Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?
Chapter 569 Should they be punished together?
The marriage of Prince Che was a major event, and many court officials went to offer their congratulations. However, the matter concerning Prince Xiao had become such a big deal that it was almost impossible for anyone present not to know about it.
Not to mention that Duke Luo held a high position in the court, and Song Lin had returned after making great contributions.
Luo Qingyin's past is heartbreaking. Everyone felt that she had a very difficult life, and her health was poor. She was suddenly angered to the point of fainting. She had no grudge against Consort Xiao, so it was an undeserved disaster.
"Although Consort Xiao is Princess Xiao's younger sister, she dares not speak of Princess Xiao's infertility in public. Such behavior should be stopped, but instead of stopping her, Prince Xiao condones her causing trouble everywhere, even implicating Princess Chu."
Seeing that everyone was starting to criticize him, Chu Yichuan's face turned extremely ugly.
Yesterday's incident was indeed inappropriate, but in the end it was just a small matter and nothing serious. However, the way they said it made it into a huge crime. It was clearly a deliberate attack!
Duke Luo knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is truly innocent. She has always been in poor health and has rarely appeared in public in recent years."
I wonder what I did to offend Consort Xiao, that she's being targeted like this!
The Emperor's face gradually turned ashen, and his gaze toward Chu Yichuan became increasingly sharp.
"Prince Xiao, what do you have to say?"
Chu Yichuan immediately knelt down, “Father, what happened yesterday was indeed somewhat inappropriate. Qinglan is the second young lady of the Jiang family, and she has attended all kinds of banquets over the years.”
As for Madam Song, she had no intention of harming her. She had only heard that Princess Chu was a skilled physician and that Madam Song had been unwell for some time, so she asked Princess Chu if she could cure her.
Unexpectedly, after this news spread, it became a claim that it was a deliberate attempt to make Mrs. Song infertile, and that someone had orchestrated it intentionally!
With such a large gathering of civil and military officials today, he didn't believe that no one was stirring up trouble behind the scenes; it was clearly an attempt to take this opportunity to target him!
The Emperor remained noncommittal, his dignified and indifferent gaze sweeping over Chu Yichuan before turning to Chu Junting.
"King of Chu, what is your explanation for yesterday's events?"
Chu Junting noticed Chu Yichuan's gaze, but immediately looked away.
"In my opinion, Consort Xiao is deliberately causing trouble."
Upon hearing this, disbelief flashed in Chu Yichuan's eyes. "Third brother, you've misunderstood!"
"As a concubine, Consort Xiao had no right to comment on Princess Xiao's affairs, and bringing up the issue of women's infertility was even more of a cruel and malicious act."
Once someone believes something, even if it's a rumor, no one will believe it, and the person being talked about will never be able to recover.
Chu Junting remained indifferent. He didn't care about the disputes in the backyard of the Xiao Prince's Mansion, but Jiang Qinglan's lack of tact and repeated targeting of Ruozhen was something he could not tolerate.
As Chu Junting finished speaking, everyone present understood perfectly.
This is nothing more than a tactic for vying for favor in the inner quarters.
In order to highlight himself, he deliberately belittled Princess Xiao and even dragged others into the matter.
Such a thing wouldn't normally be a big deal in one's own household. The only one to blame is Consort Xiao for being so brainless, insisting on causing trouble in a situation like yesterday, and even making Luo Qingyin faint from anger.
As the eldest son of the legitimate wife, Prince Xiao usually had many people to watch out for, so he naturally couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"Your Majesty, yesterday was the wedding of Prince Che, a joyous occasion. However, Consort Xiao disregarded the occasion and caused trouble, which may have sown discord among the princes."
At this moment, Grand Tutor Ling also spoke up.
The moment everyone heard this, their expressions changed again, and this was even more serious than anything that had been said before.
To sow discord between the princes!
Thinking about it carefully, both the King of Chu and the King of Che were implicated. The three brothers originally had a pretty good relationship, but now that this has happened, anyone with eyes can see that their relationship has indeed been affected.
This is undoubtedly a major taboo for the emperor!
Seeing that everyone was talking about his daughter, Minister Jiang had no choice but to step forward, even if he wanted to hide.
"Your Majesty, it's all my daughter's fault. She used to be so outspoken at home, I never expected she would cause such a big disaster!"
However, I assure you, my daughter had absolutely no intention of sabotaging the relationship between the princes. She doesn't have that kind of courage; she's just rather foolish. I hope Your Majesty will understand!
Minister Jiang knelt down, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
He realized something was wrong after learning the news yesterday, but he never expected that Grand Tutor Ling would make such a big accusation right off the bat, which no one could withstand!
Chu Yichuan's heart tightened. "Father, I must discipline them strictly and never let such a thing happen again!"
……
After getting up, Song Ruozhen went to the storeroom, picked out some tonics, and returned to the Song family.
On this day, Luo Qingyin felt the Song family's attention to her. They prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her early in the morning, all of which were her favorite dishes.
Not only that, her mother-in-law also instructed the servants around her to be careful in everything they did and not to fall.
Even the clothes, accessories, and other items were chosen to be the most beautiful for her, saying that this would help her give birth to a beautiful child.
When Song Ruozhen returned, she saw her mother and Aunt Yan discussing what else they should prepare.
"Fifth Sister, you're back?"
When Luo Qingyin saw Song Ruozhen, a happy smile appeared on her face. The next moment, she saw the tonics that Song Ruozhen had brought back.
"Fifth sister, what's wrong with you...?"
"Sister-in-law, these bird's nests are all good stuff. They're good for your skin and also beneficial for children."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "You'd better take good care of yourself lately, otherwise your whole family will be worried sick."
"Fifth Sister, there are already quite a few things in the manor. Now that you are married to the Prince, you should keep these for yourself. I'm afraid you'll need them soon."
Luo Qingyin was in a great mood today. The weight that had been hanging over her heart was finally lifted. Just thinking about how she and Yan Zhou had a child made her feel extremely satisfied.
She used to feel that God was unfair to her, why she had to suffer so much, but now she feels that everything is the best arrangement!
God has truly been kind to her!
"I still have some; these are all my heartfelt wishes."
Song Ruozhen took Luo Qingyin's pulse again, and after confirming that the pulse was stable, she felt relieved.
She saw through my trick yesterday and it didn't work. However, my sister-in-law is sensitive, so I shouldn't tell her about this.
Just then, Song Lin and the others returned from court. However, Song Ruozhen was surprised to see Chu Junting returning with them.
"Your Highness, why did you come here right after court?"
Chu Junting chuckled, "I knew you were here, so I came to find you."
Gu Ruyan and the others couldn't help but laugh; the King of Chu truly understood Ruozhen very well.
Yan Qingyu looked anxiously at the Duke of Luo, "What happened yesterday? Is there any result today?"
