How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 590: Sister, There’s Something Wrong With the Food

Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Sister, There’s Something Wrong With the Food

The surname of Princess Consort Jing is Dong, and the Emperor granted her the name "Jing" because she carries a calming strength.

Whenever the Emperor is troubled, he likes to visit Princess Consort Jing the most.

Thus, Princess Consort Jing always holds a certain status in the Imperial Palace.

Princess Consort Jing had just sent the Emperor off when the little eunuch arrived with a letter.

The little eunuch said, "Princess Consort Jing, here is a letter for you."

Princess Consort Jing saw that the letter was sent by Aunt Dong, and she knew the matter was likely accomplished.

After all, with Aunt Dong’s help and her own connections.

It’s just dealing with a rootless Seventeenth Prince and a talentless Princess Consort; how could it not succeed?

However, as she opened the letter, the more she read, the worse her expression became.

Finally, she took a deep breath and threw the letter into the incense burner to burn it.

Ultimately, she underestimated Pei Shu’er and the Seventeenth Prince.

Princess Consort Jing carefully contemplated what strategy could make the Seventeenth Prince and Pei Shu’er suffer together.

Soon, she thought of a suitable plan and coldly smiled, assuring those two wouldn’t cause any more fuss.

Meanwhile, Pei Shu’er continued treating Pei Yu’s health.

Pei Yu’s aftereffects had been completely eradicated, and even his constitution had greatly improved.

He’s even healthier than before he got sick.

When Pei Yu was leaving, he glanced at Shen Wanqing.

"Wanqing, let’s go home together."

Shen Wanqing scoffed, "No need, I’ve already bought the property next to Prince Zhan Mansion, and it’s already refurbished."

Though she said she bought it, that was not actually the case.

Even though she had earned money, Pei Shu’er was the one who bought the property.

Despite being only half the size of Prince Zhan Mansion, it was still larger than Pei Mansion and quite spacious for their family.

Even the renovation was done by Pei Shu’er; she didn’t have to worry about anything.

Now, they were gradually moving things over, just awaiting a good day for the official move.

They even arranged for guards, using the refugees Pei Shu’er saved outside the city, along with some from Prince Zhan Mansion.

So the quality was undeniably high.

She truly felt having a daughter like Pei Shu’er was her blessing earned through good deeds.

Now she could live happily with her daughter.

She didn’t want to be entangled with Pei Yu, being with such a man was genuinely unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yu, with a smile, shamelessly said,

"Coincidentally, I’ve grown tired of Pei Mansion, staying at your purchased house could work."

Hearing this, Shen Wanqing admired Pei Yu’s brazen face.

How could he say such things with such dignity?

Why should he stay at the house her daughter bought for her?

She bought the house to escape Pei Yu and his concubines.

If Pei Yu moved in, over time, those concubines might also follow.

Inviting someone may be easy, but getting them to leave is hard.

Thinking of this made her expression grim.

"If you’re tired of Pei Mansion, you could buy a house elsewhere; after all, the Minister of Rites shouldn’t be without funds, right?"

Pei Yu chuckled, "I truly have no money; I’ve always been an honest official."

Shen Wanqing’s smile was not heartfelt.

Once Pei Shu’er settled Shen Wanqing in the house next door and arranged guards,

only then did she rest assured, planning to leave the Capital to find Tang Zan.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yu truly moved over.

No matter how much Shen Wanqing resisted, she was unable to contest Pei Yu.

In the end, she could only treat Pei Yu as invisible.

Speaking of which, they hadn’t seen each other for two months, and the situation in Lin State was still a stalemate.

First was the lack of supplies; secondly, the opponent’s numbers were truly increasing.

Pei Shu’er knew that Tang Zan’s battle was crucial in stalling for reinforcements, but she didn’t want him stuck in a predicament without supplies.

What’s more, the outside weather was scorching, and Lin State’s drought was severe.

She had researched a water finder but hadn’t yet tried it, unsure of its effectiveness.

At Prince Mansion, she hadn’t found suitable underground water.

Just as Pei Shu’er was leaving the city, she heard a voice calling sister from behind.

Looking far, she couldn’t see anyone amidst the yellow sand.

Zhen Xu casually remarked, "It’s your dear brother."

Pei Shu’er had the carriage stop, waiting for Yan Huan Yu.

Upon seeing Yan Huan Yu, his face was smiling.

"Sister, why didn’t you tell me about leaving the city? If I hadn’t happened to visit Prince Zhan Mansion looking for you today, I wouldn’t have known you left."

Pei Shu’er smiled faintly.

"I must go find Tang Zan."

Yan Huan Yu’s eyes showed a fleeting hint of disappointment before he chuckled, "Then let me accompany you, sister. I also want to see the rebel army and think of solutions."

Pei Shu’er had no reason to refuse and nodded, "Alright."

Lin State is 200 miles from the Capital, and it couldn’t be reached in a day, so they rested at an inn that night.

The inn’s meals were decent, but Pei Shu’er was preoccupied and ate little, overlooking whether the food was problematic.

She finished eating first and sat discussing the next day’s plans when she felt her body warming.

Others’ cheeks were flush, fanning themselves continuously, their gazes unfocused.

Yan Huan Yu couldn’t resist moving closer to Pei Shu’er.

As Pei Shu’er turned, she saw Yan Huan Yu’s eyes were hazy, silently watching her.

His gaze was deep, and Pei Shu’er had never seen Yan Huan Yu like that.

Yan Huan Yu’s Adam’s apple bobbed once, softly calling.

"Sister, something’s wrong with this dish."

Pei Shu’er fanned herself and reviewed the situation; some guards’ looks towards her had changed.

There were only two women present, Lin Fengying and her.

With 20 men around.

If...the drug took effect, the consequences would be dire.

Their reputations would be ruined, and their lives might be at risk.

She bit her tongue hard.

Seeing Pei Shu’er, Yan Huan Yu worriedly grasped her chin with a burning palm, full of concern.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Pei Shu’er urgently replied, "I must create an antidote, or we’re doomed."

Men were coming towards Pei Shu’er; Yan Huan Yu quickly lifted her.

Fearful of entering a room due to their current state--even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t exonerate them.

Besides, he’d worried about losing control.

They merely reached the upstairs corridor.

And summoned the Hidden Guard.

"Guard, bind everyone downstairs and protect the stairway."
