Chapter 143 Is the princess so angry because she is embarrassed and enraged?
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuang's vision blurred and his limbs went weak.
Before going to the garden, she thought that since Wang Xianrong was already in such a state, even if she ruined Zhao Rufang's marriage, Qin Yizhen wouldn't do anything to Wang Xianrong.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Yizhen actually got angry and came to confront him personally.
Chen Shuang pleaded, "Princess, my young lady is already in this state. If you say anything more to her, she might really not want to live anymore."
Qin Yizhen glanced at her, her face indifferent: "What does it have to do with me if she doesn't want to live? I'm not her parents or close relatives, so why would I feel sorry for her or pity her?"
“You had some ulterior motives before, but you never harmed anyone, so I didn’t want to get involved. Considering her deep affection and the fact that she was a living person, I was quite tolerant of her.”
"However, if you harm others, I will not tolerate it. Since she wants to die, let her go, so as not to harm others."
Qin Yizhen was well protected and had not seen much darkness even in the palace. However, she was not without brains. She knew that countless people had died in the open and covert struggles between the concubines for the emperor's favor and the power struggles.
She simply didn't dare to investigate and pretended not to know.
Qin Yizhen had someone bring Chen Shuang down, then walked towards the main house of Cuiwei Courtyard, and turned to enter the bedroom.
By this time, Mr. Hu had finished examining Wang Xianrong's pulse and was sitting at a table writing a prescription. His apprentice stood by with his medicine box, and two maids were waiting in front of Wang Xianrong's bed, carefully tidying up the bed curtains.
Upon seeing Qin Yizhen arrive, everyone stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess."
"No need for formalities." Qin Yizhen nodded, glanced at the bed curtains, and asked Mr. Hu, "How is Consort Wang?"
“Anger has taken its toll on her heart.” Mr. Hu shook his head. “Aunt Wang’s health was already weak, and she needed to rest. She cannot tolerate extreme joy or sorrow. If this continues, it may affect her lifespan.”
"I can only prescribe two doses of calming and nourishing medicine for Aunt Wang right now. It's best not to take too much of this medicine. It's most important to keep a cheerful and relaxed mood."
"I understand. Thank you for your help, Mr. Hu."
Mr. Hu waved his hand, not wanting to say more to her, and hurriedly wrote down the prescription before taking his leave.
In Mr. Hu's view, these people are physically healthy, but mentally ill. They could live a good life, but they deliberately make themselves sick. He originally couldn't be bothered to treat such people.
unlucky!
Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Yizhen, who was drinking tea in the courtyard, received the news that Wang Xianrong had woken up. She took a sip of tea and then turned and went into the bedroom.
At this moment, Wang Xianrong was being helped by her maid to lean against the soft pillows at the head of the bed. Her face was pale, and she looked around but could not see her personal maid. She frowned slightly.
"Where is Chen Shuang?"
The maid lowered her head, not daring to answer, but Qin Yizhen, who walked in through the lifted beaded curtain, answered her question:
"Chen Shuang has failed to take good care of her mistress. I have already had her taken away and told her to reflect on her actions."
When Wang Xianrong looked up and saw Qin Yizhen walking in with Granny Jin and Lü Qiao, her face instantly turned extremely ugly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She immediately became sharp and asked, "What are you doing here?"
A maid brought over a chair, and Qin Yizhen sat down. She glanced at Wang Xianrong's pale face and said calmly, "I didn't want to come here either, but you seem restless, so I had to come and ask you myself what you want."
"What do I want to do?" Wang Xianrong chuckled, finding it extremely ironic. "I'd like to ask the princess what she wants to do, and what mistake Chen Shuang has made that warrants punishment?"
Qin Yizhen said, "Today, Miss Zhao and Young Master He were getting to know each other. If you say you were unaware of the situation, I believe you. But if you say she was unaware, I do not believe you."
"Since that's the case, she didn't stop you, ruining Miss Zhao's matchmaking, causing you to be bedridden, and also jeopardizing my plans. Naturally, she is at fault."
"Since she can't serve you well, I don't mind replacing her with a few other people."
They need to find someone to keep an eye on her.
Wang Xianrong's face stiffened, and she looked at Qin Yizhen with anger in her eyes: "Is the princess going to put me under house arrest?"
"It's just to have someone take care of you."
"Heh...good...good..." Wang Xianrong chuckled twice. Just then, a maid brought over the medicine soup. She stared at the medicine bowl for a moment, then swept it away with a wave of her hand.
With a scream from the maid, the medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, spilling the dark brown medicine all over the floor, and the strong smell of medicine filled the room.
Wang Xianrong gripped the bed curtains tightly, angrily demanding, "Why! Why are you touching the people around me! I can have whatever I want served by whoever I want, it's none of your business!"
“Aunt Wang,” Qin Yizhen said quietly as she watched her go mad, “From the moment you stepped into this door, you should have known that you are no longer the noble eldest daughter of the Wang family. You are nothing more than a concubine. I can manage you, and I can manage the people around you as well.”
Wang Xianrong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, her anger subsided, and her gaze toward Qin Yizhen became extremely sarcastic.
After a long silence, she suddenly chuckled: "Is the princess so angry because she's embarrassed and angry?"
“In the past, when the princess and the marquis were cold to each other, they sent us in to serve the marquis. But now that the princess and the marquis have reconciled and are loving, they naturally can’t tolerate us. First, Song Pingping left, and now Zhao Rufang is looking after us.”
"The princess carefully selected this marriage with the He family, hoping that she would have a smooth and peaceful life after marriage, so that the princess could live happily ever after with the Marquis."
"My sudden appearance today has shown Young Master He just how rude and uncouth Miss Zhao is, and how lacking in manners she is. It's very likely that this marriage will fall through, which is why the princess is so angry..."
When Wang Xianrong finished speaking, she actually laughed out loud.
Qin Yizhen stared at her for a long while, her lips slightly pursed: "Are you really crazy? Even if you have grievances against me, or what grudges you have against Miss Zhao, aren't you afraid of retribution for ruining her marriage?"
"What retribution do I have to fear? It's just another life." Wang Xianrong said calmly, clearly unconcerned about her own life.
"If she has anyone to blame, it's the princess for wanting to send us away. If she gets married, then the princess will probably try every means to get rid of me."
"I also want to tell the princess that I will never leave, even if it means death. Now that I've entered this gate, I belong to the Marquis in life and in death. If the princess forces me any further, then you can prepare to collect my corpse."
Qin Yizhen sat in the chair watching her laugh and cry, seemingly crazy, and remained silent for a long time.
The early summer breeze swept through the courtyard, causing rows of green bamboo to sway and rustle. Dust on the bluestone slabs rose and fell with the wind, only to rise again.
Until one day, it landed in a place where the wind couldn't reach it, and from then on it took root.
