Chapter 218

Xiao Yunzhou and Liu Chaniang never expected there would be more to this story!

[In Princess Ronghua's eyes, the Yuan King was not as kind and amiable as her uncle, King Zhou Ling.]

[Damn, the current Queen Yuan is the Yuan King's fourth empress!]

[Of the first three empresses, one died of dysentery, one committed suicide while confined in the Cold Palace for her mistakes, and another also died of sudden illness.]

[Oh my, could it be that the first three empresses discovered the Yuan King's secret of being impotent, and were all killed by him...]

[Hm? My gossip vision has failed. Damn it, system, you cut off the update at the crucial moment?]

Xiao Yunzhou and Liu Chaniang stared wide-eyed.

[I see, Princess Ronghua is too weak, her mental state is unstable, so I can't continue reading the gossip.]

Outside the study, Xiao Chuchu was being carried by her wet nurse to change clothes.

By coincidence, she encountered Princess Ronghua, who had just been rescued and was about to bathe and change.

Princess Ronghua's features weren't strikingly beautiful, but she was clearly a delicate flower raised with care since childhood. Though her eyes couldn't hide a hint of pampered young lady's air, they were pure and transparent, showing little scheming.

Even now, shocked and hurt by her husband's deception, she still showed some concern for Xiao Chuchu in the wet nurse's arms.

"Quickly, take the little princess inside. Don't let her catch a chill out here."

Princess Ronghua had no children of her own, but she loved children.

Now, seeing such an adorable baby as Xiao Chuchu, she couldn't help wanting to get closer, but she knew it wasn't appropriate. She was clearly not a person of good fortune now.

Her husband was like a wolf, everything about their marriage was a lie. Her marriage was unhappy, her judgment of men was poor, and she had no children.

She now realized that Yuan Kaizhi had likely deliberately prevented her from having children, having long planned to send her to her death today.

Thinking of this, Princess Ronghua didn't dare touch a soft, beautiful baby like Xiao Chuchu, fearing her misfortune might affect the child.

But Xiao Chuchu blinked and couldn't help reaching out her little hand to touch Princess Ronghua's dust-covered cheek.

[Yuan Kaizhi is inhuman, but he finally did one good thing.]

[Having a child with such a scumbag would only ruin one's life.]

[Having no kids is actually the best outcome.]

[Princess Ronghua, you're only in your twenties, it's the perfect age to find a second spring~]

Liu Chaniang almost couldn't help nodding inside the room.

Outside, Princess Ronghua, who had been given a muscle relaxant, was powerless and being supported by two of Liu Chaniang's maids. Even if she wanted to dodge, she had no strength to do so. Xiao Chuchu's little hand touched her cheek directly.

Princess Ronghua was stunned. She had just passed by the lake and seen her reflection in the water - her black hair was disheveled, her hairpins had fallen out, and her cheeks were covered in dust from being pushed to the ground by Yuan Kaizhi.

Children are sensitive.

......

The next day, an anxious King Zhou dragged the King of Chu into the imperial palace of Jing Country early in the morning.

Their guards were left outside the palace, not allowed to enter, and were even required to remove their swords. Despite this, both kings complied.

"Jing Country has powerful mystics, and advanced firearms, as well as superior medical skills," King Zhou advised the middle-aged guard accompanying him, "Even if you followed us in, if Xiao Yunzhou wanted to kill me in the palace, it wouldn't be difficult."

King Zhou was now somewhat convinced of Jing Country's capabilities.

He was now more worried about his niece Ronghua, and even more resentful towards the Yuan State!

While he rushed into the palace, expecting to see a dispirited Ronghua in need of family comfort, he instead saw his niece with rosy cheeks and bright eyes.

"Uncle, you're here."

"Oh, about going to stay at the embassy? Can I go a few days later?"

"I want to sleep with Chuchu, that's the little princess. I also want to watch opera and eat fried skewers with Chaniang, that's Lady Liu."

"And I want to drink milk tea and play 'Who's the Tycoon' with Qiu Li, oh, Qiu Li is Lady Liu's maid..."

"Anyway, I'm quite happy here." Ronghua blushed.

In just one night, not only had she recovered from the muscle relaxant, but her mood had improved as well!

King Zhou was shocked.

What was milk tea, what was 'Who's the Tycoon', what were fried skewers?

Watching opera, was that the ex-husband's cremation opera?

King Zhou took a deep breath, "Today we're going to interrogate Yuan Kaizhi."

Princess Ronghua's excited expression instantly turned to pain, but soon a hint of determination appeared.

She gritted her teeth and turned to Liu Chaniang, "Sister, would you like to see a real ex-husband's cremation?"

King Zhou: "!"

Liu Chaniang nodded approvingly at Princess Ronghua.

[Awoo,] Xiao Chuchu excitedly waved her fist, [Go, Rong.Nuoerlu.Hua!]

[Yuan Kaizhi knows the secret of the Yuan King's impotence.]

[Ronghua, the new Queen Yuan and Duke of National Defense CP you've been shipping might actually come true!]

Xiao Chuchu's excited thoughts made even Liu Chaniang stumble guiltily.

In just one night, not only Chuchu, but Liu Chaniang herself had become a shipper of the 'kind, deceived little white rabbit new Queen Yuan VS physically strong, big bad wolf, long-suffering Duke of National Defense' CP after consuming this gossip.

[Charge forward, our CP faction, we might stand up this time~]
