In order to match what he said last night, Shen Xingwan stayed at home the next day and said he was sick, and Shen Qingran also stayed at home.
The Shen Mansion suddenly became quiet.
Of course, the Fourth Wife's yard was particularly lively. The Fourth Wife, who had taken back the housekeeping rights, couldn't wait to drag her sick body away, start to deal with things, and start to establish her authority.
On the third day that Shen Xingwan stayed in seclusion, the female official from the Queen Mother's Palace came to deliver a message, and the Queen Mother summoned Mrs. Shen and Shen Xingwan to the palace for an audience.
Under the guidance of the nanny sent by Mrs. Shen, Shen Xingwan made preparations and entered the palace with Mrs. Shen before dawn the next day.
The two got off the carriage outside the palace gate. Fortunately, the father-in-law and aunt sent by the Queen Mother were already waiting.
The two entered the palace smoothly.
Shen Xingwan took a few curious glances, and it was indeed so big that he couldn't even see the end of it.
After walking for a long time, my head was spinning, and I finally arrived at Cining, where the Queen Mother lived, with glazed tiles, a white marble seat, surrounded by stone sculptures, and dragons and phoenixes flying together.
The two walked inside and saluted, "See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"
After waiting for a while, a majestic voice sounded, "Get up."
A young female official came down to help the old lady and showed her her seat. A palace maid served tea to the two of them.
The Queen Mother was sitting at the top. She was an old lady who looked a bit majestic at first glance, with sharp eyes. She looked at the old lady and said with nostalgia, "We haven't seen each other for many years. We are all old."
Mrs. Shen looked at the Queen Mother and said softly, "You don't seem to have changed much."
"Haha, please stop trying to make me happy." The Queen Mother laughed, "You will become a monster before you grow old."
It was obvious from their words that the two of them were familiar with each other.
Back then, the daughter of the Xie family was the queen, and now the queen mother is the concubine. There has always been harmony between the two.
Later, the former crown prince, Empress Xie, got into trouble one after another, and the current emperor was recorded in the name of the empress dowager, who was still an imperial noble at that time.
When the emperor ascended the throne, the imperial concubine became the queen mother.
Mrs. Shen was the aunt of the former Crown Prince, and Queen Xie's sister often came to the palace, so she was quite familiar with the Queen Mother, who was still a noble concubine at that time.
The two talked for a while, and the Queen Mother finally looked at Shen Xingwan, "You must be Xingwan."
Shen Xingwan responded "Yes" obediently.
The Queen Mother was not very satisfied with her at first. She didn't like her being involved with Fu Jingchao, and she didn't like Fu Jingchao being involved with the Shen family.
The Shen family has produced two queens, and they have such a scary past.
The Zhennan Palace was already in a difficult situation, but after getting involved with the Shen family, it became a thorn in the emperor's side.
She sent people to Jiangnan really to destroy this relationship.
She didn't expect that Fu Jingchao wanted to protect her so obviously, and even involved the sixth prince, so she had to compromise in the end.
She believed that the girl who could make Fu Jingchao look at her in a new light must have something special about her.
Just when the two came together, in the eyes of the emperor, it was the union of the Shen family and Zhennan Mansion.
Therefore, the emperor stopped acting after the engagement between the two was settled. First he pushed Fu Jingchao to the northwest battlefield, and now he suppressed him in every possible way.
When Fu Jingchao came back after being seriously injured, the Queen Mother asked him, "Do you regret it? You should have known when you chose to enter into a formal engagement with her that this would cause dissatisfaction to the emperor."
The marriage between the once most powerful family and now the most powerful royal family, but upon closer inspection, the emperor felt guilty about both families. How could he sleep peacefully?
The Queen Mother still remembers Fu Jingchao's expression, his eyes were astonishingly bright, "If you don't regret it, I will only regret it if I can't marry her!"
From that moment on, the Queen Mother compromised.
Fu Jingchao was almost brought up by her, since he was someone he loved so much that he almost risked his life by letting him go.
There is no need for her to be the bad guy and beat up the mandarin ducks.
Therefore, the Queen Mother's attitude towards Shen Xingwan was quite gentle, "Go and see Jing Chao, he has been talking about you for a long time."
The maid next to the Queen Mother smiled at Shen Xingwan and said, "My lady, follow me. I will lead the way."
When Shen Xingwan walked out of Cining Palace, Chanyi, who was not qualified to enter, was already waiting for her outside.
The two followed the eldest maid and soon arrived at the place where Fu Jingchao lived.
A very exquisite palace.
"Girl, please come inside."
As soon as Shen Xingwan entered, Ling, who had been waiting for her for a long time, said happily, "The lady is finally here, the prince has been waiting for her for a long time."
Then he greeted the palace maid skillfully, "Thank you, sister, for sending me here."
The palace maid responded with a smile and withdrew with a wink.
Hongling took Shen Xingwan to the study and said to Shen Xingwan, "The prince is inside."
Shen Xingwan walked in, and it was extremely quiet inside.
When I walked in, I found Fu Jingchao asleep on the table.
The whole person looks extremely harmless.
Shen Xingwan walked over and pinched his ears, and Fu Jingchao slowly woke up.
Looking at Shen Xingwan, his expression was a bit dull.
He was inexplicably cute, and Shen Xingwan couldn't help but pinch his face, "Come back to your senses..."
Only then did Fu Jingchao hold her rebellious hand, and when he came back to his senses, he said melancholy, "I just waited and fell asleep."
Hong Ling came in with tea and looked at Fu Jingchao worriedly, "Why did I fall asleep again? I obviously just fell asleep not long ago..."
Shen Xingwan looked at Fu Jingcheng attentively. He looked pale and lethargic, like a person who had been ill for a long time.
"Still haven't found the reason?" Shen Xingwan asked.
Fu Jingchao shook his head, "The Queen Mother also asked the imperial doctor to look at it, but there is still no result. The explanations are similar."
The people the Queen Mother invited must be from her faction, so they would not lie.
Hong Ling said worriedly, "The things in the room have been checked many times and even replaced once."
Even the unusual flowers and plants in the yard were pulled out. Fu Jingchao still became more and more lethargic, and his body became weaker day by day.
However, it was not obvious on the surface, and the emperor used this as an excuse not to let him out of the palace. He said that he could use the medicinal materials in the palace freely and let him take good care of himself in the palace.
Shen Xingwan didn't care to talk to him about anything else for a while, and said to Chanyi, "Come here and check your pulse."
Chanyi came over and took Fu Jingchao's pulse seriously.
The room was extremely quiet. Chanyi frowned slightly and said, "From the pulse point of view, there is indeed no problem. It seems that these symptoms are just caused by the prince's too weak body."
But with Fu Jingchao's vigilance, he felt something was wrong, so it must be something wrong.
Chanyi pondered for a moment and said, "It just means that the technique is superb and it's not easy to detect."
Hong Ling is thoughtful, "I kept the prince's medicine residue, you can take a look."
Chanyi ran to get the dregs of medicine again. Chanyi checked it carefully and found that there was still no problem.
It can even be said that he is worthy of being an imperial doctor, and he is quite good at dispensing medicines.
"What are we going to do if this continues!" Hong Ling was impatient and immediately became anxious.
Chanyi said, "Since you want to kill people invisible, you won't do it so obviously. You must have used other methods that are not easy to detect!"
★Prince Zi: Although I won’t say it, I still love her very much. I don’t regret it if I ask.
