Mingyue is just a woman, how could she be an assassin? If you want to target Bingyan, you don't have to do that."

Gu Yunru's face immediately fell and her eyes turned red, but she was still determined to ask Mingyue to go into the house and take off her clothes so that everyone could see clearly.

Seeing that she was being so unreasonable, Rong Zhen touched her face and slapped her. Everyone saw it and their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

"Your Highness..." Xie Bingyan watched it clearly from the side and immediately forgot what she was going to say. She didn't expect Rong Zhen to slap the princess in the face in front of so many people. How could Gu Yunru hold her head up in the future?

Everyone took a deep breath. Qingfeng supported her and looked at her shaky body with pity in his eyes.

But Qingshuang caught the heartache in Qingfeng's eyes at this moment. She had never seen such a look before. Perhaps he would only show his manly tenderness when facing the princess.

"Take the princess back. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of Ginkgo Garden!"

Rong Zhen's words were cold and stern, and Xie Bingyan was also caught off guard by this scene, but looking at the prince's determined eyes, she felt relieved.

She helped the prince back to the house, and seeing that he was still furious, she patted his chest and offered him some tea. "Prince, you must take care of yourself, and don't get angry because of my sister's nonsense."

"Don't worry, I won't give up just because of a woman..." Before he finished speaking, he vomited blood again. Rong Zhen lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. Xie Bingyan called Mingyue to help him sit back on the bed and immediately said, "I will go and ask Doctor Hu to come here right away."

Mingyue left in a hurry. Rong Zhen held Xie Bingyan's hand and tried to calm her panic. "It's okay, the king is fine."

"Your Highness, you are fine even in this state. It's all my fault. How could I embarrass you in front of so many people?" Xie Bingyan said all kinds of bad things about Gu Yunru in front of Rong Zhen. Now looking at the situation, Gu Yunru has long fallen out of favor in his eyes, so it is not wrong to step on her a few more times.

"The princess always does things in a ridiculous way, so you must not take it to heart." Rong Zhen patted her hands. At this critical juncture, the prince was still wholeheartedly on her side. Xie Bingyan felt a warm current in her heart. It seemed that she had wrongly blamed him for what happened before.

Doctor Hu walked in at this time. Xie Bingyan hurriedly stood up and said, "Doctor Hu, please go and see the prince. He just vomited blood again." She hurriedly pushed Doctor Hu forward. Doctor Hu stroked the goatee on his chin, walked to Rong Zhen's side, and observed his pulse and heartbeat.

"Imperial Physician, how is the prince?" Xie Bingyan asked with an uneasy look on her face. She wished she could take the pulse for Imperial Physician Hu. If only she could know a few tricks like her sister, she wouldn't be so panicked.

"The prince is fine now, he just suffered some internal injuries, he will be fine after a few days of rest."

"That's good. Thank you, doctor." Xie Bingyan said sincerely. She asked Mingyue to send Doctor Hu out, turned around and sat next to Rong Zhen again. She looked at him with a piece of gauze covering his eye sockets, and lowered her eyelids with a heartbroken look on her face.

On the other side, Qingxing and Qingfeng were walking back and forth, looking at Gu Yunru who was in deep thought.

Qingshuang took out the ice gauze and prepared to apply it on Gu Yunru's red and swollen face, but was rejected by Gu Yunru.

"This is the first time he hit me, so of course I want to record it." Qingshuang frowned, not knowing what the princess meant. Did she have to remember it since it was the first time the prince hit me?

"Qingshuang, let's go back first." Qingfeng held the sword in his arms, looked at Qingshuang, and the couple left first.

Seeing the two people walking away, Qing Xing closed the door, walked to Gu Yunru's side and said, "Princess, is your face okay? But the scene just now really scared me. If you don't know, you might think that the prince is acting real."

"Even if we have to pretend to be real, we have to make it real, otherwise how can Xie Bingyan believe it? Now that the prince trusts Xie Bingyan wholeheartedly, I believe she will not do it again.

Now we just need to follow the arrangements of the prince and the emperor. The Queen Mother’s birthday will be coming soon, so we must make a big fuss about it again.”

"Um."

The next day, Xie Bingyan came to a teahouse wearing a snow-white cloak. This teahouse was also opened by Xie Changyong. When she saw her younger sister coming, she quickly lifted the bead curtain with one hand and brought her into the house. Mingyue and others were guarding at the door, and the two had a secret conversation.

"I heard that the emperor also went to see Prince Zhao. How is he doing now?"

Xie Bingyan's eyes wandered for a moment, and she quickly said, "The situation is not good now. The prince is no longer a threat to us. What does father mean?"

"Father's intention is to kill them all. If Rong Zhen stays in the city, those people won't be able to come in."

Xie Changyong's words frightened Xie Bingyan. She sat on the side anxiously, her face gradually turning pale. "Little sister, you can't be soft-hearted now. We have succeeded in the first step. You have to do the next step."

"Do I really have to do this? But the prince is very kind to me and trusts me very much."

Xie Bingyan was a little hesitant, thinking of what Rong Zhen had said to her, that he would trust her without reservation and would do his best to protect her. She kept these words in her heart and would never dare to forget them.

Xie Changyong looked at the confused Xie Bingyan, walked up to her, and shook her shoulders fiercely, "Have you forgotten why your father asked you to stay with Rong Zhen?

I don't mean to make you develop romantic feelings for him."

Xie Bingyan's mind flashed with lightning, and she quickly brushed away his hand, turned around and took off her hat, looking ahead with an erratic look. When she thought of his every move, every frown and smile, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Perhaps she was really attracted to him...

"Little sister, don't tell your second brother that you really have feelings for him."

"Second brother, please give Bingyan some more time."

Looking at the aggressive Xie Changyong, Xie Bingyan was helpless. She knew that all this was her father's intention, but now she was already a high and mighty concubine. She had experienced all the good and the bad, and she didn't want to take human life lightly.

"Sister, I'm not forcing you, but time is running out. A war is about to break out in Kyoto. If Rong Zhen doesn't die, our chances of winning will be zero."
