Chapter 287 The Secret of Lord Rong
In Lu Xingwan's mumbling, the Emperor of Great Chu accurately grasped the key points.
The third princess wants to frame the fifth princess.
Originally, I thought that Concubine Lan was soft-hearted and it would be difficult for the Third Princess to be alone in the palace, so I handed her over to Concubine Lan for her upbringing. But I never thought that she would do such a thing.
Thinking of this, the face of the Great Chu Emperor became darker and darker.
Then he stood up and put Lu Xingwan back into Song Qingyan's arms: "Qingyan, take Miss Rong back to Qingyun Palace first. I will go to Yanhe Palace to see Xingyu."
Now it was Rong Wenmiao's turn to be surprised.
On the way here, I thought carefully for a long time about how to report the Third Princess to His Majesty.
She has never been one to take a loss. Since the Third Princess treated her like this, she would definitely not let her go.
But looking at your Majesty's expression, it seems like you are angry?
Could it be that he was looking for trouble with the third princess? I haven't even opened my mouth yet!
Although Song Qingyan was also surprised, she was already accustomed to the Great Chu Emperor coming and leaving suddenly, so she just stood up and saw him off.
Before leaving, the Great Chu Emperor turned his head to look in Rong Wenmiao's direction and said, "Your father is very good."
This made Rong Wenmiao even more confused.
Looking at Rong Wenmiao's expression, Song Qingyan smiled and said, "Let's go to Qingyun Palace."
Lu Xingwan was also muttering to the side.
[Sister Wen will know in a moment! It must be something that will make you happy! ]
Upon hearing this, Song Qingyan couldn't help but turn around and hook Lu Xingwan's nose in a very affectionate manner.
When the group arrived at Qingyun Palace, the second prince had already arrived.
Seeing a few people coming back, he hurriedly stood up and greeted them.
However, Rong Wenmiao felt a little disappointed, as she never expected that the Royal Concubine summoned her into the palace just to bring her together with the Second Prince.
For a moment, she felt a little disappointed with Song Qingyan.
As if she had seen through Rong Wenmiao's thoughts, Song Qingyan took her arm and walked to the main hall, smiling and pushing her into her seat: "Don't you want to know what His Majesty meant by what he said just now?"
Rong Wenmiao looked at the Royal Concubine in confusion.
Song Qingyan turned her head and looked at the Second Prince: "Let Jinyu tell you."
"This concerns your father. You must listen carefully and tell your mother when you return so that she can feel at ease."
After hearing what Song Qingyan said, Rong Wenmiao finally calmed down and sat down.
Song Qingyan then led the group out and said, "Jinxin will be guarding outside. If you have any questions, just call her."
In order to keep the secret, Song Qingyan took Lu Jinyu's followers and Rong Wenmiao's maid away before leaving.
Lu Xingwan looked at Rong Wenmiao's maid and couldn't help but sigh.
[I remember this maid, her name was Ziyi. When Concubine De wanted to harm Rong's sister, this girl was very brave! ]
[How can I be the heroine? Even the maids are so loyal to me. 】
[If you ask me, mother is destined to be a heroine. Your Jinxin and Jinyu are also very loyal! ]
[Compared to the queen's mediocre soldiers and generals...tsk tsk tsk, the queen is really pitiful. ]
Song Qingyan ignored Lu Xingwan and walked out while holding her.
The lotus flowers in the Yu Garden were in full bloom now. It was a great time to enjoy the flowers, so he took Jinyu outside.
At this time in the main hall, in order to avoid suspicion, the second prince deliberately chose to sit opposite Rong Wenmiao, keeping a certain distance from her while allowing her to hear him talking.
After hearing what the Royal Concubine said, Rong Wenmiao stared at the Second Prince in front of her motionlessly, waiting for him to speak.
The second prince coughed lightly and spoke awkwardly, "I specially asked Empress Chen to summon Miss Rong to the palace today. I am really sorry for bothering you."
Rong Wenmiao secretly complained in her heart: I am indeed bothering you. Just to enter this palace, I was exposed to the scorching sun for two incense sticks!
But she didn't show it on her face, she just smiled and said, "Your Highness is too polite."
The second prince finally got to the point.
"The reason why I asked Miss Rong to come here today is actually because of your aunt's matter."
At this point, the Second Prince suddenly fell silent and looked at Rong Wenmiao seriously, "This matter is an absolutely confidential matter. I saw that Miss Rong and Madam Rong were troubled by this matter. In order to avoid the separation of Lord Rong's wife and children, I told Miss Rong."
"Miss Rong, you can tell your mother and brother about this, but you must not let a fourth person know about it."
"Or, the best way is for you to change your story and explain it to your mother and brother, so that they won't misunderstand your father."
Seeing the Second Prince suddenly become so serious, Rong Wenmiao also sat up straight and nodded firmly.
The second prince then continued: "That Aunt Zeng is a spy from the enemy country."
"What?" Hearing this, Rong Wenmiao almost couldn't control herself and wanted to stand up, but she tried hard to suppress her inner excitement and listened to what the second prince said.
"In order to further seduce the other party, we discussed with your father and asked him to pretend to favor the aunt."
"Mr. Rong doesn't even bring his official business home these days."
Rong Wenmiao nodded as if she understood, not quite. She thought her father was bewitched by Aunt Zeng and that was why he didn't even take care of state affairs.
Thinking of this, it seems that many things make sense.
The reason why my mother fell ill was not because my father favored a concubine.
But my father no longer cares about his family and children because of this concubine.
My mother went to scold the concubine several times, but was scolded by my father every time. My mother became so angry that she fell ill.
Although I blame my father.
But now that the Second Prince said this, she could understand it.
Rong Wenmiao had even begun to think about how to explain this matter to her mother and brother.
The Second Prince saw that she was thinking about something, and hurriedly continued, "Lord Rong is really burdened by state affairs, and it makes your mother worry."
"I understand." Rong Wenmiao then raised her head and looked at the Second Prince opposite her. Her eyes were much clearer than when she first arrived.
The second prince also smiled.
Finally, he asked tentatively, "I heard that Xingyu gave you trouble when you came here today?"
Rong Wenmiao was thinking about her own things and did not hear the second prince's words at all.
The second prince was concerned about her, so he asked again without giving up.
Rong Wenmiao then looked up at the Second Prince: "It's okay, I think the Third Princess is in a bad mood."
Now the Third Princess lives in Yanhe Palace, and the Second Prince is also aware of many things. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Xingyu is now being raised in my mother's palace. She used to have bad habits, so don't take it to heart."
Just when Rong Wenmiao thought that the Second Prince was going to mediate on behalf of the Third Princess and felt a little dissatisfied.
The second prince's next words made her slightly startled.
