Shen Yingyun had no appetite in the Crown Prince's Mansion.
At the slightest sound outside, she would be so frightened that she dared not make a sound. Ever since she learned that the death - warriors had failed to kill Princess Heyi and instead injured Song Jinyu, she knew that her plan had failed. Originally, she had hoped that through the death of Princess Heyi, the Emperor would implicate Song Jinyu, so that she would be thrown into the prison and have no chance of becoming the mistress of the Prince Yu's Mansion.
Now, what should she do? Her heart was in a turmoil, and she even hoped that Song Jinyu would just die. Jealousy had made Shen Yingyun lose her mind. She had no idea what impact this incident would have on the Crown Prince's Mansion.
When Grand Tutor Shen learned that Shen Yingyun had mobilized the Shen family's death - warriors, he cursed this ignorant daughter in his heart! She was pushing the Shen family into the abyss.
"Go to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
Half an hour later, the Grand Tutor left the Eastern Palace. Looking up at the words "Eastern Palace", he thought to himself that he might as well consider this daughter dead.
The Crown Princess was smiling, gently tapping her fingernails on the table.
"Servants..."
"Go to Concubine Liang's residence!"
Shen Yingyun was silently praying. She had begun to regret her recklessness and was afraid of being implicated. But now she was the Crown Prince's Concubine Liang, and her father had great influence in the court. Maybe she wouldn't be found out!
Just as she was thinking, a maid came in and announced, "The Crown Princess is here!"
Since the last time she had made the Crown Princess miscarry, the once - close sisters had completely fallen out. But the Crown Prince always favored her, which made Shen Yingyun look down on the Crown Princess even more.
"Dear sister, what are you doing?" The Crown Princess was in a very good mood today. She gently walked towards Shen Yingyun.
This was her younger sister, but also the murderer who had killed her child.
Shen Yingyun felt a bit guilty and asked, "It's so late. Sister, are you here to see the Crown Prince?"
The Crown Prince had gone to the Moonlight Tower again today. She hadn't seen him for several days. The Crown Princess, of course, knew that the Crown Prince wasn't there. "I'm here to see you..."
"I heard from Father that you've mobilized the death - warriors recently?" Shen Yingyun was startled, but pretended not to know on the surface. "I don't know what the Crown Princess is talking about."
"It doesn't matter. Father has just disposed of all the death - warriors who participated in the assassination of Princess Heyi!" These words hit Shen Yingyun hard.
The Crown Princess looked down at her with a hint of disdain. "Sister, Father said that you won't see the sun tomorrow!"
"You're lying!"
Shen Yingyun was on the verge of madness. She couldn't believe that her father would really kill her.
The Crown Princess waved her hand, and several strange old women rushed up and grabbed Shen Yingyun's arms. "You're crazy! I'm the Crown Prince's Concubine Liang!"
Shen Yingyun began to be afraid. She pleaded with her sister to spare her. "Sister, please!"
"Slap!"
The Crown Princess slapped her across the face and looked down at her haughtily. "You still have the nerve to plead with me!"
A cold voice sounded. Shen Yingyun only heard the last two words, "Do it!"
From the very beginning, the Crown Princess had known that her younger sister was the real pawn to be sacrificed. Even though the Crown Princess couldn't have children anymore, she could still adopt the children of other concubines. How could the Grand Tutor really value that stupid girl?
The news that the Crown Prince's Concubine Liang had suddenly died of an old illness spread to the Prince Yu's Mansion and the Zhongzhou Prince's Mansion. Zhongli Mingye's eyes became even more terrifying. Song Jinyu still hadn't woken up. Her little face was getting thinner day by day, and even the imperial physicians couldn't wake her up.
"Servants, uproot all the death - warriors in the Shen Mansion!" A strange smile appeared on his face. "By the way, reveal the true identity of the young master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion to the Grand Tutor and the Emperor."
With just a few simple arrangements, a huge storm was about to hit the court. Prince Yu's wrath overturned the entire influence of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Tapping on the desk, Ming Ruyi said with a bitter smile, "It's getting more and more interesting..." He had really underestimated this nephew. He actually knew such a secret.
No one had expected that the young master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion was actually the Emperor's own son.
Today the sky was overcast, just like Zhongli Mingye's mood.
Song Jinyu was still in a coma. Niaoniao served her personally, feeding her an antidote pill every day. Her face had just begun to show a bit of color, but she was still unconscious.
Zhongli Mingye regretted why he had allowed her to come to the capital. If he had kept her in Liuzhou City, maybe they would be chatting happily right now.
He stroked her familiar face, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.
He tucked the quilt in for her. Niaoniao brought the decoction, and Zhongli Mingye fed it to her spoon by spoon. Although she was unconscious, she could still swallow the bitter medicine.
"The imperial physicians said that the poison has been cleared. Why haven't you woken up yet?"
His eyes fell on her fair neck. The previous wound was faint, almost leaving no scar. Now there was a new wound on her back.
Zhongli Mingye hated himself for not protecting her well.
Letting her get injured again and again. How painful it must be! She was so beautiful. She must hate the scars on her body.
"If you don't wake up soon, I'll sleep with you in my arms."
Seeing his depression, Niaoniao stepped forward and said, "My lady has been dealing with various poisons since childhood. This bit of poison can't hurt her."
"Then why hasn't she woken up?" Zhongli Mingye's eyes became even more terrifying. He decided that once Song Jinyu woke up, he would keep her by his side.
Niaoniao comforted him, "She will wake up in a few days."
Hearing these words, Zhongli Mingye finally felt a bit relieved. He secretly made up his mind that he would no longer have any concerns and would never give her a chance to leave him again.
When the Crown Prince saw Shen Yingyun's body, he couldn't believe his eyes! The soft and warm body a few days ago had now become so terrifying that he couldn't help but take several steps back.
"Father - in - law really has good methods!"
Since he heard that rumor, he had begun to doubt the loyalty of Grand Tutor Shen bit by bit.
The Crown Princess didn't dare to look at him. Now there were many spies from the palace in the Eastern Palace. If there was the slightest sign of trouble, the Emperor would surely get the news.
In the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the Grand Tutor's wife was beaten to the brink of death.
"Speak!"
The Grand Tutor's eyes were bloodshot. Since he heard that terrible news, he had come to question his wife.
"Who's the bastard Honghe!?!"
The Grand Tutor's wife opened her swollen eyes and laughed miserably. "You're torturing me like this just because of a rumor!"
"Humph..."
The Grand Tutor was furious. "A rumor? My blood doesn't match Honghe's at all!"
The rumor in the capital was getting stronger and stronger. The Grand Tutor's Mansion had become a laughingstock in the capital. Everyone was saying that the only young master in the Grand Tutor's Mansion wasn't the Grand Tutor's blood.
Some even suspected that the young master was the Emperor's illegitimate son who had been living among the common people.
The Grand Tutor had also heard this rumor. He originally wanted to kill that bastard. He had painstakingly raised him for fifteen years, and he had even participated in the imperial examinations.
Now he had become his greatest shame!
If he was really the Emperor's illegitimate son, the Grand Tutor would never dare to kill this "son".
