Ji Nina’s secret...
Shen Ruojing looked at this fellow and said, “Go on.’
Hearing this, Ji Wuyou curled his lips and suddenly leaned closer to Shen Ruojing. He whispered in her ear, “Among the royal guards, there is a man who is Ji Nina’s first love. They have some entanglements in the palace.”
After saying this, he immediately took a step back.
Shen Ruojing frowned at him. ‘Why are you telling me this?”
Ji Wuyou sneered. “Ji Nina’s mother took away a lot of my father’s love from my mother. We have been at odds since we were young. If she secures the position of the princess, my mother’s life will definitely be difficult! But regardless, the Ji family hopes that she can secure the position of the Queen and even dreams that she can ascend to that high position with the identity of a commoner’s daughter. However, I don’t want that!”
Shen Ruojing stared at him.
Ji Wuyou bowed to her. “Your Highness, you can go to Princess Consort Ji’s residence at eleven o’clock tonight to watch a good show. If you are willing to help me bring down Princess Consort Ji, I am at your disposal any time!” After saying this, Ji Wuyou left quietly.
Yu Jing widened her eyes, looking at the direction he left, and said in amazement, “I didn’t expect there to be such dirty things in noble families, even siblings fighting each other...”
After she finished speaking, she patted her chest. ‘See, there are benefits to being poor. At least, my dad couldn’t afford to have three wives, so he only married my mom.”
Shen Ruojing.
She pondered for a moment and said, “Go and help me find out if the Ji family’s affairs are really like what he just said.’
Yu Jing immediately nodded and left. “I’ll go right away!”
After she left, Shen Ruojing looked to the side and saw Song Chen coming out of bushes.
Shen Ruojing looked at him and asked subconsciously, “What do you think?”
After saying this, she suddenly realized that it was inappropriate.
This was Song Chen, not Chu Cichen, so how could he give her advice?
Unexpectedly, Song Chen blurted out, ‘Ji Wuyou’s behavior is very suspicious.’ Shen Ruojing was slightly taken aback. ‘How so?
Song Chen said, “In Country A, family honor is above all else. Ji Wuyou is now just a small captain in the royal guards, and his position is not very high. According to reason, Princess Consort Ji and he should be supporting each other. With Ji Wuyou on her side, Princess Consort Ji’s life in the harem would be much easier. Likewise, with Princess Consort Ji as his backing, Ji Wuyou’s path to promotion would be smoother. The two of them being so hostile is not what a smart person would do.”
After saying this, he smiled. “However, it is also possible that they have a grudge due to their mothers. In that case, it would be understandable.”
Shen Ruojing looked at him in surprise. “Where did you learn all this?”
Song Chen was slightly taken aback. He then coughed and said, “1 just heard it from royal guards.”
After saying this, he naturally walked beside Shen Ruojing. “I can’t just eat and drink for free in the palace. I have to do something for you. JingJing, I can help you more than Ji Wuyou. Don’t believe him.”
Shen Ruojing.
Just now, she had felt that Song Chen and Chu Cichen were becoming more and more similar, but as soon as he said those words, the sense of childishness emerged again. Where was the strong and masculine aura that Chu Cichen had?
She must have been overthinking it.
So she took out her phone and glanced at it, only to find that Chu Cichen had replied to her message. [Just busy.]
The cold words made Shen Ruojing sigh softly and send another message.
[Don’t be angry.]
After the message was sent, there was no response from the other party.
Shen Ruojing then tried to make a video call with Chu Cichen.
But the other party didn’t pick up.
pouted.
Song Chen’s voice drifted over. “Princess Consort Ji’s behavior is also very suspicious. She is clearly on good terms with Princess Consort Yan, so wh she only remind Princess Consort Luo of your identity?”
If Princess Consort Luo hadn’t known Shen Ruojing’s identity, she might I done something more outrageous.
In that case, when Shen Ruojing’s identity was exposed, the one who wou suffer would be Princess Consort Luo.
Hearing this, Shen Ruojing also frowned in confusion.
Princess Consort Ji walked a little slower and was soon caught up by Princ Consort Luo.
She frowned at Princess Consort Ji and said, ‘Were you reminding me just
Princess Consort Luo had figured out something at this moment. If she continued to make a fuss, she would only provoke the King’s disgust and 1 have to endure the Princess’s punishment. Thus, when Princess Consort J suddenly appeared and revealed Shen Ruojing’s identity, she was actually
helping her.
Princess Consort Ji smiled gently at Princess Consort Luo.
She usually had a bitter expression, but her smile now added a bit of sweetness to her face, which made Princess Consort Luo feel slightly stunned.
After that, she heard Princess Consort Ji say. “I saw that Princess Consort Yan was very polite to the doctor, so I observed a bit more and accidentally learned about her identity...”
As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Consort Luo’s face changed. ‘Well, it turns out that Princess Consort Yan knew her identity long ago! She even encouraged me to fight with the Princess, making a fuss in front of the Queen Dowager...
Princess Consort Luo’s eyes reddened. “This poisonous woman! Her goal is to make His Majesty abandon me!”
However, Princess Consort Ji did not join her in cursing and just said, “After all, Princess Consort Luo is young and has the best chance to bear His Majesty’s offspring among us, other than Princess Consort Shen...”
Princess Consort Luo snorted coldly. ‘Of course, Princess Consort Yan is almost forty...”
As she said this, she suddenly realized something and angrily said, “Yan Rushuang’s goal is to prevent me from giving birth to His Majesty’s child! She is forty years old and has no competitiveness, so she is trying to set me up?! Now, I am at odds with her!’
Princess Consort Ji didn’t follow up on that. Instead, she added, “I heard that the Queen Dowager has ordered His Majesty to rest in your palace tonight. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. Princess Consort Luo, you should prepare well tonight.
Hearing this, Princess Consort Luo thought of Jing Zhen’s appearance and her face turned red. She immediately quickened her pace. ‘You’re right, I’ll go back to take a bath and change my clothes now...”
Inside the palace.
Shen Qianhui slowly woke up.
She had slept very deeply this time, and when she woke up, she felt soreness in her waist. Moreover, as she opened her eyes, she saw a high and unfamiliar ceiling, which made her feel a little panicked.
After that, she felt her hand being held by Jing Zhen. “Wife, are you awake? Are you hungry? I’ll have the kitchen prepare some food.”
The familiar voice made Shen Qianhui let down her guard and relax.
She smiled at Jing Zhen, who then helped her up.
Just as Jing Zhen helped Shen Qianhui to the dining table, a maid walked in. ‘Your Majesty, Princess Consort Luo has prepared a meal, please go there to dine.’
Shen Qianhui was slightly taken aback and looked at Jing Zhen in astonishment.
The couple had always been together in China, but now Jing Zhen was going to have a meal with another woman?
Jing Zhen frowned, about to speak, but the other party spoke up, “The Queen Dowager asked you to prioritize the bigger picture. After all, the Luo family controls all the military forces of Country A.”
For a country, no matter how wealthy it was, the most important thing was its military power.
With regard to the Yan family, the Queen Dowager came from the Yan family, and the current head of the Yan family was Jing Zhen’s uncle. Hence, he could afford to neglect Princess Yan a bit. But in the case of Princess Luo, Jing Zhen had to make sacrifices in order to appease her.
This had been the choice and responsibility of emperors since ancient times!
Shen Qianhui’s fingers tightened slightly.
Her heart also felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
Although she already knew before coming to Country A that there were several princesses and had prepared herself to coexist peacefully with them, when her husband was really going to visit another woman’s palace, she couldn’t help but feel heartache and sadness...
