Chapter 267 Commitment
Chapter 267 Commitment
Sui Wan had been locked in her room for a day and a night, and had been shouting all night. The water on the table was smashed by her yesterday. She lay on the bed, licked her dry and flaky lips, and swallowed her saliva. The resentment in her heart became stronger.
The good sisters promised to share weal and woe, and to support each other when they were young. Now Qing Zhang is rich and powerful, but he has forgotten the oath he made. He locked her up just because of a broken jade disk and a broken paperweight.
Sui Wan picked up his porcelain pillow and smashed it against the closed door. With two bangs, the porcelain pillow broke into pieces all over the floor.
A palace servant's timid voice came from outside the door, "Aunt Suiwan, please take a rest. You took the things that His Majesty gave to the beauty without permission. The beauty is really angry. Please behave yourself. When the beauty is no longer angry and is willing to see you, you can apologize to her..."
"Shut up, pour me some water, and bring me some food, I'm starving."
"Aunt, without the beauty's consent, I dare not do that."
Sui Wan clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"Then go and pass on a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness came back yesterday to have dinner with the beauty and didn't see me. Didn't he ask anything?"
"Aunt, the beauty went to the Pepper House yesterday and did not come back for dinner. The eldest prince was also like that. He came back with the beauty and did not eat in the Lanlin Palace. Early this morning, the eldest prince went to the Academy to study and has not returned yet."
"Go and tell the eldest prince that I have done something wrong and angered the beauty, so I have been locked up by her for a day and a night without a drop of water. Please ask him to help me plead with the beauty for mercy."
"Okay, auntie, don't worry, I'll go right away."
The palace maid did not go to find the eldest prince Qin Mingyu, but went directly to Shi Qingzhang to report.
"She didn't tell me why I locked her up?"
"Beauty, Aunt Suiwan only said that she did something wrong and angered you."
Based on her understanding of Sui Wan, if Sui Wan hated her, he would definitely exaggerate the situation and alienate her from the eldest prince.
But Sui Wan did not do so, and it was not in vain that she asked the Queen Mother to grant Sui Wan an honor and let him leave the palace yesterday.
After the mourning period for the Empress Dowager is over next month, a number of palace maids will be released from the palace. She and Sui Wan will probably never see each other again in this life.
"Wait until the eldest prince comes back from school, then go find him and tell her the message."
She would wait until the eldest prince came to her and spoke for Sui Wan, and then she would release the person.
It's only a month left, from now on, let's just leave it as it is.
"Yes, beautiful."
The palace maids waited in front of the Lanlin Palace for a long time, and only when it was getting dark did the eldest prince Qin Mingyu come back.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Qin Mingyu did not go to see Sui Wan but went directly to find Shi Qingzhang. After dinner, he mentioned Sui Wan.
"Mother, I don't know why I angered you, but I heard that she has been locked up for a day and a night. How long do you want to punish her? If you want to punish her, why did you ask for mercy for her yesterday?"
"I stole the jade paperweight made from the jade disk that Your Majesty gave me and gave it to you as a favor.
There is nothing that your mother cannot give you. It's not that I blame her for giving things to you, but she shouldn't take the lead in making decisions for the master. She has too many ideas of her own and always likes to make decisions for others. She won't listen to what I say and is a bad habit that can't be changed. She must be punished.
Yesterday, my mother asked the Empress to help her plan for the future because she couldn't forget the friendship we had in the past. So for her sake and for our sake, she had to leave us."
"Mother is very insightful."
"Come here, the eldest prince cares for the palace maids and loves the servants. I am deeply moved. I will forgive Sui Wan this time. I hope she can be careful with her words and actions in the future and not make mistakes again."
"Thank you, mother, for your advice to me."
"No matter how many children Mother has in the future, Mingyu, you are Mother's first child. Mother's children will only be your helpers, not your stumbling blocks, Mingyu."
