Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chu Qianyu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Your father just came back from court and said that the Empress Dowager's bedroom caught fire last night and people were..." Yunying stopped talking for fear of scaring her.

"The Queen Mother passed away?" Chu Qianyu pretended to be surprised.

"Well, now that the Queen Mother has passed away unexpectedly, and your wedding is still three days away, it's really an unfortunate date. I'm afraid your wedding can't be a grand one."

Yunying also sighed: "Hey! How come the Queen Mother's bedroom caught fire?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and said to the maids and servants in the hall: "You all go down first. There is no need to serve here."

After everyone left and only the three of them were left, Yunying whispered, "It's actually a good thing that the Queen Mother is gone. The disturbance two days ago was about the Queen Mother not wanting the Prince Regent to marry our Qianqian. She even sent assassins to kill Qianqian. But luckily they picked the wrong person. That's how Qianqian escaped. To be honest, I think she deserved to die. Qianqian should be safer in the future."

Chu Jun moved his chair slightly, getting closer to Yunying, and whispered, "You're right. The Queen's current situation is no different from being deposed, and the Queen Mother was accidentally burned to death. Although this wedding may not be a big deal, Qianqian is safe after all."

Chu Qianyu smiled and looked at her parents and said, "Father, Mother, you can rest assured now."

Today, the news of the Queen Mother's death was circulating everywhere on the streets.

Ye Qingyan was sitting in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse at this time, gathering with several daughters of wealthy families.

Yesterday, when she learned that someone wanted to kill Chu Qianyu, she was shocked. If she died, she would be in danger. She said that she would send someone to give her the antidote on the wedding night, but she didn't know if it was true.

These days she secretly sought out a doctor to see what kind of poison she had been poisoned by, but after a round of examinations, none of the quack doctors could tell what had happened.

Later, I learned that Doctor Yue might be able to do it, and then I happened to find out that Chu Qianyu was actually Doctor Yue's apprentice.

She was furious when she heard the news. She had originally wanted to stop them from getting married, but now it seemed that this plan would have to be postponed.

Let’s get the antidote first.

Just as I was thinking deeply, someone took a picture of me.

Ye Qingyan looked at the person who took the photo of her with some displeasure. It was Li Qingle, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She looked at her with a distressed expression and asked, "Miss Ye, what are you thinking about?"

After that, she sighed and continued, "In two days, you and the Regent were to get married, but now the person has changed. The Queen Mother also passed away suddenly. Now I think Miss Chu might be a jinx. So many things happened before her wedding."

Zhao Yanran seemed to remember something, his eyes rolled around, and then he leaned slightly, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and whispered: "I heard from the servants this morning that the Regent seemed to have been thrown at the door by a strange woman this morning. I don't know what happened."

Ye Qingyan immediately perked up when she heard this, and asked worriedly, "A strange woman? Throwing the Regent at the door? What happened to the Regent?"

"I heard that she was knocked unconscious, and was later carried back to the palace by the gate servants. As for the strange woman, no one knows her origins."

Zhao Wenyan felt a little gloating when she heard this: "They will get married in three days. If the Regent is not feeling well and can't get married, it will be a joke."

"Yes, and now that the Queen Mother has passed away, there will certainly not be a grand wedding. Tsk tsk tsk. Chu Qianyu is really a disaster. I heard that Chu Xiaorou's head was chopped off and placed in the Queen Mother's bedroom because of her. The Queen Mother might have been scared to death a long time ago, and the fire might just be an attempt to cover up the truth." Ling Yanran responded.

"Yes, yes. I heard that Chu Qianyu and her mother entered the palace two days ago. I heard that the queen poisoned her. Now the queen is under house arrest in the palace. I don't know whether Chu Qianyu's poison has been cured. Maybe she is sick and lying in bed now." Li Qingle said.

Several people were chatting with each other, and it was quite lively.

But Ye Qingyan's mind was no longer here at the moment. She stood up and said to them, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Let's get together again another day." After that, she walked out.

After Ye Qingyan left the teahouse, she said to the maid beside her, "Go and give a letter to Princess Huaining of the Regent's Palace. Tell her that I haven't seen her for a long time. See if she has time."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Mo Qingzi was in the old princess' room at the moment. The two of them had just returned from Mo Yinan's place.

"Mother, what do you think happened to my brother? He just closed the door and refused to see me when we went over. He didn't say anything when we asked him. What has upset him?"

The old princess sighed, her face full of sorrow, and she said with drooping eyes, "Who knows what's going on. He was gone all day yesterday, and now he's like this again, right when the wedding day is almost here. Oh!"

"Why don't we go check it out later? This won't do."

"Well, this is the only way. And now the Queen Mother has passed away suddenly, and she is your aunt. Logically, Nan'er's marriage should be postponed. But it has been decided a long time ago. He is not young anymore. We can only do it simply. This is a bit unfair to Miss Chu."

Mo Qingzi's eyes lit up when she said this, and she said curiously, "My daughter was recuperating at the farm outside a few days ago, and she hasn't met her future sister-in-law yet. Now I'm a little curious. The woman that my brother is so anxious to marry must be very good."

The old princess thought of Chu Qianyu, and a slight smile appeared on her face. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "She is indeed a good one. I was also very satisfied when I met her."

"Now that mother has said this, I want to meet my future sister-in-law even more soon."

"It's almost there. It's only a few days away."

As the two were chatting, the nanny outside came in and said, "Madam, Miss. The lady from Duke Mu's mansion has handed a letter to our lady." After she said that, she handed the letter over.

Mo Qingzi frowned and took the invitation. After reading it, she said to the old princess, "This Miss Ye had some friendship with my daughter before. But I heard that the Queen Mother gave her to my brother before. Besides, given the current situation, I'd better refuse it."

The old princess thought for a moment and said, "Refuse it. But don't be too direct. This woman is very cunning. It would be bad if she gets angry and takes it out on Miss Chu. And we all have to go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother tomorrow, so let's meet again tomorrow when we are free."

"Okay, then do as mother says."

Mo Qingzi agreed and said to the nanny, "Please help me get back, nanny."

"Yes, I'll go right away." After agreeing, Nanny Wang walked out.

After Ye Qingyan's maid delivered the note, she stood in front of the door waiting for news.

Finally, Nanny Wang came out and asked with a happy face, "Miss, are you ready for the appointment?"

Nanny Wang smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. Our young lady just came back from the farm outside today. She was exhausted from the journey and hasn't had a good rest yet. But our young lady said that Miss Ye will definitely go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother tomorrow. If you have time tomorrow, we can have a small gathering. Please go back and report to your young lady."

"Oh, in that case. Then thank you, Madam. I will go back and tell our young lady." The maid looked visibly disappointed after hearing this.

Nanny Wang didn't care and went straight into the mansion after delivering the message.
