Chapter 817 No Progress Whatsoever
After her marriage, Wu Yue'er did not have a good relationship with Prince Kang.
After King Kang married her, the two always lived in separate rooms, and they didn't even eat together. She truly experienced the meaning of being treated coldly.
Her elder brother had already returned with his men, and now only she remained at the Kang Prince's residence with her maids and dowry.
In her view, this was an absolute humiliation!
Before, it was clear that Prince Kang had been following her around, coaxing her at every turn, and his warm manner didn't seem like an act.
I never expected that just because she embarrassed herself, the King of Kang's attitude would change so drastically. This is not genuine at all!
When Song Ruozhen saw that Wu Yue'er was also going to have tea, she thought that this woman was really out of her mind. However... having such a troublemaker around wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"If you don't dare to let me go with you, then you're just being cowardly!"
Wu Yue'er was smug, thinking that she had ended up in this situation entirely because of Song Ruozhen, and she would not let Song Ruozhen get away with it!
Song Ruozhen turned to look at Prince Liang, "It seems we have no choice but to go together."
King Liang was well aware that if he didn't let Wu Yue'er go, this woman would really accuse them of something without any basis.
He gave Wu Yue'er a cold look. She really was an annoying idiot!
As Song Ruozhen and her group arrived at the teahouse, they found it to be extremely quiet, unlike the usual bustling teahouses. Like Song Ruozhen's restaurant, it was very secluded.
Each small courtyard is separated from the others, ensuring sufficient privacy.
Song Ruozhen looked around the teahouse. She had noticed it before, but she didn't know who was behind it.
The case is now solved; it's clearly Liang Wang's doing.
This guy truly lives up to his reputation as the most secretive individual; it seems he owns quite a few properties in this vast imperial city.
Seeing how quiet the place was, Wu Yue'er became even more certain of her judgment. If it was just for drinking tea, why would they come to such a quiet place? There was clearly something wrong.
Thinking of this, she looked at the maid beside her and said, "You should have something I need on you, right?"
"Your Highness, what you want is..."
Wu Yue'er's lips curled into a smug smile. "Song Ruozhen has ruined me so many times. My promising future is now completely destroyed."
I must seize this opportunity! I will make sure Song Ruozhen dies a horrible death!
From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered a great loss, but because of Song Ruozhen, she was repeatedly humiliated, and she couldn't swallow this grievance!
As long as Song Ruozhen is no longer clean, she's completely finished!
Bai Zhi glanced at Wu Yue'er, who was whispering with her maid not far away, and couldn't help but remind her:
"Your Highness, I have a feeling that there's something wrong with Wu Yue'er. I wonder if she's plotting something."
Song Ruozhen glanced in that direction. Fortunately, she rarely revealed her strength. Everyone only knew that she was good at medicine and metaphysics, but they didn't know that her skills had improved since her breakthrough. Most importantly... her hearing was also exceptional.
She overheard the conspiracy between the two men perfectly clearly.
"No wonder she's Wu Yue'er; all she thinks about all day is these things."
Song Ruozhen clicked her tongue in amazement. As expected, bad people can only get worse, because the problem lies in the root of the problem!
She turned to look at Liang Wang on the other side. Wu Yue'er was at most a mad dog, while Liang Wang was the real venomous snake.
Today's banquet is more interesting than I imagined. With a troublemaker joining in, things might turn out differently than I expected.
Soon, the tea was served, and Wu Yue'er said she needed to use the restroom and went out for a while.
King Liang merely glanced at Wu Yue'er indifferently, completely disregarding her.
"Princess Consort of Chu, what have you thought about what I said earlier?"
Song Ruozhen looked at Prince Liang and said, "I have heard about Consort Duan's condition, but even the imperial physicians are helpless. Even with my skills, I may not be able to cure her!"
"I believe in your abilities. If you are willing to help, I am sure you can come up with a solution."
The Prince of Liang remained calm. He was convinced that this matter was related to Song Ruozhen. The reason he did not directly ask his father or the Prince of Chu to ask Song Ruozhen to treat him was because he knew that if the Prince of Chu's mansion was unwilling, it would be very easy for them to refuse.
“Speaking of ideas, I also have something I would like to ask His Highness Prince Liang for help with,” Song Ruozhen said.
"Oh?" King Liang feigned surprise. "I never thought there was anything I could do to help Princess Chu. Why don't you tell me?"
"I'm looking for someone."
"A woman."
As Song Ruozhen spoke, she observed the expression on King Liang's face. King Liang, as cunning as an old fox, merely frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.
"When it comes to finding people, the King of Chu should be very good at it, while I am no match for him in this regard."
"When it comes to finding someone, the more people help, the better. I believe that with King Liang's abilities, he will definitely be able to help me find the person."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Both sides knew the truth but didn't say it. This guy definitely knew where the pregnant woman was hiding.
Instead of searching for a needle in a haystack, it's better to exchange terms directly.
After all, exchanging a woman for Consort Duan's life, Prince Liang was certainly not at a loss.
"I can help you find someone, but you also have to go to the palace to treat my mother's illness, how about that?"
Prince Liang took a sip of tea with a nonchalant air, his gaze falling on Song Ruozhen, seemingly both scrutinizing and probing her. He was curious about the methods this woman used to poison his mother!
If it weren't for the coincidence that things happened right after General Bai's accident, he wouldn't have even suspected the Chu Prince's Mansion.
Even though he suspected Song Ruozhen, he still couldn't find any evidence against her. His methods were quite clever!
"That's natural."
Song Ruozhen nodded, and she quietly observed the Prince Liang in front of her, realizing that the poison she had given to Qi Qingyi had been transferred to the Prince Liang.
This guy probably hasn't discovered it yet, otherwise he wouldn't be worried about Consort Duan, but about himself.
When Wu Yue'er returned, she overheard Song Ruozhen and Liang Wang's conversation, which made her even more puzzled. What were the two of them talking about?
I finally had a chance to be alone, and these two guys are talking about useless things.
It turns out that the Prince of Liang was asking Song Ruozhen for help in treating Consort Duan.
Why is Song Ruozhen looking for someone again?
This was completely different from what she had expected, but... she still felt something was amiss. If there really was no problem, why not say it directly to the King of Chu instead of having to say it in private?
"Didn't you come here for tea? If you're looking for someone, how about I ask Prince Kang to help you look for them?"
Wu Yue'er took a sip of tea and asked a question.
Song Ruozhen walked back to sit down and happened to notice the disgust in Liang Wang's eyes. Wu Yue'er's appearance had really ruined his plans, and he must be extremely unhappy.
