Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

"Indeed, she's intelligent." Prince Shen grasped the delicate hand that lingered on his chest. "Does it feel good?"

"Not bad, thank you for your generosity, Your Highness." Xie Qingyu said as she tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.

Sensing her strength, Prince Shen gripped her hand even tighter.

"They're all trying to seduce me, why don't you give it a try?" Prince Shen's eyes held a hint of amusement as he watched Xie Qingyu's every move.

Xie Qingyu stared at Prince Shen without speaking, her eyes holding an indescribable meaning.

It wasn't until King Shen, under such gazes, suppressed the smile that didn't reach his eyes and gradually became expressionless.

"What is your mission?" King Shen asked softly.

"Take good care of His Highness and wish him a speedy recovery." Xie Qingyu gave a standard smile, the kind that comes from the uniform training provided in the palace.

"It's pretty fake," Shen Wang commented as he released Xie Qingyu's restraints.

Xie Qingyu didn't say anything. This person was cunning and scheming, and she had been tested from the very first day she arrived.

Judging from his reaction, he probably already knew all about their backgrounds before they even arrived at the Prince's residence.

Not just its apparent origins...

"What does Your Highness want me to do by keeping me here?" Xie Qingyu looked directly into Prince Shen's eyes, her gaze showing none of the timidity she usually displayed.

"It's so convenient to talk to smart people." Prince Shen smiled and looked towards the door. "Please watch a show first."

The wind at the door stirred, but Xie Qingyu didn't notice anything. When she looked away, the person who had been lazily leaning against the bed was now lying back down on the bed and had even grabbed her clothes again.

Xie Qingyu: "..."

"Oh, I almost forgot, I need you to act with me for a while first." Prince Shen tugged at her sleeve and closed his eyes again.

Xie Qingyu looked at the sleeve that had been grabbed and simply adjusted to a more comfortable position.

Before long, the sounds outside grew louder as they approached.

This time, although the noise was loud, it was not chaotic. Just as Changfeng was about to bow, he was interrupted by the person who came in. The bright yellow figure at the front made people realize who it was in an instant.

Xie Qingyu hurriedly bowed, but the man didn't even glance at her and went straight to the bedside.

Xie Qingyu wished she could hide behind her, but her sleeve was grabbed and she had nowhere to retreat.

Fortunately, she felt her sleeve being loosened in the next instant, and taking advantage of this opportunity, she immediately stepped aside.

Even though the large group of people following behind noticed her movement, no one made a sound; all their attention was focused on the person on the bed who was slowly opening her eyes.

"Fifth Prince, Fifth Prince, how are you feeling?" Seeing the Emperor's concern for Prince Shen, several princes behind him silently gritted their teeth.

“Father…” Prince Shen’s voice was weak but filled with filial piety. The next moment, as if he had just woken up and seen the face of the person in front of him, he coughed violently, “Cough cough… I thought I was dreaming.”

As he spoke, the person on the bed struggled to get up and bow.

"At this time, let's not stand on ceremony. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing!" At this moment, the emperor looked at Prince Shen with the eyes of a father who truly cared for his son.

“Father still loves me the most…” Prince Shen smiled with delight.

The emperor's eyes flickered, but he ultimately said nothing.

"Bring the person up," the emperor said, turning to the outside.

No sooner had he finished speaking than guards brought two people over.

Xie Qingyu looked closely and saw that it was Xinping and Granny Feng.

"It's good that you're awake. Listen to what's going on for yourself!" The emperor said this in a fit of anger. Apart from a few princes, the remaining guards and servants knelt down upon hearing this.

"Cough cough..." Prince Shen gave a wry smile. "Is it related to me fainting?"

"What do you mean you fainted? You were poisoned! How could you let someone openly poison you every day? I think you really need to take better care of your household!" The emperor's anger remained unabated.

Prince Shen's face showed a look of fear, "It is my fault for not managing the household properly..."

The emperor interrupted him directly, "You've been ill, so this has nothing to do with you. Let's first see how these two people openly poisoned someone right under our noses."

With a calm expression, she recounted how she subtly poisoned the Prince Shen's food each day while arranging his meals.

Prince Shen was recuperating, and Luo Qingran from the backyard would often send him some soup. She was always the one who went to collect the soup, and she would put the medicine into the sugar.

“It was those soups…” King Shen seemed incredulous.

Luo Qingran knelt down, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't arranged to send soup to her every day, she wouldn't have had the chance to do it."

"It's not your fault. You were just concerned about the Fifth Prince's health." The Emperor waved his hand dismissively, telling her to get up.

Luo Qingran was helped to her feet by her maid, her legs still weak, as if she was still shaken.

"And what about Granny Feng?" Prince Shen's gaze fell on the woman who was also being forced to kneel on the ground.

"If I remember correctly, Granny Feng was your wet nurse, wasn't she?"

“Yes, she would never harm me,” said Prince Shen.

"Womanly compassion!" The emperor seemed somewhat disappointed. "I won't harm you, but you're getting senile."

"You tell me."

When Granny Feng spoke, her face showed a pleading expression.

Listen carefully, and you'll understand why the Emperor said she was senile.

She was the one who exposed Xin Jing's poisoning, and in fact, she was the first to discover it.

However, the reason she hadn't revealed it was because Xin Jing had misled her into believing it was medicine for Prince Shen's health, but it was just a folk remedy, so she dared not reveal it openly.

The reason why such outrageous words could be believed by Granny Feng was that Xin Jing expressed that she wanted to become Prince Shen's concubine, so she was wholeheartedly trying to make him get better quickly.

"Granny, you're confused... cough cough." Prince Shen probably didn't expect Granny Feng to give such a reason.

"Hmph, if it weren't for her negligence, my son wouldn't have suffered like this." The emperor looked around. "These two people are here for you to deal with. From now on, you should thoroughly investigate this courtyard to see if there are any more people with such malicious intentions."

After the emperor finished speaking, someone came to take Xin Jing and Granny Feng away.

“Father…” Prince Shen interrupted, “Your subject has a request that may be considered impolite.”

Prince Shen looked at Xin Jing and Granny Feng on the ground, his eyes filled with pity.

"Don't tell me you're going to plead for them."

“Granny Feng was just being overly concerned. Besides, it was she who exposed the person who poisoned me this time. Considering her dedication over the years… cough cough…” Prince Shen coughed so hard that he could barely continue.

Seeing his state, the emperor softened somewhat. "In that case, I'll leave it to you to deal with, but you absolutely cannot keep him in your residence."

"Thank you, Father."

"You lot, come with me. No one is allowed to disturb the Fifth Prince until he recovers!" the Emperor said, and the princes all agreed.
