This matter must not be known to anyone except Rong'er.

If everyone knew that she was the one behind the scenes, even if Zhu Xianyue could be kicked out, no one would be willing to accept her as a troublemaker.

Only the dead never reveal secrets.

So Zhu Baoning has decided,

After this matter is finished,

I will never leave Rong'er alive!

Even if she is her biological sister!

…

night.

Jinxiu Hall.

"This poison can be cured, but you will have to suffer a lot. It's difficult for you."

Zhu Xianyue felt sorry for Rong'er.

But Rong Er said, "Madam, if you don't venture into the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger cub?"

"If it weren't for Madam, Rong'er would have starved to death long ago. Rong'er's worthless life belongs to the rich, and I'm willing to be poisoned to death for Madam!"

Zhu Baoning probably never imagined that all this was a play arranged by Zhu Xianyue and Rong'er.

A play of "luring someone into a trap".

Zhu Xianyue is worried about Rong'er.

This poison was brought out by Zhu Baoning from the Zhu Mansion, and it was also the poison commonly used in the Qi Dynasty's inner residence.

Fortunately, she was able to solve it.

However, Rong'er also vomited and had diarrhea because of this, and she didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, he pretended nothing had happened and accompanied Zhu Xianyue to the flower viewing banquet.

…

Of course, the old lady didn't want Zhu Xianyue to make a fool of herself at the flower viewing banquet.

In her opinion, Zhu Xianyue was very stupid and "more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."

But Zhu Baoning personally requested and promised to take good care of Zhu Xianyue.

Thinking that although Zhu Baoning is not of the Zhu family's bloodline, he grew up in the Zhu family and received family education since childhood, he must be a sensible person.

Moreover...both families, openly or secretly, wanted Zhu Xianyue to "die in childbirth" after giving birth to the child, and then created a sentimental character for Duan Junyao.

——He had no intention of marrying another, so he supported Zhu Baoning as his principal wife. After all, Zhu Baoning also grew up in the Zhu Mansion.

Such a person of deep affection and loyalty will surely be favored by His Majesty.

But that’s another story.

For some reason, the old lady's eyelids kept twitching as she watched the two of them leave.

I always feel like something bad is going to happen.

Soon, the maid came to pass on the message: "Old Madam... Aunt Chan is pregnant!"

Old lady: “…”

She fainted immediately!

At such an old age! My husband takes a concubine! My concubine is pregnant!

Why not just kill her?

…

The flower viewing banquet was held in the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke and the Young Duke are both pillars of the Qi Dynasty.

"Have you heard? The Fifth Prince will also be attending today's flower viewing banquet!"

"The Crown Prince is frail and often suffers from illness, while the Fifth Prince is a rare talent, often receiving praise from His Majesty..."

The people are not allowed to discuss the affairs of the court, but these words are almost enough to break the window paper.

Listening to the discussions outside, Zhu Xianyue pulled the curtain closed with her bare hands.

"Madam, is what they said true? If you cooperate with the Crown Prince, will it be..."

Will there be no recovery?

Rong'er asked.

She was really worried about Zhu Xianyue.

"Besides this path, do you think I have any other way to go?"

From their last fleeting encounter, Zhu Xianyue could already sense that Prince Qi Wenyu didn't have much time left.

Even though she has superb medical skills, it is useless now because she has no way to get to Qi Wenyu.

Therefore, today's matter can only succeed, not fail!

Rong'er also nodded heavily and said, "Madam, we will definitely be able to leave the Marquis' Mansion!"

…

Many distinguished guests came to the flower viewing banquet.

The fifth prince Qi Wenyue actually doesn't like such occasions.

A bunch of chattering women are so annoying.

But he needed an obedient and sensible lady from a noble family to be his wife.

In this way, he can increase his power.
