Chapter 53: Exposing the Couple

This late night in the Hunting Palace was filled with an unsettling atmosphere.

The strong evening breeze makes people feel confused and helpless. In front of Weiyuan Hou's tent, everyone is waiting anxiously.

In this way, everyone spent a cup of tea in silence.

The tent door opened, and the imperial physician hurried out, his face filled with excitement. "The bleeding has stopped! The bleeding has stopped! Your Majesty! The Marquis has now survived the most dangerous period..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy atmosphere suddenly dissipated.

Concubine Shu folded her hands together and said: "Amitabha, may Buddha bless you... Rong Ge'er survived this disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future!" The emperor also breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally did not disappoint Princess Rongyang's last trust.

On the other side, the Imperial Physician walked up to Xu Rongrong and bowed deeply. "Before, I was ignorant and only knew how to memorize the knowledge in books. I almost missed a good opportunity. Fortunately, the County Master acted decisively and prevented a disaster."

His words served as a reminder to everyone.

If Xu Rongrong had not guaranteed her life just now, no one would have dared to use this Xuejiecao that even the imperial physician could not identify.

Xu Rongrong quickly returned the greeting. This was merely a temporary solution; she had no intention of drawing attention to herself. So, she said modestly, "If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Physician was a skilled doctor with the ability to bring the dead back to life, I wouldn't have dared to act rashly."

The imperial physician ordered Lian Dao not to dare.

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "If I were to ask you, I think the name your father gave Sister Rong is better. ***An***An, doesn't it mean everything is ***An?" Upon hearing this, the Queen knocked her on the head and said, "You are the one who talks too much. Later, ask your father to give you the nickname of "Chatterbox."

"Your Majesty, you always make fun of me." The Crown Princess smiled and hid behind the Crown Prince. She glanced at the Second Prince and put away her smile. "Luckily, your Majesty and your Majesty knew what was going on. If they had just been like others, scolding Rong Jie'er and delaying the medication, I wonder what would have happened to Rong Jie'er now."

The second prince looked embarrassed. He had indeed been a bit too aggressive just now.

The family of Chang Xinghou was either deposed or sentenced to death, so he had some resentment towards Xu Rongrong, and he was just taking advantage of the situation.

As a result, not only was she fine, but she also gained face in front of her father.

Seeing the Second Prince bowing his head and remaining silent, Concubine Shu quickly came over to smooth things over: "Look at what the Crown Princess said, everyone is just worried about Rong Ge'er."

After saying this, she advised the emperor, "Since Rong'er's bleeding has stopped, it would be good if the imperial physician stayed here. Your Majesty and the Empress have been working hard for most of the night. I have already ordered snacks to be prepared. Let's go to the tent and rest for a while."

The emperor nodded when he heard this, and a surge of energy supported him because of his worry.

Now that I know Mu Rong has passed the critical period, I feel really tired and exhausted.

When a group of people entered the tent, Lin Jiaoyue was still kneeling there.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes and her face was pale, making her look very pitiful.

When the Fourth Prince looked back, he saw her helpless expression, but he knew that his father was still angry and it was not a good time to plead for her.

But Xu Rongrong didn't think so. She saw all the eye contact between Lin Jiaoyue and Wu Tianqi.

Thinking of the schemes they had made in their past and present lives, she felt an inexplicable surge of anger in her heart.

Just one foot she had a late-night tryst with Mu Rong under the banyan tree, and the next moment she was exchanging glances with Wu Tianqi. Does she really think that everyone in the world can be used by her?

Then tonight, I will lend her to myself!

When the emperor asked questions just now, Lin Jiaoyue was vague in her answers.

Presumably, she would never get involved with Mu Rong for no reason. If she took this opportunity to expose this couple, wouldn't it be the best time to cancel her engagement with Mu Rong?

Thinking of Mu Rong who was still in a coma... Xu Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then...

Live it!

Not to be missed!

After making up her mind, she coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Qingyang is still kneeling outside. It's getting dark and the dew is heavy now. I'm afraid it will harm her health."

After she mentioned it, the emperor remembered this person. He frowned and said, "Let her come in and kneel!" Lin Jiaoyue moved in. She knelt sadly in the tent. The gazes from all around made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Mu Qianyin felt a little sorry. After all, they were close friends who had known each other for many years. "Father, let Jiaojiao get up and answer."

Xu Rongrong also tried to persuade him, "Princess Qingyang is a member of the royal family. If she continues to kneel, it will only embarrass her. After all, the matter is still unclear, and perhaps she really doesn't know anything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaoyue suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Rongrong, thinking that something was wrong!

Xu Rongrong's words seemed to be a plea, but in fact they were reminding the emperor to continue to find out the truth of the matter.

As expected, the emperor glared at Eunuch Yao and said, "Why are you still standing there? Tell Rong Ge'er's chief secretary and deputy general to come in! I've said before, I have plenty of time to hear the truth!"

Soon, Mu Yi and Mu Ai walked in with their heads lowered, led by Eunuch Yao.

"Tell me! What's your master's business? Why would he go so far away from the camp so late at night?"

After Mu Yi and Mu Ai looked at each other, they gritted their teeth and told the whole story of how the princess brought the soup over and how the marquis went looking for her after seeing it.

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

The female members of the family all looked at Lin Jiaoyue in shock: She actually has such ambiguous feelings towards Rong Ge'er?

The fourth prince lowered his head, secretly angry in his heart: Idiot!

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Lin Zhihen has truly raised a good daughter! I previously thought you were both virtuous and virtuous, so I made you the only princess of the opposite sex in the Great Zhou Dynasty! Is this how you repay me?" The emperor pointed at Lin Jiaoyue, shaking with anger. "It was you who provoked Rong Ge'er, yet in the end you put the blame on him. Are you sure he's going to die, so you're just throwing mud at him?"

Lin Jiaoyue was speechless at this point, and she quickly knelt and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down! I have no intention of hiding anything, but... I offended the Marquis before, and today I simply want to make amends. It's just a bowl of soup, nothing more! As for what the Marquis wanted to say to me, I truly don't know!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a muffled "bang" sound came from the side.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Xu Rongrong was almost unable to stand and seemed to be about to faint in an instant.

Mu Qianyin, who was standing by, quickly helped her steady herself: "Don't worry, Rong Jie'er. Maybe she's just talking nonsense!"

The Crown Princess looked like she was watching a play: Does Princess Qingyang really think everyone else is stupid? Why can't she apologize? Why did she have to secretly send soup... Looking at her like this, it's probably not the first time. The emperor has arranged a marriage for Rong Ge'er, isn't she slapping him in the face by being so secretive? Look at Rong Jie'er, how fragile she is, I'm afraid she must be heartbroken.

As expected, Xu Rongrong's face was filled with heartbreak. She rubbed her eyes until they turned red, and looked at the Emperor and Empress with tears in her eyes: "So behind tonight's events, there is actually a pair of infatuated men and women. In this case... I know I am not worthy of the Marquis. I beg Your Majesty and the Empress to revoke the marriage decree and return the Marquis to his freedom."
