691 Pretentious Woman Exposed (3)
Shadow Thirteen descended from the sky. “Princely Heir Consort, are you leaving the palace?”
“No.” Yu Wan shook her head. “I’ve decided to stay.”
“What?” Shadow Thirteen was stunned.
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes and said, “I want to stay in the bedchamber in the palace. I also made a sudden decision. Go to the State Preceptor Hall and find someone for me.”
!!
“What is the Princely Heir Consort going to do?” Shadow Thirteen asked.
“Of course to deal with the Empress,” Yu Wan said.
The Empress had blinded the Emperor. Unless she admitted it herself or the Emperor saw it with his own eyes, no one could take her down. That woman’s cultivation was too deep. It was basically impossible for her to admit it herself. It was not easy for the Emperor to catch hold of her weakness, but they could stage a smokescreen.
Shadow Thirteen asked, “Princely Heir Consort, do you want me to look for Wan Feng?”
Yu Wan nodded. “That’s right. After dinner later, I’ll think of a way to drug Nangong Yan and make her condition worse. It’s Old Cui’s medicine. The imperial physician won’t be able to diagnose anything. At that time, the Emperor will definitely ask the State Preceptor Hall for help. Tell Wan Feng to come.”
“Can he come?” Shadow Thirteen expressed his doubts. Since the Emperor had invited him, the person who should be invited should be the State Preceptor.
“He will have a way.” Yu Wan was confident in Wan Feng.
“What happens after he comes?” Shadow Thirteen asked.
Yu Wan weighed the ointment in her hand. “After he came, he divined for Nangong Yan that someone’s fate jinxed her.”
In that case, Shadow Thirteen understood. “Does the Princely Heir Consort want to lure the Empress… to attack again?”
Yu Wan sighed. “She’s too favored by the Emperor. If we don’t catch her in the act, it’ll be difficult for the Emperor to suspect her.”
Shadow Thirteen’s expression turned solemn. “I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll pa.s.s the message.”
This was originally a flawless plan, but contrary to his wishes, Wan Feng was actually brought to seclusion by the State Preceptor.
Yu Wan was about to die of anger!
Bullsh*t State Preceptor. He didn’t enter seclusion early or late, but he went into seclusion at this critical juncture and even brought Wan Feng along! She couldn’t even cause any trouble!
Yu Wan returned to the room feeling stifled. Since the plan could not be carried out, there was no need for her to stay. She was too lazy to eat dinner and planned to bring the little fellows back to the manor.
When she entered the room, the little fellows were not around. She asked the palace maid and found out that the three of them had gone out to take a walk.
The palace maid said, “Commandery Princess Wan, don’t worry. With the nanny following, nothing will happen to the little masters.”
It would be strange if the nanny could keep an eye on her sons! A mother knew her sons best. The nannies had indeed followed them closely, but for some reason, the eggs disappeared in the blink of an eye! The nannies were so frightened that they panicked!
The few little black eggs strolled around the central palace and entered a room that emitted an agarwood and medicinal fragrance.
There was someone lying in the room.
They slipped to the bed and looked curiously at the unconscious woman on the bed.
This was Nangong Yan.
The three of them had seen Nangong Yan before, but at that time, Nangong Yan was dazzling. However, the Nangong Yan in front of them was withered and looked like a different person. The three of them did not recognize her.
They blinked at her.
Suddenly, a small mosquito flew to Nangong Yan’s face.
The enthusiastic Xiaobao slapped!
Half of Nangong Yan’s face was swollen. Unfortunately, the mosquito was not killed. It flew up and landed on the other half of Nangong Yan’s face.
Smack!
Er’bao slapped her again!
At this moment, the Empress came over with the palace maid carrying the medicine. The moment she entered the room, she saw the two brats slapping her daughter’s face. At that moment, she flew into a rage out of humiliation and lost her rationality. She walked over in three steps, roughly pulled Er’bao over, and shouted angrily, “What are you doing!”
“Ah, it hurts!” Er’bao’s eyes were filled with tears.
“Don’t bully Er’bao!” Xiaobao stomped his feet and was about to hug her hand when she slapped him.
Dabao blocked it for his brother. The slap did not land on his face but on his shoulder, but it was painful enough.
Xiaobao was furious. “You… you baddie! You bullied Er’bao and even bullied Dabao! I… I… I’m going to release Gu worms to bite you!”
Xiaobao finally remembered that he still had the little Gu that Master Ah Wei had given him. He did not care what Gu it was and threw it out!
“Ah—” The Empress screamed and fell to the ground.
On the other hand, the Emperor had not come to visit Nangong Yan for a long time. This time, the Empress had saved Dabao. On account of the Empress, he decided to come and see this unfilial daughter. Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, he heard the Empress’s scream.
“Empress!” His expression changed and he quickened his pace.
The Empress had been poisoned. Her entire body was itchy and in pain, and her entire face was swollen.
The Emperor said with heartache, “What’s wrong?”
The Empress grabbed her throat. Her throat seemed to be blocked and could not say a word. She gave the palace maid who was delivering the medicine a look. The palace maid understood and knelt down with the tray. “Your Majesty, just now, the Empress came to deliver the medicine to the Princess. When she entered the room, she found that the little masters were slapping the Princess. The Empress advised them to stop, but they refused to listen and even let insects bite the Empress!”
The Emperor frowned. He looked at the three strong little fellows and then at Nangong Yan, whose face was slightly swollen on the bed. His eyes darkened.
He knew the Empress’s personality very well. She was virtuous. Not to mention that she would not frame the little fellows, even if she really wanted to harm them, she would not use her daughter as a raft. She would never bear to hurt Nangong Yan.
So the palace maid’s words were true? Nangong Yan had been slapped by a few little fellows?
The Emperor said in a deep voice, “Why did you do this? Er’bao, tell me!”
Er’bao did not say anything.
Xiaobao said, “We’re slapping the mosquito!”
The palace maid said, “Nonsense. Where is the mosquito now?”
The Emperor glared at the palace maid. The palace maid lowered her head.
“We really were slapping the mosquito,” Xiaobao said.
The Emperor frowned. “Then the Empress advised you to stop. Why didn’t you listen? You even let insects bite the Empress?”
Xiaobao pointed with his little hand. “She bullied Er’bao and Dabao! Er’bao was in pain because of her! She even hit me! She hit Dabao!”
The child’s words were not as logical as adults, but it did not affect the meaning he wanted to express. To be fair, he believed the Empress, but he was unwilling to suspect the children.
“Did Commandery Princess Wan teach you to say that?” The palace maid asked.
The Emperor frowned. Did Ah Wan ask them to bully Nangong Yan and the Empress? To be fair, the Emperor believed the Empress, but at the same time, he was not very willing to suspect the children. There might be a misunderstanding.
The Emperor looked at the Empress, who was in unbearable pain. “Xiaobao said that you bullied them. Is there a misunderstanding?”
I didn’t bully them! I tried to persuade them nicely, but they pushed me down and even let strange insects bite me!
The Empress thought so in her heart, so she said that. However, the moment she spoke, all her words became different. “Yes! I bullied these little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”
The Empress was stunned!
The Emperor was also stunned. “W-what did you say? What did you say they are?”
The Empress was about to go crazy. What happened to her just now? Why would she say such a thing?
Your Majesty, listen to my explanation. It’s not like that. I didn’t scold them!
“Little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Why? Are you deaf? So what if they were beaten to death? They dared to slap my daughter!”
The Empress trembled in panic! How could this be? This wasn’t what she said! Although she thought so in her heart… she didn’t plan to say that!!!
“I… I…”
I liked them very much!
“I wish I could drown them!”
After the Empress said this uncontrollably, the Emperor’s expression changed.
