In this room, Situ Xuan was suffering and screaming under the whip. In the other room, the young eunuch arranged by Aunt Zhao arrived at the Prince's Mansion. From a distance, he saw the uncle Guo standing outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion holding a thorn stick.
He was startled and did not dare to look any further. He stepped forward and said to the guard: "I have come here with an order and want to see the Crown Princess."
The guard did not receive the order and did not dare to make the decision without permission. He only said: "Whose order is this?"
Whether it is an imperial edict or an imperial edict, you need to ask clearly before you go to the Crown Princess and reply.
"The Queen's decree."
Upon hearing this, the guard glanced at Situ Lingyi, who was holding the thorn tree high, and said to the eunuch: "Wait a moment."
One of the guards turned around and entered the gate, and told the matter truthfully to the steward. The steward nodded and turned around to go to Qifeng Hall.
Yun Zishu was sitting in the pavilion of Qifeng Palace, drinking tea with Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang. When she heard this, she turned around and said, "The Queen sent someone here?"
The stewardess replied respectfully: "That's what the little eunuch outside said."
Yun Zishu held on to the tea cup and quietly looked at the scenery outside the pavilion: "Let him come over."
"yes."
"The Queen's decree?" Princess Wuyang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What does Her Majesty the Crown Princess think her decree is this time?"
"If the queen could realize the seriousness of the situation, she would probably lower her voice and retreat in order to advance." Huangfu Chuchu took a sip of scented tea, frowned and muttered, "The queen has been the master of the palace for so many years, she should be able to realize
The seriousness of the matter, right?"
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "I don't know the queen well enough, so I can't predict her attitude."
The young eunuch was quickly able to enter the Prince's Mansion and was led into the garden pavilion of Qifeng Palace. "I see you, Your Highness, the Crown Princess. May your Highness be blessed and safe."
The three people's eyes fell on him, and Yun Zishu asked: "Why did the queen ask you to come here?"
The young eunuch repeated the words that Aunt Zhao asked him to convey, and lowered his head respectfully and fearfully: "The Queen said that even the king of a country needs to be concerned about the evaluation of the people in the world. The Queen is willing not to interfere with the prince's affairs from now on, no.
Let the prince take the blame for being unfilial to his mother-in-law."
"She does know how to handle me." Yun Zishu chuckled, "It's a pity that these conditions are not enough for me to let Situ Wan go."
The little eunuch was frightened. The princess was really bold and she was so tough when negotiating terms with the queen.
"I feel that Situ Wan is not worthy of Huangfu Lingfeng." Yun Zishu lowered her eyes and looked at her delicate white jade fingers, her voice was so light that she could not hear her emotions, "Go back and tell the queen that Situ Wan is narrow-minded and selfish.
, has a vicious and greedy nature and is not worthy of a good marriage."
The young eunuch's face paled, "Touch...Crown Princess, Miss Situ is the Queen's niece."
She so blatantly belittled and retaliated against Miss Situ, wasn't she afraid that the Queen would take revenge?
"What do I say, how do you reply." Yun Zishu said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about the rest."
"yes."
"Since the queen wants me to see her concession, she naturally needs to show some sincerity." Yun Zishu said calmly, "Situ Wan is not young anymore, and her marriage cannot be delayed any longer. Situ Wan's husband-in-law
The candidate determines when Situ Xuan can be released from prison."
The little eunuch was so horrified that he knocked his head to the ground: "The Crown Princess..."
He swore that in his entire life, he had never seen such a bold woman, openly threatening the queen?
She...she...even if she is the Crown Princess, this is still treasonous, right?
"Did you hear clearly what I just said?"
"Listen... listen clearly..." the little eunuch trembled, "I must answer truthfully."
"Go back."
"Yes." The little eunuch warned cautiously before leaving, "Uncle Guo is waiting outside with a wattle stick in his hands. The Crown Princess..."
"He is willing to support himself, so what does this have to do with this Crown Princess?" Yun Zishu's voice became more and more indifferent and distant, "It was his children who made mistakes. Although the uncle is not good at teaching his children, this Crown Princess will not use thorns to punish an elder.
, what kind of words will be spread out?"
"Yes, yes..." The little eunuch didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly knelt down and left.
His original intention was to tell the Crown Princess that Uncle Guo personally came to plead guilty. As a junior, should he give face to his elders?
But he is a smart man and knows how to speak, so he can naturally understand the words of his noble master.
The princess clearly knew that her uncle was outside, but she just didn't want to pay attention to it.
The little eunuch left quickly.
Huangfu Chuchu was thoughtful: "Who does the Crown Princess want Situ Wan to marry?"
"Who Situ Wan marries is the queen's decision, and I have no right to interfere." Yun Zishu held the tea cup and took a sip slowly, "If the queen is sensible, she will naturally betroth her to a suitable husband.
Candidate."
Princess Wuyang shook her head: "She is worthy of being a crown princess, she is really admirable."
He handed over the decision-making power to the queen and asked the queen to betroth her niece. Whether the betrothal candidate was good or bad directly determined when Situ Xuan would be released from prison.
It has to be said that this move taught Situ Wan a lesson - after all, Situ Wan is really good at being a monster, and she deserves any consequences.
It also made the queen unable to express her pain, and she had to grit her teeth to choose a "suitable" husband for her niece.
You can also try to drive a wedge between the aunt and niece.
Kill three birds with one stone.
"My eldest brother wants to break off the engagement but hasn't spoken yet. If this happens, wouldn't it bring all the hatred of the Situ family onto the Crown Princess?" Huangfu Chuchu frowned, "Will they take revenge?"
Yun Zishu leaned in front of the fence and looked at the blue sky in the distance: "The Situ family is like grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump around for much longer."
As for hostility.
She just felt that every grievance had its own owner, and Situ Wan had nothing to do with the Huangfu family in the first place, so there was no need to transfer the Situ family's hostility to Huangfu Lingfeng.
Besides, it's not worth breaking off the engagement and ruining one's reputation because of such a woman.
Huangfu Chuchu's eyebrows stretched and he was silent for a moment: "There are many marriageable men in the imperial capital, but not many are suitable for Situ Wan..."
Yun Zishu said nothing.
The queen will definitely find the right one.
Yun Zishu's words were brought to the Queen. The Queen sat with a stiff face and a hand slowly clenched tightly, so hard that it almost destroyed the exquisite armor.
Yun Zishu wants Wan'er to never turn over in this life?
"Your Majesty." Aunt Zhao stood aside with a solemn look on her face, "The Crown Princess is determined this time..."
"When has she not been determined?" the queen said angrily, "This vicious woman is willing to torture Wan'er to death!"
Aunt Zhao was shocked, she lowered her eyes and remained silent, but she couldn't help but retort in her heart. It was clear that Situ Wan wanted to torture the Crown Princess to death time and time again.
It's just that Situ Wan's skills are not as good as others, which is why he ended up in the situation where he was at the mercy of others.
