As a result, when Chu Suifeng returned to the palace and saw Rong Heqing being carried in, his face suddenly darkened.

Wanzhu and Zheliu were horrified and carefully helped Rong Heqing down from the sedan chair and moved her to the bed. Rong Heqing was in so much pain from the wound that he grimaced and looked hideous.

Chu Suifeng gritted his teeth and sneered, "Hey, the hero is back?"

Rong Heqing: "..."

Rong Qiao: “Puff——”

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Suifeng glared at him, "Are you happy that she was injured?"

Rong Qiao: "I didn't—"

"Then why are you laughing, laughing, laughing? What's so funny about that? Does it make you look like you've grown teeth?"

Rong Heqing was stunned. Could it be that Xiao Chu had such a sharp-tongued side?

Wanzhu and Zheliu were also stunned. Before, Chu Suifeng was always taciturn in front of them, and they thought he was cold and introverted and didn't like to talk. It turned out that he was not unwilling to talk, but just didn't find the opportunity to speak?

Rong Qiao, who was scolded so badly, couldn't get a word in. He was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Chu Suifeng and said, "You you you you——"

"I, I, I, I, what? You stutter after going out? You're so useless that you should just stay at home and avoid having others clean up your mess all the time!"

Rong Qiao: “…”

His eyes turned red and he was about to cry.

Chu Suifeng laughed angrily: "Cry, cry, cry, how old are you? You only know how to cry when you encounter problems. Do you have any ambition? When I was your age, I could already walk around the world on my own. What about you? Besides crying, what else can you do? You can't write articles clearly, and you are confused about riding and shooting. Even with this, you still have the nerve to say that you are the son of the King of Annan? I'm ashamed for you!"

Rong Qiao: “Wow, wow, wow—”

He couldn't hold back his tears and ran out of the door.

Rong Heqing: "..."

She looked at Chu Suifeng blankly, and for a moment she forgot what she was going to say. Her mind was full of questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Chu Suifeng snorted coldly, "Coward."

He turned his head and looked over. Wanzhu and Zheliu both shivered. After a moment of silence, they both turned around and almost bumped into each other. They quickly took a step back and went out one by one, pulling each other.

Rong Heqing: “???”

No, you just abandoned me like this?

Seeing Chu Suifeng's cold gaze falling on him.

Rong Heqing forced a smile, and suddenly an idea came to him. He raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "Oh, it hurts, Xiao Chu, my stomach hurts so much——"

However, Chu Suifeng showed no reaction to her pitiful appearance, and said calmly: "Why is the princess so unusual? Other people's stomachs grow in the middle, but the princess's is on the top of her head?"

Rong Heqing: "..."

She put her hand down and cleared her throat. "Okay, okay, if you're worried about me, just tell me. Don't be so sarcastic."

"Worried about you?" Chu Suifeng sneered, "I'm worried about my money. Who should I ask for money if you die?"

Rong Heqing also laughed, "Can you stop being so obsessed with money? Don't worry, even if I die, I will arrange for someone to pay off your money in advance."

Chu Suifeng had only said that out of spite, but when he saw that she was serious, he felt uncomfortable and stiffened his neck for a long time without saying anything.

Rong Heqing waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's put this matter behind us, ok?"

Chu Suifeng's shoulders slumped in frustration, and he crossed his arms and stared at her with a frown, "What on earth are you thinking? Are you crazy?"

"I didn't think much about it. Look, I didn't die, and I became a princess. In the future, my family, my mother, and my aunt will be proud of my status, and no one will dare to look down on them. Moreover, I saved the emperor's life, so whatever he wants to do in the future, he will have to consider whether he will be criticized by the world."

Rong Heqing smiled with curved eyebrows: "When you think about it this way, do you think it's worth it?"

Worth nothing?

Chu Suifeng almost blurted out the words, but swallowed them back after thinking about it. Seeing her lips dry and pale, he turned around to pour her a glass of water and said in a deep voice: "No one is worth risking your life for, not even the emperor."

Rong Heqing was startled, looked up at him, and curled his lips for a long while, "Okay, I understand."

She took two sips of hot water from the teacup, licked her lips, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, is there anything going on in the mansion these days? Has Pojun come here?"

Chu Suifeng was furious again, "Are you obsessed with sex? You're still thinking about Liang Changjin even after all this?"

"I'm really not interested in him." Rong Heqing was helpless.

She can't wash herself clean even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

"No. How can you check something so quickly?"

Rong Heqing seemed to be lost in thought, staring at the teacup in his hand.

Chu Suifeng asked: "Do you want to drink it or not? If not, I'll take it away."

Rong Heqing drank the remaining water in two or three gulps, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Chu, what do you think of Prince Duan?"

Chu Suifeng thought for a moment and said, "Good face, bad legs, rich, less trouble."

Qin Yunxian didn't know how he would react after hearing this, but Rong Heqing wanted to laugh after hearing this.

"Why are you asking about him suddenly?" Chu Suifeng asked.

"Because I'm thinking about marrying him."

"What did you say?" Chu Suifeng was stunned for a moment, and asked with a complicated expression: "Do you only look at the face when choosing people?"

Rong Heqing: "...So you only like money?"

The two looked at each other and glared for a while.

Chu Suifeng snorted, took the cup and went out, "Whatever you want."

Rong Heqing: "Hey - I'm serious."

She had been thinking about this matter these past two days when she had nothing to do. Qin Yunxian was right, he was indeed an excellent candidate.

But for this marriage to come together, it still requires a suitable opportunity.

Qin Yunxian pushed his wheelchair into the imperial study and saw the emperor sitting behind a desk reading a memorial. He didn't even look up when he heard the voice, but said in a casual tone, "How is it? Did Minister Zhao confess?"

Qin Yunxian said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the emperor, Minister Zhao is dead."

"What did you say?!"

The emperor suddenly put down the memorial and his face became gloomy.

Qin Yunxian lowered his eyes, "This morning I went to pick up Minister Zhao for the second round of interrogation. As a result, when the jailer opened the door, he found Minister Zhao dead in prison. Blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and his lips were black and purple. He died of poisoning. The food he didn't finish last night was also found to be highly poisonous."

The emperor stood up suddenly, and laughed in anger, "Great! What a good way to silence a witness! His hands have even reached into the prison of the Ministry of Justice! Will the throne have to be occupied by someone else the moment I open my eyes tomorrow?!"

Qin Yunxian's face became serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"How do you let me--"

"Your Majesty, Duke Rong requests to see you." Du Man hurried in and interrupted the emperor.

The emperor frowned, still angry, and asked, "What is he doing here?"

"Duke Rong knelt outside the door with a horse whip in hand, saying he was here to apologize."

Qin Yunxian's heart was slightly moved. He came at the right time.

"Oh? Apologize?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and waved his hand: "Let him in——"

He glanced at Qin Yunxian, who was about to leave when the emperor said, "Stay and listen carefully with me."

Qin Yunxian pursed his lips and said, "Yes."
