In Cining Palace, Song Shuwan followed the female official Tao Yao and stood in front of the Queen Mother again: "I see the Queen Mother."
"Without courtesy, the Ai family wants you to enter the palace today because they want you to see Princess Jingyang."
"Jingyang, princess?"
Song Shuwan was caught off guard when she heard these four words, and her thoughts unconsciously drifted to a few days ago. She had been busy asking Han Sanzhen for advice, but she had forgotten about Princess Jingyang and Xie Youxing. Speaking of which, the power competition between these parties has arrived.
To what extent?
She was thinking about it, but nothing showed on her face, so she asked calmly: "I wonder what happened to Princess Jingyang?"
"It's hard to tell about the Ai family. Anyway, you go and show her first, Taoyao."
"My slave understands."
Less than half an hour later, Song Shuwan saw Princess Jingyang. Compared to the past, Princess Jingyang seemed to have lost her soul. She was lying half on the soft couch, her eyes full of sadness and pain. Looking carefully,
Still a little numb.
"My wife, please see Princess Jingyang."
Princess Jingyang raised her eyes sluggishly: "You, are you the Crown Princess?"
"It is my wife."
Princess Jingyang's eyes narrowed slightly and she asked, "Are you here to see my joke?"
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes: "Princess, I was just joking. I'm not that curious. It's just that the Queen Mother is worried about you, so she specially asked me to come over and show you."
"Show me the princess?"
Princess Jingyang sneered, and suddenly sat up from the soft couch: "If she really loves me, she should go to speak for me in front of my father, instead of asking you to come over afterwards. She clearly knows..."
Princess Jingyang paused mid-sentence, her face full of ridicule: "You don't have to show me, just leave the palace."
Song Shuwan looked at Princess Jingyang quietly for a long time, until Princess Jingyang looked angry, she looked away: "The queen mother has sent the concubine to the palace for the sake of the princess. No matter what, please let the concubine see her, so,
Only a minister can give an explanation to the Queen Mother, right?"
Princess Jingyang's heart heaved violently several times, and she closed her eyes for a long time: "You can watch it if you want. After all, I have nothing to see."
After that, she lay back on the soft couch and returned to her previous appearance.
"excuse me."
Song Shu said wanly and stepped forward to diagnose Princess Jingyang's pulse: "Princess's health is not bad, but she is too worried and is not good for her heart pulse. Please pay more attention to her."
Princess Jingyang closed her eyes, making no sound or moving.
Seeing this, Song Shuwan did not stay, bowed and left.
On the way back to Cining Palace, Taoyao asked: "How is Princess Jingyang's health?"
Song Shuwan repeated what she had said, and saw Tao Yao frown: "In other words, Princess Jingyang is very good now?"
Song Shuwan was silent. Wasn't what she said clear enough?
At this time, the two entered the Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother asked a question. After receiving the answer, she was silent for a long time.
In the silence, Song Shuwan came to her senses. What the Queen Mother wanted was not the answer that Princess Jingyang was in good health, but...
She raised her head, but before she could speak, she heard the Queen Mother say: "The way the Ai family looks at Jingyang seems to be trapped by love, and they are so worried that they are about to die. What does the Crown Princess think?"
Song Shuwan: "..."
The Queen Mother wanted her to speak up and make arrangements for Princess Jingyang. It seemed that King Yong had made a lot of concessions, so there was no need for her to confront the royal people.
Thinking about it, Song Shuwan said: "What the Queen Mother said is that Princess Jingyang is indeed trapped by love and worries so much that it affects her heart."
The Queen Mother showed satisfaction on her face: "The Ai family knows, please leave the palace."
"yes."
Song Shuwan bowed neatly and left, returning to the Marquis Mansion. She told Pei Huan about the Queen Mother's behavior: "Your Majesty, where is Prince Yong..."
"King Yong handed over military power."
After just one sentence, Song Shuwan couldn't help but hold her eyebrows: "Because of the military power, even the princess can... How do the emperor and the queen mother plan to arrange Princess Jingyang?"
Pei Huan tilted his head slightly: "Are you very concerned about Princess Jingyang?"
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes: "I just sympathize with her."
As noble as a princess, she can be abandoned in the face of interests. Even if Song Shuwan dislikes Princess Jingyang, she will still sympathize with her.
Pei Huan said lightly: "There is no need to sympathize. As a member of the royal family, Jingyang has lost her reputation and lost value no matter whether she is active or passive. She will naturally have to pay the price. It can only be said that she is not cautious enough. That's all."
That’s all.”
Song Shuwan opened her mouth, and various words came out, but she couldn't say a word.
After a long time, she sighed: "If I have no value, will the prince think the same way?"
Pei Huan was speechless, but Song Shuwan saw the answer from the silence. If she had no value, she would be left behind like Princess Jingyang.
"It seems like I have to work hard to make myself more useful."
Song Shuwan stood up, said something with a smile and left.
What Song Shuwan didn't know was that as soon as her front leg left, the back leg of the set player appeared in the room, with a bit of confusion in her eyes.
"Why would the Crown Prince let the Crown Princess have such thoughts? You shouldn't be..."
"Um?"
The slightly raised final voice made An San quickly say the words on his lips: "It's my subordinate who overstepped his bounds."
"Step back, this is between her and me."
"yes."
An San didn't dare to say anything, so he bowed and left the room.
On the other side, Song Shuwan returned to the room, thinking about what Pei Huan had just said, and was speechless for a long time.
At this moment, the window on the side was pushed open. She turned around and saw that Fei Yuan had climbed in through the window again. She felt a little funny.
"Don't I have a door? I want you to climb in through the window every time."
Fei Yuan blinked: "It's not that there is no gate, it's just that the servant is secretly protecting the Crown Prince, so naturally you have to be more careful."
Speaking of protecting Pei Huan, Song Shuwan suddenly remembered something she had realized before and stood up instantly: "Does the Crown Prince not know that you are protecting him?"
Fei Yuan scratched his head: "Your Majesty, you should know about it. After all, there are so many secret guards around you."
Song Shuwan was silent, and after a long time she said: "I will go find what the prince said, please step aside."
"yes."
With this interruption, Fei Yuan forgot the purpose of coming here, turned around and left.
The next day, Song Shuwan took the book given by Han Sanzhen to Cunshan Hall. Ding Cun was sitting in Cunshan Hall, holding his chin with one hand, looking listless.
"What's wrong, have you read all the medical books I gave you before?"
A few days ago, Song Shuwan asked Baicao to bring some medical books to Cunshan Hall. Ding Cun must be very busy right now.
Ding Cun came back to his senses and jumped up: "The medical book, I haven't finished reading the medical book yet. Imperial Concubine, why are you here today?"
Song Shuwan gave a signal to Baicao behind her, and the latter took out a medical book.
Ding Cun looked at it, and his face suddenly turned bitter: "Prince Concubine, I haven't finished reading the previous medical books."
"You go somewhere with me."
The two people's voices fell at the same time, and Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows: "You..."
Ding Cun quickly said: "I will go with the Crown Princess."
