It was a hazy night as two groups of people were fighting in the mountains. Several people had fallen in the flash of swords and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Xia Yuning bit her lip to defend herself, but her words sounded pale and powerless to Princess Rong.
"Xia Yuning, please stop talking. This princess saw everything that happened just now clearly."
"You pushed Princess Rong out to block the knife without hesitation, giving yourself a chance to survive."
"Princess Rong has truly raised an ungrateful person."
Bai Zhi spoke softly and smiled sweetly, but her words made Princess Rong feel cold in her heart.
This is the good daughter she raised!
She raised her daughter for fourteen years!
Princess Rong became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She raised her hand and slapped Xia Yuning in the face.
The sound of "pop" was so crisp and loud that it seemed particularly abrupt in the mountains.
Xia Yuning covered her swollen face with her hands, tears streaming down her face in grievance.
"Mother, please forgive me. I was just too scared! Those people are worse than animals! They, they... "
Xia Yuning became more and more sad as she spoke, and the grievance and anger in her heart turned into crystal tears that rolled down her face.
After a while, the prince arrived with a group of people. With a wave of his hand, the guards joined the battle.
The situation on the battle was suddenly overturned. Most of the gang members were killed, leaving only the three leaders.
Prince Rong was so distressed that he could hardly bear it, but he had also seen what Xia Yuning had done just now, so he did not stop Princess Rong.
But when he heard her unfinished words, Prince Rong's face changed drastically. He turned around and walked towards the three men surrounded in the pavilion with a big knife.
"Hahaha, the girls from Prince Rong's Mansion are indeed delicate and exquisite! They are much more tender and fresh than the women in our own country!"
The owner of Duobao Tower was about to die but still wanted to talk nonsense. This irritated Prince Rong so much that he stabbed him several times with a knife.
The prince also heard what Xia Yuning said just now, and he stood there in a daze for a long time without moving.
His fingertips trembled, curling up slightly.
After the battle, all the spies from Yunli Kingdom were captured, and Prince Rong and his entourage were preparing to return home.
When Xia Yuning turned around, she met the prince's eyes, which were as calm as water. Her heart skipped a beat and she wanted to step forward and explain what had happened to her.
But the prince subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Now that the matter here is settled and cousin Yu Ning is safe, I will return to the palace first." After saying this, he mounted his red-maned horse, pulled the reins, and left without looking back.
Xia Yuning's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.
It's ruined, everything is ruined.
However, Princess Rong still had some resentment towards Xia Yuning, and was unwilling to hold her hand when getting into the carriage.
Bai Zhirou saw everything and smiled sarcastically.
The prince returned to the palace and told the queen everything. When the queen heard that Xia Yuning had been insulted by the villain and lost her innocence, she decisively proposed to give up the plan of making Xia Yuning the prince's concubine.
The prince remained silent.
He knew that none of this was Xia Yuning's fault, she was also a victim, but the thought of her losing her innocence made him feel uncomfortable.
His women should all be pure and flawless.
He really didn't want to marry a woman like Xia Yuning.
The next morning, the queen told the emperor about this matter, but was opposed by the emperor.
"My words are as good as gold. Once I say something, I can't take it back. You want me to break off the engagement? How will people in the world look at me?" The emperor scolded the queen.
The marriage went on as planned.
But the queen and her son felt extremely uncomfortable.
Even if Concubine Guo came to congratulate her, she felt that she was using this matter to humiliate her.
The news that Xia Yuning was rescued spread throughout the capital.
A woman who has been kidnapped by criminals for so many days, if she says she is innocent, she is lying to children.
Xia Yuning locked herself in the room and cried all day long.
Princess Rong did not comfort her as usual. She did feel some resentment in her heart.
She was still brooding over the fact that Xia Yuning pushed her out, and she was afraid she would never forget it.
That cold yet decisive, fierce and resolute look deeply hurt her heart!
She never imagined that the daughter she had personally taught would stab her in the back!
Princess Rong was so angry that she fell ill with a high fever that wouldn't go away.
Concubine Li came to take care of the patient on her own initiative. She was pregnant and busy taking care of Princess Rong, which made Prince Rong feel very distressed.
The servant brought the medicine over. Concubine Li took it, scooped a spoonful, put it to her lips, blew on it a few times, and then slowly fed it to Princess Rong.
The unconscious Princess Rong was unable to drink the medicine. The inky medicine flowed down the corners of her lips and soaked her clothes.
Concubine Li wiped it off carefully again, her movements gentle and careful.
"Thank you for your hard work. Actually, you don't have to feed the medicine yourself." Prince Rong's voice sounded behind Concubine Li.
She turned her head in surprise and met Prince Rong's tender eyes. Her heart suddenly became hot.
"It's nothing. My sister is ill, so naturally, as her younger sister, I have to take care of her. But you, Your Highness, are very busy with official duties, so please remember to rest well."
Concubine Li blinked her big watery eyes and said.
Prince Rong reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed her forehead. Concubine Li had a shy look on her face like a little girl, with two blushes on her cheeks.
Princess Rong was just drowsy and there was a noise in her ears. When she noticed the movement of the two people, she woke up completely!
"You vixen, you took advantage of me being sick and did this kind of thing by my bedside. You are so shameless!" Princess Rong was furious and reached out to push Concubine Li.
This push caused Concubine Li to stagger. If Prince Rong hadn't held her, she would have probably fallen to the ground.
Prince Rong stood up, holding Concubine Li in his arms, and said to Princess Rong angrily, "Why are you going crazy just after waking up? This prince and Xiangxiang are not as dirty as you think! Ever since you fell ill, Xiangxiang has come to serve you personally. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Prince Rong's explanation not only failed to calm Princess Rong, but made her even angrier. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted again.
Concubine Li cried in grievance, but when she saw Princess Rong fainted, she grabbed Prince Rong's clothes in fear.
Prince Rong had no choice but to ask his servants to call a doctor.
"I am here. You are still pregnant, so go back and rest." Prince Rong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and ordered people to send Concubine Li back.
When she met Xia Yifeng coming towards her on the road, she bowed slightly in greeting.
Xia Yifeng walked away with a cold face. He never took Concubine Li seriously.
She's just a concubine after all, what's there for him to pay attention to?
A trace of anger flashed in Concubine Li's lowered eyes. She snorted coldly and returned to the yard with her servants.
