"How many Wangyou leaves do they have in their hands?" Chu Han lowered his eyes and asked coldly.
"I can't judge accurately. The quantity is at least ten times more than what I got back." Wu Feng's face was also a little solemn.
He has collected all the Wangyou leaves circulating in the capital city, and not a single one has been left outside. The number of Wangyou leaves in the hands of the General's Mansion is at least ten times his own!
There are so many Wangyou leaves, which can be said to be an incredible quantity.
Wangyou leaves cannot be cultivated, they are all wild, and they still grow in places with extremely harsh environments.
Owning so many Wangyou leaves does not happen overnight.
"Continue to investigate! Find out the source of the Wangyou Leaves in the General's Mansion and the purpose of hoarding the Wangyou Leaves." Chu Han ordered in a deep voice.
Wu Feng looked solemn and said, "Yes."
How could this matter be related to the General's Mansion again? The princess seemed unaware of it.
…
The sky is clear and cloudless.
Xie Yao stayed in the room studying the medicinal properties of Wangyou leaves, feeling a little depressed occasionally.
It has been sunny recently, so she had to block the doors and windows tightly to make them airtight. As a result, she had to open the windows for ventilation after a while, otherwise she felt like she was almost starving of oxygen.
It would be nice if it could be cloudy for a while.
As the weather dictates, an invisible dark cloud comes from nowhere and blocks the sun completely.
Xie Yao was overjoyed and immediately removed the things from the window. Before she could go back to continue her research, Zi Qing trotted over.
"Princess, princess!" Zi Qing ran up to her, quite anxiously, "The concubine has sent someone to summon you to the palace."
Xie Yao frowned.
She just came here a few days ago, and now she is summoned to the palace. When did Concubine Jing like her so much?
Looking up at the big dark clouds, she said to Zi Qing: "Go and prepare clothes."
I don't know if that dark cloud can persist until she comes back from the palace.
"Yes." Ziqing immediately went to prepare.
A quarter of an hour later, Xie Yao simply dressed up and left the palace.
There were people waiting for the concubine at the gate of the palace. When they saw Xie Yao coming out, they pointed at the carriage with a cold face and said, "Get in."
Xie Yao took a look and saw that it was Nanny Liu from the Concubine Jing Palace, whom she had met last time.
As for Grandma Liu's attitude towards her, she was not surprised.
The master had a bad look on her, so the people below would naturally not smile at her.
She glanced at Aunt Liu and was about to get on the carriage when she saw Zi Qing behind her and scolded her, "Which maid is so ignorant of the rules! How could any maid follow the queen's summons?"
reason!"
Ziqing paused and said immediately: "I just sent the princess to the door, and had no intention of entering the palace. It was mama who misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding?" Aunt Liu snorted disdainfully, glanced at Ziqing with contempt, and said to herself: "If I hadn't seen through it, wouldn't I have to lick my face and follow him into the palace? No matter where in the palace, some miscellaneous people can enter.
Yes, you don’t even weigh your own weight first. What a joke!”
After being insulted openly and secretly by Aunt Liu, Ziqing's face became a little stiff, but she did not leave before the princess left.
"I've made it so obvious, why don't you leave? I really don't know if you learned such a thick skin from your master, who is so unruly! You only know how to expect things that don't belong to you!" Aunt Liu said
Then he arrogantly scolded and glanced at Xie Yao.
Ziqing looked angry and was about to retort.
You can say she is, but you are not allowed to say princess!
"Pah!" A slap sounded, and Xie Yao stood in front of Grandma Liu with a stern face.
"You, you dare to hit me!" Grandma Liu touched the beaten face in disbelief, burning with anger.
How dare you beat a daughter-in-law who can't get into the eyes of the concubine Jing?
"A nanny doesn't understand etiquette. As Princess Han, can't I beat her?" Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, her eyes clearly telling others that she was not easy to mess with.
"I don't understand etiquette? Are you saying that Concubine Jing doesn't know how to teach me?" Aunt Liu is very smart. She doesn't believe that Xie Yao dares to be disrespectful to Concubine Jing.
"Pah!" Xie Yao slapped her again, "Of course my mother knows how to teach, but some nuns don't take it seriously and are arrogant in private. Of course I don't need to tell you these things, I also reported them to my mother and concubine.
The mother-in-law makes her own judgment."
After saying that, she no longer went to see Aunt Liu, and after letting Zi Qing go back, she got on the carriage.
Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and did not dare to say anything. Indeed, Xie Yao was the princess and she was a slave.
Of course she didn't dare to hear these words reach the ears of Concubine Jing.
After a moment of hesitation, she frowned, as if someone had cut off a piece of flesh from her body, and asked warmly into the carriage: "Princess Han, if you sit still, I will let the carriage go."
"Yeah." Xie Yao made a faint nasal sound in the carriage, noble and cold.
Ziqing watched the carriage leave before turning back to her home.
Xie Yao entered the palace and passed through layers of guards before arriving outside the imperial concubine's bedroom.
Aunt Liu asked her to wait here and then went in to make the announcement.
She was thinking about the Wangyou leaf that she had studied for medicinal properties before. Because she was leaving in a hurry, she forgot to put the Wangyou leaf into the box.
At this time, the sky is covered with dark clouds, I hope it can stay that way, otherwise another Wangyouye will be wasted.
Soon, Nanny Liu came out and led Xie Yao inside.
"I'll see you soon, Princess Han, please be careful what you say. Your Majesty has been feeling unwell these days, so don't offend her." Aunt Liu warned, but she was no longer as arrogant as before.
Xie Yao glanced at Nanny Liu disapprovingly, without responding, and walked into the palace.
"My daughter-in-law has met her mother-in-law and wishes her well." She saw the concubine in the first place from a distance, and she stood up and saluted.
Concubine Jing looked at her with a cold face, but did not let Xie Yao stand up. She asked coldly: "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"My daughter-in-law doesn't know." Xie Yao's tone was calm and there was no emotion at all.
When Ziqing told her that Concubine Jing had summoned her to the palace, she knew it would not be a good thing and had been prepared early in the morning.
"I don't know? Do you think that I am deaf? Or do you think that the scandal you did will not spread to the palace or reach my ears?" Concubine Jing became even more angry when she saw Xie Yao being so calm.
"My daughter-in-law really doesn't know what the mother-in-law is talking about, so please let the mother-in-law make it clear." Xie Yao continued to remain calm, her eyes moved, and she already had some guesses in her heart.
"Since you are still pretending to be stupid with me, I will ask you directly, why did you take the initiative to seduce Prince Chen?" Concubine Jing's face darkened and she asked in a cold voice.
Xie Yao's eyebrows moved. Shangguan Yue's movements were really fast. Concubine Jing knew the news now.
"I just warned you not long ago. I didn't expect you to take my words to heart so much that you would turn around and do such a scandal. It's really embarrassing to me! Are you forcing me to give in?
King Han divorced you?" Concubine Jing angrily slapped the armrest with an angry look on her face.
