Chapter 379 The Emperor Begins to Suspect Her
"Youyou has grown up."
Song Siyao patted Shen You's head, feeling heartbroken. "Seventh Sister-in-law isn't afraid of others using you to harm me; I'm only worried about your safety."
Shen You knelt down with a thud, "Thank you, Seventh Sister-in-law. Please protect me and keep me safe in the palace. I will definitely repay this great kindness in the future."
Song Siyao quickly helped Shen You up. "Okay, I will send guards to protect you in secret. I will also thoroughly investigate your mother's matter. Don't interfere. Just continue to study hard, eat well, sleep well, and grow up healthy."
"Shen You obeys." Shen You bowed to Song Siyao.
Song Siyao gave Shen You some more instructions, then removed the barrier and led Shen You out of Cuiwei Palace.
“Eunuch Wang, let’s go see my father, the Emperor,” Song Siyao said.
"Yes, Princess."
The palace servants behind her whispered among themselves as they watched Song Siyao's attitude toward Shen You.
"With the Crown Princess around, the young prince will have a place in the palace."
"So, those who are opportunistic and bully the weak should open their eyes wide. If they dare to disrespect the young prince again, he will tell the Crown Princess, and they will be in for a world of hurt!"
"Only the Crown Princess doesn't look down on him. Given his current situation, who would dare to get close to him!"
"The Crown Princess alone is enough. Who would dare to oppose her? How many heads would they have?"
After these words were spoken, no further sound was heard.
Song Siyao heard their conversation clearly, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
That's exactly what she wanted.
She was showing those with ulterior motives through her actions that targeting Shen You was tantamount to going against her.
Royal study room.
“Father, my eleventh brother was frightened after falling into the water, and also had a high fever, so he was not in a good state for a while. After I administered acupuncture, he has improved,” Song Siyao reported.
"Father, I shouldn't have secretly gone to see Mother. Please punish me." Shen You knelt on the ground, looking tiny and pitiful.
Although Emperor Changlong had confined Shen You to his quarters, he still summoned Song Siyao to treat Shen You when he saw that Shen You was ill.
Seeing Shen You, his youngest child and his son born in his old age, softened his heart even more.
However, there are some things that need to be said.
"I ordered you to stay in the palace and reflect on your actions, but you sneaked out. Shen You, this is disobeying the imperial decree!"
"Your subject knows his mistake, please punish me, Father." Shen You's eyes were red, he was clearly very sad, but his face was stubborn.
"Fine, considering your youth and ignorance, I will spare you this time," said Emperor Changlong.
"Thank you, Father Emperor." Shen You expressed her gratitude.
"Go down and reflect on your actions in the palace. If I find out that you have run away again, I will not let you off lightly!" Emperor Changlong said in a cold tone.
"Yes, Father." Shen You bowed to Song Siyao again. "Seventh Sister-in-law, I'm leaving."
Song Si nodded.
When only Song Siyao and Emperor Changlong were in the imperial study, Emperor Changlong slowly spoke.
"Yaoyao, aren't you going to tell me the truth?"
Emperor Changlong had a gentle and mild appearance.
“Father, Eleventh Brother is not ill. He had no choice but to do this to protect himself. Please do not blame Eleventh Brother. This matter is my responsibility.”
When Song Siyao told Emperor Changlong that Shen You was overly frightened, she could tell that Emperor Changlong did not believe her.
But Emperor Changlong did not expose him at the time, which proves that he was not angry.
"Shen You doesn't even trust his father, the Emperor, anymore; he trusts you, his seventh sister-in-law, even more." Emperor Changlong's tone was somewhat sorrowful.
“Father, my eleventh brother is still young and doesn’t understand your good intentions. He will understand when he grows up.” Song Siyao could see through Emperor Changlong’s intentions.
"Yaoyao, you're going to have to work hard again. Investigate the matter of Consort Jia pushing Consort Yue. I need to know the truth." Emperor Changlong's tone was heavy and cold.
He addressed Lady Min as Consort Jia.
Song Siyao looked at Emperor Changlong, somewhat puzzled.
"Yaoyao, what? In your eyes, am I such a tyrannical ruler?" Emperor Changlong asked.
"Your subject dares not," Song Siyao said. "Your subject has heard that this matter was witnessed by Your Majesty with your own eyes."
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Emperor Changlong looked puzzled. "Consort Jia is not the type to be jealous. She has the entire harem under her control, and she has her own children. Besides, the Crown Prince has already been established. What point would it make for her to target Consort Yue?"
"Please rest assured, Father, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give Consort Jia justice." Song Siyao's heart sank to the ground. The emperor she was loyal to had always been clear-headed.
