After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 160 Visiting the East Palace at Night

The Queen's funeral lasted for three days.

After the military and civilians had finished their mourning for three days, Shen Yuyao decided to set off with Xia Yu early the next morning to return to the vassal state of Yanjing.

She clearly remembered that Xia Xiaoxian had mentioned in her heart that after the Queen's death, the Emperor's temperament changed drastically, which would lead to huge changes in the court!

The Ning Wang Mansion will be put on the fire. The only one who can eliminate the crisis for Xia Yu is the current Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Xia Yu's eldest brother.

Therefore, before leaving the capital, Shen Yuyao took the risk and went to the Eastern Palace.

Of course, she could only sneak into the East Palace under the cover of night.

Side hall of the East Palace.

As soon as Shen Yuyao jumped over the palace wall into the side hall, she saw that the courtyard of the side hall was full of palace servants.

They were all silent, except for an older nanny who stood in the middle of the yard and spoke excitedly.

When Shen Yuyao listened carefully, she realized that it was Lu's governess who was lecturing the palace maids of Concubine Anaj.

"Although the funeral of the Empress has ended, the Emperor has ordered that the military and civilians throughout the country only need to wear plain clothes for three days, but our East Palace and the various royal palaces need to mourn for a year."

"During this year, all palace maids and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace must wear plain clothes..."

Nanny Li was talking with saliva flying all over the place, and she really acted like a master even more than the concubine Anaj in the room.

Shen Yuyao sighed lightly and tiptoed from the corner of the wall to the back window of the side hall.

In the side hall.

Anaj was holding a one-year-old baby and coaxing him to sleep.

The candlelight on the round table suddenly began to sway as if there was wind blowing.

No, the window is closed.

Where does the wind come from?

Anaj concentrated and held her breath, listening carefully, and realized that someone had sneaked into her bedroom window.

Just as she was hesitating whether to shout, she suddenly heard a very low voice outside the rear window.

"Anaji, it's me, Shen Yuyao!"

She was very familiar with this voice.

Anaj's face lit up with joy, and she hurried to the back window and whispered in the same low voice: "Yuyao, wait until I ask the palace servants to leave before you come in."

"Ok!"

Anaj turned around and walked to the main entrance of the side hall, shouting outside, "Madame Li, please ask them to leave. It's late at night, don't disturb the little grandson."

After she said this, Nanny Li outside the door could only respond in a low voice.

After a brief burst of noise, the side hall of the East Palace returned to its usual silence.

Only then did Shen Yuyao slip into Anajji's side hall.

"Yuyao!" As soon as Anaj saw Shen Yuyao, she rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

"Anaj, long time no see!"

"Yeah, are you okay?" Anaj asked while pulling up Shen Yuyao's hands and looking her up and down.

"Yuyao, why do I feel like you've grown taller?"

In order to prove that what she said was true, Anaj even stood close to Shen Yuyao to compare her height.

When they parted a year ago, Shen Yuyao's eyebrows were only as high as Anajji's, but now they are almost the same height as Anajji.

Shen Yuyao was also full of surprise. She was already a mother, but she was still growing taller.

"Anaji, are you okay in the East Palace?"

"It's still peaceful for now, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that Mrs. Lu is indeed as you said. She dotes on the little grandson. The baby, who is only a little over one year old, is raised to be extremely delicate."

"During the Queen's funeral, the little grandson is weak, so the Crown Prince has allowed him to recuperate in my palace."

"The second grandson of the emperor, who was born to Lu, was raised by her in a rough manner and is in good health."

Although Shen Yuyao had already heard from Xia Xiaoxian's voice that the Crown Princess would praise and kill the third grandson born to Sister Chang.

But when it really came out from someone else's mouth, it was still shocking.

The human heart is the most unfathomable.

"Anaji, thank you for taking care of the third grandson. I came here today to bring him a recipe for strengthening his body. You must follow the recipe and find a way to make him take a bowl every week."

"This prescription will make the Third Grandson's pulse appear weak, but his body will actually be strong."

"As time goes by, I think the Lu family will no longer use other chronic poisons on the Third Emperor's grandson."

Shen Yuyao spoke slowly and softly.

But Anaj felt extremely heavy in her heart after hearing this.

The third grandson is just a one-year-old baby, but he has been deliberately spoiled since he was born.

The Lu family is truly sinister and vicious.

Anaji frowned and said, "Yuyao, the Imperial Pharmacy will have records of these medicinal materials. When they ask about them, how should I respond?"

"Don't worry, these are common herbs for regulating and replenishing qi. Just follow the prescription and take the medicine. The imperial physician won't be able to tell what's wrong."

"Just put one of my special pills in each bowl of decoction as a medicine inducer." Shen Yuyao took out a small bottle full of pills from her arms and handed it to Anaj.

"Hmm!" Anaji finally understood that the mystery lies in this medicinal ingredient.

After Anaj had collected the prescription and the medicine, Shen Yuyao said to her, "Here is another painting. You can give it to the prince in ten days."

"Tell the prince that this painting was given by Ning Wangfei. I hope that if Ning Wang is in trouble one day, the prince will help save him!"

Seeing Anajji's surprised face, Shen Yuyao explained, "This painting depicts the time when my father was defeated by the enemy when he started a rebellion. At that time, my father was chased by the enemy and there was no way to go up or down. It was the story of my mother who just passed away carrying him all the way to escape."

"Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, the Emperor's violent temper may lead to a conflict with the Crown Prince. You should have the Crown Prince keep this painting in his arms at all times. In times of crisis, he can deliberately reveal the painting and escape the disaster."

Shen Yuyao spoke slowly and she knew very well that the fundamental reason why Anaj was neglected by the prince was because of her.

That day, Shen Yuyao was eager to make a contribution, so she brought Anaj to the East Palace, but unfortunately the Crown Princess had a difficult delivery.

The prince believed what Lu said and thought that it was Anaj who caused the princess's difficult labor, so he took his anger out on her.

Shen Yuyao asked Anajji to pass the painting on to the prince in order to change his attitude towards Anajji so that he could take better care of the third grandson born to Sister Chang.

Ever since the death of the Crown Princess, Anaj has known that Shen Yuyao has the ability to predict the future, so she believes in what she says without a doubt.

She nodded hurriedly and said, "Yuyao, I'll remember that."

Before leaving the East Palace, Shen Yuyao whispered to Anajji: "The character of the third grandson must be corrected in the future, but it must not be discovered by Lu."

Anaj said: "Yuyao, don't worry, I will not let Lu get what he wants."

After saying goodbye to Anaj, Shen Yuyao returned to Prince Ning's villa in the capital.

As soon as I pushed open the gate, a black thing came towards me!
