My Lady is well

Shen Yueyao took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time. Having grown up in an environment where human rights were paramount, she couldn't help but feel angry about such disregard for human life.

She cast her eyes on the floor and suddenly remembered Jing Ruzhang's words "he deserves to die".

Maybe he knew everything. She even suspected that he knew it was Li Ning who did it, so she didn't investigate further.

Shen Yueyao looked at her and said, "Now that the revenge has been taken, the matter is over, but... you still owe me."

"Remember, I said I could save your life. I see you have a grudge against Wen Xueshu, how about... I kill her for you."

Shen Yueyao was shocked by her words. She thought she was a chivalrous person just now and felt a bit of admiration for her. How could this deity kill people as soon as she opened her mouth?

She spoke seriously, as if she could really kill Wen Xueshu as long as Shen Yueyao nodded.

Shen Yueyao waved her hands quickly: "...No, no need."

She was tortured half to death and was even tortured to death. If she was really killed, she would probably be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs.

Shen Yueyao looked at her worriedly and gave her instructions.

"Just stay away from her."

Seeing that she looked cowardly, Li Ning stopped forcing her and stood up to leave. Suddenly, she remembered something and stopped to remind her.

"I think Yang Li doesn't like you. She is not a good person."

Although Li Ning seems to be indifferent to worldly affairs, he is actually quite observant.

Shen Yueyao just nodded slightly and said "hmm".

The wind in late spring carries a bit of the dryness of early summer, causing ripples on the surface of the pond and rustling of grass and trees.

The emperor was seriously ill and urgently summoned the crown prince back to the capital. Jing Ruzhang did not even have time to return to the Eastern Palace and went straight to the Qinxin Palace.

The emperor looked haggard and he coughed twice, spitting out blood, which frightened the queen so much that she burst into tears.

When Jing Ruzhang rushed to Qinxin Palace, he saw Jing Lince kneeling outside the palace. He glanced at him indifferently and walked straight in.

The emperor called him to his side, asked his attendants to leave, and said hoarsely.

"He's still kneeling outside?"

Jing Ruzhang hummed.

"Hey, how was your investigation in Yuzhou?"

"Yuzhou Jiedushi Liu Zhong has indeed made unusual moves. He has secretly recruited soldiers and sent his legitimate daughter to my sixth brother's residence. His wolfish ambitions are obvious."

The emperor coughed again after hearing this. He was not a wise ruler. This was the conclusion he had drawn about himself in the past two days.

When Jing Hongyuan ascended the throne, the world was at peace, with clear seas and calm rivers.

He loved painting all his life and was often negligent in government affairs. As time went by, the imperial power was dispersed.

The civil officials in the court gradually formed three factions. Grand Tutor Song naturally supported the legitimate prince, Prime Minister Leng was neutral, and Censor Xu supported the Sixth Prince Xiao Lince and even promised his daughter to him as a concubine.

Xu was a concubine only because the daughter of the Minister of Revenue had married into the family earlier. If Jing Lince really ascended the throne in the future, the position of Empress would still belong to Xu.

The emperor was not unaware of the plans of these people, but he had let them go for so many years that the situation had long since gotten out of his control.

Finally, I felt a little guilty and felt sorry for my ancestors.

Therefore, he placed the heavy burden of revitalizing the Jing family's foundation on Jing Ruzhang.

Jing Hongyuan was silent, his mind full of thoughts. After a long time, he uttered a sentence in a whisper.

"Just leave him alive."

……

The Crown Princess accompanied the Queen to take care of her illness, but she was also frail and sickly. After two days, she fainted in front of the Queen. The Queen ordered a sedan chair to send her back to Changning Palace.

Shen Yueyao had some free time and didn't even have to go to Changning Palace to pay her respects.

The days in Liufengyuan were quiet and leisurely. She lay on the beauty cushion, enjoying her retirement life in the palace.

When she was bored, she found some calligraphy works by Wang Ming to copy, with the profound demeanor of a master, putting her utmost effort into each stroke.

However, her talent in this area was limited. She had worn out three of her best sable-hair brushes and had not made much progress.

But she developed a bit of obsession and started to argue with this word.

Jin'er just shook her head, not understanding why her master had such a deep hatred for the pen.

I advised her twice, saying that she was a master of calligraphy and it was fine as long as she looked good.

Shen Yueyao got angry whenever she thought of the disgusted look on Jing Ruzhang's face when he said her handwriting was ugly.

She snorted, then picked up her pen and continued to practice hard.

Qiuju walked in with a heavy heart. Jin'er didn't like her very much and remembered that Shen Yueyao had said not to embarrass her.

This time he didn't do anything, he just rolled his eyes at her.

Qiuju lowered her head and bowed slightly.

"I've met the master."

Shen Yueyao looked up and saw that her brows were twisted into knots and her face showed "important event", so she knew that she had something to say.

She put down her pen, glanced at Xia Ye and Dong Xue who were serving in the room, and spoke seriously.

"Let's all go back."

Xia Ye and Dong Xue lit the lamps and retreated respectfully.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Qiu Ju took out a mysterious object wrapped in a white silk scarf from her sleeve with a serious expression and placed it on the desk in front of Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao glanced at her, opened the handkerchief and saw a packet of medicine inside.

She took it and put it to her nose and smelled it. It had a faint astringent smell, a bit choking. She frowned and asked.

"what is this?"

"This is what Zhiyu gave me today. She told me to put a little in your food every day."

Before Shen Yueyao could be surprised, Jin'er broke through her defense first.

Cursing: "These black-hearted and rotten-hearted people want to harm us with poison. Master, we can't stand it. Let's find some poison, the most poisonous kind, to make them taste the feeling of having their intestines pierced and their stomachs rotted."

"..."

Shen Yueyao shook her head slightly, stared at the medicine in her hand for a moment, handed it to Jin'er, and said solemnly.

"Don't make this public. Go find a doctor with no connections and spend some money to find out what this medicine is."

Jin'er took it and saw that her master handled the matter in such an orderly manner. Then she realized that she had been impulsive just now.

She couldn't help but lower her head and nodded, "I understand."

Shen Yueyao looked at her for a while and gave her instructions again.

"Remember, don't let anyone find out."

Shen Yueyao felt somewhat strange about this matter.

She thought that she and Yang Li did not get along well, but she was neither favored nor had any direct conflict of interest with Yang Li.

Why did she want to harm herself?

Moreover, the Crown Princess had clearly warned that the Eastern Palace could not make any mistakes at this time.

Even if she didn't take the Crown Princess' words seriously, she should still consider the consequences.

What on earth forced Yang Li to lose her mind and make her want to kill her?

She pondered for a while, going over in her mind all the things that could be related to Yang Li in recent days.

When Xiao Cheng'an said in front of Yang Li that she was prettier than Yang Li, Yang Li looked murderous at that time.

But it was just a woman's vanity. Yang Li was spoiled, not stupid.

I would never kill anyone just because of a child's joke.

There must be another reason!

She decided to put aside the things she couldn't figure out.

She picked up the pen again and continued practicing calligraphy.

"Qiu Ju, remember, everything is normal, you can go now."

Seeing that she looked normal, Qiuju couldn't help but sigh that this master had great self-control. Even though others had poisoned her, she still had the mind to practice calligraphy.

His calmness and composure are beyond compare and it seems that he is going to accomplish great things.

Hmm... I used too much force and a few strands of the mink hair fell off.

After bathing, Shen Yueyao's long black hair fell softly around her waist. It was still early, as she used to be a night owl.

There was no entertainment to be found here, so I went to the pear wood bookshelf and flipped through a copy of "Zhuangzi".

Lie on the beauty's cushion and randomly open a page to read.

"To the north of the end of the world, there is a dark sea, which is the Tianchi. There is a fish there, which is thousands of miles wide, and no one knows its length. It is called Kun. There is a bird there, and its name is Peng. Its back is like Mount Tai, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It soars up to 90,000 miles with the help of the horns of sheep, and then it flies southward, and goes to the South Sea. ……"

She had read this "Xiao Yao You" in her textbook, but before she had the chance to have a deep exchange of ideas with Zhuangzi, she dreamed of butterflies.

At that time, she felt that she was sick because she would feel sleepy whenever she read. This problem has been with her ever since.

She lazily placed her white fingertips on her soft lips and yawned. As she was reading, she covered her face with the book and fell asleep.

While she was dazed, someone suddenly took the book away from her face, and the sudden light made her frown slightly.

"It's too bright. Turn off the two lights."

There was a hint of weariness and laziness in her voice that made people feel numb.

"You are at leisure."

A cold and mellow voice fell into my ears.
