The sunlight shone through the window and onto the bronze mirror. It reflected Fang Zinan's face, which was more beautiful than the wind. Her elegant eyebrows were slanted, and her eyes were as bright as the stars. Shang Yiqing looked at the pair of eyes, sighing in her heart. She had even gotten over the incident where she lost her virginity. A person who was on the verge of death, she was only giving him a bit of humanitarian care out of sympathy!

"Have you seen enough?" he asked suddenly.

Shang Yiqing glared at him, "What did you say?"

"Do flowers bloom on my face?" After pausing for a moment, he smiled mischievously. "If you look at me like this, I will think that you have ill intentions!"

Was this person really hopeless? She had finally put down her prejudice against him, but hearing him say such words, it seemed like she really shouldn't sympathize with him. He was such a bad guy deep down in her heart, why would she sympathize with him?

Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up, "Alright, you're fine now. I'll go out for a walk so I don't have to worry about you!"

"Are you upset or confused?" Watching her walk out, he smiled coyly.

She gave him an unpleasant look and walked out of the room.

Shang Yiqing shook her head, leaving all the sympathy she had just had behind him. That fellow was not worthy of sympathy at all, perhaps she was still evil, evil, evil in her bones, and could not be changed.

At this moment, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps. She looked up and saw an old man wearing a purple silk dress, walking in with a somewhat flustered expression on his face. He seemed to be in his fifties, but he still looked quite young and handsome.

Behind him, there were a few guards in the distance. From the looks of it, this person's background was definitely not small. However, this was within the Rong King's manor. Why was it that when he brazenly walked into the inner courtyard, not a single servant went to stop him, and no one came in to spread the news? He was as casual as if he was at home? Who was this person? Why was he here?

The old man was startled when he saw Shang Yiqing. He did not stop and sized her up with his sharp eyes.

This old man is really strange, Shang Yiqing thought to herself. Before she could say anything, she heard the maidservant beside him call out, "Your servant greets Prince Yu."

Prince Yu? Was this Prince Yu, the father-in-law she had never met? Fortunately, her reaction was fast enough as he hurriedly bowed, "Chenqie greets royal father."

Prince Yu was already very close to her. He smiled at her and asked, "Are you Princess Rong? How is Prince Rong now? "

"Reporting to royal father, he is awake now." Shang Yiqing answered obediently.

"Then ask the princess consort to take me to see him." As Prince Yu spoke, he did not intend to stop.

Shang Yiqing led Prince Yu to his room. When Fang Zinan saw Prince Yu, he got down from his bed and bowed, "Your son greets you, father."

"You're sick, don't need to be so courteous?" Prince Yu looked lovingly at his youngest son. Ever since his son's grand marriage, had he not seen him before?

"Father, why did you come here personally? Your son hasn't gone to pay his respects to you yet. It's really … "

"I know you've never been well." Prince Yu glanced at Shang Yiqing and said, "You should have come to the estate the day after your marriage, but Manager Li said you were sick."

Fang Zinan nodded: "Yes, my son was sick the next day." But how did royal father know that his son was sick today? "

"I just happened to pass by your residence today, and I just happened to hear the attendant at the entrance mention that you had a sudden illness today. In a moment of anxiety, I entered the manor to take a look."

"Your son is unfilial, how can you endure having your father personally visit?" Fang Zinan's face blushed. Actually, he had planned to bring Shang Yuqing to pay his respects to his father. He didn't expect that his father would come first.

"You are not in good health, how can I not forgive you? I heard from the attendant at the door that you had a very serious illness today? " Prince Yu's tone was filled with love and love.

"Your son is fine, luckily, wangfei's medical skills are superb. With her by your side, your son's health is much better." Fang Zinan shifted his gaze to Shang Yiqing, "This is father. Come quickly and greet father."

"Chenqie has never seen Royal Father before, I am truly lacking in manners!" Shang Yiqing didn't know what Fang Zinan meant by that, but since this person was her father-in-law, she had to be polite.

Prince Yu's expression was one of satisfaction as he nodded in praise. "Not bad, no wonder the Empress has set his eyes on you. It looks like Prince Rong will recover once he has a wife like you."

"Father is praising me too much. This is something chenqie should do." Shang Yiqing bowed slightly.

Fang Zinan was about to get out of bed to change clothes, but his father hadn't come. His son was still lying on the bed.

"Don't move." Prince Yu said, "Your illness has just broken out, so you still need to recuperate!"

"Your son is fine now. I'm going to accompany father."

"There's no need, as long as father sees that you're safe. I still have things to do, so I won't stay here any longer. Prince Yu stood up and prepared to leave without even taking a seat.

"Why did royal father leave just like that?" Fang Zinan asked in confusion. He had originally wanted to accompany his father to eat at home?

"The Emperor summoned me today to discuss something with me. You don't need to keep me here. When you recover from your illness, bring your wangfei back to the estate." Prince Yu left the room in a hurry.

Shang Yiqing hurried to follow him, "Father, ask me to send you off."

"No need!" Prince Yu left as soon as he said he would.

Shang Yiqing paused for a moment before following her. No matter what, this person was her father-in-law. She had to show good manners and maintain her image as an imperial concubine. After sending Prince Yu out of the manor, she stood outside the gate and watched him leave.

"Child, quickly go back and take care of Prince Rong." Prince Yu mounted the palanquin and couldn't help but wave his hand. Shang Yiqing waited until the sedan chair was far away from the palace before she turned back.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, she met her father-in-law for the first time. On the day of the wedding, she had been covering her head with a red veil. Let alone Prince Yu, she hadn't even seen a single guest.

As she walked back, she kept thinking, could it be that her life as an imperial concubine will begin in such a hurry and end in such a rush? If Fang Zinan died, she would become a widow. Even if she hated him, he didn't want him to die so early. His death would not benefit her! She sighed softly. So it turned out that his fate was really bad, marrying a dying prince. Thinking up to here, she suddenly recalled that she had made a guarantee in front of the empress. If Prince Rong died, wouldn't she be committing the crime of deceiving the monarch? Oh my god! This Prince Rong really couldn't die!
