Chapter 294 Chunyan confesses, the prince's ambition
Shen Lin worked as Mu Li's bodyguard every day, going to the palace and the city wall... repairing the plank road in the open, but secretly marching through Chencang!
They were clearly looking at the terrain and planning an escape route.
However, Ye Qinghuan, who stayed in the Regent's Palace every day, could not fully grasp these things.
She only knew that they were going to steal the Danzhu for her.
This operation must succeed, not fail. Otherwise... I don't know if Mu Li can handle it.
Ye Qinghuan hoped to be detoxified, but was also afraid of suddenly hearing news from the palace that the elixir beads had been stolen and the city was sealed off for a thorough investigation.
As he struggled with this, Ye Qinghuan became thinner and thinner.
Chunyan has also lost weight, even more!
Chunyu was puzzled: "Madam, why are you and Chunyan both so thin? Are you not used to the Western Yi diet?"
"It's a habit." Ye Qinghuan smiled and looked at Chunyan, "Why have you lost weight too? I'll ask the kitchen to stew some bird's nest for you later!"
Bird's nest? Is that something they could eat as slaves?
"Ma'am, no need..."
"Are you feeling unwell? Let the court doctor check you out tomorrow." Ye Qinghuan said again.
"No……"
"Then, who bullied you?" Ye Qinghuan pinched Chunyan's face.
Chunyu said: "Since she came to Xiyi, she has been acting strange. She often stares blankly and can't do her work well..."
Meng paused, and Chunyan's heart was so scared that it rose to her throat.
Ye Qinghuan finally realized that something was wrong and looked at Chunyan with a frown.
Chunyan was so nervous that she pinched the corner of her clothes and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Qinghuan. Was she going to be exposed before she found a chance to do it?
No!
Cousin Chang Ming is still in the hands of the Crown Prince, and his life is in danger...
She had to save her cousin Chang Ming!
But, we can't really harm the general!
How to do?How to do?
Chunyan was panic-stricken and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Chunyan, do you know why I asked you to come to Xiyi?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Chunyan said with a strong nasal tone: "Madam loves her maid..."
"I once had a dream. Because I wasn't strong enough, one of you was pushed into an icy lake and froze to death, and the other was paired with a groom and tortured to death within two years."
"what!!!"
Chunyan was stunned.
So does spring rain.
Although the lady had clearly said it was a dream, just hearing it still made them shudder with fear.
It seems like those things are really going to happen...
"I can't let you stay in Daxia. Even if you return to Shengjing, Old Madam Shen won't tolerate you." Ye Qinghuan said slowly, picked up the teacup and drank slowly.
Chunyan and Chunyu looked at each other.
Finally, Chunyan suddenly knelt down with a plop and burst into tears: "Madam, I have something on my mind..."
"What's the matter?" Ye Qinghuan asked casually.
Neither angry nor pushing, but calm and composed.
It seemed that what Chunyan concealed was of no importance to her.
"Chunyan, tell me now!" Chunyu walked forward angrily and wanted to twist Chunyan, but couldn't bear to do it. "Madam is so good to us. If you have done anything to let Madam down, tell me now! Otherwise, I will be the first one to not forgive you!"
"I haven't done it yet..." Chunyan sobbed, "It was the prince. He asked me to poison the general..."
bang-
The teacup in Ye Qinghuan's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Tea leaves and water splashed on her skirt.
Gao Xun actually took action against Shen Lin in advance?
Absolutely abominable!
"Madam, I dare not. I have never thought of poisoning the general." Chunyan cried and took out the medicine bag hidden close to her body and handed it over. "This is what the prince gave me. I dare not put it anywhere, for fear that someone would take it by mistake and cause trouble..."
Ye Qinghuan took the medicine bag and put it on the table, then motioned to Chunyu to help her up and talk.
"How did the prince threaten you?"
"Chang Ming..."
Ye Qinghuan's expression changed instantly: "Chang Ming is still in Xiguan? Didn't I ask him to go back to Shengjing first?"
"It was intercepted by the prince." Chunyan said.
"It's okay, I will try to save Chang Ming." Ye Qinghuan took a deep breath.
"Although the Shen family army has been handed over to the prince, they were trained by two generations of the Shen family, father and son. The friendship of fighting together and going through life and death together is still there. As long as the general takes action, Chang Ming can be saved." Chunyan spoke quickly.
But it made Ye Qinghuan's expression even more solemn.
Yes, Shen Lin could save Chang Ming with just a little effort.
But how could Gao Xun not think of this method?
He had just taken over the Shen family army, and he felt insecure except for the military token. Those soldiers loyal to Shen Lin were invisible threats.
He was just looking for an opportunity to "clear out the court"!
"Madam..." Chunyan called cautiously.
"How much time will the prince give you?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Chunyan shook her head: "Nothing, just as soon as possible."
"Then delay it. If the prince's men come looking for you, just say you haven't found the opportunity yet. You will do it when you get the chance."
"Yes."
Chunyan wiped her tears and said, "I feel much better after you tell me about this."
"Go and rest, and adjust yourself. Don't let the prince's men see any clues."
"Yes."
Chunyan retreated.
Chunyu cleaned up the broken pieces of teacup on the ground, and seeing Ye Qinghuan was still in deep thought, he said carefully: "Madam, I am an orphan and I don't have anyone I like. The prince didn't threaten me."
"I trust you. But saving Chang Ming is not that simple. I will discuss it with the general when he comes back." Ye Qinghuan said.
Chunyu said hurriedly: "I will take good care of Chunyan."
"Ah."
Ye Qinghuan waved his hand and Chunyu retreated.
She paced back and forth in the room alone, thinking of a solution.
In his previous life, Shen Lin was indirectly killed by Gao Xun, but that was after Gao Xun ascended the throne. Now it is still two years before the emperor's death.
How could it be so far in advance?
"Princess, my wife has just gone to bed, you..."
"What are you afraid of, my servant? I won't eat her. But there is a distinguished guest in the mansion, and I just want to see her."
I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly I heard the sound of Chunyu and Su Baozhu talking outside.
Ye Qinghuan finally came to his senses from his thoughts.
She had lived in the Regent's Palace for many days, but she had only met the Regent's Princess once.
Today... let’s meet!
Ye Qinghuan opened the door and went out, and saluted the jeweled princess: "Greetings to the princess."
"Ah."
Su Baozhu looked at Ye Qinghuan with a strange admiration in her eyes.
Ye Qinghuan felt uncomfortable being stared at by her and asked, "Princess?"
"Let's go and meet the distinguished guest. Wan'er has already gone." Su Baozhu smiled, feeling a little secretly.
Ye Qinghuan secretly cheered himself up: those who can interact with the princess are all noble ladies and ladies, who will be today's distinguished guest?
