The princess's journey to her distant marriage is long; therefore, the Ministry of Rites is instructed to prepare her dowry in accordance with the rank of Grand Princess, and to choose an auspicious day for her departure.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Prince Qin bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Wei Yingshuang collapsed to the ground, her eyes devoid of any light.
Empress Dowager Wei glanced at her, her voice tinged with displeasure, "Princess Fengxi, why aren't you thanking the Empress Dowager?"
Wei Yingshuang then realized what was happening and slowly kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, for your grace." When her forehead touched the cold ground, tears welled up in her eyes.
Su Yunfeng watched everything coldly, and was about to say something when Su Ruojin shook her head slightly at him.
At this point, the Emperor and Empress Dowager were already seething with anger, so there was no need to add fuel to the fire.
As for Wei Yingshuang's claim that she poisoned her...
Well, it can't be said that Wei Yingshuang completely wronged her.
However, some things seemed to be beyond her expectations.
Now is not the time to talk about these things.
The Su family members also tacitly agreed not to mention the matter once they left the tent.
When they arrived at the Su family's tent, Su Muyao had already woken up. Her face was pale, and she recounted everything that had happened to her.
Su Ruojin naturally knew that she had not summoned Su Muyao; Su Muyao had said that it was a nanny from the Empress Dowager's side who had come to deliver the message.
In that case, there are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that the Empress Dowager was behind this whole affair, and she was certain of success, so she didn't hesitate to have someone close to her invite her.
After all, to outsiders, Mu Yao is the adopted daughter of the Su family. Even if something happens, the Su family would never quarrel with the Empress Dowager for her sake.
Another possibility is that someone used the Empress Dowager's name to send a message, wanting to push Mu Yao to the side of Prince Qin.
Ke Muyao is usually gentle and rarely goes out. She has never offended anyone, so it is unlikely that someone would suddenly target her.
If we really have to say who is a possibility, then it's only Wei Yingshuang. But Wei Yingshuang's mind is entirely focused on dealing with me, so she doesn't have time to care about Mu Yao.
If that's the case, then only the first possibility remains, but I don't have any evidence right now.
"Mu Yao, do you remember what that old nanny looked like?"
Mu Yao nodded. "I remember."
Su Ruojin took the paper and pen and asked Mu Yao to draw.
Soon, the image of a nanny appeared on the paper.
However, the Empress Dowager had many maids around her, and the Su family had little contact with her, so they didn't recognize her immediately.
Su Ruojin put the paper away. It didn't matter if they didn't recognize it; as long as they were from the palace, someone would recognize them.
Seeing that Mu Yao was quite frightened, Su Ruojin comforted her, "Mu Yao, don't be afraid. Now that Wei Yingshuang has become the Princess Consort of Qin, no one will harm you for the time being."
"We have to thank Deng Yi this time. If he hadn't arrived in time to rescue Mu Yao, who knows what would have happened," Su Yuanchuan said with emotion.
"Prepare some gifts tomorrow, Yuanchuan and I will go to Young Master Deng's residence," Su Jiu'an said. Since someone had saved his younger sister, he should at least express his gratitude.
"good."
"Xiao Jin, what exactly happened with Wei Yingshuang?" Su Yunfeng asked, voicing his doubts.
Su Ruojin said, "Wei Yingshuang said I poisoned her, but she's only half right."
