Yu Sangning hired someone to push Madam Yu into the lake, and then poisoned the man to death with a dripping angel. She then became the benefactor who risked her life to rescue Madam Yu from the lake, and thus gained Madam Yu's favor.
Later, in order to stand out, she drugged Yu Sangzi at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, causing a rash on Yu Sangzi's face. She also suggested that Yu Sangzi dance with a mask on and temporarily changed the dance music. Naturally, the palace musicians could not cooperate, so Yu Sangning accompanied her on stage, thus achieving the reputation of the two beauties of the Yu family.
Since then, Yu Sangzi, who had always been at odds with her, has changed her mind and truly treats her as a sister.
Yu Sangning is accustomed to appearing in front of her favorite prey in the manner of a benefactor, trying to gain their favor by showing goodwill. However, these people do not know that all the evil is caused by her.
If the Queen Mother had not mentioned that the sachet was given by Yu Sangning, and Shen Xihe had not happened to witness Yu Sangning's previous two heroic deeds, she would not have suspected someone so baselessly.
Although it is possible that she was overthinking it, she still needed to remind Xiao Huayong to prevent Yu Sangning from really doing this. Once she tasted the sweetness, it would be difficult for her to stop and she would become even more aggressive in the future.
The Queen Mother is a special person to Xiao Huayong, and Shen Xihe does not want to cause regret in his heart because of his negligence.
"Oh, thank you." Xiao Huayong held Shen Xihe's hand. "I am a son. Even if I go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother every day, the Queen Mother always reports good news but not bad news. It is not easy for me to place someone in the Queen Mother's palace and ruin the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren. Therefore, I am bound to neglect the Queen Mother."
Shen Xihe smiled and said, "I will take better care of the Queen Mother in the future and will not let others harm her."
You treat my loved ones as your loved ones, and I will naturally treat your loved ones as my loved ones.
This has always been what Shen Xihe feels is the highest state of relationship between husband and wife, understanding and tolerating each other, being honest with each other, and protecting each other's relatives and people they care about.
"Yoyo, please stay for dinner. My twelfth brother sent you a roe deer. I asked Jiuzhang to make some fresh food." Xiao Huayong made the invitation.
Recently, Emperor Youning has started taking people hunting in the mountains and forests near the palace. Every time he brings a few princes, but he has never brought Xiao Huayong with him. Instead, he has handed over more and more government affairs to Xiao Huayong. It is impossible to ignore Xiao Huayong's status and the emperor's mind. If he really wants someone to be respected, he has thousands of ways to do it.
The meat of roe deer was delicate and tender, and Shen Xihe liked it very much. In the cool palace, even roasted meat could whet her appetite. By the time she had dinner, Tian Yuan had quietly found out everything about the days when the empress dowager couldn't sleep.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there was nothing unusual in the Queen Mother's bedroom from the 12th to the 15th." Tian Yuan reported.
"Nothing unusual?" Xiao Huayong turned his head to look at Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe pondered for a moment: "Are there any differences in the things placed in the Queen Mother's room?"
"What are the things on display?" Tian Yuan considered his words carefully. "It's different every day."
Some flowers and plants would be placed in the bedrooms of the Empress Dowager and concubines every day. These things were changed every day, and there was no regular pattern as to what to change. They were all assigned by the eunuchs, or the master had special instructions that day and ordered them to be prepared.
