After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

Tang Mumu slipped into the yard quietly, saw the brocade box in the house, thought of Fan Yan, and her chest tightened again. She walked over, picked up the brocade box and walked towards Zhujingxuan.

Not finding Moyi in Zhujingxuan, Tang Mumu returned to Nong Yuetang somewhat disappointed. Before entering the yard, she saw Jinse looking out hurriedly.

"Jinse." Tang Mumu called out. Jinse saw her happy face and hurriedly ran back to her.

"Princess, you are back."

Knowing that she must be worried sick, Tang Mumu smiled and patted her head, comforting her: "Don't look so sad, haven't I come back? Nothing will happen with me in the palace, and everyone in the palace will be fine."

Jinse's eyes suddenly turned red, and she bit her lip to prevent herself from crying. "Princess, is Fanyan really dead? They all said that the princess killed him personally, and that the emperor would kill the prince to vent his anger on Prince Shun. Is this true?"

"Who told you that?" Tang Mumu wiped her tears helplessly and coaxed her patiently, "Prince Shun is fine. The prince is also the son of the emperor. They won't really want the prince's life. Those people outside are just afraid that something will happen to the mansion, so they came to protect the mansion. Don't scare yourself."

"What about Fan Yan?"

Tang Mumu's hands froze in the air and he sighed weakly, "The palace will bury Fanyan properly."

Jinse burst into tears almost instantly, but then she immediately remembered something and covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound. Tang Mumu sighed helplessly, reached out and hugged her, patted her, and said, "You can only be sad for a short while."

"What can I do, Princess?"

Jinse came out and looked at Tang Mumu seriously.

"That's good. Go call the housekeeper for me later and tell him that I have something to tell you. Then go to Zhujingxuan to see if Moyi is here. If he is, call him over as well."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After watching Jinse run away, Tang Mumu returned to the house and sat down, thinking about what would be the best option.

At Prince Chen's mansion, Tang Qingzhi waited until the hour of midnight before the maid she sent came back to report that the prince had returned. Without hesitation, Tang Qingzhi stood up and walked quickly to Prince Chen's courtyard.

Fortunately, Prince Chen did not rest, so at least he did not have to stand up again just because she came over. This reduced a lot of the guilt in Tang Qingzhi's heart.

"Your Highness." There were no guards outside the courtyard. Tang Qingzhi was anxious, so she went straight into Rong Su's room.

Rong Su turned around when he heard the voice, and his eyes were a little evasive when he saw Tang Qingzhi. He naturally guessed why she came.

"Princess, please sit down first." Rong Lou pointed to the chair beside the table and sat down to pour tea for her.

Although the two have been married for some time, they have not had much intimacy with each other during this period. In addition, there have been many rumors since they got married. He has never known how to face Tang Qingzhi in the best way, and the other party has never taken the initiative to get close to him. Therefore, the relationship between the two is not as close as that of an ordinary couple.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Tang Qingzhi still felt a little awkward in front of him. Prince Chen had treated her very well since their marriage. He had all the amenities a mistress of a royal palace should have, but he was not very close to her. She had gradually gotten used to it from the initial uneasiness she felt, and even when he came to disturb her late at night, she felt an inexplicable guilt in her heart. They were really not like an ordinary couple.

Without time to think, Tang Qingzhi went straight to the point, "Any news about Prince Rong?"

Rong Su pushed the teacup in front of her and frowned slightly. He didn't want Tang Qingzhi to be involved in this matter from the beginning.

"Did you take Princess Rong to see the Imperial Grandmother today?"

Tang Qingzhi's fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and she bit her lip and asked, "How did the prince know?"

"Not only do I know this, but my father also knows this. The Imperial Guards have spies in every corner of the palace. Do you really think you can hide what you did from my father?"

Tang Qingzhi's eyes darkened, and the fingertips of her folded hands gradually turned white due to the force, but her face was much calmer than before.

"How does Father intend to deal with Prince Rong?" He paused for a moment and then continued, "Is this incident...something that Father is behind?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Rong Lou said sternly.

His reaction made Tang Qingzhi more convinced that what she said hit the nail on the head. After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of her neck.

"What does father...want to do?" Tang Qingzhi refused to give up. This matter had too many implications. She had to find out as soon as possible and make a choice for her before Mu Mu made one.

Rong Su raised his eyes and stared at Tang Qingzhi, who also met his gaze without fear. She did not back down at all for a long while. A helpless look flashed in Rong Lou's eyes, knowing that it was impossible to ask her to ignore the matter.

"I only know that my father does have the intention to kill, but he won't attack Xiaoliu right now."

Tang Qingzhi's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and in an instant, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The emperor's power struggles and royal infighting are too dirty and terrible.

"Prince Rong is his biological son, just like Prince Shun." Tang Qingzhi gritted her teeth and said each word, with no hope of believing that this was true.

Rong Su's face was stern and he said nothing. Tang Qingzhi was too smart and there was no need for him to say anything.

"I have to go to Prince Rong's mansion tomorrow. I must inform Mu Mu of this matter in advance, otherwise I don't know if she will do something unpredictable. Prince Rong is her bottom line. For him, I believe Mu Mu can do anything."

"My father has issued an order that no one is allowed to enter Prince Rong's mansion. Prince Rong's mansion will be handed over to the Imperial Guards for protection. Princess Rong has been detained. Anyone who asks for mercy and visits her will be considered guilty of the same crime."

Tang Qingzhi narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, and said calmly, "Father wants to take this opportunity to catch all those who support Prince Rong? Has it really come to this?"

Tang Qingzhi felt more like laughing than worrying. Was her father really so afraid of Rong Yan? He was so afraid that he would use his favorite prince to kill his other prince.

"Isn't your Majesty afraid that Prince Shun won't make it this time?"

Rong Su glared at her with a sullen face and a warning look in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter what the truth is. You must understand that you alone, and with the power of Prince Chen's Mansion, cannot help Xiaoliu. As for your sister, if she stays in the palace obediently, Father will not make things difficult for her."

Tang Qingzhi didn't speak for a long time, but the light in her eyes seemed to slowly dim. In fact, she had always known that Rong Su never participated in party disputes. He just wanted to be an idle prince, a prince who was dispensable in the eyes of others. Facts proved that he did it. No one in the court supported Prince Chen, and no one had ever caused trouble for him.

"Prince Rong's Mansion has never had the intention of rebellion. Father, there is no need for you to do this."

"How do you know that Xiaoliu has no intention of rebellion?"

Tang Qingzhi was stunned and could hardly believe what she heard. How could Prince Rong have the intention of rebellion?

"What do you mean by that?"

"No one knows the truth. Father will not kill Xiaoliu and cannot kill him. There is no need for you to get yourself involved. Starting tomorrow, do not leave the house. I will let Cang Lin go to your courtyard to take orders."
