The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

"In my opinion, for two thousand taels of silver and a box of rare treasures, fifty taels of interest is still too little. We should add another twenty taels."

Shen Yuning stepped forward and added in a gentle voice.

His lowered eyes fell on Lin Xue's face, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

She remembered what Lin You said in her heart that night, that the man Shen Wen found was Lin Xue's younger brother.

And Lin Xue once took her pulse, so maybe this matter is related to Lin Xue.

Meeting Shen Yuning's somewhat hostile gaze, Lin Xue immediately turned away, not daring to look her in the face.

Pan Gui had already told her about the failure of the Prince and Pan Gui's plan. Now the Princess looked at her like this, obviously she might have suspected her.

She had met the prince by chance at the beginning. Seeing that he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, she thought of taking this opportunity to test his background in order to win him over.

Unexpectedly, the prince was worried about infertility, so she took his pulse and then took the eldest princess's pulse. She found that the eldest princess was not seriously ill, but the prince was suffering from kidney deficiency.

Looking through Lin He's handwritten records, she found that men with kidney deficiency would be affected in their fertility, so she boldly told the prince this idea.

The prince naturally didn't believe it at first. Lin Xue told him directly that if he didn't believe it, he could try with other women. After several pricks of the needle, the prince really found a woman to experiment with.

He didn't believe the first one, and he didn't believe the second one. He still didn't believe the third one. It wasn't until he found another man and slept with two of the women and got them pregnant that he believed it.

After that, he began to panic. He was afraid that if people knew that he, a prince, could not pass on his family line, they would criticize him. So he asked her for advice.

Naturally, Lin Xue would not miss this opportunity to win him over, so she used the method he had used before to recommend Pan Gui to him.

The reason was that Pan Gui was her younger brother, and she could guarantee that Pan Gui would not talk nonsense. Moreover, Pan Gui had been working in the countryside for many years and had excellent physical fitness, so the child born would definitely be healthy, and Pan Gui's facial features were also regular.

Just like that, after several struggles, the prince brought Pan Gui back home, but what she didn't know was that the time chosen by the prince was the day when the eldest princess hosted a gourmet banquet.

If she knew, she would definitely try to stop it several times.

After all, there is this mysterious person named Lin You.

She finally realized that Lin You had changed, a completely different person.

It became very strange.

It was obvious that her and the prince's plans had been going smoothly and flawlessly in the past, but recently, her and the prince's plans were always cracked by Lin You.

It was as if the two people playing chess became the chess pieces on the chessboard, and the original chess piece, Lin You, became the person playing chess.

Therefore, every step taken will be disrupted by Lin You.

"Miss Lin Xue, everyone has left, please get up."

Concubine Chan looked at Lin Xue, who was still crawling on the ground like she had lost her soul, with disdain on her face, but she still bent down and helped her up.

Although Lin You did not suffer any setbacks at today's banquet, she gained the limelight instead, and the emperor treated her even better.

But, after this incident, she was certain that Lin Xue and Lin You really didn't get along, and that Lin Xue, Prince Yu, and Lin You, the three of them, seemed to have some kind of improper relationship.

This is very important for her to defeat Lin You.

Lin Xue stood up, bowed softly to Concubine Chan, and said with pursed lips: "I'm sorry to disappoint your Majesty. Lin Xue failed to bring that woman down."

"It's okay, you've done a good job, witch, how can you be so aggressive."

Concubine Chan smiled without a trace of displeasure.

Lin Xue suddenly raised her eyes to look at her, "Does your Majesty also think that something is wrong with the Imperial Concubine?"

"Shh." Concubine Chan made a gesture to keep quiet and took Lin Xue into the house.

Lin You and Shen Jing'an had not walked far when Shen Yuning came over and said that she wanted to talk to Shen Jing'an about something. The brother and sister went to the pavilion in the Imperial Garden to talk, while Lin You could only admire the flowers in the garden and wait for people.

Looking at the melancholy Princess in front of him, Shen Jingan spoke first, "How did you resolve the issue with the Prince?"

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, which made Shen Jing'an feel a little awkward.

He wanted to call her imperial sister, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Shen Yuning shook her head, with a bitter smile on her beautiful face, "It's nothing serious."

Hearing this, Shen Jingan felt relieved.

"It's just that, these few days, please ask the emperor to arrange an errand for the prince and let him leave the mansion for a few days. I need to go out to do something. If he stays in the mansion, it will be inconvenient."

The prince did not have high requirements for the official position. He had no military skill and was average in literature. The position he held was just a sinecure. That was why he had so much time to accompany Shen Yuning and those women outside.

In the past, Shen Yuning didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but now it seems that Shen Wen is actually relying on the fact that he is the son-in-law of the emperor, has her generous dowry, and has the Queen Mother as a big tree behind him, that he lives such a comfortable life and has no ambition.

In fact, the Prince's Mansion had long been an empty shell and had been relying on her dowry to survive.

The prince has now become obsessed with the issue of having children. He would never agree to a divorce, and he had threatened her before that if she continued to make trouble, he would divorce her on the grounds that she had no children, and by then, she would not be able to take any of her dowry with her.

As for the dowry, with the Queen Mother and the Imperial Brother around, it would not all fall into his hands no matter what.

However, what she cared about was her own reputation, her reputation as the eldest princess of the royal family.

From ancient times to the present, if a couple does not have children, it can only be that there is something wrong with the woman. There is no precedent of there being something wrong with the man. If the prince said so, everyone would definitely believe his lies.

This made her a royal laughing stock.

Therefore, she cannot let Shen Jing'an issue an imperial decree for divorce now. She has to find those women, expose the prince's shameless behavior and his infertility, and let everyone see his true face. Only then can she get away with it and not damage the royal family's reputation.

"it is good."

Shen Jing'an saw the sternness and tenacity in Shen Yuning's eyes, and knew that she must have made up her mind, so he felt relieved.

Hearing his response, Shen Yuning pulled back her thoughts, accidentally glimpsed the figure in the garden, and smiled slightly: "Noble Concubine You is very good, Your Majesty, you must cherish her."

Shen Jing'an was stunned for a moment by this sudden sentence, and his eyes turned to the woman who was lying under a flower tree eating fruit not far away.

"She is not the same person she used to be. Your Majesty, please do not blame her for the mistakes she made in the past and let her suffer undeserved disasters."

Shen Jingan's eyes moved slightly.

Yes, she is not that person. She has never done anything to let him down, and she has never thought of harming him. Instead, she has to complete the mission, replenish his health, and save him.

"If the Imperial Sister finds out that you let her sleep on the floor and don't give her food, don't blame her for using her trump card."

Shen Jingan's handsome expression suddenly darkened.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuning had already slipped away.

She looked as if she would be in danger of losing her life if she stayed any longer.
