After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

The matter could not be reversed. Prince Rui was not moved at all and was determined to go with him, otherwise he would hurt his sweetheart's heart. Qiao Rongjin cursed these two crazy men and women again in his heart.

Now that she had to go, she had to get rid of her worries.

After Qiao Rongjin figured it out, she calmed down and became the woman who loved the prince. When she heard the prince's words, her eyes were red and she said, "Why does the prince miss me so much? Doesn't the prince know how much I love you? Yes, I am very afraid of death. No one is not afraid of death, but I believe that the prince will never let me get hurt. I said those things just now because I was worried about leaving Qi You alone in the palace. I was worried. Qi You is still so young. What will happen without me?"

After saying this, Qiao Rongjin sincerely shed tears.

She was really worried about Qi You and she really treated him as her son. He had been with her all these days and she had long regarded him as her own and had developed feelings for him.

This time she was accompanying Prince Rui to provide disaster relief, and she didn't know how long she would be gone. How could she feel at ease knowing Qi You was alone in the palace?

Hearing what Qiao Rongjin said and seeing her worried and crying, Prince Rui's eyes flickered for a moment, then he turned his head away uncomfortably and said without thinking, "Why not send him to the princess and let her take care of him?"

"No!" Qiao Rongjin refused directly.

She was also worried about the princess. Otherwise, how did Qi You have a high fever last time? It took a while for the fever to be discovered. The princess would never pay attention to outsiders.

Prince Rui was dazed for a moment when he saw how beautiful Qiao was even when she was crying. Her eyes were looking straight at him, and her expression was stubborn and firm. Prince Rui's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, and he subconsciously asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin thought to himself, you finally asked this question. Keeping the expression just now, Qiao Rongjin tried to ask, "Send Qi You to the palace and let the Concubine Xian take care of him, okay, Your Majesty?"

She did this out of selfish motives, as she didn't know how long she and Prince Rui would be gone, and it was safest to leave Qi You with Concubine Xian. It would be best if she could develop some grandparent-grandchild relationship with Concubine Xian, as this would be of great help to Qi You's future.

Prince Rui frowned slightly when he heard this. His mother did not like noisy children very much. Among his children, only Crown Prince Qi Shao and Zhao Er could get his mother's favor, but that was all.

Is Qi You's personality really compatible with his mother? He is impatient to talk to his father. Neither of them is a talkative person. If they were to have a meal together, the scene would make King Rui feel a little suffocated.

When Qiao Rongjin saw that Prince Rui was thinking seriously, he felt relieved and thought there was a chance.

Sure enough, the next second, King Rui said, "Okay, I will send Xiaowu to the palace tomorrow morning."

Although my mother is strict with me, she will always respond to my requests. I will send Xiaowu to the palace for her to take care of him, and she will not refuse.

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin finally smiled and thanked Prince Rui sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Hmph." Prince Rui snorted coldly, said nothing, and took a sip of the tea that had already gone cold.

The two of them just stopped talking.

At this hour, it was already dark. Qiao Rongjin wondered why Prince Rui hadn't left yet. Later she would have to tell her son about following him to take care of Prince Rui. If it was any later, her son would be asleep, but she couldn't chase him away.

She was so bored that she could only take a sip of the cold tea, looking at Prince Rui, watching him drink the tea slowly.

Prince Rui was tense all over. He had sensed that Mrs. Qiao's eyes were lingering on him. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He actually wanted to wait for Mrs. Qiao to keep him, but Mrs. Qiao looked at him for a long time and didn't say anything.

For a moment, the atmosphere gradually became strange.

Wang Fuyang and Qinglian were almost suffocating. They tried hard to reduce their presence. They didn't understand what their master meant.

Finally, seeing Prince Rui drinking two cups of tea in succession, Qiao Rongjin couldn't help it.

"Your Highness, you tonight..." Qiao Rongjin was about to speak when he saw Prince Rui stand up instantly.

Qiao Rongjin paused for a moment and looked at Prince Rui in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui became unusually nervous and didn't dare to look at Qiao Rongjin.

Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin suddenly realized and stood up and said, "My Lord, you are going to Sister Chen's place tonight, right? Then I will not keep you here. Please go."

After saying this, Qiao Rongjin tried hard to show that he was reluctant but respected King Rui's decision.

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui's breath turned cold. He looked at Qiao, who had a look of reluctance on her face but pretended to be magnanimous, and said coldly, "Who said that I was going to Chen's place? Don't speculate on my thoughts without authorization. I will stay tonight."

After saying the last sentence, King Rui felt his heart beating wildly.

The secret thoughts that he had kept in his heart for some time were finally exposed at this moment. He admitted that Qiao had indeed attracted him during this period.

He thought about it. He was a prince. Why should he endure if he wanted a woman? All the women in the backyard belonged to him. Although there were good memories of him and Chen in Haitang Courtyard, he couldn't stop favoring Qiao for this reason. It was unfair to Qiao. This was how he explained to himself.

Qiao Rongjin was stunned, her mouth opened, her eyes widened, and she was speechless for a moment.

Qinglian and Wang Fuyang were also surprised.

Qinglian reacted and a smile instantly appeared on her face. Her master was finally getting his reward after all the suffering!

Seeing how shocked Mrs. Qiao was, Prince Rui curled his lips slightly and waited for her reaction.

I guess she will be very happy, right?

Qiao Rongjin finally came back to his senses, and when he saw that Prince Rui was still looking at him, he was suddenly overwhelmed.

What's wrong with King Rui? The heroine has just recovered from a serious illness. What's the point of not visiting her, being affectionate with her, and resting at her place?

To be honest, after Qiao Rongjin transmigrated into this book, she had thought that she might have to face this one day, and she was indeed mentally prepared. After all, she was not a little girl who knew nothing, and she had a boyfriend before. However, she still held the attitude of delaying it for a day, after all, Prince Rui was still a familiar stranger to her.

Qiao Rongjin did not forget her character, so after being appropriately shy for a while, she said worriedly, "But Sister Chen is not well yet. Will she be angry if you don't go to visit her? Although I really want the prince to stay, the prince loves Sister Chen and should put Sister Chen first. I'm fine."

I've said this, you don't want to stay.

Prince Rui was choked when he heard this. When he thought about the possibility that Ayun would be angry, he didn't think so. Ayun wouldn't care which girl's room he went to rest in. She didn't care about him as much as he cared about her. Qiao was completely overthinking it.

"She won't. This king will rest here tonight. No need to say anything more."
