Shen Xingwan looked down at the hand he was holding and said, "Let go, I don't have time to act with you."
Su Jingyi was still smiling and said in a clear voice, "Sister, you are so kind. Now that we are all in Shengjing, we have to take care of each other in the future."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to hug Shen Xingwan.
The two people have outstanding appearances and completely different temperaments, which have long attracted the attention of people around them.
"Whose girl is this? She looks like a sister."
"Tsk, tsk, there was a big fuss back then, about the mistake of marrying the daughter of the Hou family."
…
Those past events were quickly revealed, sparking discussion among everyone.
Finally, looking at the sweet and friendly Su Jingyi, the gossips sighed, "This Miss Su is really kind. She was killed and became a farm girl for seven years, and now she can ignore the past grudges."
"The other one is not bad either. She is engaged to Prince Zhennan."
"Life is so good. If I hadn't been given the wrong birth, would a peasant girl have a chance to meet the prince?"
Shen Xingwan was speechless. It turned out that he was just better at showing off his expression. Deep down, he still wanted to kill her.
Shen Xingwan smiled slightly, "I'm sorry sister, although I want to be a good sister with you for life, but I can't..."
Shen Xingwan let out a long sigh and put on an expression that said he was hesitant to speak.
It is human nature to love gossip, especially when people in the capital have nothing to do, from the royal family to the actors and courtesan... there is nothing they don't like to eat.
The people around him stopped walking and immediately opened their ears.
Shen Xingwan held Su Jingyi's hand and said, "When Mrs. Hou Mansion forced me to kneel down, she personally taught me because of our past love and told me to recognize my position..."
"I don't deserve and don't dare to be your sister. After all, if I kneel down once, my legs may be useless. Please be considerate, girl."
After Shen Xingwan finished speaking, he wiped the non-existent tears with his sleeves and stepped onto the carriage with a heartbroken step.
"Miss Su, please stay away from me, in case Mrs. Hou finds out..."
Leaving behind a sentence that was specious but invalid to people's imagination, the carriage quickly left.
Su Jingyi opened her mouth, but her words of explanation were choked in her throat.
His eyes darkened, and he quickly held Shen Yu's hand pitifully, "Brother, you will understand me, my mother didn't mean that..."
Shen Yu felt a little uncomfortable and said tiredly, "Sister, I'm tired and want to go back and rest quickly. Thank you for coming to pick me up today."
Got in the car too.
Su Jingyi had no choice but to go home. Today's gossip quickly became a hot topic in Beijing.
In the car, Shen Qingran looked at Shen Xingwan worriedly, "This Miss Su really leaves people speechless."
Shen Xingwan smiled and said, "She's always been like this, I'm used to it."
Shen Qingran thought for a while and told Shen Xingwan about Su Jingyi's situation in Beijing.
Now that Shen Xingwan has come to Beijing, the two of them will inevitably run into each other on various occasions in the future, and she is afraid that Shen Xingwan will suffer a loss.
Shen Xingwan accepted her kindness heartily.
Back at the house, Shen Mochen had a meal, quickly washed up and rested.
The whole mansion was extremely quiet.
Shen Xingwan was sitting by the window doing some things, Banxia opened the door and came in, "Sister Qingsi, please see me."
Shen Xingwan stood up and said, "Please come quickly."
How could Qingsi come at this time?
Qingsi is nominally the eldest maid of Fu Jingchao, but in fact her family has always been loyal to the Zhennan Palace.
Although Qingsi is a daughter, she has outstanding abilities, so she was sent to Fu Jingchao and became Fu Jingchao's right-hand assistant.
Qingsi walked slowly over and saluted Shen Xingwan, "I've seen the girl before."
Shen Xingwan helped her up with his own hands and still called her Sister Qingsi as he did when he was a child.
Qingsi looked at her and sighed, "The girl has grown up."
They had not seen each other for a long time since they had said goodbye to Jiangnan.
"What's the reason for Sister Qingsi's sudden visit?" Shen Xingwan asked.
Qingsi nodded with a heavy face, "I do have something, and I want to ask the girl for help."
After Qinghong served tea to the two of them, she closed the door and went to guard the door herself.
Qingsi then said, "Since the prince returned to the capital, the emperor has forcibly taken him into the palace to recuperate. He said that the best imperial doctors are waiting in the palace, which is more conducive to recuperation."
The emperor said so, but he didn't give him any room to refuse.
Moreover, the Queen Mother was in the palace, and she always loved Fu Jingchao the most. Fu Jingchao also left. Zhennan Palace was just when it needed to keep a low profile, and it was not worth making trouble for the emperor on such a matter.
"Did something happen now?" Shen Xingwan guessed.
Qingsi nodded, "Although there is no evidence and no obvious symptoms, the prince feels something is wrong with his body."
"I also looked for opportunities to have the imperial physician take a look at it, but unfortunately no imperial physician saw anything wrong."
I guess even if they saw it, no one would dare to say anything.
In the palace, the doctor outside could not get in, so the matter became unsolved.
"The news came last night that the prince fainted while taking a walk. The imperial doctor said that the prince was too seriously injured and was weak." Qingsi's face was full of anxiety.
This problem is indeed difficult to deal with. Although I saw him that day, Fu Jingchao said nothing from the beginning to the end. It must be that the father-in-law was watching too closely.
"What do you need me to do?" Shen Xingwan said calmly.
Since Qingsi came to find her, she should have a solution.
Qingsi said, "I heard the prince mentioned that there is a maid next to the girl who has good medical skills."
Shen Xingwan nodded.
"The Queen Mother will summon the old lady and the young lady in a few days. You can bring the maid with you when you enter the palace." Qingsi said, "Once you go in, the Queen Mother is here, so it won't be a problem for the young lady and the Crown Prince to meet."
This is based on the hope that through Shen Xing, Chanyi will be brought in to see if anything can be discerned.
Shen Xingwan thought for a while about changing Chanyi, and then told her about the matter.
Chanyi asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any symptoms or do you feel something is wrong?"
"I have many dreams and sweats, my hands and feet sometimes feel numb, and I can't feel energetic."
These symptoms can indeed be explained by Fu Jingchao's physical weakness after being seriously injured. If Fu Jingchao hadn't realized something was wrong, this method would have been really clever.
It might be possible to kill someone without even noticing it.
After hearing this, Chanyi said, "I will try my best and make good preparations before entering the palace."
Shen Xingwan asked, "Is it so difficult to get married now?"
Qingsi said with a headache, "On the surface, I still look like a favored person and treat the prince very well, but in fact, I suppress the prince severely."
The emperor is getting more and more impatient, and he probably can't stand the Zhennan Palace for much longer.
"Because of the Northwest Campaign, it's okay for the time being." Qingsi said.
After seeing Qingsi away, Shen Xingwan went to see the old lady and told her the matter.
Apart from being a little worried about Fu Jingchao, the old lady acted particularly calmly.
"I have never been a broad-minded person. That day will come sooner or later."
Some accounts and blood debts should also be properly settled.
