A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 323 Adding insult to injury
Wen Zhu subconsciously looked at Shen Zhixiu. This matter was too big, and he had to ask the Third Master's opinion again.
Shen Zhixiu nodded slightly, with no other expression on his face. It seemed that sending the prince over was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
After the matter was explained, Su Qingyu did not stay any longer and left Fengxian Hall with Feicui and Song Wanwan.
There was an abandoned palace not far from the Hall of Dedication. Feicui found a relatively clean side hall and helped Song Wanwan in.
Su Qingyu reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then sat down on the small couch and pinched Song Wanwan's philtrum.
He then asked Feicui to bring a wet towel and put it on her mouth and nose.
After a long while, Song Wanwan moved her fingers and slowly woke up.
Su Qingyu hurriedly asked Feicui to bring some warm water and helped her drink half a glass of water.
Song Wanwan drank three gulps of water and became much more conscious.
"Mrs. Shen San? What's wrong with me?"
She only remembered going to look at the copied scriptures, but she fainted as soon as she opened one volume.
Su Qingyu helped her sit down, "That Zimei should have taken refuge with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince wants to marry into the Song family, so he specially brought you there today."
"When I found you, you were knocked unconscious by the prince. If I had been a little later, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Song Wanwan clenched her fists and said, "Zhou Jianyuan...you deserve to die."
Because of the dispute between the late queen and the virtuous concubine, Song Wanwan had always disliked the prince. When she heard this, all the new and old hatreds came to her mind.
Thinking of the scene described by Su Qingyu, Song Wanwan felt frightened again.
"Today's events are all thanks to the Third Madam." Song Wanwan looked at Su Qingyu gratefully.
Su Qingyu knew how much risk she had taken. The clearer she knew, the more grateful she was. If it were someone else today, they would have wanted to turn around and leave immediately, fearing that the prince would bear a grudge against them.
Su Qingyu patted Song Wanwan's hand and said, "Miss, don't be polite to me. Our two families have always been close. Now that I have encountered this, I will naturally not stand idly by."
Song Wanwan was unconscious because she had been drugged. Now that she had woken up, she was fine.
She got off the couch, put on her shoes, and asked, "Where is the prince?"
Su Qingyu thought about it and told Song Wanwan everything she had just done to the prince.
Song Wanwan's expression brightened as she listened, and she put her hands on her waist and said, "Madam San did a great job. Let's go and see the excitement."
"I love kicking someone when they are down."
If she doesn't make the prince suffer today, she will not be named Song.
Su Qingyu naturally agreed. She also wanted to see what Li Chaoyun's reaction would be when he saw that the person in the Xiyue Saint's room was the prince. The expression on his face must be very interesting.
The two hit it off immediately and stood up and walked towards Fengxian Hall.
When they arrived at the entrance of Fengxian Hall, the emperor and his courtiers and ladies had just entered. The two of them followed at the back, not attracting attention.
Su Qingyu looked through the gap in the crowd and saw Li Chaoyun standing in front of the ladies. Although she could only see his profile, she could tell that his expression was not looking good.
Li Chaoyun was feeling very nervous at this moment. Half a minute ago, she already knew that the person in the Saint Maiden of Xiyue's house was not Shen Zhixiu, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She didn't know what happened in the meantime, and she didn't have time to figure it out. The most important thing at the moment was how to cover up the prince's affair.
If the emperor knew that the prince was making love with the Saint Girl of Xiyue in the side room at this moment, he would surely be furious.
But she wanted to save the prince, but there were also people who didn't want to let him go.
While everyone was walking inside, Song Wanwan quietly approached the side of Marquis of Loyalty Song Zan.
"Dad, I have something to say..."
Song Wanwan told Song Zan what had just happened in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
Song Zan looked visibly depressed. The Song family had only this one precious daughter, and how could he tolerate the prince scheming against her in such a dirty and filthy way?
Whoever plotted against his precious daughter will never get away with it.
When Emperor Xuande led everyone to the outside of the late empress's palace, Song Zan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is not appropriate for Lord Shen to recite the sacrificial text."
Emperor Xuande was stunned. "Then according to Marquis Zhongyi's opinion, who should read the sacrificial text?"
Song Zan was the late queen's brother, and when he said this, everyone thought he wanted to recite the eulogy himself. Even Emperor Xuande thought so.
Song Zan said seriously, "I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recite a eulogy for the late Queen."
"I feel that since all the court officials and ladies are here, it would be more solemn for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recite the sacrificial oration on such a solemn occasion."
"The late queen had no children, but she is also the legitimate mother of several princes. Your Highness the Crown Prince should set an example and show filial piety."
Song Zan's words were well-reasoned and there was nothing wrong with them. From the perspective of filial piety, the prince was indeed the most suitable person to recite the sacrificial text.
The virtuous concubine didn't know about the prince at this time, so her first reaction was to agree with Song Zan's proposal.
This is a good opportunity to establish good relations with the Song family, and also an opportunity to demonstrate the prince's status and ability in front of the emperor and court officials.
But looking around, Concubine Xian did not see any trace of the prince. She felt unhappy and complained about why the prince was running around at this time.
He quickly whispered to the nanny beside him, "Go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to come over quickly."
Li Chaoyun was so anxious that he could not help but say, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just felt a little uncomfortable and said he wanted to lie down in a side hall. It would be better to pay respect to the late Queen first, otherwise it would be bad if we missed the auspicious time."
Song Zan had a cold face and did not even look at Li Chaoyun. He said, "We are all family members. Even if we offer sacrifices a little later, the late queen will not blame us."
He sighed again and looked at Emperor Xuande sadly.
"Your Majesty, the biggest regret in my life is that the late queen died childless. I woke up in my dreams several times in the middle of the night, and she was alone and lonely down there."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that the late Queen is not worthy of him offering sacrifices, then I will pretend that I did not say anything about this matter."
Song Zan's words made Emperor Xuande's face change, and he said in a deep voice: "Come, go find the prince and ask him to come quickly."
Eunuch Hu bowed and responded, then ordered someone to look for the prince.
Shen Zhixiu stood aside the whole time without saying a word. He could tell that the Marquis of Loyalty was venting his anger on his daughter.
Others didn't know what was going on and thought that Marquis Zhongyi valued His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Rong Fei stood aside with a bad look on her face. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed that the Marquis of Loyalty was promoting the Crown Prince. Could it be that the Marquis of Loyalty and the Crown Prince were going to form an alliance? This was not good news.
Just as everyone was waiting for the prince to arrive with their own thoughts, Shunxi, the young eunuch who followed Hu Lu, suddenly ran over with a panicked look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's just...just..."
Shunxi stammered and couldn't say the rest of the words.
Emperor Xuande waited for a long while, and his patience was running out, so he shouted, "What's going on? If you have something to say, please speak up."
