Chapter 302 This Yu family... She had underestimated
Wei Zhao in the past.
He was indeed quite scary.
And he was good at calculating.
He had to weigh every step he took.
Her heart just tightened, maybe she was scared. Then she heard Yu Tingwan in a good tone: "Can you kill the emperor without anyone noticing?"
Wei Zhao:...
As expected, she is not an ordinary woman.
"Difficult."
He can't do it now.
Yu Tingwan regretted it.
"I heard that the royal palace has many offspring, many princesses, but very few princes."
Yu Tingwan blinked: "How many princesses are there?"
Wei Zhao replied: "More than fifty."
Yu Tingwan took a deep breath.
That old emperor is something!
"Where are the princes?"
Wei Zhao: "Six. Two died young, and now another one is dead. There are still the second prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince left."
"The second prince had an accident while hunting a few years ago and has a lame leg."
"The fourth prince's biological mother was originally just a palace maid who swept the floor, and her horoscope was in conflict with the dog emperor. She was not valued and had mediocre qualifications."
Yu Tingwan understood.
"Will His Majesty appoint the Fifth Prince as the Crown Prince?"
"No."
Not to mention that the Emperor is suspicious by nature...
even if he wants to...
Wei Zhao: "The Crown Princess is pregnant, the Empress's family will certainly take great pains for this child. The officials who previously supported the Crown Prince's party have handles in their hands. Once they get on the East Palace's boat, how can they get off easily? They will definitely stop it."
"The Crown Prince has just passed away, the Fifth Prince's party must always keep a low profile, how dare they write a letter openly to ask the Emperor to appoint another Crown Prince?"
Things in the officialdom are too complicated.
Yu Tingwan simply didn't ask any more, just listening to it gave her a headache.
There is no need to go to the palace to mourn, just go to the burial, it's quite relaxing. Yu Tingwan just took advantage of these few days to take a tour of the Shunguo Mansion.
However.
She frowned.
Her mother-in-law is still in the palace.
She glanced at Wei Zhao, the man looked calm.
Everything has been calculated, it is impossible that this point was not calculated.
Yu Tingwan felt relieved, finished her tea, and kicked Wei Zhao with her embroidered shoes.
Wei Zhao poured her another cup.
Yu Tingwan nodded: "I want to eat walnuts."
But she didn't want to peel them.
Wei Zhao looked over.
If it were someone else, they would have peeled the walnuts.
But Wei Zhao was asking for trouble, so
he said slowly: "I want to eat too." Yu Tingwan, who was waiting to open her mouth:...
What the hell.
Yu Tingwan tried in disbelief: "Then I'll peel it for you?"
If you dare to agree, you're done!
"How dare I."
Wei Zhao picked one up.
They were all raw walnuts, and the shells were too hard. But in his hands, with just a little force, there was a cracking sound.
The flesh was still intact, and under Yu Tingwan's amazed and envious gaze, he brought it to her lips.
Yu Tingwan took a bite.
Wei Zhao imitated her soft voice: "What do you think? I'm still quite sensible."
Yu Tingwan:...
Say this, don't use her tone, maybe she will believe it.
The carriage went directly through the gate of Shunguo Mansion, directly into Lanyuan, and stopped in the yard.
The rain was so heavy that it seemed to destroy the world.
There was water on the ground.
If you step on it, your shoes and socks will get wet.
Yu Tingwan was about to get off the ground.
There was a clanging sound, and Wei Zhao picked her up horizontally. He took
big steps.
The lights in the room were on.
Yu Tingwan was settled on a chair by Wei Zhao, and she saw steaming longevity noodles on the table.
The portion was not large, but it smelled very good.
The wind was strong outside, and the door was closed.
"For me?"
Wei Zhao had no idea that her birthday had already passed. He frowned and said helplessly, "It's too late."
"Not too late."
The light in the room was dim and would not dazzle anyone's eyes, but Yu Tingwan's eyes were inexplicably wet.
"Just like you, he appeared at the right time."
Whether in the previous life or this life.
He appeared when she was in the most difficult time.

Ning Suchan returned the next evening.
Although it rained heavily yesterday, the sky was particularly bright today.
She was tired all day, had not washed, and could not even eat a few bites of food. She just knelt in front of the spirit like other ladies.
Although there were cushions, it was also torture.
She was so tired that she took a nap in the carriage when she came back.
But after getting out of the carriage, she put away her fatigue, as if nothing could crush her anymore.
Ning Suchan walked in.
The housekeeper just came over.
Ning Suchan did not stop: "Is it okay to return?"
"Don't worry, Madam, the general is fine."
Ning Suchan nodded.
"I'm afraid I won't be free these days. You tell the people below to be alert and stay indoors to avoid mistakes."
The housekeeper said respectfully, "The Crown Prince's Consort has given instructions."
Ning Suchan paused and quickly continued to give instructions.
"Everyone in the mansion must wear plain clothes and no bright things are allowed. Especially those who go out to buy from the kitchen, chickens, ducks, fish and meat are not allowed to touch meat. You should keep an eye on them. Guizhi is back to recuperate, and no one dares to say anything, but there are people who are jealous. Don't let outsiders find him wrong."
The housekeeper continued to respond.
"The Crown Prince's Consort also gave instructions."
"When I came back from the palace, I asked the servants to take down all the red lanterns in the mansion. I also asked the servants in Lanyuan to run to the kitchen to give instructions."
Ning Suchan concealed her surprise.
She wanted to give more instructions, the housekeeper said.
"Don't underestimate the young age of the Crown Prince's Consort. She has given all the instructions. Don't worry, Madam."
He said respectfully, "The Crown Prince's Consort thought that Madam would be back
soon, so she asked the people to prepare the meals." Even though Ning Suchan was hungry, she had no appetite after smelling the strong sandalwood scent in the East Palace all day.
She was still feeling a little nauseous at the moment.
She was about to ask the housekeeper to leave
. "They are all easy to digest. A warm yam porridge mixed with a few slices of hawthorn. There are also a few refreshing side dishes to relieve the greasiness. The Crown Prince's Consort said that you have to go out early tomorrow, and even an iron man can't bear it. It's better to rest early after eating."
Ning Suchan stamped her feet.
If Yu Tingwan had just returned to Shangjing, she would have been flattering.
But Yu Tingwan didn't.
If she didn't see her, Yu Tingwan wouldn't get close to her.
Now everything is taken care of. It's just that Yu Tingwan has the ability to do it, so she did it easily.
This Yu family... She underestimated it before.
——Although
Wei Zhaoren was not in the palace, he knew everything that happened in the palace.
Yu Tingwan strolled around the mansion for a few days, but she was not able to tour the entire Shunguo Mansion.
But she heard a lot of things.
Shunzi was very smart. He talked about important things in front of Wei Zhao and other things in front of Yu Tingwan.
For example.
"Madam, you don't know that the crown prince's coffin is made of small-leaf red sandalwood. It is precious, such a pair is priceless."
Yu Tingwan was not interested in the crown prince, but she was interested in the coffin.
"Madam, it's a good thing you're back. You have to cry in the East Palace."
Yu Tingwan: "What if you can't cry?"
"Cry hard."
"Think about the painful things in this life and try to squeeze out a few tears."
Shunzi said: "There is a Lord Lu, whose mother died not long ago. Maybe he hasn't recovered yet. He cries the loudest in the East Palace."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Shunzi: "And our cousin."
He was talking about Ning Yunling.
"I went out early in the morning with an onion in my pocket. Before I even entered the palace, most of it was divided up by Prince Xiao and Miss Shen."
Yu Tingwan: ...
So exciting.
She suddenly felt a little melancholy. She should be there
at this occasion . How lively!
