Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace
Chapter 71 Becoming a Fool
Although the Crown Prince hadn't said it explicitly, the Queen knew he had feelings for Shen Wanqing. In these troubled times, she worried that the Crown Prince would be too reckless. If the Crown Prince left the Eastern Palace to visit Shen Wanqing, the consequences would be disastrous.
The queen could not bear to see the prince go down a dangerous path, so she immediately took the palace maids and went to the East Palace.
"Isn't the prince under house arrest? Where is he going?" the queen shouted.
"Mother, please calm down!" The prince felt guilty when he saw the serious expression on the queen's face.
"Why are you here, mother?" The prince invited the queen into the palace.
"If I don't come again, will you go to the Hou Mansion to see Miss Shen the Fourth?" The Queen was really disappointed in her.
"Mother, Lord Shen just came to see me. He didn't ask for Miss Shen Fourth to be crown princess, but only said that if Miss Shen Fourth is truly a fool, then she can be crown princess. My son thought that he still needs Lord Shen right now, so he didn't refuse. He will marry her and raise her in the mansion when the time comes."
The Hou Mansion has considerable power, and Shen Yunlan's disciples are spread all over the place. If Shen Yunlan can settle the Huainan corruption case this time, it is not impossible for him to marry her daughter then.
In this way, this is a business that does not lose money.
"That being said, you cannot disregard the Emperor's order."
This incident had a very bad impact on the prince. The emperor only confined the prince to his place of residence and fined his salary. This mild punishment did not teach the prince a lesson.
Now that the Queen had made it clear, the Prince felt a little scared. At this critical juncture, if he provoked the Emperor again, it would not be as simple as confining him.
Seeing the prince's remorse, the queen breathed a sigh of relief. "If the fourth girl really does become a fool, you don't have to worry about it. After all, there are many good girls in this world."
"My son knows."
The prince nodded in agreement. If he didn't need Shen Yunlan's support, he would not have agreed to marry a fool into the Eastern Palace. If it got out, it would damage his reputation.
After receiving the prince's promise, Shen Yunlan's expression became much better. If he wanted to help the prince settle the matter, he couldn't let those officials in prison say anything.
He was going to the Ministry of Justice. Until the Huainan incident was fully investigated, those officials had to stay there.
If they want to get out, they need someone from outside to rescue them, and Shen Yunlan who comes to them at this time is undoubtedly their life-saving straw.
Shen Yunlan went to the Ministry of Justice and came out not long after. After returning to the Hou Mansion, he entered the study. Soon, a letter was delivered to the East Palace.
The person who exposed this incident was Concubine De, who had solid evidence in her hands. However, there was something unclear about the account, which was where they could make amends.
"My dear second brother, I didn't realize that you also wanted to share a piece of the pie with me. Damn it!" After reading the letter, the prince threw it into the brazier and burned it, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
Yuwen Yi, you really deserve to die. Shen Wanxiu was originally his Crown Princess, but he snatched her away. Now you've left Shen Wanqing behind, and you're trying to get involved. You're really doing this to this Crown Prince.
Isn't Shen Wanqing stupid? Since she can't get it, others will try to get it.
Shen Yunlan's movements did not escape Du Zhijie's eyes, and the people who kept an eye on him came to report and described his actions in detail.
"That's exactly what I expected!"
There was a cold look in Du Zhijie's eyes.
He could understand Shen Qulan's actions; after all, he was a member of the Crown Prince's party. Now that the Crown Prince was in trouble, he should help him. However, he was still unwilling to give up and send Shen Wanqing to the Eastern Palace, which made him very angry.
It seems that Lord Shen is really too idle and is busy arranging a marriage for his daughter, so he will find something for him to do.
"Go and spread this news." Du Zhijie threw the account book in his hand to the guard.
It was an account book, and the items in it were exactly the funds for disaster relief in Huainan.
Some of the food and medicine purchased were related to the shops run by the Hou Mansion.
Thinking about seeing these, Shen Yunlan’s expression must be very interesting.
"Miss, I have heard some new information." Cui'er came in quickly from outside and whispered in Shen Wanru's ear.
Shen Wanru was irritated by her mysterious demeanor. "If you have something to say, just say it now. Are you still keeping me in suspense?"
Cui Er then whispered, "It was just heard from the Madam's courtyard that the Master wants the Crown Prince to marry the Fourth Young Lady."
"Hasn't she become a fool? Why would the prince marry her?" Shen Wanru looked incredulous.
Cui'er was frightened by her reaction. She stood aside with her body straightened, not daring to say anything.
Seeing Cui'er like this, Shen Wanru became even more angry and slammed the table, "No, I have to go and see for myself, what's going on?"
They are all dying. Even if they are not dead, they are fools. How can a prince marry a fool? It seems that my father is confused. Besides, Shen Wanqing is not the only girl in this mansion.
She, Shen Wanqing, also deserves the prince's favor.
Shen Wanru brought her maid directly into Shen Wanqing's yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Xuanyuan Qiaoer's crying voice.
"Stop drooling and shut up! What's wrong with you? Stop smiling like an idiot..."
"The fourth young lady had a high fever for several days. Although she couldn't wake up, her brain was damaged." The imperial physician looked regretful. Just imagine that she became a fool at such a young age. How could she get married in the future?
"How could this happen? She was fine just a few days ago, how could she suddenly become ill?" Xuanyuan Qiao'er looked at the idiotic Shen Wanqing with a look of heartache. "Is there any other way? Even the best herbs won't work?"
"The best medicinal herbs are in the palace. Fourth sister is just an ordinary person, how can she use royal items? I'm afraid that Sister Xuanyuan has been influenced by Fourth sister and her mind is not clear anymore."
Xuanyuan Qiao'er frowned as she heard this. When she looked up, she saw Shen Wanru walking in. She was immediately furious: "Why are you here? Are you not welcome here?"
"Hehe, this is where my sister lives. I am her eldest sister. It is natural for an eldest sister to visit her own sister." Shen Wanru approached and glanced at the person on the bed. Seeing that he was grinning foolishly with breath flowing from the corner of his mouth, she looked even more disgusted.
"Seeing my sister like this, I feel very distressed."
She has a graceful figure and a dignified posture, but her pretentious appearance is really disgusting.
Xuanyuan Qiao'er snorted coldly, "Weren't you kneeling in the ancestral hall with your fourth sister? How come she is so seriously ill while you are fine?"
"You don't understand. It's a blessing from heaven. I've been blessed since I was young. A mere cold can't do anything to me. As for my fourth sister..."
"How could you do this..."
Xuanyuan Qiaoer would get angry if she heard anyone say Shen Wanqing was unlucky. They had grown up together, so she knew exactly what kind of person Shen Wanqing was.
