Venomous Empress Reborn

742 Trouble (3)

When the crown prince heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he did not say anything. He knew Emperor Wen Hui’s temper very well. At this moment, he had to go along with him. Therefore, he said, “I’m not in a hurry. We naturally have to prioritize important things. I didn’t expect the Daliang Dynasty to have this intention. We can’t let down our guard against them.”

Seeing the crown prince like this, Emperor Wen Hui was very relieved. He patted his shoulder and said, “I know. Don’t worry, although the Daliang Dynasty has such ambitions, I won’t sit back and do nothing. I’ll talk to the crown prince of the State of Qin about forming an alliance tomorrow. If the State of Qin knows the ambitions of the Daliang Dynasty, they will definitely be nervous and agree. At that time, we don’t have to be afraid of the Daliang Dynasty, and Shen Miao and the Shen family’s military power will all be yours.”

The crown prince smiled and nodded, but in his heart, he held a grudge against Prince Rui for bringing this up to Emperor Wen Hui at this time. The timing was too coincidental. Prince Ding had finally come up with such a brilliant plan for him, but it was ruined by Prince Rui, making the crown prince extremely unhappy.

However, there was nothing he could do.

…

There was news from the palace that Shen Miao and the crown prince’s marriage had been temporarily postponed. Although Princess Rong Xin did not know why, she heaved a sigh of relief.

That day, she saw Shen Miao in the palace and asked her personal maid to send Shen Miao out, but she went to see Emperor Wen Hui personally. Emperor Wen Hui was still polite to Princess Rong Xin. Princess Rong Xin said that she liked Shen Miao very much and hoped that Emperor Wen Hui would not force Shen Miao to marry the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wen Hui immediately flew into a rage and even said that women were not allowed to discuss politics. Princess Rong Xin was also a straightforward person. She said, “Why is Shen Miao’s marriage political?” She immediately quarreled with Emperor Wen Hui. In the end, Emperor Wen Hui was angry and “invited” her out of the palace.

That night, Princess Rong Xin was so angry that she suffered another heart attack.

Fortunately, Emperor Wen Hui did not suspect why Princess Rong Xin spoke up for Shen Miao. Back then, there were a few times when Shen Miao was saved by Princess Rong Xin. In the eyes of outsiders, they would only think that Princess Rong Xin and Shen Miao were fated, so it was understandable that Princess Rong Xin treated Shen Miao differently. No one would expect Princess Rong Xin to protect Shen Miao and take care of her for Xie Jingxing.

“That’s good.” Princess Rong Xin said to her personal maid, Yang Xin, “I thought that I couldn’t help her this time, so I felt very guilty. Now that it’s postponed, there’s a chance to salvage the situation. I’ll go and tell her now. Otherwise, I’ll feel I’ve let Jingxing down.”

Yang Xin quickly said, “When Young Marquis finds out what you’ve done for him, he will definitely be happy.”

As she spoke, she saw someone coming in from outside. The palace maid bowed and whispered, “Your Highness, the herb sent by the people in the medical hall is here.”

Princess Rong Xin was slightly stunned and asked, “Isn’t the herb all sold out?”

She had been suffering from heart disease for many years and had a specific prescription. However, there was a herb in that prescription that was extremely difficult to find and rare. There were only so many in a year. When Xie Jingxing was still around, he used some tricks to find a lot of it every year, so Princess Rong Xin was not worried at all.

Later, when Xie Jingxing died, she had a hard time getting the herb. In the winter, the herb was even harder to find. Princess Rong Xin had been drinking the medicine without the herb for a long time. A few days ago, the medical hall said that they still didn’t have that herb but she did not expect it to be delivered today.
