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

The Queen Mother did not want to see Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, but in order to see them as soon as possible, she forbeared and said, "Let them in."

The palace maid left, and soon Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan came in.

Shen Wan hadn't seen the Queen Mother for a long time. She was really surprised to see her pale and haggard face.

The two men paid their respects to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother listened to the voice and turned her head to look in their direction. "It's amazing that you are so filial and come to see me."

The Queen Mother emphasized the word "filial piety" very clearly.

If he was truly filial, he would not have sent the Crown Prince, whom she valued, and everyone in Duke Mao's Mansion to jail even though he knew that she could not get angry.

However, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan heard it but pretended not to hear it.

They have known the Empress Dowager's partiality and protection of her people for a long time.

If the eldest prince can repay kindness with enmity on the first day, don't blame them for doing the fifteenth.

What's more, they have not used extraordinary means to take revenge, and have not retaliated, which is enough to give face to the Queen Mother.

They didn't really care about the Queen Mother, but as juniors, it would be unreasonable for them not to come.

Xie Jingyan said calmly, "Queen Dowager, take care of yourself."

He looked at Doctor Tao and said, "Take the Queen Mother's pulse."

Doctor Tao put down the medicine box, sat down and felt the empress dowager's pulse for a long time before letting up.

Before Xie Jingyan could ask, Nanny Zhao spoke first, "When will the Queen Mother be able to see?"

Doctor Tao looked at Xie Jingyan, and Xie Jingyan said, "Tell the truth."

Doctor Tao told the truth, "It's impossible to tell when the Queen Mother will be able to see. She is depressed and has hurt her internal organs. We can only use some medicine to relieve her depression. During this period, she needs to keep her mood happy. If she gets worried or angry, her condition will not only not get better, but will get worse."

Keep your mood happy...

Zhao Yuanzheng didn't even dare to say these six words.

Because once it was said, the pressure would be put on the emperor.

King Cheng disappeared and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

The eldest prince and Duke Mao were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice again.

How could the Queen Mother be in a good mood?

The Emperor cannot let bygones be bygones for the crimes committed by the eldest prince and Duke Mao just to make the Empress Dowager happy. To ignore the Empress Dowager would be unfilial.

Doctor Tao went to write a prescription and gave it to Zhao Yuanzheng, and then he had nothing to do.

Xie Jingyan and Shen Wanlai were just going through the motions, so they said, "Don't disturb the Queen Mother's rest. We will visit her another day."

After paying their respects, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan left.

However, when I came out of Shoukang Palace, I happened to meet Princess Huyang.

Princess Huyang's complexion was not good either. The Queen Mother was so ill that she had gone blind. As a daughter, it would be strange for Princess Huyang to be in a good mood.

However, she was not like the empress dowager. She did not have a good face towards Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan. There was even an indescribable feeling in her eyes, like... guilt?

Well, actually, yesterday Princess Huyang found out that Xie Jingyan had sent the eldest prince and Duke Mao to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The Queen Mother was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted. She couldn’t see and was very angry with Xie Jingyan. She scolded him in anger. Du Cheng’an happened to be in the mansion at the time and couldn’t help but said, “Mother, this is not Prince Ling’s fault…”

Princess Huyang said angrily, "The Queen Mother is so angry that she's fallen ill, and you're still on Prince Ling's side?!"

Du Chengan said, "My son is not on Prince Ling's side, it's just that mother doesn't know. This time, the eldest prince almost killed Prince Ling and Princess Ling..."

Princess Huyang said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

Du Cheng'an said, "My son would not lie to me. The smallpox in Prince Ling's mansion was caused by the eldest prince."

If Du Cheng'an hadn't said it, Princess Huyang couldn't believe that the eldest prince, whom she had watched grow up, could be so cruel and ruthless that he would come up with the sinister method of using smallpox to harm people.

The eldest prince was about to kill Prince Ling, but he also asked Prince Ling to consider the Queen Mother's health and not retaliate against the eldest prince. Princess Huyang couldn't say this.

Because she had wrongly blamed Xie Jingyan, Princess Huyang felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan didn't know about these things. They paid their respects to Princess Huyang. Princess Huyang didn't say a word and went to see the Queen Mother.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan entered the palace and left it the same way.

However, they did not go directly back to Prince Ling's Mansion, but went to Yan's Mansion.

When the Yan family returned to Beijing, there was a smallpox outbreak in Prince Ling's Mansion. The Yan family could not come in, and Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan could not go out. After finally lifting the siege, they went to the palace and the Yun family, but they have not seen each other until now.

However, Shen Wan did not expect that today was the day when Duke Du's Mansion would deliver the betrothal gift to the Yan family. The carriage slowed down when it was still one street away from the Yan Mansion.

The ceremony of accepting the bride's proposal was carried out by sixty-four bearers, and two of them were carried at a time. It was a grand procession, which showed how much Princess Huyang and her husband valued the Crown Prince's wife who was about to marry into their family.

However, the decision to send the betrothal gift today was made several days ago. If it happened in the past two days, Princess Huyang would definitely not be in the mood for it.

The carriage could not pass if two items were carried at the same time. However, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan were not in a hurry. They waited until the betrothal gifts were carried into the Yan Mansion before the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Yan Mansion.

Xie Jingyan helped Shen Wan get off the carriage, and the two of them walked up the steps. Young Master Yan Zheng came to greet them, followed by two teenagers about fourteen or fifteen years old. When they saw Xie Jingyan, they shouted from a distance, "Cousin..."

Shen Wan thought they were unfamiliar. She probably had never seen them before. Even if she had, it was only once or twice at most. She really couldn't recognize who was who.

In fact, Xie Jingyan did not recognize them at first sight. When the incident happened in Yan Mansion, they were only seven or eight years old. Their appearance had changed a lot due to their young age, and only a little bit of their childhood eyebrows could be vaguely seen.

The two were very happy to see Xie Jingyan, and they looked at him with admiration. Yan Zheng said, "Don't just call him cousin, but also cousin's wife."

The two of them hurriedly bowed to Shen Wan again, "Hello, cousin."

Shen Wan smiled back.

Yan Zheng invited them into the mansion, and Shen Wan asked, "Where is Qing'er?"

Yan Zheng said, "She is shy and embarrassed to come out. She is in her room now."

"I'll go see her," Shen Wan said.

The Yan family's steward arranged a maid to lead Shen Wan.

After entering the inner courtyard, Shen Wan walked towards the small courtyard where Yan Qing'er lived. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard Yan Qing'er's shy and angry voice, "Big sister, if you tease me again, I won't pay attention to you."

Shen Wan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two pretty figures chasing each other.

One of them was Yan Qing'er, and the other was Yan Yue, the eldest daughter of the Yan family. She was beautiful and only half a year older than Yan Qing'er.

While the two were playing, they saw Shen Wan and quickly stopped, trying to act like dignified ladies from wealthy families. However, their red cheeks still betrayed them.

Yan Yue looked at the maid who brought Shen Wan into the courtyard, and asked with her eyes who was coming. She had never seen Shen Wan since she returned to Beijing. But before the maid could reply, Yan Qing'er said, "It's my cousin's wife..."

Yan Yue didn't expect that the person in front of her was the cousin-in-law she wanted to meet, Princess Ling.

She and Yan Qing'er hurried forward and saluted Shen Wan, "Greetings, cousin."
