Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

"I didn't see her set a trap for you; you were clearly the one causing her trouble at every turn!"

Lin Zhiyue couldn't hear anything at the moment; everything kept replaying in his mind.

"You were the one who targeted her from the beginning. She never provoked you. If you hadn't repeatedly caused trouble, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

For some time now, he had a vague premonition that things shouldn't be like this.

He should be living a good life now, being sought after in the capital and having a fortune. How could he be penniless now?

That's all wrong!

Qin Shuangshuang ruined his good life!

Looking at Lin Zhiyue, who seemed to have gone mad, Qin Shuangshuang was first panicked and frightened, and then couldn't help but get angry.

"What do you mean by that? You were the one who kept saying you liked me and wanted to marry me, which is why I abandoned everything from my family to go to the border to find you."

You said you would give me the position of your principal wife and that you would never wrong me. I am, after all, a young lady of the Qin family. Do you really expect me to be your concubine?

I've given you my whole heart, how could you repay me?

Lin Zhiyue sneered, "A sincere heart means climbing into someone else's bed?"

"I...I was framed, didn't you know that?" Qin Shuangshuang explained, her eyes darting around.

"I didn't expose you because of our past relationship. You were indeed deceived because you didn't want to sleep with Yao Jinsheng, but with the King of Chu!"

Lin Zhiyue was furious, and his smile grew colder and colder. "If you had climbed into the bed of the King of Chu that day, would you have regretted it? You wouldn't!"

You don't truly love me. You only chose me because you were rejected by the King of Chu and can't find anyone better right now.

"Zhiyue, are you bringing up old grievances with me now?"

Qin Shuangshuang was incredulous. "You clearly said back then that you didn't care, and that you would be happy as long as I was willing to be with you."

Now you're bringing this up again? You've really disappointed me!

After saying that, Qin Shuangshuang turned and left with tears in her eyes and a look of disappointment on her face.

However, that pig-like face did not show any of the pitiful charm she had imagined; instead, it appeared utterly ugly.

After walking a few steps, Qin Shuangshuang waited for Lin Zhiyue to catch up and apologize, but after walking a distance, she still didn't see Lin Zhiyue catch up. She turned her head unconsciously, only to find that Lin Zhiyue had disappeared from the spot.

She looked on in disbelief, and her heart sank even further.

How dare Lin Zhiyue treat her like this!

……

When news of Chu Yichuan and Chu Tianche's attack reached the other side, everyone was stunned.

The imperial physician quickly ushered the two into the tent and began to treat them.

The Emperor's face turned ashen. "Jun Ting, what exactly is going on?"

Chu Junting recounted what he had witnessed: his two elder brothers being assassinated, the four Song brothers rescuing them, and how they eventually captured the fleeing assassin.

"Your Majesty, you must seek justice for Tianche! The imperial physician said that if the wound on his chest had been a few degrees further to the side, he would have lost his life!"

Consort Zhong cried her heart out, constantly calling out Chu Tianche's name. Looking at his clothes stained with blood, she seemed on the verge of fainting.

"Don't worry, I will definitely catch the mastermind behind this and I will never let my son suffer in vain."

Consort Gao also felt sorry for Chu Yichuan. Although her eyes were red, she did not cry like Consort Zhong and appeared more generous and dignified.

"Your Majesty, this thief is incredibly audacious, daring to assassinate Prince Che during the hunting competition. Fortunately, Yichuan arrived just in time, otherwise..."

The Emperor nodded. "Yichuan is a kind-hearted child, I have always known that."

Song Ruozhen and the others waited outside the tent and could clearly hear the sounds coming from inside. The siblings exchanged glances and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that it was true that you really couldn't stay in the royal family without some brains.

Consort Gao subtly attributed the credit to the eldest prince with a single sentence, also making the emperor remember the eldest prince's kindness.

Seeing this, Song Ruozhen understood that the Crown Prince had escaped this calamity. After all, she had also been injured, and even if the evidence pointed to him in the end, it would not be convincing. Instead, it would make people think that someone had deliberately framed him.

As for Chu Junting, she wasn't worried.

This man is always shrewd; since he already knows her plan, he must have made preparations to deal with it.

In any case, he will not be implicated in this matter in the end.

"Jun Ting, I entrust this matter to you to investigate. You must get to the bottom of this!" the Emperor ordered.

Upon hearing this, Consort Zhong and Consort Gao, who were standing nearby, had different expressions, and the Empress also looked at Chu Junting, realizing that this matter might be somewhat inappropriate.

“Father, this matter involves my two elder brothers. I am worried that this is a dispute between princes. Perhaps we should hand it over to the Dali Temple to find out the truth,” Chu Junting said.

The Emperor glanced at Chu Junting and saw that he looked open and honest, and that he had taken the initiative to bring this up in order to avoid suspicion. The Emperor's eyes showed a hint of appreciation for him.

"It's good that you're not involved in this matter. You've been working hard in the military lately, and you deserve a few days of rest. We are very grateful for your timely arrival today."

"Thank you, Father." Chu Junting bowed. "The Song siblings are still waiting outside. Thanks to them, my two brothers are safe and sound today."

The Emperor also remembered the contributions of the Song siblings and said, "Summon them in."

The five Song siblings appeared neatly in the tent, bowed respectfully, and then stood up.

"I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. If I remember correctly, this girl from the Song family is named Song Ruozhen, right?"

The Emperor looked at Song Ruozhen and smiled. Thanks to this girl, the Empress Dowager was able to find the things left behind by the late Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the Song family has done another great service today. If it weren't for them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Song Ruozhen replied.

The Empress looked at Song Ruozhen with a slightly complicated expression. Her meeting with Song Ruozhen that day was not pleasant, but seeing that her sister was pregnant and everything was exactly as Song Ruozhen had said, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

That's incredibly accurate!

The things left behind by the late emperor have been missing for so many years, yet Song Ruozhen was able to find them accurately even though she had never been to the Imperial Study.

She even suspected that Jun Ting might have discovered it beforehand and deliberately informed Song Ruozhen so that she would have a chance to perform in the palace. But then she thought that even if this could be explained in that way, Min Hui's pregnancy was something that could not be calculated.

She knew her younger sister's personality very well, and besides, the imperial physician had already examined her; she was only a month pregnant.

Song Ruozhen started talking about it a month ago. At that time, even Min Hui herself didn't know, so how could she possibly help her act out a scene?

Not only that, she also made a special trip to inquire about the Dong and Bai families, and the more she learned, the more she felt that Song Ruozhen was no ordinary person...
