Chapter 303: Marrying Far Away
How could she not want to?
But now she is in this state, how can she take revenge?
In order to arouse her fighting spirit, Concubine Shen continued, "Song Yunxi and Yu Ziche have hurt you to this extent, do you really want to let it go?"
After her daughter woke up, she told her that it was all Song Yunxi's plan. It was Song Yunxi who forcibly implanted the insect into her body. Concubine Shen wanted to kill Song Yunxi right then and there to avenge her daughter.
Concubine Shen could only provoke her daughter: "And Yu Ziche, you have admired him for so many years, but he treated you so cold-bloodedly, don't you want him to regret it?"
She knew her daughter too well. Perhaps her hatred for Song Yunxi was not enough to support her strong will, but her unwillingness and resentment towards Yu Ziche certainly could!
Sure enough, after hearing Yu Ziche's name, hatred burned in Ye Wenshan's dim eyes, and she seemed to have recovered from her despair and helplessness.
"Mother is right, I want him to regret it!"
Not only do I want him to regret, but I also want him to kneel at my feet and beg for mercy.
In order to have that day, she can endure any kind of pain and torture!
"Mother, I can do it. I definitely can do it!"
Concubine Shen breathed a sigh of relief when her daughter finally found the fighting spirit.
He is just a man. She doesn't care how many men she finds for her daughter. However, because her daughter has a drug bug in her body, her vitality will be depleted when she has sex with a man. If this continues, she will sooner or later run out of vitality and die.
How could she bear to see her daughter end up in such a situation?
This also prompted her to completely give up the idea of finding a man for her daughter.
It was just a beautiful idea, but the reality was cruel. Even if Ye Wenshan insisted, the effect of the drug bug on her did not diminish at all. On the contrary, it rebounded because of her abstinence for a period of time and it was out of control.
Her daughter became thinner and thinner, and Concubine Shen cried all day long, but she could do nothing.
The end of the year is approaching, and the day when Ye Wenshan sets out to marry in Northern Chu has arrived as scheduled.
Concubine Shen was worried about her daughter, so she never let her go back to her own Niyue Palace. Even when she got married, she lived in Linhua Palace.
On this day, the interior of Linhua Palace looked festive with the color red, but there was not a trace of joy in the entire palace. The palace servants did not dare to speak out, for fear that they would be affected by the noise. The whole atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.
In addition, Ye Wenshan, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress and looked haggard, made the Linhua Palace even more eerie.
Concubine Shen held Ye Wenshan's hand and solemnly warned her: "Shan'er, if you stay here now, people will only criticize you and it will only increase your pain. Maybe you will get better if you marry to Beichu and change your environment."
"Moreover, the Second Prince of Northern Chu will definitely inherit the throne in the future. He has also promised your father that he will make you the queen. By then, no matter if it is Song Yunxi or Yu Ziche, they will all be your slaves and you can do whatever you want with them!"
But Ye Wenshan had a dull look in her eyes and turned a deaf ear to everything, like a broken doll without a soul. No matter what Concubine Shen said, she could not get any reaction at all.
Concubine Shen cried even harder. She really didn't want her daughter to leave her side.
The nanny beside her comforted her: "Don't worry, madam. I will definitely protect the princess even if it costs my life."
This nanny was Concubine Shen's personal maid when she was still in the boudoir, so she was naturally very trusted, otherwise she would not have been allowed to marry and go to Northern Chu with Ye Wenshan.
"Shan'er will rely on you in the future. If you encounter any difficulties in Beichu, you must send a letter back. I will definitely try my best to help you."
Concubine Shen lowered her voice and handed a porcelain bottle to the nanny: "During this journey, if Shan'er is really... the men in the accompanying carriage are all prepared by my order. They have been fed with medicine and are asleep. Shan'er can just feed them an antidote to wake them up when needed."
"I've remembered it all."
The Seventh Princess married far away in Northern Chu in a low-key manner without causing any trouble, and the dowry she brought with her was also pitifully small.
Concubine Shen wanted to prepare more dowry for her daughter, but all the property of the Shen family was confiscated by Emperor Qinglong to fill the national treasury. Even all the property in her Linhua Palace was not spared, so she really had nothing to give.
Emperor Qinglong even used the excuse that he was penniless and only symbolically put together a box of calligraphy and paintings.
Fortunately, Ye Wenshan grew up in the presence of the Empress Dowager. Especially since her own son and granddaughter were not around for a long time, Ye Wenshan brought her a lot of comfort and joy, and the Empress Dowager also truly loved her.
When he knew that she was going to marry far away in Northern Chu, he shed many tears silently and even blamed Emperor Qinglong for it.
The governor knew that the matter was settled, so he prepared a lot of dowry for Ye Wenshan, hoping that she could live a better life in Beichu.
But even with the dowry prepared by the queen mother, it was just a drop in the bucket for a princess.
Ye Wenshan, the darling girl who was once the apple of everyone's eye, married in such a shabby way. Even the wedding procession was so shabby that it was not presentable.
Facing Concubine Shen's crying and complaining, Emperor Qinglong could only helplessly explain: "Shan'er's current situation is special. If she is too high-profile, it will only attract attention. Then her affairs will not be hidden from the Northern Chu envoys, and the Northern Chu queen position will change in the future."
After hearing Emperor Qinglong's explanation, Concubine Shen calmed down, but she still felt distressed for her daughter who she had raised with great care.
"Don't worry, this is just a temporary measure. Once Shan'er settles down in Northern Chu, I will definitely compensate her. I will not let that kid from Northern Chu look down on our Shan'er."
Concubine Shen completely believed the big promises made by Emperor Qinglong, and could only hope that after changing her environment, her daughter would be able to completely get rid of the control of the drug insects and live a good life.
Qingyun Pavilion.
Emperor Qinglong took a sip of tea and said, "Wentian, I want Xubai to come to the court."
Song Wentian was not surprised by his decision: "Brother, have you thought it through?"
Emperor Qinglong nodded affirmatively: "The death of the Crown Prince of Nanyue and the complete destruction of the Second Prince of Beichu have shown me Xu Bai's intelligence and means. It is a pity that such a talent is not accepted by the court."
"But he is from the Qin family."
Emperor Qinglong smiled bitterly: "Even you want to tease me?"
"I know that I was too suspicious and did many wrong things in the past. Fortunately, you and Xi'er made me wake up. For the sake of Jin'an, I can't waste a talent like Xubai."
Song Wentian smiled: "Brother, I have been waiting for this day."
After getting Song Wentian's approval, Emperor Qinglong was obviously relieved. However, he was still quite helpless and distressed when thinking of Song Yunxi: "As for Ye Xuanrong's background, I have to find a way to make it clear in front of Xi'er, otherwise I will be scolded to death by that venomous girl."
"It seems that Senior Brother has indeed been scolded by Xi'er a lot."
The smile on Song Wentian's face widened: "In that case, Senior Brother, just find a suitable reason yourself."
After that, the smile on his face disappeared, he looked up at the stars in the night sky outside the window, his expression was tinged with a rare coldness: "It's time to resolve some things."
