The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 866: Chapter 864: Granting Marriage to Qin Muyan

She thought Mu Fei would demand money and valuables just like her parents did.

But Mu Fei let out a series of chilling laughter, “Ha ha, ha ha ha ha…”

“What are you laughing at!”

The laughter made Shen Yu’s skin crawl without reason.

“The reward I want, you better pay close attention, I want you to secure your place as princess, not giving Su Yingxue the slightest opportunity, otherwise, your end will be the deception of the imperial family, and you’ll be torn apart by five horses!”

Mu Fei leaned in close to Shen Yu, his cold voice echoing in her ears, making her envision a horrifying scene: a dark path completely lined with menacing skeletons!

She grasped her chest in fright, but once Mu Fei left her, she finally saw clearly that this was just the splendid side hall of Funing Palace; there were no such ominous skeletons.

It was just her mind playing tricks on her.

Mu Fei reminded her, “Play the role of the princess well in the palace, win over the Empress Dowager, and don’t let Su Yingxue get close to her; when the time is right, make them enemies of Su Yingxue.”

He was so terrifying that Shen Yu couldn’t help but purse her lips in agreement, “I understand.”

“As for your parents, I advise you to deal with them sooner rather than later, else they will surely become a stumbling block for you.”

Mu Fei’s voice reverberated in her mind.

Shen Yu’s heart trembled fiercely—those were her biological parents after all!

Was she really expected to kill them?

But then she thought, how useless they were, nearly exposing her; if they were to live and stay in the palace, they would inevitably mess things up again; without her identity as the princess, she wouldn’t just be unable to go back to selling fish, but her very life would be in jeopardy!

“No! I will not let anyone take what’s mine! All of this… it’s all mine!”

Shen Yu gazed greedily at the wealth of the palace, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

Once Shen Yu’s identity was confirmed, the Empress Dowager showered her with even more affection, sending treasures and silver jewelry flowing towards her like water, letting her ask for anything she wished, as if she wanted to pluck the moon from the sky for her.

But Shen Yu always appeared sickly and aloof, showing little happiness.

The Empress Dowager thought, “Is Zhao’er still worried about your origins? As for the Ninth Princess Consort, I think she is a reasonable person and has not entered the palace again. The matter of the identity must be a misunderstanding.”

The Empress Dowager felt regret over Su Yingxue, but the matter of blood relationships couldn’t be changed, so regret was all it could be.

Hearing her say this, Shen Yu meekly responded on the surface, “Yes, the Ninth Princess Consort will definitely not compete with me for the title of the princess. What Zhao’er cares about even more is the blood relationship with the imperial grandmother, after all, imperial grandmother has been without a mother for so many years, and I haven’t been able to see my mother either.”

As she spoke, she covered her face and cried, drawing out all the pain in the Empress Dowager’s heart.

The Empress Dowager’s heart ached and she shed tears, treating her even more tenderly.

She wanted to give Shen Yu everything she had.

She thought about her old age and the possibility that her eyes might close before long, and that Zhao Hua, not yet married, would have no one to look after her.

So she summoned Qin Ge and Qin Muyan to her side and brought up the subject of an arranged marriage again.

Qin Ge had no objections, as marrying another granddaughter cherished by the Empress Dowager to Qin Muyan would further secure his position in both the imperial family and in the court.

As for Qin Muyan, he was expressionless and simply said, “I shall comply with the Empress Dowager’s wishes.”

His willingness to marry Shen Yu brought great comfort to the Empress Dowager. Qin Rulie drafted a decree, and on the same day, it was proclaimed to the world.
