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

Su Xi served Luo Qingran when she was still a concubine's daughter in the Grand Commandant's mansion.

She knew everything about Luo Qingran better than anyone else.

Su Huan was one of the few people temporarily assigned to Luo Qingran's household to make a show of her marriage to Prince Shen. Later, she gradually became the most valued person by Luo Qingran's side besides Su Xi.

Luo Qingran picked up the testimony with trembling hands, looking at the clear account on it, which clearly explained that she had brought this upon herself.

Even at the very beginning, she recounted how she killed her half-sister in order to secure a marriage with Prince Shen when she was still in the Grand Commandant's mansion.

It's obvious that Su Xi told them this.

There is nothing about the Imperial Concubine giving her the medicine. Neither of the two maids knew anything about it, whether the Imperial Concubine initially hinted at it or Fang Ruo later gave her the medicine.

Even when Luo Qinghou asked Su Xi to administer the drug, he did not tell Su Xi the origin of the drug.

Therefore, in her testimony, she was the one who orchestrated all of these events.

Luo Qingran seemed to realize at this moment that she had probably been fooled by the imperial concubine.

She simply believed that the Imperial Concubine disliked her but treated her son, Prince Shen, very well, so the medicine she gave him was meant to stimulate him to regain his virility.

Therefore, Luo Qingran was only worried that if the drug could not be effective, she would have to act as if it had been successful. In any case, under the influence of the drug, the Prince of Shen would most likely not remember whether it had happened or not. She just needed to find someone else to get pregnant, and that would be foolproof.

Luo Qingran had a good plan, but she had no idea why things had turned out this way.

She had tried the yellow wine before, and it didn't make her drunk at all, and she hadn't put anything in the jar of wine she made for herself.

Luo Qingran's eyes were filled with gloom.

The evidence is conclusive; there's no point in saying anything more.

Her gaze swept across the Imperial Concubine's face, and only now did she seem to see some things clearly.

This Imperial Concubine always treated her and Princess Ling differently. She only had the opportunity to marry Prince Shen because of her humble origins and the need to bring good luck to the prince. Therefore, the Imperial Concubine, as her mother-in-law, disliked her.

Now it seems that the Imperial Concubine not only disliked her, but also disliked Prince Shen.

"Let's hand it over to the Imperial Clan Court," Prince Shen said, stepping forward as a plea.

"You... sigh!" The Emperor sighed deeply, as if dissatisfied with Prince Shen's soft heart.

The matter of sending it to the Imperial Clan Court involves only Luo Qingran in handling it. If he were to deal with it now, the entire Grand Commandant's family would inevitably be implicated.

But when the Emperor looked at Prince Shen, who was keeping his head down and whose expression was not visible, he thought of what Luo Qingran had just said. This child had actually endured such things without saying a word. No wonder he always seemed to have no desires.

He still thought it was a way to temporarily avoid the limelight.

The emperor was filled with mixed feelings, and for once, he felt a pang of guilt towards his son.

"Then let's do it your way." The Emperor finally gave in.

A large group of people arrived with great fanfare, but left quietly. Even the usually smiling King Ling didn't utter a single word today.

The Third Prince and the Seventh Prince greeted Prince Shen in a hesitant manner and then ran off.

The Imperial Concubine seemed lost in thought, managing only a forced smile at Prince Shen before following the Emperor.

Although Luo Qingran's accusations against her today sounded unreasonable and lacked evidence, they still had a negative impact, and she lost her usual pretense.

After everyone had left, only Xie Qingyu, Changfeng, Changliu, and Xinping, who had reappeared at some point, remained in the courtyard.

"You've all worked hard today. Xinping and Changfeng, you two go and keep an eye on things in the Princess's courtyard in the backyard. Make sure the Imperial Guards don't cause any trouble when they bring people in," Prince Shen instructed.

Xinping and Changfeng accepted the order and left, while Changliu also made arrangements for the servants who had just arrived at the garden after hearing the news.

Everyone in the courtyard went out, and suddenly it became quiet, leaving only two people.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the courtyard with a clear light.

"Was this a setup you orchestrated or a calculated move?" Xie Qingyu wasn't oblivious to the fact that Prince Shen was definitely involved, but she didn't know to what extent.

"I'm not so desperate as to risk my dignity as a man to set up such a scheme," King Shen said with a self-deprecating smile.

In this scheme, all he did from beginning to end was to coldly observe how his mother, the princess, used her to gradually ruin his health.

Even knowing that his health was already poor, they still insisted on administering a strong dose of medicine out of concern.

Seeing Shen Wang like this, Xie Qingyu suddenly stepped forward, stretched out her arms and looked at Shen Wang, "It's a bit cold."

Prince Shen stared intently at Xie Qingyu, then pulled her into his arms and buried his head in her shoulder.

Xie Qingyu gently patted his back, conveying silent comfort.

Neither of them spoke, but at this moment, no further words were needed.

The matter passed that night, and no one knew that from that night onward, the Prince Shen's residence no longer had a Princess Shen.

Although royal secrets cannot be revealed to outsiders, there were simply too many people who witnessed this event.

Although the Imperial Clan Court ultimately concluded that Luo Qingran had accidentally fallen into the hot spring and died, the garden was small to begin with, and the matter had already caused quite a stir.

Especially the next morning, the Seventh Prince had a large amount of tonics and mutton delivered from the east, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.

The person who brought the gift was clearly aware of the rumors that 'King Shen is incapable,' and he was very careful when delivering the gifts, not daring to say a word more than necessary.

Following that, the Third Prince sent similar items, and even the Prince of Ling sent some over.

Of course, the most impressive thing was what the emperor sent in the afternoon, along with two imperial physicians who specialized in this field and rarely appeared in public. The emperor had sent people back to the capital overnight to fetch them, and they had only just arrived.

When others heard the rumors, they were initially skeptical and wanted to secretly find out more information.

Seeing the actions of the emperor and the princes, there was no need to inquire further; the matter was already confirmed.

For a moment, the other relatives were undecided. It was not appropriate to visit someone suffering from this kind of illness, but since the emperor had sent gifts, it seemed inappropriate for them not to reciprocate. They had no choice but to come and find out what was going on.

Some people wanted to see a show, to see how the once majestic Prince Shen was now unable to hold his head high, and even living in a garden like Chunhui Garden.

It cannot be humane.

I was destined not to sit in that position.

Unfortunately, from that day onward, King Shen remained secluded at home.
