Finally, a large number of imperial doctors rushed in and said that the fainting was caused by anger, which was somewhat similar to the symptoms Your Majesty had a few days ago.

The nanny beside the Queen Mother was also anxious, but the Ninth Princess was not someone they wanted to offend, so they could only tell the Fifth Princess and the underground all the conversations verbatim.

After hearing this, the two were angry that Jiang Rongxi had angered the Queen Mother, but what she said was also true.

The Fifth Princess couldn't help herself, "Ninth Sister, I know you are unhappy with this marriage, but Mother loves you."

"Please don't try to change the subject. The Queen Mother doesn't feel sorry for me. She blames me for seducing the Lord Governor."

"Well, even so, you shouldn't have made Mother so angry that she fainted."

When the emperor heard this, his face turned cold. One of these two people was angry with him, and the other was angry with his mother. They were really like family.

"Fifth sister, it's not so unfair to wrongly accuse someone. This nanny has already repeated all the conversations we just had. We were just having a normal conversation. If you say so, then it would be the Queen Mother's fault if I fainted just now. Anyway, my fault was that I didn't faint just now."

"You, that's not what I meant."

The fifth princess felt that she was being tricked.

"Royal brother, just watch her make Mother faint from anger."

The emperor was actually very angry, but Jiang Rongxi was going to marry Chen Ze'an soon. If she whispered a few words into his ear...

"Okay, let's end this matter here. No one is allowed to mention it again."

The fifth princess couldn't believe it, "Royal brother."

The Queen Mother also slowly woke up at this time. The Fifth Princess hurried over. Er Rongxi was in the outer room with the Emperor.

It was a long time before the emperor spoke.

"Imperial sister, come and sit in my imperial study."

The emperor would not say any private words outside. In the palace, no one knows who is whose spy, and he cannot trust everyone.

"yes!"

The tea in the Imperial Study was indeed good tea. Rong Xi felt comfortable drinking it.

"Imperial sister, I know you have been wronged in this marriage, and I am sorry for you."

The reason why the emperor could sit on this position was that he could endure what ordinary people could not endure, and he was also good at disguise.

"What does your majesty want to say?"

"I know you've suffered a lot in the cold palace over the years, but you've grown up healthily to this age. The palace is always your home, and I, your brothers and sisters, are still your closest relatives."

He played the emotional card, but seeing that there was no trace of strangeness on her face, he thought of Shen Ze'an.

"It's not easy for me to reach my current position. It's only been two years since my father passed away, and more than half of the power in the court is in Shen Ze'an's hands. Moreover, he has the special permission of my father to execute first and report later, and the imperial power has granted him special permission. Therefore, I have been restricted in every way in the past two years."

"It's really not easy for my brother."

"Yes, I hope you will remember this little bit of family affection and the bond I have shared with you by bringing you out of the cold palace, and help me."

Rong Xi narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that he wanted him to monitor or kill Shen Zean?

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"Chen Ze'an is so powerful that he's almost surpassing the imperial power. He's just a eunuch, yet he has so much power. Imperial sister, where is the dignity of the royal family?"

"I promise you, as long as you help me monitor Shen Ze'an's every move, once I capture him, I will grant you the best family and give your future children promotions and honors."

The reason why he said this was because he knew from the nanny's retelling of the conversation between Jiang Rongxi and the Queen Mother that she was dissatisfied with the marriage, and he believed that Jiang Rongxi was also afraid of and hated Shen Ze'an.

Rong Xi hesitated for just a moment before agreeing.

"Your Majesty, I want to double my dowry as a reward for doing this."

The emperor was heartbroken. At first, Shen Ze'an wanted to take a portion that was given according to the specifications of the eldest princess. Yesterday he wanted to take another portion, and today Jiang Rongxi wanted the same portion. Her dowry was enough for a noble family to marry more than a dozen wives.

But if she didn't agree, then forget it. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

Rong Xi returned to her palace with satisfaction. The Queen Mother's side was still in chaos, and she didn't want to get involved.

It was just that she had just fallen asleep at night when she was woken up by the system, saying that Shen Zean was in her room.

"Why are you here?"

Without a light, Rong Xi could only see a silhouette.

Shen Ze'an didn't know why he came, but after hearing what she said to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep at all.

He didn't like Jiang Rongxi, absolutely not, but... he heard that he wanted to betray him for that mere dowry.

The thing he couldn't stand most in his life was betrayal. When he first arrived here, he even wanted to kill Jiang Rongxi, but when he walked to her bed and saw her face in the light, he would remember the day when they went shopping together.

The white jade hairpin in his hand was almost broken by him.

Rong Xi wanted to sit up, but the cold wind rushed into the quilt, and she fell back again. The quilt was still warm.

"What on earth are you doing here? If you don't tell me, I'll go to sleep."

Rong Xi turned over and was about to continue sleeping, but Shen Ze'an, who was sitting, was unwilling to do so. Perhaps it would be better if he trapped the person in the Governor's Mansion.

He walked over, wrapped up Rong Xi's quilt and wanted to take it away, but Rong Xi misunderstood, thinking that he was going to push her in and he wanted to come up too.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter if we sisters sleep together. Everything should be arranged for him when he comes out anyway.

So she lifted the covers, as if asking him to come up.

"Hurry up, the heat will soon dissipate."

Shen Zean was stunned for a moment. Was she inviting him to her bed? But how could this be possible? They weren't married yet.

"Can I?"

He actually stuttered a little, he couldn't believe it himself.

"You can either come or leave."

He quickly took off his coat and lay down in it. The familiar scent of Rong Xi penetrated his nose and even everywhere.

If Rong Xi could see him now, he would probably blush.

He was so stiff that he didn't know how to let go. He stood straight, not even noticing the cold with one foot exposed.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." The voice was calm, very good.

Rong Xi felt that something was wrong with him. Could it be that he had been sitting outside for too long and was frozen?

She reached out and touched his arm, which was cold and stiff. "It's as cold as ice. Let me warm you up."

Rong Xi held his hands tightly with both hands. The warmth was like a gurgling stream, spreading from his hands to his whole body, making him intoxicated. He greedily wanted the night to be like an endless river, longer and longer.

Rong Xi's hand was also frozen cold by his hand, and she was about to withdraw it, but she accidentally touched Shen Ze'an's pulse.

"you……"
