"If I hadn't been too careless and someone had taken advantage of my weakness, so many people wouldn't have been implicated. It's all my fault!"

Chu Junting knelt down.

Although this was a case of attempted murder, since it occurred in his military camp, he cannot escape responsibility.

Rather than waiting for others to pin the blame on him, he might as well take all the responsibility upon himself first.

When Chu Tianche learned that Song Ruozhen had gone to the north of the city to administer medicine immediately, his heart sank. He had not forgotten the accident that Chu Junting had just experienced, and he had not expected Song Ruozhen to be so clever!

This excellent plan would never have ended like this if it weren't for Song Ruozhen!

Even when it comes to administering medicine, no other princess could have done something as grand as Song Ruozhen, or prepared everything in such a short time.

Apart from the wealthy Song family, almost no one could do it.

Damn!

"Get up first. This happened in the military camp, so you can't escape responsibility."

However, I know perfectly well what happened. The Princess Consort of Chu has had an even harder time, and this merit... will not be buried because of your negligence.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting smiled. His wife had done a great service!

"I've heard that half the population in the north of the city has received the medicinal herbs, and the Song family deserves much credit for this. I've heard that Song Jingshen, the fourth son of the Song family, has been engaged in business?"

"Exactly."

The Emperor nodded. "Not bad."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yungui couldn't help but look at Chu Junting. Hearing their father's words, "Not bad," the two knew that Song Jingshen had also made a contribution this time.

Finding so many medicinal herbs in such a short time would not have been possible even with the intervention of the imperial court.

The Song family's actions undoubtedly solved their immediate problem.

……

The Song siblings continued administering the medicine until night, and the Song family's medicinal herbs were completely emptied.

"All the medicine is gone. I've already sent people to collect the herbs, but even if they go as fast as they can, it won't be until tomorrow. Let's go back today."

Song Jingshen glanced at the empty cart and informed Song Ruozhen of the current situation.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly before telling the people who came to collect their medicine, "All the medicine for today has been collected. Please come back tomorrow."

"Won't it be gone by tomorrow?"

"Why did it stop happening to us?"

The people who did not receive the medicine felt a surge of tension, disappointment, and resentment.

However, as soon as a few people said such things, they were rebuked by the other people.

"Who can I blame for being late?"

"How much medicine have you received today? I already said that all the medicine that could be delivered has been delivered. Princess Chu hasn't rested at all, and you're still complaining?"

"Anyone who dares to complain will be slapped by me!"

As soon as the burly men spoke, those who hadn't received their medicine immediately fell silent.

Ultimately, it was indeed their fault.

It wasn't until Song Jingshen sent Song Ruozhen back to the Prince's Mansion that he realized his father, mother, and even his brothers were there.

“Your sister-in-law originally wanted to come too, but she’s pregnant, so I didn’t let her go through all that trouble,” Song Yanzhou explained.

Song Ruozhen felt a warmth in her heart and said, "It's not a big deal. Sister-in-law should rest well at home."

"You say it's nothing serious? This almost cost me my life!"

Looking at her audacious daughter, Gu Ruyan couldn't help but complain, scrutinizing her closely. "You've lost weight!"

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh, "It's only been two days, how could I have lost weight?"

“You’ve lost weight.” Gu Ruyan said seriously, “Not only have you lost weight, but you also look haggard. You didn’t rest at all today and immediately went to apply medicine.”

You can have your older brothers handle this; why do you need to do it yourself?

"Fifth sister, you should have asked me to do this kind of thing. We're both brothers, why do you only ask fourth brother and not me? Don't you like third brother anymore?"

A hint of sadness lingered between Song Zhiyu's brows, and he couldn't help but glare at Song Jingshen with disdain.

It was better when he was out there. Back then, Fifth Sister would call on him for everything. Now that he's back, he's no longer Fifth Sister's favorite brother!

Song Jingshen raised his eyebrows smugly, "Of course you can't compare to me, is that even a question?"

"I'm going to have a spar with you tonight!" Song Zhiyu said.

Seeing this, Song Ruozhen quickly said, "It all happened so suddenly today. It's all my fault for not resting yesterday. My head is still foggy today, and I even forgot to call him Third Brother. It's all my fault!"

"You haven't rested since yesterday?"

Song Zhiyu's attention was immediately diverted, and his eyes filled with concern.

"That won't do, you need to rest right away."

Song Lin and Gu Ruyan guessed that Song Ruozhen must have been very busy these past two days, but when they heard that she hadn't had time to rest and had gone to administer medicine, they were all extremely concerned.

Chu Junting returned home after Song Ruozhen was escorted back inside.

Seeing his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and four brothers-in-law all there, Chu Junting was momentarily surprised, but considering how favored his wife was in the Song family, it made sense.

"I'm sorry to have worried you all." Chu Junting bowed, his face showing a hint of guilt.

"It's good that Your Highness is alright. This time it was far too dangerous."

Song Lin and the others looked solemn. They were well aware of the current situation in the court. They waited here specifically to show their concern for Ruozhen and to discuss matters with the King of Chu.

Knowing this, Gu Ruyan went to the front hall with Song Zhiyu and Song Jingshen, and ordered people to prepare some food.

Song Lin, Song Yanzhou, and Song Yi'an followed Chu Junting to the study.

"Today in the court, Grand Tutor Ling and Prince Che were determined to convict you, and they clearly couldn't hold back any longer."

If it weren't for the timely news from the military camp, they probably would have already joined forces with other ministers to force the Emperor to convict them of the crime.

Song Lin thought about the people who followed Grand Tutor Ling today. Some of them were people they already knew, but there were also some who surprised them.

It must be said that today's events did allow them to see who Grand Tutor Ling's men were.

If the Ling family is to be completely overthrown, these people will also be a problem, and the entire court may undergo a huge upheaval.

Chu Junting was not surprised at all when he heard the news. "I expected that this matter was related to Prince Che. He has been coveting the position of Crown Prince for a long time."

Previously, he wanted to destroy Prince Xiao, but now that Prince Xiao has made a mistake, I have become a major enemy in his eyes, which is why he is so eager to bring me down.

"This is a good opportunity. They failed to convict you, but instead, they handed the crime to you."

Song Lin looked serious. This was a rare opportunity, and he had to seize it to completely defeat them!

If this doesn't work out, there won't be such a good opportunity again.

You must never show mercy to those who want to kill you, or you will be the one who suffers the most!
