The imperial concubine's sedan chair was carried directly into the house, and then the mother-in-law helped the imperial concubine get out of the sedan chair. The imperial concubine was now a little thin and torn, as if she would fall over if a gust of wind blew, but her face did not look so good.

Like people who are seriously ill, they are extremely red.

The maids helped the Crown Princess to get out of the sedan chair, and the Crown Princess said she wanted to salute the old prince and Su. Su quickly said no courtesy and had people help the Crown Princess to sit on a chair. The Crown Princess

On the chair, I was a little out of breath and couldn't sit firmly, so I had to have a little girl to support me.

King Yongjing frowned, but he did not speak.

"...Why are you here? You're just getting better, you should have a good rest." Mrs. Su complained about the Crown Princess, her tone and expression full of concern.

"My father-in-law and my mother-in-law are worried about my daughter-in-law's illness." The imperial concubine said slowly, her voice sounding weak, and she had to stop to take a breath halfway through her words.

"I know you are a polite and lovable child. It's just that after going through all this, your body has suffered. Even if you have something to say, you send someone here. We did the same thing in the past." Su Shi said.

"Your mother and concubine are right. Why come out like this? It will only make us more worried." King Yongjing also said. Hearing what the Crown Princess said, Mrs. Su quickly waved her hands to tell the Crown Princess not to say such depressing words.

"It's been like this for so many years. If ordinary people don't have such abilities, that's fine. As long as we can find people like us in this world, we can find them. You will still have a long life in the future.

Don't think about yourself, but also think about the prince, Jin'er and his father and son. I feel relieved now. When you get better, we can also feel relieved." Mrs. Su said earnestly.

"You can cure the disease, but you can't cure your life." The imperial concubine grinned again. Her desolate look became more and more obvious. "I am the one who is dragging me down..."

"Don't say such things." Mrs. Su quickly stopped the imperial concubine from talking, and asked the imperial concubine again, "Just tell me what you want to eat."

"I don't need anything to eat. My father, the Queen, mother and concubine have already worried enough about me." The Crown Princess said.

"If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about? If you are considerate of us, we will get better soon. If you have any requests, just ask." Su sighed. The imperial concubine was weak and spoke in a low voice. Liu

Ruo Si and others were sitting on the side, trying their best to hold their breath, for fear that if they exhaled in one breath, all the words of the Crown Princess would be swept away. Just like Su Shi said, the Crown Princess has just escaped from danger, what's the big deal?

I must go through such trouble to come to Chunhui Hall. Naturally, it is not to express my gratitude to Prince Yongjing and the Su family.

The Crown Princess has something important to say, and in order to appear solemn, Prince Yongjing and the Su family must agree to her, so they go to such great lengths.

Liu Ruosi glanced at the Crown Princess, feeling curious.

"Good child. Speak slowly and don't be in a hurry. As long as we can do it, your father and I will definitely agree to it." Su said hurriedly, and asked someone to bring her ginseng soup to the Crown Princess.

.

The Crown Princess refused to drink the ginseng soup. After a long while, she finally breathed.

"...I have a body like this, and I also have Jin'er. I want to have a caring person by my side to help take care of me." The Crown Princess gasped, "I beg my father, my mother, please allow my mother's family to send someone."...

"Why do you need to say this like this?" King Yongjing said, "Just send people there. It's just going to trouble the in-laws."

In the past few days when the imperial concubine was seriously ill, the Su family had sent people to visit her several times. When the imperial concubine woke up, the Su family's people stayed for a long time before going back.

"I'll send someone to tell you right now," Su said.

"Others can just pay it forward," the Crown Princess raised her hand, then lowered it feebly, "Be sure to ask the seventh sister if she can come. In recent years, she has been taking care of her daughter-in-law, and she is the most caring to her.

My son is also dedicated."

After the Crown Princess finished speaking these words, she seemed to have finally exhausted all her strength. She closed her eyes and just leaned on the back of the chair, her breath getting weaker and weaker.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

It seemed that something important had happened. Liu Ruosi subconsciously looked at Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan had no expression on his face. He just saw Liu Ruosi looking over and nodded slightly to Liu Ruosi. This made Liu Ruosi

Si felt relieved and told Liu Ruosi not to say anything.

Without Rong Chenghan's hints and warnings, Liu Ruosi knew that now was not the time for her to speak.

After the Crown Princess finished speaking, no one spoke, especially Su, who actually shut up at this moment. However, although Su didn't speak, she looked at Rong Chengyi.

It seems that in this matter, Su can't make the decision on his own, and depends on Rong Chengyi's wishes.

However, Rong Chengyi did not speak. At this time, the room had already turned on the lights. Under the candlelight, Rong Chengyi's face was dim and unclear, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking at the moment. The old prince also remained silent and did not speak.

"The Crown Princess is ill, thanks to the Crown Prince taking care of her at the bedside every day." Su Shi coughed twice and said slowly.

The Crown Princess slowly opened her eyes again and glanced at Rong Chengyi with great effort.

"I have nothing to say to ask someone from my uncle's family to help take care of her." Rong Chengyi finally said, "I just specifically wanted to call her Seventh Sister, so there's no need. Seventh Sister is in her prime, so we can't delay her because of us."

As Rong Chengyi finished speaking, the Crown Princess suddenly gasped violently. As she gasped, her face became even redder, and tears actually flowed from her eyes.

The little girl on the side was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. Rong Chengyi also stood up and walked quickly to the imperial concubine. Rong Chengyi leaned down, held the imperial concubine's shoulders, and seemed to whisper in the imperial concubine's ear again.

After doing something, the Crown Princess slowly settled down.

Liu Ruosi was on the side and could only vaguely hear the sentence "Don't breathe and think wildly", but the rest was unclear.

However, the Crown Princess did not change her words because of this. Instead, her attitude became even firmer.

"After I got married, my father, queen, mother, and concubines loved me, and the prince also respected me and loved me. Now... I only think about this. The seventh sister and I have a deep love for each other, and they will definitely not complain. And..." The prince

The concubine's last words were kept in her mouth. "It won't delay her for too long."

Rong Chengyi lowered his head, King Yongjing frowned, and Mrs. Su sighed.

It seemed that there were some things that everyone knew very well. Liu Ruosi also vaguely grasped something, but it was not easy to ask about it now.

Rong Chengyi didn't say anything, and the old prince didn't say anything. Su made the decision and immediately sent people to the Su Mansion. Passing on the Crown Princess's words, the Su family asked the Su family to send Su Qingnuan to accompany the Crown Princess.

If this request was made by the Su family, Liu Ruosi thought that even if she didn't speak, Rong Chenghan would speak up and stop her, and the old prince should be able to stand on their side. However, this request was made by the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess's life was in jeopardy, and no one could refuse her request.

After Su's instructions, it was obvious that the Crown Princess could not hold on any longer. Rong Chengyi hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to King Yongjing and Su, and accompanied the Crown Princess back to Rongyuan Hall.

Liu Ruosi and Rong Chenghan also resigned and returned to Yunshui.

When they arrived at the house, the two of them didn't speak until they sat on the couch. Aunt Chang brought someone to bring tea and fruits, and she noticed that the two people's expressions were wrong. She secretly looked at Liu Ruosi.

Aunt Chang advised Liu Ruosi not to play tricks with Rong Chenghan anymore.

Liu Ruosi nodded to Aunt Chang, signaling that Aunt Chang was fine. Aunt Chang looked at Rong Chenghan's face again, then quietly retreated, calling out the two girls Liu Yue and La Yue.

.

"Isn't this the first time this matter has been mentioned?" Liu Ruosi asked Rong Chenghan while peeling the fruit nonchalantly.

Rong Chenghan didn't need Liu Ruosi to elaborate, but he already understood what Liu Ruosi was referring to.

"I've never mentioned it." At least, I've never mentioned it openly. Moreover, this is also the first time that the Crown Princess has taken the initiative to say such words.

Although I have never mentioned it, this idea has been around for a long time. As for when, even Rong Chenghan couldn't tell clearly, because he was not very old at that time. He was not even old enough to take the initiative to pay attention to these things.

The age of the matter. And who first had such an idea, it is impossible to say clearly now. This is an undercurrent in the palace. No one will ever speak openly about it, but there are many people who know about it.

.

Of course, this was in the early years. After all, the Crown Princess was not in good health when she married into the palace. Later, she gave birth to Rong Jin, and her health became even more frail. However, in recent years, although the Crown Princess's body is weak, she has become increasingly stable.

There were even signs of improvement, so this undercurrent was deliberately suppressed, and no one dared to talk about it.

Because Rong Chenghan had been away from Beijing for several years, he did not have accurate information about the development of this matter. Later, the Su family planned to marry Su Qingnuan to him. Rong Chenghan thought that the Su family and the Su family had changed their minds, so he did not

Tell Liu Ruosi this old story.

After hearing Rong Chenghan tell the whole story, Liu Ruosi pondered for a long time.

"Actually, the Crown Princess is not willing, is she?" Liu Ruosi asked Rong Chenghan again.

Rong Chenghan raised his eyebrows. He regarded this matter as an old thing and did not take the initiative to tell Liu Ruosi. On the one hand, he did not know the exact news, and on the other hand, he was a little impatient about this matter. The Crown Prince

The concubine's temperament was inherently awkward, and Rong Chenghan was impatient to explore the psychology of ordinary women, let alone the psychology of the imperial concubine.

Rong Chenghan had always been afraid of avoiding the feuds and disputes in Rongyuantang.

"Asi, in this regard, I trust your judgment more." Rong Chenghan simply said to Liu Ruosi. He believed that with Liu Ruosi's carefulness and intelligence, he should be able to make the right decisions after gradually integrating into the life of the palace.

judgment.

Liu Ruosi was helpless and sighed, but she did not blame Rong Chenghan. As a woman, she found it very difficult to understand the imperial concubine, let alone Rong Chenghan.

"I think my sister-in-law still hopes that she can survive." However, Rong Chenghan still said.

No matter who is in the position of the Crown Princess, they will have such thoughts. This is definitely not wrong. Liu Ruosi also nodded. Even if he is deeply in love with sister Su Qingnuan, even if he trusts Su Qingnuan again,

, but as a wife and mother, the Crown Princess’s first choice is to stay with her husband and personally take care of her son as he grows up.

Su Qingnuan was just a choice made out of desperation.

After all, she is her sister, and she and Rongjin are connected by blood. The relationship between the palace and the Su family will not change, and Rongjin's maternal family will not change. Compared with others, Su Qingnuan is naturally a better choice. Moreover,

Judging from Liu Ruosi's observations after entering the palace, Su Qingnuan was really considerate and caring towards the Crown Princess and Rong Jin.

However, this kind of thoughtfulness and concern has a prerequisite.

"Seventh sister knows about this arrangement. Is she willing to do it?" Liu Ruosi asked Rong Chenghan.

"Ah Si, are you still asking me this question? Haven't you noticed yet?" Rong Chenghan's lips curled up in a mocking arc.

Su Qingnuan's thoughtfulness and concern for the Crown Princess and Rong Jin had reached a deliberate level, and Liu Ruosi certainly wouldn't have noticed it. Liu Ruosi looked up and saw the sarcasm on Rong Chenghan's face, and she immediately felt blessed.

"I understand." Liu Ruosi clapped her hands.

"What did you understand?" Rong Chenghan asked.

"The Crown Princess matter has developed to this point, which is actually a bit embarrassing, isn't it?" Liu Ruosi looked at Rong Chenghan with some sympathy.

Perhaps when the Crown Princess was critically ill for the first time, someone had the idea to let Su Qingnuan take over the Crown Princess's position. However, the Crown Princess survived, and this lasted for many years.

.As Su Qingnuan grew older, although the Crown Princess was weak, she still lived strong.

It is precisely because of this that the palace firmly suppresses this undercurrent, and Su Shi loves Su Qingnuan so much. Su Shi's extraordinary love for Su Qingnuan does not include any apology or compensation. Seeing the Crown Princess

He would still live, but Rong Chenghan happened to come back at this time, and he also got a title and a high position of power. Su even had the idea of ​​betrothing Su Qingnuan to Rong Chenghan.

In this way, it can be regarded as a good compensation for Su Qingnuan.

It turns out that the Su family regarded Rong Chenghan as compensation for Su Qingnuan. No wonder Rong Chenghan objected so firmly and became more and more distant from the Su family. Rong Chenghan's ridicule was precisely aimed at this matter.

.No wonder he didn’t want to mention this matter.

"You proposed to my father because you were afraid that your mother-in-law would give you to Seventh Sister?" Liu Ruosi looked at Rong Chenghan and asked with a smile, "Actually, you don't hate Seventh Sister and don't want to marry her.

, is it because of the mother-in-law’s attitude?”
