Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

More than ten days passed, and Shen Ping lived in the prince's mansion during this period. She was not in the least anxious about why the emperor did not take the next step.

After handing the jade pendant to He Li, she knew that the emperor would not sit idly by.

Since the Emperor asked He Li to pick him and his party up, he would definitely come and ask me why I can remain calm now. It must be because of his arrangements.

Since she is here, she might as well make the best of it. Now that Shen Ping's true abilities have been fully revealed, she is no longer in a hurry and can just stay peacefully in the prince's mansion, eating and drinking as she pleases.

He Li also couldn't understand why the emperor could remain calm even though he knew that his mother had the jade pendant.

Didn't he always want to find his daughter? Why didn't he rush to ask now that he knew there was a clue?

At that time, the emperor only ordered him to take them to the palace, and did not give any further instructions, so he could not guess what the emperor was thinking. Seeing that his mother was not in a hurry, he was also a little puzzled.

Seeing that Shen Ping was not in a hurry and there was no movement from the emperor, Liang Fu and his wife became impatient.

They thought that Madam Shen would not want to stay here and would not want to leave. They were anxious that the young lady and the emperor could recognize each other as relatives as soon as possible.

It would be better to talk this matter out as soon as possible and clear their family members' names. Their family members are still in prison, so how can they just sit there and wait?

The two discussed it and decided it would be safer to ask.

Early that morning, after breakfast, the two men found Shen Ping and told her their thoughts.

Not to mention them, even Shen Ping herself had guessed countless possibilities these days.

I thought the emperor would be anxious to see me, but after these few days, there was no movement from the emperor.

"Don't worry. We can't guess what the emperor is thinking. All we have to do now is to wait. Think about it, you have already waited for ten years. You don't have to mind these few days." Shen Ping comforted them.

Seeing the couple's anxious faces, Shen Ping knew what they were thinking.

But if you think about it, it's understandable. I am free outside, but my family has been in prison for ten years.

Seeing my relatives right in front of me but not being able to visit them and watching them suffer, of course I feel extremely anxious.

"But why isn't the emperor in a hurry to come and find the princess?" Ling looked puzzled.

Shen Ping was speechless. Yes, why could the emperor be so calm? He knew that he had the jade pendant in his hand, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

"Maybe he didn't want to look for me anyway." Xu Feng's face was gloomy and he was a little depressed.

The old beggar told him the mystery of his life experience, and he had always kept the piece of cloth in his arms. Even now, the words on the cloth can still be vaguely seen, and he has kept it.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had been begging for a living with the old beggar. Although she had trouble getting food, she lived a carefree life.

I will never complain about the world, nor will I lament the unfairness of fate.

But ever since the old beggar died and told her his life story, she began to fantasize about recognizing the emperor as her father one day.

She did not expect to come back and enjoy a life of wealth and luxury, but she thought about the fact that she had grown up without parents and had no idea what they looked like.

Apart from wanting to know what kind of people they are and whether they feel sad about their loss, I don't seem to have any other thoughts. That's all.

"You are wrong!" The Tenth Prince said, "I once heard that your father used a lot of manpower and resources to find you. But to no avail, you just disappeared out of thin air.

The Seventh Brother thought that the matter was related to his wife, and he had a big quarrel with the Seventh Lady over it, causing unrest in the entire palace. In the end, it was the late Emperor who stepped in, and the Seventh Brother did not make such a fuss.

These were all told to him by Xu Mingchang, and he didn't know the details.

"No! I have to go and ask him in person why he doesn't want me!" Suddenly, Xu Feng stood up.

Since he had gone to great lengths to find me before, why did he turn a blind eye to me now that I was right in front of him?

"Feng'er, sit down quickly! Listen to Madam Shen, we can't rush this matter." Seeing that Xu Feng was anxious, Shen Ping hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

The emperor is not an ordinary person. How can they guess what he is thinking? If Xu Feng makes such a fuss, it will ruin his image in his mind. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Shen Ping talked about the strengths of each, and said that the best thing is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations. In the end, she got everyone's approval.

At this moment, the old butler hurried in, looked at the Tenth Prince and bowed, "Prince, there is someone outside the door asking to see you, saying that he is from the palace~"

Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat and she looked at He Li, wondering if the emperor had sent someone over.

"Mom, I'm going to go out and take a look!"

After saying this, He Li walked out quickly.

What He Li didn't expect was that the visitor was actually the emperor. In order not to attract everyone's attention, the emperor was dressed in casual clothes.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that, except for Su Desheng, the other sedan bearers accompanying him were not ordinary bearers, but were all disguised masters of the Imperial Palace.

Besides, there was also the head maid Tong Gugu beside him. He Li was shocked and saluted with his fists, saying, "Emperor~"

"Hmm~"

The emperor's face darkened and he raised his hand to stop He Li from speaking.

He Li reacted immediately and quickly changed his words: "My royal brother is here, please come in quickly."

The emperor's expression eased slightly, he nodded, and walked in.

Looking at the emperor's back, He Li hurriedly whispered a few words to the butler Fu Shou beside him, and then caught up with the emperor.

He had to quickly send the housekeeper to tell his mother that the emperor was coming and to let her get away first.

After hearing this, the butler nodded repeatedly and walked quickly to the side hall.

When Shen Ping was wondering, she saw the old housekeeper Fushou walked in quickly and whispered to Shen Ping: "Madam Shen, the emperor is here~"

Shen Ping had already guessed this, and now that her idea was confirmed, she quickly signaled Xu Feng and the others to go back to their rooms first, and she stood up as well.

She is not in a hurry to meet the emperor at the moment. When the emperor wants to see her, she will come out naturally.

This time, the emperor came to see him, so he didn't need He Li to lead the way. He walked towards the main hall with ease and familiarity. He Li followed closely. When the emperor saw him catching up, he slowed down his pace.

"Tenth brother, where is Shen Ping now?" The emperor asked He Li with his head tilted.

"At home!"

He Li raised the corners of his mouth, thinking that his mother was still calm and knew that the emperor would definitely come.

"Let her come to see me."

After saying this, the emperor quickly walked towards the main hall.

He had wanted to come here these days, but he was busy and couldn't get away. Then there was a war report from the border, saying that the enemy was attacking, so he had to ask General Dingyuan to urgently mobilize troops and provide quick support.

I waited until news came from the border and learned that the war had subsided before I felt relieved.

Before coming here, he went to Beibeiwan to visit Xia Wan. He heard from Nanny Yang that she was unusually quiet these days.

When he saw me coming, he didn't make any noise, but just stayed there quietly with a blank look in his eyes, as if he was in deep thought.

After moving to a new place, it was quiet and clean. Under Su Desheng's instructions, the servants dared not be negligent anymore.

With her diet back to normal, Xia Wan has become visibly rounder these days.

Her facial features were originally pretty, and now they were much prettier than when she was in the cold palace. She had vaguely regained some of her former beauty.
