On March 9th, the weather was not very good.
The drizzle of rain never stopped.
It was wet outside, and there was a layer of crystal water on the treetops and roof ridges.
Rong Cang had been drinking medicine for a few days, and his injuries were recovering quickly. Except for applying medicine on his back, he no longer needed Chu Yunfei's personal care. He could handle it by himself.
In the rainy weather, Chu Yunfei likes to stay alone in the cubicle, making a pot of tea, reading a book, and occasionally facing the drizzle outside the window to be alone for a while.
There is an indescribable comfort and ease.
It might be more pleasant if no one disturbs you.
Rong Cang opened the curtain and walked in, slowly sat down beside her, reached out to lift the teapot in front of her, and poured himself a cup of tea.
The strong medicinal fragrance lingers into the nostrils.
Chu Yunfei turned her eyes to look at him: "Can you sit on the prince's butt?"
Rong Cang's expression paused and he calmly took a sip of tea: "I hurt my back."
"Indeed." Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes, "I think I talk too much."
"No." Rong Cang said subconsciously, "You can say a few more words, I like to hear it."
Like to listen?
A hint of indifference passed over the corner of Chu Yunfei's mouth, and she looked out the window again, not interested in continuing to tell him.
"It's raining a lot today. If you take a walk in the rain, you should have a different mood." Rong Cang had nothing to say.
Chu Yunfei's voice was indifferent: "Your Majesty, you want to go for a walk in the rain with your lover despite your newly scarred wounds?"
Rong Cang: "..."
"Do you need me to send someone to call Chu Yunjiao?"
Rong Cang pursed his lips: "In such a quiet moment, do you have to mention someone who ruins the atmosphere?"
"Isn't she your sweetheart?" Chu Yun Fei said calmly, "Now that the prince also has a concubine, he should be happy. After all, he enjoys the endless kindness of beauty."
Rong Cang frowned and thought, always feeling that the woman with ulterior motives should be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise she would always be a thorn in Yun Fei's heart.
It was just that in order to force Chu Yunfei to leave, he put in a whole show to get a woman he hated into the palace. Only a few days later, he had to find a way to get her out.
For the first time in his life, Rong Cang felt that he had slapped himself, which was probably how he felt at this moment.
And the slap came too quickly.
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes." Rong Cang looked down at the tea cup in his hand and tried to reason with her, "Although a man keeps his word, I am also an ordinary person. Ordinary people will inevitably make mistakes. As long as they know their mistakes If you make up for it in time, you can still be forgiven once, what do you think?"
Chu Yunfei said nothing and looked out the window quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I haven't found out the clues before, so I don't dare to take risks with you." Rong Cang's voice was low, "Even though the imperial concubine has been treating me coldly and harshly, I never thought that she would plot against me."
Chu Yunfei's eyebrows moved slightly, thinking of what Grandma Xiong said that day, she said calmly: "Were you not close to the imperial concubine when you were young?"
Rong Cang was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Maybe I'm not born to get along."
"Have you ever thought that you and King Chen are both the sons of a noble concubine? Why does she only like King Chen and plan for him at all costs, but she is not affectionate to you at all?"
Rong Cang's eyebrows showed a bit of ridicule: "Who knows what she is thinking in her heart?"
Perhaps the authorities are obsessed with it, but bystanders know better.
Chu Yunfei stretched out her hand to caress her belly, and deep thoughts flashed in her eyes.
As a mother, without any taboos, accidents, rumors of conflict between mother and child, and many other reasons, any normal mother should naturally love her child.
What's more, the royal family has always valued mother and son, and one more son means more protection.
Furthermore, Rong Cang can now hold 400,000 soldiers as a prince, which proves that he must have been at least somewhat talented when he was young, smart, resourceful, calm and magnanimous.
Even the emperor would be proud of such a prince - otherwise he would not trust him enough to let Rong Cang control 400,000 troops.
Therefore, the imperial concubine had no reason to treat him harshly, both in terms of emotion and reason, in public and private matters.
unless……
An incredible guess flashed through Chu Yunfei's mind, and she felt that it was not surprising at all that such a secret happened to the royal family.
"Princess, Princess." Mother Xiong's respectful voice suddenly sounded outside Nuan Pavilion, "The Duke Protector's Office sent a message, saying that the old lady is celebrating her birthday on March 12th, and she invites the prince and princess to attend the banquet."
Chu Yunfei hummed: "I understand, just leave the post."
"Yes." Grandma Xiong quickly excused herself.
Chu Yunfei ignored the invitation and had no intention of going to the banquet anyway.
Just as she was about to pick up the tea cup, Chang Qing came in a hurry and stood in front of the door to report: "Princess Princess."
Rong Cang frowned when he heard the sound: "Chang Qing has become more and more outrageous recently. Can't you tell who his master is?"
"Your Majesty, you can set some rules for him when you have time." Chu Yunfei said, putting down the tea cup, stood up and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion.
Changqing stood in front of the door, with an umbrella standing by the door.
Seeing Chu Yunfei coming out, he respectfully presented a piece of information: "News about the return of Langya City."
Chu Yunfei paused slightly: "So fast?"
Chang Qing said in a proud tone: "The secret guards are all strictly trained. They have fast feet and strong physical strength. They travel day and night, so they are naturally much faster than ordinary spies."
"Yes." Chu Yunfei nodded, "Thanks for their hard work."
"That's not necessary, it's all their responsibility." Changqing coughed lightly, as if discussing with her, "It's just that the secret guards were all trained by the prince, and this time it can be regarded as indirect help from the prince. Does the princess want to be nice to the prince?" a little?"
In the Nuan Pavilion, Rong Cang's fingers holding the tea cup paused and he couldn't help being unhappy.
Do you want him to talk too much about things between them?
Chu Yunfei frowned: "I am pregnant, and I personally apply medicine on his body every day, and also serve the soup. Isn't that good enough for him?"
Rong Cang closed his eyes and fell silent, unable to help but start to reflect on himself.
"No, that's not what I mean." Chang Qing shook his head quickly, and his voice lowered unconsciously, "It's mainly a matter of attitude... The injured person is emotionally unstable. If the princess can smile at the prince often, will the prince be able to Get better faster?"
Even if you personally serve him, if his expression and tone are cold, it will be difficult for people to feel warm, right?
"It is a wife's duty to take care of her husband, but it is not her duty to accompany her with a smiling face." Chu Yunfei sneered, "Besides, he is going to divorce me, so why should I accompany him with a smiling face?"
After saying that, she turned around and walked back to the Nuan Pavilion with the information. Without even looking at Rong Cang's gaze, she said calmly: "Your Majesty, you can go out now."
Rong Cang's tone was calm: "Fei'er doesn't need to take what Chang Qing said to heart."
Feier?
Chu Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that Rong Cang seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. He suddenly became so numb, which was completely inconsistent with the cold and taciturn style of the King of War.
Chu Yunfei slandered, but remained calm on his face. He raised his eyes and asked, "My lord, do you think I'm not treating you well?"
Rong Cang shook his head: "No."
"I also think it's very good. Not only does he serve the soup attentively, but he also generously brings in all the concubines for you. One should be content."
Rong Cang: "..." He didn't say he was dissatisfied.
It would be better if he could be given a chance to make amends.
"Fei'er." Rong Cangzhen said hesitantly, "What else happened in the dream you told me before?"
"Your Majesty, you want me to recall those unforgettable pains over and over again?" Chu Yunfei said in a cold tone, "Don't you think it's cruel?"
The air was slightly condensed, and the surrounding temperature seemed to be on a downward trend.
Rong Cang pursed his lips: "I'm sorry."
"...Then the prince died." Chu Yunfei lowered his eyes and spoke indifferently, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "After losing my child, I stayed in Langya City for seven years with hatred. I originally wanted to choose the opportunity. Come back and ask the prince for a clear explanation, whether it is to raise an army to investigate the crime, or to take revenge... But there is no chance, the prince killed the king at a palace banquet, and everyone in the Zhan Prince's palace was killed, and then King Chen ascended the throne and became the emperor."
Rong Cang's expression changed slightly, and his hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly unconsciously.
Is this a dream?
The number "seven years" is so accurate that one can't help but wonder, is this a dream or something that really happened?
Or is it just a warning?
Killing a king at a palace banquet sounds unbelievable, but Rong Cang knew in his heart that if the poison in his body was really intractable and allowed to grow and ferment, becoming more and more ferocious day by day, then taking away His sanity is not an unimaginable thing.
Also, Dr. Liu and his daughter were ordered to tamper with his decoctions and ointments. Since they could make him addicted, could they also mess with his mind and make him completely irritable, crazy, and crazy day after day? A lunatic with no sense at all?
The color in Rong Cang's eyes became colder and colder to the bone.
What a vicious mind.
His mother-in-law really tried her best to control him and even harmed him.
He didn't know why he believed Chu Yunfei's dream so easily, but his intuition told him that those were things that were very likely to happen.
"I will not let the dream come true." Rong Cang narrowed his eyes, and his voice became a little darker, "Although I don't know how I made her hate me, you are my wife, and you are carrying my child in your belly. Children, it is my responsibility to protect you, mother and child."
Chu Yunfei sneered: "If I accepted the prince's divorce letter that day and left Prince Zhan's Mansion, the child might be gone by now. What would the prince do to protect us?"
Regret flashed across Rong Cang's eyes, and his voice was calm: "I will make up for it with actions."
Chu Yunfei said nothing and looked at the information in his hand silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
