Quick Wear: My love-brained childhood sweetheart always asks me for a kiss

The day before the flower-viewing banquet, Empress Dowager Li came uninvited.

The entire Regent Palace did not welcome her arrival. After all, everyone in the palace knew that she had cast a curse.

"Miss, you guessed right. The Queen Mother is here indeed."

Chi Tingwan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Then let her wait."

It was Peilan who went to receive the guests again. "Your servant greets the Queen Mother. May your Majesty be filled with joy."

Queen Mother Li couldn't help but sneer in her heart. What a Changle Wuji. If he really thought so, why did he leave her here?

"It's Peilan. She's become more and more beautiful. Why is Doukou gone? Is she being lazy again? Wanwan has always favored her, and this girl has become lawless and more and more like a master."

Peilan's eyes suddenly turned cold. This was a provocation. She only knew how to use these despicable means.

"The princess has not been feeling well these past few days. Last night was even worse. Doukou has been watching over her all night and just went to bed. I am only here to serve the Queen Mother a cup of tea. After all, the Queen Mother has very high requirements for tea, and I am afraid that others may not be able to figure out your preferences. After I am done, I will go back to watch over the princess. I will always be worried if I replace her with someone else."

"Wanwan is still not well? We should call the imperial physician to take a look."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The prince has already asked the imperial physician to see him. The imperial physician said that it is related to the poison that was given to him before, and he needs to rest for the time being." The implication is that he has no time to meet guests.

She was just a lowly maid, yet she dared to openly order the Queen Mother to expel her. Like master, like servant. They were all ungrateful and ungrateful.

"The more I hear this, the more upset I feel." Queen Mother Li pretended to wipe away tears, "It's all my fault. I didn't see the wolfish ambitions of Nanny Sun. It's all my fault that Wanwan has been hurt... No wonder Wanwan has been blaming me in her heart and has never come to the palace to pay her respects for so long."

"You are too kind, Queen Mother. How can the princess blame you? But the sequelae of the poison are indeed serious. The princess has not left the house these days. The private room in Changyin Pavilion was booked in vain." Peilan couldn't help but sigh, "After all, it's all the fault of Nanny Sun. In order to harm our princess, she even went to great lengths to lurk beside the Queen Mother..."

Peilan suddenly covered her lips in surprise, "Has the Empress Dowager sought medical advice? Don't be afraid that she has also been poisoned. Yes, why didn't I think of that? When Nanny Sun was with the Empress Dowager, our princess was not even born yet. So her purpose of getting close to the Empress Dowager is not simple. Could it be that she wanted to poison the late emperor?"

Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but frown. This was really going too far.

"Someone! Go and invite Doctor Wang!" Peilan said with a faint smile, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Doctor Wang was specially invited by the prince to come to the palace to look after our princess. This doctor, as his name suggests, specializes in developing poison. He knows all the most advanced ways to plant and remove poison. He is now the backbone of our palace!"

Empress Dowager Li's face changed instantly. If Song Shiyan really found such a person, wouldn't the poison in her hand be useless?

No. She has another card up her sleeve.

Since Song Shiyan cannot be controlled, then Chi Tingwan will be completely destroyed!

As long as she can see Chi Tingwan, everything will be solved.

Yes, the best thing to do now is to see her as soon as possible...

"I have had many imperial doctors examine me before, and I don't seem to be feeling unwell, so I don't think it's serious. I'd better go see Wanwan first."

"This..." Perrin hesitated.

"What? Is there something wrong?" Empress Dowager Li was a little unhappy. When she said she wanted to see someone, she showed this expression. It was obvious that she was pretending to be sick!

"Please forgive me for speaking frankly, Queen Dowager. It's not that I don't want you to go. It's just that the prince is too worried about our princess. Every time before going out, he will deploy secret guards in front of the princess's door. Except for me and Doukou, no one is allowed to approach, otherwise... they will be killed without mercy. Those secret guards only obey the prince's orders, so..."

"How dare you!" Queen Mother Li still couldn't hold back. Song Shiyan really treated his princess as a fragile treasure that outsiders were not allowed to touch or even see.

"Queen Dowager, please calm down. The prince loves his wife dearly. He didn't know you would come here suddenly today. Why don't you wait patiently? I believe the prince will return home soon."

"Isn't it a day off today? Where is the Regent?" Empress Dowager Li was still furious and her face was still tense.

"The princess hasn't had a good appetite in recent days. As you know, our princess has always loved the snacks at Linglong Pavilion. So after finishing his official duties, the prince went out to line up. It seems that he went out before noon, so it should be time to line up at this time. But it's hard to say, after all, Linglong Pavilion has the most people lining up in the morning."

Chenshi: Equivalent to 7 to 9 in the morning now.

Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but feel bitter. It was just a purchase of cakes, he could have ordered his men to make it, but he went to line up in person...

"Since the return date is uncertain, I'd better go and take a look first." Queen Mother Li stood up with a smile, "Let me see how much the Regent loves Wanwan." She didn't believe that those secret guards would really dare to attack her.

If she really died in the Regent's Palace, what would the people outside say about their Regent's Palace?

"Your Majesty, please wait a little longer..." Perrin looked embarrassed.

"No need to wait, I'll go right away." Empress Dowager Li went out, took Xi Yuan's hand, and walked towards the backyard in a menacing manner.

She had obtained the topographic map of the Regent's Palace a long time ago, so she knew very well where Chi Tingwan's courtyard was.

Perrin, who was following behind him, just wanted to laugh.

It seems that the Queen Mother is really angry this time and doesn't even want to pretend anymore.

It was my first time in the Prince Regent's Palace, and I didn't even need a servant to lead the way to the mistress's backyard. It was really obvious.

Empress Dowager Li and Xi Yuan were stopped just as they approached the courtyard. "Who are you?"

"How dare you! This is the Queen Mother!" Xi Yuan on the side couldn't help but scold loudly.

"It turns out to be the Queen Mother. Our prince has previously instructed that no one except Miss Doukou and Miss Peilan is allowed to enter. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!" The secret guard's voice was unquestionable firmness and hardness.

Empress Dowager Li looked a little cold, "What a great plan to kill without mercy. Are you going to kill me too?!"

Seeing that they were silent, Xi Yuan knew that they didn't dare to do it, so she stepped forward and said, "Get out of the way! If you dare to stop the Queen Mother, you will be blinded!" As she said that, she was about to rush in, and the leading secret guard drew his knife and slashed at her neck without hesitation.

Looking at Xi Yuan lying on the ground, Empress Dowager Li was stunned. Blood splattered all over her, and she felt her fingertips trembling.

Su Hua appeared at this moment, "This lowly maid is trying to murder the princess, why don't you take her out now!"

"Who dares!" Empress Dowager Li's eyes were sharp. "You are so bold that you dare to draw your knife in front of me. I want to see how the regent will explain to me when he returns!"

"Why is the Queen Mother so angry?" Su Shu walked out with a smile, "I am ignorant and want to be punished for my crimes. This has nothing to do with you. The prince has always been clear about right and wrong, and he will not blame the Queen Mother for the mistakes of a lowly servant. You don't have to take it to heart."

Queen Mother Li was so angry that she laughed, "What a rebellion. Xiyuan just couldn't stand these dogs being disrespectful to me, so she said a few more words. How can it be linked to the murder of the princess?"

Su Hua went straight forward to search him, and finally found a bag of something that looked like medicine powder, "Sure enough, he brought something unclean."

Su Shu went forward to check it out. "It's arsenic."

Empress Dowager Li's pupils suddenly shrank. How could Xi Yuan have taken arsenic without her knowledge? How was this possible?

No, that's not right.

Xi Yuan had been standing outside just now, and she seemed to hear a maid approaching her and talking to her in the hall. The arsenic might have been placed on her at that time.

This is a frame-up!

But this is the Prince Regent's Palace, and the things were really taken from Xi Yuan. In public, there is no way to deny it.

Queen Mother Li couldn't help but clench her fists. She knew in her heart that she would not be able to see Chi Tingwan today no matter what.

After Nanny Sun, she lost another confidant. And the crime was the murder of the Regent Princess.

If this matter gets out, people will definitely think that she was the one who ordered it.

Her reputation...can never be saved.

And all this is thanks to Chi Tingwan.

She knew that Chi Tingwan was not sick at all, and he was just doing this to avoid her.

This bitch betrayed her and the emperor, yet she lives so carefree.

In the room, Chi Tingwan was enjoying the pine nut milk puff pastry that had just been delivered from the kitchen. Doukou was standing at the door, listening to the noise outside.

After it became quiet outside, she ran back to Chi Tingwan with a smile, "Miss! Su Shu and Su Hua are indeed worthy of being trained by the prince. They are so imposing. They subdued the old witch in just a few words."

"However, from the noise just now, Xiyuan seemed to be dead. But she is not innocent either. She had previously admired the prince and was jealous of the young lady. She even poisoned the young lady. Fortunately, the young lady didn't drink the tea. When the prince heard that it was the head maid beside the queen who did it, he immediately stopped."

What Xiyuan had used before was arsenic.

That's why Doukou asked people in the mansion to put arsenic on Xiyuan.

but......

If she and Empress Dowager Li could wait quietly in the front hall or just leave, the arsenic incident would not have been exposed.

After all, they still have the intention to harm others.

The more Doukou thought about it, the angrier she got. "The Queen Mother must have had bad intentions in coming here today. Didn't the Prince say that he found out that there was another person raising Gu around the Queen Mother? She failed to get an invitation to the flower viewing banquet, but she came here in person. It's obvious that she wants to poison Miss again. She might want to use you to contain the Prince. She has a good plan. It's a pity that we have seen through her conspiracy a long time ago."

Song Shiyan came back soon. Looking at the cakes in his hand, Queen Mother Li couldn't help but laugh, "The Prince Regent really loves his wife first. He went out early in the morning to buy cakes for his princess."

"Isn't it a husband's duty to buy his wife her favorite cakes? It's just part of his job, how can it be so difficult?"

"Although it is our duty, how many people can do it now? Wanwan is really lucky..."

"It is my fortune to marry a virtuous and intelligent woman like the princess. Since I have the honor of marrying you, I must treat you with care." Song Shiyan gave the cake to Peilan, "I wonder why the queen mother came here today."

"I heard that Wanwan is ill, and her condition is serious. I and the Emperor are both very concerned about her."

"Thank you Queen Mother and the Emperor for your concern. But the princess has not slept well recently and is not in good spirits. I have specially ordered her not to see any visitors. The Queen Mother also knows the princess's temper. She has always pursued perfection and would never show her illness to outsiders. I know that the Queen Mother has always been considerate of the princess. I will convey her intention of coming here today."

After saying this, Song Shiyan asked the butler to see the guest off.

"Wait." Empress Dowager Li hurriedly stopped him, "I should take Xiyuan's body back with me."

Su Shu and Su Hua then stepped forward and told them what had just happened.

"She attempted to murder the princess, and deserves to be executed by lingchi. Killing her with one knife would be a good thing for her." Song Shiyan glanced at Queen Mother Li expressionlessly, "Since the incident happened in the Regent's Palace, there is no need for you to worry about it. We will take care of the body."

"The King Regent won't even give me this little face, right?" The smile on Empress Dowager Li's face disappeared completely.

"My princess has been repeatedly schemed against by the Queen Mother's entourage. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's usual kindness to my princess, I would have suspected that the mastermind behind this was the Queen Mother."

Xi Yuan's body was carried out. "What a pity, she died like this. If I were here, I would have sentenced her to death by combing her body."

Combing: An extremely cruel punishment in ancient times. It means that the executioner stripped the prisoner's clothes, put him naked on an iron bed, poured boiling water on his body several times, and then used an iron brush to brush off the flesh of the prisoner. It is just like killing a pig with boiling water and then removing the hair, until the flesh is brushed off and the bones are exposed. The prisoner would die before the end. This punishment is similar to Lingchi.

Queen Mother Li looked horrified. She knew that Song Shiyan was not joking and he could really do it.

He did smile more after his wedding, but no one dared to act rashly in front of him. His cruel methods were well-known in the capital. Many people died tragically at his hands. He ordered people to be killed more casually than killing pigs.

All kinds of inhumane ways of dying came from his mouth, yet he always downplayed them.

"Prince Regent. I know you love Wanwan, and so do I. But Xiyuan is a member of my palace, so even if she needs to be punished, it should be done by me myself."

"Then the Queen Mother might as well punish him now. I have a lot of people here, and I can definitely meet the Queen Mother's needs."

Empress Dowager Li's face froze. Although she said so, Xiyuan had been with her for so many years, how could she not care about her dignity after her death?

She just wanted to bring the person back to the palace first. After the burial, Song Shiyan couldn't go dig up the grave and throw the body away, right?

But he actually seized on the opportunity and asked her to "dispose of" the body directly at the Regent's Palace.
