After having lunch at the palace, Ji Ziyi stood up and left, deciding to go out and find a place to stay first.
Chu Yunfei stood up and said, "Cousin, why not stay in the palace? It will be more convenient to have servants running errands."
"There are many people with mixed eyes, and living in the palace arouses speculation." Ji Ziyi shook his head, "And I also need to find some medicinal materials."
"Cousin, you can write down the medicinal materials you need, and I'll send someone to find them."
"Need not."
"Then..." Chu Yunfei thought for a while, "Then I will ask someone to get some money for my cousin. After all, I can't let your hard work go in vain and you have to pay for the medicine yourself..."
"There is no need for silver." Ji Ziyi said, glancing at Rong Cang with a hint, "The silver the King of War sent to Langya City is enough for my cousin to have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life."
Chu Yunfei was startled and turned to look at Rong Cang subconsciously.
Rong Cang avoided her gaze and drank tea silently, his eyebrows calm.
"I'm leaving first." Ji Ziyi walked out calmly, "My cousin, there's no need to see me off."
Chu Yunfei sent him outside the courtyard and called Changqing: "Send Mr. Ji out of the house."
"yes."
Chu Yunfei turned back to the house and said in a leisurely tone: "Since the prince has made preparations for my prosperity and wealth in the second half of my life, I will definitely live up to his wishes."
Rong Cang's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly.
"When the prince is cured of the poison and is no longer restrained by others, I will accept the divorce letter, take the children with my cousin to Langya City, and spend the rest of my life there -"
"No need." Rong Cang put down the tea cup and said in a low voice, "When the poison is removed, I will be able to protect you. You don't need to leave the palace."
Chu Yunfei said calmly: "You don't need it if you say you don't?"
Rong Cang stood up and walked in front of her. He was tall and thin, half a head taller than Chu Yunfei. The oppressive feeling he had gained from leading the army for many years shrouded her, as if he was tightly trapped in his heavy gaze, making people helpless. Escaped form.
"What should I do to calm you down?" Rong Cang looked at her seriously, his voice low and magnetic, "As long as you say it, I will do it."
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the prince say that he would never regret it?"
Rong Cang was silent. If the poison remained unsolved, he would indeed not regret his decision. However, no matter what the reason was for him to write the divorce letter, the harm caused to her could not be denied.
"I was wrong." Rong Cang admitted his mistake straightforwardly, showing the responsibility of a man, "You can do whatever you want."
Chu Yunfei squinted at him: "Does the prince keep his word?"
"The truth is."
"From now on, I will be the master of the outside and you will be the master of the house."
Rong Cang's expression was subtle: "You want to take away my military power?"
Chu Yunfei: "..."
"I'm afraid the soldiers won't obey you." Rong Cang frowned, obviously thinking that this was an impossible thing, "And you -"
"Why do I need your military power?" Chu Yunfei sneered, turned around and walked out, "I don't know how to fight."
"Whether you are in charge or not, you have the final say." Rong Cang stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, his strong arms tightly clamping her slender body, "It was all my fault in the past, I promise that no matter what happens in the future I will face everything together with you, and I will never think of pushing you away."
Chu Yunfei pressed against his broad and hard chest, feeling the cold and iron-blooded breath on his body, and her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
They had been married for a year, and even in the warm and harmonious half-year before, they had never behaved in such an inappropriate manner.
Rong Cang, the prince, was cold and self-possessed in person, and he respected and cared for Chu Yunfei, but he had never behaved in such a domineering and rude manner. The couple treated each other with respect during the day, and only had intimate behaviors after turning off the lights at night, unlike now...
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes and said in a calm voice: "Will you take concubines in the future?"
"No." Rong Cang hugged her tightly with his long arms and solemnly promised, "I promise."
"Will you find other women to make me angry?"
Rong Cang's eyes flashed with shame: "No way."
"Can you write a letter of divorce?"
"No." After Rong Cang finished speaking, there was a trace of disgust on his face, "Send Chu Yunjiao back earlier. I don't want her to stay in the palace and watch Ge Ying."
Chu Yunfei's heart moved slightly, and her anger was half gone: "She can't be put back yet."
Rong Cang frowned: "Why?"
"I need her to do something." Chu Yun Fei's eyes were cold, "King Chen dares to use such vicious means to plot against us, is this all?"
She has already said, treat others in their own way.
Even if Rong Cang Gu's poison was cured, King Chen would still have to pay the price for what he had done.
Rong Cang didn't know what she planned to do, and was about to ask when Butler Cheng hurriedly came outside: "Prince, Princess, there is a decree from the palace, and the prince is summoned to the palace immediately."
Chu Yunfei pushed Rong Cang away and said thoughtfully: "The emperor must have heard about what happened in Prince Yu's Mansion today and summoned you to the palace for questioning."
Calculating the time, it was just enough time for the Zhao family to go to the palace and file a complaint.
Rong Cang said: "You rest at home, I will go to the palace to have a look."
"I'll go with you." Chu Yunfei said in a calm tone, "The cause of the incident was me and the Zhao family girl. You don't know the inside story. When you are reprimanded by the emperor, do you know how to defend yourself?"
As she said that, she turned to the housekeeper and said, "Prepare the carriage first. Your Majesty and I will go out immediately."
"yes."
"You are pregnant, so you should stay at home and have a good rest." Rong Cang frowned slightly, "You run out several times a day, just in case..."
"Your Majesty finally started to worry about his child?" Chu Yunfei glanced at him sideways, "I'm glad."
Rong Cang: "..."
"But who said you have to have a good rest when you're pregnant?" Chu Yunfei turned around and walked out, "There's no harm in walking around more. Besides, aren't we riding in a carriage?"
Rong Cang had no choice but to let her go along.
After walking out of the palace gate, Rong Cang ignored the servants standing around him, hugged Chu Yunfei, and jumped onto the carriage.
However, Chu Yunfei was startled by his sudden movement and subconsciously hugged his neck to prevent herself from falling.
The two people looked at each other, their feelings surging silently. The estrangement and resentment caused by the divorce letter these days disappeared silently, and the distance seemed to suddenly become much closer.
Rong Cang hugged her and entered the carriage.
Shengxia and Baochan, who were standing outside the carriage, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The prince and princess seemed to have cleared up after the rain, and they just hoped that there would be no more bad blood in the future.
The carriage moved slowly.
Chu Yunfei sat in the carriage and told Rong Cang the cause and effect of the incident in detail. At the end, she said coldly: "The Zhao family is not taking any responsibility for this matter. Even if they are evil people and file a complaint first, I have nothing to fear."
Rong Cang stared at her firm brows, with a smile in his eyes: "Father is not an unreasonable person, don't worry."
"If Father doesn't know the truth, we will tell him the truth. He is a wise king and will not make unfair decisions." Chu Yunfei said with a faint expression, "If the noble concubine summons us, the outcome will be easier to predict. Because she doesn’t care what the truth is and will only find ways to make things difficult for you.”
Rong Cang narrowed his eyes: "I was born in the palace and have a noble status. I have experienced more than you since I was a child. I have seen more darkness than you. I went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen. I have learned a lot about intrigues, but I am not as good as you who married me." The palace has been able to see clearly for a year, and I am extremely ashamed."
"Your Majesty is just a fan of the authorities." Chu Yunfei said in a calm tone, "What's more, that person is his mother. Who in the world can easily disobey his mother?"
