Chapter 322 Let Shen Ruzhou rescue Jianing
Qin Yu knocked his head down hard, his face was solemn, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Your Majesty, you have learned clearly that I have no unkind thoughts about the princess, and I have no intention of reaching out to the princess. If I make half-truths, I will die in vain." !”
Jianing's eyes widened in shock, and he stared at Qin Yu blankly, his lips trembling, and his breathing became more rapid.
"Jianing!"
The eldest princess was frightened by her and hurried over. Unexpectedly, the moment she hugged her, Jianing coughed up a large mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground.
The eldest princess's legs were so weak that she looked at Qin Yu fiercely, and pointed at him with her finger stained with bright red, "Someone, drag this lowly guard down and chop him down!"
The guards in the palace immediately wanted to go to the palace to arrest someone, but they saw Bei Xiuyan taking a step forward with a stern expression and cold eyes.
The guards were so frightened by his eyes that they unconsciously shrank their necks, looked at each other, and did not dare to take a step forward.
Bei Xiuyan looked at the eldest princess, with an impressive and coercive look, "The matter has come to this, eldest princess, let's just let it go. If everyone knows about it, then Jianing will not even think about getting married in the future. "
How could the eldest princess not hear the threat in his words? It was just Bei Xiuyan who said these words. She would not dare to confront him even if she had ten more courages. She could only hold Jianing and cry bitterly.
Emperor Yong'an looked impatient, and there was no warmth in his expression. "No one wants to marry Jianing, so just wait for the marriage!"
After that, Emperor Yong'an flicked his sleeves and left.Cao Dehai understood and immediately greeted everyone with a smile to continue back to the Taihe Hall for the banquet, as if nothing happened just now.
Everyone left one after another. Mu Wanqing glanced at Yu Yaner and followed King Yu away.
The eldest princess in the palace was still slumped on the ground with her daughter in her arms, her eyes empty and confused.
Yu Yaner stepped forward to comfort her kindly, "Princess, please get up quickly. The ground is cold, so take care of yourself."
The eldest princess felt completely hopeless and asked, "Why do I need this body?"
"Princess, what are you talking about? If you fall, the princess will have no hope."
Yu Yaner's face was full of concern and she whispered softly, "I have an idea that might help."
As if grasping a life-saving straw, the eldest princess held Yu Yaner's hand tightly and asked eagerly: "What can I do?"
Yu Yaner patted the eldest princess on the shoulder comfortingly, "Let Shen Ruzhou go and plead for mercy. Didn't she treat the plague in the military camp and collect food for disaster relief?"
"She is responsible for all the charitable acts of donating porridge in Prince Wucheng's palace. If all the credit can be given to Jianing, then these things today will not be a big deal at all."
"The emperor will definitely have a different view of Jianing, so naturally he won't have to go to the wilderness to get married."
Yu Yaner thoughtfully helped the eldest princess lift Jianing up. Seeing the eldest princess's eyes shining, she knew that the other party had listened to her words.
"It's just," Yu Yan'er hesitated for a moment, then said with a troubled face: "I just don't know if Shen Ruzhou is willing?"
"There's no reason why she doesn't want to!" The eldest princess's eyes were stern and her expression was cold and scary. "Shen Ruzhou has harmed my daughter to this point. She must help me save Jianing, otherwise I will make her pay a heavy price!"
On the way back to the Palace of Peace and Harmony, Shen Mu looked at his daughter from time to time, feeling that she was absent-minded and seemed preoccupied.
He whispered to Shen Chumu: "I see something wrong with your sister's expression. You can find a chance to ask her later if she is having a hard time in Prince Wucheng's Mansion."
Shen Chumu had noticed it a long time ago. When his father said this, he became even more concerned. If it hadn't been inappropriate just now, he would have gone to ask for details.
Shen Ruzhou was immersed in what just happened and didn't notice her father's worry. She was already pretty sure that Mu Wanqing was responsible for this, but she couldn't get any evidence for a while.
She shook her head. The most important thing was that Jianing was dizzy at such a critical moment. It was really useless!
Everyone returned to the Taihe Hall, the wind instruments sounded, and the singing and dancing continued.Shen Ruzhou followed his brother to the table without thinking.
Concubine De frowned when she saw Shen Ruzhou sitting next to Shen Chumu so blatantly, "Ruzhou, why are you so unruly? How can a married daughter sit with her natal brother?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou raised his eyebrows, smiled and took his brother's arm, acting like a little daughter.
"No wonder, Concubine De, I just miss my family. My father and brother went out to fight and just came back today. I just want to get closer to my family. King Wucheng has always been reasonable and respects his heroes. I think he won't mind, right?"
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were full of coldness, but there was a just right smile on his lips, "Of course. Today is a celebration banquet hosted by my father for the Shen family. Just be happy and don't have to stick to these false etiquette."
Shen Ruzhou pushed further, "Then I want to go home and live for a while to have a good reunion with my family. King Wu Cheng should also understand, right?"
Xiao Chenyan, don’t you know how to pretend?Keep pretending!
Faced with Shen Ruzhou's provocation, Xiao Chenyan gritted his teeth in anger, but still had a friendly smile on his face, and his words made it impossible to find any fault.
"The general has returned victoriously, and it is natural for the princess to go back to reunite with her family and share family happiness. I will naturally support you. Princess, please feel free to go back. When the time comes, I will come to pick you up in person."
Shen Ruzhou sneered, thanked him politely, left Xiao Chenyan with his back, and said nothing.
The palace maids held wine bottles and carefully and gently shuttled between the banquets to pour wine for the guests. The imperial kitchen also served newly prepared dishes. The sound of toasts came one after another in the palace, and it became lively again.
While no one was paying attention, Shen Chumu turned his head to look at Shen Ruzhou and whispered: "How is your relationship with Xiao Chenyan? How are you doing in the palace?"
He looked at his sister with a worried look on his face, "Don't think about reporting good news or bad news. I am your brother. Tell me the truth."
Shen Ruzhou looked at his brother's serious expression and guessed that Xiao Chenyan must have said something just now that made his brother suspicious.
She originally didn't want her family to worry, but since her brother had already mentioned this, she had obviously noticed it. Besides, the matter of reconciliation couldn't be kept secret for long, so it would be better to just explain it directly.
"Brother, I don't have a good relationship with Xiao Chenyan. He didn't want to marry me in the first place, but he reluctantly got married because of the imperial edict."
She said, carefully looking at Shen Chumu's expression, "He didn't treat me well, and he didn't even treat me as a princess. Now I have figured it out. He and I are really not suitable. I want to divorce, but I have always been unable to do so." It didn’t work out.”
Shen Chumu was angry and distressed after hearing this, "No wonder you said you regretted marrying when you came home last time. I just thought it was you who had a temper. Tell me, did Xiao Chenyan bully you?"
Shen Ruzhou was reminded by her brother's words. After marrying Xiao Chenyan in her previous life, she had never been happy for a day. Not only was she bullied by Xiao Chenyan and Mu Wanqing sisters, but she even implicated her father and brother...
Seeing his sister's lonely look, Shen Chumu already had the answer in his heart. He punched the table with hatred, "This Xiao Chenyan dares to bully my sister. I must make him look good!"
