Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 116: Death by Water
Recalling the series of funny events last night, he couldn't help laughing, and then called someone in to help him change clothes, bathe, and have breakfast.
Suddenly, she noticed that the people around her looked strange, as if they were hiding some unknown secret. "What happened?"
She asked in a low voice.
Nanny Yang hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Your Majesty, please calm down and don't be too nervous."
Upon hearing this, Shen Muxue couldn't help but feel a little panic in her heart.
She couldn't help but look down at her belly. Could something have happened to the child?
Nanny Yang hurriedly explained, "The Queen is in good health and has nothing to worry about. This matter concerns the Second Young Miss."
Since it had nothing to do with her own safety, Shen Muxue relaxed a little and said calmly: "Then you can just say it directly."
"Last night, the second young lady accidentally fell into the water and was only found this morning. Unfortunately, she did not survive the ordeal."
"what!"
Shen Muxue was so scared that she almost spit out the porridge she had just taken a mouthful of, and quickly forced herself to swallow it.
Although she was not as frightened as expected, this incident still had a great impact on her.
Many times, she thought that Shen Yuwei would not live long, but she didn't expect that it would come true this time.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard the report from my subordinates early this morning, and they have already sent someone to notify Wang to come to the palace."
Shen Muxue nodded silently, while eating with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Not long ago, Shen Yuwei had just received a marriage contract from King Xian'an, and the person who reacted most strongly to this was the Queen Mother.
Such an imperial edict is a blatant insult to Prince Xian'an, so it is not impossible that the Queen Mother will really take action against Shen Yuwei.
Besides, the imperial concubine also had sufficient motives. After all, Xie Jing had just passed away, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Yuwei became the bride of Prince Xian'an. This was simply intolerable for the proud and complacent imperial concubine.
Faced with such a situation, how should things end properly?
Considering that Wang is about to arrive, it is probably not a good idea to tell her that this matter was planned by the Queen Mother and hope to use her power to fight against the Queen Mother.
If it is not handled properly, the entire Shen family may be implicated.
And judging from the emperor's current position, he is obviously not in a hurry to take extreme measures against King Xian'an.
However, if Wang Shi knew that it was the Imperial Concubine who orchestrated all this, then based on the Emperor's current attitude towards eradicating the Xie family, there seemed to be more opportunities for a turnaround...
After thinking for a while, Shen Muxue whispered a few specific matters to Nanny Yang, and then continued to enjoy her breakfast.
In a short while, Wang arrived at Linglong Palace. Nanny Yang stood up to greet her and led her to the side hall.
"Madam Yang, I need to see the Empress and Yu Wei."
Wang's voice had a slight tremor, and her words floated like thin threads.
Nanny Yang lowered her voice and said soothingly, "You may not have heard about this, but last night our queen was found to be pregnant. The emperor, delighted, promised the second daughter to Prince Xian'an. The imperial concubine has always been dissatisfied with the second daughter, and after learning of her marriage to Prince Xian'an, how could she let it go? She took action last night."
Although the Empress was in charge on the surface, the Imperial Concubine had been running the harem for many years and had spies everywhere, so the other party could easily gain the upper hand if she wasn't careful.
"After hearing about this, the Empress has fainted several times. To protect the safety of her unborn child, the Emperor has forbidden anyone to disturb her."
After hearing this, Wang sat down on the ground dejectedly.
She had only vaguely heard some news about the incident that Shen Yuwei had encountered, but she had not expected that there were so many plots involved behind it.
Nanny Yang continued, "When the Second Young Lady disappeared, the Empress searched the entire palace with all her might until she was found. However, the Second Young Lady refused to return with the Empress, instead devoting herself entirely to Prince Xian'an. Now, when the Emperor has issued an edict for the marriage, she is gone."
"So it was the Imperial Concubine who did it..." Wang just muttered to herself, her eyes full of resentment.
Sensing the potential threat, Nanny Yang quickly reached out to cover Wang's mouth and whispered, "Don't speak lightly! The Imperial Concubine has absolute power, and no one dares to confront her head-on. Looking back, it was out of fear of the Xie family that we managed to marry the Empress into them. We never imagined it would turn out like this."
At this moment, Wang, who was disheartened, didn't care about the irony in the other party's words at all. She only felt that all the troubles came from Xie and that arrogant and domineering man.
"They must pay with blood!"
He nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty shares this thought. How could our clan accept such an insult without fighting back? Now, take the Second Young Lady's body back to the mansion and then file a complaint at the Dali Temple. Expose the crimes committed by this group of evildoers against the women of the Shen family!"
After saying these words, Nanny Yang squeezed out a few tears, then helped Wang, who was still in a daze, away.
An hour later, after finishing all the matters, Nanny Yang returned to Linglong Palace.
"How's it going?"
Shen Muxue put down the album in her hand and asked impatiently.
Nanny Yang smiled and replied, "Madam's will is no longer her own. She will agree with whatever this old servant says. It seems that Madam will appeal to the Dali Temple when she returns home."
Shen Muxue nodded in agreement, her thoughts drifting back to her previous life. She could still vividly remember that desperate night in the Xie Mansion when her father and brother were heartbroken after hearing the news and rushed to the capital overnight.
At this moment, Wang must be immersed in similar pain.
It's all her own fault. It's a pity that she still hasn't realized that her daughter's death was caused by her own actions.
After the emperor left court, he immediately went to Linglong Palace to visit.
He had learned about Shen Yuwei's experience early in the morning and knew that he had long been dissatisfied with the mother and daughter's indecent behavior towards Shen Muxue. He thought that this person's departure was just the right way to vent Shen Muxue's anger.
However, when I think of the scene last night when Shen Muxue begged for forgiveness for the second lady of the Shen family, I know that the queen is extremely kind-hearted.
If I had learned the news of my sister's murder in the morning, I would have been overwhelmed with grief.
He hurriedly arrived at Linglong Palace and happened to see Nanny Yang trying to persuade his concubine. Seeing his beloved concubine so strong yet fragile made the emperor feel heartbroken.
"Xue'er."
Hearing this familiar address, Shen Muxue finally noticed the emperor's arrival and hurriedly prepared to stand up and salute, but was immediately stopped.
"Now that I'm pregnant, I don't have to kneel or bow to anyone I meet. Is your body adjusting to this?"
The emperor's considerate words gently touched the wound in her heart, causing her tears to stop abruptly.
"Everything is fine, but I can't get over the news that my little sister was killed."
The sound was faint but clear.
I wanted to blurt out the words "death would be the best", but when I saw the moist eyes of the beauty, I finally held back, "I will order people to thoroughly investigate the truth and swear to give Yuwei justice."
His tone was gentle but held unshakable determination.
Shen Muxue pleaded in a slightly coquettish tone, "Although the dead cannot be reborn, I hope to fulfill their last wish."
The emperor looked at the woman in front of him in confusion, wondering when Miss Shen would have the chance to express her dying wish?
