The gloom in Prince Chen's palace dissipated, and the couple, who had been holding on to the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, began to plan a plan to compete with the husband based on his son's wealth.
However, Prince Yu's palace, which had been completely plotted, was filled with the aura of imminent disaster.
When the news came that the Duke of Guo was sentenced, King Yu's anger that he had suppressed all day finally broke out. He raised his hand and swept the tea cup off the table: "Idiot!"
Zhao Yunling was so frightened that he almost jumped out of bed.
Her face turned pale, and she looked at King Yu with fear in her eyes, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball unconsciously.
"Are you stupid? You don't even know if you are being used as a swordsman!" King Yu turned to point at her, his eyes full of dark anger, "What kind of good thing is Princess Chen? Those words she made up in front of your grandmother, only you can tell her Only that brainless idiot Zhao Yunrou would take it seriously. She just deliberately sows dissension. She can't even see through this, which shows what kind of idiots you Zhao family are!"
Zhao Yunling's eyes were red and her face was as pale as paper. She stood on the edge of the bed and did not dare to refute a word.
"Prince Chen has deep thoughts, and Princess Chen has ulterior motives, but you trust them so much. Sooner or later, you will be tricked by them to the point where you won't even have any bones left!"
Princess Yu bit her lip: "But when Princess Zhan ordered someone to slap Yun Rou, Princess Chen... she also dissuaded her..."
"Dissuade? Of course she has to dissuade her, otherwise how can she show that she is a good person?" King Yu looked at her coldly, "Since she knows how to be a good person, why didn't she dissuade Zhao Yunrou when he started to insult Chu Yunfei? Because the following offender is a A handle! Do you know what a handle is? That is evidence that can put your Zhao family to death!"
Zhao Yunling looked at him stiffly and uneasily, tears welling up in his eyes, but he held it back and did not dare to cry.
In front of so many people during the day, she was slapped to the ground. She felt aggrieved and embarrassed. She stayed in the room all day without going out or drinking water. She resented King Yu for humiliating her in public.
She originally thought she could wait until King Yu came to coax her and take the initiative to apologize. However, after waiting for a long time and no one was seen, she waited until the maid hurriedly came to report that the emperor had issued a decree to punish the Zhao family.
Zhao Yunling lost all his temper, his face turned pale with fright, and he was almost out of his mind.
King Yu hurried over after getting the news, pointed at her nose and cursed her again, with a stern voice and no mercy.
Only then did she truly realize the seriousness of the matter, but it was too late. The Zhao family was condemned, and King Yu was so angry that he turned blue. She was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it...
"Let me ask you," King Yu took a deep breath before barely suppressing his anger, "Who brought up the tea party today?"
Princess Yu blinked away the mist from her eyes and replied in a choked voice: "Fifth Princess."
"Is Rong Jinyue a good person? She is full of bad intentions!" King Yu said coldly, "Don't interact with them anymore. With your brain, you will be betrayed by them sooner or later without even knowing!"
Zhao Yunling nodded subconsciously, and the words rolled around in his throat several times, but finally he spoke softly: "Then what should we do in the future? It is a small matter that my father and second uncle were fined three months' salary, but if we lose the emperor's trust, Zhao Yunling will From now on, I’m just afraid of... I’m just afraid of..."
"You also know the consequences will be serious?"
Zhao Yunling lowered his head and said nothing, regretting all the time in his heart.
"Stay away from Chu Yunfei from now on, and don't get together with her unless necessary." Prince Yu said with a gloomy face, "Although she is not favored in front of the imperial concubine, she is courageous. Don't provoke her."
Zhao Yunling pursed his lips and couldn't help but feel resentful: "Then you can just endure the injustice suffered by the Zhao family this time?"
"This is Princess Chen's purpose." King Yu looked at her coldly, "Zhao Yunrou insulted her in public. She slapped Zhao Yunrou. The matter came to the emperor. The emperor asked the truth. The Zhao family was punished. With you and your My sister’s temper, will she hold a grudge over this matter? Once she holds a grudge, the final blunder will become more serious, until the quarrel becomes endless."
Princess Chen took advantage of the quarrels between women to form small grudges, which turned into big things, big things into hatred, and eventually they became mortal enemies.
Zhao Yunling thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, but it was indeed difficult for her to really swallow this breath.
"Revenge does not necessarily mean you have to do something yourself, and you don't have to rush it." King Yu softened his tone, "Since Princess Chen wants to use your hands to deal with Chu Yunfei, it is obvious that she is afraid of Princess Zhan, or in other words, afraid of Princess Chen. War King."
Princess Yu frowned: "But aren't King Chen and King Zhan brothers?"
King Yu's face turned green, and his heart was filled with anger.
It's really hard for him to believe that he married such a fool back.
"What's wrong with my brothers? Is it comparable to power or glory and wealth?" King Yu sneered, "King Chen is very ambitious, and the military power held by King Zhan can be both a boost and a hindrance to him. , so he didn’t dare to openly oppose the King of War, so he thought of using our hands to fight the King of War so that both sides would suffer.”
Princess Yu's heart sank slightly, and she suddenly felt frightened.
She never expected that a tea party would have so many plots hidden in it. Thinking of Princess Chen and the Fifth Princess's kindness in front of her, and their gentle and courteous attitude in front of her grandmother, she couldn't believe it for a moment that they were actually secretly talking about it. The ground plots against the Zhao family.
What a vicious mind.
"I will take the time to accompany you home tomorrow." King Yu suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Prepare more supplements to make your grandmother feel better. Don't worry about this punishment. You can endure it if you have to. Don't No matter how easy it is to mislead others."
When Princess Yu heard what he said, she felt ashamed: "I have no brains, so I have to worry about you."
King Yu said coldly: "The Duke Protector's Palace and this king are both prosperous and destructive. Don't I bother to wait for death?"
Zhao Yunling choked and was so blocked that he couldn't say a word.
…
When Rong Cang returned to Shuanghuayuan, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Chu Yunfei was sitting in front of the bed reading a book. The soft light illuminated her calm and elegant face. Her skin was as white as jade, quiet and peaceful.
Rong Cang stood at the screen and watched, feeling that his chest was full, full and satisfied as he had never felt before.
"I have asked people to prepare hot water." Chu Yunfei said calmly, "Your Majesty has been recovering from his injuries these days and has not been able to take a good hot bath. Please take a good soak tonight, otherwise I don't want you on this bed."
When Rong Cang heard these words, he instantly relaxed after a long day's work and raised a slight smile on his lips: "How dare you disobey the princess when she says it?"
With that said, he turned around and went to the closet to get his underwear.
Chu Yunfei raised her eyes slightly and watched his movements calmly. Seeing that he had no intention of calling anyone in to serve him, she asked, "Your Majesty, you don't need anyone to serve you?"
"No need." Rong Cang said calmly, "It's not convenient."
He was not used to using servants. After ten years on the battlefield, he had already developed the habit of doing things by himself. During the half year he lived in Jinlin Court, he only had Changqing to take care of him.
Now that she has moved to Shuanghuayuan, it is inconvenient for Changqing to enter the room. Rong Cang hates the maid approaching, so she only plans to wash herself.
Taking the clothes to the bath pavilion, Rong Cang undressed skillfully, took off the layers of clothes on his body, and stepped into the bathtub.
Chu Yunfei put down her book, stood up and walked over. Through the gauze curtain, she could vaguely see the tall and thin figure, with a narrow waist, broad shoulders, and raised hips. She couldn't help but cough slightly.
The sound of water flowing into his eardrums made Rong Cang sit down in the large tub.
Chu Yunfei lifted up the gauze and smiled faintly: "Do you need me to wait for the prince to take a bath?"
