Chapter 216: Has the eldest lady shown off enough?
Although Shen Zhikang repeatedly told himself that he didn't need to worry about it, his current frustration was only temporary, and he would surely become a high-ranking official and be admired by everyone in the future.
But it is impossible to say that I really don't care or blame Song Yunxi at all.
If she hadn't repeatedly interfered, how could he have fallen from the position of the Prince of Ningguo to the Prince of Ning'an, being talked about behind people's backs and having to look at other people's faces at every turn?
So this time, he did not stop Concubine Shen's hysteria.
"Ah……"
Song Yunxi sneered at Shen Zhikang: "It seems that the imperial concubine has spoken the mind of Master Shen!"
Shen Zhikang seems to be open-minded, but in fact he is extremely sinister and narrow-minded. Song Yunxi doesn't believe that he would not care about being demoted at all.
Shen Zhikang's eyes were cold: "Miss, do you mean that I shouldn't care?"
Song Yunxi smiled brightly: "Shen Shizi is still the Shizi, he hasn't lost anything, right?"
Shen Zhikang was so angry at her careless attitude.
If he had not broken off the engagement with her and married her, he wondered if she would still be so indifferent to him as she is now.
Suddenly, Shen Zhikang came up with an idea that even scared himself: marry Song Yunxi.
If he married her and let her be neglected, a woman in the inner house who was not respected and loved by her husband, I wonder if she would still be as proud and bright as she is now.
He just wanted to take away all her dazzling light and destroy all her pride.
Concubine Shen roared: "How can it be the same?"
They are both Miss Song. Can the eldest daughter of the Song family be compared with the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion?
Shen Zhikang knew that it was impossible to do anything to Song Yunxi, so he stopped Concubine Shen from arguing with her.
He just glanced at the mess on the ground of Linhua Palace and asked: "Has the eldest lady shown off enough?"
"Is the prince ordering us to leave?"
Song Yunxi smiled and said, "If the Imperial Concubine hadn't insisted that I come to pay my respects, I really wouldn't bother coming to this Linhua Palace!"
After saying this, when she was about to leave, she stopped and looked meaningfully at Song Muxue, who had been ignored by her. Her eyes that could see through everything revealed all her thoughts.
"The Imperial Concubine has never liked Miss Song, but recently the two have become much closer. I heard that Miss Song often goes to the Linhua Palace in the palace!"
After saying this, he walked away in a cool manner without caring how ugly the expressions of Concubine Shen and Song Muxue were.
Of course she knew what was going on since she made the medicine herself.
Ye Xuanrong's mind and eyes are filled with Song Muxue. I guess he has been asking for her a lot these days!
It seems that Ye Xuanrong has made a big fuss, otherwise, considering Concubine Shen's disgust for Song Muxue, how could she allow her to enter the palace every day and risk being discovered by Shen Zhikang?
The two people who had had physical contact were alone facing each other in Linhua Palace all day long. Song Yunxi didn't believe that nothing happened.
Shen Zhikang was a smart man. Song Yunxi's words, coupled with the evasive attitude of Concubine Shen and Song Muxue, made him suspicious.
Concubine Shen knew she couldn't hide it, and when she was about to confess to Shen Zhikang, Song Muxue took the lead and said, "My sister gave the Sixth Prince an extremely powerful mind-disturbing drug. The Concubine knew that I knew Divine Doctor Deng, so she summoned me to the palace to see if I could invite Divine Doctor Deng to treat the Sixth Prince."
"A few days ago, Divine Doctor Deng finally agreed to come with me to the palace to treat the Sixth Prince. However, because he needs acupuncture to remove poison every day, Divine Doctor Deng is not convenient to come to the palace anymore, so he thought of teaching me acupuncture and letting me treat the Sixth Prince."
Shen Zhikang looked at Concubine Shen suspiciously: "Aunt, is this true?"
Song Muxue's lie didn't sound flawless, and Shen Zhikang heard that Doctor Deng had gone to South Vietnam, so he couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to confirm.
So Concubine Shen answered reluctantly, "Indeed, Mu Xue has been giving Xuan Rong acupuncture for several days, but... but the effect is minimal."
"The Imperial Concubine knows that you are very busy recently and doesn't want to distract you. She also didn't tell you because she was afraid that you would worry and it would affect your work."
Concubine Shen wiped away her tears at the right time: "Xuanrong is like an ignorant child now. He only thinks Muxue is his sister and always wants his sister to feed him before he eats. I dare not let anyone know about this completely messed up child's mind..."
Concubine Shen sighed with concern: "The emperor asked him to leave the palace and go to his own residence to recuperate. I have been lying to him and hiding Xuanrong in Linhua Palace. I just hope he can get better soon."
Shen Zhikang seemed to understand a little: "So, Auntie wants Song Yunxi to take out the antidote today?"
"That's right. I am really anxious, otherwise I would never have provoked that bitch."
At this time, the Sixth Prince rushed out from the inner room, hugged Song Muxue's arm and shook it back and forth: "Sister, eat candy... I want to eat candy..."
Seeing Ye Xuanrong's completely childish behavior, Shen Zhikang's doubts disappeared, and he frowned and said, "The Sixth Prince must not be seen in this state by anyone."
Otherwise, those court officials who supported him would probably immediately change their stance and support Ye Xuanqi.
Concubine Shen was even more sad: "But we can't get the antidote, and acupuncture has little effect. How long can he keep it a secret like this?"
Song Muxue stepped forward to comfort him at the right time: "Don't be sad, Madam. Didn't Divine Doctor Deng say that the poison in the Sixth Prince's body can be completely removed with acupuncture for another half a month."
She gave Concubine Shen a suggestive look where Shen Zhikang couldn't see, and the latter understood what she meant, so she followed her words and said, "In this case, I'll have to trouble you."
Song Yunxi coaxed the Sixth Prince, who was in a tantrum like a child, to sleep, and then left the palace with Shen Zhikang.
After they left, Ye Xuanrong, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
Concubine Shen patted her chest in shock and said, "Fortunately, Song Muxue made up a story about Dr. Deng to get away with it. Otherwise, you two cousins would have become enemies today."
When he said this, the look he gave Ye Xuanrong was full of resentment and disapproval.
She just couldn't understand. There were so many noble ladies in the capital, and she thought the candidates she had chosen for him as the prince's consort were all picked out of hundreds. But why did he not like her and was so determined to be with Song Muxue?
If it was someone else, it would not be impossible to give her the position of concubine, but it was Song Muxue.
She knew everything about Shen Zhikang and Song Muxue since they were young. Now she was the concubine that the emperor had decided to give to Shen Zhikang. How could a prince compete with others for a concubine? If this got out, it would be a joke.
The key point is that the person is none other than her own nephew, his cousin!
She absolutely cannot bear to see the brothers turning against each other!
Ye Xuanrong was also covered in cold sweat. If he hadn't been quick-witted and pretended to have a child's mentality, it would have been difficult to dispel his cousin's suspicion.
