After Rong Shaoxuan brought in the food box, he found that the food was a little cold, so he went to the stove to boil some water, set up a boiler, and reheated the food.
Then he boiled another bucket of water and brought it into the room.
Jiang Ziyi heard the noise and slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she met Rong Shaoxuan's sharp gaze.
"woke up?"
Jiang Ziyi hid her head in the quilt and hummed with a blushing face.
It was already daybreak and she was still not dressed.
She also saw that Rong Shaoxuan was disheveled, with red marks on his chest from scratches she had made yesterday.
Feeling a little embarrassed.
However, the next second, he was picked up by Rong Shaoxuan and she subconsciously hooked her arms around his neck.
The quilt slipped off.
Jiang Ziyi was naked, and the coolness of the early morning made her shiver, so she couldn't help but stick closer to him.
Rong Shaoxuan slowly placed her into the wooden barrel that had just been filled with water, and warmth instantly flowed through her limbs.
Jiang Ziyi sighed softly in comfort.
The next second, Rong Shaoxuan also stepped into the wooden barrel from behind Jiang Ziyi.
Because the wooden barrel was not very big, the two bodies were pressed tightly together.
Jiang Ziyi looked back and found that the man who had been riding on her yesterday still had a faint blush on his face.
She deliberately leaned back, curved her red lips and opened them slightly: "We did that yesterday, why are you blushing when we take a bath together today?" Her voice was gentle and charming.
Hearing this, Xiao Shaoxuan raised his head again.
When Jiang Ziyi realized it, she had already been severely restrained by the person behind her.
Rong Shaoxuan said in a low and hoarse voice in her ear, "Do it a few more times, and you won't blush anymore..."
Only then did Jiang Ziyi realize what it meant to speak out of turn...
So the more I took a bath, the dirtier it got...
By the time the two of them had finished cleaning up, it was already noon.
After the meal, Jiang Ziyi still felt sore and tired all over, so she went back to bed to sleep.
Rong Shaoxuan didn't sleep anymore. He dressed neatly, closed the door gently, and went to find the secret guard again.
"How's the situation in the palace lately?"
Seeing Rong Shaoxuan asking this question, the secret guard said with some embarrassment: "The palace announced yesterday that the Queen had disappeared and died on her way back to the palace..."
"Moreover, this matter was personally decreed by the Empress Dowager."
After listening, Rong Shaoxuan didn't say anything. He pursed his lips tightly, and the curve of his mouth was colder than ice and snow.
He didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be even more impatient than Rong Jingyuan to announce the news of Jiang Ziyi's death.
But then he thought again, the current empress dowager was the former Concubine Xian, so he was not surprised by this move.
In his impression, that woman had always been as vicious as a snake and would never make use of anything that could be used.
She probably did this to welcome the new person into the palace as soon as possible so that he could become her new chess piece in charge of the harem.
His eyes turned cold and he asked, "Did anyone new enter the palace yesterday?"
"As expected of His Highness, you are very clever. A woman did enter the palace yesterday. She was the Jiang family woman who was summoned to Youcheng when the Empress disappeared. However..."
"only?"
"That woman was driven out by the Emperor in the evening... and..."
"Don't be sloppy, just say it all in one breath!"
"The Emperor announced to the world that evening that he refused to acknowledge the Queen's death and that his position as Queen would remain forever."
"Many people have already praised the current emperor's deep affection, while some even criticize the queen for leaving the palace without permission, which led to the accident..."
After the secret guard finished speaking, he carefully looked up at Rong Shaoxuan's expression.
His expression at this moment was terribly gloomy.
Will the position of empress be retained forever? Rong Shaoxuan, who was born in an imperial family, did not believe that Rong Jingyuan was such an emotional person.
I'm afraid this move is just to prevent the Queen Mother from adding more people to the harem.
He lowered his eyes. He didn't expect that Jiang Ziyi was no longer in the palace, but was dragged out by them and used in this way.
A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Inform our people in the city that if they hear anyone making up stories about the Queen, they should cut off their tongues."
The secret guards were shocked. His Highness only communicated with the two of them on a daily basis. The elite troops under his command who were hiding in the city had been silent for a long time, so much so that they thought they would live their lives like ordinary people.
His Highness is now willing to use this power for that woman.
It seems that His Highness is serious this time!
"Yes! We will do it right away!" The secret guard immediately headed towards the city.
......
In the palace, the Queen Mother's face was terribly gloomy at this moment.
Yesterday she issued an imperial decree, announcing the Queen's death, and at the same time sent a new woman from the Jiang family to the palace.
The woman's name was Jiang Qin, and she was also her niece. She looked about 60% similar to Jiang Ziyi.
Who would have known that when Rong Jingyuan saw her, he would actually dare to drive her out of the palace on the spot, and even announced to the world that Jiang Ziyi was not dead and that he would keep the position of queen for her forever!
This move is tantamount to slapping her in the face!
Moreover, she sent someone to invite Rong Jingyuan to her palace, but Rong Jingyuan actually refused. He actually dared to refuse her!
The empress dowager was so angry that she couldn't sleep well the whole night and planned to go to Rong Jingyuan in person the next day.
Ming Fei also couldn't sleep last night.
She had thought that Rong Jingyuan would no longer have any doubts about her, but unexpectedly, Rong Jingyuan still called in the spies stationed in Qifeng Palace and asked about what happened that day.
The spy told Rong Jingyuan that it was Concubine Ming who took the initiative to go to Qifeng Palace that day, and the Empress did not summon her.
From the day he found out, Rong Jingyuan never set foot in her palace again, and no matter what reason she asked for a meeting, Rong Jingyuan refused to see her.
So when she heard Rong Jingyuan announce that the throne would always be reserved for Jiang Ziyi, she knew that Rong Jingyuan knew everything.
She called over the palace maid Yunyan and asked, "You said before that there's a pill that can cause a false pregnancy. Is that true?"
"Yes, Madam, but the pill is made by a poisonous insect. After taking it, it can diagnose pregnancy."
"But... after the poison worm dies, it cannot be expelled, and the woman who takes it will never be able to conceive..."
When Concubine Ming heard the words "she will never be able to conceive", she gritted her teeth and said, "Go find one for me."
"Your Majesty... have you really thought it through..." Yunyan said with some reluctance.
This pill has been used as a contraceptive method in their village.
Empress Mingfei doesn't have any children of her own yet...
"Just go and look for it, why are you talking so much nonsense." Ming Fei was in a bad mood at the moment, so her tone was also very bad, not at all like the gentle and kind person she usually looked.
"Yes, your majesty." Yunyan hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
