Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Mother, you may not like the Crown Princess, but you cannot show it. She will still be your support in the future," Wen An said.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li waved her hand and said, "No need to say more."

Wen An sat with Concubine Li for a while, then stood up and left.

Ping'er squatted beside Concubine Li and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is right. There are more than ten concubines in the harem, but you are the only one who is special because of the Crown Prince."

"If someone else had such a connection, they would have protected you long ago," Ping'er said. "Let's move on. The Ruan family is still the Ruan family. To put it bluntly, they're not that close to you."

After all, seeing that Lord Ruan didn't show any reaction, maybe he had accepted defeat.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li nodded subconsciously, but the scene of Ruan Liuzheng lying in front of her with blood all over her head appeared in front of her eyes again.

"I feel uncomfortable. I'm going to go back and lie down for a while." Concubine Li waved her hand weakly.

Besides, after Xiao Jingheng and Gu Qinghe left the palace, they still rode in the same carriage to the East Palace.

"Qinghe, mother shouldn't be here today. If you have any ideas, you can tell me." Xiao Jingheng said.

The Crown Princess knew that Concubine Li did not suffer from any migraine, so she, as her son, must know it even better, and she had witnessed it several times.

Gu Qinghe shook his head upon hearing this. "Your Highness, don't worry about this. These are all common practices in the backyard. I don't have any thoughts on them. I just think it's normal."

Xiao Jingheng looked at Gu Qinghe, "It's just an ordinary thing, not something that should happen. You and I are husband and wife, and we just got married last night. If you have anything to say, you should tell me."

"Yes, I haven't forgotten, but there is really nothing I want to say at the moment." Gu Qinghe nodded.

"Okay." Xiao Jingheng said.

Han Desheng came out of Yufu Palace and hurried to catch up with the carriage of the East Palace.

After calming his breathing, he glanced at the outer wall of the carriage, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, I'm back. Concubine Li said that if you have time tomorrow, you can go visit her."

Xiao Jingheng frowned when he heard this. Didn’t his mother know that tomorrow was the third day of their marriage? Didn’t he and the Crown Princess go to Gu’s house?

"Han Desheng——"

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Concubine Li also said that she won't force it. She knows that tomorrow is the Crown Princess's return home, and she can't delay it, so she said that you two can go when you are free."

Listen, Concubine Li is still the same, creating a role for herself as an elder who is willing to compromise.

Gu Qinghe chuckled, "It might be too late tomorrow. We can just go the day after tomorrow morning. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Xiao Jingheng thought that the day after tomorrow, his three-day wedding leave would be over, and then the Crown Princess would have to go alone...

"How about the day after tomorrow at 9:00 PM? Let's wait until the emperor finishes his morning court session." Xiao Jingheng asked.

Gu Qinghe waved his hand, "No need. Your Highness the Crown Prince should naturally share the burden with the Emperor and be busy with the economy. I can go by myself."

"My mother's temper..." Xiao Jingheng said hesitantly, looking embarrassed.

Concubine Li is easily disturbed by bad words and tends to think the worst of people. It is really difficult to correct this habit.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. I should know Concubine Li's temperament much better than you do." Gu Qinghe said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng was speechless for a moment. What the Crown Princess said was not wrong. She had indeed seen the other side of his mother's kind face earlier than he did, and she was taking advantage of his embarrassment to refuse.

Of course, he also took advantage of the fact that he didn't like to ask about the affairs of the harem.

"That's natural." Xiao Jingheng smiled helplessly.

After returning to the East Palace, Gu Qinghe took Yingchun back to the main courtyard first, and Xiao Jingheng returned to the front courtyard first. Although they had three days of wedding leave, it was absolutely impossible for them not to take care of anything at all.

Zhang Wu was guarding the front yard. From a distance, he saw the Crown Princess's blind date, Chen Yuan, approaching with brisk steps. Zhang Wu bowed and said, "Master Chen."

Chen Yuan nodded, "Brother Zhang, is the prince here?"

He didn't want to come and disturb the prince at this time, but the incident happened suddenly.

"I just came back from the palace and am currently dealing with memorials." Zhang Wu said, looking at the study.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan strode straight towards the study.

After Han Desheng's announcement, Chen Yuan entered the room and bowed, greeting him. "I, your humble servant, congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his great joy. I wish you and the Crown Princess a long and happy marriage, a lasting bond, and a son soon..."

Xiao Jingheng felt a little uncomfortable listening to Chen Yuan's congratulatory speech, and raised his hand to stop him, "Let's talk business."

Chen Yuan smiled, then straightened his face again. "That old fox, Ruan Zhou, has been using middlemen to find a dozen beggars these past two days to spread the word in the capital that Miss Ruan Liuzheng was murdered by the Crown Princess."

Xiao Jingheng snorted and laughed, "Tell me, what specific strategy did the Crown Princess use? How could she harm his daughter when she wasn't in the enclosure?"

"That's right, the Crown Princess had been secretly plotting with you in advance and couldn't tolerate this cousin from my aunt's family, so she put pressure on you." Chen Yuan said this and looked at the Crown Prince's face, which was indeed as dark as the bottom of a pot again.

"Then what? Put pressure on me, and then I kill Ruan Liuzheng? To please the Crown Princess?" Xiao Jingheng asked.

"It is said that you said some very serious words to Miss Ruan, and Miss Ruan couldn't bear it, so she committed suicide." Chen Yuan said.

"He committed suicide, but blamed it on the Crown Princess. Was Ruan Zhou's brain taken over by a pig?" Xiao Jingheng snorted coldly.

Chen Yuan didn't quite agree with the prince's statement. It was because of the incident in the northwest that he had been keeping an eye on him. Otherwise, he would have gone around in circles twice and found a bunch of beggars. It would have been difficult to get any evidence, so he could only suspect.

Xiao Jingheng waved his hand, "Have all the beggars been arrested?"

"Yes, they are all locked up together now." Chen Yuan said, "What do you think we should do?"

"Give them a lesson for two days, then send them to the Jingji camp. Give each of them five taels of silver." Xiao Jingheng said after a moment's thought, "It's not a good idea to just cut off their tongues."

When Chen Yuan heard this, his eyes widened in shock. He only needed to say the first sentence. Why cut off the tongue? They, the Jinyiwei, usually did not use such cruel punishment.

"Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with Ruan Zhou?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Report it to the Emperor." Xiao Jingheng said, "I don't think he's an important contact. He's just a mid-level lackey at best."

"Your Highness is absolutely right, but I'm afraid this will alert the enemy."

"I've waited for so long, a year has passed, and the snake is hiding very safely. It's better to alarm it and let me see who is hiding." Xiao Jingheng dipped the tea in the tea and wrote the word "Jin" on the table.

Suddenly, he didn't want to wait anymore.

If, in the end, close combat is still necessary and the Crown Princess is put in danger, then it will be a nightmare.

If we continue to passively wait and be on guard, then what is the point of starting over?
