Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
How could the palace servants still care about serving Yu Wan and Han Jingshu? They all ran out to look for the little black eggs that had gone wild. After the palace servants left, Yu Wan, who was shouting that her son was crying, leisurely drank her flower tea.
Han Jingshu understood that the palace servants had also been deceived by this girl.
Actually, Yu Wan’s acting skills were very bad, at least that was what Han Jingshu thought. However, she had a domineering aura and confidence. My son didn’t cry? Do you want to make a bet? The kind that would execute your entire family if you lost!
It would be strange if the palace servants dared to bet.
Only Yu Wan and Han Jingshu were left in the huge hall. Yu Wan went straight to the point. “Alright, Miss Han, let’s not beat around the bush. Do you know who cured your Gu poison?”
At this point, there was no need to hide it.
Due to many considerations, Han Jingshu actually did not want to pierce through this layer of window paper with Yu Wan. However, after seeing Yu Wan’s intelligence, she felt that even if she did not pierce through it, Yu Wan would think of all ways to tear it apart.
Han Jingshu said calmly, “Yes, I know. Although I was unconscious for two days, my mind was clear. I heard your conversation with Doctor Cui.” “How much did you hear?” Yu Wan asked.
“I heard everything,” Han Jingshu said. “You called Doctor Cui ‘Old Cui’. There seems to be a third person, but I don’t know who that person is.”
Han Jingshu did not ask who the third person was. Even if she did, Yu Wan would not tell her.
Yu Wan’s eyes darted around. She had spoken to Little Gu before. Han Jingshu thought that she was talking to someone else. It seemed that Han Jingshu did not know the identity of Little Gu. She only heard about her relationship with Old Cui and that she wanted to kill the culprit to cure her.
It was good that the Little Gu, the trump card, had not been exposed. When necessary, revealing the little secret and protecting the big secret could be considered the lesser of two evils.
Yu Wan took a sip of tea and said without changing her expression, “Why do you care who the third person is? Since you’ve heard so much, you must have guessed that Old Cui and I have a deep relationship, right?”
“Yes.” Han Jingshu nodded.
Yu Wan continued, “Do you know the relationship between Old Cui and the
Crown Prince?”
Han Jingshu did not hide it and said truthfully, “I know. Divine Doctor Cui was once an imperial physician of the palace and was employed by Worthy Consort Xu. Later on, he resigned from his position as the imperial physician and went out to roam freely. However, with Worthy Consort Xu’s character, if she didn’t completely control this person, she wouldn’t let him leave alive.”
Yu Wan sighed softly. “You know your mother-in-law very well. That’s right, he was originally with the Crown Prince, but now, he’s ours. If you want to tell him, go ahead and tell him.”
Although Yu Wan said that, she knew in her heart that Han Jingshu would not complain to Yan Huaijing.
If she wanted to say something, she would have done so when she woke up. She first thanked her outside the Fengshai Palace, then reminded her to guard against the Empress. She clearly wanted to repay her for saving her life.
It was hard to say if they would turn against each other in the future, but at least for now, Yu Wan was sure that Han Jingshu would not harm her.
It seemed that what Han Jingshu said was true. The Empress really planned to trick her.
Footsteps came from outside the hall. The Empress was back! Han Jingshu quickly picked up her half-finished cup and returned to the chair opposite Yu
Wan.
“Hey! Gold!” Only then did Yu Wan remember the most important thing and gestured at her silently.
Han Jingshu frowned in confusion and mouthed, “What?”
“Gold!” Yu Wan stretched out an index finger and mouthed, “Ten thousand taels! I don’t accept verbal gratitude!”
“What?” Han Jingshu was at a loss.
The Empress came in. Yu Wan was about to despair. Why was her gold so difficult to get!
When the Empress entered the hall, she realized that the palace maids were not around. She could not help but ask, “Where did they go?”
Yu Wan said without changing her expression, “I think they heard Dabao and his two younger brothers crying and went to look for them.”
The Empress’s expression softened slightly. She turned to Han Jingshu and said, “It’s rare for you to enter the palace. Why don’t you go to Worthy
Consort’s place to sit? She misses you.”
Yu Wan bit her lip and looked at Han Jingshu. Don’t go—
Stay! You can leave after giving me the gold!
“Yes.” Han Jingshu bowed respectfully to the Empress and left.
Yu Wan felt like her soul had been sucked out. She collapsed weakly on the seat. She didn’t need to guess to know that Han Jingshu would return to the manor after visiting Worthy Consort Xu.. Her ten thousand taels of gold… would be gone again!
