When the emperor saw that her condition had stabilized, he came to the Taihe Palace.

When the Queen Mother saw him coming, she put down the hot water bottle in her hand.

Her face didn't look very good, and it seemed she was still angry about what happened yesterday.

"Now you can tell me what happened when you left the palace this time. Who is that woman in your palace?"

"Mother, this is what happened."

He briefly recounted what happened that day and also told the Queen Mother that Jiang Rongxi was seriously injured because he blocked the arrow for him.

It also emphasized that Jiang Rongxi did not know his identity as emperor at that time, and only found out after he arrived at the palace, and he also made a lot of self-proof.

"Are you telling the truth?"

During this period, the empress dowager also sent people to investigate the emperor's whereabouts. She only knew that he often interacted with a woman, and did not know that this person was Jiang Rongxi.

"So what are your plans? Take her as your concubine?"

The emperor did have this idea in his mind, but he knew that Jiang Rongxi did not have it, and even regarded himself as her elder at one point.

"Mother, I do have this idea, but I don't think she would like to stay in this palace."

"Why? Is there any woman in the world who doesn't want to enter the palace?"

"She's different from everyone else, and I want to respect her opinion."

The Queen Mother had never seen her son be so humble to any woman. It seemed that he was really moved.

"Emperor, if you like her, you can just take her into the palace. After all, the selection is going to be held during this period. Then, you won't have to choose some women you don't like."

"Mother, I have my own thoughts on this matter. She saved my life. If she doesn't want to stay in this palace, I won't repay her kindness with hatred and force her to stay."

"Well, you decide for yourself."

.

Shangshu Mansion!

This was the fifth time Jiang Rongyuan came to see her. In the past, Jiang Rongxi would always be there every time she came. Even if she was not there at the time, she would come to her yard to look for her later.

But every time I came here, I couldn't see her.

She asked other servants in the mansion, but they all said they had never seen her. After much hesitation, she reported the matter to her stepmother.

Jiang Rongxi's existence has always been a thorn in the heart of the Shangshu's wife. In the past, she always stayed miserably in the backyard and would not deliberately take the initiative to cause trouble, but today Jiang Rongyuan said that someone was missing.

So she called the servants together and searched the front and back yards thoroughly. She also smashed all the things in Jiang Rongxi's room to pieces after finding some clues.

When Jiang Heng came back from his official duties, he saw the servants in the mansion in a mess.

After asking, he found out that Jiang Rongxi was missing. He was not worried or anxious.

As for Jiang Rongxi, he only remembered that he had such a daughter after people talked about it today.

It has been several years since I last saw her. When I think of her, I think of her aunt, the woman who betrayed me.

Thinking about how much he doted on his aunt in the past, and how he gave her almost all his love, but she actually betrayed him, he could not forgive her.

When the Shangshu's wife heard that the master had returned, she hurried over to report.

"Master, Rong Xi has not been found yet. Do you think something happened to this child?"

"Why do you care so much about her?"

"Master, the selection is coming up soon. I'm afraid she might do something shameful and bring shame to the Shangshu Mansion. Then all the children in the mansion will be laughed at, and her marriage will be very difficult."

Jiang Heng still cares a lot about his children. Not to mention his illegitimate sons and daughters, even his legitimate son has a bright future now.

He suddenly became nervous and shouted loudly to the housekeeper outside, "Someone come here."

When the housekeeper heard this, he hurried in. The master rarely lost his temper like this, and today he was probably like this because of the unfavored Fourth Young Lady.

"Why don't you hurry up and send people to find that rebellious girl?"

"yes!"

Rong Xi was told about the city system in Shangshu Mansion. She was very curious about how her so-called father would punish her if she went back at this time.

.

Rong Xi stayed in the palace for three or four days, and the concubines in the palace never stopped discussing.

Several concubines even tried to ask Concubine Zhao to visit His Majesty, hoping that they would soon have new sisters.

But how could Concubine Zhao not know their intentions? If she went over there at this time, it would only cause trouble for the Emperor. She didn't want to seek trouble.

But as for the woman in His Majesty's bedroom, she probably had already guessed who she was.

So yesterday she had sent a message to her family to check on this woman. If it was really her, she would definitely find an opportunity to get rid of her in advance.

.

Rong Xi's body has almost recovered, especially since she took a fitness pill on the second day, so her wounds have basically healed now.

Everyone in the Imperial Hospital found it strange that a normal person's wound could heal so quickly, but Rong Xi was also full of gratitude, which basically meant that their medical skills were extraordinary, which was why the wound healed so quickly.

Although the imperial physician was puzzled, he did not care about anything else after being praised so highly. He only wondered if his medical skills had really improved.

The next day, the emperor came to Rong Xi after leaving the court and learned that she was leaving. Although he wanted Rong Xi to stay in the palace as a concubine, he had not told her yet.

Seeing that she had packed up the things he had rewarded her with in the past few days, the emperor felt inexplicably lonely.

"Rong Xi, your injury hasn't fully healed yet, you should stay in the hospital for a while."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I...I have lived here long enough. If I don't go back, my father will really abandon me as his daughter."

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to the Shangshu Mansion to report this matter. Your father won't make things difficult for you."

Rong Xi shrugged. The system had already told her that the emperor had indeed sent someone out to deliver the letter, but her stepmother had not told her father about this news. So in her father's mind, she was still the person who ran away with a strange man like her mother.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I am indeed well now."

Seeing that she was really going to leave, the emperor hesitated for a long time before asking her.

"Rong Xi, do you want to stay in the palace?"

Rong Xi tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"What does it mean to stay in the palace?"

"Be my concubine, and I will give you the best treatment."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I only saved Your Majesty once, no, twice. Your Majesty does not need to do this. Just give me more silver."

…

Rong Xi finally left. She would definitely enter this palace, but not now.

When Rong Xi returned to the mansion, she was called by her stepmother. The family rules were already prepared and waiting for her.

"Jiang Rongxi, kneel down."

Rong Xi didn't move. The Shangshu's wife gave her a look, and the maid beside her brought a few people to her side, as if they were going to force her to kneel down.
