Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 346: Start to Pack Up the Painting

Qin Xin couldn't help but ask, "Princess, why did Chundie eat that lychee?"

"I often go to Xingheyuan. I am familiar with Chundie. She really won't steal anything, and she doesn't have the courage to steal anything."

"She is so honest that she doesn't even resist when she is bullied. Huayi often assigns her a lot of rough and tiring work, but she never complains. She would rather not sleep or eat to finish the work. She is very stubborn."

"Princess, how dare someone like you steal the only lychee that the prince brought back for Huayi?"

Shen Wantang was silent for a long time before saying, "I didn't say she ate it secretly. Maybe someone gave her the bad lychee on purpose."

Huayi had eaten fresh lychees before, so she must have known that the lychees Xiao Qingyuan gave her were rotten.

She was pregnant and loved her baby very much. She was afraid that there might be something in the food in the palace that could cause her to have a miscarriage, so she ate very little in the past two days.

There was no way she would eat the bad lychee Xiao Qingyuan gave her.

Qin Xin and Xia Chan both said that Chun Die could not possibly eat anything secretly.

Then there is only one reason left - the lychees were given by Huayi to Chundie.

This answer made Shen Wantang feel a chill in her heart. She knew that Huayi was scheming and manipulative, but she didn't expect that Huayi would be so cruel.

"Princess, are you saying that Huayi gave the bad lychees to Chundie?"

Qin Xin was furious: "This Hua Yi is really not a good person. She is so evil-minded that she actually killed Chun Die like this!"

"Poor Chundie, she is so young, and she has to do the dirty and tiring work for her every day. She has made her hands slender and tender, but Chundie's hands are so rough!"

"Princess, we can't just let her go like this. She's too vicious! Please kick her out of the palace!"

Madam Chai said, "We really can't do anything to Huayi now. First, she has captured the heart of the prince. For her, the prince went crazy and ran to the Duke's Mansion to snatch her away. If the prince's wife makes a move on Huayi at this time, the prince will definitely not let it go!"

"Secondly, Huayi has the prince's child, which is equivalent to having a golden ticket to immunity from death. She cannot be beaten or scolded."

"Princess, please don't listen to Qin Xin's nonsense. She doesn't understand the seriousness of this!"

"If you drive Huayi away at this time, the prince will fight you to the death, and he might even ask for a divorce. If that happens, you will have fallen into Huayi's trap!"

"I saw Huayi not even kneeling when she saw you today. Her ambition is obvious! She wants to replace you and become the Crown Prince's consort!"

After Nanny Chai finished her words, cold sweat broke out on Qin Xin's forehead.

She said quickly, "Madame Chai is right, Crown Prince's Consort, I have overstepped my authority. I am talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart!"

Shen Wantang waved his hand: "It's okay, you can say whatever you want, but I know what to do."

Qin Xin was a little worried: "You're not really going to do anything to Hua Yi, are you?"

"Shouldn't we take action against her? She is ambitious and ruthless. People like her should be punished."

"But she's pregnant, what about the prince? If you touch her, the prince will go crazy at you again. Otherwise, you can just be patient? Let's wait until she gives birth to the baby before we talk about it."

"Don't worry, my lord. Don't endure it anymore. When I gave the painting to you, I was already prepared for this day."

Qin Xin's eyes finally lit up: "What do you want to do? Do you need my help?"

"Indeed."

"What can a servant do? Please give me your orders, Princess!"

"Go get a packet of turmeric powder and give it to Xia Chan. Let her apply it on her face and hands tonight."

Although Qin Xin didn't understand her intention, she immediately agreed: "Yes! I will go and give her turmeric powder right away!"

After taking the turmeric powder and about to leave, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Princess, will this turmeric powder cause Huayi to have a miscarriage?"

Shen Wantang looked at her helplessly: "Nonsense, how could I use such a despicable method to deal with her? What's more, even if she is guilty, the child in her belly is innocent. The child should not pay the price for what she did."

Qin Xin stuck out her tongue: "I thought you were going to be ruthless to Hua Yi."

Shen Wantang nodded: "I am going to be ruthless to her, but not the kind of ruthlessness you think. It will be even more ruthless."

Qin Xin felt excited. Is the Crown Princess going to use a more ruthless method?

She looked at the small packet of turmeric powder in her hand. Could it be that this could kill Huayi? That shouldn't be the case. Turmeric powder seems to be just a medicine that can relieve pain and promote qi circulation, right? It can't kill people!

Qin Xin muttered to herself, picked up the turmeric powder and went out.

Shen Wantang instructed Madam Chai: "Madam, when Chundie's family arrives, you should personally comfort them and give them more money. Ask them to choose a Feng Shui treasured place for Chundie to be buried properly."

"Yes, Crown Princess."

-

Day two.

Early in the morning, there was a commotion in Xinghe Courtyard.

Xia Chan knelt in the yard and cried and begged: "Miss Huayi, please, don't chase me away!"

Huayi stood far away from her: "Xia Chan, you are seriously ill. If you stay in the prince's courtyard, I'm afraid you will pass on the disease to the prince. For the safety of the prince, you must leave. Do you want to kill the prince?"

Xia Chan's face and hands were sallow, and she was crying breathlessly: "I'm not sick, I'm... I'm..."

This is the turmeric powder that Qinxin applied to her!

Qin Xin didn't tell her why she had to apply it. She just said that it was given to her by the Crown Prince's Consort.

Xia Chan didn't know Shen Wantang's intention, and she didn't dare to expose Qin Xin. She could only cry and beg Huayi: "Miss Huayi, please be kind and don't chase me away. My family still needs me to earn money to support my brothers and sisters! Now that you are pregnant, many jobs are inconvenient to do. I can do it. I can do everything! If you chase me away, who will work for you?"

Huayi sighed: "I don't want to chase you away from the bottom of my heart, but I have no choice. Your illness looks too scary. If the prince wants to chase you away, my words will not count."

She really didn't want to drive Xia Chan away. After all, if Xia Chan left, there would be no one to do the work.

But for the sake of the baby in her belly, Xia Chan had to go.

Who knows if she is really sick, or if someone is deliberately doing this and wants to use Xia Chan to harm her child!

Xiao Qingyuan walked out of the house: "It's really unlucky, one died, one got sick, why is my yard so unlucky? Xia Chan, leave quickly, I don't want to see you again!"

When he sees the summer cicadas, he will think of the spring butterflies, and he will remember that the rotten lychee may have killed a life.

He didn't sleep well last night. He repeatedly dreamed that Chundie's vengeful ghost was looking for him to take his life. He was so scared that he had nightmares and woke up several times.

This summer cicada cannot be kept!
