Chapter 396 The Real Princess Has a Gossip System (4)
The Empress opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. She wanted to say that what Wangyou said was all a lie, but the Emperor ordered her to be taken away.
Wangyou knew that he must have gone to see the imperial physician, but unfortunately, the physician couldn't cure him!
Ignore that crazy woman, I'll continue watching someone else's drama.
Wangyou continued watching the melons with great interest, seemingly unaffected by what had just happened.
[Xin Nan, the prime minister of the Yu Dynasty, is indeed a good official, but his tongue is too sharp. He stood on the city wall and verbally abused the enemy's general until he vomited blood. If I had that kind of tongue, forget it, I don't need it. I prefer to settle things with my fists.]
[The host could learn some insults from Prime Minister Xin, the kind that don't use profanity, because hitting people takes too much energy.]
No, I think beating people up is easier, and I'm not good at swearing.
However, Prime Minister Xin's daughter was abducted when she was a child. The family had been searching for her all these years, but they never expected that their daughter was living right under their noses and had been disfigured, with half of her face burned by a branding iron.
Holy crap, there's actually something about that fake girl in this story. Just because that girl was cuter than her, she ordered someone to sell her off, disfigure her, and then dump her on the road that the Prime Minister passes by every day on his way to and from court to beg.
The poor girl suffered burns to her face, developed a high fever, and upon waking, remembered no one.
The master who saves this girl will gain merit.
[I'll go out of the palace another day to take a look; a girl's face is very important.]
"Your Majesty, I have urgent business at home. Please allow me to take my leave."
"My dear subject, go quickly!"
Prime Minister Xin quickly withdrew, then picked up his official robe and ran away. The thought of his daughter begging right under his nose without him recognizing her filled him with heartache.
"Wangyou, I plan to hold a family reunion banquet so that everyone can get to know you. From now on, you will be my rightful daughter," Nangong Sheng said with a smile.
“Okay.” Wangyou nodded, then walked over, picked up the paperweight on the table, and tossed it around to play with it.
"Let me take your pulse."
"My daughter can even take a pulse, that's amazing." Nangong Sheng smiled, extending his hand without any suspicion. She was quite satisfied with his attitude.
"I'll give you a sachet in a couple of days, remember to carry it with you!" Wangyou said after taking his pulse.
"Okay, no problem."
[As expected, I was poisoned so early, but the toxicity is very mild; wearing the herbal sachet for two days should resolve the issue.]
【Host, you're still being too soft-hearted!】
"Well, he's been treating me well lately, so it's not a bad thing to be nice to him. But is that damned prince still kneeling before me?"
Yes, your dad told him to keep kneeling and even moved him to a corner so he wouldn't block the way.
[This crown prince should be deposed quickly, but if Nangong Zhizhan is deposed, there's no one in the palace capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility!]
[Host, you're not waiting until the country is destroyed and your family is ruined.]
[What does this have to do with the destruction of the country and the loss of my family? I hate Nangong Zhizhan, and I have equal hatred for the murderer who killed me in the first playthrough. I'll be unhappy as long as he's the crown prince. Oh well, I'll give him the sachet later. Anyway, he's not going to die anytime soon.]
"I'm going back now." Wangyou waved to Nangong Sheng, then left without looking back.
Nangong Sheng was furious. "Go, give that wretched child thirty lashes, and then search the East Palace for any evidence!"
Nangong Sheng's voice was so cold it could freeze water, which prompted the imperial physician to examine him.
After several imperial physicians spent half a day examining the body, they finally discovered that the emperor had indeed been poisoned, and it was the forbidden drug, "Hypnotic Drug of Death." Since it was a forbidden drug, it meant there was no antidote.
The imperial physicians were at a loss and all knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
Nangong Sheng's face darkened, and he immediately ordered his secret guards to investigate, starting with the Empress.
This is a life of debauchery and decadence. At first, you will only feel exceptionally energetic and can work for days and nights without getting tired. But gradually, you will become more and more irritable, unable to control your urge to see blood and kill people, and eventually die bleeding from all seven orifices.
If it really was the Empress who administered the drug, he would never let her go.
Several examples demonstrate that Wang You's sentiments were correct, because the Minister of War did indeed harbor treacherous intentions. Not only were several secret letters exchanged with enemy countries found in his residence, but also a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, as well as an entire wall of gold.
On his way back, the prime minister found his biological daughter, the little beggar, whose birthmark was exactly the same as his daughter's.
Nangong Sheng realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to change the fate of the Yu Dynasty, and he absolutely could not let anyone ruin it.
So, with a wave of his hand, Nangong Sheng distributed a large sum of rewards from his private treasury to Wangyou's private treasury, making Zhaoyang Palace even more splendid.
Nangong Sheng decided to use sweet words to corrupt Wangyou's heart, hoping that she would have a greater sense of belonging to the country and stop thinking about the country's destruction and the loss of her family.
Time flew by, and Nangong Sheng entrusted the palace banquet to Consort Lin. The banquet was very grand, which also meant that Princess Zhaoyang held an extraordinary position in the emperor's heart.
During this time, Nangong Sheng didn't hear anything useful, because Wangyou's mental activity was really inactive. Most of the time, she stayed in Zhaoyang Palace, either eating or sleeping, and never went out.
As for the sachet of medicine for Nangong Sheng, it was only after Nangong Sheng urged her several times that Wangyou worked overtime to make it.
"Can't you not wear so much jewelry? It's so heavy!" Wangyou looked at how the palace maid had dressed her up. It looked beautiful and luxurious, but it was uncomfortable at all.
“Princess, today is your first time appearing in front of everyone, you absolutely cannot lose your composure,” Tao Yao said earnestly and firmly.
"Alright, alright, let's go!" Wangyou knew they were doing it for her own good, so she stopped arguing and got into the sedan chair to head to the Liangyi Palace.
"Princess Zhaoyang has arrived!"
"Long live the Princess!"
"Get up, all of you!"
[Wow, so many people have come! There are quite a few noble ladies from various families. Let me see who they are.] After sitting down, Wangyou couldn't wait to see how many unlucky souls were there.
The crowd, who had been admiring the princess's extraordinary demeanor, were interrupted by this sudden outpouring of her thoughts. Remembering the special instructions they had received before entering the palace, they all sat up straight, seemingly engaged in conversation, but in reality, they were all listening intently to the gossip.
[That dashing and heroic girl could have become a great female general, but she was ruined by that scoundrel. What a pity for a female general, with a heart full of love. Weren't swords and spears lovable? Why did she have to fall for a nobody like him?]
Song Qian looked around and confirmed that the person Princess Zhaoyang was talking about was him. But she couldn't believe that she would be killed by a man. She wanted to hear more, but Princess Zhaoyang's thoughts stopped.
[That woman over there is the imposter, the fake Vice Minister's wife, a classic case of substitution. Truly, there are talented people everywhere!]
After reading the gossip, Wangyou looked up at the group, but she didn't reveal much of her true feelings, leaving everyone scratching their heads in confusion.
