After lunch, Li Shuangwan opened the box of jewelry. Since Zhang Desheng emphasized these things so much, she wanted to take a good look at them.

After taking a look, Li Shuangwan discovered the clue.

Although she didn't know medicine, after spending a long time with Lolo, she gradually learned how to identify the smell of some medicines. Although they were very faint, she could still smell them.

Li Shuangwan's lips curled up coldly, Ling Heng was very scheming.

He wanted to use this box of things to please her so that she would be deceived by him like before and get on his pirate ship.

He also wanted to destroy her martial arts so that he could control her.

The box of jewellery had been poisoned.

Once worn for a long time, toxins will invade the skin and block the meridians, eventually destroying all martial arts skills.

Those who have no martial arts skills will be paralyzed in bed for life.

At this moment, a loud voice was heard announcing: "The Crown Princess has arrived."

Li Shuangwan had no choice but to ask someone to put the things into the warehouse first and walked out.

As soon as I got outside the door, I saw that Li Shuangmiao's Crown Princess's entourage had arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

She sat in an eight-wheel-drawn sedan chair, with at least twenty or thirty palace servants serving on both sides. The imperial guards led the way in front, and a long line of imperial guards followed behind.

The ceremony was even grander than when the Empress left the palace.

She is not afraid of spreading rumors too much.

"Your servants respectfully welcome the Crown Princess." Several masters of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion bowed and saluted.

However, Li Shuangmiao sat in the sedan chair and did not come out, nor did he even lift the door curtain of the sedan chair.

Not a single word was uttered.

The people who were watching the excitement around had already knelt down.

As they were surprised, they heard a palace servant shouting in a shrill voice: "How dare you! The Crown Princess has arrived, and you dare not kneel to greet her! You are disrespecting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the imperial power!"

Li Shuangwan sneered. Ha, what a great arrogance! Did she really think that Ling Heng doted on her and treated her as his wife?

Li Shuangwan was about to speak when Li Huaiying stopped her, shook his head slightly at her, and then forced her to kneel down.

Xu walked to the side of the sedan chair, smiled and said, "Miao Miao, you are back home? Although you are the Crown Princess now, you are at home, right? There is no reason for your father and mother to kneel down for you. Come down quickly and follow your mother in."

Li Shuangmiao looked coldly at the eldest family kneeling on the ground through the thin door curtain, turning a deaf ear to his mother's words.

Once upon a time, the second branch of their family depended on the first branch for support, and they had no share in any of the good food, clothes, or useful things.

The eldest wife gave them the unwanted things like giving alms to beggars.

They also have to be grateful to the first wife.

It's only been a few years, but I'm still crawling at her feet.

Don't dare to disobey in the slightest!

When the palace maid saw that the Crown Princess did not say anything, she immediately shouted, "How dare you! You, a servant, can't call the Crown Princess by her maiden name at will. Why don't you kneel down to greet her?"

Li Huaiyi stepped forward and kicked Xu in the back of the knee.

There was a dull thud as Xu's knee hit the bluestone slab so hard that she almost fainted from the pain.

Kneeling beside Li Shuangmiao, Yi Qing, who was serving her, felt pain and secretly glanced at Li Shuangmiao.

This stupid thing isn't even afraid of shortening her lifespan. She relies on the few pounds of fat in her belly to do whatever she wants. Does she really think that if she leaves the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will look down upon her?

Only then did Li Shuangmiao get off the sedan chair with the help of the palace servants.

Her head was covered with pearls and jade, dazzling everyone's eyes.

She placed one hand on the wrist of Yi Qing, who was serving beside her, and supported her bulging belly with the other hand. She looked down at the people kneeling on the ground, and her gaze lingered on Li Shuangwan for a moment.

After a moment, he said, "Everyone, get up."

He was the first to enter the palace, surrounded by a group of palace servants.

As Li Yuanming followed his parents, he felt more and more that it would be better for the second branch of the Li family if Li Shuangmiao died than if he were alive.

Otherwise, the second house will fall into her hands sooner or later.

Li Shuangwan walked between her parents and lowered her voice: "In a moment, no matter what Li Shuangmiao says, you all must keep silent and listen to your daughter."

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Arriving at the main hall, Li Shuangmiao sat down at the main seat, stroking her belly and said, "Don't blame me for embarrassing you at the gate just now. After all, I am pregnant with the Crown Prince's eldest son."

"The young master's status is so precious, and the royal family is the most strict with rules."

"If you are not allowed to perform this ceremony today, the common people will follow suit and will not take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Young Master seriously. Wouldn't that disrupt the royal rules?"

Li Shuangmiao glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "Duke, do you think this is true?"

Now he doesn’t even call me uncle anymore.

An attitude of being superior and looking down on everyone.

Li Shuangwan just felt that Li Shuangmiao was both ridiculous and pitiful.

I wonder if she would go crazy if one day she found out that Ling Heng wanted to use the baby in her belly to save the son of his mistress.

Li Huaiying bowed calmly: "The Crown Princess is right."

Xu didn't dare to say anything anymore, she was afraid.

She thought Miaomiao was still her daughter even after she became the Crown Princess. Little did she know that even in front of her daughter, she, her own mother, had to kneel down.

Otherwise, it means you are not taking the royal family seriously.

Li Shuangmiao didn't even look at her mother. She had never forgotten how much her mother disliked her when she got married and how much she didn't allow her to have the Crown Prince's child.

My mother is too partial to Li Shuangzhi, the prince's concubine!

They all crawled out of her belly, so why is she so biased towards them?

Sooner or later, she would find the bitch Li Shuangzhi, drag her in front of the world, and tell the people of Shengjing City that it was this shameless woman who seduced her husband!

Li Shuangmiao's eyes only briefly passed over everyone's faces, and then stopped at Li Shuangwan's face: "I heard that Zhang Desheng sent a box of jewelry to Sister Yan this morning?"

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "Yes, Eunuch Zhang said it was a little toy given by the emperor, and asked the minister to wear it for fun."

Li Shuangmiao sneered: "A reward from the emperor? A little thing? Ha, Li Shuangyan, these good things are not a reward from the emperor."

She fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist that Ling Heng had given her a few days ago. She slightly raised her eyelids and stretched her wrist forward a little as if to show off so that everyone in the hall could see it clearly.

"The emperor was poisoned by the deposed crown prince, don't you know that? And you gave it to you as a reward from the emperor, huh? You are deceiving yourself."

"He is now lying on the dragon bed and can't even get up. How could he have known that you, a princess of Daliang, would become the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in Beijin. These things, haha, are all awarded to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Shuangwan pretended not to know and asked in surprise, "Your Highness? But why did Eunuch Zhang lie to me and say it was a gift from the Emperor?"

Li Shuangmiao looked at Li Shuangwan's face and said coldly: "Li Shuangyan, if you don't understand, why not ask the servants in this mansion? I'm sure they will give you the answer."
