Golden Branch

"Jealous?"

After hearing what Wang Mian said, Wang Heng was stunned.

"Yeah! I was in Ganlu Palace and drank a cup of vinegar!"

After Wang Mian came back from the palace, he went straight to the princess's residence.

Oh my god, although she is safe now, she has finally experienced a life-and-death test.

And there is the damn "jealousy". Wang Mian can imagine that the people at that time, as well as hundreds and thousands of years later, she, Wang Mian, will be the spokesperson for jealousy.

Whenever people talk about women being jealous, or men and women being jealous, they use the word "jealous" to describe it.

Wang Mian: ...What a fictitious dynasty.

If there was no Mrs. Lu, there would be Wang Mian.

The story of jealousy is like certain established historical trajectories. Even if there is no corresponding person, it will be presented in another way.

Wang Mian was a little confused for a moment.

She sat cross-legged opposite Wang Heng, picked up the teacup, and began to drink from it.

"Alright, if you're jealous, then be jealous!"

After Wang Heng was surprised, she was able to think normally.

When she knew Wang Mian's experience, she understood what Queen Li meant.

Next, she will help promote it.

Being jealous is better than actually being poisoned.

It's just a pity for Amian. She is not a jealous woman, but she has to bear such a stigma.

And Xiao Wuji, wow, that noble and elegant young general has also become a laughing stock of a henpecked waste.

"By the way, the one who was given a beauty last night was not only my Xiao Lang, but also Yang Eryi!"

After drinking a cup of tea and with the support of her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Mian's troubled mood finally calmed down.

She began to gossip: "I wonder how things are going with Shisan Niang?"

"Yang Ershiyi is not like my Xiao Lang. He is a playboy who loves pleasure. Thirteenth Lady mostly manages him!"

Wang Mian wasn't one to talk about other people behind their backs, but since it involved her best friend, she was still a little worried.

Wang Mian and Xiao Wuji are in love with each other, and now they share life and death, honor and disgrace.

As for Yang Shou, he did like Zheng Shisan, but this liking was too shallow.

He likes all weak and beautiful women and will not stop for Zheng Shisan alone.

As for Zheng Shisan, he couldn't even say that he liked Yang Shou.

Compared with Yang Shou as a person, Zheng Shisan values ​​his identity as the Prince of Rui more.

This couple seems to be living together.

Without sufficient emotional foundation, they are easily impacted by external forces.

"Yang Sanqi, of course, is no match for Xiao Lang!"

Zheng Shisan stepped in with a sarcastic tone.

Wang Heng and Wang Mian looked at each other in bewilderment. They weren't embarrassed by being caught gossiping, but rather—

Wang Heng blinked. "...Oh no, what's going on? Is Shisan Niang angry?"

Wang Mian curled his lips: It seems that Yang Shou’s problem is not just that he took two beautiful concubines, he made a bigger mistake.

Zheng Shisan was indeed angry. Didn't he hear her calling Yang Shou by his nickname?

Ahem, this is just a private joke among the three of them.

Yang Shou is the twenty-first child in the family. Three times seven equals twenty-one, isn't that Yang Sanqi?

"Shisan Niang, what's going on?"

"Did Yang Shou take in those two beautiful maids? Or did Princess Rui wrong you?"

Wang Heng waved her hand, motioning Zheng Shisan to sit down.

Zheng Shisan bowed slightly as a gesture of greeting, and then sat down politely next to Wang Mian.

"There's nothing wrong with accepting a beautiful maid. After all, it's a gift from a noble man!"

Zheng Shisan had long been prepared for her husband to take a concubine.

So, there was not much reaction to the two beauties last night.

Furthermore, as she said, it was a reward from the King of Yan. Yang Shou did not have the confidence of Xiao Wuji and did not dare to refuse.

He didn't want to refuse either.

Because of the former emperor, the Rui Palace lost its power.

In order to regain power, Yang Shou, the prince of Rui Wang, did not hesitate to lower himself to marry her, a concubine's daughter from a poor family.

Now, Prince Yan, as the favored son of the Emperor and Empress, has taken the initiative to show his goodwill. Everyone in Prince Rui's mansion will be flattered. How could they be willing to give up such immense wealth?

Zheng Shisan was indeed very angry.

She certainly didn't love Yang Shou deeply, but she never let him down either.

Zheng Shisan asked herself, ever since she married Yang Shou, she has always put him first in everything.

Not only did he supplement the dowry, but he also used the princess's connections to gain favors.

Even on the princess' birthday last year, she was unable to go and congratulate her in person because of Yang Shou.

The princess is on the way, that's not an excuse.

If it were in the past, and Zheng Shisan had not married, she would even follow the princess back to her hometown, instead of just preparing gifts and sending people to wait at the gate of the capital to welcome her!

Zheng Shisan sincerely wants to make this marriage work.

However, the words and actions of Yang Shou and the King Rui and his wife made Zheng Shisan realize that all men are like that, and her husband's family is a place she cannot fit in after all.

At least compared to her princess, everyone in Prince Rui's Palace is not reliable at all!

After two days of weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Shisan made up his mind.

"What I never expected was that he actually had a mistress!"

Zheng Shisan did not hide anything and directly told people about Asu's existence.

Wang Heng & Wang Mian: …

Yang Shou, how could he be so confused?

Still so cold and indifferent!

He had a mistress, which not only disrespected Zheng Shisan, but also told others that Zheng Shisan was jealous!

Zheng Shisan is different from Wang Mian. She does not have any imperial edicts, nor does she have so many magical skills.

She is a woman who is wholeheartedly trying to survive in the inner palace. If she is labeled as jealous, how can she gain a foothold in Prince Rui's Mansion and in the capital?

Although Wang Heng and Wang Mian only regarded Zheng Shisan as their illegitimate best friend, a illegitimate best friend is still a best friend.

After being together for many years, Zheng Shisan has become respectful and dutiful, and is one of their own.

Wang Mian may be slightly dissatisfied with Zheng Shisan because of what happened with Jiang Si before, but she will not allow outsiders to bully her!

Wang Heng, on the other hand, understood the nature of the powerful and wealthy even better. She thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Where are Prince Rui and the Princess? Do they know?"

If Yang Shou had not only kept it a secret from Zheng Shisan but also from his parents, things wouldn't be so bad.

At most, Yang Shou was bewitched by lust and became confused.

But if the whole government knew about it and only Zheng Shisan was kept in the dark, the situation would be serious.

After hearing Wang Heng's words, Zheng Shisan hesitated slightly.

Although she didn't look at Wang Mian or say anything, her hesitation itself had a deeper meaning.

Wang Mian understood. Well, it seems that there is a secret behind Yang Shou's mistress.

"It's getting late, my dear, it's time for you to leave the court. I'm going back first!"

Wang Mian knows his limits.

Even though she had a good relationship with Wang Heng, she would always take the initiative to step aside when there was a need to be discreet.

"Well! Go ahead! My brother and I will help you with the rest!"

Wang Heng waved her hand without any extra politeness and watched Wang Mian leave.

After Wang Mian left, Wang Heng sent the maids and others out of the hall.

"Tell me! What's the matter?"

Wang Heng lowered her voice and asked quietly, so that only the two of them could hear.

"Princess, that Ah Su is not an ordinary concubine. Yang Shou seems to be looking for someone through her!"

Zheng Shisan also lowered his voice, put his hand to his lips, and said softly: "I sent someone to check and found out that they are looking for a miracle doctor named Li!"

"Miracle doctor?"

Wang Heng was slightly startled, and a glint flickered in her distinctly black and white lychee eyes.

The most pressing issue in the palace right now is the Queen's heart disease, and even the Crown Prince needs treatment.

If there is a miracle doctor who can cure that supreme mother and son, it would be a great achievement.

The saint and the prince will be grateful and can guarantee the miracle doctor decades of wealth and prosperity.

Not only the miracle doctor, but also the person who recommends the miracle doctor can receive royal rewards!

No wonder the Rui Palace would hide it from Zheng Shisan. Zheng Shisan and Wang Heng have such a deep connection that the Rui Palace dared not take the risk.

"It seems the princess has already thought of it! I also guessed so. That miracle doctor must be doing this for the Empress and the Crown Prince!"

Zheng Shisan curled the corners of his lips, but there was not much smile in his eyes.

Her good husband and good mother-in-law all treated her as a thief and were on guard against her.

Since this is the case, she cannot let this "importance" go to waste.

You're not on guard against me, you're not afraid that I'll leak secrets, you're just going to betray me.

Furthermore, for Zheng Shisan, it is hard to say who is inside and who is outside.

She can sleep with anyone, but she only has one princess!

Holding the handkerchief tightly, Zheng Shisan told Wang Heng all the clues she had found in the Prince Rui's Mansion and other places in the past two days.

"No matter how good that miracle doctor's medical skills are, he must have some skills to be so respected by Yang Shou!"

"It was only after he went to the northwest that he met Asu and learned the whereabouts of the miracle doctor."

"And the reason he was able to go to the northwest was all thanks to you, Princess."

"At the root of it all, you are the source of everything."

"The credit for this recommendation should also belong to you!"

Zheng Shisan not only made his choice, but also thoughtfully found a reason for Wang Heng's subsequent interception...
