He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Shen Wan really wanted to know the reason why the Queen Mother could make such great tolerance and sacrifice, and her curious heart felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her head.

Chen Feng reported everything he knew to Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan, then jumped out of the window and left.

Chen Feng walked forward, and Dong'er came in and said, "Prince and concubine, the eldest prince has returned to his own palace."

The eldest prince should have returned to his own palace long ago, but choosing this time seems a bit self-destructive.

But when he thought about the fact that the eldest prince went to the city gate to watch the execution, and the knife didn't hit Xie Jingyin but hit the eldest prince's heart instead, he felt it was understandable.

The Queen Mother's move was likely to hurt the Crown Prince more than the one Xie Jingyin had stabbed him with.

The Queen Mother forced the Emperor to execute Xie Jingyin even at the cost of a hunger strike. This move moved the First Prince so much, but it chilled his heart just as much when she offered the golden medal of immunity from death to save Xie Jingyin.

The ones who hurt us the most are never our enemies, but our own people.

The eldest prince must have felt that the queen mother didn't care about his feelings anymore, so whether he was dead or alive, the queen mother probably wouldn't care much.

The eldest prince returned to his own palace, and there was no need for Imperial Physician Xu to stay in Prince Ling's palace. He sent the medicine that the eldest prince wanted to take to Prince Qin's palace.

That night, Shen Wan did not sleep well because she was troubled by too many things that she could not figure out.

Tossing and turning, I didn't even close my eyes until almost midnight.

If you go to bed late, you will get up late.

The next day when Shen Wan woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. When Shen Wan woke up, Yin Shuang was gently stepping forward to see if she was awake. Seeing Shen Wan open her eyes, Yin Shuang said, "The princess is finally awake."

Shen Wan looked out the window. Even if the window was closed, the sunlight was bright and dazzling.

Shen Wan sat up and found that Yin Shuang seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shen Wan said, "If anything happens, just report it."

Yinshuang looked at her and reported, "This morning, Dr. Zijin Guanglu... the demoted left prime minister led the Jin royal party to ask the emperor to appoint the eldest prince as the heir apparent."

Shen Wan frowned, "Has the Emperor agreed?"

Yin Shuang shook her head quickly, "No, the emperor said that the matter of appointing a crown prince will be discussed after the eldest prince recovers from his injury."

Didn't agree, but didn't deny it either.

Yin Shuang said, "Isn't the Queen Mother using the gold medal to save King Jin just to make Zuo Xiang and others support the eldest prince?"

"It's definitely not that simple," Shen Wan said firmly.

On the surface, it looked like the Queen Mother was negotiating terms with Queen Song by offering the golden medal of immunity from death. However, once Prince Jin died, Queen Song and the demoted Left Prime Minister could no longer do anything. The Queen Mother did not pursue their involvement, so Queen Song and the Left Prime Minister should have kept a low profile and would not have dared to negotiate terms with the Queen Mother on the issue of establishing a crown prince.

The left prime minister's actions seemed more like an attempt to quell and cover up the Queen Mother's real purpose of using the golden medal of immunity from death to save Prince Jin. Now that the Queen Mother's abnormal behavior had a reasonable explanation, people would no longer speculate.

The more you try to cover it up, the more it proves that the problem is bigger.

However, the people from the Jin royal party are not weak in the court. No matter what the reason is, now they all support the eldest prince. The emperor will not really appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, right?

Although they saved the eldest prince's life, no one could sit in that position as securely as they did.

Yin Shuang and Hai Tang helped Shen Wan get up, and then said, "The prince went to the military camp early in the morning and may not be back until noon."

Xie Jingyan didn't go to the military camp very often, but whenever someone came to see him, it must be about something difficult.

Xie Jingyan was not at home, so Shen Wan had breakfast alone. After breakfast, she strolled around the yard twice. The viewing tower was burned down, and because it was in the inner courtyard, it was inconvenient for servants to enter and exit, so the palace sent a dozen eunuchs to rebuild it. The garden was very messy at the moment, so Shen Wan did not go there. All the flowers that could be moved in the garden were sent to Mo Yuxuan.

Shen Wan sat on the swing, using a round fan to block the sunlight, watching the clouds roll by in the sky.

A maid came in from outside the courtyard and reported, "Princess, Li Yuchu's family has been brought to the capital. Li Yuchu wants to bring his wife and children to pay their respects to you."

It was Shen Wan who agreed to let Li Yuchu bring his wife and children to Beijing. They wanted to come and pay their respects to her, and Shen Wan would not refuse.

Two quarters of an hour later, Manager Zhou arrived with Li Yuchu, his wife and a pair of sons.

Li Yuchu's eldest son is over 18 years old, and his features look like Mrs. Li's. The second son is only eight years old, and his appearance is more like that of Li Yuchu.

Li Yuchu bowed to Shen Wan and said, "Thank you, Princess, for making it possible for our family to be reunited in Kyoto."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Chef Li, your words are too polite."

She looked at Manager Zhou and asked, "Is everything ready in the courtyard?"

Manager Zhou said, "Everything is ready."

Shen Wan nodded, and then said to Li Yuchu and Mrs. Li, "If there is anything missing, just tell Manager Zhou, you're welcome."

Mrs. Li was a little cautious. Although Li Yuchu had told her when she came that the princess had a good temper and there was nothing to be afraid of, but when she suddenly met someone with such a noble status, she was inevitably cautious.

Madam Li nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Princess."

Shen Wan glanced at Haitang, who entered the room and took out a jewelry box. Shen Wan said, "It's our first time meeting, so I prepared some small gifts for Mrs. Li."

Mrs. Li was terrified. "How can this be done?"

Haitang handed the brocade box to her. Madam Li glanced at Li Yuchu, who nodded. Madam Li then reached out to take it.

It would be lunch in less than half an hour. Li Yuchu took the time to come here. He had to go back to cook. In addition, his wife and children were cautious, so he didn't stay much longer. He came to say hello to Shen Wan and took him with him. They went to settle in the small courtyard behind the palace.

Li Yuchu's house is next to Doctor Tao's. The house is slightly smaller than Doctor Tao's, but the price is 10% more expensive. The owner was unwilling to sell it, so he bought it with a lot of money.

After leaving Prince Ling's Mansion, Madam Li could not help but open the brocade box. She saw a gold bracelet, a pair of gold hairpins, a necklace and earrings inside the box. They were so exquisite that one could not take their eyes off them.

Madam Li knew that the gift from Princess Ling must be good, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive. She looked at Li Yuchu and said, "This is too expensive."

Li Yuchu didn't expect Shen Wan to give so much. He said, "The princess is always kind to others and generous. Since she gave it to you, you can just accept it with peace of mind."

Mrs. Li looked at the jewelry and couldn't put it down. She looked at Li Yuchu with a bit of resentment in her eyes, "You and I have been married for so many years, and what you gave me is not as much as the meeting gift that Princess Ling gave me."

Li Yuchu, "..."

……

Sure enough, Xie Jingyan came back during lunch.

Seeing him, Shen Wan asked, "Have you entered the palace?"

Xie Jingyan shook his head, "No, but you and I have to go to the palace in the next two days."

Shen Wan was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing in the palace?"

Xie Jingyan said, "The Queen Mother fell ill again."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Why did the Queen Mother fall ill again?

The Queen Mother fell ill a few days ago. Because the eldest prince was recuperating in Prince Ling's Mansion, Xie Jingyan did not take Shen Yuan into the palace to visit the Queen Mother. Later, the Emperor complied with the Queen Mother's wishes and ordered the execution of Xie Jingyin. The Queen Mother recovered quickly. Yesterday, the Queen Mother protected Xie Jingyin. It's really strange that he died, but he fell ill instead.

The maid brought the food into the room, and Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan sat down to eat lunch.

The two of them chatted and laughed while eating.

The meal lasted for half an hour. Just as he put down his ivory chopsticks, Dong'er came in quickly and said, "My Lord and Princess, I don't know who poisoned the Queen's food. Concubine Qi and Concubine Liu accompanied the Queen for lunch and died of poisoning..."

Shen Wan was startled when he heard this and blurted out, "What about the queen?"

Dong'er shook her head, "The Queen is fine..."
