Chapter 34 Anyone who marries a woman like this is doomed.
Was it called the wrong name?
Or perhaps, this eunuch was unaware of her divorce from Qin Ye?
Yun Si was puzzled, but remained outwardly calm and did not ask any further questions.
"Thank you for your trouble, sir."
She nodded politely, then looked to the other side.
A man dressed in the robes of an imperial physician bowed to her and asked, "May I ask, Princess Xiao, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Did he call it wrong too?
Yun Si gave a slight curtsy: "I'm fine now."
After saying that, she took Ah Wu's hand and got into the car.
At the gate, Granny Qian, Lu Yu, and Lan Xin watched with worried expressions as the carriage slowly drove away.
Oh, right!
Suddenly remembering something, Granny Qian hurriedly returned to the Prince's mansion.
I almost forgot, Eunuch Decai came from the palace; he has ways to get into the palace.
Tell him to go to the palace to find His Highness and tell him about Consort Shu taking Consort Yun away.
That put their minds at ease.
Yun Si and A Wu boarded the carriage, which sped along quickly and soon arrived at the palace gates.
"I'm sorry, Princess Xiao, there are just too many carriages coming and going from the palace today. We can only stop at the palace gate and walk into the palace."
The voice of a eunuch could be heard from outside.
The eunuch kept saying sorry, but his tone was completely businesslike.
However, this attitude was much better than Yun Si had imagined.
"It doesn't matter."
Yun Si led A Wu off the carriage.
At a glance, one could see that there were indeed many other carriages parked at the palace gate, and the people inside got off and walked towards the palace on foot.
She stood in front of the palace gate for a while, waiting for the people in front of her to walk a distance before she slowly began to walk forward.
The two eunuchs probably knew about her physical condition and had heard about her past experiences of fainting at any time, so they didn't dare to urge her and silently followed her pace, moving forward slowly.
I've only taken two steps.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang in my ears.
Before Yun Si could react, A Wu had already stepped in front of her to block her.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that she was holding a hidden dart between two of her fingers.
"A-Wu, you..."
Did she just catch a stray arrow with her bare hands?
Yun Si stared in shock at the cold-gleaming dart in her hand.
The arrow has an eerie blue glow.
This has been coated with a deadly poison!
A-Wu's eyes turned sharp as knives, and her gaze suddenly swept towards a corner of the palace wall behind her.
With a flick of her wrist, she threw the arrow back the way it came!
"Whoosh!"
"ah!"
A piercing scream came from the corner of the wall.
Immediately following was a dull thud as a heavy object fell to the ground.
The surrounding crowd immediately stirred, and the guards drew their swords in a state of alert.
"What happened?"
The eunuch leading the way turned pale with fright: "Who? Who dares to be so bold?"
Yun Si quickly looked around and found that the carriage parked not far away was the Jiang family's carriage.
Jiang Wanning was being helped out of the carriage by a maid, and he seemed to be startled by this sudden turn of events.
"Awu, don't move."
Yun Si held back A Wu, who was about to rush out, and whispered, "Let's see what happens first."
"Grab him!"
The man in black, who had fallen from the corner, got up and ran away before the guards arrived.
Someone saw clearly that his face was covered, but a hidden arrow was stuck in his eye.
"Who was that person just now? He's blind and bleeding a lot."
"I don't know. It looks like it fell from the corner of the wall. Could it be an assassin? It's even masked."
"He's an assassin, so how come he's injured himself?"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Yun Si realized that the hidden arrow that A Wu had casually thrown back had actually hit that person's eye.
Is this... skill, or luck?
The corner of the wall was quite a distance from them, and besides, the person was on high ground. It would have been easy to shoot her out with a bow and arrow, but she used her hands.
It can catch something with its bare hands and even return it!
That's just too cool!
Yun Si resisted the urge to kiss her twice, pulled her close and whispered, "Awu, you just saved my life."
It seems she wasn't meant to die.
The first time, Lin Shuyan used a Gu poison on her, but her blood automatically neutralized it. This time, she has another powerful A Wu by her side to protect her.
After being reborn, even my luck seems to have improved.
"Hey."
Upon hearing Yun Si's words, A Wu once again revealed her standard smile.
Grinning, baring teeth.
When she's not smiling, she's aloof and quiet, but when she smiles, she transforms into a silly goose.
"Walk."
Yun Si pulled her along, and the two walked discreetly toward the palace.
As she passed by Jiang Wanning, she glanced at him subconsciously.
Jiang Wanning was arguing with the maid beside him and did not notice Yun Si.
"What are you all good for? Don't you know how important today's Hundred Flowers Banquet is? How are you going to wear your dresses with mud on them? Go back and get some new ones! You're all idiots!"
Yun Si quickly walked past her.
This Jiang Wanning is arrogant, domineering, vicious, and ruthless. He is very harsh on those around him, often beating and scolding them. He is no kind person.
But she comes from a good family and is the eldest daughter of the royal family, so her status is extremely noble.
No matter how bad your personality is, you'll never lack admirers.
Whoever marries a woman like that is doomed.
If it weren't for the fact that the forces behind her were involved, leading the Prince of Jin to scheme to marry her, it wouldn't have been such a bad thing.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.
The places Yun Si passed through were all blooming with flowers, a truly breathtaking sight.
But she had too many questions in her mind to figure out, and no time to appreciate them.
It took almost half an hour to finally reach the venue for the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Before everyone had arrived, the banquet tables were almost empty. Some of the young masters and ladies from prominent families who had arrived earlier were strolling around the Imperial Garden, admiring the beautiful flowers and plants that they didn't usually see.
“A-Si”.
Suddenly, someone called out to Yun Si.
She turned around and saw two people walking towards her.
One is Shen Yu.
Seeing her wasn't surprising to Yun Si, but the other one was...
Lin Shuyan!
She actually appeared at the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace with Shen Yu?
Did they know each other in their previous life?
Yun Si is uncertain.
"A-Si, what exactly happened when you fell into the water at my house last time?"
"You should ask He Jingjing about that."
"What do you mean?"
Shen Yu said with a grim expression, "Don't you know that Jingjing is dead? You two fell into the water at the same time. Jingjing died, but you, this sickly girl, are perfectly fine."
"I'm fine. Are you disappointed?"
Yun Si spoke indifferently. A Wu, who was standing next to her, sensed Shen Yu's malice and suddenly turned her wandering eyes back to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was startled.
"who is she?"
Yun Si ignored Chen Yu and focused her gaze on Lin Shuyan.
Lin Shuyan's sudden move away from the Xiao Prince's Mansion was something she hadn't expected.
But she didn't believe that this woman would give up so easily; she must be planning something else.
"Speaking of which, A-Si, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You've already divorced Prince Xiao, so what gives you the right to stop His Highness from marrying Shu Yan as his concubine?"
"Noisy".
Before Yun Si could speak, A Wu became impatient.
If she gets impatient, she'll just take action.
Yun Si had no time to react, let alone stop it.
By the time she realized what had happened, Shen Yu had already collapsed to the ground, not knowing what A Wu had done.
"Miss Shen!"
Lin Shuyan was startled and quickly helped Shen Yu up, looking at A Wu with suspicion.
Who is this person?
Why has she never seen it before?
That look in his eyes... it seems so familiar.
"you."
A-Wu pointed at Lin Shuyan: "I won't hit you, let's go."
For some reason, Lin Shuyan felt inexplicably uneasy upon seeing this strange woman.
Moreover, the Gu worm that the monster gave her seemed to be restless again.
Now that Shen Yu has suddenly fainted, she dares not stay here any longer.
"Sister Yun, Shuyan has come to a realization recently. His Highness only has you in his heart. I have finally been given a second chance at life, and I also want to live my own life. So, from now on, we will keep to ourselves. I have already moved out of the palace, and I hope you will stop targeting me in the future."
Lin Shuyan said a lot of sincere things, then helped Shen Yu leave.
"Awu, did you knock Chenyu unconscious?"
After the two had walked away, Yun Si turned around and asked A Wu.
Awu nodded in agreement.
"Then why did you just say you wouldn't hit Lin Shuyan?"
Yun Si asked another question, and A Wu was about to answer when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
“A-Si”.
This time, it's Shen Qian.
In contrast, Yun Si now dislikes Shen Qian even more.
He was even more hypocritical than Shen Yu.
"I've finally met you."
When Shen Qian saw her, he was excited and stepped forward to take her hand: "Asi, do you know how worried I was about you? Xiao Wang is a despicable man. He has been holding you captive, not letting anyone see you, and not allowing any news about you to be released. Asi, I'm begging you, please leave him and come back to me, okay?"
"lie."
Once again, A-Wu spoke before Yun Si could: "Worried? It's fake."
"..."
"..."
The air suddenly fell silent.
Shen Qian seemed to only then notice A Wu, and turned to look at Yun Si: "Who is she? What she said is false?"
"nothing."
Yun Si suppressed the urge to laugh, tugged at A Wu's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
"She's a younger sister I recently adopted. She's young and doesn't know the rules, but she's very good to me. Please don't mind her."
"younger sister?"
"Um."
Shen Qian frowned and continued, "A-Si, this time I begged the Imperial Concubine to bring you out. After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, you will come back to the Shen residence with me, okay?"
I see.
Shen Qian couldn't see her or find out anything about her, so he asked Consort Shu to use the Hundred Flowers Banquet as an excuse to bring her out of Prince Xiao's residence.
That explains why Consort Shu suddenly sent her this invitation this year.
From this perspective, Shen Qian actually helped her this time.
“I said I wouldn’t leave the Xiao Prince’s Mansion until the evidence is found. Ah Qian, you should know me better than anyone else. I will never let the person who framed my manor get away with it.”
“A-Si…”
At this time, many people arrived at the banquet venue one after another.
Consort Shu arrived ahead of schedule.
She wore a crimson brocade palace dress and a golden hairpin with nine phoenixes facing the sun.
With each step she took, the pearl held in her phoenix beak swayed gently, accentuating her elegance, grace, and extraordinary bearing.
Her well-maintained face carried a dignified smile, but her slightly upturned phoenix eyes concealed a hint of sharpness and calculation.
Her fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, rested gently on the arm of the palace maid beside her as she gracefully approached.
He was followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, making quite a grand entrance.
"Princess Xiao, Lord Shen."
Consort Shu walked straight to the two of them, smiling gently as she asked, "What are you talking about?"
