, making people inexplicably believe her.
"What evidence?" This was a serious matter, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate did not dare to be careless, so they asked this. He felt that what Shu Wan said was indeed the case. If she was not a princess married for a foreign country, how could such a ruthless person dare to impersonate her.
At this time, many ministers had gathered at the palace gate.
It turns out that everyone has a gossipy heart.
"Your Highness Prince Li can prove my identity!" Shu Wan said, glancing at the ministers gathered here, "Words are not enough, I have His Highness Prince Li's token as proof!" She took out Yuwen Yan's jade pendant and showed it to everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement. It was indeed the jade pendant that symbolized Li Wang Yuwenyan.
But this is too fantastic. Why would this princess of Beishuo know the current prince Li? Besides, didn't the princess of Beishuo die?
Shu Wan curled the corners of his mouth and listened to the ministers' discussions.
"On that day in the border city, the marriage team was in danger. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Li came to the rescue and escorted all the way to the capital!" Shu Wan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the ministers to hear. "Because we were afraid of being hunted down again, His Royal Highness Prince Li and I concealed our identities and went to the capital. Because His Royal Highness Prince Li had important matters to attend to, he could not personally escort me to the palace, so he specially lent me his personal jade pendant to help me enter the palace and meet the emperor smoothly!" She told the whole story.
Only then did everyone understand what was going on.
The soldier guarding the palace gate took the jade pendant, looked at it repeatedly, and then spoke respectfully.
"In that case, please wait here for a while, young lady."
When he was leaving, he reported the news to the commander. When the commander heard it, he was also shocked and felt that the matter was of great importance, so he also quickly reported it.
The matter was reported all the way to the emperor.
The emperor almost dropped his fist in shock.
The ministers already knew it when they arrived at the palace gate. When the emperor found out, they rushed to express their opinions.
"Reporting to Your Majesty." A minister immediately stood up to express his opinion, "I think this matter is of great importance, and we should meet the so-called princess who is to be married to the prince!" This person is a supporter of the prince.
Your Majesty, the news that the Princess of Beishuo was assassinated has long been known to the world. In my opinion, there is no need to summon this woman, because she must be a fake. Otherwise, if someone else comes tomorrow and claims to be the Princess of Beishuo, will Your Majesty still summon her? Then wouldn't I, Chi Yan, be helping them solve the case?" He firmly disagreed to let the Princess of Beishuo enter the palace.
"But this person has His Royal Highness Prince Li's jade pendant as evidence, how could it be fake?" Someone immediately retorted.
"The jade pendant may not be real!"
"Then you can invite King Li to the palace and let him personally identify the authenticity. If this woman is real, then she should be brought into the palace to wait for her wedding with the crown prince. If she is a fake, cut off her head and hang it on the city wall for public display." This man's method was relatively fair, because he was the neutral party. "It's nothing to drive this woman away, but if he finds out one day that this person is indeed the princess of Beishuo, she has mobilized so many people today, and countless people have known about it. I'm afraid it will damage your majesty's reputation."
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
…
"Enough," the emperor raised his hand to signal them to stop arguing. Their faces were red and it made his head buzz with pain. "Please invite the so-called princess to come in, and then invite Prince Li!" He waved his big hand and decided the matter.
"Yes!" Someone immediately took the order.
When the eunuch from the palace came out to pick up Shu Wan, she knew that she had succeeded.
"This old servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Her Royal Highness be blessed with good health!" The eunuch Jiang Gonggong bowed respectfully and greeted her. "The people below are blind and dared to stop the Princess. When His Majesty found out, he was very angry, so this old servant came to greet the Princess immediately!"
"Please stand up, sir!" Shu Wan helped him up and stuffed a purse into his hand. "It's really Shu Yin's fault for bothering you to make this trip!"
"Princess, you are embarrassing me!" Eunuch Jiang put the purse into his sleeve without leaving any trace, and said with a smile. "Princess, please follow me into the palace. His Majesty is waiting for you." As he said this, he made a gesture of invitation.
"Please come in, sir!" Shu Wan politely gave way.
Eunuch Jiang led the way in front, and Shu Wan followed behind, feeling a little amused.
Let’s say a princess from another family comes to marry a princess. There’s a group of people in the marriage team and a group of people in the welcoming team.
When she came here, she was with Yu Jianning, and Eunuch Jiang was with two young eunuchs.
Even this princess is fake! Tsk tsk!
Shu Wan followed him into the palace, and almost at the same time, the news came from the prince's mansion.
When Yuwen Yan heard the news, he was completely confused.
The eunuch who came to report the news did not mention the jade pendant in Shu Wan's hand. He only said that someone claimed to be the princess who was to be married to a foreign emperor, and that he was the one who escorted her to Beijing. Now the emperor wanted him to go to the palace to distinguish the authenticity.
Yuwen Yan immediately followed him into the palace. On the way, he felt a little confused.
He didn't know who this so-called princess was, but he had a vague guess in his heart and an idea flashed through his mind.
I hope it's not what he thinks!
Leaning in the carriage, he closed his eyes and dozed off, thinking a lot, but his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
The carriage soon stopped at the palace gate.
He walked very fast, his steps a little unsteady, not just because of Shu Wan.
The princess entered the palace for marriage, so who was the person he killed? His intelligence was not false, and his plan had not been leaked.
This shouldn’t happen. It shouldn’t be discovered by anyone.
He couldn't understand why the marriage team he had been monitoring was replaced without anyone noticing.
He quickly walked outside the hall and rushed in almost the moment he received the order to meet the emperor.
The first thing he saw was a beautiful red figure, and his heart skipped a beat!
