Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

In the past, they mostly interacted with people like Shen Yao, and their mother was not very knowledgeable, so the two sisters had no place to learn how to be tolerant and kind to others. It was not until Shen Li came back that the sisters were enlightened. It turned out that people can get along with each other with consideration for each other, and the gratitude and affection gained in return are more reassuring and comfortable.

The two of them bowed to Shen Li with embarrassed faces, "Big Sister is right, we all remember what you said. We will never dare to say anything nonsense in your name, please rest assured. I wonder if we can help you here, but if there is anything, I will give you my instructions."

Shen Li was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that a villain like Wan who only flatters the powerful could give birth to two daughters who are quite sensible. Thinking of their behavior at Ding Lan's funeral, they knelt there obediently and kept vigil for three days and three nights.

Shen Li nodded and said to Zi Su, "Bring me the pair of white jade bracelets awarded by the palace and give one to the third and fourth young ladies as a token of my gratitude."

Shen Yan and Shen Lin quickly waved their hands and said, "Don't be polite, big sister. We are sisters, it's only natural. I would never dare to accept such an expensive gift from you."

Mrs. Wan was so anxious that she cursed herself for giving birth to two stupid children.

Once I received Shen Li's gift, no matter where I went in the future, as long as I wore it, others would have to give me some respect. How could I refuse?

Zi Su took out the bracelet, Shen Li called Shen Yan and Shen Lin over, took the bracelet and put it on them.

"Okay, let's all go back. We might see each other a few times in the future, so just be good people."

"Yes, we'll listen to you, elder sister." The two sisters knelt down and bowed. Seeing Shen Li busy, they pulled Wan out of the corner courtyard.

A few days later, news came from the palace that Queen Yao died of illness at 11:00 on the night of October 11.

The second prince entered the palace in a daze and knelt before his mother's spirit. He no longer had the ambition he once had in his heart.

From the time he looked for help everywhere when the queen got into trouble but was rejected, to the time he learned the true cause of the third prince's death, he was completely desperate.

Without the support of the Chongguo Mansion and the Queen, he himself had mediocre qualifications and was the Queen's legitimate son in vain. He was also suppressed by Xiao Chenze, the Queen Chu's legitimate son.

What was there to fight for in the first place?

Just as he was stunned, Eunuch Chang came over and said, "This old servant greets the Second Prince. Please accept my condolences."

Xiao Haoze looked at him silently.

"I'm here on the orders of the Emperor. He said that after the Empress's funeral, the Second Prince can leave for his fiefdom and return to the capital only when summoned. Second Prince, the Emperor also said that you should pack up in advance and let me know if you need anything. He ordered me to cooperate fully so that the Second Prince can leave the capital smoothly."

Xiao Haoze continued to remain silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Eunuch Chang went to the Queen's spirit to burn incense and then left.

Just as he was about to walk out the door, he heard Xiao Haoze ask softly from behind, "Eunuch Chang, tell me the truth, has the emperor never considered passing the throne to anyone other than Xiao Chenze from the very beginning?"

Eunuch Chang paused, Xiao Haoze looked at his back, he said nothing and walked out again.

As the figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Xiao Haoze suddenly laughed.

The queen's funeral was very simple. On the way to the imperial mausoleum, only the Yao family followed the royal procession, making it look deserted.

After the funeral, the Yao family learned that the second prince was about to go to his fiefdom, and they were all panicked for a moment.

Yao Jingyi is the second prince's wife, who was married off by the emperor. If she goes to the fiefdom, how will the Yao family survive?

If you want to go, take the whole family with you.

Since life in the capital is not easy anyway, it is better to go to the fiefdom and become a local emperor, where I can still resume my good life of eating and drinking.

Just when he was feeling happy, that night, the second prince came to the Yao family with only one follower.

As soon as he entered the room, he sent his attendants away and said that he wanted to talk to Yao Jingyi about something.

Yao Jingyi brought the person to the study, and Xiao Haoze took out a letter from his sleeve. "Take a look, someone secretly slipped this to me. The content on it is quite interesting."

After saying that, he handed the letter over. Yao Jingyi took it and opened it. She was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure.

Xiao Haoze kept staring at her, and all the expressions on her face fell into his eyes. He couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "Cousin, don't you have anything to say?"

Yao Jingyi didn't say anything.

The letter stated that upon learning that the Empress was no longer useful, Yao Jingyi persuaded the Yao family's old lady to hand over the evidence of Empress Yao's murder of Empress Chu. Using Empress Yao's life, she protected the Yao family from being implicated. Then, she used the conflict between Shen Li and the two Zhaos to kill them, making the Wen family pay for their offense.

The letter also said, who is Miss Shen? How can she take advantage of her casually? If she gets upset one day, maybe she will come to talk to her.

The letter was signed by Wen Wanying.

Wen Wanying had died a long time ago, and everyone knew that she could not have left such a letter, but it didn't matter whether she did or not.

Xiao Haoze coldly took the letter back, folded it, and put it back into his sleeve pocket. He said to her, "I will not take the Yao family to the fiefdom. A prince's consort like you cannot afford it, so I respectfully decline. As for the Yao family's food, clothing, and money, don't even think about asking me for supplies from now on. Miss Yao is so resourceful and scheming, I believe there must be a way, and this prince is too lazy to worry about it. From the moment my mother was betrayed by the Yao family, there is no longer any relationship between me and the Yao family. Take care of yourself."

It was as if a bolt from the blue hit Yao Jingyi's head. She felt dizzy and watched the second prince leave the Yao family.

The letter was secretly given to Xiao Haoze by the maidservant beside the queen while he was in the palace to keep vigil.

The queen wrote all of this down before she died. Xiao Haoze copied it again and showed it to Yao Jingyi.

I never liked her in the first place, and she even fanned the flames in my mother's affairs. I respectfully declined any favors from such a cruel person.

The next day, news came from the Second Prince's Mansion.

The Empress's death has left the Second Prince heartbroken, and he has pledged to observe a three-year mourning period for his deceased mother. To avoid missing his beloved's wedding, he has written to the Emperor, requesting the cancellation of his marriage to the eldest daughter of the Yao family. From now on, they will have nothing to do with each other, whether in marriage or funerals...

When Shen Li heard the news, she felt nothing.

It was the message she sent to the Queen, and it was also the letter she wrote after leaving paper and pen for the Queen.

If Yao Jingyi dares to use her, she must be able to bear the consequences.

This person is much more vicious than Wen Wanying and Shen Yao. If it weren't for her family's troubles and bad luck, she might have caused greater turmoil in the court in order to support Xiao Haoze to ascend the throne.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has finally ushered in a century of prosperity, and it cannot be destroyed by such people.

Shen Li stood up and said to Cui Lan'er and Fang Mingwan, "Let's go. I'll take you to Mizhou to pick up Fang Jitao."

She had already made an agreement with her uncle that in two days, she would take the emperor and them to Beidi and Xiqiang.

Bring Fang Jitao back first and get ready.
