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

Prince Che's Mansion.

Chu Tianche had been feeling uneasy ever since he left the Imperial Study.

Everything unfolded differently than he had imagined. What seemed like a foolproof plan ended up taking a completely different turn than he had planned!

"When I went to the Imperial Study, I happened to run into the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who was famous for his brilliant judgment in solving cases."

Ordinary cases wouldn't require his involvement, but this time his father has sent him to investigate thoroughly, just in case…

Chu Tianche's face turned pale. He recalled his father's serious and solemn appearance today. If this matter were discovered, he would be completely finished.

"Your Highness, don't worry."

Seeing Chu Tianche's anxious look, Ling Qian'er smiled faintly, her eyes exuding confidence and tranquility.

"We had made thorough preparations for this matter long before we even started it."

They couldn't find anyone; everyone had been murdered to silence them. Even the clues left behind were merely things we could prepare to mislead them.

Chu Tianche breathed a sigh of relief, "But I heard that a spy was caught in the military camp."

"It's alright." Ling Qian'er's eyes were icy. "Imperial Physician Jin knows nothing about the inside story. As for the other one, he's just a pawn."

We have never personally intervened, and no matter how powerful the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is, he will not be able to uncover us.

"That's for the best. You should know that if anything goes wrong, none of us will escape!"

Chu Tianche's eyes were solemn; he felt that everything was going too wrong.

Such a good opportunity, yet Chu Junting managed to turn the tide. Even though he still has to take responsibility, everyone knows he is innocent.

He was particularly impressed by the way his father looked at him today. In all these years, his father had never looked at him with such loving eyes!

"Damn it! How come my third brother is so lucky? Didn't you say before that this matter was foolproof and that my third brother would never be able to break this plan?"

Not only is he broken now, but the trouble has fallen on us!

“Your Highness, I said before that Song Ruozhen was a variable. If we had eliminated her first, everything would have been a natural outcome, and the Prince of Chu would have had no chance to turn the tide.”

Ling Qian'er's eyes were icy cold; Song Ruozhen was practically her nemesis!

If it weren't for her, I would be the Princess Consort of Chu now, my brother wouldn't have died, and everything would be going very smoothly!

Chu Tianche was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but recall that back at the hunting grounds, everything would have gone very smoothly if it weren't for the appearance of the Song family.

He always felt that there was something strange about what happened back then. How could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that Song Ruozhen was originally her nemesis?

"The Chu Prince's mansion is heavily guarded, and my third brother has specially arranged for experts to guard her. It will not be easy to make a move against her."

Chu Tianche frowned slightly. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he saw Song Ruozhen's superb medical skills, which could even cure the plague in the shortest amount of time, he was certain that this person was a major threat.

One Chu Junting is already difficult to deal with, but this couple working together is even more difficult to deal with!

"Even if he doesn't die, he won't be able to help King Chu if something happens. Such a good plan failed, so we have to be even more careful in the future."

A chilling killing intent flashed in Ling Qian'er's eyes. Her original plan was to have both the King of Chu and the King of Yun die in the military camp.

Only the dead can keep the waves at bay!

She had given the King of Chu a chance, but he didn't cherish it and even made her a laughing stock!

"Let's figure out a way to get through this first, and then we can make a long-term plan later," Chu Tianche said thoughtfully.

……

After learning that Chu Junting had returned, Song Ruozhen's father and brother went to his study with him. She roughly guessed what they were talking about, so she didn't disturb them.

Gu Ruyan was focused on letting Song Ruozhen get some rest, and she hadn't slept at all, so her body was bound to give out.

However, now that the King of Chu has returned, Zhen'er certainly can't rest without seeing him.

"Is the King of Chu in good health now?" Gu Ruyan asked.

Song Ruozhen nodded gently, "Mother, don't worry, the plague has been resolved. You just need to take medicine to recover."

"That's good, you're really capable!"

Gu Ruyan held Song Ruozhen's hand, her eyes full of affection, "Your maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, and uncle are all very worried. Yesterday, your maternal grandmother even came to see me, worried about your and the Prince of Chu's safety."

Now they probably all know, and everyone can rest assured.

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone this time. Once the case is solved, I'd like to invite everyone to get together," Song Ruozhen said with a smile.

Gu Ruyan's eyes lit up. "That's fine too."

Song Lin and the others did not stay in the study for long. They looked at the King of Chu's slightly pale face and knew that he had not rested well for the past two days and had not recovered from his illness.

After sharing all the information they had gathered, the group left.

Since we're going to investigate anyway, there's no need to rush tonight.

When Chu Junting returned to the house, seeing his smiling wife, his heart softened instantly.

Song Ruozhen saw Chu Junting pause for a moment after entering the room, and then quickly step forward. Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled into his arms.

A warm and reassuring embrace.

Chu Junting held her tightly, as if she were his most precious treasure, and heard his slightly hoarse voice in her ear:

"Thank you for your hard work; you saved us all."

The man's voice trembled slightly; it seemed that the emotions he had been suppressing for the past few days had finally been laid bare before her.

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. In the past two days, she had only seen Chu Junting as strong and rational.

Despite being infected with the plague, he still handled everything methodically, arresting spies and interrogating Physician Jin. But the emotion he displayed now was different.

She wrapped her arms around the man's back and nestled lovingly in his embrace.

"The happiest thing for me is that you are still standing in front of me, safe and sound."

She knew that Jun Ting had been fighting on the front lines for years, and the soldiers in the military camp were his brothers.

Aside from staying at the Prince's Palace, he spent most of his time in the military camp.

The entire army camp was almost wiped out. Even if someone deliberately framed him, he knew that everything was aimed at him and that it was his responsibility.

Hearing the woman's soft, sweet voice, Chu Junting had only one thought in his mind.

He wanted to give her everything that was best in the world.

"Alright, you must be tired today, let's all get some rest."

Song Ruozhen patted Chu Junting on the back, her tone gentle and coaxing. She had to admit that after getting married, she noticed that Chu Junting could be particularly obedient in front of her.

I always think...it's very cute.

Chu Junting chuckled and picked Song Ruozhen up in his arms.

Song Ruozhen was slightly surprised, but her hands naturally wrapped around his neck.

"When you entered the palace today, your father praised you, saying that you had made a great contribution and would be rewarded handsomely."

Chu Junting carried her to the bed and bent down to help her take off her shoes.

"I haven't taken a bath yet," Song Ruozhen said involuntarily.

Chu Junting kissed her forehead and then her lips, his eyes full of tenderness and affection. "My wife smells wonderful even without a bath. You must be tired. Go and rest."
