Chapter 163 Using a fake to win favor!
Su Mowan returned to Huangfeng Garden, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it, then forgot what she was supposed to do.
Yinshuang watched silently, without saying a word.
However, after Su Mowan poured three cups of tea in a row, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Consort Su, you're going to catch a cold if you drink so much tea."
"Yes, it's the change of seasons recently, and the weather is dry, so drinking more tea is a good idea."
Su Mowan put down her teacup, leaned lazily against the table, and muttered in confusion, "I haven't been tired these past two days, so why do I feel so listless?"
A smile flashed in Yinshuang's eyes as she silently poured another cup of tea.
"Perhaps it's because of the recent dry weather that I can't seem to muster any energy."
As soon as Yinshuang finished speaking, Su Mowan realized why she couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
A dull ache was coming from my lower abdomen.
This is clearly a sign that my period is about to start!
Sure enough, not long afterward, Su Mowan sensed something was wrong.
"Yinshuang, you can go out first. I need to take a nap and rest."
Yinshuang looked at her in surprise upon hearing this.
"Are you going to sleep now? Lunch is coming up soon."
"You guys eat first, I'll talk to you after I wake up!"
As Su Mowan spoke, she got up and went into the bedroom. Only when she heard Yinshuang's footsteps as she left did she feel relieved.
She is currently pregnant, so she can't let Yinshuang know that she's on her period. Otherwise, Wei Mama might find out, then the Empress might find out, and then Emperor Moyao might find out.
Although Murong Jing started the crime of deceiving the emperor, she also boarded the pirate ship.
After tidying everything up, Su Mowan took off her soiled clothes, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them under the bed, planning to figure out how to dispose of the body under Yinshuang's nose after she woke up from her nap.
Unfortunately, when she woke up from a drowsy nap while clutching her aching lower abdomen, she found a cat and a person standing in front of her bed.
There are still some that weren't destroyed in time...
Su Mowan touched her forehead with one hand to hide her embarrassment.
"Ahem, Yinshuang, let me explain."
The kitten raised its head and glanced at the two of them, then meowed at the pile of dirty clothes on the ground!
Su Mowan glared at him secretly.
That little thing is so mean!
They actually betrayed her!
Yinshuang stared at the mess of clothes on the ground, then glanced at Su Mowan's pale face, and calmly asked, "Consort Su, did you and the Prince conspire to deceive the Emperor and Empress?"
Su Mowan could no longer deny it, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
She had no choice but to confess to Yinshuang: "This was Murong Jing's doing. I just didn't expose him in time!"
Yinshuang's expression was indescribable, and she finally muttered, "No wonder the prince is so nervous."
"What did you say?"
Su Mowan was in severe abdominal pain and didn't pay attention.
Yinshuang composed herself and said, "Consort Su, rest assured, since this was His Highness's idea, I will not tell anyone. However, you do not look well. Shouldn't you call a doctor?"
Su Mowan waved her hand weakly.
"It's no use seeing a doctor; it'll be fine in a couple of days."
After saying that, his face paled even more, and he had no choice but to crawl back under the covers, only sticking his head out to say to Yinshuang, "It seems I won't be able to go out tomorrow. You keep an eye on Hualou."
"do not worry."
Yinshuang bent down and picked up a wad of clothes.
Now it's up to her to handle this. Qinghe can't know about this; she's a chatterbox and it's very likely she'll tell Granny Wei.
Just as she was about to leave, Yinshuang turned back for one last look and couldn't help but say, "If you are feeling unwell, I should tell the Prince."
Upon hearing this, Su Mowan, who was huddled under the covers, was about to jump up.
"No! Please don't say that! I feel terrible right after Shen Murui passed by. People who don't know better will think I'm faking it."
Su Mowan probably didn't even know what she was saying anymore, and after she finished speaking, she let out a soft hum.
Being a woman is so miserable!
However, these words sounded interesting to Yinshuang, who quietly left the bedroom with her clothes in her arms.
A short while later, Yinshuang brought in a bowl of hot red date porridge.
Su Mowan's nose caught that familiar scent.
Normally, she would never eat something so sweet, but the situation is different now.
After she gritted her teeth and finished a bowl of porridge, Yinshuang said, "I heard that Madam Shen has been going to Fenghua Palace these past two days."
Yinshuang's words only made Su Mowan feel her lower abdomen ache even more. She handed her the empty bowl and leaned against the headboard with a frown.
"Let whoever wants to go go. I can barely take care of myself, so don't talk to me about such trivial matters."
Yinshuang lowered her head silently, a faint smile in her eyes, and withdrew after giving a reply.
And so, Su Mowan lay motionless on the bed for a day, and the same thing happened the next day. However, Yinshuang went to the painting pavilion, and Qinghe became the person serving her.
Qinghe speaks much more directly than Yinshuang, and generally doesn't think before she speaks.
Such as now.
"Consort Su, where exactly are you feeling unwell? I think we should find a doctor to take a look, or perhaps we could speak to the Prince and request the imperial physicians from the palace!"
Su Mowan perked up upon hearing the words "imperial physician".
"No need! I was just too tired the past two days, I'll be fine after another day of rest."
What a joke! Let the imperial physician take your pulse, and then nothing will be left unsaid!
Clearly, that wasn't Qinghe's main point. She glared at him and said angrily, "Why do you work yourself to the bone while other women get to live a carefree life?"
Su Mowan didn't have the energy to care about her, and casually replied, "Working yourself to death? It's not that serious."
"Isn't this serious?"
Qinghe frowned.
"You have no idea how arrogant the people in the East Courtyard have been these past two days! I just saw Caiwei when I went out of the courtyard gate, and she actually rolled her eyes at me! It's true what they say, when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"
Su Mowan was amused by Qinghe's words.
She clutched her lower abdomen and said, "It's just a glare, I'll glare back next time, is that something you're going to hold a grudge about?"
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Qinghe became anxious.
"This servant doesn't care about that glare, what I care about is you! What's going on between you and the Prince these past few days, letting the newly arrived Madam Shen get away with it! She goes to Fenghua Palace every day, goes there after lunch, and doesn't return to the East Courtyard until sunset! Every single day!"
The smile in Su Mowan's eyes faded slightly.
She said casually, "Let her run away. Shen Murui looks pretty good. Your prince probably likes this kind of person."
Qinghe scoffed dismissively.
"What? How could the Prince possibly like Madam Shen? Is it just because Madam Shen looks a little like you? Look how smug those people in the East Courtyard are!"
Su Mowan was taken aback by Qinghe's words.
Shen Murui and she look somewhat alike?
Why doesn't she think so...?
The key point is, what does this have to do with whether it looks like the real thing?
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm tired. Go do what you need to do."
Qinghe's eyes widened: "This servant is not talking nonsense. Otherwise, why isn't it Consort Shen? Why isn't it Madam Liu who entered the palace at the same time? It has to be Madam Shen! She is so insidious. She actually took advantage of your quarrel with the Prince to create a fake to compete for his favor!"
Su Mowan: "..."
