Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

Xiao Jinhuan asked Shen Chuning coldly, "Did you just say that Shen Jingwan's cold is recurring?"

Shen Chu paused for a moment and replied, "Yes...it's a bit recurring. It was almost healed at first, but I don't know why..."

Xiao Jinhuan grasped the key point in Shen Chuning's words, "She was almost healed at first? That means she was wearing thin clothes in the cold weather to seduce some wild man, catching a cold. She really couldn't stand the loneliness even when she was sick."

Shen Chuning's face flushed. "Sixth Princess, do you have any evidence to support your claim? Sister Wan is only a teenager. How will she cope with the consequences of ruining her reputation like this?"

"Reputation? You care about it for her, but she doesn't. You didn't see how seductive she was when she seduced my third brother. Shen Chuning, go back and tell Shen Jingwan not to put all the blame on me. If I get angry, I might spill all her dirty laundry."

After Xiao Jinhuan finished speaking, she left with Caiyi and Caidie without looking back.

Shen Chu stared at Xiao Jinhuan's back, with a barely noticeable smile on his lips.

……

There are two locked rooms in the palace where Xiao Jinhuan lives, and no one is allowed to enter under normal circumstances.

When Shen Jingwan first entered the palace to choose a room, she wanted to choose these two, but was stopped by Caidie. In the end, she lived in the same room with Caiyi.

After returning to her palace, Xiao Jinhuan became more and more angry the more she thought about it, so she opened one of the doors.

"Caidie, don't you think Han Yuanzheng is too free? He even has time to treat the concubine's daughter of a minister." Xiao Jinhuan asked in an unhappy tone.

When Caidie saw Xiao Jinhuan open the room, she knew someone was bound to be in trouble, so she could only answer cautiously, "Miss Shen Jiu just said that it was Old Madam Shen who used Prime Minister Shen's card to invite Han Yuanzheng. And now that the Shen Mansion has announced that Miss Wan has been registered under the name of Third Madam Shen, Han Yuanzheng may have gone there out of courtesy."

Xiao Jinhuan became even more furious after hearing this. "Did Qin Qimei think that marrying into the Prime Minister's household would change her status as a concubine of the Duke of Qing? Now, she's even registering her concubine's daughter under her own name. This is a disgrace to my maternal family!"

Xiao Jinhuan looked at the tea set on the shelf, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said softly, "This tea set has been sitting there for a while, it's time to use it."

Her eyes fell gently on the tea set, as if she were admiring a precious work of art. However, Caidie beside her was pale and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

That tea set was exactly the one used by a palace maid who had leprosy last month!

Xiao Jinhuan's room is filled with sources of infection for various diseases, and she often lets the palace maids around her touch and use them.

Once those palace servants fell ill, they became new sources of infection, and the items they used were collected by Xiao Jinhuan.

This is done on the one hand to maintain the activity of the viruses on these objects, and on the other hand for drug testing.

As to whether the palace servants who used the objects in this room survived, it all depended on fate.

However, the palace maids who had used this tea set did not survive.

And now Caidie is the seventh Caidie around Xiao Jinhuan. She knows very well that her fate is like walking on a tightrope, and she will fall into the abyss if she is not careful.

"Princess...this...this set of tea...tea set was used...just last...last month." Caidie stammered, her voice full of fear and anxiety.

Xiao Jinhuan looked at the trembling Caidie and knew she was mistaken. She burst out laughing and smiled disdainfully, "Don't worry, I'm quite comfortable using you now. I won't let you go to test the medicine just yet. Besides, how can I invite Han Yuanzheng to come when a little palace girl is sick?"

Hearing this, Caidie breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help asking curiously, "Who does the princess want to test the medicine on?"

Xiao Jinhuan's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "Send this tea set to Xiaowu in North Third Institute. It's time to put this useless brother of mine to some use."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the room, locking the door with her own hands.

Caidie quickly followed, holding a bottle of liquor, wanting to help Xiao Jinhuan wash her hands.

"Princess, that's the fifth prince. If the emperor or the empress dowager finds out about this..." Caidie's voice trembled, filled with worry.

Xiao Jinhuan, however, was unconcerned. She sneered, "This princess isn't afraid, so why should you? His biological mother is just a palace maid who can only climb into the bed beside my mother. How can a child born by a palace maid be called a prince? My father might have even forgotten that such a son existed. As for the Royal Grandmother, she won't care at all. Do you believe that if the Royal Grandmother dares to let out a hint of wanting to control Xiaowu today, Xiaowu will be assassinated by his brothers tomorrow."

Xiao Jinhuan's words frightened Caidie, and she didn't dare to respond at all.

"Besides, by doing this, we are also helping my fifth brother. Maybe if something happens to him, the emperor will remember him. Later, you will send this tea set to my fifth brother. After watching him use it, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Han Yuanzheng to come and treat him. After all, leprosy is contagious. After seeing him, Han Yuanzheng will definitely stay in the North Third Hospital until Xiaowu dies or recovers. That way, he won't have time to see Shen Jingwan."

Xiao Jinhuan explained her plan in detail, while Caidie was horrified as she listened. She never expected that the Sixth Princess would be so indifferent to the life and death of the Fifth Prince in order to discipline Shen Jingwan.

"Shen Jingwan has been resting for such a long time. As a companion to the princess, how can she not accompany the princess for two months? If she doesn't come to the palace again, I'm afraid someone will accuse me of being mean to her. Send a message to the Shen family and ask Shen Jingwan to come to the palace tomorrow."

After receiving the order, Caidie first sent someone to the Shen Mansion to pass on the message, and then she walked towards the North Third House trembling with fear, holding the tea set.

When Caidie arrived, Xiao Yuanyi was practicing calligraphy. The eunuch Cui An, who was guarding the door, saw someone coming and hurriedly asked Xiao Yuanyi to put away his pen and paper.

When Caidie entered the yard and saw Xiao Yuanyi lying on the ground teasing a few chicks, a look of disgust appeared on her face.

When Xiao Yuanyi saw Caidie, he trembled with fear. The last time Xiao Jinhuan brought people to beat him, Caidie was standing next to Xiao Jinhuan.

Cui An asked politely, "What brings you here, young lady?"

Caidie smiled and said, "Our Sixth Princess has just got a set of tea sets. She wanted to give it to the Fifth Prince, so she asked me to send it to him."
