Chapter 134: Substitutes
Every time she called him like this, he would look over, tenderness flashing in his eyes. Even if he was angry in his heart, he would endure it.
But now, Emperor Rongcheng looked at her with a cold face and indifference.
"Shut up! As a concubine, it's unbecoming for you to speak so timidly."
"Besides, as the queen, she is naturally fair and just. How could she frame you? I think it's you who is confusing right and wrong.
I'm afraid there's something hidden behind what happened today. Kneel here now, and I'll immediately send someone to investigate."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xianhao again.
In an instant, the stern look on his face was replaced by tenderness.
"I was worried that she would be an eyesore to you, so I wanted her to leave.
Now that you suspect her, I will send someone to investigate thoroughly before letting her go, how about that? "
Emperor Rong Cheng carefully held Jiang Xianhao's hand as he spoke, fearing that she would be unhappy.
Jiang Xianhao pulled her hand back from his hand upon hearing that, but her eyes seemed to be hooked as she looked at him arrogantly, then snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, please don't accuse me casually.
These are clearly your own thoughts and have nothing to do with me. Don't let your beloved Imperial Concubine bear a grudge against you."
The way Emperor Rongcheng looked at her, his heart melted, and he no longer cared about Concubine Hui. He immediately said,
"You know, you are the only one in my heart, so please don't say anything nonsense."
“Besides, how dare she hold a grudge against you.
If you hadn't ignored me all these years, why would I have asked her to replace you?
She can't thank you enough!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao snorted again and punched him in the chest.
"After not seeing you for so many years, Your Majesty has become more and more talkative, and can even make up lies like this.
What? Do you think I, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, can believe these words? "
Emperor Rongcheng was so overjoyed by this punch that he seemed to have softened a little. He wished he could fall on Jiang Xianhao right now.
The people present had never seen Emperor Rongcheng in such a state before, and they were all shocked.
Especially Shen Hechuan.
In his impression.
The image of the mother is indifferent.
Even if he fell in front of her, she wouldn't even frown, but would say something to him coldly instead.
“If you fall, get up on your own. No one will always be there to support you except yourself.”
But Emperor Rongcheng was strict with him.
There was a hint of disgust in his harshness.
The fatherly and motherly love that Prince Rui had enjoyed since childhood was something he had never experienced before.
But he never expected that Jiang Xianhao and Emperor Rong Cheng would be like this.
If he had known that Emperor Rongcheng would listen to his mother so much, why would he have struggled to maintain it all these years?
Just let his mother come and whisper in Emperor Rongcheng's ear, wouldn't everything be solved?
Even the "pig-headed" Luo Ziqian who was kneeling beside him couldn't help but look up.
The eye, which was so swollen that only a slit could be seen, still looked at Shen Hechuan.
Although they didn't speak, they could see each other's words in each other's eyes.
Luo Ziqian: "You have such a powerful mother, why are you still busying yourself? Why not just lie down?"
Chen Hechuan: “Get lost!”
Concubine Hui knelt on the ground and felt her heart sinking.
In her eyes, Emperor Rongcheng doted on her very much.
She is the only one who is respected in the entire harem.
As for this inconspicuous queen, she never took her seriously.
Even when she went to Jingyu Palace last time and was scolded by Emperor Rongcheng when she came back, she didn't think much about it. She just felt that Emperor Rongcheng attached great importance to rules.
In his opinion, even if Emperor Rongcheng still had some feelings for Jiang Xianhao, it was not much.
After all, if the hurt was deep, how could he have ignored her for so many years?
However, she never expected that he would be like this in front of Jiang Xianhao.
Moreover, when she heard the word "replacement" from Emperor Rongcheng's mouth, she felt a pain in her heart and her whole body began to tremble.
So that’s it, so that’s it!
It turns out that she is the joke in this palace.
Concubine Hui looked at the way Emperor Rongcheng looked at Jiang Xianhao, and she also understood why he had looked at her in a daze from time to time over the years.
Soon, Emperor Rongcheng led Jiang Xianhao to sit next to him, truly highlighting Jiang Xianhao's status as queen.
Emperor Rongcheng has ordered people to investigate the bride kidnapping incident, but it will take time.
So at this moment, it became that Emperor Rong Cheng was unilaterally looking at Jiang Xianhao with longing eyes, and kept making small talk with Jiang Xian.
As time passed, Emperor Rongcheng saw that Jiang Xianhao's face had become paler and even sweat had appeared on his forehead. Then he frowned and looked at Dexi.
"Hasn't it been found out yet?"
Dexi explained with his head down.
"After all, the incident happened outside the palace. Going back and forth takes time. Plus, we have to investigate and find the person, so it will probably take even longer."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng looked at Jiang Xianhao again.
"Are you feeling unwell too? It's still early, why don't you go inside and rest for a while?"
Jiang Xianhao originally wanted to shake his head, but now he was really uncomfortable, so he simply nodded and was led to the inner room by Dexi.
After she got inside and made sure that Emperor Rongcheng could not hear any sound, she could no longer bear it and leaned weakly on the bed.
Seeing that she looked distressed, Dexi couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you want to call a royal physician for you?"
Jiang Xianhao shook his head, then, unable to hold back any longer, he opened his mouth and instantly vomited everything in his stomach.
Dexi was frightened and hurried forward to support Jiang Xianhao.
"My lady, what's wrong with you? Please sit down quickly. I will go and get you a doctor."
Dexi said this and was about to tell Emperor Rongcheng.
Jiang Xianhao grabbed him and shook his head.
"Don't tell His Majesty, I'm not in good health, it's an old illness.
If you tell him again, he will worry again."
"I'm fine. Just prepare some water for me. I'll wash myself and change my clothes."
Seeing that Jiang Xianhao insisted, Dexi gave up the idea of reporting to Emperor Rongcheng and began to obediently prepare water for Jiang Xianhao.
Time was running out and I couldn't take a shower at all.
Jiang Xianhao immersed his hands in water and washed them repeatedly, inside and out, until his hands were rubbed red, and then he stopped.
Just then, someone came hurriedly to report from outside.
Seeing this, Dexi went out immediately.
A moment later, Dexi came back in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, a report just came from the palace gate that a woman holding the prince's jade pendant is kneeling at the palace gate and wants to see you.
She also said that she was kidnapped by Prince Rui for no reason and hoped that His Majesty would make a decision for her.
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan looked up at Dexi in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
