Chapter 18 The daughter of the prime minister becomes a concubine, Su Yurou is furious!
But before the prince could speak, Nan Zheng suddenly angrily scolded Liu:
"How dare you insult the Regent's mother-in-law! Who gave you the guts? Who else do you want to punish, you shrew? Wasn't the lesson before enough?"
Only then did Liu remember that people from the Regent's Palace were there. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she shut up on the spot.
The Queen and the Crown Prince both paused, exchanged glances, and finally endured it.
After all, now is not the time to turn against the Regent.
"Your Highness," the Imperial Master whispered, "You must have the sincere help of the Heavenly Phoenix to become a True Dragon."
The Queen finally remembered the most important thing, and immediately regained her composure. She said kindly:
"Alright, listen to me."
"Yun Zhiping's actions were indeed wrong, but we are family after all, so we should at least give him a chance to mend his ways. How about having him return what he took and pay a fine as apology? I will cover the remaining amount, and we can put this matter behind us."
"After all, the Crown Prince is going to marry Bai Lian as his principal wife. If her family is driven out of the palace, it will be shameful for the Crown Prince. How about this matter be considered as giving the royal family some face?"
The Queen said such nice things. Yan Jinghua and Old Man Yun exchanged glances and nodded.
It was already known that Yun Zhiping was extravagant and had no business acumen. His current private property could not make up for the losses he had embezzled. Unexpectedly, the queen was willing to pay for him, which was actually a good thing for her family.
Yun Zhiping and his family of three breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the queen flatteredly, and felt proud again.
Yun Bailian glanced at Yun Qingqing, sneered in his heart, and wait and see!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne in the future! When that happens, I, the Crown Princess, will become the Queen and the mother of a country!
You are just a princess who is so ugly that she is shameful to be seen, what are you?
…
On the second day, the emperor indeed issued another decree to grant the marriage.
The whole city knew that the prince would marry the second daughter of the Yun family as his principal wife, and the most talented woman in the capital and the daughter of the prime minister would become a concubine!
Yun Qingqing accompanied her mother in drinking medicinal tea. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and listened to Qiao'er's report with a smile while eating them.
"...I heard that Su Yurou was furious and blocked the entrance to the Crown Prince's residence, trying to get an explanation, but she didn't even get to see the Crown Prince!"
Qiao'er said this vividly, and suddenly her face fell and she pursed her lips.
"The guards at the Crown Prince's Mansion said that the Crown Prince took Yun Bailian on a boat trip! I don't know what kind of luck she had, to be chosen as the Crown Princess out of nowhere... Qiao'er feels so sorry for her!"
Yun Qingqing spat out the melon seed shells nonchalantly and sneered:
"That's not necessary. It's not good luck at all. It's more like she has terrible bad luck."
That scumbag has done so many evil things and is almost dead, yet he comes here specifically to drag Yun Bailian into trouble. This is really amazing.
Qiao'er was confused. Yun Qingqing didn't explain and grabbed another handful of melon seeds:
"Keep talking. Miss Su is not a pushover. Isn't there something exciting to watch this time?"
Qiao'er shook her head in confusion:
"Miss Su did want to go to the lake to look for someone again, but Prime Minister Su suddenly rushed over and stopped her. Strangely enough, I don't know what the Prime Minister said to her, but she just went back obediently and didn't make a fuss again."
Yun Qingqing exchanged glances with her mother.
"Hehe, Prime Minister Su seems to love his only daughter, but in the final analysis, he is just using her as a tool to fight for power and profit." Yan Jinghua curled her lips sarcastically.
Yun Qingqing deeply agreed with this. Prime Minister Su and the Crown Prince were birds of a feather. What was the big deal about sacrificing one's daughter's position as the principal wife for the sake of serving the emperor?
But at the same time, she had a hunch that there was something else behind the prince's decision to marry Yun Bailian as his principal wife.
But never mind, it’s best to lock up those scumbags and bitches. Not letting them harm others is the greatest contribution you can make to the world.
"Having said that, the medicinal herbs sent by the Regent are indeed effective. Mother is feeling much better now. And I see that your face looks much better than yesterday." Yan Jinghua said with relief.
Yun Qingqing smiled but said nothing.
What that guy sent were naturally good things, but if I hadn’t taken action myself, even ten Doctor Tangs wouldn’t be able to achieve such a therapeutic effect.
The next few days were calm.
In addition to preparing various medicinal herbs, Yun Qingqing also spends a lot of time drawing talismans every day.
She explained to her grandfather and mother that she had studied these things from ancient books she had come across when she was secluded at home. She had never expected that her amazing talent would actually come in handy.
Although the two found it unbelievable, they did not pursue her and just let her go.
The second family seemed to be much more obedient these days, but every night Yun Bailian would flatteringly serve a delicious midnight snack to "apologize" to Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing accepted it all and ate it all in front of Yun Bailian, pretending not to see the viciousness in her eyes.
Until the seventh day of "One Poison a Day".
When Yun Bailian delivered the midnight snack, she suddenly discovered that Yun Qingqing was wearing a veil.
"...Sister, why did you suddenly cover your face?" Yun Bailian seemed surprised, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
"It's nothing, I just caught a cold and can't be exposed to the wind. Put your things down and you can go." Yun Qingqing's voice was a little irritable.
Yun Bailian suppressed the smile on her lips, put down the plate, and said with pretended concern:
"Sister, if you're not feeling well, would you like me to get a doctor to see you?"
"No need! Go down!" Yun Qingqing's voice became even colder.
"...Okay then, sister, please take care of yourself." Yun Bailian left with satisfaction.
Haha, damn Yun Qingqing is not only ugly but also stupid!
This time, the poison will not only prevent her face from healing forever, but it will also be impossible to eradicate it even after taking it for half a month!
By then, her face will gradually rot and spread to her whole body little by little!
Even the blind regent couldn't tolerate a smelly and rotten princess!
You will die in everyone's disgust!
…
Yun Qingqing watched Yun Bailian leave with interest, a sneer on her face.
I have been taking the "Youyan Yujing" talisman for seven days in a row, and today I have been reborn. The skin on my face has scabbed and fallen off a lot. I can't let her see it, otherwise it will be a surprise.
When the people left, Yun Qingqing was about to lift her veil to eat, but suddenly her brows furrowed and she said sternly:
"who!"
"Princess, it's me!" Nan Zheng appeared quietly and said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Yun Qingqing was stunned. "What are you doing here?"
Nan Zheng hesitated for a moment:
"I would like to ask you something first. When you stopped the prince's carriage, you said 'the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the hour of the twilight hour.' What did that mean?"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows, understood, leaned back lazily in her chair, and said with a smile:
"No wonder you came to see me. Today is the first day of the new year. Did that guy have a seizure?"
Nan Zheng’s eyelids twitched. How could the princess address the prince like that... Forget it, now is not the time to worry about so many things!
He immediately knelt down on one knee and said:
"It seems that the princess really knows the inside story! Please go to the palace and help the prince!"
