After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Xia Yu walked to Shen Yuyao's side and helped her up with both hands. "We are all at home, no need to be polite." He turned to Huang and said, "You should get up too."

Shen Yuyao smiled and said, "This is Huang, the noblewoman of the Li Dynasty, who was given to the prince as a concubine by the queen mother."

"Oh, what is she doing here?" Xia Yu's eyes turned cold. Coming to Shen Yuyao's palace at this hour, the noble lady of the Li Dynasty really had no manners!

"Ms. Huang came to pay her respects to me." Shen Yuyao covered her mouth with a smile in her eyes.

Am I telling you that she is here to sleep with you?

"Now that you've greeted me, just get out!" Xia Yu didn't even take a closer look at Huang, and directly asked Shen Yuyao to chase her out.

After hearing this, Huang could only leave in disappointment.

Fortunately, Shen Yuyao said that Prince Ning would select the best one in the future and treat everyone equally. Once the prince has tasted her kindness, he will not be afraid of not having the opportunity to ascend to the throne.

"Prince, are you feeling better now? Why did you suddenly come to my palace?" Shen Yuyao watched Huang leave, then sat down on the soft chair, looking at Xia Yu with concern.

"Yes, I'm completely healed now, and my skills are even better than before!"

Prince Ning seemed to be in a good mood. "Yuyao, the imperial doctors in the palace have also looked at your prescription. They all think that the prescription is not particularly overbearing. But why is it that the decoction can actually enhance my power?"

It turned out that he came here for this matter.

Shen Yuyao felt a little disappointed.

"Your Majesty, have you found out who did this?" Shen Yuyao didn't want to tell King Ning about Xia Xiaoxian's peculiarities, so she changed the subject and asked, "The thieves are really too arrogant!"

"There is no concrete evidence as to who gave the order, but I have already sent a letter to the capital to report the matter. I believe there will be a result sooner or later."

Prince Ning's tone was so calm that Shen Yuyao guessed that he must have found a clue, but Prince Ning just had no evidence yet.

Come to think of it, Prince Ning is actually a meticulous and careful person, not as rough and rude as the outside world says.

After careful consideration and further analysis, the answer is obvious. Those who dared to attack King Ning in his own fiefdom were definitely not ordinary folks.

Those who hate Prince Ning or have conflicts of interest with him are nothing more than the competition between the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty and the princes.

However, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were basically unable to obtain such private information as when Prince Ning would return to the palace and that there were no experts left in the palace to pick him up.

It seems that among the personal soldiers who followed Prince Ning back to the palace, there must be someone with ulterior motives.

The whole plan was well-thought-out and the purpose was very clear, which was to kill Prince Ning!

But what the planners had not expected was that they had forgotten that Shen Yuyao and Xia Xiaoxian were also in the mansion, which led to their failure.

Fortunately, although King Ning was seriously injured, Xia Xiaoxian's blood served as a guide, and it unexpectedly improved King Ning's skills, so he was able to escape danger.

Xia Yu and Shen Yuyao talked for a long time about the assassination.

Finally, Xia Yu suddenly said to Shen Yuyao in a gloomy voice: "Do you really want me to turn over the cards? Don't you think there is something wrong with that?"

When Shen Yuyao heard this, her heart tightened, as if it had missed a few beats, and her face immediately darkened.

Prince Ning knew it so quickly?

Could it be that he has really recovered well and needs someone to sleep with him?

Xia Yu saw Shen Yuyao's expression change slightly, and couldn't help but frowned, "Yuyao, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuyao then realized her reaction, which seemed to be wrong. She quickly put away her expression and shook her head gently, saying, "It's okay. I just came up with this idea. How did the prince know it so quickly?"

"On my way to your palace, I happened to meet Xiao Huanzi, and he informed me of your arrangements, Princess."

Xia Yu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"The tea is getting a little cold."

Zi Su beside her understood and said hurriedly, "I will go and change it for the prince right away."

Xia Yu looked up at Zi Su with eyes full of approval.

She's quite a sensible girl.

"I cannot return these concubines sent by my mother to the palace."

After seeing Zi Su leave, Xia Yu said to Shen Yuyao awkwardly: "Yuyao, you should know that I am not the kind of lustful person, why......"

Shen Yuyao listened to Xia Yu's story calmly, but there were some ripples in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I came up with the idea of ​​flipping the cards to avoid unrest in the backyard."

After Shen Yuyao finished speaking, she lowered her head and said nothing more.

As a prince, Xia Yu should know the importance of offspring. On this point, not only Shen Yuyao cannot do whatever she wants, but Prince Ning Xia Yu is the same.

What's more, some of the concubines this time were sent by the Queen Mother, which is related to the relationship with the neighboring Li Dynasty.

As the mistress, if Shen Yuyao doesn't make some arrangements and the matter drags on for a long time, it will not be of any benefit to Prince Ning and Prince Ning's Mansion.

Furthermore, those concubines who were sent here like commodities could no longer be commodities since the day they entered Prince Ning’s Mansion. They could only be people of Prince Ning’s Mansion in life and ghosts of this Prince Ning’s Mansion in death!

Since there is such a fate, Shen Yuyao can only let them benefit the palace, and not let them cause unrest in the backyard of the palace.

Only if they can live in harmony can the entire backyard of the palace be peaceful, and Prince Ning will have enough energy to govern the entire Yanjing.

Even deep down in Shen Yuyao's heart, she was full of infinite longing for Xu Yunxuan's unrealistic fantasy of "a couple for a lifetime".

But now, she can only think from the perspective of Princess Ning and do what Princess Ning should do.

Only when the palace is safe will the Duke be safe.

Shen Yuyao understood this truth clearly.

Shen Yuyao sorted out her thoughts a little, and continued to speak to Xia Yu calmly as usual: "My lord, you should also put Ning Wangfu first."

She almost said that it is your responsibility and obligation as Prince Ning Xia Yu to have children.

Prince Ning looked at Shen Yuyao's eyes, which were wide open.

This woman is really unpredictable.

She looks as calm as water, does it really mean she doesn't understand his heart?

If I remember correctly, three years ago, it was Shen Yuyao who cried and begged the emperor to grant him marriage.

After the wedding, everything was measured and decided based on Xia Yu's likes and dislikes.

Nowadays, everything is based on the Ning Palace and the city of Yanjing.

These were not what Xia Yu wanted to hear. What he wanted to hear was what she had said to him a long time ago: "I am attracted to you."

Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt a little discouraged.

Perhaps he had hurt her so deeply before that she didn't realize that he had become completely different.

"In that case, let's do as the princess says."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he felt a little unhappy. He didn't even say goodbye, and walked out of Shen Yuyao's bedroom door.

Shen Yuyao stared blankly at Xia Yu's leaving back, feeling a little disappointed.
