After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

[In the original story, my mother found out that my father was going to rebel, so she asked for a divorce. But right after the divorce, my father imprisoned her and didn’t release her until he ascended the throne! No, no! Mother, don’t divorce me, or I won’t be able to see you again!]

Zhao Ying's hands hanging down below her body trembled.

presumptuous!

Shangguan Shu is so outrageous!

Zhao Ying suppressed her anger and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. The prince treats me very well."

Seeing that Zhao Ying couldn't persuade her, the Crown Princess was helpless.

She had no choice but to find another topic. She looked at Shangguan Qingyue in Nanny Li's arms. Thinking of the disturbances in the previous dynasty, the Crown Princess's eyes were mixed with sympathy. "This child has a tragic fate. Your brother told me about the things in the previous dynasty, but they were all fabricated! Those thieves spread lies to confuse the people! Your father didn't believe it either, but there were too many people who gave advice, and he couldn't go against the wishes of his ministers..."

"I understand." So she didn't go to the palace to find her father.

[Aunt, please stop sympathizing with me. Look at yourself in the mirror. Your forehead is dark and your eyes are dull. Someone must have stabbed you in the back. Let me calculate... Oh, it's Li Liangdi from your house.]

[Wow... this Li Liang Di has a good fate. After cursing you to death, she really became the Crown Princess. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, she became the Queen, and she poisoned your son to death! ]

Zhao Ying's pupils slightly dilated, she swallowed, looked around, moved closer to the Crown Princess, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you something, you have to tell me the truth."

The Crown Princess was a little flustered by her, "What's the matter?"

"Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

The Crown Princess thought for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes and said in surprise, "How do you know that I have been weak and afraid of the cold, tired and sleepy recently, and have nightmares at night. The scenes in the dreams are very horrifying! I called the imperial physician but he said there is nothing wrong."

[Of course they can't tell. Your three souls and seven spirits have been taken away by a human doll. Li Liangdi kills one spirit every seven days, and one soul every nine days. In less than three months, you will die of exhaustion! ]

[Oh, today happens to be another seven days, your second soul is about to be gone. ]

"Sister-in-law, have you ever thought that someone would harm you?"

"what do you mean?"

Zhao Ying and the Crown Princess grew up together. They were sisters-in-law and best friends. There was nothing taboo about it. She said bluntly, "Go back and check Li Liang Di's room. She made a doll to curse you!"

"What? She is so bold? Ying'er, how did you know?"

Zhao Ying confirmed it again. Walls can’t hear anything. This time, she asked Li Ma to take Shangguan Qingyue away as well. “I can hear Yue’er’s thoughts. She told me.”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess sighed, "Ying'er, how could you believe what a child said!"

"Sister-in-law, I believe what Yue'er says!"

Just by hearing about the evil ambitions of the Duke of Zhenguo's family, she believed Xiao Yue'er's words without a doubt.

However, she couldn't tell her brother and father yet, as she didn't have any definite evidence, and the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would gradually disintegrate.

Zhao Ying's firm tone made the Crown Princess hesitate. After a while, she asked in surprise, "Could it be that Yue'er is really the reincarnation of some demon child?"

"Pah, pah, pah! Yue'er looks so good, how can she be a monster!"

She grabbed Zhao Ying's hand and said, "Don't worry, Ying'er. I'll take a look when I get back. It's better to be prepared."

Zhao Ying felt relieved to see that she listened to his advice.

The banquet was about to start. Zhao Ying saw that Shangguan Shu had returned. She wondered, "Eh? Why hasn't Huai'an arrived yet? Today is a good day for her own daughter. She..."

Before Zhao Ying finished speaking, she heard the Crown Princess chuckle, "She, I'm afraid she can't come today!"

"Why?"

"You don't know how lively the Zhongcui Palace was yesterday!"

"What's the excitement?"

As soon as Zhao Ying finished speaking, she felt the hem of her skirt move, and the Crown Princess also felt it. They both looked down and saw that Xiao Yue'er had gotten off Nanny Li at some point and came in. Now she was looking at the Crown Princess with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for her to continue.

The Crown Princess found it funny and bent over to pick up the little guy, "Our little Yue'er wants to hear it too, right?"

Shangguan Qingyue nodded repeatedly.

【Yueer loves watching the fun the most! 】

The Crown Princess couldn't wait any longer. "I don't know where a mouse as big as a cat came from in the palace. It got into Zhong Cui Palace yesterday, and no one noticed it."

"Huaian was taking a nap when a mouse bit Huaian's ear and refused to let go! It tore off Huaian's ear with skin and flesh!"

"Ah?" Zhao Ying felt pain in her heart.

The next second, Zhao Ying's heart sank.

The prince said this morning that he would come back early, but he just came back. I guess he went to see Huai'an, right?

The Crown Princess did not notice Zhao Ying's sudden change of expression, and continued to talk to herself:

"The palace has been catching mice all day, and Huai'an has also been making trouble in the palace all day!"

"Huai'an used to be quiet and well-behaved, but this time he must have been frightened by the rat and made a big fuss in Zhongcui Palace. He even asked father to beat all the guards and palace maids on duty to death!"

The Crown Princess sighed and patted Xiao Qingyue in her arms slowly, feeling rather gloating, "I don't know what happened to Huai'an these days. First his hair was burned off by a fire, then his ears were gnawed off by rats while he was sleeping. I don't know what disaster will happen next..."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the Crown Princess deliberately raised her voice, "Aren't her children known as spirit children? Why don't they bless their mother?"

"Yes, Princess Huai'an has been unlucky recently. I heard that her entire ear was bitten off!"

"Not only that, all my hair is burnt off!"

"But this 'demon child' of the Duke's family looks cute and adorable, like a blessed person. They say that evil spirits are unlucky, and Princess Huaian has suffered a disaster, but his mother is fine, and the Duke's family is fine too!"

Seeing that everyone was indeed whispering, the Crown Princess smiled with satisfaction.

Shangguan Qingyue's face turned red with shame.

[I didn't expect that I was so unlucky. Just being exposed to my bad luck would backfire so badly.]

[It seems that I should look for my traitor father more often. Isn't it easy to destroy his huge kingdom? ]

[Hahahahahahahaha hiccup…]

The little guy in her arms suddenly hiccupped, and the Crown Princess was startled, "Hey, what happened to Yue'er?"

The Crown Princess raised her hand to call for the imperial physician, but was stopped by Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying took the child over helplessly, "She's fine."

I just laughed so hard that I almost choked.

However, Zhao Ying also heard from Shangguan Qingyue's inner voice that the person who put the curse on her was Huai'an, so she suffered the backlash!

I felt a little sympathy for her just now, but now I don't feel anything at all.

...You deserve it!

Unjust is doomed to destruction!

The banquet begins.

The old Duke, Shangguan Shu, Shangguan Zhu, Shangguan Dan, the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess's youngest son Zhao Xiao, Zhao Ying, and Shangguan Qingyue were at the same table.

The protagonist today is Hu Yanxue, so Hu Yanxue was also called to the main table.

Huyanxue was dressed very formally, especially when Zhao Ying gave her a phoenix hairpin from the previous queen's dowry. Huyanxue became even more arrogant, and instead of feeling any gratitude towards Zhao Ying, she looked down on her even more in her heart.

Everyone at the dinner table toasted each other, except Zhao Ying.
