Chapter 281 Why did you come just now?
After coaxing Ye Wenshan to sleep, Concubine Shen returned to her main hall, dismissed all the palace servants, and a black figure appeared behind the screen.
Concubine Shen threw herself into the man's arms like a shy girl: "Why did you come just now?"
The man stroked her hair and said gently, "The situation has been serious recently. I'm worried that you and your two children might be targeted and harmed. You must be more cautious in your actions."
Concubine Shen scolded, "You have also seen that your daughter was persecuted to this extent by that bitch Song Yunxi. You must avenge her!"
"You three are my most precious treasures. How could I let Shan'er be hurt like this? Don't worry, when everything is settled, I will make Song Yunxi, that ungrateful girl, pay the price!"
Concubine Shen then kissed his cheek with satisfaction: "Shan'er's only wish now is to marry Yu Ziche, you must help her achieve it no matter what."
If she had not been looking forward to marrying Yu Ziche, she would have committed suicide when that incident happened, and the mother and daughter would have been separated forever.
Therefore, she was determined to fulfill her daughter's wish, which was supporting her to live, at all costs.
"Isn't this easy?"
The man took out a medicine bottle and handed it to her: "With this medicine, even if Yu Ziche is chaste, he will bow down to my daughter and become her slave."
Concubine Shen was naturally very happy, but then she was in trouble again: "Yu Ziche is a very powerful martial artist and cannot be approached. Moreover, I heard that there are secret guards from Shengyun Mountain. It is harder to get close to him than to ascend to heaven."
"How difficult is that? The Queen Mother's own son is returning to the capital. According to custom, the Queen Mother will personally host a welcome banquet for Prince Yu. That will be the opportunity."
The man played with Concubine Shen's hair and said, "This drug insect is no different from a poisonous insect. We just need to let it smell Yu Ziche's scent first, and he will never be able to escape from Shan'er's grasp in this life!"
Concubine Shen snuggled in the man's arms: "As expected, you love our Shan'er the most!"
"I love the children you gave birth to me the most, no matter if it's Shan'er or Xuanrong."
Then he tore open Concubine Shen's clothes: "But you are the one I love the most! I will love you well tonight..."
Soon, Concubine Shen's happy but suppressed voice could be faintly heard in the main hall of Linhua Palace.
At this time, the Queen's Luanfeng Palace was filled with worry. The Queen was so anxious that she cried, "Who would have thought that Beichu would make such a request? They also said that the Second Prince of Beichu fell in love with You Ran at first sight."
She has been in the harem for many years, how could she not know that this was a conspiracy against Ye Youran?
Over the past year, Ye Youran has been by her side. The Queen truly treats her as her own daughter and naturally does not want to see her marry to Northern Chu.
To put it nicely, it's a marriage, but in fact it's a marriage of peace.
How many princesses who were married off since ancient times had a good ending? Not to mention the royal family of Northern Chu who didn't treat people as human beings.
Emperor Qinglong's face also looked unhappy. Whenever he thought of the strong coercion of those ministers in the court, he had the urge to take their heads.
Don't think he doesn't know. Those ministers who went to Northern Chu under the pretext of marrying the Ninth Princess to maintain peace and friendship between the two countries were all members of the Sixth Prince's party. They followed the lead of the Shen father and son in the court.
"Humph, if there wasn't someone colluding from the inside and outside, why would Bei Chu have proposed a marriage after such a long time?"
This startled the Queen, and she asked solemnly, "Your Majesty, do you mean that there are officials in the court who are secretly communicating with Northern Chu?"
Such a careless mistake could become irrefutable evidence of treason. Who would be so bold as to do this?
Now Emperor Qinglong did not hide the truth from the Queen: "Who else could it be besides the Shen family?"
"Why does the Shen family target You Ran so much?"
Ye Youran has never had much of a presence in the palace. Although her situation has improved a lot in the past year and she is valued by Emperor Qinglong, she spends most of her time in the Luanfeng Palace practicing martial arts and learning military tactics, and rarely goes out in public.
Why did the Shen family target her?
This was something the queen couldn't understand.
"Humph!"
Emperor Qinglong snorted coldly: "How is this directed at You Ran? It's clearly directed at Xi girl!"
He wanted Song Yunxi to marry, but she couldn't do anything because of her identity and background, so he shifted his target to Ye Youran.
Song Yunxi and Ye Youran are as close as sisters. If anything happens to Ye Youran, given Song Yunxi's personality, she will do everything she can to avenge her and seek justice. Then she can take the opportunity to make a big fuss.
The eldest lady of Shengyun Mountain killed innocent people indiscriminately and provoked wars. Even if Shengyun Mountain and Song Wentian could protect her, the spit of people all over the world would drown her.
"Gossip can melt gold!"
After hearing what Emperor Qinglong said, the Queen felt cold all over.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Emperor Qinglong suddenly laughed, leaving the Queen confused.
Emperor Qinglong said with relief: "With the evil spirit of the Fourth Brother and Xi girl, do you think they will let Shen succeed?"
Maybe they will take the opportunity to make them lose more than they gain.
When he realized this, Emperor Qinglong secretly regretted that he had worried for nothing that day.
Regarding the marriage between Ye Youran and Bei Chu, Emperor Qinglong only said in the court that the princess was still young and had not yet reached the age of marriage, and he used a perfunctory attitude to deal with it, saying that the matter would be discussed after the Spring Festival.
Privately, Song Yunxi and Ye Xuanqi revealed everything to Ye Youran, assuring her that it was absolutely impossible for her to marry into Northern Chu. Ye Youran calmed down and continued to practice martial arts diligently every day.
However, the fact that Prince Huai Ye Xuanyu was injured could no longer be hidden. When Concubine Shen learned that her son was beaten half to death by her beloved nephew since childhood, she fainted due to the rush of blood.
When she woke up, Jiang Yanting and Ye Xuanyu were both there.
She had always known that the two cousins had not been close since childhood. Her son had always been close to Jiang Yan'an, and his attitude towards Jiang Yanting was also quite bad. The relationship between the two could be said to be like fire and water.
But even so, the two of them had never fought as hard as they did this time.
No, it should be said that it was Jiang Yanting's one-sided crushing.
Jiang Fei felt dizzy again as she looked at the two of them. She rubbed her temples tiredly and said, "Tell me, what's going on with you two?"
Jiang Yanting rushed to tell the whole story.
Princess Jiang felt a worse headache and felt more dizzy.
She looked at her son helplessly: "I have told you so many times that Song Muxue is not a good match, why don't you listen?"
"It's none of Mu Xue's business!"
Concubine Jiang was so angry that she poked his head with her hand: "I think you are bewitched and you don't even know you are being used!"
"If one day she says that I am an obstacle to her, will you not even acknowledge me as your mother and listen to her and get rid of me as well?"
Ye Xuanyu looked dissatisfied: "Mu Xue is kind-hearted by nature, not the vicious person that my mother said!"
Jiang Yanting laughed angrily: "Your Highness Prince Huai means that we are all vicious people?"
