In just a moment, Wen Yidi returned to the small room in Qiongxian Building. When Si Xi saw him coming out, her pale face instantly turned red.

"Master, Eunuch Fu is here."

Wen Yidi's heart sank. Eunuch Fu suddenly came to Qiongxian Tower to look for him at such a late hour. There must be nothing good going on. But he didn't think much and walked out.

"Eunuch Fu is here, but Mr. Wen is not able to welcome you from afar. I feel ashamed."

Eunuch Fu didn't even answer the polite words, and just said coldly:

"We came here late at night just to tell you that Princess Shuhui just sent a letter saying that she has returned from Ezhou and will go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother tomorrow. You also know Princess Shuhui's temper, so be prepared for tomorrow. Don’t make any mistakes.”

"Let father-in-law worry about it."

Wen Yidi responded and stretched out his hand. Seeing this, Si Xi behind him immediately handed over a few banknotes. Wen Yidi bowed his head and handed the banknote into Eunuch Fu's hand.

"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal. It's getting late, so our family has to go back as soon as possible."

Wen Yidi still kept his head bowed and bent over. It wasn't until Eunuch Fu was far away that he couldn't even see his figure, then he straightened up.

Princess Shuhui is back. This is really not good news.

Princess Shuhui is the eldest daughter of Prince Yi. When the emperor ascended the throne, Prince Yi was only three or five years old, so she survived.

When Prince Yi reached the age of fourteen, he went to live in Ezhou. Two years later, Princess Yi gave birth to a daughter. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this and was granted the title of Princess Shuhui.

Two years later, Prince Yi and Princess Yi unfortunately contracted the plague in Ezhou and died soon after, leaving only Princess Shuhui with a young daughter.

Queen Mother Shen took pity on the child who lost his parents at such a young age, so she took Princess Shuhui into the palace to raise her. But because of the Queen Mother's love and affection, Princess Shuhui was pampered to the point of being lawless.

Everyone in the palace, from the maids and eunuchs to the princesses and princes, were all bullied by her over the years. Until her ridiculous behavior reached the ears of the emperor.

At the emperor's order, Princess Shuhui, who was only twelve years old, was sent back to Ezhou. Now, she stayed in Ezhou for three years before returning to Yong'an City because she missed the Queen Mother.

Three years ago, Wen Yidi had just taken over the position of Huangshang and realized the power of Princess Shuhui. To this day, Wen Yidi still feels frightened when he thinks of the scene at that time.

Fortunately, Princess Shuhui went to Ezhou not long after. Otherwise, Wen Yidi might die in her hands.

"Sixi, I have to go to the palace tomorrow. If I still haven't come back by night, you can go to Guan Mansion and send a message."

Wen Yidi hurried back to the house and wrote three letters. One is for Xu Shihuan, one is for the third prince, and one... He has been unable to write. Thinking of what Li Yunfeng wanted to do to him that night, Wen Yidi still has lingering fears.

After struggling for a long time, he finally tore the third letter into pieces.

Early the next morning, it snowed heavily in Yong'an City. Wen Yidi put on thick clothes and shoes, and tied knee pads on her knees, and then rushed towards the palace with carts of treasures and delicacies.

"Slave dog! Are you all blind? There is snow on the ground, how can I walk?"

I saw a woman with slender eyes, slightly high cheekbones, wearing a bright red cloak with a white fur collar, standing on the road leading to Shoukang Palace, scolding loudly, and kicking a palace maid hard with her feet.

The palace maid huddled up and kept begging for mercy, but the woman in gorgeous clothes still didn't want to let her go, kicking her harder and harder one after another.

And all this was just because there was a thin layer of snow on the road in front of her. The palace maid had obviously just cleaned it, but the snow kept falling and it was impossible to completely clean it.

Gradually, the maid's pleas for mercy became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.

"Unlucky bitch!"

She gave one last hard kick before she stopped her anger and walked towards Shoukang Palace with a displeased look on her face.

When she entered Shoukang Palace, the palace maid next to her quickly ran over to check on the maid. The palace man called a few times, but found that the palace maid just stared and didn't react at all.

The palace man then stretched out his hand tremblingly and moved it towards the palace maid's nose. The palace maid had lost her breath and refused to close her eyes.

In Shoukang Palace, a sweet voice came:

"Grandma Huang, Xian'er really misses you so much."

I saw Princess Shuhui looking very well-behaved, completely different from just now. Queen Mother Shen didn't know what had just happened outside, and thought Li Xianer had become sensible after staying in Ezhou for the past three years.

"Hurry up and show the royal grandmother, she has really grown into a big girl."

Li Xianer turned around in a circle and asked the Queen Mother to look at her carefully, and then she said:

"Grandma Huang, you don't know that I am alone in Ezhou without any relatives, which is really pitiful. Can you tell Uncle Huang not to let Xian'er go back this time?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she choked up and her eyes were red and seemed about to cry.

But Queen Mother Shen did not answer her words, but changed the topic:

"Xian'er is exhausted from the journey. Let's go and rest first. The royal merchant will come over soon and will prepare a lot of good things for you."

After that, the Queen Mother called two maids over and sent Li Xian'er to the side hall to rest. Eunuch Fu watched Princess Shuhui enter the side hall, then hurriedly walked to the Queen Mother and whispered:

"The Queen Mother, just now outside the palace, Princess Shuhui kicked a maid to death."

The Queen Mother frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Why would she do this?"

Eunuch Fu looked serious and explained softly:

"It is said that it is because there is snow on the ground. It has been snowing non-stop today. The maid just swept it, and a thin layer of snow fell on the ground again."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face became ugly. Just now she thought that Li Xianer had grown up in the past three years and was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Now it seems that all this is just a pretense to stay in Yong'an City.

"Tell the people below to be more vigilant when serving her these days. If she goes too far, then come to me quickly to send a message."

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Eunuch Fu finally felt a little more at ease.

The servants in Shoukang Palace looked at Wen Yidi who came in a hurry, with disdain and sympathy in their eyes. This imperial businessman fell into the hands of Princess Shuhui. Even if he survived, he would lose half his life.

"Princess Shuhui, the imperial merchant Wen Yidi has arrived."

The side hall was already in a mess. Several maids knelt on the ground and shivered, and the eunuch who came to deliver the message also lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

"Oh? I haven't seen you for three years. I wonder if Mr. Wen is still as fake and noble as before?"

Li Xian'er said with a malicious smile on her lips. She stretched out her hand, looked at her long armor, and then said slowly:

"Take care of this before letting him in. I want to see what good things Wen Yidi has prepared for me?"
