When Luo Chuan arrived, he saw Rong Yang in the Crown Prince's arms, crying so hard she could barely breathe, looking very pitiful.
A feeling of compassion welled up within him. He couldn't bear to disturb them, and when he met the cold, murderous gazes of the Crown Prince and Rong Ning, he dared not move. He could only wait quietly from a distance.
Everyone was waiting for Rong Yang to finish crying.
She cried for a long time…
Slurping and stifling...
My head is spinning...
Lifting his head from Rong Sheng's embrace, he saw the imperial guards surrounding him and felt uneasy. "Brother...they...Father..."
"Don't worry... Big Brother and A Ning will handle it. You go back to Zhaoqing Palace first, and we'll be back in a bit, okay?"
Rong Yang shook his head, "Big brother, I'll go with you to see Father."
“There’s no need… You’ll just get scolded anyway,” Rong Sheng said, gently wiping away her tears. “Going there will only cause you more trouble. Listen to me, go back to the palace.”
Rong Sheng raised his hand and ordered, "You Jiang, escort Princess Zhaoqing back to the palace."
You Jiang is a woman who always stays by Rong Sheng's side. She is highly skilled in martial arts and only obeys Rong Sheng's orders.
Therefore, Rong Yang was being led around by the reins.
The princess wailing in her brother's arms outside was against the rules and also inconsistent with Rong Yang's dignified and composed image.
Rong Sheng glanced at everyone present and said coldly, "No one is allowed to gossip about what happened today, or I will make you wish you were dead."
Every word he uttered reached everyone's ears; the Crown Prince's imposing presence made them afraid to raise their heads.
Luo Chuan stood there with his lips pursed. Only after Rong Yang had disappeared from sight did he step forward and say politely, "Your Majesty has ordered me to request that His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Ningding go to the Taiji Palace."
Rong Sheng pursed his lips into a thin line, raised his hand, and indicated that he understood.
From the moment Rong Ning sent him the message to the moment she returned to Nanyang City without a trace, their father received not a single word from her.
To prevent his return, the emperor deliberately suppressed the news, so Rong Sheng's presence here now can be considered disobeying the imperial decree.
Such a serious crime, how it is ultimately judged depends entirely on the emperor's decision.
But none of that matters anymore. What's done is done, and we've already returned. We'll just have to bear the emperor's wrath.
Perhaps because the crown prince had returned suddenly, the emperor did not summon his ministers, and the palace was empty.
The brother and sister paused for a moment, glanced at each other, and then walked into the Taiji Hall one after the other, kneeling down to pay their respects.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
The people in high positions didn't immediately tell them to get up.
He stared intently at Rong Ning and asked in a cold voice, "A-Ning...was it you who delivered the message to the Crown Prince?"
"Your Majesty, it was I who took it upon myself to send the Crown Prince back to Nanyang City. Please forgive me!" Rong Ning admitted without saying anything else.
His attitude was very sincere, but it made the emperor so angry that his chest heaved violently…
"Okay...okay...okay..."
"They've grown wings!"
"How dare you disobey me!"
Enraged, he grabbed an inkstone from the table and smashed it against her, shouting, "Rong Ning, you've been secretly plotting against me! How dare you!!"
