She was Shen Koudan's elder sister, so she should have come over to see if her younger sister was sick. But as for Su Wanqing, she didn't seem to have a reason.

Su Wanqing snorted: "Yuan Huigege asked me to come here, upon hearing that Ninth Imperial Consort is sick, I specifically came to visit. Why, Royal granddaughter consort doesn't welcome me?"

"Of course."

The moment Song Yuanhui was mentioned, his tone became much gentler, but when she thought about what he saw just now, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"That's strange, Su Xiaojie is so fond of the Ninth Prince, why would the Ninth Prince marry my sister and not Su Xiaojie?"

Su Wanqing had liked Song Yuanhui for many years.

She knew deeply what meant by that. Su Wanqing was the niece of Song Yuanhui's mother, the Rong Imperial consort, and the two families were blood related, so they were exceptionally close.

Shen Kouqing had thought that Song Yuanhui would marry Su Wanqing, but she did not expect that he would actually marry Shen Koudan. Of course, she contributed a lot to the marriage.

As if Shen Kouqing had stabbed him in the face, Su Wanqing's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes became filled with tears.

"Is what I said wrong?" Shen Kouqing seemed as if he hadn't seen Su Wanqing's changing expression and feigned pity: "Su Xiaojie, now that the Ninth Prince has married my little sister, if Su Xiaojie were to marry her again in the future, I'm afraid she would only be able to be a concubine."

"You're lying, I won't be a concubine. Yuan Huigege promised me that I would be a concubine!"

Su Wanqing was enraged by Shen Kouqing and could not help but shout out.

However, just as she finished speaking, her expression immediately changed. She quickly covered her mouth and looked around, afraid that someone would see.

Shen Kouqing almost laughed out loud.

No wonder people always say pigs are stupid.

Originally, she only made random guesses, Su Wanqing could totally reject her offer. However, hearing her words, it indeed meant that there was such a thing.

Without even fighting, Shen Kouqing actually thought that she was extremely stupid.

Su Wanqing stomped her feet in anger, turned and ran away.

She was extremely puzzled, she would always have the upper hand when fighting with Shen Kouqing normally, what was going on today?

A sharp-tongued little bitch!

Su Wanqing cursed in her heart as she quickly left the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Shen Kouqing smiled faintly, but did not comment.

She did not forget the reason for her visit today, so she headed towards Shen Koudan's room again.

When Shen Kouqing arrived, Song Yuanhui was feeding Shen Koudan medicine, Shen Koudan purposely showed it to Shen Kouqing, trying to make her jealous. But Shen Kouqing did not have any reaction, it was as if Shen Koudan did not see anything at all.

She came here for a clear reason, put down the things in her hands and left, not staying long at all.

But when Shen Kouqing left in such a hurry, Shen Koudan felt guilty.

She could not help but laugh complacently, thinking that Shen Kouqing liked Song Yuanhui.

Shen Kouqing came out from the Ninth Prince's Mansion with mixed feelings.

In these past few days, she kept dreaming about her miserable condition from her previous life. Rather than saying that her father was killed by Song Yuanhui, it would be more accurate to say that Shen Kouqing was the biggest trigger.

Ting Zhu realized that something was wrong with Shen Kouqing and asked softly, "Empress, what's wrong?"

Shen Kouqing regained her senses, but the moment she saw Ting Zhu, her heart thumped loudly.

In his previous life, Su Wanqing was pregnant, and after that, he lost his footing in a small family. Su Wanqing insisted that Shen Kouqing had harmed her child, and although Shen Kouqing tried her best to defend herself, Song Yuanhui did not listen to him, and kept her under house arrest.

Ting Zhu ran to the front of the imperial court to beg to see Song Yuanhui, hoping to release Shen Kouqing, to wash away her grievances, but she was beaten to death by Song Yuanhui.

Shen Kouqing did not know about this matter. After knowing for an entire two days, she realized that Ting Zhu had disappeared, and thus, she quickly searched for him. Su Wanqing had come to visit her, and kindly told her about Ting Zhu's death.

Shen Kouqing's hatred towards Song Yuanhui had reached its peak.

"Why is the Empress looking at this servant like that?" Ting Zhu was a little confused.

Shen Kouqing's eyes were heavy with sorrow, regret, and anger.

Shen Kouqing shook her head.

She suddenly grabbed Ting Zhu's hand and said sincerely: "Ting Zhu, in a few years, I will find a good family for you to marry to. Don't waste your life just because of me."

Ting Zhu's face reddened, and reprimanded: "What is the Empress saying? Ting Zhu has served you for so many years, how can she bear to leave …."

Shen Kouqing said: "Even if our relationship is good, we can't delay you. If you don't marry now, in a few years you will really become an old lady. When that time comes, even if you want to marry, you won't be able to."

"Then I can't get married!"

Ting Zhu intimately pulled on Shen Kouqing's arm, "This servant only wants to accompany the Empress forever. The Empress is too lonely by herself, Ting Zhu really can't bear it anymore."

Shen Kouqing's nose stung, and she felt the urge to cry.

She tilted her head and let out a long breath.

No matter what, she had to change Ting Zhu's outcome and not let her die a miserable death!

As the two of them were walking back to the residence, on the way back, someone called out to Shen Kouqing.

Shen Kouqing turned her head and saw Song Yuanling walking towards her.

"Greetings Royal granddaughter consort." Song Yuanling bowed towards Shen Kouqing.

Although Shen Kouqing was younger than him and her seniority was also younger, she was still a born Royal granddaughter consort, so there was naturally a need for etiquette.

Shen Kouqing bowed slightly, made a slight bow, and smiled: "Why are you so free now, Sixth Prince?"

Song Yuanling said: "Originally, I did not have the time to come out. Imperial Physician Li died suddenly at the Little Duke's Palace, and is taking care of some matters now, I have come here specifically to thank the Royal granddaughter consort, if not for the Royal granddaughter consort finding out what is going on, I'm afraid that Little Wang would already be locked up in the prison."

Song Yuanling laughed at himself.

He was truly incompetent. It was one thing if he didn't know how to harm others, but now that he had been harmed, he had no way to fight back. Yesterday, when Imperial Physician Li died, he really thought he was finished.

In his previous life, Song Yuanling had already been the scapegoat for Song Yuanhui, and had also helped Song Yuanhui clear the last obstacle on his way to becoming the emperor.

Who didn't want the position of Emperor? Song Yuanling was no exception, but he had evil intentions and no courage, he was suspicious of Song Yuanhui's personality, in order to avoid future troubles, he set Imperial Physician Li's death on Song Yuanling's body as a scapegoat.

Shen Kouqing replied: "How can a small matter like this bother you. Sixth Prince doesn't need to worry about it."

She had already decided long ago that no matter who Song Yuanhui tried to harm, she would save.
