Chapter 207 Promotion
"It's just a prescription. Why does the Crown Princess have to make such a fuss and hurt the harmony?" Tang Wanru stood there gracefully, staring at Shen Bishui unceremoniously.
Shen Bishui thought, he is indeed a smart man.
As soon as she arrived, she knew what her purpose was.
So she smiled and said, "Second Young Master's wife also knows that I only want a prescription. Since Madam knows everything, then give me the prescription."
Seeing Shen Bishui like this, Tang Wanru smiled faintly. She opened her red lips and uttered three words: "I didn't."
"You!" Shen Bishui's face immediately darkened. Was this woman deliberately playing tricks on her?
"I said last time that if I didn't have it, I meant it. No matter what you do, you still don't have it." Tang Wanru's tone was very cold and firm.
"Tang Wanru! Your elder brother is in my hands. Aren't you afraid that I will really take him to the government and his life will be in danger?" Shen Bishui said in a cold tone.
Tang Wanru looked indifferently at the bound Bai Songrong. He was pinned down there, constantly trying to raise his body, while Ye Qinghe knelt beside him, pulling his arm distressedly.
"Wanru! You don't have to be afraid of her. She is slandering me. I, Bai Songrong, am upright and will never bow my head for something I haven't done!" Bai Songrong said loudly.
Ye Qinghe's face was full of worry. She stared at Tang Wanru, wanting to say something but unable to.
Tang Wanru knew in her heart that Shen Bishui was intent on taking over the Bai family, and it wasn't just for a prescription. Even if she was given the prescription, she would not let Bai Songrong go.
The root of the problem still lies with the prince.
"Crown Princess, you just said that someone died in the Crown Prince's Mansion because of the Bai family's incense. May I ask how many incense sticks the Crown Prince's Mansion bought this time?" Tang Wanru asked, "How many people died again?"
"Three incense burners, three deaths." Shen Bishui replied.
Tang Wanru thought about it and said, "That's indeed possible."
She said seriously, "The Bai family's aromatherapy is made by collecting the fragrance of various flowers. If the user is allergic to the flowers used to make this aromatherapy, it is possible that they will have an allergic reaction and die after smelling it."
Bai Songrong was stunned and looked up in surprise. Why did she put the blame on herself?
Shen Bishui was also surprised. This was interesting.
"For example, if I am allergic to safflower, if the aromatherapy contains the scent of safflower, I will have a severe allergic reaction after smelling it, which can be life-threatening."
"That's it!" Shen Bishui didn't expect her to confess directly. So why was she delaying? She crossed her arms and said, "So our maid died because of an allergic reaction to the Bai family's aromatherapy."
"Bai Songrong's crime is unforgivable! He must be arrested!"
Shen Bishui said: "Someone, take Bai Songrong away!"
Going to be arrested?
Tang Wanru suddenly chuckled when she heard this, and asked, "Wait, why did the Crown Princess take him away?"
Shen Bishui was stunned: "You just admitted that those people died because of the flowers in your Bai family's incense. Why can't I take him away?" Didn't she say this just now?
Tang Wanru was amused. She blinked and said, "Crown Princess, I just said that if the death was due to an allergic reaction to aromatherapy, the Bai family would naturally be responsible. But your arrest warrant clearly states that the three people in the Crown Prince's Mansion died of poisoning!"
Tang Wanru's eyes sank slightly, and the elegance in her eyes just now disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold look: "Excuse me, what does this have to do with our Bai family?!"
"Or did the Crown Princess poison someone herself and want to put the blame on the Bai family? How could the Crown Princess of the Crown Prince's Mansion do such a despicable thing?!" Tang Wanru's eyes widened in anger.
Shen Bishui stood there in a daze. Was this woman actually playing word games with her?
He was actually circling her step by step.
"Tang Wanru you!" Shen Bishui was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
"Crown Princess, someone died in your Crown Prince's Mansion, and you haven't even figured out the cause of death, yet you come to my Bai Mansion to arrest people? Are you bullying us, a family of merchants from the Bai family? Don't you think you have someone to back you up? Is this how the dignified Crown Prince's Mansion bullies ordinary people?!" Tang Wanru was furious.
"I——" Shen Bishui was blocked and couldn't say anything.
Seeing that she had finally subdued Shen Bishui, Ye Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tang Wanru with admiration. She also held Bai Songrong's hand tightly.
Shen Bishui had just been led around in circles by Tang Wanru, and now she finally came to her senses. She angrily said, "Tang Wanru, you are so bold that you actually dare to play word games with me?"
"It's my place." Tang Wanru didn't mind playing with her a little more. "The Crown Princess broke into my Bai family's mansion with a useless letter today. I can report it to the authorities. As it happens, there are still a few officials here today. Please catch her and take her to the government office. I want to sue her for breaking into a private residence without reason!"
The officers and soldiers who were holding Bai Songrong down: …
They were confused. How did the wind suddenly change direction? Several people were stunned by Tang Wanru and looked at Shen Bishui silently...
Shen Bishui became furious when she was looked at!
She never expected that Tang Wanru had such a sharp tongue!
"Why would I break into a private house without a reason?!" She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. "I'm here to arrest Bai Songrong today. No matter how you try to refuse, the three people in my house died because of Bai Songrong! There's no way he can escape! Someone, take him out!"
The soldier stood there without reacting for a moment.
"Drag him out!" Shen Bishui was so angry that she no longer cared about her own image.
The officers and soldiers looked at each other and tried to pull Bai Songrong away again.
"Wait." Unfortunately, before they could pull the person away, Tang Wanru called for a stop. Several officers and soldiers stopped immediately. Tang Wanru stood there coldly. She raised her hand, and when her palm loosened, a jade pendant hung down. On the green jade pendant was a word "Chen".
It was the token given to her by Concubine Chen.
"Seeing the jade token is like seeing Concubine Chen herself. Even if Bai Songrong has committed a crime, he must be tried in front of Concubine Chen. No one has the right to touch him today." Tang Wanru said word by word.
"Heh." Shen Bishui thought to herself, how could a little Concubine Chen stump her? She immediately took a few steps forward and took out a jade pendant from her arms. The jade pendant had a rose-red pendant with the word "jade" written on it.
"You have Concubine Chen's token, and I have Concubine Yu's jade pendant. Seeing this jade pendant is like seeing Concubine Yu herself. Today Concubine Yu wants to take Bai Songrong away for justice. Who dares to stop me?" Shen Bishui said with her head held high.
The officers and soldiers stood there and didn't dare to move rashly for a while. Neither Concubine Chen nor Concubine Yu were easy to mess with.
"Tang Wanru." Shen Bishui walked up to her and looked at her with a low sneer, "You can't beat me. If you know what's good for you, give me the prescription. Maybe I can save your brother's life. Otherwise, you can wait for him to be cut into pieces!"
Hearing the words "cut into pieces", Ye Qinghe's shoulders couldn't help but tremble, and she held Bai Songrong's arm tightly.
Tang Wanru, however, remained calm. She said calmly, "How can Concubine Yu compare to Concubine Chen?"
Shen Bishui laughed loudly, she took a step back, and said incredulously: "Are you confused? Concubine Chen has been in the palace for so many years, and she is just a small concubine, while Concubine Yu is a noble concubine, and you say that a noble concubine is not as good as Concubine Chen?"
Facing her questioning, Tang Wanru remained calm. She nodded and smiled softly: "Crown Princess, I was indeed able to win yesterday."
"But today is different."
Shen Bishui's face darkened: "What do you mean?"
"Haven't you heard?" Tang Wanru said slowly, "Concubine Chen slept with His Majesty last night."
Shen Bishui was speechless. Where did she hear this?
"so what?"
"The emperor issued an imperial decree this morning." Tang Wanru stared into Shen Bishui's eyes and spoke word by word, "Promoting Concubine Chen's rank by two levels. This morning, she has become the Imperial Noble Concubine!"
When Shen Bishui heard this, there was a "boom" in her head and she almost fell down.
