Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Weak Legs (Monthly Ticket 320 Extra Update)

The forehead of Princess NanAn was slightly swollen and red, hard to notice without close inspection.

She sounded so certain, it probably wasn’t a lie.

Additionally, Su Jin dared to bring up the Duke Zhen Mansion in front of Princess Shouning, they all knew about it.

Therefore, letting wasps sting people wasn’t something shocking.

However——

How could there be a wasp nest in the palace?

Could it be that the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion brought wasps into the palace with her?

The wasps made their way to Yongning Palace and stung the Empress Dowager, how did she and her maid avoid disaster?

Chu Shun looked at Xie Jingchen.

Xie Jingchen, "..."

Don’t look at him.

He didn’t know.

Princess NanAn also looked at Xie Jingchen. If she hadn’t realized he was there, she almost let her son cut ties with him just now.

The Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion was simply someone you couldn’t afford to provoke, so what if a bit of money was extorted, life was more important.

But she was anxious to have her son return to the mansion, fearing something might happen at Prince NanAn Mansion, yet he followed along, his loyalty moved Princess NanAn.

It was hard on him, even when shopping, he would get robbed, while the Duke Mansion and Old Master Xie were at the border, Princess Nanzhang had control over the Duke Zhen Mansion, leaving him at the mercy of the female bandit, suffering greatly...

Princess NanAn showed sympathy, only to find out that the person she sympathized with became healthier after marrying the female bandit to avert misfortune.

Princess NanAn, "...."

Seeing that there was nothing more, Xie Jingchen took his leave, "If there’s nothing else, then I’ll return to the Duke Mansion first."

Chu Shun and a few others also took their leave.

Prince NanAn saw them off from the mansion.

Just as they stepped out, Chu Shun patted Xie Jingchen’s shoulder, "Big brother, when you see our sister-in-law, put in some good words for us, and do persuade her to treat us well."

Xie Jingchen, "...!!!"

Seriously.

Had it not been for his good patience, he would have almost spit blood.

Inside, Princess NanAn’s face reddened.

These little rascals!

Roughhousing together, daring to say anything, but to urge Young Master Xie to sweet-talk for them, this was a bit too much.

Quickly, Chu Shun begged for mercy.

Xie Jingchen grabbed his hand and twisted it slightly, causing Chu Shun to cry out in pain, "Big brother, I’m sorry! I was just joking!"

Xie Jingchen let go of his hand.

Chu Shun saw his face green with anger, his shoulders shook.

A few bosom friends chatted at the door for a moment, then Prince NanAn approached.

Princess Nanan saw him and asked, "Father, are you going out?"

Prince NanAn glanced at Xie Jingchen and said, "There’s such a big mess in the palace, I have to go in and have a look."

The servant brought the horse over, Prince NanAn mounted it swiftly, and rode off quickly.

Prince NanAn’s words were stuck in his throat, only after Prince NanAn left did he finally manage, "What big trouble, isn’t it just wasps stinging people?"

Chu Shun sighed, "You can see it as wasps storming the palace, which is a huge matter."

"Even storming the palace wouldn’t necessarily harm the Empress Dowager and the Empress," the Heir of Marquis Beining said earnestly.

"...."

"Faced with our sister-in-law, one wasp nest is worth ten thousand troops," Chu Shun exclaimed.

"I just recalled a saying," the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo said.

"What saying?" Prince NanAn asked curiously.

"The one that praises ’Those who follow the bandit prosper, those who oppose the bandit perish,’" the Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo said.

This saying circulated in the capital for a few days.

Many people secretly mocked Qingyun Mountain for being thick-skinned, sneering at it, but now it seems, this was indeed the heartfelt words of Qingyun Mountain.

In the backyard of Agarwood Pavilion.

A tired Su Jin was lounging on the Imperial Concubine’s couch, feigning death.

Xingxing, full of energy, squatted beside the small couch, eyes shining, asked, "Miss, can you give me some poison?"

"What poison?" Su Jin’s mind was elsewhere.

"The poison used to knock out the wasps today," Xingxing said.

"I can’t give it to you."

"...."

"Why not?" Xingxing pouted, her cheeks puffing out.

Su Jin turned to look at her and said, "I don’t feel assured."

"Don’t worry, Miss, I promise I won’t poison myself," Xingxing patted her chest and guaranteed.

"...."

"I’m afraid if I give it to you, one day you’ll poison everyone in the Duke Zhen Country Mansion to near death," Su Jin tapped Xingxing’s little head.

"...."

Xingxing had quite the bandit temper, just from the butterfly knocked out by the round fan you could tell she was decisive, acting purely on the belief that "however my lady causes trouble, it’s others who suffer."

Such rashness, Su Jin wasn’t even assured to let her stay far from her, let alone give her poison.

Xingxing looked eagerly at Su Jin, the words asking for poison practically written on her face.

Outside, a little maid ran over, "Eldest Young Madam, someone from the palace has summoned you."

Su Jin flipped her eyes.

She had just come back, hadn’t even rested enough, and was being called to the palace again?

She could guess it was about the wasps, but it wasn’t her wasps, if blame is to be given, it should be directed at Princess Shouning, why involve her?

"I’m not going!" Su Jin declared decisively.

"Just say I was startled in the palace today, scared out of my wits by the wasps, legs turned soft, can’t go to the palace," Su Jin said.

"...."

The little maid’s mouth twitched.

Isn’t lying on the Imperial Concubine’s couch saying that her legs are soft?

When she first returned to the mansion, the Eldest Young Madam and maid walked briskly, many saw it, so saying she was startled now, isn’t it a bit late?

Su Jin wasn’t going, and the little maid couldn’t forcibly drag her.

She went to the Peony Garden to report.

Yes, the eunuch who relayed the message was in the Peony Garden, reporting the matter of the Empress Dowager being stung by wasps to Princess Nanzhang.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager was stung in the neck and forehead three times, Princess Nanzhang’s face turned greenish-purple.

The little maid stepped forward.

Seeing her alone, Princess Nanzhang’s face darkened, "Where is the Eldest Young Madam?!"

"The Eldest Young Madam said she was startled in the palace, couldn’t return," the little maid weakly said.

"She was startled?!" Princess Nanzhang gritted her teeth in anger.

She being startled? The sun would need to rise from the west!

The eunuch sneered; anger made the wasp stings in his cheeks pulse with pain.

The more it hurt, the angrier he became, the eunuch gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the Eldest Young Madam, if summoned by the Empress Dowager, as long as there’s still any breath left, she must return to the palace to report. If her legs are too soft to walk, then have her carried in!"

The little maid hurriedly returned to Agarwood Pavilion to report.

Xingxing was worried, "Pretending to be sick isn’t working, what now?"

"Then enter the palace," Su Jin replied languidly.

"Entering the palace this time surely means punishment," Xingxing was a little scared.

"What are you afraid of, it was the wasps stinging people, not us," Su Jin laughed.

"...."

It was the wasps stinging people.

But it was the lady who poisoned the wasps, causing them to sting people, it couldn’t be considered unrelated to them.

Su Jin nonchalantly said, "They don’t have evidence to prove I poisoned them."

"Unless they can diagnose the wasps’ pulses," Su Jin laughed.

"...."

"Well, if not pulses, they can at least perform a wasp autopsy."

"...."
