Chapter 781 Yue'er, of course brother wants to help you!
Shu Yuanqi glanced at Suo Qing, his face already becoming somewhat displeased.
"Since I can come in, it means that the prince has given his approval. Yue'er, you are already half the master of this Nanyu Palace, but why are the maids around you so stupid?"
Nanny Zhang had been beaten so hard that she was breathing in less than out. She raised her eyes and looked at the person who came, her eyes full of a plea for help.
Shu Yuanqi walked past her as if he didn't see her.
Shu Yue let out a long breath, threw the whip in her hand aside, and fell directly over Aunt Zhang.
She looked a little surprised, but not too shocked. After all, Shu Yuanbao had already told her about Shu Yuanqi's surrender to Prince Nanyu the last time he came.
What surprised her was that she actually saw Shu Yuanqi in the backyard of the palace!
Could it be that Prince Nanyu really took him in?
"Second brother, it seems that even without Daddy, your future can still be bright!"
Shu Yue spoke and revealed the relationship between the two.
Seeing this, Suo Qing immediately retreated behind Shu Yue.
Shu Yuanqi smiled, then walked to the pavilion without any courtesy, poured himself a cup of tea and started to drink it.
"Is this tea provided by Prince Nanyu's Mansion to my sister?" Shu Yuanqi's face showed a hint of disdain. This was too cheap. "It seems my sister's status is even lower than that of my second brother, an insignificant retainer!"
Shu Yue's expression changed slightly, and she said stiffly, "Yue'er just happens to like this tea. Second brother should also know that not everything is good just because it's expensive."
After all, she was born into a military family. How could she not tell the quality of tea? However, she knew very well that Prince Nanyu was dissatisfied with her and hated her. To her, having someone send her tea was already a great honor.
She pretended not to understand and only enjoyed everything in name. At least, she could take revenge on those who had bullied her, right?
Shu Yue looked at him, not knowing why he was here at this time. She also had no idea which camp he was in.
"Second brother, can Yue'er ask, are you Shu He's man or Prince Nanyu's man now?"
That day at Shu He and Baili Moqing's wedding, when Shu Yuanbao died, she saw him there, his face full of murderous intent.
She even suspected that he was the one who killed Shu Yuanbao!
But why did he kill Yuanbao? Didn't he love Yuanbao too? Didn't he hate Shuhe too?
Could it be that the murderous look on his face was directed at Shu He?
"Sister Yue'er, if you want to talk about some private matters, shouldn't you clear out those irrelevant people?"
Shu Yue glanced at Nanny Zhang lying on the ground and the two maids she had called to carry out the execution. Her eyes flashed slightly, and then she gave Suo Qing a look.
Shu Yuanqi continued speaking only after everyone in the yard had emptied out.
"Sister, it's not my fault that it wasn't my second brother who criticized you. You said that you've just gotten through life, and you've already started to attack the people in Prince Nanyu's Mansion. Aren't you afraid that they will retaliate against you in the future?"
Shu Yuanqi had a faint smile on his face. In front of Shu Yue, he seemed like a different person, a shrewd, deep, and calculating person.
Shu Yue scoffed at his words, her eyes filled with both sarcasm and arrogance. "Second brother, you may not understand what kind of existence this child in my belly is."
"Before Shu He's wedding, perhaps this child was insignificant. But now that he has passed the Imperial Court, he is the Emperor's chosen eldest son of Prince Nanyu. This means that the Emperor wants to protect this child!"
"With the Emperor's protection, this child is destined to be born safely, and as his biological mother, I will naturally be honored by my son! Not to mention the title of Princess, I am still qualified to be a concubine!"
"Hahaha!" Shu Yuanqi couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He really found it funny!
Shu Yue's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger rose in her heart, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"
Shu Yuanqi looked at her. On that face that was somewhat pretty, there was nothing left except stupidity.
He sighed softly and asked, "It wasn't your idea to tell the Emperor that you were pregnant, was it?"
"How do you know?" Shu Yue's face suddenly showed shock. She didn't expect that he would guess this.
She mentioned her pregnancy to Shu Yuanbao accidentally, and it was Shu Yuanbao who told her to tell the emperor the news the next day; even the person who tipped off the emperor was someone else's arrangement, according to Shu Yuanbao.
Yuanbao said that the news of her being here was also told to him by that person, and that person seemed to be willing to help them.
However, who that person was became a complete secret with Shu Yuanbao's death.
"Don't worry about how I know this. I just want to tell you that person is not helping you, but accelerating your death!"
Shu Yue sat opposite him, feeling a little cold in her heart. In her pair of seemingly shrewd eyes, besides suspicion, there was also inquiry into Shu Yuanqi.
"Second brother, are you kidding me? So far, I don't think there's anything wrong with this suggestion. Moreover, this is the most important decision that has helped me turn things around! Although I don't know who that person is, I'm very grateful to him!"
Shu Yuanqi shook his head helplessly, "So, you will become someone else's pawn, and even if you are sold out, you still have to be grateful to them."
The sarcasm on Shu Yuanqi's face made Shu Yue feel as if her eyes were being pricked by needles.
"Did you know that in ten days, the wedding ceremony will be held between Prince Nanyu and Zheng Yu, the daughter of the Duke of Dongbo? This Nanyu Palace will soon welcome its true mistress!"
Shu Yue's pupils couldn't help but dilate, the shock and suspicion in her eyes almost overflowing. "You, what did you say?!"
"Yue'er, Zheng Yu is the daughter of the Duke of Dongbo. She thinks highly of herself. She would never tolerate any other woman's child being born before her own!"
"When she enters the palace, you and this child will be dead soon."
"This is impossible!" Shu Yue shouted, and excitedly knocked over the tea in front of her.
The tea spilled along the edge of the table onto her narcissus dress, but she didn't notice it at all.
A sentence kept echoing in her mind, "This palace is about to welcome its true mistress!"
"The imperial decree granting the marriage arrived at Prince Nanyu's mansion two days ago. How is it that my sister, as the 'concubine' in this mansion, didn't even receive this news?"
Shu Yue stared at Shu Yuanqi coldly, anger rising in her heart, "Second brother, you, what do you mean?"
Shu Yuanqi stood up with a smile on his face, "Yue'er, of course brother wants to help you!"
