"What are you talking about?" The old mama was startled and raised her hand to touch Cui Jiaoniang's forehead, "How could His Highness be a woman?"
She has been with the Queen since the prince was born. For nineteen years, who would believe the prince if he said he was a woman?
"You don't believe me?" Cui Jiaoniang slapped the old woman on the face, "Do I not know about the child I gave birth to? How dare you, a servant, question me?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! I will go find your Majesty right now."
Regardless of whether the queen is crazy or not, she just needs to do what her master says.
Fengchun touched the wound on his cheek that was scratched by the Queen's nails and was about to leave when the door of Fengyi Palace was kicked open from the outside.
The person who came in was Li Fu, the emperor's personal father-in-law.
Cui Jiaoniang's eyes lit up when she saw Li Fu, and she stumbled towards Li Fu regardless of her manners and knelt down.
"Eunuch Li, besides the midwife, you were the first one to hold the Crown Prince. You must know that the Crown Prince is a baby girl. Song Yuan has been the Crown Prince for so many years, and it's time for him to step aside!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The old eunuch waved the whisk, and the whisk passed over the queen's delicate makeup.
"How could His Highness the Crown Prince be born as a girl? This thing can eat and speak arbitrarily but not arbitrarily. The slave family clearly gave His Majesty a baby boy in his arms."
"You!" Cui Jiaoniang's eyes widened and she slumped down in despair, "You belong to the prince! Don't forget that you also received 10,000 taels of silver notes from me back then, and I still have the certificate to issue!"
"It seems that the empress was frightened by what happened to the Cui family today, and she started talking nonsense."
Li Fu bent down, smiled, pointed at the orchid flower between Cui Jiaoniang's eyebrows.
"Little stool, give the medicine to the queen, so that the queen will not talk nonsense and make your majesty unhappy."
"The others were dragged down and had their tongues cut out. Please don't talk nonsense in the future. By then, it won't be just their tongues."
"Yes, godfather."
"How dare you!" Cui Jiaoniang glared, looking at the little stool holding the soup and stepping back in fear, "I am the queen, how dare you! This is simply lawless!"
"Don't worry, you won't be the queen soon."
"Little Stool, hurry up and give the Queen the medicine. The medicine will get cold after a while and the medicine will no longer be effective."
"yes."
"Li Fu, you are crossing the river and burning the bridge! You must not - uh uh!"
"The empress is joking, this man will be punished for his own sake." Li Fu put away the smile on his face and said sadly, "You obviously have a good prince, but you only think about the fifth prince. You can't tell the difference between a pearl and a fish eye. Qing, the Za family is different from the empress."
"But that's right, I don't have the face to stick to the prince."
The mute medicine prescribed by Liu Xiansheng was naturally very effective. After a bowl of it, the Queen couldn't even hum a single word.
Just as Little Stool finished pouring the medicine into the Queen, the closed door of the palace was pushed open once.
Cui Jiaojiao covered the blood that spilled from her mouth, her eyes flashed with hope, she opened her mouth and shouted silently. When she saw Song Yuan among the people who walked in the door, her joy turned into anger, she got up and rushed forward.
Bitch! Evil girl! If I had known that I should have killed you in one fell swoop, how could I have allowed you to live in this world?
Bitch! Bitch, bitch!
"Queen, what are you doing?"
Gu Zixiu stopped the queen who looked like a madman and winked at the people around her. The queen was immediately pushed to the ground.
After subduing the queen, Gu Zixiu read out the imperial edict calmly.
Song Yuan stood quietly behind Gu Zixiu and looked at Cui Jiaoniang, admiring the ferocious hatred on Cui Jiaoniang's face with a cold face.
Just like when Song Yuan was pinned down by the eunuch in a wooden basin full of poisonous insects, Cui Jiao Niang lay leisurely on the imperial concubine's chair, dressed in rich clothes.
Compared to her before, what does this mean?
There was always only resentment, greed, and jealousy on that face, and it became boring after seeing it too much.
After standing for a moment, Song Yuan walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Returning to the East Palace, I heard noises far away.
Song Yuan held his forehead and quickened his pace. When he walked in, he was as excited as expected.
"What are you talking about?" Song Yuan frowned and looked at Shen Mochi and the guards who were chasing me in the front yard.
This guy Shen Mochi has been staying in her East Palace for several days, and she can't get rid of him no matter how hard he tries.
"Your Highness, Mr. Shen stole the peach blossom wine you buried under the tree." The guard stopped chasing Shen Mochi and held his hand towards Song Yuan, his tone full of indignation.
If it hadn't been for His Highness the Crown Prince, they would have killed this guy with a sword. Who would steal things from their East Palace?
"I didn't steal it, I dug it out of my subordinates uprightly!" The young man tightly protected the wine jar in his arms and retorted with his face covered in dirt.
"If you steal it, just steal it." Song Yuan waved away the guards and walked to the study. She was not interested in Shen Mochi's petty fights, and she had no time to kowtow to him.
After entering the study and closing the door to block out Shen Mochi's curious sight outside, Song Yuan walked towards the soft couch.
Shi Qi heard the sound and quickly stood up to salute, but was held down by Song Yuan before he could sit up.
"It's not suitable to move if you're injured."
"Your Highness." The man's red ears were covered by his disheveled black hair, "Your Highness saved me? Your Highness..."
"Now that you're awake, take good care of your body. It won't be peaceful during this period. I still need people to do things for me."
"Yes, I understand."
"Just understand. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about. Don't say things you shouldn't say."
"Yes, Your Highness." Seventeen lowered his eyes, "Actually, Your Highness doesn't need to bother with your subordinates. Their lives are not valuable." There are many people who can die for His Highness.
"Get some rest." Song Yuan sighed softly and patted Shi Qi on the shoulder, "You just need to be a good swordsman."
"Okay, Your Highness." It must be because of what happened to my eldest brother back then.
The prince was the youngest among several people in the death camp, so he would naturally be taken care of a little more by them. In the beginning, it was his eldest brother Ying Yi who loved the prince the most.
The eldest brother died in Qiu Wei. He lured away the assassins for the prince and was shot into a sieve with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
Later, His Highness the Crown Prince found out that the Second Prince was the mastermind behind the plot. In revenge for Ying Yi, a fire burned in the Second Prince's Mansion for a day and a night, and all the people related to the Second Prince were beheaded.
Seventeen took a deep breath.
His Highness is His Highness, not Xiao Shiba from the death camp. He should not have inappropriate thoughts.
He is not qualified to think about the prince.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Shi Qi will return to his position within three days."
"Okay." Song Yuan nodded with satisfaction as he saw Shi Qi's eyes returning to their previous indifference.
What she wants is a handy weapon. If Qi Qi has evil thoughts because of her life-saving grace, she will doubt whether her decision to save Qi Qi is the right one.
Leave the study.
Shen Mochi, who secretly drank peach blossom wine in the courtyard, was already drunk, lying on the ground with a big character and giggling.
Song Yuan stood at the door with his hands behind his hands: "Fifteen."
"Your Highness, I'm here." A soft female voice sounded, and the slender woman stepped forward and knelt upright behind Song Yuan.
"Send him back to the Shen Mansion. If he comes to the East Palace again, I'll knock him out and throw him back. I don't want to see irrelevant people in the East Palace."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After receiving the order, Shiwu stood up and walked to Shen Mochi, grabbed the person's ankles, and disappeared with the person in his hand.
"Thirteen."
"The subordinate is here, Master." This time it was a tall and slender man who appeared.
"Go to Liu Xiansheng to get something for me. You can go with me to visit your mother in the evening."
"Yes, I obey."
