Chapter 277 Prince Yu also wants to interfere
After several days of hard work, Song Qingwan finally developed a method to break the poison. The reason why it took so long was certainly not because Song Qingwan's ability had declined.
This is because grain was already precious in ancient times, and there were too many poisoned grains, so Song Qingwan had to find a way to dissolve the toxins and turn them into harmless substances while ensuring that the grains were not contaminated. This was actually very difficult.
When Song Qingwan took the detoxifying solution and put it on the table in front of her, a relaxed smile finally appeared on her face.
Now that it has been developed, it must be used in large quantities, so Song Qingwan did not delay for a second and directly put it into production.
After checking all the machines and finding no faults, Song Qingwan came out of the space. By then, she didn't know how many days had passed outside. Song Qingwan quickly called Chunya over.
"I've been away for the past few days. Is everything going well in the mansion?"
"Master, rest assured. With Master Song here, those who came to cause trouble have been sent away."
"Looking for trouble? Who would come to our Prince Huai's Mansion to look for trouble?"
Song Qingwan raised her eyebrows in surprise. Could it be that the public opinion has not subsided yet?
"We don't know those people. They came to inquire about Mr. Xiao's whereabouts."
"Mr. Xiao? Are you talking about Xiao Hechuan?"
"Yes, those people got the news from somewhere that Master Xiao now owns the most land and grain in the entire Great Saint Dynasty, and they also said that he colluded with Prince Huai's Mansion to annex land on a large scale, so they wanted to report him."
"How did my cousin respond?"
"Master Song told them that the lands of Master Xiao were not his own, but belonged to the local people, and told them not to listen to the slander."
“And they believed it?”
Chunya tilted her head and thought about those people's reactions, then shook her head in frustration.
Although Song Changwei's answer was flawless and well-reasoned, the fact that those people dared to come to him meant that someone had already spread the matter, and most people would believe in remarks that were beneficial to themselves.
Song Qingwan held her forehead with some fatigue, as one crisis after another was brewing.
"Don't worry about them for now. Let's solve the problem of food and grass first. If anyone comes to inquire again, just ask him to come see me."
"Yes, master."
From this, it seems that it is not only Zhong Jian's family who took advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters. There should also be the original Prince Yu's party. It is even possible that these people came to the palace to cause trouble with the permission of Prince Yu.
Whether Xiao Hechuan really has so much land is another matter, but it is not a good thing to link the crime of large-scale land annexation with Prince Huai's Palace.
Right now, the people who most want Prince Huai's Mansion to be in disgraceful should be Prince Yu's party. It seems that Lord Zhao Yu still has not given up the intention of seizing power.
Therefore, for the next period of time, Prince Huai's mansion simply closed its doors to visitors. All those who wanted to come to inquire about things or want to pay a visit to the princess were rejected by Chunya and Arong, on the grounds that the princess was not feeling well recently and was not suitable to meet guests.
But when Prince Yu heard about this, he thought that Song Qingwan was powerless to resist.
"Humph, I just want to see what tricks he can come up with as a woman!"
Zhao Yujun sat at the table with a smug look on his face, and began to fantasize about the scene where Song Qingwan would take the initiative to come to him and ask for peace. He even imagined that Song Qingwan would cry with tears on her face and beg him to have mercy on her and let her go.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yujun's body actually reacted. He thought that Luo Qingqing had not taken the initiative to look for him for a long time.
Ever since Luo Qingqing entered the mansion, Zhao Yujun had basically lost interest in other women in the backyard and focused all his attention on her.
It’s not that Zhao Yujun really likes Luo Qingqing. He always imagines Luo Qingqing as Song Qingwan. Looking at Luo Qingqing's excited look under him, he always imagines Song Qingwan's face, which gives him an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Prince Yu suddenly felt hot all over. He stood up and walked quickly out of the study and went to the backyard, intending to go directly to Luo Qingqing's room to find her.
Luo Qingqing was dressing up in her room when she heard the servant come to report that Prince Yu had arrived. She was a little surprised. Why was he here in broad daylight?
"Just say I'm not feeling well, Your Majesty, please go back."
"But Concubine, this is the third time the prince has come. You used this excuse the last two times."
The little maidservant stood at the door with an embarrassed look on her face. Would the prince really continue to believe such a reason?
Not only this little maid, but other servants also couldn't figure out what the concubine meant.
When she first entered the palace, the concubine would go to the prince's courtyard from time to time to deliver some food and some small gifts, such as purses, but during this period of time, not only did the concubine not go to the prince's courtyard to show her presence, she even didn't want to see the prince in person.
All she did all day was dress up and read books and write in her room, showing no intention of competing for favor.
The servants were quite dissatisfied with this. Everyone knew that no matter in the prince's mansion or the imperial palace, the servants could only stand tall when their masters were favored.
In the past two days, servants from other courtyards have been bullying them.
Luo Qingqing also noticed the reluctant expression of the little maid. She hesitated for a moment and then changed her mind.
"Forget it, no need to go back, I will go to pick you up myself."
"It's the Concubine." The little maid retreated with a smile on her face.
Luo Qingqing sighed and walked out slowly. How could she not know what these servants were thinking?
However, as an undercover agent, Luo Qingqing is unwilling to act all day long like before. Now Luo Qingqing is just waiting for Song Qingwan's order to evacuate.
"I pay my respects to the prince."
"My beloved, please get up."
Prince Yu personally stepped forward, held Luo Qingqing's hands and pulled her up. Luo Qingqing did not allow herself to leave Prince Yu for a distance and invited him into her room.
"How come you have time to come to my place today, Your Majesty?"
"I was just wondering, how long has it been since you last came to my yard? I thought you might have been too frightened a while ago, so I came to check on you out of concern."
Prince Yu spoke high-sounding words, but his eyes were slightly narrowed and he stared at Luo Qingqing's face.
Luo Qingqing felt the naked gaze from Prince Yu, and she lowered her head pretending to be shy.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Your Majesty? Qingqing feels embarrassed."
"This king thinks that Qingqing is becoming more and more beautiful."
After saying that, Prince Yu stood up, picked up Luo Qingqing and walked towards the bed impatiently. Luo Qingqing was startled.
"Your Majesty, it's daytime now, what are you doing?"
"So what during the day? You are my beloved concubine, how dare anyone say that about you?"
"But Your Majesty..."
"Don't say but, come quickly! You've been thinking about me dying for a while."
Luo Qingqing wanted to push Prince Yu away but forced himself to hold back. He clenched his hands into fists and hid them under his body, and closed his eyes silently.
Never mind, just treat it as if you were bitten by a dog...
