The reason why Li Wenxuan was so anxious when he heard the news was not because he had deep feelings for Shen Wanqing, but because at this moment he thought that only by proving that Shen Wanqing was innocent could he show that he had never been biased.
He just wanted to find out the truth of the matter so that he could better refute the Sun family's actions.
In the Buddhist Hall in the Queen Mother's Palace
Shen Wanqing felt like she was going to die. Her knees were in so much pain that she had lost feeling in them. The most important thing was that she hadn't had a single sip of water since she came in.
But now she couldn't see clearly at all. The incense in the Buddhist temple made her head feel heavy and swollen. Shen Wanqing wanted to speak, but she couldn't even breathe.
Then she felt darkness before her eyes and lost consciousness.
Shen Wanqing fell to the ground with a plop. The maids on both sides looked at each other and saw the frown in each other's eyes.
A maid tentatively squatted beside her, looked at her for a few times, and then said, "She fainted."
"You stay here and I will report to the Queen Mother."
"Row."
-------------------------------------
"Help!" Shen Wanqing screamed, waking up with a startled look, clutching the quilt tightly with her hands.
Before she could see the scene clearly, she saw a strange maid appear in front of her.
"Concubine Shen, you're awake."
Shen Wan was completely stunned. Her breathing became uncontrollably rapid and sweat broke out on her forehead.
"This is... over there. Where is His Highness!"
Shen Wanqing seemed to come back to her senses from the edge of losing control. She suddenly grabbed the maid's hand and asked loudly and excitedly.
The maid was in pain from her grasp, but she dared not say anything and replied in a low voice: "Concubine Shen, His Highness is accompanying the Queen Mother in the front hall."
The words "Empress Dowager" weighed on Shen Wanqing like a spell, causing her body to tremble and her hands to drop automatically.
Yes, Queen Mother!
Now she is still in the Queen Mother's Palace. Shen Wanqing trembled and said with restrained emotion: "I want to see the Third Prince."
"The Queen Mother has ordered me to take you to see the Third Prince as soon as you wake up."
Shen Wanqing's beautiful eyes immediately widened, she bit her bloodless lips, and immediately said, "Take me there quickly."
Now she just wanted to leave this place. Although she could see clearly that the place before her was no longer the suffocating Buddhist temple, and there were no two old maids who were as heavy as wood, she felt like a stone was pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
On the other side, the Queen Mother looked at Li Wenxuan with a smile. The atmosphere between the two was quite good. There was neither questioning nor the warm feeling between common descendants.
Even though the people were brought by Li Wenxuan, which meant that the matter had nothing to do with Shen Wanqing, the Queen Mother did not have any problem with her taking Shen Wanqing away and locking her up in the Buddhist temple.
Moreover, Li Wenxuan had to pay his respects to the empress dowager respectfully, explain the reason, and then, after bringing up the new witness, he only said a few words to thank the empress dowager for the teachings she had given to the concubines around him.
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Li Wenxuan's performance. She sighed and said to this grandson who looked like Consort Xian, "Your princess is your first wife, who was married to you in a formal ceremony. She comes from a very good family. You can't treat her badly. You understand."
Li Wenxuan's eyes flashed, and he knelt down after seeing the empress dowager's intriguing eyes.
"My grandson understands and will keep it in mind."
The Queen Mother stared at him for a moment, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "I believe that you are a sensible child, and you will definitely do the smartest thing like your father did."
"Yes."
"Okay, I'm tired too. You can take the person back later."
Li Wenxuan's eyes looked complicated for a second when he lowered them, and he bowed and replied, "Yes."
…………
Shen Wanqing had never seen the empress dowager from beginning to end, and she was so frightened that she dared not speak at all. The palace maid sent her to Li Wenxuan's carriage and left.
She looked at the strange carriage, her eyes fixed on the curtain, fearing that another accident might happen.
It was not until a slender hand lifted the curtain and Shen Wanqing saw Li Wenxuan that she relaxed.
She immediately threw herself on Li Wenxuan and started crying, as if she had suffered some great pain, and her tears fell like a curtain of water.
Li Wenxuan had been warned by the Queen Mother, and he had some ideas in his mind, but he was also very annoyed.
I just wanted to scold her.
Shen Wanqing, who was born with picturesque features, looked like a piece of jade that was about to break, fragile and beautiful. The tears on her eyelashes made her even more beautiful.
Li Wenxuan's heart was shaken again, and he patted her on the back to comfort her.
"Your Highness, you have no idea how much suffering I have endured." Shen Wanqing said aggrievedly.
She was already feeling aggrieved, and she felt that Li Wenxuan really loved her, which was why he brought her back from the Empress Dowager's palace. She began to speak without restraint.
Li Wenxuan's face darkened and sank. He looked down at her and pushed her away from his arms.
"It is your blessing that the Queen Mother disciplines you. How can you bear such injustice?"
Shen Wanqing widened her eyes in disbelief, as if she had heard something ridiculous.
If her knees hadn't been hurting so badly, she would have thought that the Queen Mother was really disciplining her according to what he said.
"Your Highness..."
"Shut up." Li Wenxuan's face turned cold and he scolded.
Shen Wanqing bit her almost bloodless lips, and tears flowed down her snow-white and jade-like face again, but this time she didn't dare to cry out loud.
When she looked up at Li Wenxuan, he had already closed his eyes, with a gloomy expression and no longer looked at her.
After returning to the palace, Li Wenxuan no longer cared about Shen Wanqing, but asked him to stay in her yard quietly. From today on, he was not allowed to go anywhere without his order.
Shen Wanqing, who was already holding her breath, couldn't catch her breath even more after hearing his words and fainted again.
Her personal maid hurriedly helped the person back and went to call for a doctor.
Only Li Niang, who was hiding in the dark, looked at this scene with a faint smile on her lips. Beneath the wild desire in her eyes was a madness waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Li Wenxuan went to Sun Shuhao's yard.
He explained that this matter had little to do with Shen Wanqing, and it had been verified by the Empress Dowager.
The matter was simple. The one who caused her premature birth was a lowly maid in Shen Wanqing's yard. She had tried to climb onto Li Wenxuan's bed, but was discovered by Shen Wanqing. She was beaten with a few boards and then punished to kneel in the backyard.
She was asked to do the most tiring and dirty work in the backyard. However, one day she fell ill and did not have time to sweep the fallen leaves in the backyard. Sun Shuhao, who was in a bad mood, saw her and wanted to sell her out.
As a result, she came to hate both of them.
This is why this incident happened, and the blame was shifted to Shen Wanqing.
"Don't worry, your sister's daughter will have a worry-free life in the future."
The maid behind Li Niang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, little lady Li."
"After a few days, I will find a reason to send you out."
