Chapter 1090, Miscalculation, Many Crises

Aunt Zheng came quickly and bowed to Shao Wanru after entering.

"Mom, look, is this written by Concubine Lan?" Shao Wanru asked straight to the point.

Aunt Zheng took the letter with a heavy face and glanced at it. When she saw clearly the handwriting on it and a small mark on the envelope, she nodded: "Princess, it does belong to Concubine Lan. There is a small mark here, Princess." Do you think it looks like an orchid?"

Shao Wanru took the letter, looked at it, and shook his head. The mark was very shallow and small, but it didn't look like an orchid, but rather like it was accidentally placed on it.

"Princess, please turn over and take a look." Aunt Zheng said with a slight smile.

Shao Wanru turned the letter in his hand, and when he looked at the mark again, it vaguely looked like an orchid, but if he hadn't told it, he wouldn't have guessed that it was entirely in cursive calligraphy and painting mode.

"When I left the palace that day, Concubine Lan once told me this. In fact, I originally wanted to go to Prince Chen's Mansion that day." Aunt Zheng sighed, with a hint of bitterness in her eyes. "Princess, please rest assured, Concubine Lan will never have bad intentions towards you."

"Concubine Lan... what is the relationship with the prince?" Shao Wanru glanced at Aunt Zheng and asked.

"I don't dare to speak nonsense about the relationship between Concubine Lan and the prince." Aunt Zheng lowered her head.

Seeing her reaction, Shao Wanru knew that she would not say anything, so he did not force her. He opened the letter and read it, his face becoming heavier as he read.

The letter talks about what happened in the palace yesterday.

The Empress Dowager was reprimanded by the Emperor in the Royal Study, and Concubine De was announced to the Palace by the Empress Dowager. Many people in the palace were wondering what Shao Wanru said to the Empress Dowager after entering the palace. Was it a coincidence, or was the Empress Dowager specially sent to announce her.

Before her, Marquis Chengen met the Empress Dowager and was scolded. The Empress Dowager was so angry that she even took action. After Marquis Chengen, he only met Shao Wanru, then the Emperor, and finally Empress De Fei.

Among these people, only Shao Wanru seemed to be incompatible with the whole situation. He seemed like an outsider who accidentally got into the situation, and he also seemed to be the most important part of the whole thing.

Concubine Lan warned Shao Wanru that she should not be a standout at this time. She should keep a low profile on everything and do not cause trouble. Chu Liuchen was not in the capital, so she had to be more careful. She also told Chu Liuchen not to Maybe I'll rush to the capital on the Queen Mother's birthday...

Shao Wanru read the letter in his hand twice before slowly putting it down. His eyebrows furrowed tightly. These words were not groundless.

"Princess, did Concubine Lan say anything important?" Seeing her put down the letter, Grandma Zheng asked anxiously, "Did something big happen? Otherwise, Concubine Lan would not have contacted you at this time."

Shao Wanru glanced at Aunt Zheng in surprise, but did not ask for the reason, and nodded: "I told you what happened in the palace yesterday. The Queen was reprimanded, and Concubine De was also involved. Yesterday I entered the palace to see the Queen Mother. My dear, many people think these things may be related to me!"

After hearing what she said, several of her confidants couldn't help but take a breath of air.

"Princess, did someone deliberately bring the topic to you?" Yu Jie asked.

"My slave feels the same way. Why do you think this matter must be related to you?" Qu Le also asked.

Shao Wanru pursed her pink lips tightly, remembering what happened to the Empress before. If someone was secretly pushing the matter onto herself and attracting all the attention to herself, then the Empress was the one who put the matter on herself. In essence, the purpose of keeping those concubines was to let them spread rumors that they were the key to everything.

Today's summons from the Empress Dowager is not to clarify what he said to the Empress Dowager. The point is to confirm this rumor and invisibly put himself in danger.

Before reading Concubine Lan's letter, it was still a little unclear, but now I immediately understood that I was in a dangerous situation. Being suspected by all forces, there would be no good results.

"Princess, at this time, the resolution should be more low-key. The prince is not in the palace. You are the only master. You must not make the slightest mistake." Aunt Zheng looked more nervous than Shao Wanru. Her face was slightly pale, which showed that she was really serious. panicked.

This was not the first time that the two maids saw the usually calm Nanny Zheng panicking. Yu Jie and Qu Le's expressions immediately turned ugly.

"Princess, pretend to be sick!" Yu Jie thought of an idea and said.

Aunt Zheng shook her head: "No, it's too deliberate and makes people more suspicious. And if someone wants to deal with the princess, they can do it even if the princess pretends to be sick."

Pretending to be sick at this time is really far-fetched. When there was nothing wrong in the past, if the princess pretended to be sick, it would actually be nothing. At most, it would be the Queen Mother and Huan Xin.

Now is not the best time.

"Then... then get out first, don't stay here, go to the eldest princess's mansion?" Hearing that someone might come to deal with the princess, Qu Le was so frightened that she stretched out her hand to pull Shao Wanru's sleeve and said, "Princess , let’s go to the eldest princess’s mansion, there are many guards in the eldest princess’s mansion!”

If the prince is here, of course you don't have to worry about it, but now the princess is the only one in the house, and Qu Le is really worried.

"No, if you avoid the eldest princess's palace, you are more likely to bring trouble to the eldest princess. Although the eldest princess's palace also has guards, those guards are far inferior to the guards in Prince Chen's palace!"

Aunt Zheng objected again.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but what should I do? I can't just watch something happen to the princess!" Qu Le was about to cry in a hurry.

I didn't think so before, but now after listening to Grandma Zheng's analysis, Qu Le felt that there were shadows all around, and it was almost unsafe anywhere.

Shao Wanru calmed down, thought for a while and said: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just at Prince Chen's Mansion. I don't need the maple leaf painting, just the table screen!"

The table screen was embroidered by Shao Wanru himself, and he had prepared it as a gift early on. One painting must be missing, so presenting another table screen would be more thoughtful. The maple leaf painting is the key to everything now. It's better not to take it out or not.

"The table screen, plus some other treasures, can be regarded as a congratulatory gift to the Queen Mother."

This kind of gift is neither outstanding nor shabby, and it also looks thoughtful, but it is not particularly conspicuous. It is a necessary gift for her as a granddaughter-in-law.

Without such a link as maple leaf painting, at least people can doubt themselves less.

This time, he made a mistake. He originally didn't want to make Chu Liuchen sad. Chu Liuchen had always cared about the Queen Mother who loved him and always protected him, but he didn't expect that he would actually get angry now. All he could say was The water on this matter was too deep, and her previous thoughts based on her half-understood past life were too shallow.

This is all she can do right now.

"Princess, what will you do if someone comes into the house to deal with you?" Yujie is still worried. Even if the birthday gift is arranged, other aspects are not.

There are not many guards in Prince Chen's Mansion now. Chu Liuchen told Shao Wanru about this before leaving. As for the manpower below, some are in the hands of the chief steward, who ordered her to use them in emergencies. But Shao Wanru At this time, he didn't want to use these hands to protect himself.

This will make people pay more attention to Chu Liuchen. She cannot let Chu Liuchen fall into danger because of her negligence.

At a time when the future is unknown, there are so many people spying on him secretly, and Chu Liuchen has a dishonest reputation and bad words at the moment. Exposing his strength to others at this time will bring him danger.

"Aunt Zheng, I know what to do. Don't worry. You go back first. Don't go anywhere tonight. Work with Aunt Yu to restrain the other people in the house. Something may happen tonight. Don't panic. I I’ll let the housekeeper arrange everything so there won’t be any danger.”

Shao Wanru comforted them.

"Princess, is everything going to be okay?" Aunt Zheng said obviously not being comforted. Looking at the childish little princess in front of her, Aunt Zheng was really worried.

Although the princess is not as weak as she looks, she must be just a girl who has not yet had hair extensions. At such a young age and raised in a boudoir, she has never experienced such a dangerous thing.

"Don't worry, Aunt Zheng, I will let the butler make the final decision on this matter. Even if I don't have any ideas, wouldn't there still be a butler?" Shao Wanru said calmly.

Seeing her being so calm and steady, both Yujie and Qule breathed a sigh of relief, and even had a smile on their faces. The princess would definitely find a way, so they didn't need to panic.

Only Aunt Zheng still felt uneasy, so she thought for a while and said: "Princess, if you have nothing else to do, I would like to go into the palace and beg Empress Lan to ask if you can go into the palace and hide at Concubine Lan's place." Hide, Concubine Lan is protecting you and no one will hurt you!"

"Let's forget about Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan herself has been in trouble all the time. If she spares her efforts to protect me, something will happen. Don't worry, Aunt Zheng, nothing will happen to me." Shao Wanru refused with a smile.

If Concubine Lan really had nothing to do, she would not have been locked up under the Emperor's protection for so many years. Although the Emperor had protected her and had nothing to do with her, she was still locked up tightly and was not free. Shao Wanru did not feel comfortable entering the palace. It is a good idea to go to Concubine Lan to ask for help. Besides, why you entered the palace and why you found Concubine Lan must have some explanations and reasons.

Since she was unwilling to leave Prince Chen's Mansion, there must be a reason why she couldn't leave, and there was also a reason why those who secretly wanted to attack her would not be able to do so again.

Aunt Zheng was persuaded to leave, and Qing'er and the chief steward were found together. After hearing Shao Wanru explain the cause and effect of the matter, the chief steward's expression immediately changed. He had experienced the storms in the palace for a long time, so he naturally knew that Shao Wanru The current situation is not good.

"Princess, you are the key to everything now. Regarding the matter of Maple Leaf Painting, the Emperor and the Queen Mother must have suspected King Yue and King Zhou, as well as the Concubine De and the Queen behind them. Because this matter was not revealed in front of everyone, it was also It's just a secret visit, but if something happens to you at the critical moment, the matter will become a big deal." The chief steward immediately grasped all the important points and pointed out the danger of Shao Wanru.
