Chapter 29: Booklet Written by Zhenbei Hou

Bai Jinxiu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and spoke slowly in a sobbing voice: "I was originally a maid in the family. Something happened in the Marquis's mansion that day. I accidentally hit my head in a panic and had no memory when I woke up. The Marquis said that I was the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and I thought..."

The Queen Mother looked at her with obvious disappointment and said, "So you didn't know?"

Sheng Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Bai Jinxiu, have you really lost your memory?"

Bai Jinxiu lowered her head and said, "Jinxiu is not very clear about the past..." She looked up at Sheng Yunqing and said, "Prince Ye came to the Marquis' Mansion to discuss our marriage long before Yunqing came to the capital. It's just that when the dust was about to settle, Yunqing happened to come back..."

At this point, everyone started whispering again.

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Bai Jinxiu, saying, "Then the one Chen'er wanted to marry, the one the Emperor ordered to be engaged, was it you who had always been there?"

Bai Jinxiu lowered her head again as a sign of agreement.

With that said, it seems like Sheng Yunqing is taking advantage of the situation!
She laughed softly and said nothing.

"But you are not the daughter of the Marquisate after all. How can you be worthy of Prince Ye?"

"Yes, King Ye has such a prominent status that only a noble lady from the capital can be worthy of him."

Several noble ladies spoke one after another.

In recent days, they have begged their father several times to arrange a marriage for King Ye, but they have been rejected one by one. If King Ye wants to marry this woman who was born a slave, they will naturally be dissatisfied.

"Shut up." The Queen Mother frowned and spoke in a low voice.

"Queen Mother, please calm down." The ladies said with their heads lowered.

The Queen Mother looked at Bai Jinxiu, whose eyes were red from crying, and said, "This is not entirely your fault. I have liked you since you were a child. Even if you were not the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, I would still marry you into Prince Ye's mansion. But I will wrong you and make you a concubine. Are you willing?"

Bai Jinxiu sniffed pitifully and said, "As long as I can marry Prince Ye and continue to be with the Queen Mother, even if it's an unofficial marriage, Jinxiu is willing."

Bai Jinxiu finally let go of her worries. This could be considered as a way of getting away with it in front of the Queen Mother.

Damn it, if she had really killed Sheng Yunqing that day, she would now be the legitimate Miss Sheng, marrying into the Marquis's Mansion as the principal wife in a grand ceremony!

The Queen Mother sighed with regret, then looked at Sheng Yunqing unhappily and said, "Since the imperial edict was a misunderstanding, I will definitely talk to the Emperor and cancel your engagement."

Sheng Yunqing blinked innocently and said, "Empress Dowager, the imperial decree has been issued, there is absolutely no reason to change it."

The Queen Mother pointed at her and said, "You girl, it was clearly planned that you blocked Jinxiu's marriage halfway. What else is there to refute?"

As she was speaking, her heart suddenly ached, and she breathed in pain: "Oh, my heart..."

The ladies felt something was wrong and stood up one after another, looking nervous.

It's over. The Queen Mother was so angry at Sheng Yunqing that she became ill...

Sheng Yunqing walked quickly up to her, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of her heart, closed his eyes and silently recited a few spells.

The Queen Mother wanted to wail a few more times, but gradually she stopped, and her brows, which were originally furrowed in pain, gradually relaxed.

"Quickly call the imperial physician!" the personal maid shouted outside anxiously.

The Queen Mother blinked and raised her hand, saying, "No need."

"Empress Dowager..." The maid who was supporting her looked at her in embarrassment.

The Queen Mother exhaled lightly. Her heart was no longer in pain like before. Her whole body felt as if it was irrigated by a warm spring, which kept flowing in her body. She looked up at Sheng Yunqing and said, "What did you do to me?"

Sheng Yunqing raised her lips and said, "In reply to the Queen Mother, I once learned the mysterious arts from Taoist Yun Sheng on Longyin Mountain. The Queen Mother's heart disease is not a big problem. I have cured it for you."

"Okay?" The empress dowager rolled her eyes doubtfully and felt it carefully. It was indeed very comfortable. Her body was even lighter than before and her breathing was smoother.

She frowned and said awkwardly: "Forget it, since you cured me, I won't blame you for the collision."

Sheng Yunqing smiled lightly and said, "I heard Jinxiu say that the Queen Mother's heart could not withstand the stimulation. I respect her very much. Now that I have cured her heart disease, will you continue to listen to me?"

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly and said, "Go ahead."

"Sheng Yunqing you!" Bai Jinxiu gritted her teeth and glared at her, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frowned and said, "Jinxiu, is there anything that can't be said?"

Bai Jinxiu swallowed her saliva and said, "Empress Dowager, don't listen to Sheng Yunqing's nonsense. She has always been at odds with me. Even if she said something, it was exaggerated..."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay, I will make the judgment myself."

Sheng Yun cleared his throat and pointed at Bai Jinxiu, saying, "This woman is very clear-headed. She doesn't have amnesia at all. In order to prevent me from recognizing my relatives, she framed me several times before I revealed my identity. Queen Mother, is this considered innocent?"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, snorted coldly, and said: "I know Jinxiu, she would not do such a thing."

Sheng Yunqing tilted his head and said, "Dong Ning."

Dong Ning, her personal maid, walked up to her, took out a booklet from her bosom and handed it to the empress dowager.

"Your Highness, this booklet will explain everything."

The Queen Mother took the booklet and flipped through it. As she looked at it carefully, her expression turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye and her face darkened inch by inch.

"There is such a thing..."

Bai Jinxiu said anxiously, "Queen Mother, you can't completely trust Sheng Yunqing."

The Queen Mother suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Bai Jinxiu, her eyes were filled with disappointment and anger, and her voice was colder than ever before: "What do you mean by a broken leg? It was actually broken by the Marquis of Zhenbei himself!"

"Bang!" She picked up the booklet and threw it hard at Bai Jinxiu's face without any mercy.

"Empress Dowager, that booklet..." Bai Jinxiu cried and tried to explain. But when she picked up the booklet and took a look, she was struck by lightning. "My uncle's handwriting..."

The booklet recorded everything Sheng Yunqing knew, including the Mei Ling who was arranged for Ye Jinchen that day.

"How could the booklet written by the Marquis of Zhenbei be fake? At this point, you still want to gossip in front of me?!" The Queen Mother glared at her angrily and said, "You are so bold, how dare you fool me like this!"

After she finished speaking, she pushed Bai Jinxiu hard.

Bai Jinxiu screamed, fell off the wheelchair, rolled down the stairs, and fell in front of everyone.

Wow, the Queen Mother has become much stronger!
Sheng Yunqing sighed silently.

Bai Jinxiu propped herself up and tried to sit up, but she heard laughter and laughter all around her. She touched her face hurriedly, and the veil was gone.
