As soon as the incident happened, Queen Wang wanted to kill Wei Jin'er directly.
Although Wei Shicheng was reluctant to let go of Wei Jin'er, in comparison, Concubine Shu was more important to the Wei family, and her conduct was more stable and calculating.
It is a certainty that Wei Jin'er will be abandoned.
It was Concubine Shu who licked her face and begged the queen to spare Wei Jin'er's life.
It happened that Li Qingyi brought up the "incomplete" idea, and the queen reluctantly agreed.
"That day Jin'er fell into the water and was rescued by the fourth prince. I also had murderous intentions. But after all, she is my niece who I loved and loved since childhood. After much thought, I still felt too soft to do it, so I thought, A scar is better than losing your life, who knows..."
Who knew, but it gave the fourth prince an opportunity to save Wei Jin'er.
Concubine Shu sighed softly: "You can't have your cake and eat it too, but I think about it day and night. I feel that if she marries the fourth prince, she may not be unable to be used by the Wei family. As long as her heart is towards the prince, she will be able to meet him in the future." Her glory and wealth?"
Shixiang hesitated and said: "That's what I said, but if she becomes the prince's concubine, she won't be able to remarry if the fourth prince has anything in the future. She has to remain chaste for the rest of her life, and the Queen and the Queen may not be willing to let her stay. Of the fourth prince’s bloodline…”
Even if she is rich and powerful, would Wei Jin'er really be willing to spend the rest of her life alone?
Concubine Shu smiled bitterly, "Isn't this the same for me?"
Shixiang looked at her distressedly, "I made a mistake."
"It doesn't matter. I've thought everything through from the moment I walked through the palace gate."
The summer flowers in the palace are gorgeous and fragrant.
Wei Jin'er, dressed in purple, walked from far to near to the front of the palace, which was very suitable for this scene.
She thought, maybe she was really suitable to compete for the splendor and prosperity of the palace?
Looking at Concubine Shu who was absentmindedly playing with the strings of the piano, Wei Jin'er bowed down without any heaviness in her voice.
"Jin'er has met her aunt."
"sit down."
Concubine Shu responded casually and ordered the palace attendants around her: "You all go down and let me and Jin'er talk freely."
"Yes, concubine."
The palace people followed the instructions and exited the pavilion, and Zhuixue and Chen Shuang also retreated consciously.
Wei Jin'er followed the instructions and sat opposite Concubine Shu, and said, "My aunt looks bad, is it because she is worried about Jin'er?"
Concubine Shu hadn't slept well for several days, and her eyes were quite green. She looked up at her after hearing this: "Jin'er, I know that you feel wronged and hurt..."
She looked at the hem of Wei Jin'er's skirt and her embroidered shoes were tucked in. She couldn't see the extent of her injury.
But she knew that Wei Jin'er had always taken good care of her body.
There were almost no flaws all over his body.
However, compared to life, a little scar is nothing?
Besides, they wouldn't let her carry the scars on her body for the rest of her life and just have to cure them later.
But Wei Jin'er felt that she had been greatly wronged and felt that the Wei family was ashamed of her and abandoned her.
However, in fact, if the Wei family really abandoned her, how could she still be here to ridicule her?
"Auntie, don't worry. With the care of Your Highness, Jin'er's skin will soon return to the same state as before."
She raised her feet slightly and exposed her embroidered shoes from the hem of her skirt.
Although the injuries on her feet were not visible, the shining pearls on her embroidered shoes could be seen.
It was as if he was declaring his status in front of Concubine Shu.
As if to say, look, you tried to hurt me, but you didn't succeed, so I'm still fine.
Moreover, I am the apple of my father's eye, and you are just my sister, so how can it be important to have a daughter.
Concubine Shu's eyes were a little darker.
This kind of character will be a disaster sooner or later. If the fourth prince holds it in his hands, it will definitely cause trouble for the Wei family.
Her previous idea was probably impossible.
But if she can't, the queen will not spare her life.
Although the emperor loves and protects the queen, there are many choices in the harem.
If the queen is incompetent, even with the emperor's care, she will not be as prosperous as she is now.
It can be seen that Queen Wang is a powerful character in her own right, and it is absolutely impossible for her to be as indecisive as she is.
While Concubine Shu was deep in thought, Wei Jin'er walked to the tea table aside and personally changed the tea for Concubine Shu.
The dense mist swirled around her fingertips, and the white jade ring became hazy, as if it was about to melt into her fingertips.
"Aunt, drink tea."
Wei Jin'er placed the tea cup in front of Concubine Shu and chatted about recent events in the house.
"Ever since the imperial edict granting marriage came down, I haven't left the house. In addition to recuperating from my injuries, I haven't been with the sisters in the house for a long time. The second room has been very chaotic recently for some reason, which often made my grandmother unhappy... If I leave the house in the future , so I can’t always comfort my grandmother.”
Concubine Shu felt disgusted when she saw her laughing and talking and talking about her marriage.
"I thought you wanted to marry into the Wang family before, but now it seems that's not the case."
Wei Jin'er's face stiffened when she heard this.
She knew that her aunt had made an agreement with the queen, and the queen would personally come forward to help her and the eldest son of the Wang family in the near future.
She was also optimistic about Wang Lin's talent.
If she hadn't been so eager to plot against Li Qingyi, there was a high probability that this marriage would have been settled.
All the pressures she faces now are her own fault.
But Wei Jin'er was deeply resentful and unforgiving, saying, "My aunt is worried about Jin'er a lot, and Jin'er knows it, but now that Jin'er has made a marriage arrangement with the fourth prince, it's not good to mention anyone else. Also. Please be considerate of Jin'er's difficulties, aunt, and don't mention this matter again in the future."
Concubine Shu was immediately angry. She sat up straight and spoke in a cold tone.
"I never noticed before that you have such a surly and selfish temperament and don't know what is good or bad!"
Wei Jin'er became more and more dissatisfied and said, "My aunt is the daughter of the Wei family, and Jin'er is also the daughter of the Wei family. Why should I save my aunt and abandon Jin'er? My aunt only wants to protect herself. Isn't it selfish?"
"you!"
Concubine Shu stood up angrily and pointed at Wei Jin'er, but she suddenly felt dizzy and fell back down.
Wei Jin'er did not reach out to help her, but said calmly: "Why should my aunt be so excited? If she gets sick, Jin'er can't bear it."
Concubine Shu sat there and calmed down for a long time, but she still felt that her blood was surging, and there was a faint wisp of fishy sweetness in her throat.
"What did you say? How dare you talk to me like that!"
Wei Jin'er looked at her uncomfortable look, unmoved, and said calmly: "Aunt, you and I are already standing on both sides of the edge. No matter who makes the slightest move between you and me, the other person will die without a burial. Of course, Jin'er doesn't want that person to be herself..."
Concubine Shu's eyes widened suddenly, "What do you mean by this?"
Wei Jin'er sighed softly, raised her hand to touch the clear jade ring, and said: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, is right. Sooner or later, you will have murderous intentions for me. I guess you already have an idea in mind?"
Concubine Shu followed her movements and looked at the ring.
I saw that those well-carved hollows turned out to be not all hollow patterns, but a few were vaguely filled with something.
It's a thin layer that seems to be punctured by just the slightest touch.
Concubine Shu suddenly understood that there must be some mystery hidden in this ring.
"What...what exactly did you do?"
Wei Jin'er smiled and said, "Auntie, there is no need to panic. His Highness the Fourth Highness said that in less than a cup of tea, the person who takes the medicine will experience exhaustion of the internal organs, and it cannot be said how painful it is."
"Fourth Prince?"
Concubine Shu's lips trembled and she looked at Wei Jin'er in disbelief. Looking at her guilt-free face, she felt filled with regret.
"Did he give you this method to kill me?"
"It can't be said to be murder, right? Sooner or later, my aunt will take action against me? I'm just repaying him in the same way..."
Concubine Shu felt unwilling and wanted to say something, but she felt that she was not strong enough.
In the distance, the figure picking up incense can be vaguely seen.
Concubine Shu wanted to ask for help, but within a short period of time, she could not even speak.
Wei Jin'er turned her head and glanced at Shi Xiang, and said: "This slave is so bold. He actually put something in my aunt's tea cup and wanted to poison her to death! Jin'er will report the truth to the emperor and let her die to apologize!"
Concubine Shu felt sad in her heart after listening to Wei Jin'er's words...
Wei Jin'er looked at her, and in a blink of an eye she had a sad look on her face. She rushed towards her and exclaimed: "Aunt! What's wrong with you? Don't scare Jin'er!"
The surrounding palace people suddenly heard this exclamation and looked over in confusion. Seeing that something seemed wrong, they quickly gathered here.
Concubine Shu looked at her fake appearance, but was helpless. She was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood, which was stained on the pearl on the toe of Wei Jin'er's shoe.
Wei Jin'er subconsciously shrank, but this action stimulated Concubine Shu who was on the verge of death.
She used her last strength to rush over and grab Wei Jin'er's ankle, squeezing it hard!
"ah!"
Wei Jin'er's newly scabbed blisters were pinched until they bled and burst, staining Wei Jin'er's shoes and socks red. Her screams shocked everyone, and everyone stopped in their tracks.
Looking again, Concubine Shu was already lying on the ground, motionless...
