Chapter 23: Foolish Boy and Foolish Girl x Scheming Emperor (Twenty-three)



The Queen didn't expect Rong Xi to ask so directly. In fact, she already knew what Concubine Chun had done yesterday.

The emperor originally wanted to bring Jingning to the empress dowager to be raised.

After hearing this, she went to beg the emperor. It could be said that she would never have a child in this life. She also liked Jingning very much.

After a lot of assurances, the emperor said he would see what Jingning thought.

Concubine Chun was sent away early this morning. When she left, Jingning was sitting alone in the room, and none of the palace maids or eunuchs around her dared to step forward to persuade her to stay.

"Jingning, although the Queen Mother is not your biological mother, if you wish, the Queen Mother is willing to raise you as her own child."

"Mother."

Jingning cried for a long time. In order to divert her attention, I brought her here to see the two newborn babies.

Queen: "It's hard for this child."

Concubine Shu: "The Queen is kind-hearted. This is the princess's blessing."

.

Soon both children were one month old, but their names had not yet been decided.

The Empress Dowager had told the Emperor about this matter countless times, but the Emperor was still very troubled.

In the end, it was the Empress Dowager who made the final decision and chose two names from the several names chosen by the Emperor.

The little prince is named Xuan Jinghuai and the little princess is named Xuan Jingyue.

A banquet was held in the palace on the day of the full moon, and officials above the fifth rank were allowed to enter the palace with their families.

Jiang Rongxi was finally able to get out after being locked up for a month. Now everything he sees outside is new to him.

Inside the hall, hundreds of officials came to congratulate him, pouring out baskets of nice words.

The emperor was genuinely happy to hear this, and his smile hadn't faltered since the banquet began.

The two children were in the emperor's arms, one in the empress dowager's arms, and the other in the empress dowager's arms. Rong Xi was happy and peaceful, eating all the things he hadn't eaten this month.

Jiang Rongzhi was so angry looking at Rong Xi, who had not changed much from before she gave birth. She was married into the prince's mansion two months ago.

She didn't expect that the prince was not only licentious and immoral, but also violent.

The invisible parts of her body were now covered with bruises. This was all Jiang Rongxi's doing behind the scenes. Otherwise, if her father loved her so much, why would he marry her to a place like that?

Moreover, everything Jiang Rongxi has now should have been hers. If she hadn't wanted to marry in the first place, how could she have had this opportunity.

Jiang Rongxi instinctively looked towards Jiang Rongzhi.

She was very familiar with that look. If it happened in the end times, such a person would have only one ending, and that was to be shot in the head.

She didn't like the feeling of being stared at all the time, so under everyone's gaze, she walked straight to the queen, said something to her, and left with the little princess in her arms.

The queen showed some worry on her face, and finally sent the nanny beside her to leave with Rong Xi.

Sure enough, not long after Rong Xi left, Jiang Rongzhi followed.

"Empress Rong, this subject greets you."

"Why are you here when you're not waiting for your husband at the banquet?"

"I haven't seen Consort Rong for a long time. I missed her so much that I came to see the little princess and the little prince."

"Then follow me."

[Rong Xi, Jiang Rongzhi has been infected with syphilis by her husband. Don't let her come into contact with the child.]

When Jiang Rongxi heard the system's voice, he looked up at Jiang Rongzhi.

Jiang Rongzhi was a little scared, but when he thought about what he was going to do next, he became bolder.

"Empress Rong, is this a little princess or a little prince? He is so cute, can you please hold him?"

"cannot."

"Why?"

"Because the dead cannot move."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Rongzhi began to feel scared. She had seen this look in her eyes before, and it had given her nightmares for a long time.

"I just wanted to hug the little princess. If that's not possible, then forget it. I've been out for too long and I have to go back. I'll take my leave."

"Sister, don't leave in a hurry. We still have a lot to talk about." Rong Xi put the child directly in Qiuyue's hands and let them go into the inner room of the house.

"It's better for me to go back now. My husband should be looking for me."

"Don't worry, sister. I want to ask you to do something."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Rongzhi's voice was trembling. She obviously shouldn't be afraid, but Rongxi now looked like a ghost.

"Of course..." She picked up the handkerchief beside her and, before Jiang Rongzhi could react, she dragged him to the edge of the pond. "Please drown yourself in front of me."

"You..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was pushed in. It was the dead of winter and the water in the pool was icy cold, and it kept seeping into his mouth and nose.

“Help…Help…Help…”

Chunhua Qiuyue had never seen her queen like this before, and she hid inside in fear. Under the moonlight, Rong Xi, with her backlight, looked like a haunting ghost.

"Xier..." Rong Xi heard the voice and looked over, and saw that it was the emperor who had rushed over.

Rong Xi did not show any panic as if he had done something wrong, he just stared at the emperor steadily.

"You want to save her?" There was no emotion in his voice, as cold as a killing machine.

The emperor's heart trembled. He had never felt Rong Xi so strange. "Xi'er, be obedient and come here."

Rong Xi did not move, but was already observing the surroundings to see if there were any suitable weapons. If the emperor wanted to force her, she would blow the emperor's head off as quickly as possible.

The emperor obviously saw the murderous intent in her eyes. He didn't understand why Rong Xi, who was fine just now, became like this. Was it the woman in the pond who provoked her?

"I have no intention of saving her, but the little princess is crying in there. Did you hear her? She's looking for her mother."

Rong Xi's brows relaxed, and he seemed to be really listening to the movement inside with his ears perked up.

After hearing this, Qiuyue hurriedly snatched the toy from the little princess's hand. Sure enough, the effect worked, and the little princess's crying voice could be heard outside the palace.

"Look, I didn't lie to you. Come here, I'll take you to find my daughter."

Rong Xi really wanted to see why her little cat was crying. Looking at the woman who was about to sink in the pond, she still walked towards the emperor.

After she let down her guard, the emperor knocked her unconscious.

Rong Xi was not right tonight. Although she had always behaved abnormally in the past few months, it was never as disturbing as tonight.

If the Queen had not quietly told her what Rong Xi was going to do, he would not have rushed over so quickly.

Rong Xi in the system felt that since the effect of the intelligence-reducing pills was reduced, Rong Xi became more and more like her in the end times.

In order for her to complete the task smoothly, the system adjusted the efficacy of the medicine to the effect before giving birth.

When Rong Xi woke up the next day, he looked at the emperor with a worried look on his face and felt a little confused.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Seeing Rong Xi return to her innocent self, the emperor finally felt relieved.

"It's okay, I sent Jiang Rongzhi back."

The emperor's tone was tentative, fearing that Rong Xi would lose his temper again.

"Um."

Only when there was nothing unusual during the meeting did the emperor dare to carefully embrace the person in his arms.
