What can the Dong family say in this situation?
Madam Dong cried and cursed, "Everyone says the princess is kind-hearted, but in my opinion, she is a vicious snake."
If she had been willing to save Lou'er, how could Lou'er have died? Master, Lou'er died unjustly! You must seek justice for Lou'er!
"Shut up! Are you out of your mind? That's the Regent's Consort, how dare you spout nonsense like that!" Minister Dong shouted to stop his wife's ramblings.
"Am I wrong? Didn't she save Li Yunjiao? If she could save her, why couldn't she save my Lou'er? I think she deliberately let him die. What kind of compassionate person is she? She's a murderer! Lou'er is dead, I don't want to live anymore, my Lou'er~~~"
Dong Menglou was Madam Dong's only daughter; how could she not be heartbroken?
Snap!
Vice Minister Dong slapped Madam Dong across the face, "If you want to die, then die now, don't drag the whole household down with you!"
Unlike Madam Dong, he wasn't unreasonable. He had already had someone find out what happened in the palace yesterday.
If Dong Menglou hadn't spat that mouthful of black blood onto the princess, she wouldn't have been poisoned at all.
While Madam Dong was criticizing the Princess for failing to save her, Vice Minister Dong was worried that after the Prince returned, he would settle accounts with the Dong family regarding Dong Menglou's plot to murder the Princess.
At the Prince's residence, Su Ruojin was drawing a picture when she received the news of Yaolan's sudden death.
Su Muyao had been asking a lot of questions about construction. Su Ruojin wasn't an expert in this field, but she had read some related books in her previous life.
It was impossible to build any aircraft or spaceships in this era, but she could share her knowledge about ancient ship construction with Mu Yao.
That's why she planned to draw out what she knew and give it to Mu Yao; anything more advanced would have to be studied by Mu Yao herself.
Upon hearing Huanzhi's report, Su Ruojin slowly finished her last transaction.
"Get ready, the imperial decree will be delivered from the palace soon."
Yao Lan did indeed die because of her.
Yesterday, when Su Ruojin passed by Yao Lan, she had already activated the Gu poison that Aya had placed on Yao Lan.
While others are eager to court death, Su Ruojin will not hesitate to take drastic measures.
Yao Lan's plan was precisely because she was certain that Yao Lan wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.
Su Ruojin remembered that someone once described her as having a soft heart.
Being soft-hearted isn't wrong.
But now that Yao Lan has died, will the other party still think she is a soft-hearted person?
Being soft-hearted towards family and friends, but being soft-hearted towards those who want to harm you, giving them chance after chance to hurt you, is not kindness, but foolishness.
The fact that she was able to cure the poison yesterday is because she had the ability to do so herself. If she hadn't been able to, she would have had to die with her child.
Now that Yao Lan is dead, Xiao Chen will surely send some rewards to appease her.
Sure enough, not long after the instructions were given, a palace eunuch came to deliver the imperial decree.
They offered some words of comfort, and as was customary, bestowed gifts such as gold, silver, jewels, cloth, and medicine.
Su Ruojin asked Huanzhi to select some to send to the Dowager Consort and Old Madam Zhao, and to keep the rest.
At this moment, Steward Zhang hurried over and reported to Su Ruojin, "Your Highness, the wife of the Minister of Works and his young mistress request an audience."
"Oh." Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.
"Take them to the front hall."
"yes."
When Su Ruojin arrived at the front hall with Huanzhi and Huanqing, she saw that Madam Wang and Li Yunjiao were already there.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin arrive, Madam Wang and Li Yunjiao hurriedly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your subject greets Your Highness."
"Madam Wang, Young Madam Wang, please rise. Young Madam is pregnant, there's no need for such formalities." Su Ruojin had Huanzhi help them up and seat them.
"Your Highness, I brought Yunjiao here specifically to thank you for saving her life. If it weren't for Your Highness's timely intervention, Yunjiao and her unborn child might have perished." As she said this, a look of lingering fear appeared on Madam Wang's face.
It's not an act; it's simply the truth.
Minister Wang specifically asked Wu Tidian before he learned how dangerous Li Yunjiao's situation had been.
Wu Tidian said directly, "Minister Wang, if I may be so blunt, if the Princess Consort had not been there at the time, your young mistress would have died along with her unborn child."
Lady Wang took a box from the maid behind her and opened it. "This is a small token of our appreciation. We hope Your Highness will not find it offensive."
Su Ruojin raised an eyebrow when she saw what was in the box.
It's unbelievable that Minister Wang's residence has such a thing.
