The Fifth Prince knelt on the ground with his knees slightly apart, as if he did not dare to touch a certain place. His face was also in pain, and his hand subconsciously touched a certain place, but he withdrew it as if he was worried about something. He knew that if his mother caught him this time, he could no longer hide the matter between him and Murong Hanzhi. However, he was no longer afraid. This matter had to be known to his mother sooner or later. It was better this way.
Consort Yang Shu stared fixedly at the Fifth Prince's face. If she had not forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart, she would have already gone over and ruthlessly slapped him ten to twenty times! "Lone Bamboo, how could you do this?! Have you forgotten what bengong taught you?!”
She wasn't favored by Gu Zhu Lie when she first entered the palace. Before she was favored by the king, she had tasted loneliness like the other concubines. Therefore, after she often accompanied the Emperor, she became extra cautious. She also deeply understood how miserable it was for those concubines to wait for their hair to turn white. In addition, Sang Wangyue was also a member of her clan, so she often told the Fifth Prince not to be a heartless person, to keep himself clean, and not to get into love debt.
In reality, the Fifth Prince had been by her side for so many years and had indeed done very well. Other than playing around, there was nothing bad about him, so Consort Yang Shu had always been at ease with him. Who would have thought that man's plans would not be as good as God's plans? Who told Murong Hanzhi to be the only one who could cure the Fifth Prince's illness? She might be the fiend in the Fifth Prince's life. Whether the Fifth Prince lived or died was all in her hands.
" Your son did not forget." The Fifth Prince could not help but tremble, looking very uncomfortable." But mother, your son, your son truly likes Big Sister Murong-"
"Shut up!" Consort Yang Shu flew into a rage and could no longer suppress her anger. She stood up and slapped him." Unfilial son, you still refuse to admit your mistake?! Bengong said long ago that Moongazer is your imperial concubine. Other than her, no one else can!”
The Fifth Prince fell to the ground from her slap and groaned in pain. When he turned around, a trickle of blood had already flowed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were firm." Your son only treats Wangyue as a younger sister. The person your son likes is sister Murong!”
"You…" Consort Yang Shu's vision went black and she fell backwards. Fortunately, Qing Ge held her up. She was so angry that she couldn't speak,"You, you, you…you kneel here for this prince. When you think it through, when you get up!"”
The Fifth Prince looked at her stubbornly and knelt down stiffly, not saying another word.
Qing Ge quickly helped the tottering Consort Yang Shu into the inner room to rest, then soaked a towel and handed it over. Consort Yang Shu took it with trembling hands and wiped her face, only then did she feel better. Qing Ge looked at her and hesitated.
"If you want to plead for that unfilial son, don't speak.”In front of the palace maids, Consort Yang Shu had regained her previous cold arrogance and indifference, but her lips were still trembling, as if she couldn't stand the cold.
Qing Ge smiled carefully and awkwardly," Replying to the Empress, this servant knows that I am not qualified to plead on behalf of the Fifth Prince. This servant only feels that the Empress should not place all the blame on the Fifth Prince. Miss Murong, she…"
She was the culprit, wasn't she? The Fifth Prince had always been pure and peaceful, and he had never understood the relationship between men and women. However, he had ended up with Murong Hanzhi. It would be strange if it wasn't this shameless servant who had seduced the Fifth Prince.
Consort Yang Shu's expression did not change, as if she had expected Qing Ge to say this." It doesn't matter whose fault it is. BenGong only wants Yue 'er to turn back. As for HanZhi, BenGong has her own arrangements."”
Her eyes flashed as she sneered," Murong Hanzhi, on the surface, she promised not to have any improper thoughts towards the Fifth Prince, but she had already become the Fifth Prince's sidekick, and even made the Fifth Prince so loyal to her. Her ability was really not small. Did everyone underestimate her at the beginning?!
However, at this point, there was no point in falling out with Murong Hanzhi. It would only bring shame to Consort Yang Shu and damage the Fifth Prince's reputation. That was why she did not ask Murong Hanzhi about his crimes. The most important thing now was to make the Fifth Prince give up on Murong Hanzhi, then send Murong Hanzhi out of the palace and completely cut off the Fifth Prince's thoughts.
"Yes, Empress." In fact, Qing Ge didn't understand Consort Yang Shu's meaning, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Also, only you and Bengong know about Yue 'er and Hanzhi. If rumors spread, you know what the consequences will be.”Although she trusted Qing Ge, Consort Yang Shu still looked at her coldly and warned her.
Qing Ge's heart skipped a beat and she immediately lowered her head." Yes, Your Highness, this servant will not say anything!”She was also hoping that Murong Hanzhi would quickly get lost. As for the Fifth Prince and Consort Yang Shu, they were her masters. She still needed to rely on them to enjoy wealth and honor, so she naturally would not betray them.
The Fifth Prince usually looked very weak and had just recovered from a serious illness. He did not expect his personality to be so patient. From last night when he knelt in the hall until this morning when the sun shone into the room, he did not move at all. However, as he knelt longer and longer, his face became paler and paler. His body swayed left and right, and it seemed that he could not hold on any longer.
In fact, he was gambling. He did not believe that his mother would be so cruel as to force him to kneel here and die. Anyway, it was certain that he liked Sister Murong. He could not change it for anyone. Otherwise, he would be punished by the heavens for betraying Sister Murong!
Seeing the cold sweat flowing from his face down his chin to his collar, his face was also pale. Consort Yang Shu, who was sitting behind the curtain, felt so distressed that she was about to cry! Unfilial son still won't repent? Why won't you listen to your mother?
Qing Ge wrung her hands uneasily and tried to persuade Consort Yang Shu,"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince's body has always been very weak. If this continues…" In the end, before she could finish her sentence, the Fifth Prince, who could no longer take it, tilted his body and finally fainted. " Fifth Prince?!" She screamed and jumped out from behind the curtain to pick him up.
"Yue 'er?" Consort Yang Shu was also so anxious that her face turned pale. She staggered out," Yue 'er?! Yue 'er?"
The Fifth Prince's eyes were tightly shut, and his long eyelashes kept trembling. Even in a coma, he could not bear the pain and subconsciously moaned.
"Quick, help him in!" Consort Yang Shu cried out with tears in her eyes. The master and servant struggled to help the Fifth Prince into the room and lay him down on the bed, not knowing what to do. Just as Qing Ge was about to run out to look for the imperial physician, she suddenly realized that Murong Hanzhi was already standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment before she cursed," B * tch, you still dare to come-"
"Qing Ge?" Consort Yang Shu immediately stopped her in a low voice. She looked at Murong Hanzhi without much emotion in her eyes." Hanzhi, you came just in time. Yue 'er has fainted. Help him take a look."”
Murong Hanzhi's face looked fine, and his eyes were still bright. However, there was no expression on his face, and his eyes were a little wooden, as if his soul had been taken away. Qing Ge saw her ghost-like appearance and shivered for no reason, not daring to say any more nasty words.
"Did you faint?" Murong Hanzhi muttered as he walked in step by step. He slowly knelt by the bed." Fifth Prince, you were frightened, weren't you? "Don't be afraid, I'll look at you, I'll look at you." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to take the Fifth Prince's pulse. Her hand was deathly pale, and the blue blood vessels under her skin were clearly visible.
Consort Yang Shu stood quietly at the side and watched. No one knew what she was thinking.
" Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. It will be fine." Murong Hanzhi grinned and revealed a stiff smile. Then, he stood up and walked out step by step.
What was this?
Qing Ge was stunned and subconsciously looked at Consort Yang Shu. A cold wind blew in from outside the door and a layer of fine goosebumps appeared all over her body. Suddenly, she felt very cold.
