Yuan Zi was clearly here to cause trouble, but when faced with Aunt Cui's questioning, she did not dare to tell the truth.

She hesitated for a moment before she lied, "...I, I heard there was a happy event here today, so I came in to take a look."

"I see."

Aunt Cui didn't know whether she believed it or not. She just nodded with a smile and said meaningfully, "It was I who misunderstood the princess."

"……Um?"

"Seeing the princess bring so many people here, I thought one of them had caused trouble and the princess came to call them to account."

Yuan Zi pulled the corners of his stiff mouth, his eyes complicated.

Aunt Cui seemed unaware and continued, "But come to think of it, I was just worrying too much. These kids are honest and not the kind of people who would cause trouble."

"Your Highness, you are always kind and gentle, so you would never do that."

"not to mention……"

Having said this, Aunt Cui suddenly paused.

She stared at Yuan Zi intently for a long while before she said the second half of the sentence slowly: "His Majesty sees that you are watching him closely now, so you won't make trouble for no reason to upset him, right?"

These words seem like a reminder, but also like a threat.

Yuan Zi's expression was stiff and she could hardly speak.

After a moment's silence, she turned and left without saying a word.

behind——

Aunt Cui bowed her head respectfully and said, "Farewell, Princess."

Wei Zhao watched this scene, and suddenly turned his head and stared at Shen Qiyin.

The latter met his gaze, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly nodded with a smirk on his face.

Wei Zhao followed immediately.

The maidservant beside Yuan Zi was about to scold him when she saw that it was the young master of Wu'an Marquis Mansion. She immediately changed her expression and asked politely, "Young Master Wei, is there something wrong?"

Wei Zhao shook his head.

The two maids couldn't help but look at each other: "Then what are you doing..." following them?

Wei Zhao raised his hand and pointed, and replied with two words in a concise manner: "Close the door."

Maid: "..."

Thinking that the other party was so eager to kick them out, although the two men did not dare to show their displeasure, the smiles in their eyes did fade a little.

Yuan Zi heard their conversation but ignored it.

Originally, she was planning to cause trouble for Shen Qiyin, but now that her plan had failed, there was no point in offending the people in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion.

But at this moment Yuan Zi had not yet realized that she had offended someone.

Watching Yuan Zi get on the carriage and leave, Wei Zhao refused the servants' help and closed the two doors of the mansion himself.

As the gap became smaller, the curve of his mouth became larger and larger.

expect……

The next day, news suddenly came from the palace that Princess Shouchang was ill!

When Shen Qiyin heard this, he was surprised after a moment's delay and said, "Ah, he was fine, how come he got sick?"

Xianglan was listening nearby and felt that her young lady's acting skills were extremely poor.

Chusi told all the news he knew: "It is said that he was hit by the wind. His whole body is itchy, his skin is red and swollen, and his whole face has changed."

Wei Zhao listened very carefully.

Then he dipped the pen and silently wrote down the symptoms.

The poison he took advantage of yesterday to secretly give Yuan Zi was a product he had recently researched. Although he had tested it on mice, this was the first time he had used it on humans.

The effect is good and can be mass-produced.

Wei Zhao and Shen Qiyin knew clearly what the consequences would be if they were discovered to have poisoned a princess.

But even so, she still agreed to Wei Zhao's action because she knew that Princess Yuan Zi could no longer stir up any trouble.

Because the big tree she was leaning against was already crumbling!
