Wanwan is not Wanwan: Who will spoil you after you are reborn?

The next day.

After breakfast, Shen Wanwan was about to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother for a follow-up consultation when a servant came to tell her, "My cousin, the Prince of Qin has arrived. He's waiting outside the palace gate. He said he's here to take you to the palace."

Shen Wanwan was a little surprised. How come he still had time to pick her up today?

She didn't bring Chuntao with her and walked out of the house quickly.

Gu Beichen was sitting in the carriage. When he saw Shen Wanwan come out, he lowered the curtains and got off the carriage in the blink of an eye and appeared in front of her.

She looked at him seriously and asked, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be busy today?"

As Princess Pingyang's only nephew, he should have helped with her funeral arrangements.

What's more, he already had a lot of things to do.

"By the way."

Gu Beichen extended his hand to her and led her towards the carriage. "After sending you to the palace, we'll go to the princess's residence. Anhua is still in the palace, so we have to send her back."

The two got into the carriage and sat down. The carriage started slowly and drove towards the palace.

Today's Cining Palace is still shrouded in gloom, but it is quieter than yesterday.

At the entrance of the hall, a white figure sat on the threshold with his hands on his knees, his back looking lonely and desolate.

Seeing the huddled white figure from afar, Shen Wanwan felt an inexplicable pang of pain in her heart.

"Yier, why are you sitting here?"

Zhao Ziyi suddenly raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, "Sister Wan, you are finally here. Mother is dead. She left me alone. I don't have a mother anymore..."

She quickly stood up and threw herself into Shen Wanwan's arms, sobbing.

After being suppressed for such a long time, I can finally vent the sadness and pain in my heart.

Last night, Zhao Ziyi rested in Fengyi Palace.

I was thinking about my mother and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She stood up, without lighting the lamp, and walked out of the hall to get some fresh air. However, she heard the palace guards who were on night watch talking in the corner.

"That's the Ice Soul Ghost. It's said that this poison is extremely toxic and excruciatingly painful when it attacks. I wonder how His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin managed to survive all these years?"

"That's right. Who would have thought that our Nanyao Kingdom's God of War Prince, while recovering the lost territory in the northern border, was actually enduring pain that ordinary people could not bear."

"Princess Pingyang is truly vicious. She could even kill her own nephew. No wonder the King of Qin insisted on sending him to the Imperial Clan House."

"Speaking of which, Princess Anhua is also pitiful."

"Why should she be pitiful? The emperor and the queen mother dote on her. Everyone in the palace knows how much they love her. Even if the princess dies, it will not affect the emperor and the queen mother's continued love for her."

"That's what they say, but who knows? The Prince of Qin is the only son left by Queen Mu. Even if the Queen Mother won't really be angry with the Princess, what about the Emperor? Will the Emperor really have no grudges at all?"

"Indeed, if I had such a vicious mother, it would be better if I didn't have her. It would be a good thing if she died. Otherwise, how could she face the King of Qin?"

……

Zhao Ziyi was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Who told you to plot against my mother like this in Fengyi Palace?"

The palace maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, knocking her head loudly.

Zhao Ziyi was well aware of her current difficult situation and did not want to make too much noise in the middle of the night, so she did not punish the two men immediately.

She turned back to her bedroom to rest, but her heart was even more confused and she couldn't fall asleep.

Although she didn't hear everything the palace maid said, she got the general idea.

She didn't dare ask in detail, for fear that the result she heard would be the same as what she understood.

Early this morning, Gu Beichen sent someone to tell her that he would personally send her back to the princess's mansion later to take care of the princess's funeral.

Zhao Ziyi was completely stunned and finally believed that she had really become an orphan without parents!

Shen Wanwan had never seen Zhao Ziyi cry so sadly and desperately. At this moment, she was like a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch.

Her nose felt sore and she wanted to say something comforting, but her throat seemed to be blocked by black iron and she couldn't make a sound.

He slowly raised his hand, passed it across her waist, and gently patted her back.

"Sister Wan, I'm scared. I'm really scared..."

I can no longer act like a spoiled child in my mother's arms.

No one would indulge her unconditionally anymore.

No one would ever respond angrily to her when she kept calling her mother: "You are so old, why are you still acting like a three-year-old?"

It will never be the same as before...

"...Yier, don't be afraid. Besides the princess, there are many people around you who love and care for you..."

"But Sister Wan, I really miss my mother so much. I didn't even see her for the last time, and she didn't leave me any last words..."

……

Gu Beichen stood quietly by the side.

Only after Zhao Ziyi's emotions stabilized a little did he speak: "Get ready, I'll take you back to the Princess's Mansion."

Zhao Ziyi was startled, left Shen Wanwan's arms and looked at Gu Beichen.

Did the cousin of the King of Qin just say "I"?

If I remember correctly, this was the first time he didn't call himself "King" in front of her.

Gu Beichen's eyes flickered slightly. "If you're not ready yet, you can stay in the palace for a few more days. I will take care of your aunt's funeral."

Zhao Ziyi wiped her tears and said, "No, I have to go back to keep vigil for my mother. Cousin Prince Qin, please wait for me. I will go to the inner hall to tell the Empress Dowager and then I will go with you."

"it is good."

It wasn't until Zhao Ziyi entered the inner hall that Shen Wanwan turned back to look at Gu Beichen, "When are you going to tell her about her true life story?"

She had wanted to ask this a long time ago, but after getting on the carriage, they chatted about other things and forgot about it.

Gu Beichen was about to reply when he heard loud crying coming from the inner hall.

Shen Wanwan's expression changed slightly. "The Queen Mother's current health cannot withstand such drastic emotional fluctuations. Let's go in and take a look."

Inner Temple.

The Queen Mother was lying on the phoenix couch. When she saw Zhao Ziyi come in, her breathing became rapid.

Seeing her red and swollen eyes, there was nothing I couldn't understand. Tears streamed down my face instantly, "My poor Anhua..."

"Royal Grandmother!"

Zhao Ziyi's tears, which had stopped flowing, began to fall again. She quickly stepped forward and threw herself into the empress dowager's arms, crying breathlessly.

The Queen Mother placed her hand on Zhao Ziyi's back and patted her gently, "Don't be afraid, Anhua. I will always be with you. With the Imperial Grandmother here, I will never let you suffer the slightest injustice again..."

Even Chen'er can't do it!

That brat was too outrageous. When Pingyang was imprisoned in the clan house, he confined Anhua to the princess's mansion without saying a word.

Whenever she thought about Anhua having to face all this alone, she was so angry that she wanted to pick up her crutch and beat that brat up.

Why should Anhua be punished for what Pingyang did wrong?

Perhaps he finally felt guilty, and sent Anhua to the Cining Palace yesterday.

But Pingyang is dead. If Anhua really rests in Cining Palace, she is afraid that she will not be able to help but tell her the news.

She took Anhua to Fengyi Palace because she hadn't figured out how to tell her about Pingyang.

She just learned that the palace maid who was on night watch in Fengyi Palace last night was gossiping and discussing Pingyang's affairs in private, and was overheard by Anhua.

The child did not punish the two palace maids, but waited quietly until dawn before coming to the Cining Palace.

Anwar like this is even more heartbreaking.

Shen Wanwan and Gu Beichen walked into the inner hall and saw the scene of the grandfather and grandson hugging each other and crying bitterly, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

"Grandmother, you must take good care of yourself so that you can better protect Yi'er."

The Queen Mother stopped crying and looked towards Shen Wanwan. However, when she saw Gu Beichen beside her, her eyes darkened. "Why did you come to see the Imperial Grandmother?"

She doesn't have such an unfilial grandson who doesn't care about family affection!

Gu Beichen coughed lightly, "Grandson is here to take my cousin back to the Princess's Mansion."

The Queen Mother was slightly startled and looked at Gu Beichen suspiciously.

Could this guy be so kind?

"The Princess's Mansion has announced the death. As my aunt's biological daughter, Anhua should go back to keep vigil for her. My grandson is Anhua's only cousin. What's wrong with personally sending her back?"

He still has a conscience.

The Queen Mother glared at Gu Beichen, then raised her hand to wipe Zhao Ziyi's tears, "Good child, don't be afraid. If anything happens, remember to find the Imperial Grandmother. I will take care of it for you."

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while before Zhao Ziyi reluctantly left with Gu Beichen.

Shen Wanwan stepped forward to take the empress dowager's pulse.

"Don't rush to check the pulse yet."

Not only did the Queen Mother not stretch out her hand, but she hid it under the quilt.

"I heard that when you left the palace yesterday, the Emperor summoned you to the Yangxin Palace?"

Shen Wanwan nodded, "Yes."

"What did you say?"

Shen Wanwan didn't hesitate at all, "About the princess's background."
