The news that the Fifth Prince was about to recover spread throughout the capital's Imperial Palace overnight. It became a matter that the concubines, maidservants, and inner servants talked about with relish. Naturally, Murong Hanzhi, who had saved the Fifth Prince from the sea of misery, became the target of public criticism. They were thinking that the title of the Fifth Prince's wife would naturally fall on her head soon.
Of course, they were only talking behind his back. They knew how much Consort Yang Shu and Gu Zhu Lie loved the Fifth Prince. Moreover, before the Fifth Prince fell ill, Consort Yang Shu had already chosen her niece Sang Wangyue to be his daughter-in-law. No matter how much Murong Hanzhi had helped the Fifth Prince, how could he compete with her?
These things had been discussed by them for a long time, and inevitably, some words had reached Consort Yang Shu's ears. She couldn't help but be secretly surprised. She thought to herself that she had been worried about Yue 'er's illness and had forgotten that he and Murong Hanzhi were both young people. If they were together for a long time, something might really happen.
It seemed that he had to remind Murong Hanzhi to avoid embarrassing everyone.
After accompanying the Fifth Prince in the medicinal bath last night, he had lost his temper and refused to sleep, so Murong Hanzhi could only accompany him until midnight. When she returned to her room to sleep, it was already past midnight. This morning, she woke up a little late. Qing Ge had sent a message saying that the Empress wanted to see her. She didn't think too much about it and washed up before going to Consort Yang Shu's room.
"This servant greets Niangniang."
As soon as she entered the room, Murong Hanzhi felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and her heart couldn't help but sink. Could it be that she did something wrong? Or did the Fifth Prince say something to Consort Yang Shu?
Consort Yang Shu smiled gently and reached out to help her up." No need to be so polite, Hanzhi. Didn't BenGong say that there are no outsiders in this Jia Yuan Palace? If you can avoid these red tape, please do so."”
" Yes, Your Highness." Murong Hanzhi did not say anything more." May I know what orders Your Highness has for me?"”
Consort Yang Shu gestured for her to sit down and speak. Before she said anything, she sighed. I believe you know that this prince has always been thinking about Yue 'er's illness. Yue' er's life is not destined to end, so he met you at this time. Otherwise, this prince would like to ask you, when will Yue 'er's illness be completely cured?”
So it was just for this. Murong Hanzhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart immediately calmed down." Your Highness, there's no need to be anxious. As long as you follow this servant's method, the Fifth Prince will recover in less than ten days."”
"Is that so?" Consort Yang Shu was pleasantly surprised." That's great! Hanzhi, you don't know, Yue 'er is already sixteen this year. If it wasn't for this illness, he and Wangyue would have already paid their respects. This is great. It seems that bengong has to find the ceremonial officer to ask which day is the auspicious day of the zodiac and help them do this. bengong will be relieved.”
Murong Hanzhi didn't hear a single word she said after that. However, when she heard the name " Moongazer Serpent," she felt a chill run down her spine as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!
So, so the Fifth Prince already had someone in his heart. Then, why did he still treat her like that?
"Oh." She bit her lip tightly, hoping to use the pain to keep herself awake so that Consort Yang Shu wouldn't notice her abnormality."Your Highness, are you saying that the Fifth Prince already has someone in his heart?"
What kind of heavenly beauty would be worthy of the Fifth Prince? Who would be so lucky to be able to become the Fifth Prince's sidekick?
As long as she thought about how the Fifth Prince would sleep with the Moongazer Serpent that she had never seen before, Murong Hanzhi's heart would contract violently, and she would be in so much pain that she could not breathe!
She originally wanted to
Hehe, she laughed at herself. She knew that with her status, she was not worthy of the high and mighty prince. Why did she still have such extravagant hopes? Moreover, Gu Zhu Lie was her father's murderer. How could she be with the son of her father's murderer? How could she face her parents in the underground world?
"Hanzhi? Hanzhi?" Consort Yang Shu tugged at her sleeve, feigning confusion." You don't look well. Are you too tired from treating Yue 'er?”
" It's, it's nothing." Murong Hanzhi took a deep breath. Even though her vision was blurry, she still smiled." Your Highness, you don't have to worry about me. I have my own place to go."
These words revealed her thoughts. Fortunately, Consort Yang Shu had always treated her as a distinguished guest and knew that she was not a vicious person. Otherwise, she would have suffered.
" That's good." Consort Yang Shu smiled silently, her eyes wise." Miss Murong, it's not that I don't think of you, but it's really inconvenient to tell you about the matters in the palace. Yue 'er is the Emperor's child, and his matters will be decided by the Emperor. You've always been smart, so you must understand what I mean, right?"”
Yes, Murong Hanzhi understood. Once they entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. What did these women who worked hard in the harem rely on? When he was young, he relied on his beauty to gain the emperor's favor. When he was old and weak, he naturally relied on his son to ascend the throne and share the honor.
Consort Yang Shu was currently favored by Gu Zhu Lie. If the Fifth Prince could inherit the throne in the future, she would have nothing to worry about. It was easier said than done to ascend the throne. Other than trying to rope in important officials in the court and nurture more of his own people, it was also the most important thing.
" Yes, I know my identity. I will not bring trouble to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, don't worry." Murong Hanzhi's heart was clear as he released his clenched fists." I only want Your Majesty to remember what you promised me." Consort Yang Shu had said that if the Fifth Prince could recover, she would beg Lone Bamboo Lie to set them free.”
"Don't worry, BenGong will remember and definitely won't go back on my words.”Consort Yang Shu nodded, the stone in her heart finally falling to the ground.
This way, there would only be this deal between them.
