Chapter 163 He harbored murderous intent towards her
Dou Wenyi paused, her hand holding the silver spoon gleaming with unusual brightness. "Your Highness, I would like the Imperial Advisor to take the person to Qionglin Garden."
Pei Siyan raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face. "Not bad, that's a good idea. But who knows when we'll get to Qionglin Garden on our own?"
"What insightful opinion does the Crown Princess have?"
Dou Wenyi took a sip of bird's nest soup, and hesitated before asking, "Your Highness, can you really be so heartless?"
Dou Mingyan was his savior; the two of them had long been irreconcilable enemies, to the point of life and death.
This time, Dou Mingyan will definitely do everything she can to please Emperor Muzong. The emperor is already somewhat reluctant to leave, and may even legitimize her status as a concubine. Once she regains power, he will surely take revenge on her.
Therefore, she must plan ahead and take precautions.
Pei Siyan's expression seemed displeased. "Yi'er, no matter who it is, no one is as important as you. Dou Mingyan has tried to harm you time and time again; she should have died long ago!"
He was genuinely curious and continued to ask, "My irreconcilable feud with Prince Rui is because of the throne, so why did you two end up like this?"
Dou Wenyi didn't really want to talk to him about this topic. Now it seemed that the two thugs she encountered at the temple were very likely sent by Dou Mingyan. In her previous life, she had successfully ruined her reputation, and she was forced to marry Xie Guidu. Out of guilt, she always regarded him as her everything, and lived a miserable life.
And all of this was Dou Mingyan's conspiracy. Could it be that she went to such lengths just because she suspected that he would steal Pei Siyan?
No, she was certain that she would steal Pei Siyan away, but why?
In her previous life, she and Pei Siyan clearly didn't have much interaction.
She always felt that something didn't make sense.
"She's always liked to steal my things since she was little, and she often tries to frame me..."
Pei Siyan suppressed his smile, focusing on a key word: "grab".
"Yi'er, have you ever heard of loss of soul?"
Dou Wenyi shook her head, then nodded. "There are records in medical books that people who suffer from amnesia will forget many things and may lose some of their memories. There is no conclusion as to how much they forget, or whether it is about a specific person or a period of time. I have never seen this disease in real life."
Pei Siyan's heart skipped a beat; he had always felt that she resembled his Lian'er.
"...You really haven't been to Huaiyin County? And who did you learn medicine from?"
Dou Wenyi became a little wary and puzzled. "We've talked about this before. When we first met, I told you that I hadn't been there. I followed a wandering doctor."
With her master missing, her identity as 'Little Fairy Doctor' is her last trump card. Unfortunately, she can't be completely open with Pei Siyan after all.
Pei Siyan frowned, clearly sensing her strong resistance to the past and her complete lack of trust in him.
"Yi'er, you must try to believe me."
Dou Wenyi didn't want to delve into the matter further. "Your Highness, aren't we talking about Dou Mingyan? Could you send someone to scare her a little? Stop playing tricks!"
"How could you come up with such a thing? In that case, the Imperial Preceptor will surely go to Qionglin Garden. Excellent!" Pei Siyan vigorously rubbed her hands.
There was no rush to repay the life-saving grace. In fact, he had long suspected that Dou Mingyan was not his savior at all. If he could cure Jingyu's illness, he might be able to uncover the truth.
At this moment, in the study of Prince Rui's residence.
Prince Rui, Pei Shaoqin, sat lazily at the head of the table, his face as dark as ink, his well-defined hands toying with a jade ornament.
He didn't know when it started, but it seemed like he was plagued by bad luck; no matter what he did, nothing went smoothly.
Now, after several rounds, not only has the family of Uncle Tan Tianyou been implicated, but even Consort Tan has been demoted two ranks. And this disaster relief effort, which was going smoothly, was unexpected when Emperor Muzong suddenly decided to go to Qionglin Garden, and Shen Yanzhou directly stumbled upon the 'moldy porridge' incident.
He was also reprimanded by the emperor.
Even a clever cook can't cook without rice. Using moldy rice is no big deal, but that fool Prince Duan managed to do it all perfectly, making a big splash in front of the court officials and even Emperor Muzong!
He said casually, "Tell me about it."
Feng Tingyunmian twitched his lips. "Your Highness, be patient. Pei Siyan is half-dead. Even if we do nothing, we'll wear him down. Prince Xie, if you have any brilliant ideas, please share them with us. Don't hold back your knowledge any longer."
"I wouldn't dare," Xie Guidu said with a smile. "Your Highness, last time I advised you to have a longer-term perspective. Your Highness is destined to ascend the throne. No matter what, you shouldn't have manipulated disaster relief so much, after all, it's a matter of life and death."
Feng Tingyun smiled coldly, “Your Highness is mistaken. It’s better to let the common people suffer than to offend the noble families and relatives. After all, His Highness still needs their support.”
Pei Shaoqin carefully observed Xie Guidu's expression. "What Prince Xie said is absolutely right. I have learned my lesson and from today onwards, I will definitely keep my subordinates in check. However, I just feel that Pei Siyan's luck is exceptionally good, especially since he married Miss Dou as the Crown Princess."
"She is probably the blessed woman the Imperial Advisor is looking for!"
"After all, she always has the ability to turn bad luck into good. Maybe she really will receive divine protection and even bring that sickly Pei Siyan back to life."
Xie Guidu felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that Prince Rui had murderous intent towards Dou Wenyi.
He gripped the teacup tightly, took a sip, and said, “Your Highness, the Crown Princess is indeed somewhat unusual. The Imperial Advisor once predicted that she would be a jinx; she could not possibly be a blessed woman destined for good fortune.”
Prince Rui's expression suddenly turned fierce. "No matter who she is, I want her dead!"
