Chapter 535: Scared? I'll give you two injections
"Don't think I dare not!"
"Of course Your Majesty dares, but if I don't even have the right to manage the backyard, I don't deserve to be the mistress!"
"You!" Prince Rui stretched out his hand and wanted to teach Princess Rui a lesson.
"Your Majesty, are you going to favor my concubine over my wife? Then go ahead and hit me!" Princess Rui was not afraid at all.
"So what do you want?!"
"I don't want to do anything. Concubine Shen made a mistake, so it's normal for me to punish her. And Miss Chen came to see us under the order of my aunt, so you and I have to cooperate obediently!"
"What does a country girl like her know?"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, Your Majesty. If you don't want to see it, go and tell your aunt yourself."
"Okay, okay, okay. I think this is OK!" Prince Rui sat down irritably.
Yao Qingnian ate the gossip about Prince Rui and Princess Rui at close range, trying to reduce her own presence as much as possible.
"Miss Chen, please show it to the prince."
"Yes, Princess Rui." Yao Qingnian stepped forward to check Prince Rui's pulse: "I have just examined the princess, and she has no problems."
"What do you mean? If she has no problem, then I have a problem. Can you treat her?!"
"That might be your problem."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I am just being realistic."
"You're the one with the problem."
"You'll know if there's a problem after you take a look. Your Majesty has already made a conclusion for me before I even feel my pulse. Why don't you become a doctor?"
"How dare you! If I knew medicine, what use would I have for you?"
"Then please shut up and be quiet." Yao Qingnian said, and began to take his pulse seriously.
There was nothing wrong with Prince Rui, but his pulse was so strange, as if something was controlling him, making it hard to figure out. It looked like poisoning, but not like it. Yao Qingnian frowned. After a long while, seeing that she didn't move and had an ugly expression, Nan Qing'er called out, "Miss Chen, how is the prince? Is there something wrong?"
Yao Qingnian finally reacted and replied with a smile: "Princess, the prince is fine, and two injections will be fine."
"Two injections?"
"Yes." Yao Qingnian took out a silver needle, waved it in front of his eyes, and then stabbed it towards King Rui.
"Ah! Go away!" Prince Rui was most afraid of needles. When the needle was inserted, he screamed in fear.
After a while, Yao Qingnian finally stopped. It was so refreshing to see him wailing. "Okay, Princess, Prince Rui's treatment is over. I'll calculate your ovulation period later. If you want to have a baby, you two need to promote affection and communication. Timing is also very important."
Prince Rui suspected that Yao Qingnian did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
"What you said is nonsense. Only the Empress Dowager would be fooled by you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first! By the way, you'd better keep your mouth shut about what happened today. If the Empress Dowager finds out, I will not forgive you." Prince Rui said with a warning, then turned and left.
"Princess Rui, I have something to ask you. Has Prince Rui shown any strange changes or behaviors recently?"
"Strange changes?" Nan Qing'er pondered for a moment and said, "There is nothing strange, but he has seldom gone out recently, and his temper has become much more irritable. Recently, Concubine Shen has been the first in everything. Whatever she says is the truth. As soon as he comes back, he runs to Concubine Shen's yard to accompany him. He hasn't even visited Aunt Wu for a long time. The prince used to love listening to Aunt Wu singing. He would go to her every few days and liked to drink with some friends. He hasn't been there recently. Those young masters even came to him specially to ask if the prince was sick or something happened. He didn't go out to play. Does this count?"
"Well... forget it!"
"Miss Chen, is there any problem?" Nan Qing'er asked puzzledly.
"I just checked King Rui's pulse and found a strange power, but I'm not sure whether it's good or bad."
"Strange powers?"
"This doesn't look like an illness. I've never encountered such a situation before. I'll go back and study it carefully. Princess Rui, please keep this matter secret for the time being. I'm worried that someone has attacked Prince Rui. However, this matter cannot be concluded yet and needs further confirmation. It's better not to make it public for the time being to avoid alerting the enemy."
"Someone wants to harm King Rui. How...how is this possible?"
"Princess Rui, please pretend you don't know about this."
"Okay! I'll listen to you. What should we do now?" Nan Qing'er couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although the prince didn't care about her, they were husband and wife after all. If something happened, she would not be in any good situation.
"I'll go back and ask someone. In a couple of days, if there's any news, I'll come to the palace." Yao Qingnian said softly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Chen."
"You're welcome, Princess! You don't need to take the medicine now. Wait until King Rui has investigated this matter thoroughly, then we can talk about other things."
"I'll take you out." Princess Rui was worried that Prince Rui or Shen Youran would come to cause trouble for her again, so she personally took her out of the house and gave her a lot of rewards.
After Yao Qingnian left, Nan Qing'er came to the ancestral hall, but did not see Shen Youran, so she knew that the prince must have gone to look for her again.
She walked towards Shen Youran's yard. Just as she arrived at the gate, she heard a voice coming from inside: "Prince, I really didn't do anything. It's all my sister's fault. She humiliated me as soon as she entered the mansion. Not only did she beat me, but she also made me kneel down. My knees hurt, wuwuwu..." Shen Youran said coquettishly while sitting in Prince Rui's arms.
"Alright, alright, don't be sad, I will rub it for you."
"Just now the princess asked me to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment! If I don't go, the princess will be angry later!"
"Let her be angry if she wants to. With me here, who dares to say anything?"
"Your Highness loves me the most. Thank you, Your Highness." She said coquettishly while lying in Prince Rui's arms.
"Concubine Shen is truly amazing. She has made the prince fall in love with her in broad daylight." Nan Qing'er walked in and looked at the two of them calmly.
"Princess, I dare not." Seeing her come in, Shen Youran said she dared not, but her body sat on Prince Rui motionless, her eyes full of provocation.
"Don't dare? I think you dare very much."
"My Lord, look at the princess."
"Okay, it's not a big deal. You are the mistress of the mansion. You need to be tolerant in order to manage the Rui Palace well."
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to do this? You forgot what happened just now so quickly. You are really forgetful!" Nan Qing'er sneered. If she didn't show her power, people would think she was easy to bully. What Yao Qingnian said just now was right. Since she couldn't change her fate, she should live the best life. Why should she, a princess, endure the cold eyes and provocations of a concubine?
"Nan Qing'er, don't be unreasonable!"
"I'm being unreasonable? Haha! The prince may be very powerful! Nanny, you personally take Concubine Shen to the ancestral hall and make her kneel down. Don't get up without my order! If she dares to disobey the order of this princess, you will teach Concubine Shen the rules!"
