Chapter 362 Mu Wanqing visits King Wu Cheng
Concubine De looked at Shen Ruzhou's retreating back and clenched her back teeth.
Too arrogant. She used to be a mother-in-law. In order to keep the so-called family scandal from being publicized, no matter how rude Shen Ruzhou was, she would always try to reconcile him.Now that they are divorced, what qualifications does Shen Ruzhou, a lower cousin, have to show off in front of her.
The more Concubine De thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned around and ordered to Nanny Wu behind her: "Go and bring Shen Ruzhou. She is so arrogant and arrogant. She has committed this crime several times. I will definitely punish her in accordance with the palace rules."
"Yes." Nanny Wu accepted the order. Before she could take two steps out, she saw a palace maid running over in a hurry and stopped her.
The palace maid saluted Concubine De and reported respectfully: "See you, Your Majesty, King Wu Cheng invites you to go to the side hall to speak."
Although Concubine De hated Shen Ruzhou, she cared more about Xiao Chenyan. She didn't care about arguing with Shen Ruzhou anymore and immediately walked to the side hall.
After entering the palace gate, she saw Xiao Chenyan leaning on the soft pillow and drinking the decoction. Her complexion had recovered a lot, and her hanging heart was relieved.
Concubine De walked to the bed and sat down. She was still angry when she thought about being contradicted by Shen Ruzhou just now. She let out a long sigh and said, "I really regret letting you marry Shen Ruzhou. She is just a shrew. She has no rules at all." . I originally thought that since she was born in the General's Palace, marrying her would get help from the General's Palace, but ever since she got married, her mother's family has been as dead as ever and has never helped you in the slightest."
Xiao Chenyan didn't pay attention to Concubine De's complaints. Although he had not been liked by Emperor Yong'an since he was a child, he had never thought of relying on anyone. The powerful position he had today was earned by his own efforts.
"Concubine, don't say such things again in the future. I have never wanted to rely on a woman or the power of my mother's family behind a woman. I will fight for what I want with my own ability."
He, Xiao Chenyan, never relies on others, and he even disdains relying on women to gain power.
After hearing this, Concubine De's eyes darkened. Thinking of her humble background, she couldn't help but feel sad, "Chen Yan, my mother-in-law is useless, my family background is not good, my natal family has no power, and I am not favored. In this harem, I can't help you by speaking softly, it's my mother-in-law who is dragging you down."
Xiao Chenyan didn't expect that his words would cause such a misunderstanding to Concubine De. He was about to explain, but Concubine De looked miserable and kept crying.
"I am alone in the harem and helpless. After I gave birth to you, I was afraid that you would be snatched away by other concubines. I was cautious in my words and deeds. I always flattered the queen and the noble concubine, so I reluctantly kept you by my side to educate you. Is it easy for me? I have lived on thin ice for so many years, not daring to offend anyone, and living among the various forces in the harem, struggling to survive."
Concubine De recalled the past, full of bitterness and suffering.
Xiao Chenyan naturally knew this, so he kept working hard and secretly accumulating strength. He wanted to reach the highest position and let everyone look up to him.
Seeing Concubine De's tears streaming down her face, Xiao Chenyan felt extremely guilty and quickly explained, "Concubine, I made a mistake and made you sad. From now on, you don't have to look at anyone's face to live your life. I will be there for everything. , I will never let my mother and concubine suffer any injustice."
Hearing this, Concubine De was very pleased. She picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears. Seeing the pride on Xiao Chenyan's face, from now on, she could be more valuable than her mother.
She gently held Xiao Chenyan's hand, as if she had returned to the time when mother and son were so intimate. If it hadn't been for marrying Shen Ruzhou, there would have been so much resentment between mother and son. Shen Ruzhou was the one who caused trouble.
"This Shen Ruzhou, if it weren't for the fact that she knows some medical skills and can detoxify you, she would have been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. Regardless of whether she is the real culprit behind the scenes, just because you had an accident in the General Mansion, she Damn it."
"Mother, please stop talking. Shen Ruzhou will not poison me. There are many people here, so be careful that the walls have ears."
Although the existing evidence points to Shen Ruzhou, Xiao Chenyan knows very well that there is someone else who wants to poison him, so he has secretly sent Jun Wu to investigate, and there should be news soon.
Mu Wanqing originally entered the palace to pay respects to the queen. She happened to pass by the Taihe Palace and wanted to come in to see Xiao Chenyan. She didn't want to hear Xiao Chenyan talking to Concubine De as soon as she entered the courtyard.
She was secretly frightened. She never expected that Xiao Chenyan's poison would be cured by Shen Ruzhou, so the antidote she left would be of no use.
After planning for so long and putting in so much effort, Shen Ruzhou finally got the advantage. No, she had to think of a countermeasure.
Mu Wanqing twisted the handkerchief with her slender fingers, a fierce light in her eyes.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Nanny Wu walking over with refreshments.
Aunt Wu saluted her according to the rules and asked respectfully: "Princess Yu is here to visit King Wu Cheng, right? Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"
Hearing this, Mu Wanqing quickly calmed down her expression, put on a gentle smile, and said politely: "I heard voices inside, and I'm afraid that King Wu Cheng has guests, so I don't dare to disturb you. I'm sorry to bother you, mama. Report it to me."
"Princess Yu, you're welcome. Concubine De is inside. Just follow me in." After saying that, Mother Wu invited Mu Wanqing to enter the palace with her.
Concubine De did not like Prince Yu, but she had always liked Princess Yu. She lamented more than once that it would be great if Mu Wanqing was her daughter-in-law.
Seeing Mu Wanqing come in, Concubine De invited her to sit down on the couch.Mu Wanqing knelt down to thank Concubine De in return, and sat down on the soft couch next to Concubine De.
She looked at Xiao Chenyan with a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water. In just a moment, her eyes turned red and she shed crystal tears.
"How is King Wu Cheng's health? I heard that the poison is so tight that it will flow all over the body with the blood. It is very torturous when it attacks."
"It has only been a few days, and King Wu Cheng is so haggard. He is really suffering." Mu Wanqing cried so hard that I felt pity for him.Her words were full of concern and distress for Xiao Chenyan, which made Concubine De feel more fond of her.
"My health is fine, you don't have to worry." Xiao Chenyan comforted me warmly.
Mu Wanqing's eyes were watery, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. She was so delicate that anyone who saw her couldn't help but feel pity for her.
"I wonder if the person who poisoned him has been caught? He is so vicious, we must not let him go lightly."
Xiao Chenyan has always had great trust in Mu Wanqing. When she asked about the investigation status of the case, he told her bluntly, "The regent is already investigating, and I believe there will be results soon."
Mu Wanqing knew that Bei Xiuyan and Xiao Chenyan were not going to deal with each other, so he deliberately mobilized, "The regent is indeed brave and unrivaled in leading the troops in the war, but investigating cases is not his specialty, and I don't know if he can find out the real culprit."
