Xinyue first looked at Shi Nanxi, and seeing that she was indeed as timid and cowardly as the rumors said, she turned her gaze to Shi Rongyue who opened the door.

"Who is this person..." He had some guesses in his mind.

Shi Rongyue put down her hand that opened the door.

Smile confidently:

"I am the eldest princess of the Shi family."

It turned out that this was the designated Crown Princess. She was indeed much more decent and generous than the second princess Shi next to her. This thought flashed through Xinyue's mind subconsciously.

A smile immediately appeared on his face:

"It turned out to be Grand Princess Shi. I was wondering why I was suddenly so impressed. Seeing is believing. Grand Princess is truly dignified and generous."

Shi Rongyue was praised and smiled even more, but she was more concerned about Concubine Ping summoning Shi Nanxi, so she said:

"Miss Xinyue, you are too kind..." She changed the subject and said, "You just said that Concubine Ping summoned my second sister?"

She looked at Shi Nanxi, and Xinyue also looked over. Shi Nanxi remained silent while the two were talking, acting like a transparent person.

Feeling the gazes of the two people at this moment, he raised his head slightly, revealing a helpless and nervous face.

"You heard right, Grand Princess Shi. It was the Queen who summoned you. The Queen heard that Grand Princess Shi is well-behaved and quiet, and our Queen is just like that when she is at home. That's why she wants to summon her to see you."

Xinyue withdrew her gaze. How could such a petty person compare with the noble empress? She would suffer later.

So that's how it is. Shi Rongyue didn't care about the reason, she only cared that she didn't hear it wrong.

He was immediately overjoyed. This was something that came without any effort. He was just worrying about how to enter Changchun Palace and then he met the prince right at his doorstep. It was really what he wanted.

Just thinking about the fact that Shi Nanxi had the intention to go back on her word in the room just now, and worried that the other party might not be able to fulfill her promise given her temper, she said:

"That's really fate, but my second sister has been sick since she was young and has been recuperating on the farm. She is a bit introverted and timid, and I really don't feel at ease with her..."

Hearing this, Xinyue frowned slightly. Could it be that Princess Shi was going to refuse the Empress' summons on behalf of her sister?

Before she could ask, she heard Shi Rongyue change the subject and say:

"But the Empress Ping is so noble. It is a great honor to be summoned by the Empress. I must not miss it. But can I accompany my second sister? This will also give her courage?"

Xinyue raised her brows at first but then frowned again the next moment. She didn't expect that this eldest princess Shi would actually go with the second princess Shi.

She couldn't help but take a serious look at Shi Nanxi. Seeing that she still looked timid and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn, she subconsciously hesitated.

It looks like he's going to scare himself to death before he even reaches Changchun Palace?

However, Shi Nanxi, who seemed nervous and at a loss at this moment, raised her inner alarm to the highest level. It was not just Concubine Ping, but more importantly, something was wrong with Shi Rongyue.

It was not surprising that Concubine Ping was able to find her. There were many secrets in the palace, but there were no secrets. If she dared to do anything, she had to be mentally prepared to be discovered by the other party.

Basically it's about making things difficult for her and humiliating her, but what does temporary hardship matter, and what does face matter? As long as the plan succeeds, everything will be worth it.

But Shi Rongyue is different.

She is obsessed with wanting her to marry the Crown Prince instead and marry the Fourth Prince herself. She is selfish and would not be so kind as to want to accompany her to Changchun Palace. She must have other purposes, which makes it even harder to guard against.

But before she could think carefully, Shi Rongyue spoke again:

"Miss Xinyue, I wonder if you could be flexible."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and stuffed a purse into the other person's pocket.

Xinyue held the purse in her hand and squeezed it subconsciously. Seeing that it was very light, it was most likely a banknote. However, she had seen all kinds of good things around the Empress, and a banknote could not buy her off.

She was about to refuse, but then she suddenly thought of something and calmly put her purse into her sleeve, a smile on her face:

"Princess Shi really cares about her sister. If that's the case, I can't let her down. Let's go together!"

It was the other party who insisted on going with her. As a close aide to the Empress, how could he not know that the Empress was not as close to the Prince as outsiders thought.

This designated Crown Princess might be even happier if she tells the Empress.

Shi Rongyue was overjoyed, knowing that these bondservants could not refuse the money, so he quickly stepped forward and held Shi Nanxi's hand, saying:

"Why don't you thank Miss Xinyue quickly?"

Shi Nanxi knew that with her original personality, she should be grateful that her elder sister was with her at this moment, so she followed her words and looked relieved.

"Nanxi thanks Miss Xinyue..."

As she spoke, she bit her lip lightly and said cautiously:

"My medicine has gone cold, can you please let me drink it before I leave?"

Since there are two plots waiting ahead, she has to be careful and prepared. She is weak and everyone knows it.

If the situation is not right, she will pretend to be sick, but there is no one in the Imperial Hospital, so if something goes wrong, it is better to drink the bowl of tampered medicine.

This is a good opportunity to find out whether the medicine is really just making her illness unable to be cured.

Moreover, she didn't believe that the suspicious Kangxi would not send someone to monitor her.

By then she will definitely know that Concubine Ping is making things difficult for her.

Xinyue was in a good mood when she thought that she was about to make a great contribution for the queen. She even liked Shi Nanxi more and agreed in a friendly manner.

Afterwards, Xinyue and Shi Rongyue waited at the door. Shi Nanxi walked into the room, and without any hesitation, he went straight to the table where the medicine was placed and started drinking.

Hongying, who was standing by, was almost getting anxious when she saw this scene. She didn't understand why the Second Princess drank the medicine before leaving even though she knew there was something wrong with it.

After Shi Nanxi finished drinking, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Seeing Hongying's expression, she shook her head secretly at her.

Seeing this, Hongying had to suppress her worry and helped Shi Nanxi out.

After the group of people left, Li Jiamingxiu came out from the corner, looked at their backs as they left, and the handkerchief in his hand was torn out of shape.

Finally, he thought of something and turned back to the house.

At the same time, Changchun Palace.

"My queen, Xinyue has gone to invite that Second Princess Shi. I think she will be back soon. Please have a cup of tea to calm down first."

Xinlian carefully offered a cup of hot tea, but Concubine Ping swept the teacup away and said with gritted teeth:

"That little bitch is really unlucky. If she hadn't delayed the emperor that day, my brother would have been released from Shuntian Prefecture Prison long ago. Why is he being tortured in prison now, with his legs broken? My side mother is almost crying her eyes out in the mansion."

Xinlian shrank her hand and was scalded by the splashing water on the back of her hand. At this moment, she felt a burning pain there, but she dared not show it on her face.

But he took his anger out on Shi Nanxi. If it weren't for her, nothing would have happened today and she wouldn't have been scalded by boiling water.

So he endured the pain, and while asking someone to clean up, he echoed:

"Your Majesty is right. A sick person is unlucky. Even the emperor who originally said he would come to visit the young prince did not come. Maybe the dragon energy sensed the bad luck and automatically avoided coming. Your Majesty, you must teach that Second Princess Shi the rules, which can also help her get rid of the bad luck."

When Concubine Ping mentioned that the emperor did not come, she became even more angry. In the past, the emperor would make time to come no matter how busy he was when he heard bad news about the little prince.

But she sent people to invite the emperor for two consecutive days, but the emperor never came once. If it was some bitch in the palace who deliberately tripped the emperor, she also checked, and the emperor did not turn over the cards or summon the concubines in these two days. It might be as Xinlian said.

The more I thought about it, the more I hated and loathed Shi Nanxi. At this moment, a young eunuch trotted in from outside the door:

"Your Majesty, I saw Xinyue leading people back from afar. But it wasn't just the Second Princess Shi, the First Princess Shi also followed."

"Princess Shi is here too?" Concubine Ping frowned.

"Yes, your Majesty. I have the honor of meeting those two princesses. I will not make a mistake." The young eunuch looked certain.

After hearing this, Concubine Ping narrowed her eyes, but her mind thought of the crown prince.

Why is it that the prince born to the eldest sister is the crown prince and is in good health, while the little prince she gave birth to is not only a bastard's, but also one who never grows up?

Thinking of this, she tightly grasped the handkerchief, her face gloomy and uncertain, but after a while, she suddenly smiled.

I heard that the two sisters are rare twins. Since they were born together, they should share the suffering again!
