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

"Shangguan Shu, what do you mean?"

"Don't even think about divorce in this life!"

Shangguan Shu curled his lips slightly, "I said, I will not divorce you. Don't even mention that you want to make a deal with me using Zhao Ziyin. Even if it's anyone else, I won't agree!"

Zhao Ying's eyebrows were twisted into a knot. She looked at Shangguan Shu in surprise, "Why are you doing this?"

"You've also seen Huai'an's pain. Can you bear it?"

"Don't think that I would be so heartless as to give the elixir to her... You also heard Yue'er's thoughts that day. Zhao Ziyin would humiliate my Qi You like that. I can't find Qi You now, but..."

Zhao Ying paused, "If Zhao Ziyin dies, my Qi You will be able to avoid disaster!"

Shangguan Shu raised his eyes slightly, stared at Zhao Ying for a while, and suddenly smiled.

The deep laugh made Zhao Ying's scalp tingle.

"Princess, you worry too much. I never thought of asking you to compromise and save Princess Huai'an's child."

I never thought I would do this for you...

Shangguan Shu's smile faded and he was distracted for a moment.

"Are you really going to watch Zhao Ziyin die and Huai'an be heartbroken?"

"Everyone has his own destiny..."

Zhao Ying took a long breath and was almost unable to control his emotions.

Shangguan Shu may have seen through it, and in order to prevent her from getting angry, he stood up tactfully and said, "It's getting late, you and Yue'er should go to bed!"

"I know you don't want to see me now. I'll sleep in the study tonight."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhao Ying's response.

Zhao Ying was furious. He picked up an apple from the table and threw it at Shangguan Shu's back.

Shangguan Shu hissed in pain, turned around, frowned and glared at Zhao Ying, before finally giving in and turning away.

……

The next day, no bad news had yet come from the palace.

Zhao Ying thought that perhaps Zhao Ziyan's injuries were not as serious as she imagined.

She had promised the Crown Prince that she would visit the Crown Princess today, so she went to the Crown Prince's Mansion after breakfast.

Master Wugen led his disciples to set up a formation. The Crown Princess sat in the hall, her face pale and she looked exhausted.

Zhao Ying thought of what Yue'er had said, the soul-enchanting doll.

The prince was not at home, so she asked the maid and found out that the prince had stayed in Li Liangdi's room last night and Li Liangdi was not feeling well.

The depression that had been weighing on Zhao Ying's heart since last night rose straight into his mind.

Li Liangdi is sick?

The Crown Princess is about to die!!

Zhao Ying walked directly to the Crown Princess. Seeing her coming, the Crown Princess perked up a bit and said, "Ying'er, you're here..."

"Are you acting like this because my brother favors Li Liang Di?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess lowered her eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "You also know that he has doted on that girl for many years..."

"Noble ladies like us have no say in anything since we were born. To your brother, the crown prince, I am just a force supported by the Wei family. How can we talk about feelings?"

"Now that he has your son, my Wei family has become dispensable."

Zhao Ying became even angrier after hearing this.

Zhao Cong still needs to rely on Shangguan Shu?

He really doesn't know how critical the current situation is!

"How can my brother be so confused..."

The Crown Princess was completely disappointed. "You also know my methods. If your brother had any affection for me, I would not admit defeat and let that girl hurt me again and again. However, I have been seriously ill these days and I have seen it clearly." The Crown Princess sighed, "Your Zhao family is full of romantic people. Back then, His Majesty did it for Queen Xiaomin, and today, the Crown Prince does it for that little girl!"

"Ying'er, you should try to persuade your brother! If he acts like this...it's not a big deal to me, but the censor's words will be enough to make him suffer!"

How could Zhao Ying not understand? She could never have imagined that Zhao Cong doted on Li Liangdi to such an extent.

It even threatened his position as crown prince!

Although the emperor loves her and Zhao Cong, his father has more than one son, Zhao Cong. The other princes are eyeing the throne. If Zhao Cong is deposed... they will probably be even more miserable!

Zhao Ying sat down, thought for a moment, and said to the Crown Princess, "The most important thing now is... to find the new soul-enchanting doll that Li Liang Di made."

The Crown Princess shook her head and smiled bitterly, "So what if we find it out?"

With Zhao Cong protecting him, even if he is forgiven once, there will be a next time, and the next time.

Zhao Ying patted her hands and said, "I have a way that will not hurt the relationship between you and your brother, and will also get rid of that girl!"

The Crown Princess was puzzled, and Zhao Ying advised: "You just need to act according to the situation!"

After saying that, Zhao Ying said to the maid in the Prince's Mansion, "Go and invite the Prince and Li Liangdi over!"

"I have been here for a long time, but my brother has not come out to see me. Doesn't that mean he doesn't welcome me?"

The maid was told to go to Li Liangdi's yard immediately to invite the two of them.

The Crown Princess frowned, "Why did you ask them to come here? It makes me upset."

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "Just block it. I want to see my brother."

About half a cup of tea later, Zhao Cong came with Li Liangdi. Li Liangdi had a forehead protector on her head and her face was pale, looking even worse than the Crown Princess. She came in and wanted to kneel down to pay her respects, but was stopped by Zhao Cong.

"You are still sick, so forget about this gift!"

Li Liang Di was extremely obedient. She only said, "May my sister be well, and Princess Cheng Qian be well!"

Zhao Ying waved her fan and joked, "Brother, I see that the feng shui of your house is not good. How come Liang Di is also sick?"

As she spoke, Zhao Ying secretly winked at Nanny Li beside her, and Nanny Li went out while no one was paying attention.

Zhao Cong laughed and scolded, "Did you come here just to brag?"

He looked at the Crown Princess, "Now that you're here, I think Ah Shu's face looks a little better."

The Crown Princess pulled the corner of her mouth, unwilling to put on any show, "You two brothers and sisters can chat first, I'll go lie down for a while."

A few people chatted for a while...

Zhao Ying said, "I just heard from my sister-in-law that Liang Di's lotus cake is very delicious. I wanted to bring some back for Yue Er to try today, but I didn't expect... Liang Di is sick."

Zhao Ying's tone was full of regret.

Li Liangdi looked at Zhao Ying pitifully with dew in her eyes, "If Princess wants to eat, I will make it for her right away! Ahem... ahem..."

Zhao Ying's eyebrows raised slightly.

Zhao Cong supported Li Liangdi and complained, "Does your Zhenguo Mansion need a bite of cake? Do you really need to trouble your sister-in-law Liangdi?"

Zhao Ying was about to say something when she saw Nanny Li winking at her from the corner of her eye. Zhao Ying simply softened her tone, "Brother, who do you think your sister is? Am I such an arrogant and mean person?"

Zhao Cong was not really angry with Zhao Ying, and he took a step back after hearing that.

"If you want to eat it, I'm not refusing to give it to you. When Liang Di recovers from her illness, I'll ask her to make it for you!"

Zhao Ying smiled brightly, "Then I'll wait!"

"How about this! I'll invite a good imperial physician for Liang Di! Brother, do you remember the imperial physician Xing, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, who was specially invited to check the Queen Mother's pulse?"

"He is a very skilled doctor, and he retired from the Imperial Hospital a long time ago. I know that you are worried that the censor will report you for doting on your concubine because of your high position as the Crown Prince. How about this? I will ask my servant to go to the palace with my princess token to invite him. I believe that Imperial Doctor Xing will not refuse me face!"

"In that case, I want to thank you!"

"We brothers and sisters are still talking about thanking each other?"

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, she asked Hou Zhu to take her token to invite Imperial Physician Xing.

Houzhu left.

Zhao Ying used the excuse of wanting to stroll around the Prince's Mansion, so Zhao Cong asked Li Liangdi to go back first and he would accompany the Crown Princess.

Zhao Ying came out and met Li Ma, and the two found an empty corner.

Nanny Li took out the paper doll she had searched in Li Liangdi's yard. It was wrapped in red paper and had terrifying facial features, which made people feel creepy.
