Chapter 274 Jealousy
Chapter 274 Jealousy
"I don't know what you are talking about, Ye Ting Ling." Sui Wan lowered her eyes expressionlessly, very impatient.
"Well, please help me get the teapot that Auntie Suiwan used to pour tea for the Empress. Thank you."
Xiaoji's eyes widened instantly, looked at the cup in Shen Ningyue's hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Queen didn't drink it, otherwise it would have been so dirty if something was hidden in it.
Ye Shixin took the teapot and poured out the tea before opening the lid and turning the teapot upside down.
Three dull yellow pearls suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes in the tea leaves.
Ye Shixin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the real pearl. Looking at Sui Wan's somewhat gray face and dejected spirit, she smiled and said:
"Aunt Sui Wan, can you explain to the Empress, Lady Shi, and me what is going on with these three pearls? Do you want me to call the eunuch who accidentally saw you change the pearls and then tried to spy on you hiding the pearls in the teapot to confront you?"
Sui Wan crawled forward on her knees, looking up at Qing Zhang with tearful eyes.
"Qing Zhang, someone must have wronged me. Fortunately, you and the royal heir are in good luck, so nothing happened to you. Please save me, Qing Zhang!" It was not that she wanted to die and refuse to admit it, but she hoped that Qing Zhang would be soft-hearted and give her a way out, so that she could admit her mistake in private. She wanted to live.
Qing Zhang looked up at Shen Ningyue, hesitant.
Shen Ningyue patted her hands and said, "Everyone standing, except Pu Jie, Xiao Ji, and Ye Shixin, please go out."
"Yes, Queen."
"Wait, do you know what you should and shouldn't say?"
"The servants know, my lady."
Shen Ningyue nodded and waved her hand.
The only people left in the room were Shi Qingzhang who was lying down, Shen Ningyue, Pu Jie, Xiao Ji, Ye Shixin, the eunuch in charge of the palace, and Sui Wan and his eight companions who were being escorted by two eunuchs.
Shi Qingzhang frowned and asked, "Why? Can you tell me the truth now?"
Sui Wan's face was covered with tears and snot, and he looked miserable in front of everyone.
"Qing Zhang, I'm jealous of you. Why are you the only one who is so lucky to be the adopted mother of the eldest prince and the concubine of His Majesty?
Your future is bright. The children you give birth to will all be royal nobles.
And what about me? Our futures are so different, I can't help but hate you!
These days, I've seen you gradually distance yourself from me. I've tried my best to please you, and even tried to please the Crown Prince for you. Not only did you turn a blind eye, you even wanted to send me out of the palace.
Back then, under the moonlight, we promised to share adversity and prosperity. You must have forgotten everything. Before I leave the palace, I want to bite a piece of your flesh and blood, to make you suffer, and to vent my resentment. "
Sui Wan lowered his head again and sneered, "Kill me or chop me up, it's up to you, Qing Zhang. I'm ambitious and jealous. Is this your first day knowing me? You are so naive!"
Listening to Sui Wan analyzing her heart, Shi Qingzhang sat up, clutching the quilt covering her body, and shaking with anger.
"Have I ever done anything wrong to you?" Shi Qingzhang raised a pillow and smashed it on Sui Wan's face, furious.
"I'm lucky, but I'm wrong, right? I was wrong to promote you to Lanlin Palace to be the head maid of the Lanlin Palace, right? You are so ambitious, why don't you become a female official step by step like Lord Ye? You are so capable, why don't you let His Majesty take you into the room and make you a concubine? Jealous, jealous, you are only jealous, ambitious but without any self-awareness. Fortunately, the prince in my belly is fine, otherwise I will cut you into pieces!"
"I know my crime. Lady Shi, just pretend you have never met a despicable person like me."
"Drag him away." Shen Ningyue ordered the two eunuchs who were holding Sui Wan in a cold voice, then turned around and took Shi Qingzhang's hand to comfort him, saying gently, "Don't clench your fist. You're going to bleed. It's not worth it."
"Yes, it's not worth it."
"Have a good sleep first, the child is important."
"Thank you, Queen."
