Chapter 38 King Xin
Chapter 38 King Xin
This time, the young eunuch took them not along the same route they came, but a palace road that was farther away from the Imperial Garden and surrounded by high walls.
"Her Majesty said that the concubines in the palace are all in the Imperial Garden admiring the flowers. She was afraid that some people who had never seen the prince and princess would offend them, which would be bad. So she asked me to take you two to a secluded path."
"Thank you for your concern, madam."
Yu Tingwan nodded slightly to the young eunuch, and then looked at the towering palace walls. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, and Huanhuan was not deceiving me.
The women in the palace could only walk around in the huge imperial garden. I don’t know how bored they must be.
People like her probably won't be able to stay here for more than a few days before having to find a way to escape from this cage. Not to mention, those who enter here have to engage in intrigue for a man!
A group of people pushed Shen Chenli to a corner of the palace wall. Yu Tingwan looked at a tightly closed palace door, feeling confused.
"what happened?"
Hearing Shen Chenli's question, Yu Tingwan shook his head, "Nothing."
But she had an inexplicably strange feeling that, except for the cold palace, there should be few palace gates closed during the day.
The place in front of her was not a particularly remote residence, it was just somewhat quiet. Judging from the surroundings, there should be palace servants cleaning it every day. Why would it give her such a desolate feeling?
Moreover, there was no plaque hanging on the door!
Shen Chenli glanced at the palace gate that Yu Tingwan had just stared at and slowly explained to her.
"That's where the second prince, Prince Xin, lives."
"King Xin?"
Seeing the confusion on Yu Tingwan's face, he knew in his heart that she had no contact with other families in the capital before. Although she had a plan, she didn't know much about the specific situation in the capital.
"Prince Xin was born to the Queen. When he was young, he fell off his horse and broke both his legs. The imperial physician was incapable of treating him, so Prince Xin could no longer stand up.
The emperor and the queen felt sorry for Prince Xin, and although he had been given a title and a palace, they still let him live in the palace. "
Yu Tingwan turned around and took another look at the palace gate.
No wonder. I only heard a few words from Qingzhu before, and there was little other information. It turned out that he rarely appeared in Beijing since he was a child.
After the two of them got on the carriage and were far away from the palace gate, Yu Tingwan reached out and took off the bracelet on her hand and the gold hairpin given by the queen from her hair.
Seeing her like this, Shen Chenli asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"
Holding these two priceless pieces of jewelry in his hands, Yu Tingwan's eyes were full of amusement:
“This is really good stuff.”
Looking at the two items in her hands, Shen Chenli nodded: "Given by the Empress Dowager and the Queen, they are naturally very valuable."
Yu Tingwan glanced at him, an ambiguous smile on her lips, and a cold snort escaped from her throat.
Seeing her like this, Shen Chenli also came to his senses and looked at her with deep eyes.
"Princess, don't you mean this jewelry?"
"Your Majesty, I know you are in a difficult situation, but I didn't expect it to come to this. If you refuse to die, then I will let you have no descendants!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the carriage dropped suddenly. Yu Tingwan looked at Shen Chenli, who was emitting coldness, and shook his head slightly.
Is this the legendary temperature drop in one second?
She now understood that this might not be caused by the internal force rumored in the martial arts world. It was really a good thing. It seemed that she had one more thing to do.
"Is there any medicine on here that can make a person sterile?"
Shen Chenli reached out, wrapped the two things in a handkerchief and held them in his hand, then looked at Yu Tingwan hesitantly.
"Are you OK?"
"How could I be in trouble? The hairpin given by the Queen didn't have any added ingredients, but this bracelet was added with a drug that can make people completely sterile.
It affects not only me, but also the men I come into contact with frequently. Moreover, ordinary doctors cannot detect it at all, and even the court officials in the palace may not be able to diagnose it. "
Are these people so impatient? They are really anxious because I didn't die on the battlefield!
"I will have someone put this thing away. When we return home, I will let Yuan show it to you."
She was also implicated by herself. If this kind of thing was not noticed in time, it would cause lifelong harm to her.
Thinking of this, Shen Chenli felt even worse. In order to fight for power, they would rather implicate innocent people and continue.
But thinking about what they have done over the years, Shen Chenli felt that no matter how many people are implicated, as long as they can achieve their goal, they will choose to do so even if rivers of blood flow!
Yu Tingwan shrugged indifferently. These people dared to attack her, no matter what the reason, they must be prepared to pay the price.
"By the way, you said before that His Majesty asked you for help?"
Shen Chenli reminded Yu Tingwan that she had obtained more than just these two pieces of jewelry from the palace.
"Hey, this, our emperor is really generous. He gave me a badge that allows me to enter and leave the palace at will. Isn't he afraid that I will do something in the middle of the night?"
Shen Chenli looked at the golden badge in her hand and instantly understood what the emperor meant, his eyes slightly sank.
"Your Majesty's generosity is always great."
Yu Tingwan nodded, "However, the current emperor still cares about you very much. He even showed concern when you lost your temper in the palace yesterday."
The air in the carriage seemed to be getting thinner and thinner. Yu Tingwan seemed not to feel it and added another sentence.
"Not only that, I was given this badge just for the sake of the prince!"
“How come you see?”
The voice was flat, as if there was no ripple at all. Yu Tingwan shrugged and finished his words.
"If anything happens to the prince in the future, I can take the badge to the palace to report to His Majesty. This shows how much I care about you!"
The atmosphere became increasingly silent. Even Wei Ming and the others who were sitting on the shaft of the cart and driving the car subconsciously slowed down their breathing and dared not make any movement.
The carriage drove into the mansion. Yu Tingwan was about to bow and get off the carriage when he heard a voice behind him.
"Please give me more guidance in the future, Princess."
Yu Tingwan paused, then jumped off the carriage.
Shen Chenli, who was still in the car, heard the footsteps gradually fading away and a sentence.
"Then please reward the meritorious person in the palace. Without him, I would not be able to get such a good thing."
There was no sound from inside the car for a while. Wei Ming watched the princess and her companions walk to the archway and gradually disappear.
He turned around and looked at the carriage door with worried eyes.
Ever since he was bullied by the princess, he no longer dared to have any opinions about her. Moreover, since she was someone that the prince approved of, he naturally didn't dare to say much.
But the princess left just like that, and there was no movement from his own prince, so he was very worried.
"Your Majesty?"
As soon as Wei Ming opened his mouth, he heard a low voice coming from the carriage.
"The princess is right. Of course I have to...well, well, reward you!"
