Spoiled Wife - C24
So when Yan Yi came over to deal with the man’s stuff, Shen Qi said before he even bowed, “It’s him. See how you handle it. I’m tired.” After which, he waved his hand and left.
Yan Yi was startled, but why would Consort Wang’s attitude suddenly change? With how cold and distant she was, he frowned as he did not understand what was going on. As a secret guard sacrificing himself for the king, that was normal, so he did not understand what Shen Qi was thinking, nor could he understand.
In the end, when she saw the back of the wangfei turning around to leave, it was only because she was really too tired at the time. After all, this night had not been peaceful.
The column, on the other hand, quivered with excitement and hurriedly ran to Shen Qi’s front and replied, “Royal Consort, the Prince has awoken.” He looked very happy.
Zi Zhu and the others were extremely happy that their Prince had woken up. If it were not for the fact that they were all forbidden from shouting, they would have already done so.
Following them would be a bit unfair for them as well. In Shang Xingzhou, it was considered a little transparent. In Wang Manor, it would be better to stay there.
column thanked Shen Qi happily after receiving the bag. Then, she did not disturb Shen Qi and directly went to do things.
“Princess, would you like to eat something first?” Wang Ma walked over to Shen Qi and looked at the exhausted expression on her face, as she asked with a pained heart.
“Eat some, you guys eat some food as well.” Shen Qi didn’t need anyone to attend to him when she was eating. She took the bowl of bird’s nest porridge from the Wang Ma’s hands and used it to eat.
Zi Zhu walked over and asked, “Esteemed wangfei, are you going to take a look at Main yard?”
Shen Qi nodded, “Go.” Then, she asked Bai Zhi to comb her hair, Zi Zhu Zi Li helped her change her clothes, after busying herself for a while, Shen Qi got up and walked towards Main yard under the happy gazes of the servants.
Wang Ma and Zi Zhu followed behind him, their faces filled with joy. No matter what, when the prince wakes up, the future of the wangfei will be better. Even the empress dowager would think that it was the arrival of the wangfei that woke her up, so there was no need to be so fond of her.
If Shen Qi didn’t look at their expressions, she would know what they were thinking. Let them be happy for a while, it wasn’t easy for them to follow him.
When Shen Qi arrived at the Main yard, both the Zhonbo and the Zhonbo were already there. When they saw Shen Qi, they also greeted her happily and Shen Qi waved her hands while smiling so that they did not have to be too courteous. In the future, her status in the Duke Palaces might not even compare to theirs.
However, he still had to ask symbolically, “Is the prince well?”
“To reply wangfei, the imperial physician is currently examining the prince’s body. Wangfei need not worry, as long as the prince wakes up, he’ll definitely be fine.” Zhonbo was truly happy, the prince was equivalent to him taking care of him as he grew up, and speaking of great disrespect, he treated the prince as his own junior. This time, after the prince had been in a coma for so long, the Zhonbo did not dare show it, but he still wanted to help the prince take care of the prince’s mansion.
Fortunately, the prince had now awoken, and Zhonbo, who usually didn’t believe in Buddha, had almost gone to worship Buddha. For this wangfei, there was also a trace of gratitude. It didn’t matter if it was because of her or not, the prince had awoken.
When he heard that the imperial physician was examining the prince’s body, Shen Qi did not disturb him and waited outside with Zhonbo and the others.
The Esteemed Empress Dowager and the Emperor were definitely waiting for news from the Prince. Due to their identity, they couldn’t easily leave the King’s Mansion, but after the diagnosis, they could send someone to tell them the results.
After the imperial physician came out and saw Shen Qi, he went forward to pay his respects.
“There’s no need to be so polite. How is the prince?” Shen Qi asked with a smile on her face.
“The prince is fine, but he has been unconscious for too long and his body is weak. He needs some time to recuperate.” The imperial physicians were all very pleased as well. The prince had finally woken up, so he could keep his anxious head, with the exception of one imperial physician, the imperial physician in charge of the hospital, Imperial Physician Xu.
Imperial Physician Xu was the first to know that the prince had awoken, because no matter what, the prince would find someone to cover for him, so he chose Imperial Physician Xu. She was in her fifties, upright, obsessed with medical skills, not greedy for money or not respecting one’s rights, and King Yuan had chosen her to be at ease.
“This Concubine knows now. Can I go in and see His Highness now?” Although Shen Qi guessed that Duke Xian probably didn’t wake up today, since he said so, he might as well pretend that he didn’t know.
“Yes, but not for too long.” Imperial Physician Xu answered.
“It’s been hard on you all. This Concubine won’t disturb you all. Please do as you please.” They had to get back to the palace and speak to the Empress and the Emperor.
At this time, the Zhonbo spoke up, “This old servant will send everyone off, and at the same time, I would like to inquire about other matters that your highness should pay attention to.”
Shen Qi nodded as she watched them leave. She then turned and entered the room, Yan Yi was busy handling the matters of the assassins, so she was currently surrounding the king with the servants and the few personal guards that usually served him.
Seeing that Shen Qi had come in and bowed in succession, Shen Qi smiled and waved her hands, then looked at the man leaning against the bed. She squinted her eyes, pursed her lips, and his handsome face turned towards her, his face still pale white.
If she didn’t guess wrongly, Prince Xian had probably woken up long ago, at least before she had gotten married. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have included her in his plans. The emperor and the empress dowager had sent people to surround his courtyard, so it would be difficult for him to enter from the outside without alerting others.
He was clearly telling others that there was a ghost here, and only a fool would jump inside. Since he could make a man who was like a god of war suffer, he definitely wasn’t a simple character. At the very least, he should have quite a good understanding of King Xian.
However, since King Xian needed another way to get the opposite party to jump in, this was an opportunity for him. The other party didn’t make a move on the day of their wedding. It was clear that he had the patience of a city lord.
No matter who looked at the fire that broke out on the same night as he returned home, they would think that the wangfei was a suspect. The other party probably saw through this point and barged into her room, threatening her to cooperate with them. As for what they could do, just looking at that man’s attitude was enough to explain everything.
What could hold a woman more firmly than a woman’s virginity? Moreover, those people probably understood King Duanren’s personality very well. He definitely wouldn’t want an unclean woman to get close to him, so even if they knew that the wangfei didn’t do it out of free will, they wouldn’t have any sympathy for her. They would only feel shame.
A woman, especially a young woman, would feel wronged just by the look in her husband’s eyes. If that was the case, then whether or not she would go all out for a long period of time, it was understandable for her to take revenge on behalf of others.
Furthermore, if he was good at it, he could still cause a feud between the two of them. Such a ruthless, insidious and sinister plan to kill three birds with one stone.
Shen Qi did not believe that King Xian did not know who was going to deal with him this time. Since she knew that Duke Xian must understand the other party’s methods, then he must definitely put herself in danger for the sake of his plan. That’s right, his own body would be in danger, what did a nominal princess that he did not care about be worth?
Shen Qi felt that she could be considered as someone who had cultivated to her home. No matter what happened, he wouldn’t let her emotions fluctuate too much, and only after seeing it through would she be able to live better.
This was an era of imperial power. He was first a prince, then his own husband. It was natural for them to sacrifice more for him. They had no right to bargain, nor did they have the right to reject him.
The more Shen Qi saw through it, the less hope she had for the future. She was a cold-hearted person, this time she would definitely suppress the ripple in her thoughts, and it would be better to recognize reality!
Seeing Shen Qi not saying a word, King Duanren was a little curious about what the wangfei was thinking. Hence, he could not pretend anymore and opened his eyes to look at Shen Qi.
This was the first time he had seen his own wangfei. She didn’t seem that old, but her bearing was calm and collected, not like a fourteen-year-old girl at all.
That’s right, it’s a little girl. Even the First Prince is older than her, and I, as the First Prince’s uncle, am now marrying a girl younger than my own nephew to become the imperial concubine.
When he thought here, King Duan couldn’t help but frown. Shen Qi even laughed, was he dissatisfied with himself? Fortunately, she didn’t expect him to like her.
“All of you go out first, I have something to say to the prince, I wonder if the prince can help?” Shen Qi instructed with a smile, and then asked Duke Duan about it.
Zi Zhu and the others, on the other hand, obediently left the room, while King Duanren’s bodyguard looked at his own master, waiting for him to speak. Shen Qi was not angry, he was not his own man, so he did not want him to be their master.
King Yuan frowned. His long and narrow eyes were deep and unfathomable. He glanced at them indifferently and said, “You can leave.”
After the servants had all left, Shen Qi then paid her respects to Duke Xian, “Chenqie greets Your Highness, Prince Lucky!”
King Xian raised his eyes to look at the wangfei. He didn’t understand what she was trying to do. He raised his hand to excuse her, “If you have something to say, say it.”
