Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Moon Courtyard.

Shen Wantang was sitting beside the bed, giving acupuncture to Lin Rouxin.

If Lin Rouxin hadn't given her so many rare gems, she probably wouldn't have made this trip, but since she had already accepted the gift, she should make the trip.

Moreover, she didn't want anything to happen to Lin Rouxin at the moment, so that no one would find fault with her and Xiao Qingxi would have too much free time and go to her Wutong Garden to cause trouble again.

She had to come this time for both moral and logical reasons, and for both public and private reasons.

In the hall outside, Xiao Qingyuan and Huo Yunzhou were both scolding Xiao Qingxi. Among them, Huo Yunzhou scolded the most harshly and loudly.

"Xiao Qingxi, you actually dared to push Rouxin into the cold lake. You just wanted to kill her! You are simply a vicious and venomous woman! You are so cruel and ruthless, you don't deserve to be a human being! If anything happens to Rouxin, I will never forgive you!"

"Huo Yunzhou, I told you, I didn't push her! She fell in by herself!"

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?! Xiao Qingxi, aren't you always bold and straightforward? Why do you want to kill someone now, but you don't dare to admit it?"

"Seeing is not believing! That bitch dared to pull my clothes, I just wanted to shake her hand off, who knew she would fall into the lake? She must have jumped in by herself, she just wanted to frame me! Lin Rouxin is a sinister and despicable villain!"

"That's enough! Xiao Qingxi, I won't allow you to insult Rouxin again!"

Huo Yunzhou's roar almost blew the roof off: "Rouxin is the kindest and most sensible girl in the world. She doesn't understand what a frame-up is!"

"She must be crazy to fall into an ice hole in such a cold weather. Is she willing to sacrifice her life to frame you? You are dark inside, so you think everyone else is the same as you!"

"Let me tell you, Rouxin is different from a noble princess like you who is arrogant and domineering and treats human life as worthless!"

There was a hint of despair in Xiao Qingxi's voice: "Huo Yunzhou, I love you so much, why do you always disbelieve me? Why?! I didn't push Lin Rouxin, I swear, I didn't!"

Xiao Qingyuan sighed: "Qingxi, Huo Yunzhou and I arrived at the same time, and I also saw you pushing Rouxin, so don't quibble, apologize honestly and admit your mistakes, maybe Yunzhou can forgive you."

"Xiao Qingyuan! Whose brother are you?!"

Xiao Qingxi's voice became even more desperate: "Why don't you all believe me? I'm obviously the one who is closer to you! What's so good about that damn Lin Rouxin that you two are risking your lives to protect her!"

Through the door, Shen Wantang clearly heard Huo Yunzhou's cold voice: "No matter how bad Rouxin is, I will always protect her in this life! And you, no matter how good you are, I don't want you!"

At the same time, Lin Rouxin on the bed opened her eyes.

Shen Wantang felt that she was probably too happy to hear the commotion outside because of her, and she couldn't pretend anymore - that's right, she had been pretending to be unconscious just now.

Shen Wantang did not expose her disguise, but said calmly: "Miss Lin is awake, Qin Xin, go tell the prince!"

"Yes."

Lin Rouxin struggled to get up: "It turned out that it was the Crown Prince's Consort who saved me. Rouxin thanks the Crown Prince's Consort for saving my life!"

"It wasn't me who saved you. It was General Huo who saved you. I just gave you a few injections after he rescued you to help your blood flow smoothly so that you can wake up earlier."

"Then we should also thank the Crown Princess for her help!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qingyuan and Huo Yunzhou rushed in, and following closely behind them was Xiao Qingxi, whose facial features were distorted with anger.

"Sister, you finally woke up, that's great."

"Rouxin, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Lin Rouxin was very considerate and apologized to Xiao Qingyuan first: "I fell into the lake just after arriving at the palace. I was so careless and caused trouble to my brother. I will be more careful in the future."

Then, she said to Huo Yunzhou, "General Huo, please go back. Everything is fine in the palace. This will be my home from now on. Please don't come here again."

Huo Yunzhou was anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say everything is fine? Qingyuan and I saw clearly that Xiao Qingxi pushed you into the lake!"

Lin Rouxin said in a cold tone: "No, General Huo was mistaken. I fell down accidentally. It has nothing to do with the princess. The princess treats me very well. General Huo should not misunderstand her."

Huo Yunzhou couldn't help but stepped forward and asked her with red eyes: "Rouxin, tell me the truth, is someone forcing you? Why are you so distant to me all of a sudden? Why don't you even call me brother Yunzhou? If you have any grievances, tell me everything and I will take care of it for you!"

Lin Rouxin bit her lip and looked at him with misty eyes. After a moment, a tear fell from the corner of her eye: "I am not wronged. I like Prince Ning's Mansion very much because it has the splendor and wealth that you can't give me. No one forced me. Everything is what I want. Because I love vanity."

Huo Yunzhou was heartbroken when he saw her like this: "No! I don't believe it! I know you. You would never covet fame and wealth, and you are definitely not the kind of vain woman! Someone must have forced you, it must be!"

He turned around angrily and looked at Xiao Qingyuan and Xiao Qingxi, brother and sister: "What did you say to Rouxin? Why did she suddenly become like this?! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't leave!"

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "Yunzhou, be rational, I have said everything I should say, Rouxin really voluntarily lives in the palace."

Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Lin Rouxin is just a green tea bitch, she is best at pretending, Huo Yunzhou, you have been deceived by her!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Shen Wantang said calmly: "If you want to quarrel, please go outside. Miss Lin caught a cold and was frightened after falling into the water. She needs to rest for a few days."

Xiao Qingxi said with disdain: "Shen Wantang, you are not planning to join forces with Lin Rouxin, are you? It seems that you are much more stupid than I thought. Lin Rouxin is not a good person. If you speak up for her, she will turn around and bite you hard!"

Shen Wantang said calmly, "I have indeed suffered the loss that the princess mentioned, but it was not from Miss Lin, but from the princess. As a result, I no longer dare to speak for the princess casually."

Xiao Qingxi's face froze. She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be several such situations. One moment Shen Wantang spoke for her or helped her with treatment, and the next moment she scolded Shen Wantang.

She had a bad feeling in her heart. It seemed that Shen Wantang was not going to tolerate her any longer. She might really join forces with Lin Rouxin!

The place on her wrist where Shen Wantang had pinched it was still in sharp pain. Three imperial doctors had come to examine her wrist, but none of them could find anything wrong. Now even her mother, who trusted her the most, didn't believe that her wrist was injured.

She was isolated and helpless, and was surrounded by enemies.
