The light in Chu Zongge's eyes was hazy, he was unable to discern the answer from his face, so he asked again: ”Why is that so?”
”I have a lot of answers. Which one do you want to hear?”
Xue Ronghua said in a baffled manner: ”I only have one question.”
”But I have many answers.” Chu Zongge saw that Xue Ronghua was annoyed, and immediately replied: ”Alright, alright, I'm not able to answer this question right now, so I'll just wait until the time is right, since it's an answer that is beneficial to you.”
Seeing that he had no intention to tell her the truth, Xue Ronghua could only let him do as he pleased.
Xue Longhu's birthday banquet had finally ended. After staying by his side for an entire day, he was finally able to return to his room to rest.
Little Zhui clapped her hands and praised: ”Young miss has used this move extremely well, I'm afraid that when young miss is wearing it in the future, she will think of the event that happened today.”
Xue Ronghua also admired herself for her intelligence, ”Xue Liuhua has already been imprisoned in her room and can't even copy scriptures peacefully, so I can only help father with this matter, and let her be a little more obedient.”
Little Zhui suddenly looked sad: ”In the past, young miss was always making things difficult for young miss. She would often have servants bring tattered clothes for young miss to wear, causing young miss to catch a cold.”
Indeed, it was something that only a woman like Xue Liuhua, a snake and a scorpion, would do. Xue Ronghua patted Little Zhui's head and sighed: ”In the past, I … ”Before, I thought the world would be at peace with me just because I had to endure. I didn't expect them to not let me go, so I had no choice …”
Since he was able to borrow Yuan Su's body to undergo rebirth, then he might as well end the things on her body as well.
Little Zhui looked at her emotionally, ”Young miss, right now, Little Zhui really likes her. We don't have to be bullied by young miss and the young mistress anymore, it's better for us to be her servants.”
Speaking of servants, Xue Ronghua thought of Caiyun, ”Little Zhui, have you done well with the things I asked you to do?”
Little Zhui laughed: It's done, I bought the servant who was sent to execute her, and sent Caiyun back to the village.
Caiyun passed the message between Madam Ye and Xue Liuhua, becoming Yuan Su's accomplice in the past. However, this child himself probably didn't know what the mother and daughter were doing, so it was rather pitiful.
”Did you give her those bags of money?”
”I've already given it to her. Caiyun has so much money, so it's probably fine even if she doesn't do anything for three or four years.”
Xue Ronghua nodded with gratitude, ”That's good.”
Little Zhui poured a cup of tea for her, and said carefully: ”Miss, the sack of money that you brought back the other day, now you only have two hands left.”
Xue Ronghua was so scared that she almost fell off her chair, ”How is this possible?
Little Zhui counted with her fingers, ”Young miss, you always go out to shop and eat, plus the money to make clothes, and the money to send Caiyun away …”
Xue Ronghua immediately opened the closet and took out the gunny sack. As she picked it up to take a look, indeed, it was light, only around 10 gold coins left.
”Alright, alright, I'll earn more if I don't have any more money. I think I should go out for a walk tomorrow.” Xue Ronghua said a little embarrassedly as she thought of the fun and drinks she had had these past few days.
Little Zhui said a few words and then left.
Tonight, the moonlight was very beautiful, and the dark sky was filled with stars, so bright that it looked like little pearls in a dowry. As Xue Ronghua looked at the dissolved moonlight on the floor, a pair of pitch black eyes appeared in her heart.
What exactly is Chu Zongge thinking? Why did he want to marry me?
However, the moonlight within the Qi’s Imperial Palace was not that bright. The dark clouds covered up half of the bright moon, and only a few strands of soft light poured down. The lights in Yi Yuan Palace flickered. Su Rushuang took out a white jade hairpin from her hair and asked slowly: ”Chen Xiang, has everything been settled?”
Chen Xiang replied, ”In reply to the Empress, everything has been completed.”
Su Rushuang nodded in satisfaction, ”You didn't leave anything behind, did you?”
”This servant has matters to attend to. Empress, don't worry.”
He only heard the Consort Xian in the backyard crying out in alarm, ”Ah, someone come quickly, my child!”
Chen Xiang secretly laughed. ”That little pavilion is very efficient.”
Su Rushuang leisurely placed her hand on Chen Xiang's arm, and said: ”Not bad, if you receive it from the palace, serve it in front of me.”
The palace was suddenly brightly lit, and the servants and servants were thrown into chaos. Su Rushuang stepped into the palace methodically, and when she saw Consort Xian lying on the bed, her body slightly trembled.
”What's going on?”
The servant girl beside Consort Xian trembled and said, ”Greetings, Consort Ru, Queen Consort Xian she …”
Su Rushuang helped Consort Xian, whose face was covered in tears, up from the bed, and asked worriedly, ”What happened to big sister?”
Consort Xian bit her pale lips tightly. Su Rushuang looked at her lower body and saw that her legs were covered with blood that was reflected on the snow-white blanket.
”Ah, sister!” Su Rushuang turned and looked angrily at the servants on both sides, and scolded: ”Since Big Sister is already like this, why don't you all quickly inform the imperial physicians, and inform the emperor!”
When the guard outside heard the voice, he replied, ”Reporting to Consort Ru, the Emperor has decreed that there is no need to report to him about the Empress of Consort Xian.”
Su Rushuang said anxiously: ”Do you not care about the matters regarding the prince?”
The guard said, ”This servant has already called the imperial physician.”
An imperial physician with a goatee hurried over. Chen Xiang secretly tugged on her sleeve. She knew in her heart that this was what they had set up.
The imperial physician had the maidservants boil some medicine for the Consort Xian to feed and sighed, ”I'm afraid that the Consort Xian's Dragon Embryo won't be preserved.”
”What nonsense are you spouting? If you can't save the dragon embryo, I'll report it to the emperor and have you, a quack doctor, be buried with us!”
The imperial physician regretted saying, ”Her body is weak, and she lost so much blood. Even if Hua Tuo were to die, he wouldn't be able to do anything.”
