The bedroom was filled with the queen's cries and pleas for mercy. She pulled at the king's robe, but was ruthlessly kicked away and was soon taken away by the guards.

The surroundings gradually became quiet, and the news of the deposed queen spread quickly throughout Beidi like wings, shocking the entire court.

Everyone was discussing this matter after dinner, and the princes also calmed down and waited to see what would happen.

At the same time, Wan Shufang was picking herbs in the back mountains. She had no idea what was happening in the palace. When she saw the herbs she wanted, she curled her lips slightly and said, "Great! I finally found them."

"This medicinal herb is really hard to find."

Wan Shufang reached out and painstakingly picked some herbs from the cliff. She put them to her nose and sniffed them: "Yes, this is it. With this medicinal herb, it can cure the king's illness."

As she spoke, she carefully placed the medicine into the space and was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly saw a poisonous snake crawling towards her with its hissing tongue.

Wan Shufang's face darkened. She took out a dagger and stared at the snake.

When the snake bit her, the dagger slashed through the air with a sharp blade, splitting it in half. Wan Shufang did not stop, but instead stabbed the snake's head with the knife, nailing it to the ground.

Wan Shufang looked at the dead snake with a puzzled look and turned its body over with a branch: "Strange, how could this kind of snake appear in Beidi?"

"I remember that they like warm weather, so it's impossible for them to come here. Could they have crawled here by mistake?" Wan Shufang frowned, puzzled and worried that there might be danger, so she simply didn't bother to worry about it.

He walked down the mountain quickly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he reached the carriage and opened the curtain, he saw a centipede in the carriage.

The carriage was covered with dense poisonous centipedes, which were even wriggling. Wan Shufang was frightened and her expression changed drastically: "So many centipedes..."

"Venomous snakes, centipedes...it seems someone is deliberately targeting them."

She murmured, thinking everything through, and couldn't help but curl up a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She took out the medicine powder to drive away the centipede. After cleaning the carriage, Wan Shufang drove back to the city.

After entering the city, Wan Shufang deliberately left the carriage and wandered along the road. Noticing the little tail following behind her, she raised her eyebrows: "Finally, the flaw is revealed."

"Boss, I want this." Wan Shufang picked up a hairpin, paid for it, and left with a smile.

She walked down the street, and the person behind her followed closely, but the next second, Wan Shufang turned into a small alley.

The people who were following chased after her, but when they reached the corner, they couldn't find Wan Shufang anymore. They looked at each other in confusion and surprise.

"What about people?"

"I don't know. I just saw her go in from here, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Damn it! I'll get scolded again if I lose him and go back."

The man cursed and looked around. At this time, Wan Shufang appeared from another corner. Looking at them questioning and blaming each other, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

A token suddenly flashed in her eyes. Wan Shufang's expression froze. She squinted her eyes and examined it carefully. A face unconsciously came to her mind, and she also confirmed the source of the token.

"It's her, Nalan Yun."

She had also seen that token on Nalan Yun's body, and thought it should belong to the Nalan Mansion.

"Why is she following me? Could it be that she is holding a grudge against me and wants to kill me to silence me..." Wan Shufang murmured, feeling very uneasy.

Although she didn't understand why Nalan Yun was following her, Wan Shufang remained alert. She returned to the Su Mansion and was about to ask Caiwei to help her make medicine, but unexpectedly she saw Su Qingrou.

At this moment, Su Qingrou was arrogantly directing the servants to move flower pots. The sharp voice echoed in her ears, making people feel very disturbed.

"Move all of these to my room. And that, I want that too."

"Fifth Miss, those are Second Miss's flowers."

"What second young lady? There is no second young lady in this family. I am the only young lady!" Su Qingrou gritted her teeth and kicked the servant hard.

Ever since she knew that Su Qingqing was dead, she no longer took Wan Shufang seriously and only regarded her as a dying orphan.

This kick also made the servant fall in front of Wan Shufang. Su Qingrou followed the line of sight and saw that it was Wan Shufang. She immediately said sarcastically: "Oh, you're back. I thought you were dead outside."

Su Qingrou looked at Wan Shufang provocatively, and she emphasized the word "die", implying that Wan Shufang was worried about Nalan Yun's affairs.

Seeing her arrogant look, he disliked her even more and could not help but remind her in a cold voice: "Su Qingrou, I am your sister, please be more careful with your words."

But Su Qingrou wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she sneered and said sarcastically, "You? Are you worthy enough to be my sister?"

"I'm telling you, Su Qingqing, you're not worthy of being my sister from the beginning to the end. I'm going to go find Master Yun and tell him your true colors. I want him to abandon you, and you can just continue to be an old thing that can't get married."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang's face darkened and she was a little unhappy, but she didn't take it seriously. She ignored her and turned back to her room. She directly sent a letter to tell the eldest prince's wife Su Qingrou about returning to her parents' home.

Soon, the eldest prince's wife came in person to arrest the man. The yard was in chaos again. After a lot of noise, Su Qingrou's begging for mercy was heard soon.

"Princess, I am only returning to my parents' home to visit my parents. Please do not blame me."

"Am I the kind of unreasonable person? But you've been back for several days now, and it's time to return to the palace. I'm here to pick you up personally. Why are you still not satisfied?"

As soon as these words were spoken, two servants were standing beside Su Qingrou. The servants were big and strong, and their beatings hurt a lot. She immediately calmed down and did not dare to act rashly.

"Come here, hurry up and help Aunt Su back and serve her well."

"Yes, Princess."

At the command of the eldest prince's wife, the maids immediately took action, dragging and pulling Su Qingrou. Even if Su Qingrou was unwilling, she had to go back.

Madam Su cried until her eyes were red, but she did not dare to say anything wrong about the eldest prince's wife. She could only endure the pain and watch her daughter leave.

Watching this scene, Wan Shufang couldn't help but smack her lips and sighed, "As expected, power and money are the most supportive. Without power and influence, it's easy to be bullied."

As she spoke, she thought of Nalan Yun again, sighed deeply, shook her head and stopped thinking about it, concentrating on refining the medicine.

Late at night, Wan Shufang finally finished making the medicine. A smile appeared on her face, and she took the pills directly into the palace. Unexpectedly, when she reached the imperial garden, she saw a person lying on the ground.

"Who is that?" Wan Shufang looked puzzled. She took a few steps forward and squatted down to check. She saw a familiar face, which made her exclaim in surprise: "Tan Tai He?"

"How could you have fainted in the Imperial Garden so late at night? Who hurt you?"

She had two questions in her mind, but no one on the ground could answer them. Wan Shufang looked alert and looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

She hesitated again and again, but still did not help.
