into the night.
Tang Wanru's carriage slowly moved towards the palace.
It was already dark, and the carriage arrived at the palace gate. The driver saw a plain carriage coming out of the palace gate from afar. There were several people in white clothes sitting on it, and a woman in mourning clothes was riding on the side. She had fierce eyebrows and expressionless face. She was the Crown Princess Shen Bishui.
Judging from this scene, it should be Shen Bishui who dragged Concubine Yu's body out of the palace.
Emperor Zhou hated Concubine Yu because she was banished to the cold palace, so after her death, there was no ceremony. After three days in the palace, the emperor had her thrown into a mass grave. But after all, she was the prince's biological mother, so the prince asked Shen Bishui to take her body out of the palace for a ceremony.
Because they couldn't use a coffin in a grand manner, the body was simply wrapped in a straw mat, placed on a carriage, and pulled out by Shen Bishui.
Seeing that it was the Crown Princess, the coachman tried his best to avoid her, but he didn't expect that Shen Bishui's carriage would deliberately block in front of him.
He couldn't avoid it, so he could only stop and turn around to report to Tang Wanru.
Tang Wanru leaned her head out of the carriage and looked at her.
The weather was bad tonight, with a cold wind. Shen Bishui sat in the carriage, staring at her with a cold gaze.
"The Crown Princess is so filial that she actually personally took the Imperial Concubine's corpse out of the palace. If the Imperial Concubine's spirit is in heaven, she must be very pleased." Tang Wanru said with a smile.
Shen Bishui had a cold face.
Of course, she could hear the sarcasm in Tang Wanru's words. Strictly speaking, she was the first to expose the affair between Concubine Yu and Doctor Zhang. Concubine Yu's death was actually related to her. But Shen Bishui had no expression on her face. She knew that all this was planned by Tang Wanru.
She also fell into her trap!
So Shen Bishui came to Tang Wanru's carriage with a cold face, looked at her behind the curtain and said, "Tang Wanru, don't be so arrogant!"
"Then the Seventh Prince's identity can be restored only as the first step. There is still a long way to go. I want to see how far he can go."
"Crown Princess." Tang Wanru smiled, "That's the Seventh Prince's road, not mine. You know his road is long and you want to tell him, so go and tell him yourself. It's useless for you to tell me."
Shen Bishui was so angry that she almost laughed: "Don't be so hypocritical. Aren't you and the Seventh Prince aiming at the same thing?"
Still, it’s really different…
Tang Wanru replied sternly: "We are two different people, how can our goals be the same? If you want to say something harsh, tell me something that suits me. I don't understand anything about the Seventh Prince."
"You——" Shen Bishui was really mad to death.
"Tang Wanru!" Shen Bishui pointed at her and said, "Just wait, our Shen Family Army will not let you go!"
Shen's army?
Although the affairs of the Shen family army were strictly speaking not within her scope, fortunately the information on the note she passed to Bai Yanli today was exactly about the Shen family army.
So she knew a little bit.
"I know the Shen family army. They are the largest army in the southeast and very powerful." Tang Wanru said.
"Of course!" Shen Bishui raised his head, "If you want to touch me or the prince, you must first get through the Shen family army."
Whoever wants to touch her, she can go to that person.
Tang Wanru was really impressed by her.
But now she didn't dwell on this anymore, and was ready to tell her a piece of news: "Crown Princess, I wonder what the relationship between your father and mother is like?"
She suddenly asked this, which made Shen Bishui feel a little strange. Her parents had a good relationship, but she was not sure after being asked this question. She frowned and asked, "What do you mean by asking this question?"
Seeing that she was panicking, Tang Wanru smiled generously: "It's nothing, I just have a piece of gossip, but I don't know whether I should tell it or not."
Shen Bishui: ...
"Forget it." Tang Wanru waved her hand. "The dead are the most important. You should take your mother-in-law out of the palace and bury her first. Otherwise, she will wait anxiously and look for you in the middle of the night."
Shen Bishui: ...Why did this bitch stop talking halfway through? Isn't she trying to make me anxious on purpose?
She said angrily: "Tang Wanru, what exactly is this gossip? Tell me!"
Seeing that she was really anxious, Tang Wanru hooked her finger at her, and Shen Bishui had no choice but to bend down and go to Tang Wanru's window to listen.
Tang Wanru said: "Your father and your mother...divorced!"
"What did you say?!" Shen Bishui got anxious, and the horse under her turned its head again, and she almost fell off the horse.

The carriage continued to move forward for a while. When it reached the inner gate, Tang Wanru got off the carriage. As soon as she got off, she saw Consort Chen standing there waiting for her.
The weather is bad today, with a cold wind blowing.
Tang Wanru actually felt a little strange today. Today was not a good day to stroll around the garden, so why did Concubine Chen insist on calling her into the palace?
It's still a late night.
But after getting off the carriage, Tang Wanru still bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."
"Seventh Imperial Concubine, please don't be polite." Concubine Chen pulled her up as usual. After not seeing each other for a few days, she was still very warm to Tang Wanru. She held her hand as they walked, which made Tang Wanru feel very warm.
But the warmth soon disappeared.
Because she found that Concubine Chen did not lead her to the right path, but instead took her to a sparsely populated path.
She went straight to the cold palace and saw a fire burning on the ground not far away, with some cakes and papers beside it.
She was wondering if Concubine Yu had died.
Concubine Chen burned paper for her so that her ghost would disappear soon?
But when he got closer, he saw Concubine Chen squatting down. She suddenly sighed and said to Tang Wanru, "Ruru, come and burn some paper for your mother."
Mother?
Tang Wanru almost fell to the ground.
