Rong Yinhua was stunned for a moment before he understood what his father meant, and his face suddenly turned red: "Dad, where did you think you were going? In fact, I smashed it myself, I'm just a little angry..."

Rong's father knew that he had misunderstood, but he did not feel relieved. Instead, his brows furrowed deeper: "Father, I just wanted to ask you, why did you send someone to deliver a letter to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come out of the palace to see you?"

Rong Yinhua naturally used the same rhetoric to deceive the prince to deal with him, but after hearing this Rong's father angrily yelled: "Nonsense! Your Highness has a rich body, how could you invite him over knowing that there is danger?"

After saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he sent someone to check the room she mentioned. Of course, no one could find anything if they went upstairs.

Moreover, she thought that it would be easy to lure the prince out and kill him, so she did not put much thought into setting up the scene. There was no trace of the so-called murder of the emperor in the temple.

Rong's father was very nervous at first, but after he looked through the entire temple as if facing an enemy, but found nothing suspicious, he slowly came back to his senses.

It was already daylight at this time, and the monks in the temple were all detained in one place in fear. He thought he had figured out the cause and effect, so he quickly released the monks and added some sesame oil money as compensation.

After that, he took the troubled daughter directly back to the house. As soon as he got home, he dismissed his servants and asked, "Rong Yinhua, tell me truthfully. You tried to lure His Highness there the night before. What did you want to do?"

Rong Yinhua's face turned ugly for a moment, thinking that he had discovered what he had done, and hurriedly defended: "Why can't my daughter understand what the father is saying? I told you all, but I accidentally overheard someone plotting. , so I urgently informed the prince brother."

"How dare you lie!" Rong's father was so angry that he smashed the cup.

Broken porcelain pieces flew away, and one of them just happened to graze Rong Yinhua's cheek, leaving a thin scar.

"Ah--" She screamed and subconsciously raised her hands to hold her face, but she felt a wetness in her palms. When she took it away, she saw a little blood on it!

"My face, my face!" Rong Yinhua exclaimed, "Father, call the imperial doctor quickly. My face cannot be disfigured. I want to be a queen, so I must not disfigure it!"

Father Rong originally felt a little regretful when he saw the blood on her cheeks, but after hearing her words, he became furious and raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

"How could I have a shameless daughter like you?" Rong's father looked at his daughter who was beaten to the ground and kept quiet, and he reprimanded bitterly, "His Highness did not like you back then and chose the daughter of the Shi family as his concubine. , Now that she has given birth to a grandson, her status is stable, do you think you can lure His Highness over with some tricks? "

"If I had known that you had such thoughts, I would never have believed your lies and kept you at home until now. If it was because of you alone that you ruined the reputation of the Rong family and ruined the relationship with His Highness, I, Rong Xue, would The whole Rong family is a sinner!"

Only then did Rong Yinhua realize the reason why he was slapped and reprimanded, and he felt ashamed and angry: "Dad, what are you talking about? How could I have such thoughts about the prince's brother?"

Only then did she regret that in order to avoid punishment, she put all the blame on the prince. It was obvious that she despised that useless man, but now it was her who was despised by her father and was still holding on to him. .

"You still dare to quibble?" Rong's father was furious, "You have already said that you want to be the queen, and you are not saying that you have bad intentions and treat your father as a fool?"

"I -" Rong Yinhua naturally couldn't say that she wanted to be not the prince but the queen of the second prince. She couldn't say anything for a while, so she could only cover her face with her hands and silently lower her eyes, suffering the loss of being dumb.

"Your Highness is tolerant of your cousin for the sake of your Majesty, but this does not mean that you can have any thoughts that you shouldn't have." Rong's father scolded her angrily again. Seeing that she kept her head down and said nothing, I thought she knew she was wrong and finally felt calmer.

However, he was still cruel and said: "From now on, you must stay at home and reflect, and you are not allowed to leave the house. After this matter is over, I will choose a marriage for you immediately."

Rong Yinhua knew that it would be useless to say anything now, unless she dared to tell the second prince's conspiracy, but of course she did not dare, so she could only say nothing and acquiesced to his arrangement.

Anyway, Brother Ji will be on the throne soon, and none of the things her father wants to do will come true. She is not anxious about this at all. What she is really anxious about is...

"Daddy, my daughter knows she was wrong," Rong Yinhua endured the humiliation in her heart and begged pitifully, "Please, daddy, take pity on your daughter and hire an imperial doctor for her. My daughter's face hurts so much."

After all, she was the child she had loved for more than ten years. Seeing that she seemed to have really realized her mistake, Rong's father agreed and quickly changed his clothes and rushed into the palace.

Naturally, such a small matter as asking the imperial doctor did not require him to come in person. The main reason for his coming here was to reply to His Highness the Crown Prince about his daughter.

At this time, he was extremely lucky. Fortunately, His Highness did not believe his daughter's lies. Otherwise, if something happened, the Rong family's reputation and the good relationship with His Highness might have been destroyed.

I really don’t know how he raised such a stupid daughter. You know the emperor is currently ill! If His Highness really caused a sexual incident during this period, what would the Emperor think of him? What do the ministers think of him?

Even because of the strange looks from others, His Highness couldn't really accept her in this situation. How could her plan succeed?

The only thing Rong's father was happy about was that the excuse she gave was quite reasonable. He only responded that his daughter was timid and mistook other people's gossip for truth, so he would not be held responsible.

As he expected, after the prince learned that it was just a misunderstanding, he did not go into details and even gave him some supplements and asked him to take them back to calm his cousin's shock.

Although Rong's father felt guilty, in order not to discover his daughter's true thoughts, he had no choice but to accept it with great gratitude. When he returned home, he told his wife and mother that before the marriage was settled, his daughter would never go out again. She was not allowed to attend the banquet.

Rong Yinhua was also notified here, but she didn't care too much. Anyway, once the emperor died and brother Ji broke into the palace, her father's ban would be in vain for her. Now she only cares about her face.

Fortunately, she was only slightly scratched by the porcelain shard. After seeing it, the imperial doctor said that after applying medicine for a few days, she would completely recover without leaving any scars, so she felt relieved.

This day came very quickly. Five days later, when Rong Yinhua was washing up, he found that his face was indeed as good as before, smooth and tender with no trace of scars visible. Just when he was overjoyed, a mourner came to the house.

There has been no good news in the Heavenly Palace these days. The ministers' mansions have already prepared mourning clothes, and the Rong Mansion is no exception. The young and old in the mansion quickly changed into them. The grandfather brought the old lady, his son, daughter-in-law, eldest grandson and others to the palace for the funeral. .

The other people who stayed in the mansion did not dare to show it on the surface, but in fact they were secretly happy. After all, the emperor died and the prince ascended to the throne, and their relationship with them became closer.

The happiest person among them is Rong Yinhua, but unlike others, she is happy that tonight brother Ji will enter the palace and proclaim himself emperor, and she will be the queen!

Listening to the sisters discuss with suppressed excitement the benefits they would get after the prince ascends the throne, she suddenly felt that everyone was drunk and I was alone. Look! These people will all come to fawn over her from now on!

At the same time, Shaoyang Ji also received the news that the emperor had died. As a prince, no matter how little attention he received, he still had to go to the palace to attend the funeral, which gave him the opportunity to start an uprising.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he explained everything, put on mourning clothes and hurried into the palace. At this time, the emperor's mourning hall had been set up, and the cries in the hall were loud. Everyone who came and went had a solemn face, as if they were mourning for their heirs, but the real feeling in their hearts was But only they themselves know their thoughts.

Just like him, his father really died, but unfortunately there was no sadness in his heart, but he was extremely excited.

Shaoyangji found an inconspicuous corner and knelt down, watching all kinds of absurd and exaggerated performances expressionlessly. He silently rehearsed the plan countless times in his heart to ensure that it would be absolutely perfect.

Suddenly, the appearance of a figure broke the peace in his heart. It was Shaoyang Yan. As the prince of the East Palace, it could be said that he was the next emperor who was destined to be the next emperor. Naturally, everyone was eyeing him.

Not only Shaoyangji, everyone was attracted by him. The world is so unfair. Some people are born with brilliance, while some people are born as disgusting as maggots in ditches.

He and Shaoyang Yan were such a bright contrast, but maggots may not always see the light of day. He couldn't wait to pull the man off the altar to see if he could still maintain his current status after being stepped into the mud. Such a proud look.

"Oh!" As if she sensed malice, the child in the princess's belly suddenly moved violently, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"The child kicked you again?" Yang Yan quickly supported her, and then asked her personal maid to help her back to rest.

"Isn't this not good?" The Crown Princess looked around and looked confused.

"It's okay, Gu Gu is here!" Yang Yan knew her worry and comforted her, "You are pregnant. It would be terrible if something goes wrong. Don't worry, Gu Gu will tell the mother."

The Crown Princess is now eight months old and her body is still heavy. She is also worried about the child in her belly. She hesitated but agreed: "Thank you for the shirt."

Yang Yan nodded lightly, and she helped him down from left to right.

All the clan members, ministers and concubines saw all this, but at this time no one came up to say something inappropriate. After all, everyone knew that the Crown Princess was favored, and she would soon be the Queen.
