Minister Shen pondered for a moment, and then he suddenly realized: "Did the spies report today that the evil creature had entered the palace? Perhaps it was because of this matter?"

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Then you have to be more careful. Maybe the emperor will summon that evil creature..." Mrs. Shen didn't dare to think about what would happen next.

Who could have thought that the evil creature would be living so well recently?

When she was in the mansion before, she couldn't do anything and was clearly a fool and crazy person.

How come everything got better after she married Chu Yan? This is so weird!

"I know, you don't have to worry. I will think of a way to deal with it along the way."

"Send someone to keep an eye on that evildoer."

"Since we can see the emperor this time when entering the palace, that evil creature will definitely take the opportunity to say bad things about us. Humph!" A hint of viciousness flashed in Minister Shen's eyes.

Madam Shen clutched the handkerchief in her hand, her expression turning into a resentful one: "If that's the case, then that evil creature deserves to die!"

"Okay, I'll go first and talk to you when I come back." Minister Shen patted his wife's hand.

The people in the palace were waiting outside, so he certainly couldn't delay too long.

Minister Shen also holds a very high rank in the court, otherwise the eldest prince and his men would not have tried to win over his family!

About half an hour later, Minister Shen followed Duofu to the imperial study.

Along the way, I planned to tentatively ask Duofu why the emperor suddenly summoned him?

Duofu smiled and said that he didn't know either, it might be related to Shen Yindi, and the emperor summoned her today.

He didn't explain it too clearly. They were all tactful people, so Minister Shen would definitely not ask any further questions.

I will thank him too.

Minister Shen took a deep breath and entered the imperial study with a feeling of uneasiness.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage!" He bowed respectfully first.

"Shen Aiqing, please stand up."

"Do you know why I summoned you into the palace?" The Emperor of Chu looked at him and asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. Please let me know."

"Today, your daughter came to the palace to cook for the eldest princess. I summoned her and was shocked to see the scar on her face."

"Shen Aiqing, please explain to me why her face became like that?"

"You have two daughters. I have seen Miss Shen San. She is very good-looking. Why is there such a big difference between the two sisters?"

"But you chose her to marry Yan'er?"

As soon as the King of Chu came up, he asked three questions in a row, and Minister Shen felt very nervous.

He took a deep breath and adjusted himself.

"Your Majesty, I chose her because of her talent and courage. I think she should be able to take good care of the Third Prince." Minister Shen spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

"I know that Adi must have resentment towards me, or even hate me. It was because I didn't care enough about her that she fell into a pile of thorns when she was naughty as a child, resulting in the injury on her face."

"I'm sure she must have said a lot of bad things about me when she met the emperor today. I don't blame her."

There was obvious guilt in Minister Shen's tone.

The King of Chu stared at him for a while, but Minister Shen remained calm on the surface.

In fact, he was already very panicked. After all, what he said just now was just nonsense, which he came up with on the way.

"She has never complained to me about you, my dear." In fact, she didn't say anything about him at all.

Minister Shen breathed a sigh of relief silently.

But he still couldn't relax.

"Adi has been a very sensible child since she was young. In fact, I would rather she complained about me more. It is true that I did not do well."

Minister Shen sighed.

Emperor Chu nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, only people in their mansion knew what happened to Shen Yindi.

After a moment's silence, Minister Shen said again, blaming himself: "Because her face was injured, she has suffered from hysteria for several years since then. The lady-in-waiting said that she also suffers from amnesia, and sometimes she forgets everything she said."

"It was only in the last two years that she recovered. I confirmed that she was well before I allowed her to marry His Majesty the Third Prince."

"I know that her appearance is not worthy of the Third Prince. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Minister Shen knelt down again. His words were touching and moving.

The King of Chu was not sure how much of what he said was true.

But there was one thing he was sure of, she was also very courageous.

If we ignore her appearance, then her ability is no problem for her to match Yan'er.

Today he seemed to see in her the courage that Yan'er had in the past.

The emperor remained silent, and Minister Shen was worried and anxious.

After a while, the King of Chu finally found his voice. He asked in a low voice, "Have you prepared a dowry for her?"

Minister Shen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Cold sweat broke out on his back. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Majesty, because time is too short, I have only prepared 5,000 taels of silver. I will prepare some more dowry and send it over later."

"She is also my daughter. Now that she is married, I will naturally not neglect her."

"I and my family have been ill during this period, and we haven't had time to deal with many important matters. We have only felt a little better in the past two days." Minister Shen said with a pained look.

The emperor's expression looked slightly better.

"Just follow standard etiquette and don't be too high-profile. After all, Yan'er is still a criminal." The emperor advised.

"Wei Chen understands."

"Miss Shen Si is a good child, and she also has medical skills. Why didn't you tell me earlier, my dear?"

The obvious praise in the emperor's words made Minister Shen very depressed!

"Your Majesty, A-Di was not in good condition before. Her hysteria was sometimes better and sometimes worse. I dare not say more. I even dare not let her go out, for fear that she would run around and be kidnapped. Her mother is so worried about this."

"I think she is doing well now." Emperor Chu affirmed again.

"I am also very pleased. I just hope that those hysterics will not occur again in the future!"

"Okay, you can go back. Complete her dowry as soon as possible. Don't treat her unfairly." The King of Chu waved his hand.

"I obey your order. When I get there, I will order her mother to do it."

Afterwards, he came out of the imperial study and felt his legs go weak.

Just thinking about the fact that he was about to lose a huge fortune, Minister Shen felt uncomfortable all over.

My heart aches, my flesh aches, everything hurts.

Shen Yindi didn't know that he would soon receive another unexpected fortune.

After returning from the palace, she talked to Chu Yan, had her meal, and then took a nap.

She didn't even take off the makeup on her face and just lay down on the soft bench to sleep.

In the days since Chu Yan had surgery, she had been sleeping on the couch most of the time, mainly because she was afraid that her sleeping posture would not be good and it would be bad if she touched his legs.

Looking from Chu Yan's direction, he could see her sleeping soundly.

Originally, Shen Yindi asked him to take a nap, but Chu Yan was not sleepy at all at this time.

His mood was a little complicated.

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked.

Uncle Fu walked in excitedly. Seeing Shen Yindi sleeping, he lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his excitement: "Your Majesty! Good news!"
