Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Jealous Woman
"Madam Chun! Show him away!" Chu Xian shouted coldly. This servant was so arrogant and extreme that he must not get close to the young prince.
"Madam, could you please let me try?" Mrs. Qiu was anxious.
If she fails to complete the mission, all her family members will die. She cannot let her parents die tragically.
"Ms. Qiu, please come this way." Nanny Chun reached out and pulled up Mrs. Qiu, who was lying on the ground and refused to leave.
Amidst the shoving and pulling, Mrs. Qiu rushed straight towards the wet nurse standing beside Chu Xian: "The little prince is crying so hard, let this servant take a look."
In a flash, Chu Xian had no time to think, she pulled out her hairpin and stabbed it hard into Qiu's neck.
"Fujin!" Xianrong kicked Qiu to the ground.
"Hurry up and take the little prince away. If anyone else gets close to him, I will not let you off." Chu Xian's hands were covered in blood as she slumped down in the armchair.
If she had been a step late, Qiu's hands would have already touched the Fourth Prince's face.
"Suiqing, carefully check Qiu's body to see if there is anything unusual." Chu Xian always felt that Qiu was extremely strange. She suppressed her shock and anger and ordered Xianrong to drag Qiu's body to the outer courtyard for disposal.
Just now she seemed to see a thick layer of powder on Qiu's wrist, and she didn't know what scandal she was trying to cover up.
"Check her arm carefully. I just noticed something's wrong with the skin on her arm."
"Has the prince returned home yet?"
Nanny Chun lowered her head and said, "I just returned to the front yard to bathe and change clothes."
Because of the recent prevalence of smallpox in the capital, the Fourth Master was too cautious to come to the main courtyard to accompany her and the child immediately after leaving court every day. He would always bathe and change clothes in the front courtyard, and would only come to the main courtyard after asking the imperial physician to check her pulse every day.
"I'll go to the front yard and take a look." Chu Xian had just finished her confinement and had been busy with the smallpox vaccination for everyone in the palace these past two days. She had not had time to go to the front yard to clean up.
"Mammy, change into that new silver-red short coat."
Chu Xian sat in front of the dressing table, carefully selecting jewelry.
After choosing and choosing, she couldn't help but smile in the mirror when she was dressed. The pearl hairpins and earrings were all made by the Fourth Master himself. It had become her habit to use the items he carefully prepared.
After putting on her makeup, Chu Xian came to the front yard.
The Fourth Master's daily routine is very regular, so you don't have to guess that he is having a meal at this time.
Chu Xian walked into the dining room and was instantly struck by lightning.
But he saw a beautiful girl nestled in the Fourth Master's arms, and the two of them rolled onto the soft couch, their clothes half undressed.
"Hey, Madam, where are you going..." Su Peisheng was standing by the door. He suddenly saw Madam walking out of the house with an angry look on her face, and he was immediately panicked.
"Where else can I go? I dare not disturb the prince and the beauty's joy." Xian Rong said sarcastically.
"Ah?" Su Peisheng was confused, his heart suddenly sank, and he rushed into the house.
At this time, Rong Mei was already riding on the prince, and looking at the prince...
Something is wrong. The prince is extremely devoted to his wife. Even if he can't hold it back and needs to relieve his sexual desire, he will not openly provoke his wife in broad daylight.
Rong Mei was not a stunning beauty. She had been hanging around in the front yard for several months. If the prince had taken a fancy to Rong Mei, how could he have remained indifferent for several months?
No! What if the prince was drugged by Rong Mei?
Without saying a word, Su Peisheng rushed forward and pushed the naked Rong Mei away.
"Su Peisheng! What are you doing! Rongmei is in the emperor's bedroom. Are you blind? How dare you offend the master! Get out! I'll take care of you." Nanny Xie suddenly spoke out from nowhere and slapped Su Peisheng in the face.
It was obvious that Aunt Xie had been lurking in the house the entire time.
"Madam Xie, are you crazy? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! Bloody Guillotine!!" Su Peisheng shouted angrily, covering his painful cheek.
"Su Peisheng, are you determined to go against me? I am the prince's biological wet nurse. The prince was raised by my milk. Who do you think you are? How dare you disrespect me? I will report it to the prince! Today, either you die or I live."
Xie was so angry that she started cursing.
"Eunuch Su, please be kind. If I enter the backyard, I will not treat you unfairly." Rong Mei wrapped herself in a thin-collared dress and flattered Su Peisheng.
"Maybe in the next life. I'm afraid there's no chance in this life." Su Peisheng stared at the prince who slowly sat up on the couch with horror in his eyes, his calves trembling.
The moment Nanny Xie realized that the prince had woken up, she immediately fell to the ground trembling, covering her heart and sobbing weakly.
"Your Majesty, Su Peisheng just hit me, wuwuwu... pity my old bones..."
"Kill him."
"Why don't you drag Su Peisheng out and kill him?" Nanny Xie suppressed the smug look in her eyes.
Su Peisheng was trying to hold back his laughter like a fool. He raised his hand and several blood-dripping guns dragged Xie's mother and daughter out of the house.
Meanwhile, Chu Xian returned to the main courtyard in a daze.
"Lock the front and back doors of the main courtyard."
"Xian'er, what's going on? Why is the door locked in the middle of the day?"
Wan Ning was playing sepak takraw with the eldest prince Honghui in the yard. When she saw Xian'er coming back from the front yard with red eyes, she had already guessed what was going on.
"I'm sleepy. I'm going to rest first." Chu Xian held back her tears and hurried back to the house.
Wan Ning handed Hui'er to the care of the nanny and quietly called Nanny Chun to her side.
As expected, Prince Yong actually favored a servant in the front yard in broad daylight. Wan Ning was furious, but she could do nothing about it.
Xian'er eventually embarked on the same path of no return as her.
At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the gate.
"Madam, the prince is here, please open the door quickly!" Su Peisheng's anxious voice came.
Sui Qing was about to open the door, but was stopped by the Eighth Lady: "Why go? Leave him alone for ten days or half a month before you decide."
"Anyone who dares to open the door today will be beaten to death with sticks." Wan Ning said, and pulled out a whip from her waist.
"Eighth Lady, the prince is here." Xianrong reminded quietly, "He jumped in from outside the wall..."
Wan Ning turned around and saw Prince Yong stumbling towards the inner room with unsteady steps.
"How dare you come here!" Wan Ning raised her whip in anger.
"Oh, Eighth Lady, please calm down. Our prince is truly wronged." Su Peisheng was so frightened that he knelt at the feet of the Eighth Lady and defended his prince in concise words.
"The prince was drugged by that damned Madam Xie and her daughter, and the effects haven't worn off yet. Please let the prince get rid of the effects with Concubine Fu first, please."
Imperial Physician Ye Tianshi leaned against the wall, anxiously defending himself. "Eighth Lady, what Eunuch Su said is true. I can testify for the prince. Madam Xie is ruthless. She actually used... a strong drug only found in brothels to poison the prince. If the prince doesn't relieve himself, he will definitely fall ill."
Wan Ning's expression softened somewhat, but she still didn't forget to taunt Prince Yong: "Su Peisheng, why don't you go and help Prince Yong? Look at him, he's become a weakling. I don't think he can even climb onto your wife's bed."
Before Wan Ning finished speaking, she saw Prince Yong stagger forward a few steps in defiance and then hide in the inner room.
Wan Ning suppressed her laughter, turned around, picked up Xiao Huier and went back to her own main courtyard to continue playing sepak takraw.
In the inner room, Chu Xian threw all the carefully prepared clothes and jewelry onto the ground. At this moment, she was so angry that she was soaking in the medicinal bath and slapping the water violently, and she didn't pay any attention to the movement outside the door.
With a splash, there was a sound of someone falling into the water behind her. Chu Xian turned around in panic and saw the man with a flushed face sitting in the waist-deep bathtub, anxiously undressing.
"Haha, how long has it been? Your Highness, you're already satisfied so quickly? Do you need me to call a few more ladies to serve you? A few more mandarin ducks would be nice to play in the water with you. I'm suddenly feeling unwell, so I'll take my leave!"
Chu Xian turned around angrily, but before she could get up, she was suddenly pulled into a hot embrace.
"Xian'er, Xian'er, Yinzhen is in pain, help me... Xian'er... give it to me quickly..."
"Enough! You don't mind the dirt, but I think it's unlucky!" Chu Xian was furious. She was fed up with this bastard's inconsistency.
"Fujin, oh my god, please help the prince. The prince was drugged by that damned Xie Ma and her daughter, and the effect of the drug hasn't worn off yet."
Su Peisheng was so anxious that he knelt down and scratched the door.
Ye Tianshi, whose arm was twisted by Sui Qing, quickly spoke up for the prince, "Fujin, Su Peisheng's words are absolutely true. Sui Qing and I can both prove it."
"Yes, yes, Madam, I can prove it." Sui Qing hurriedly joined in.
"Let him continue to be soft-hearted. If someday a woman comes to me pregnant, will I have to take care of her during her confinement?"
Chu Xian said angrily.
In the end, she couldn't bear to see him suffer, so she turned around and bit his shoulder. The man groaned in pain, and couldn't wait to push her over the edge of the bathtub and do it.
The master is making love in the bathtub, and the servants don't even need to prepare hot water.
Su Peisheng and Nanny Chun listened to the noises in the house with great concern.
As the sun was setting, the noises in the inner chamber that had just subsided began to rise again without restraint. Nanny Chun couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, the wife is weak, you need to restrain yourself."
Behind the curtain, Chu Xian felt like her bones were about to fall apart. What the hell did that damn Aunt Xie feed the Fourth Master?!
She was afraid she would die in bed today.
From noon until the curtains were pitch black, drowsiness and wakefulness alternated back and forth, and in the end, only pain was left.
"It hurts..." Chu Xian couldn't help sobbing.
The man's body stiffened, and he leaned over to kiss the tear marks at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. His violent actions gradually became gentle, and Chu Xian barely managed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Fourth Master tossed and turned again, and finally, exhausted, he fell asleep in her arms.
When the Fourth Master fell asleep, Chu Xian got up in a hurry.
"Mammy, prepare the contraceptive soup." The Fourth Master was so excited today that Chu Xian was afraid of getting pregnant.
Less than three months after giving birth to two little princes, her body was very weak and she could not get pregnant again.
There was silence outside the door for a long time, and then Su Peisheng's voice came: "Fujin, the prince took contraceptive medicine before he came."
Chu Xian was stunned, and caressed his pale cheek with heartache, then took the initiative to return to his arms and sleep in his arms.
She slept until the next day. When Chu Xian woke up, there was no one beside her.
Nanny Chun came in carrying a copper basin and said, "Fujin, the prince went to court early this morning."
"Well, Your Highness, are you feeling well? Ouch..." Chu Xian's legs went weak and she stumbled and fell back onto the bed.
Seeing this, Nanny Chun turned around and fetched a box of ointment, holding it in front of Fu Jin: "Fu Jin, I will help you apply the ointment to reduce the swelling and relieve the pain."
"No...no need, I can do it myself." Chu Xian took the ointment with a red face and turned her back, too embarrassed to see anyone.
When Wan Ning pushed the door open, Chu Xian was sitting at the table having lunch with the support of Nanny Chun.
"Oh my, who is so exhausted that he can't get out of bed? Xian'er, you should exercise more." Wan Ning joked.
Chu Xian lowered her head even lower and quickly changed the subject: "Madam Chun, why is it so noisy outside?"
"Replying to the Lady, the prince has ordered the wall connecting the front yard and the Lady's courtyard to be chiseled open. From now on, the Lady's inner courtyard and the Prince's inner courtyard will be combined into one courtyard."
"Why would you want to unite them? It would be even more infuriating if you did. He still has three wet nurses." Chu Xian teased sourly.
"Xian'er, you can't wrongly accuse Prince Yong of this. The few old maids left in his courtyard are almost three hundred years old in total, and half of their hair is white. Are you still worried that you can't compete with them?"
Wan Ning stuffed the chicken leg into Chu Xian's mouth and said, "Xian'er, Prince Yong wants to dig out his heart and tie it to you. You must stop being so hypocritical."
"Oh, this is really annoying. From now on, if I come to see you, I will have to meet Prince Yong all the time. No, I have to sleep between the two of you."
Chu Xian burst out laughing and casually threw a persimmon to Wan Ning: "If you dare to sleep in the middle, come."
Wan Ning was shocked: "Come on, I'm afraid of being frozen to death by some ice cubes. Only you treat ice cubes as treasures."
As she was speaking, Nanny Gui came over quickly.
"Fujin, something terrible is happening..."
"What's going on? Which woman in the harem is pregnant again? Or is Concubine Zhang's son Hongwang sick again?" The smile on Wan Ning's face disappeared.
"Fujin, something has happened to Prince Beile. He has been imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court."
"What!" Wan Ning's eyes were filled with horror.
"It is said that the prince has secretly kept some account books, which involve the private accounts of officials above the third rank in the court."
"Okay, I understand. You all go down. Aunt Chun, you go down too." Wan Ning burst into tears.
After the servants left, Wan Ning suddenly folded her robe, bent her knees and prostrated herself on the ground.
"Wan Ning, what are you doing?" Chu Xian was shocked.
"Xian'er, Yinsi has always been cautious and prudent. The only people who can bring him down are Prince Yong and the Crown Prince. Please, for the sake of our friendship, save Yinsi."
"Wan Ning, you and I agreed long ago that no matter how despicable the men in the court are, how can I ask the prince to do that?" Chu Xian was extremely embarrassed.
Over the years, the fight between the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master has never stopped, and Chu Xian and Wan Ning have tacitly agreed not to interfere in the fights between men.
Wan Ning sobbed helplessly, "Xian'er, if it was Prince Yong who was in trouble today, would you come to beg me?"
Chu Xian was speechless.
"Xian'er, if you come to me today to beg me, I will not let you suffer even a little injustice, even if I poke a hole in the sky. This is my promise."
"If you are unwilling to help me, then I will move to the Imperial Clan House and become a prisoner with Yinsi. It would be fine if I died there for the rest of my life. At least I won't have to worry about him betraying me anymore."
"I'll go back first." Wan Ning stood up and left with tears in her eyes.
"Wan Ning..." Chu Xian hurriedly chased to the wall, but was shocked to find that the corner door leading to Wan Ning's yard was locked.
"Madam Chun, go and find out what happened to the Eighth Master?"
"Has the prince returned?"
"Replying to the Lady, the Prince is currently assessing the eldest prince's studies in the study."
"Never mind, I'll go ask myself."
Chu Xian rushed to the study in a hurry.
In the study, little Honghui was reciting the Three Character Classic with his head shaking.
"Master, something happened to the Eighth Master." Chu Xian came to the Fourth Master's side anxiously.
"Oh, Xian'er, you don't have to care about the affairs of the court." Yinzhen had long expected that his wife would plead for his eighth brother, and he had already thought of an excuse to shirk responsibility.
"Xian'er, my eighth brother was fighting for power with the Crown Prince in Jiangnan. It was Yuqing Palace that did it. It has nothing to do with me."
"What exactly is going on? Is there any way to resolve it? I can also secretly remind Wan Ning. Master, I can't let Wan Ning be a widow." Chu Xian threw herself into the Fourth Master's arms and burst into tears.
He was very scheming, and she was no match for the Fourth Master at all. She could only use the dumbest but most effective method - crying in front of him.
"Master, please, can you help Wan Ning?"
"Xian'er, I can't take action, otherwise the Crown Prince will be furious. Do you want to see me imprisoned in the clan residence?"
"If something happens to Master, what will you and the children do? Xian'er, is Wan Ning more important than me and the children?"
"That's not what I meant, wuwuwu..." Chu Xian was left speechless by the Fourth Master's questioning.
"But I can't let Wan Ning get into trouble. If something happens to the Eighth Master, Wan Ning will definitely not want to live alone, just like if something happens to the Master, I won't live alone either."
"Forget it. Since I can't help Wan Ning, I have to stay with her."
"Xian'er, for the safety of me and the children, please refrain from visiting the Eighth Prince's Mansion."
Chu Xianfang walked to the door, and upon hearing this, she paused, turned around and looked at the Fourth Master with tears in her eyes: "If you force me again, I will also be building walls in the Fujin Courtyard, and Wan Ning and I will live out our lives in solitude."
"You!" Yinzhen was choked with anger.
After Chu Xian finished speaking, she rushed to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
As luck would have it, Wan Ning actually went to the palace to plead with Emperor Kangxi.
Chu Xian secretly thought that this was not good. Emperor Kangxi had never liked Wan Ning and had once scolded her for being a jealous woman. If Wan Ning went to the Qianqing Palace to plead for mercy, she would definitely not end up well.
"Fujin, it's raining." Nanny Chun stood behind Fujin with an umbrella.
"Hurry to the Forbidden City." Chu Xian rushed to the Forbidden City anxiously.
Thunder roared and heavy rain poured down. Chu Xian was so anxious that she held back her tears. Wan Ning was most afraid of thunderstorms. In the past, whenever there was a thunderstorm, she would hide in the quilt and cry in fear.
If Wan Ning behaves improperly in front of the Palace of Heavenly Purity today, it will surely anger Emperor Kangxi.
She was about to leave Cang Zhenmen when a familiar carriage came galloping towards her. It turned out to be the mount of the Eighth Master.
At this time, the Eighth Master was still wearing the dragon robe he wore to court, and he didn't even hold an umbrella. He rushed into the Cang Zhen Gate.
"Master! The road is slippery in the rain, please go slowly." Yan Jin grabbed the oil-paper umbrella and followed behind Master Ba.
Chu Xian hurried to the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and saw Wan Ning soaked from the heavy rain, pushing the Eighth Master away in embarrassment.
"Wan Ning!" Chu Xian screamed at Wan Ning, whose forehead was bleeding.
"Xian'er, let's go back." Wan Ning fell to the ground and shook off the man's hand again.
"Come and give me a hand."
"Okay." Chu Xian rushed to Wan Ning and helped the trembling Wan Ning up.
The two of them snuggled together under the umbrella and walked slowly in the palace corridor.
"Wan Ning, the Eighth Prince is following behind without an umbrella." Chu Xian reminded in a low voice.
"Who cares what he does? As the legitimate wife, I have kept my promise and will never leave him. We will share the good and the bad together. I have never owed him a cent."
"I don't owe him anything." Wan Ning raised her head and held back her tears.
"Xian'er, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you. Did you have a fight with Prince Yong because of me?" Wan Ning burst into tears of guilt.
"I should be the one to say sorry. I can't help you."
When the two walked out of Cang Zhen Gate, they saw Su Peisheng running towards them in panic.
"Fujin, Prince, something happened to Prince!" Su Peisheng knelt at Fujin's feet crying.
"Right Minister Liang accused the prince of secretly keeping records of officials' words and deeds. His Majesty was furious and confined the prince to the clan office, saying he would remove his yellow belt and demote him to a commoner."
"What! Go to the Imperial Clan House! No, go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity." Chu Xian's eyes were filled with tears as she turned around and went back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Xian'er, don't worry. I'll go ask Yinsi what's going on. Don't worry."
"Wan Ning, go back first. The Eighth Master has just escaped from captivity. Don't act rashly. Listen to the Eighth Master in everything."
"What happens in the court has nothing to do with you. You and the Eighth Master have never been on good terms. I will never make it difficult for you to plead for me." Chu Xian held back her tears and turned to rush towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Xian'er..." Wan Ning's eyes were full of shame.
She took advantage of her friendship with Xian'er and acted aggressively and forced her to do things against her will, but Xian'er never wanted to embarrass her.
"Xian'er!" Wan Ning rushed to the man standing under the wall in the rain.
"Yinsi, if anything happens to Xian'er, I will kill myself and sever all ties with you."
"Guo Luoluo Wanning! I escaped death after nearly a lifetime and left the clan residence. I didn't think of anyone else and came to find you first. You didn't even have a word of comfort. Your heart and eyes were filled with others. Do you feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
"Hehehe... Guilt? You love to hear sweet words. Go back to Prince's Mansion and tell your concubines. Their words are more beautiful than mine. Guilt? I have a clear conscience!"
Yinsi choked with sobs and remained speechless. The heavy rain washed the scar on her forehead white, and the bloodstains stained her pale and thin face.
She clearly has him in her heart, so why can't she continue the relationship?
"Wan'er, I'm sorry..." Yinsi said in a hoarse voice.
"My Lord, you are not wrong. It is I, Guo Luoluo Wanning, who is wrong. I am wrong in being stupid and conceited. How can you be wrong? If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave!"
Wan Ning covered her red and painful forehead and turned to look for Xian'er.
"Yan Jin, go..." Yinsi struggled and said through gritted teeth, "Tell Fu Jin about that matter."
Yan Jin was horrified: "Lord Beile, you absolutely cannot do this! Prince Zhi and the Ninth Prince have cooperated with you until now, and victory is in sight. If you let Prince Yong go..."
"It's none of your business! Go!" Yinsi scolded in a deep voice.
Yan Jin nodded painfully and turned to chase Fu Jin.
Chu Xian rushed to the Palace of Heavenly Purity with tears in her eyes and knelt down in the heavy rain.
"Your Majesty, I am the concubine of Prince Yong, Ulanara. Your Majesty has been wrongly accused. I beg Your Majesty to see clearly."
"Your Majesty, I am the wife of Prince Yong, Ulanara. There must be something hidden in Prince Yong's case. I beg you to show me mercy!"
The hoarse wails were heard in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Liang Jiugong's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he secretly looked at the Emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne reviewing memorials.
Emperor Kangxi frowned but never stopped writing.
If Yinzhen can't even get out of this little thing, how can he steer the country in the future?
"Your Majesty, Prince Yong's wife just gave birth to a pair of little grandchildren two months ago. She is not in good health and cannot be exposed to the rain. Please have mercy on her, Your Majesty."
Liang Jiugong's sudden kneeling left Li Dequan dumbfounded.
The eunuchs in front of the emperor were most afraid of pleading for others. This was a big taboo.
He has been a partner with Liang Jiugong for decades, and this is the first time he has seen Liang Jiugong break a taboo.
Inside the Qianqing Palace, the sound of Liang Jiugong kowtowing and begging for mercy could be heard continuously, but Emperor Kangxi remained unmoved.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yong's wife has fainted..." Li Dequan reported hurriedly.
"I'm not the imperial physician, so you don't have to tell me. Let the imperial physician take a look." Emperor Kangxi snorted coldly.
If he had not promised Fei Yanggu to treat Nara well, he would not have tolerated that jealous woman.
Don't think that he doesn't know about the dirty things in Yinzhen's harem. If it weren't for Nara's interference, why would Yinzhen only have three sons?
"You little dog slave, go and serve in Changchun Garden."
Liang Jiugong fell to the ground and said, "I obey your order."
The movements in the Qianqing Palace were soon spread to the Zongrenfu by people with ulterior motives, in an attempt to confuse people and cause chaos in the prisoners' morale.
"Master, the concubine braved the rain to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to plead for mercy. She kowtowed until her head was broken and bleeding, and she fainted on the ground. She was just carried back to the prince's place to rest."
Su Peisheng came hurriedly to report.
Yinzhen was sitting in the clan prison, reflecting on his mistakes. Upon hearing this, he clenched his hands hidden in his arrow sleeves.
"How is Fu Jin? Tell Fu Jin that I will return safely and don't worry."
"Your Highness, the Imperial Physician said that Fu Jin was frightened and weak, but she is not seriously injured."
"Yeah." Yinzhen was silent and paced back and forth in the cell.
"Su Peisheng, do that immediately, no mercy."
Su Peisheng looked horrified, turned around and left with a serious expression.
Inside Prince Ganxi's residence, Chu Xian slowly woke up.
"Xian'er, you finally woke up. Imperial Physician, please come and see Prince Yong's wife as soon as possible." Wan Ning was worried.
"How is the prince?" Chu Xian struggled to get up.
"Xian'er, I'm sorry... This was set up by Yinsi and the Ninth Prince of Zhi. They wanted to eliminate Prince Yong and leave the Crown Prince alone."
"This was all Yinsi's scheme from the beginning. He wanted to force the Crown Prince to push Prince Yong out as a scapegoat for Yuqing Palace. Even if Prince Yong managed to escape, he would definitely part ways with Yuqing Palace."
Wan Ning felt extremely guilty and told the whole story.
"Change my clothes for me. I want to go to Yuqing Palace." Chu Xian stood up resolutely.
"Xian'er, don't be impulsive. Don't go to Yuqing Palace." Wan Ning lowered her voice, "You know very well that the person in Yuqing Palace has ulterior motives towards you. You must not go there and seek death."
"I have no other choice. Even if Yuqing Palace is the eighteenth level of hell, I must go there."
"Wan Ning, if anything happens to me, please help me take care of the three little princes and don't let them be bullied by others. Please, in this world, I only trust you."
"Xian'er..." Wan Ning burst into tears.
"Don't worry, I won't treat the children unfairly."
Wan Ning made up her mind that if anything happened to Xian'er, she would never let anything happen to the little princes, even if she had to endure the disgust and sell her body and soul to serve Yinsi.
"Wan Ning, please help me go back to the palace to take care of the young princes. I am worried about them." Chu Xian bent her knees with tears in her eyes and crawled at Wan Ning's feet.
"Xian'er...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Chu Xian reached out and patted the back of Wan Ning's hand, shook her head silently, stood up and rushed to Yuqing Palace.
The one guarding the main gate of Yuqing Palace today was actually the prince's personal eunuch Ling Pu. Ling Pu seemed to have expected her coming. He silently made a gesture of invitation, bowed and walked in front to lead the way.
Chu Xian dismissed Nanny Chun and Xian Rong, and followed Ling Pu alone, walking through the flowers and willows, around the corridor, and came to the quiet study.
At this hour, the prince was sitting alone at the table, drinking by himself.
Beside him lay empty dishes and a full glass of wine.
Chu Xian folded her robe and sat down nervously.
The prince raised his glass and drank alone, while Chu Xian silently served him.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the prince suddenly grabbed Chu Xian’s hand and rubbed it intimately.
Chu Xian's whole body froze, but she didn't struggle.
"Chu Xian, do you still remember what that is?"
Following the prince's gaze, Chu Xian saw a broken rabbit kite hanging on the wall.
She had no clear memories of the original owner and could only shake her head blankly.
"Oh, you are truly heartless. Let me tell you, this is the kite you and I flew together in the Huangji Palace when we were little."
"Prince, what should I do so that you can let Prince Yong go?"
Chu Xian spoke directly.
"When you were a child, you said you wanted to be my Crown Princess. Do you remember?" Yinreng asked painfully.
"My Lord, children speak without restraint. I was ignorant when I was young. Please forgive me if I have offended you." Chu Xian tensed up. The prince's eyes became more and more dangerous.
She was not an innocent girl, so she naturally knew what it meant when a man looked at her like that.
"Why did you forget everything? You are not her, who are you?"
The prince suddenly grabbed her neck, dragged her and threw her onto the couch.
"Prince, I am your sister-in-law and the legitimate wife of Prince Yong. Please think twice." Chu Xian struggled in fear.
"Why are you pretending? Since you dared to come here alone today, do you really not know what I want? Since you came here so happily, you must be willing to throw yourself into my arms!"
"I am the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty! The future new emperor! The whole world belongs to me! Including you!"
"If you stay with me for one night, you can leave the clan residence alive tomorrow. Otherwise, I will go to collect Yinzhen's body tomorrow."
"Why did you struggle in Hongluo Temple back then? Why did you struggle? If you had obeyed me, you would be the Crown Princess now."
The sound of tearing silk continued to be heard. Chu Xian was no match for the prince, so she simply closed her eyes.
From the moment Wan Ning said that Yuqing Palace was going to attack the Fourth Master, Chu Xian knew that Yuqing Palace’s target was not the Fourth Master, but her.
The prince set up a trap within a trap to kill the Fourth Master. When you look into it, the real purpose is not the wine, but her.
"Xian'er, call me Prince Brother, like you did when we were little, but call me louder."
"Prince...Prince brother..." Chu Xian whispered softly, enduring the humiliation.
