A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 325 Entering the Palace to Meet the Queen

Shen Qingqian spent these few days in Ping'an Town in a busy manner, but she felt at ease and at peace every day.

But no matter how good this place is, I can't stay here forever. I have to go back to the capital eventually.

After settling down those who needed to be settled and giving explanations that needed to be given, Shen Qingqian left with Yingzi and the others.

After returning to the capital, Shen Qingqian felt much calmer. She specifically asked about what happened in the capital in the past few days, wanting to know if there was any news about her and Zhao Yichen breaking off their engagement.

No! It seems that Zhao Yichen did not go to the emperor to cancel their engagement.

Since Zhao Yichen didn't go, then she would be the one to do this!

But marriage is no joke, and she and Zhao Yichen were married by the emperor's arrangement, so it might not be easy to cancel the engagement!

Shen Qingqian thought about it, but couldn't find a suitable reason to cancel the engagement. She couldn't say that Mu Xinyue came and caused a conflict between her and Zhao Yichen!

In other words, she just realized that Zhao Yichen was not the partner she wanted and she regretted getting engaged to him.

Obviously, in this era, this kind of reason would only make everyone think that there was something wrong with her. She might even be accused of being jealous and intolerant.

Since there was no legitimate reason, Shen Qingqian planned to do something behind the scenes. In short, she had to cancel this marriage!

The next morning, Shen Qingqian went to see the queen again. The queen had already returned from Xiangguo Temple and was in her own palace, and she summoned her quickly.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen. May Your Majesty be well and at peace."

Shen Qingqian followed the palace maids into Qingning Palace and paid her respects to the queen first.

"Get up!"

The Queen spoke, a hint of fatigue evident in her voice.

"Thank you, empress."

Shen Qingqian stood up and realized that the queen looked very bad. She was completely different from the energetic one she had seen last time. It seemed that the queen was exhausted by the prince's affairs.

"My lady, how is the prince doing?"

Shen Qingqian asked straight to the point.

Ever since the prince got into trouble, there have been many people coming to ask after him. Of course, some people are sincere and show their concern, while others are hypocritical, showing concern on the surface but secretly gloating over his misfortune.

The queen also gave different explanations depending on the person.

Facing Shen Qingqian at this moment, she did not intend to hide anything and told the truth: "I still haven't found a way to detoxify."

Shen Qingqian asked, "Didn't they say they had sent people to look for famous doctors among the people? Did they fail to find one?"

The Queen sighed and said, “Two folk doctors who claimed to be proficient in poisons came. One of them said that the poison the prince was poisoned with was rare and extremely toxic, and he was powerless, so he gave up and left.

The other said that they could try to make an antidote, but it would require an extremely rare herb that was not available in the palace. The emperor has already sent people to look for it, but the hope is slim. The key is whether it can be found in such a short time."

"Oh, what kind of medicine is it?"

Shen Qingqian asked.

The Queen did not hide it from her and said, "It must be at least a hundred years old."

"Blood Ganoderma?"

It turned out to be Blood Ganoderma! Shen Qingqian thought, it seems that this time, she doesn't need her blood to solve the problem!

Before coming here, she was still wondering whether her blood would be effective against the prince's poison; even if it was effective, how could she get the prince to drink her blood without exposing her secret?

Unexpectedly, the outcome was much simpler than expected.

In the cave where she fell before, besides the two fruits she had eaten, there was also a blood ganoderma. However, there was a super big snake guarding it, so she couldn't pick it.

With that big snake guarding the cave, the blood Ganoderma should still be there!

Besides, the cave is in such a hidden place that ordinary people can’t find it. It must still be there!

Shen Qingqian stood up and bowed respectfully to the queen before she said, "Queen, Qingqian is willing to find the blood ganoderma for the prince, and I promise that I will find it within five days."

The Queen was surprised, but also a little delighted. She asked anxiously, "Qing Qian, are you serious? Can you really find the blood ganoderma?"

"Yes, Madam, this matter concerns the life of the Crown Prince, how dare Qing Qian speak nonsense?

only……"

Shen Qingqian spoke in a firm tone when talking about the search for blood Ganoderma lucidum, but then seemed to hesitate to speak.

The Queen looked at her puzzledly and asked, "Qing Qian, do you have any concerns? Just tell me if you have any difficulties. As long as you can find the blood ganoderma, just ask for any reward you want!"

Shen Qingqian was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. However, Qingqian does not need any reward. I just need Your Majesty to agree to one of Qingqian's requests."

The Queen frowned slightly, wondering if Shen Qingqian was going to make some excessive demands?

But now the prince's affairs are more important than anything else, no matter what Shen Qingqian asks, she will agree to it first. But her good impression of Shen Qingqian has been reduced a little. If Shen Qingqian really makes any excessive demands, it would be taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

"Oh, what's your request? Tell me."

The queen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Shen Qingqian raised her head, looked at the queen, and said in a firm tone: "Please ask the queen to help me cancel the marriage with the prince of Chen."

When the queen heard this, she almost choked on the tea she had just drunk!

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"I want to break off the engagement with King Chen. Please help me, Queen."

Shen Qingqian's request really took the Queen by surprise. She looked at Shen Qingqian in confusion and asked, "Qingqian, why is this? Aren't you and Prince Chen in love with each other? Why do you want to cancel the engagement?"

Shen Qingqian said: "Your Majesty, Qingqian and King Chen did have feelings for each other before, but recently, during this period of time with King Chen, many frictions have occurred. Therefore, I feel that King Chen and I are not a good match, and I want to cancel the engagement as soon as possible to stop the loss in time.

Please promise me, Your Majesty, that I will find the blood ganoderma as soon as possible and present it to you."

The Queen asked, "What does Yi Chen think? Does he also agree to cancel the engagement?"

Shen Qingqian said: "I have talked to him before, and he agreed. Please agree to my request, Your Majesty."

The Queen simply said, "Qing Qian, you want to use the blood ganoderma as a condition for breaking off the engagement with me, right? Do you really want to break off the engagement?"

"Yes!"

Shen Qingqian admitted generously, and said: "The marriage between me and Prince Chen was granted by the Emperor. The Emperor is serious about his words, and he will not easily take back his order. So I can only use this method and ask Your Majesty to help. Please forgive me."

The Queen really couldn't guess what Shen Qingqian was thinking. She didn't know why she had to cancel the engagement when she was fine!

However, for the sake of the prince and the blood ganoderma, she could not care less. To her, this was not an excessive request.

"Okay, then I will ask Yi Chen first. As long as he agrees, I will personally tell the emperor about this matter."

"Thank you very much, Madam!"

Shen Qingqian didn’t know what Zhao Yichen’s attitude was now, but she would find a way to make Zhao Yichen agree. She was determined to cancel the marriage!
