C49

Xue Longhu was currently in his study reading an article. He had already flipped through two to three pages of the paper many times, but he could not read a single word.

A bowl of soup was suddenly presented in front of him. When Xue Longhu raised it up, what entered his eyes was Xue Ronghua's beautiful face.

"Last night, Father had to work all night for the Aunt Min. Today, I will drink a bowl of soup to replenish my energy." Xue Ronghua's eyes were as gentle as water.

Xue Longhu was moved, he did not know what to do, and was so angry, he immediately rushed back to his home, the only one who could rely on him was his daughter, Xue Ronghua.

"Ai, Ronghua, it's a good thing you're here."

Xue Ronghua smiled, "I have always been by father's side."

Xue Longhu frowned his eyebrows sadly, "You said that this child Xue Liuhua has always been a prudent person when it comes to doing things. How can he commit such a big mistake?"

It seems like as her father, Xue Ronghua, really did not understand a single thing about her own biological daughter. Xue Ronghua sneered in her heart, but maintained a light smile on her face.

Xue Longhu sighed sadly, "Liuhua really disappoints me."

Xue Ronghua tried to probe: "I heard that my sister was locked in the house by father, and could only be released next spring, father, do you want to …"

"No," Xue Longhu waved his hand impatiently. "This time, Xue Liuhua did something that was too embarrassing and even forced the Aunt Min to swallow gold to commit suicide.

Xue Ronghua smiled, "Then let big sister reflect on it."

Although Xue Longhu still had some lingering feelings for Xue Liuhua, but the matter of her killing Aunt Min and his unborn child was already a foregone conclusion. Xue Longhu was afraid that the moment he saw matters related to Aunt Min, he would remember that his own daughter had personally killed her own children and concubines, and must be feeling very troubled, right?

In the past, Xue Longhu had always been doting on him, so much that she didn't even interfere when he insulted his little sister. Now that he felt that he had lost his son, he more or less hated Xue Liuhua.

"Miss, you have something on your mind recently." Little Zhui asked worriedly.

"Nothing," Xue Ronghua laughed as she shook her head, "I just remembered the past."

Little Zhui thought that she would be bullied by the big miss and the big lady, and immediately advised: "Miss, you are no longer the same young lady from before, please do not hurt your spirit because of this matter."

Xue Ronghua said gently: "Yes, yes, yes, I am no longer that weak and incompetent Miss."

Little Zhui was ecstatic: "Young miss is staying at home for the next few days, do you want to go out?"

Xue Ronghua muttered to herself and called Zhu Tong over.

"Quasi-wangfei, what do you need this servant for?"

Xue Ronghua asked: "Prince Duan hasn't been here for a while, do you know what's going on?"

Zhu Tong shook her head, at a loss, "This servant doesn't know."

Xue Ronghua had not come here for so long, could it be that something had happened in the palace?

Little Zhui comforted her: "Miss, Prince Duan should still be busy with his own matters. If something really does happen, it will definitely spread to the Residence."

The manor was previously surrounded by fake pregnant Aunt Min s, there was no need to care about the fickle imperial palace. Xue Ronghua said: Master, have you been going out a lot in the past few days?

Little Zhui said: "Not much, the old master has been suffering from Aunt Min's injuries and has always been calling others sick."

She was Chu Zongge's strongest ally, so it was best for her to stay by his side right now. Otherwise, if she really met with trouble, the master, who was not very familiar with the Great Qin Empire, would definitely lose his cool.

Xue Ronghua stood up in a fluster, "Little Zhui, follow me to the Tingxue Building."

Little Zhui was startled, "Are we going now?"

Xue Ronghua nodded her head heavily, "It's the most dangerous for us to not know anything about this situation. We have to act immediately."

Prince Jin looked at Xue Ronghua with gloom filling his eyes, and laughed: "Quasi-wangfei, don't worry, our Xinyang Hall is about to arrive."

Xue Ronghua smiled: "Thank you, Prince Jin."

"There's no need for formalities between us. Did something happen to the future wangfei for her to rush into the palace?"

"It's nothing. I'm just missing him a bit." Xue Ronghua's cheeks suddenly blushed.

Prince Jin smiled, "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, it's normal for me to miss you."

Xue Ronghua lowered her head and smiled, "How is Prince Jin and that beauty?"

"I rarely met her in these few days, so I was fortunate enough to meet her today. Thus, I have been able to dispel many thoughts from her."

"I wonder who that beautiful woman is, to have such a talent like Prince Jin, what kind of blessings could she possibly have cultivated in her past life."

The Prince Jin said smilingly, "The future Queen Mother will know."

"Oh yeah," Xue Ronghua said, "That day, when Prince Jin told me his story, I was stupid, and no matter how I think about it, I don't know what it meant."

Prince Jin opened up his fan to cover half his face. "Didn't I say that this story is related to Prince Duan?

Xue Ronghua was startled, then immediately laughed: "It's really hard to guess, Prince Jin still wants to have your hands folded like this, and has half covered your face."

"For an important matter like this," Prince Jin blinked his eyes, "it's better to be cautious."

Xue Ronghua laughed but did not speak, "If Prince Jin does not explain it to me, how can I explain it to him?"

Prince Jin said with a smile, "Prince Duan is intelligent and will definitely understand."

Xue Ronghua did not wish to get entangled with him, and laughed: "My sister is really missing Prince Jin."

"The Young Miss Xue has overpowering beauty, it seems like the young master of another family misses her a lot."

Xue Ronghua exhaled lightly, "Could it be that Prince Jin doesn't have any thoughts for this big sister?"

"The quasi wangfei looks down on me too much," Prince Jin shook his head. "In my heart, there is only that woman."

The warm smile on Prince Jin's face was obviously a disguise. did not want to expose him. That day, when Xue Liuhua asked for a Spring Dancing, his eyes were filled with infatuation, and she even said "only".

After being confined in the Xinyang Hall for three months, Lv Ying had long since landed outside. The flower that bloomed the brightest was the imperial garden's lotus flower, just that the Empress Chen was currently bringing the crown prince to drink tea there, he could not go and disturb others' leisure.

Chu Zongge squinted his eyes as he took advantage of the shade under the tree. A carriage arrived outside the palace, and a young master dressed in white jumped down from the carriage, waving at him.

Chu Zongge looked at Xue Ronghua who was disguised as a man in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you in a few days. I was afraid that something had happened to you, so I came to the palace to find you."

Chu Zongge looked at the carriage in the distance and asked curiously: "How did you enter the palace?"

"It was Prince Jin who helped me enter." Xue Ronghua spoke to him as she walked into the hall.

"Prince Jin actually helped you enter the palace?"

"Aren't you considering the alliance with the Prince Jin?" Xue Ronghua grinned, "The reason he sent me in here is also to show you."

Chu Zongge shook his head, "I do not wish to form an alliance with the Prince Jin, if he were to lay some trap for me, it would be troublesome."

Xue Ronghua said with a smile: "Prince Jin is indeed an unreliable person, I think so too, you have not come to find me for so many days, what has happened?"

Chu Zongge looked at her silently, then laughed: "It's nothing much, Royal Father saw that I have a personal relationship with a senior official, in a moment of anger, he locked me up."

Xue Ronghua said in shock, "The Emperor has always just reprimanded you verbally, and then forgot about it. Why did he suddenly …"

Chu Zongge's lips revealed a bitter smile, "When I went to the Luan Feng Palace one night, I saw the emperor. In his confusion, he took me as her Mrs. Heyi and poured out a bunch of love words towards me. I thought that he must have deeply fallen in love with the Mrs. Heyi, so on the second day, I went to the Imperial Study to probe him.

"Pour you a bunch of love words?" Xue Ronghua revealed an expression of interest, "What did he say?"

Chu Zongge knew that Xue Ronghua wanted to tease him again, "How could I remember so much of those corny words? The clearest thing is that the emperor mentioned about the Empress Chen."

"Empress Chen?"

"The Emperor said that he did not love the Empress Chen. The reason he let her be Queen for so long was because of the Mrs. Heyi."

Xue Ronghua raised Chu Zongge's face in shock, "I've looked at you for too long, I feel that your Yuan Su looks a little like the Empress Chen."

Chu Zongge slapped her hand away, "Nonsense, why do I look like the Empress Chen?"

"It's true," Xue Ronghua called a palace maid over. "Have you ever seen the Empress? Don't you feel that your Prince Duan is similar to the Empress Chen? "

The palace maid looked carefully and said, "This servant has never seen esteemed Empress, but I've seen the crown prince. The Prince Duan is very similar to the crown prince, everyone in the palace says so."

Xue Ronghua raised her eyebrows and laughed: "I think it's more like it."

Chu Zongge laughed: "Stop bullshitting, the Emperor said that he allowed the Chen family to become the empress for the sake of the Mrs. Heyi, quickly analyze what that means, I do not understand."

Xue Ronghua shook her head helplessly, "Regarding the matters of the palace, I can only guess that the Emperor loves the Mrs. Heyi. Now that we are in the Empress Chen, I can't guess any further, could it be that the Emperor loves the Empress Chen as well as the Mrs. Heyi.

Chu Zongge took a deep breath, "What's the use of trying to be evenly matched? We have to be ten feet ahead of the crown prince."

Xue Ronghua said: "The things that Prince Jin has told me a few days ago, I still can't figure it out."

"What did he say to you?"

"He told me a story." Xue Ronghua told the entire story to Chu Zongge, and even specifically added, "Prince Jin said that this was your story."

Chu Zongge frowned, "I won't be able to do such a thing."

"Tell me," Xue Ronghua said after pondering for a moment, "Noble Consort Kang and Mrs. Heyi are in the palace together, would she know about what happened between Mrs. Heyi and the Emperor back then?

"You mean, the Mrs. Heyi is the beauty?"

"I also don't dare to be sure, but if the emperor truly loves the Mrs. Heyi, then why couldn't he avoid him in time? There must be some unspeakable hidden meaning, and it might be related to the matter of our brothers."

Chu Zongge squinted his eyes. No wonder the emperor minded it so much, it was because he stole his own younger brother's woman. No wonder the Mrs. Heyi didn't get along with him.

"But why would Prince Jin help me?"

"Of course it's to curry favor with you again," Xue Ronghua laughed. "It's good that you take this cup of tea, but you still have to be wary of him pouring tea for the other party."

Chu Zongge chuckled: "The other person who wanted to receive the tea had come to find me on the same day. However, the tea leaves are precious so I should first stand in front of him.

"It would be a good idea to take away the Prince Jin instead of using him," Xue Ronghua said with a smile. "Don't let the Prince Jin get too anxious."
