"Your Majesty, it seems this was just a false alarm, a misunderstanding. Let's just let it go!" the Empress said.
Feng Guche responded heavily, "Lord Cheng, do you think the Crown Princess needs to be punished?"
Lord Cheng's legs almost gave way, and he knelt on the ground, prostrating himself with his hands on the ground. "Your Majesty, I am terrified. I beg Your Majesty and the Crown Princess to forgive me."
Consort Rong was so nervous that she dared not look up at Feng Guche. She subconsciously turned her anxious gaze to Ji Luoyan, who gave her a faint look.
"Consort Rong has been aggressively condemning the Crown Princess and Prince Xiaoyao. Shouldn't she apologize to them as well?"
The Empress stood dignified and serene to the side, watching with an air of nobility and majesty befitting an empress, a presence that Consort Rong, with her mere beauty, could not match.
Everyone knew that Consort Rong's behavior just now had completely overstepped the bounds. Even the Empress hadn't said anything, and this consort was eager to convict Mu Chenshuang and Prince Xiaoyao.
However, she was favored by the emperor, and all the civil and military officials saw this but dared not say a word.
Consort Rong's face changed drastically, filled with fear. She hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I... I only thought that the Crown Princess might bring shame to the royal family, and that's why I was angry... I was only thinking of Your Majesty and the royal family. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Feng Guche bent down and helped her hands up, saying gently, "Alright, I know you didn't mean it. Get up."
Consort Rong's small face instantly relaxed, and she said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Feng Guche doted on her so much that even when Consort Rong made a mistake, he would not punish her.
"I see. It seems the Crown Princess is indeed not pregnant. I apologize to the Crown Princess for my behavior just now."
Jing Sha covered Mu Chen's hands with her hands, bowed, and expressed her apology.
"We accept our defeat wholeheartedly today."
Everyone's thoughts were once again drawn back to Mu Chenshuang's triumphant victory in the competition.
They then began to fawn over Mu Chenshuang, truly opportunistic civil and military officials.
"Alright, what reward does the Crown Princess wish for?"
Feng Guche was naturally pleased that Mu Chenshuang had won him glory.
Suddenly, Mu Chenshuang knelt down on one knee.
"Father, your daughter-in-law has only one request."
These words were spoken.
Feng Guche's face instantly darkened, as if he had sensed something. Feng Xilan did the same, staring intently at Mu Chenshuang with narrowed eyes, wondering what he was afraid of.
"Shuang'er, I understand. Let's discuss this further down here."
Today is his birthday, and he doesn't want things to go wrong.
Mu Chenshuang showed no intention of backing down.
"Your Majesty, I did not mean to spoil your mood, but I still want to say something."
"Today, I have seen through the Crown Prince completely. My marriage was just me being delusional and deceiving myself. I didn't know that His Highness was in love with someone else. I stole someone else's love, which is why His Highness hates me so much."
He has even repeatedly harmed my wife, and now he completely ignores her. All of this demonstrates the Crown Prince's disgust for her. Without any trust between husband and wife, there is no point in continuing the marriage. Therefore, I, his wife, am willing to divorce him.
Mu Chenshuang's calm, almost deathly tone revealed everything, her eyes filled with loss and sorrow.
Everyone held their breath, not expecting that Mu Chenshuang actually wanted a divorce, and it wasn't because of her infidelity.
Back then, Princess Weiyang, whose beauty was unparalleled, captivated countless hearts. She and General Shen Nanzhi were a couple praised as a match made in heaven.
It's truly lamentable that he's ended up like this, despised by the Crown Prince.
"Father, I also need to explain something: why did I take the Crown Princess's pulse?" Feng Ji suddenly spoke up.
This statement aroused everyone's curiosity.
yes!
Why did the Carefree Prince suddenly take Mu Chenshuang's pulse?
His words caused Feng Xilan and Xiao Qingyu's expressions to change drastically, especially Xiao Qingyu. The extreme ups and downs in her emotions made her feel suffocated, as if she couldn't breathe properly.
