Chapter 1190 Startling Old Things
Infanta Yuan’an thought for a moment and asked, “Your Highness, do you still want to see Prince Yue?”
“So what if I see Prince Yue? He can’t really marry me. I heard that he is deeply in love with the Young Madam of Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion now. Because he is worried about her, he goes to see her every day,” Princess Yuyan said angrily, feeling jealous. Chu Liuyue had expressed his affection for her that day, but why hadn’t he come to see her yet?
She was still looking forward to Chu Liuyue’s visit.
“Your Highness, Prince Yue will never marry you.” Infanta Yuan’an sighed and reminded Princess Yuyan.
Princess Yuyan’s face was livid and cold. She said disdainfully, “Prince Yue doesn’t matter to me. It’s not like I’ll have no one else besides him!”
Infanta Yuan’an’s heart skipped a beat. “Is the dissolute Princess Yuyan into Prince Zhou again?”
“Your Highness, although Prince Yue can’t marry you, he doesn’t mean you any harm. If you ask him to come over to discuss something, he will definitely come,” Infanta Yuan’an hinted.
“Why would I invite him here? Since it will be pointless, I’d better not have him come over. He’s really useless. He can’t even decide who to marry. In our Xu State, even if a Prince wants to marry anyone as a Princess, he must satisfy with her.” Princess Yuyan snorted.
“It may not be useful, but Zhang Qilan is going to marry Prince Yue. If Prince Yue treats you well, Zhang Qilan will definitely be unhappy.” Infanta Yuan’an hinted.
Princess Yuyan thought for a moment and shook her head. “It’s not convenient for me to invite him over.”
Infanta Yuan’an said with a smile, “You can’t do it, but you can ask Princess Yutao to invite him. Prince Yue welcomed you into the city back then. Now it will be okay for you to trouble him with certain things.”
“Big Sister can’t bother with these trivial things.” Princess Yuyan still shook her head. Princess Yutao didn’t get along well with her, so why would she help her now?
“His visit will be in the name of Great Elder Princess, but in fact, you’re the one he will meet. You can start with Zhang Qilan’s matter. Prince Yue will definitely be willing to see you.” Infanta Yuan’an reminded her.
Princess Yuyan’s eyes lit up. The matter of Zhang Qilan was indeed the best way to start. She had to let Prince Yue see what kind of woman he was going to marry. “Okay, I will invite Prince Yue to the mansion, but that’s not enough. Zhang Qilan made Prince Yue and me unable to be together. I won’t have her take advantage of it.”
Having made up her mind, Princess Yuyan had a plan. It was difficult for her to justify what had happened that day, and neither could Zhang Qilan.
“Let’s discuss the details. You’d better find out the truth about what happened in your mansion. Is there really no loophole for Zhang Qilan to take advantage of?” Princess Yuyan was unwilling to give up. She waved to Infanta Yuan’an and motioned for her to come closer.
Neither of them could bear to suffer such a big loss this time. If they had not been caught off guard at that time, how could things have come to this point? They would not have let go of Zhang Qilan and Prince Yue.
Infanta Yuan’an didn’t stay with Princess Yuyan for a long time and returned to her mansion soon. Her wound hadn’t healed yet. After walking around for a while, she lost all her strength. She was going to have a rest when returning to the mansion, but when she suddenly heard that Prince Zhou had come over, she was overjoyed and bucked up to see her grandmother.
Chu Liuzhou was talking with Ruiping Great Elder Princess. When he saw Infanta Yuan’an coming in, he narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the displeasure in his eyes, and the smile on his face became much gentler. His mother had sent him a letter asking him to draw Ruiping Great Elder Princess over to his side, so he had come here.
After greeting Ruiping Great Elder Princess, Infanta Yuan’an also sat down. Ruiping Great Elder Princess made up a reason to excuse herself and let the two talk in private.
Infanta Yuan’an pulled the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head, and said reproachfully, “Your Highness, why do you have time to come here today?” She was indeed aggrieved, full of grievances. She had hoped to see Prince Zhou in front of her bed right when she woke up, but she didn’t expect to see him after a few days.
“You’re injured. I planned to come here early, but my father was very angry these days. He got angry at the mention of you. I was afraid that I would cause you trouble, so I deliberately came a few days late,” Chu Liuzhou said with a smile.
These words eased Infanta Yuan’an’s anger a little, but when she thought that he would soon have several consorts and concubines, she said jealously, “I thought that you were busy marrying more women!”
Infanta Yuan’an continued to pull the handkerchief in her hand hard.
“How could it be? No matter how many women there are, only you are my legal wife. Only the child you give birth to can be my direct descendant and inherit everything from me in the future.” Chu Liuzhou was very easygoing today, and he was not as reckless as before. He looked at Infanta Yuan’an with a gentle smile.
These words hit Infanta Yuan’an right in the heart, which greatly relieved her grievance and annoyance in the past few days. She and Chu Liuzhou had grown up together, so she knew that he was not a good-tempered person. Now Chu Liuzhou comforted her gently, which showed that he really cared about her.
With red eyes, she wiped her tears with the handkerchief. “Your Highness, do you know who ruined the plan that day?”
“Who did it?” Chu Liuzhou asked with a frown. He had no clue even after his investigation, and Infanta Yuan’an was indeed the one who should know the most.
“Prime Minister Zhang and Zhang Qilan, or even Prince Yue.” Infanta Yuan’an gritted her teeth and even vented her anger at Chu Liuyue.
She didn’t mention how Chu Liuyue was in front of Princess Yuyan, so she naturally had no scruples at this time.
“What do you mean?” Chu Liuzhou asked after thinking for a while.
“Your Highness, it’s absolutely true that Princess Yuyan has taken a fancy to Prince Yue, and Prince Yue indeed feels the same way for her. Prime Minister Zhang probably knows something, so he set up such a trap with Zhang Qilan to frame Princess Yuyan up. He didn’t even let me go, which disgraced you as well,” Infanta Yuan’an said with hatred.
“When Zhang Qilan was in the mansion that day, she obviously wanted to hurt Shao Wanru. But later, for some reason, she didn’t send her to Shao Wanru’s room. Instead, she made it look like she had been hurt. She benefited the most from this matter. Shao Wanru may not know about it.” Infanta Yuan’an was now sure that Zhang Qilan was the culprit.
“This is related to Chu Liuyue?” Chu Liuzhou was concerned about this. Zhang Qilan was now Chu Liuyue’s fiancee and Prime Minister Zhang’s daughter. If he hurt Zhang Qilan, he might hurt Chu Liuyue and even make Prime Minister Zhang and Chu Liuyue break apart. This was what Chu Liuzhou was most concerned about.
“What should we do?” Chu Liuzhou asked.
“We need to start a fight between Prince Chen’s Mansion and Prince Yue’s Mansion and have Shao Wanru know it. Prince Chen is protective of his people, but so what if he counters with Prime Minister Zhang?” Infanta Yuan’an said indignantly.
As for Prince Yue, Princess Yuyan planned to send a few charming palace maids to him. Although the foreign women were not the best-looking, at least they had exotic charms that could mesmerize Prince Yue.
“Okay!” Chu Liuzhou thought for a moment and agreed. He turned to look at Infanta Yuan’an’s resentful face and narrowed his eyes slightly. His mother said that Infanta Yuan’an could help him, so he trusted her again. “There can’t be any mistakes!”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. There won’t be any mistakes this time. With Princess Yuyan around, people will only find Prince Yue suspicious if anything goes wrong!” Infanta Yuan’an said with a sneer.
She didn’t like either Zhang Qilan or Princess Yuyan. It just so happened that she could make them confront each other. As for Shao Wanru, it was best to get her involved.
After Infanta Yuan’an told Chu Liuzhou everything she had discussed with Princess Yuyan just now, Chu Liuzhou nodded repeatedly. Finally, he looked at Infanta Yuan’an with a very kind look and said, “You haven’t recovered yet. Be careful. Don’t hurt yourself because of this matter. If you marry into our mansion now, I can still protect you. But now you can only rely on yourself. I will definitely compensate you in the future.”
Hearing these words and seeing Chu Liuzhou’s concerned eyes, Infanta Yuan’an felt touched and unconsciously showed a smile and started to think unconsciously. “Although those women have extraordinary backgrounds, so what if they enter the mansion with me? How could their relationships with Prince Zhou be compared with mine? What’s more, compared with those women, I’m the most useful one.
“Grandmother has said that people like Prince Zhou value strength more. As the legal wife and the future Empress, I have to be tolerant. Prince Zhou would never have me as his only woman. Of course, how many heirs he will have will be up to me, his legal wife.”
Infanta Yuan’an was full of joy and was imagining that Chu Liuzhou’s women could not have children in the future.
Shao Wanru went to Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion.
She heard that Rui’an Great Elder Princess was not feeling well, so she specially came to see her. After talking with her for a while, she heard a report from outside that E’niang came to ask to see her.
“Grandma, why is she here again?” Shao Wanru asked with deep eyes.
“It’s said that she’s here for your brother Hao’er,” Rui’an Great Elder Princess said with displeasure.
“She just doesn’t give up and went to Hao’er?” Shao Wanru said with a sneer. On that day, she gave E’niang a chance to see how far she could go. It didn’t take long for her to go to Hao’er.
“She gave Hao’er a bracelet used by your mom and said that it was left by your mom back then,” Rui’an Great Elder Princess said.
“In that case, why is she here now?”
Rui’an Great Elder Princess explained, “She sent a bracelet used by your mom to your younger brother. She also said that she found some old things from your mom and would send them to you together. Hao’er told me when he came back. I thought about it and casually asked her to send them directly to the mansion next time. Now there should be some more sent over. I don’t know why a servant girl like her would keep so many things of your mom.”
Shao Wanru thought about something. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and then let go of it little by little. With this thought in mind, her palm was covered with sweat, and her face changed greatly.
“Zhuozhuo, what’s wrong?” Rui’an Great Elder Princess immediately noticed her overwhelmed reaction. She reached out to hold her hand and felt a trace of moisture in the handkerchief in her hand. She hurriedly asked, “Are you not feeling well? Do you need me to call a doctor over and check on you?”
Rui’an Great Elder Princess had a lingering fear of the accident where Shao Wanru had vomited so much in the Marquis Xing’s Mansion for no reason before.
Shao Wanru hid the horror in her eyes, raised her pale face, and asked softly, “Grandma, I’m fine. I want to see E’niang. Will that be okay?”
No one knew how shocked she was.
