The situation in the court has been very tense recently. The Zhang family held a banquet at this critical juncture. Although everyone was surprised, they all came to the banquet to relax.
The carriage arrived at Wancang Garden at the foot of the imperial palace. Rong Xuqing and Jiang Xinran were already waiting at the door.
There were a lot of people coming today, and they saw many familiar faces.
"Xuqing, Xinran, follow me closely and don't get separated." Qin Nanjing repeatedly reminded them.
"Is...what is it?"
As soon as Rong Xuqing asked the question, Rong Chaoxi answered her in her heart.
[The eldest prince is going to rebel today, and we are all hostages.]
Rong Xuqing's heart trembled, and he looked at Qin Nanjing, who nodded slightly.
Although the eldest prince was under house arrest, he still did a lot of tricks behind the scenes.
Almost all the families to whom the Zhang family sent invitations were neutral or royalist, and there were very few people on the eldest prince's side.
You can tell what he wants to do just by looking at his toes.
Perhaps he also knew that his actions were under the emperor's surveillance, but he felt that he had a great chance of winning and was somewhat fearless, so he dared to gather all the opposing parties in such a high-profile manner.
The mother and daughter understood each other tacitly.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Xinran, who was unable to hear Chaoxi's thoughts, looked confused.
"What's going on today?"
"It's nothing. There's a Hongmen Banquet today, but don't worry, everything will be fine." Rong Xuqing took Jiang Xinran's hand and walked towards the most colorful cluster of flowers.
"Ah? The Hongmen Banquet? Is that the Hongmen Banquet I was thinking of?" Jiang Xinran was even more confused.
Perhaps because she had been by everyone's side day and night, Rong Xuqing had no fear at all about what was to come. She was even in a good mood and told everyone about the various varieties of flowers in the garden.
The wind grew stronger, bringing with it a lot of white clouds. The white clouds gathered and blocked out the bright sunshine.
"This sky... looks like it's going to rain again." Someone murmured while looking up at the sky.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, knocking over many flower pots and causing a burst of exclamations.
Mrs. Zhang saw this and hurried over to greet everyone.
"Ladies and ladies, the weather seems strange. Please move into the hall."
Everyone followed instructions and entered the greenhouse.
Qin Nanjing hugged Rong Chaoxi tightly, held Rong Xuqing's hand, took a deep breath, and followed him in.
The moment everyone stepped in, the door was slammed shut.
"Ah...what's going on? Why are you closing the door?" Many people came forward and asked to open the door.
The sound of swords being drawn rang out several times, followed by the guards shouting, "Be quiet, or I'll kill you!"
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not make a sound.
"Ladies and ladies, I'm sorry." Madam Zhang walked out from the crowd with a pleasant face.
"The master of the house has some important business to attend to, so please bear with me, ladies and gentlemen."
As she spoke, she looked at Rong Xuqing.
"Come here, take Miss Rong away and take good care of her."
Hearing this, Qin Nanjing quickly stopped in front of Rong Xuqing and asked, "What do you want to do?"
She had not expected this situation and was terrified.
"Don't be afraid, Madam Rong. Miss Rong is the one His Highness wants. We won't do anything to her." Madam Zhang was always respectful to others.
"Your Highness? Could it be that the eldest prince is going to rebel?" Someone got a glimpse of the current situation from Madam Zhang's words.
Once these words were spoken, some people were frightened again.
Most of the ladies who came this time came from families that did not support the eldest prince's succession to the throne.
If the eldest prince succeeds in his rebellion today, what will be the fate of my master or myself?
Sobbing sounds continued to come from everywhere.
Rong Xuqing's guards have come close, Qin Nanjing is protecting Rong Xuqing tightly.
"Don't even think about touching my daughter while I'm here!"
"Don't even think about touching my sister!" Rong Chaoxi stretched out his arms and hugged Rong Xuqing's neck tightly.
"Little girl, you didn't say anything. I almost forgot about you..."
Madam Zhang's eyes suddenly became fierce, "According to the order of Concubine Lan, if you see Rong anytime, anywhere, you must kill him without mercy!"
