The matter is of great importance, and Emperor Ming Yan will certainly not just listen to Jiang Hen's one-sided story, and will send people to investigate.
So Yan Shiyue withdrew first.
She asked someone to send Zheng Haoran and Jiang Tao back first, and then she went to pay a visit to the queen.
Speaking of which, Concubine Shu and the Eighth Prince have been taking care of the Empress Dowager for more than ten days, and she hasn't gone to see how they are doing!
As soon as she had this thought, someone rushed out from the corridor and bumped into her. She looked up in "panic", then turned to "surprise" and said with tears in her eyes: "Imperial Sister!"
He just wanted to throw himself into her arms.
Yan Shiyue decisively dodged to the side, and the Eighth Prince missed his attack. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
When the Eighth Prince turned around, there was no sign of any flaws on his face. He cried like a wronged child seeing his mother: "Imperial Sister!"
Well, it's quite into the role! Good acting!
Yan Shiyue commented calmly in his heart.
...
...
But the seventh prince is a chubby little boy with a round face and big eyes, and he looks quite cute when he cries. The eighth prince acts like an adult, well-behaved and behaves properly, and looks awkward when he cries.
So she was completely unmoved, just crossed her arms and watched the show calmly.
The Eighth Prince's eyes changed slightly, and he obviously realized something was wrong, but he was unwilling to give up and continued crying, "Royal Sister, please save me! Royal Grandmother...she, she is a little confused now, and she often beats me and spits on me. I really can't stand it!"
Yan Shiyue calmly accused him: "Criticizing elders, isn't that unfilial?"
"I'm telling the truth!" the Eighth Prince cried, "The Imperial Grandmother is ill, we should find an imperial physician for her! What good will it do if we delay like this?"
"That makes sense." Yan Shiyue nodded and said, "The elder's illness is very important, so why don't you go to Aye or the Queen, but come to me instead? You found the wrong person and delayed the Queen Mother's illness. Can you bear the responsibility?"
The eighth prince finally couldn't help himself and a trace of ferocity appeared on his face.
Then he said, "I am only trying to honor my grandmother. Isn't my sister my grandmother's granddaughter?"
"Yes!" Yan Shiyue said, "But a princess who is married is like water spilled out. It is usually not my turn to take care of the sick... Of course, I am also very filial to the Royal Grandmother, so if Grandma wants me to take care of the sick, I will go."
What you mean is, how dare you, a younger brother of mine, order me around?
Every word she said was reasonable. The Eighth Prince could no longer cry. He knelt on the ground and said, "Royal sister, please save me. The Queen Mother is torturing me... Please save me. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
What's the point of her asking for his gratitude?
Yan Shiyue chuckled, "Stop pretending? It would be better to just talk nicely, but you have to pretend." She bent down slightly and looked at him, "But, why do you think that I will save you after you have plotted against my children?"
The Eighth Prince suddenly looked up, his eyes clearly saying "It turns out it's really you!"
Yan Shiyue continued, "Besides, it's such a good thing to serve the sick, but you can't stand it after only ten days? How are you going to live in the future?"
Hearing her tone, the Eighth Prince really panicked: "I was wrong! I was wrong, sister. I will never dare to do it again! Please save me! I really can't stand it! I will always listen to you and do things for you! Please, sister!"
"Don't do that!" Yan Shiyue chuckled: "Everyone in the court is vying to work for me, why would I need a fool like you who is so arrogant and incompetent?"
She was too lazy to say anything more, so she threw her sleeves and prepared to leave.
The Eighth Prince was really anxious now, he jumped up and grabbed her, "Royal sister! Forgive her when you can! I am also your brother, why do you ignore me? Aren't you afraid that father will have a grudge against me?"
She pulled twice but failed to pull it away, so the Eighth Prince softened his voice: "Brother knows that sister is a good person! This time it is brother's fault, I admit it to sister! I promise not to do it again! Sister, please take a step back, let's reconcile, okay? Don't make father sad, don't let outsiders laugh at you!"
I have to say, the eighth prince is very good at speaking.
Yan Shiyue said coldly: "You are right, but you misjudged one thing..." She said word by word: "You schemed against your child, no mother will forgive you! I will never treat you as my brother again!"
"Yes!" The Eighth Prince also risked his life, "I did make a plan, but I have no ill intentions at all! I just want to befriend them! It's not a big deal to let a child come to my grandmother's place! My sister is willing to teach my third brother who killed the king and his father, and she is willing to take care of my seventh brother who speaks rudely. She will definitely not ignore me, right!"
He said threateningly: "I think the Royal Sister doesn't want people to know that the Royal Sister despises the Queen Mother so much!"
Yan Shiyue sneered and kicked him away: "I am willing to teach Sanlang because he is just a fool. He is not clear-headed and does not know the evil and does not think about the consequences... I saved Qilang for the same reason. He is stupid, but his heart is not bad. And you?"
She sneered, "First you instigated Qilang to steal the book, then you instigated him to talk nonsense about being the crown prince. You wanted to ascend to the throne by stepping on the corpses of your brothers. When your plan failed, you came up with another one to plot against my children. You are doing evil knowingly and have no bottom line..."
Halfway through her speech, she saw his face full of astonishment and laughed: "What? You don't think that no one can see through your shallow and stupid little calculations, right? Even someone as politically blind as me can see through it at a glance, right? Don't you think about the kind of people you see? Every day, you're wielding an axe in front of Lu Ban's door. Master Ba, you've become a sight in Chengdu, and you don't even know it?"
She clapped her hands and laughed: "I have to say, how can you have such a big face if there is a nose drawn in the sky?"
The Eighth Prince glared at her fiercely, but his mind was blank... shock, shame and disbelief actually overwhelmed his anger!
Yan Shiyue turned around and walked away. After she had taken a few steps, she said without looking back, "Not breaking up publicly is the last bit of dignity I leave for you. Don't provoke me again!" She strode away.
The Eighth Prince took a while before he slowly stood up, clenched his fists tightly, and walked out.
A few steps behind him, Emperor Ming Yan was sitting on a bench in the corridor, and Gu Jiuxing beside him was sweating profusely.
As soon as Yan Shiyue left the imperial study, Emperor Ming Yan remembered something. He wanted to call Gu Jiuxing, but then he thought it was time for dinner, so he followed her out, and then... he saw this scene.
Otherwise, how could such a busy place be empty for such a while?
Yan Shiyue has always disdained to conceal things. She would tolerate seven or eight such people for the sake of Emperor Ming Yan, but if she later discovered that they did not get along, she would not pretend to be close to them even in front of Emperor Ming Yan.
But Emperor Ming Yan really didn't notice that his son, the Eighth Prince, had such deep scheming.
Emperor Ming Yan said briefly to Gu Jiuxing: "Check."
Gu Jiuxing bowed: "Yes."
