Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 290 Sad Clouds Like Smoke

"Princess, thank you. I'm done eating. I'll go pack up and send you back to the palace." Jing Zichu said, then turned around and left, quickly packed up and arranged for the carriage.

The Sixth Princess was naturally happy. She nodded shyly and got into the carriage with the help of Lily. Jing Zichu straightened his back and escorted her on horseback.

Along the way, the Sixth Princess would secretly lift the curtain of the carriage from time to time and stare at Jing Zichu's back in fascination. Jing Zichu was very skilled in martial arts, so he could naturally feel the Sixth Princess's gaze and sped up somewhat unnaturally.

"Lily, what should I do? I like him so much now. My heart beats fast when I see him," the Sixth Princess retracted her gaze, lowered the curtain, and said with a sigh.

"Princess, the Prince of Ningguo is indeed a handsome man. Any woman would be moved when she sees him, let alone the princess, who is now in love for the first time."

"Oh! What should I do? I really can't help myself," the Sixth Princess murmured to herself.

"Your Highness, I am worried about you. Maybe this is just a momentary impulse of yours. After all, you have only seen him twice. Your Highness, please calm down and don't let the Queen see it, or you will be punished."

"Lily, you don't understand. I really like him. He's all I can think of when I'm in the palace. But as a princess of the royal family, I can't control myself. What's more, he is of such a noble status that I'm afraid Duke Ningguo would never let his son marry me." When she said this, the Sixth Princess felt bitter.

"Princess, please try the tea prepared in this carriage. Since you understand everything, you might as well go and ask the emperor for help. If the emperor agrees, it would be good to grant the marriage." Lily was just a palace maid and had no foresight. She could only comfort the Sixth Princess.

Although the Sixth Princess was arrogant and domineering before, she has grown a lot after the porridge distribution event in the south of the city, and has a clearer understanding of her responsibilities as a royal daughter.

Although she was domineering, she never beat or punished the servants without reason. Lily grew up with the Sixth Princess and was very loyal to her.

She looked at the Sixth Princess worriedly and said, "Princess, whatever decision you make, Lily will support you. Princess, we are almost there, go back early to avoid being discovered."

"Well, let's go." The Sixth Princess put away her emotions and walked up to Jing Zichu in a graceful manner.

"Thank you for seeing me off, Prince. I am very happy today. Thank you!" The Sixth Princess blushed and quickly ran into the palace, leaving Jing Zichu, who had not yet reacted, disheveled in the wind.

Jing Zichu looked at the Sixth Princess' disappearing back, raised the corners of his mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

"Jing Zichu, let's go back. Everyone has gone far away," the driver joked.

"You go back first. I'm going back to Duke Ningguo's Mansion. Be careful on the road." Jing Zichu said as he galloped on his horse.

"Yu'er, there is something I want to tell you." Yan Wuque hugged Yun Yuxi, his hands wandering around restlessly. Yun Yuxi was distracted by her teasing and seemed not to hear anything.

"Ah. What did you say?" Yun Yuxi asked with a blushing face, muttering in her heart, "Damn it, I was teased by a bastard."

"Yu'er, the Mu family is back. I wanted to tell you after a while, but I was afraid that you would blame me for not telling you in advance. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to tell you to prevent you from always worrying about the Mu family."

"Your Highness, are you saying that my grandfather and his family are back?" Yun Yuxi looked at Yan Wuque in disbelief, and then tears started to fall.

"Yu'er, don't cry. The old man and uncle of the Mu family have returned safely. We have to thank Zichu for all this. He was the one who personally found the missing members of the Mu family."

"Prince, what did you say? The Mu family is missing. What's going on? I want to know everything." Yun Yuxi choked with tears.

"Don't cry, Grandpa Mu and Uncle Mu are safe and sound. You are pregnant with our child, and your unstable emotions will affect the baby." Yan Wuque wiped Yun Yuxi's tears and patted her back gently.

After a long while, Yun Yuxi finally recovered, took a deep breath, and let Yan Wuque continue speaking.

Yan Wuque told everything without reservation about the strange things that happened on the way back from the Mu family. Yun Yuxi seemed to spit fire from her eyes as she listened.

"Yu'er, don't worry, I'm here for you. The person behind this will soon be exposed. Currently, Zichu has arranged for the Rebirth Tower to track them down, and there are some clues."

"Your Highness, my grandfather is back. Where are his brother and uncle now? I want to see them. They are my relatives. If I find out who is behind this, I will make sure they are killed without a burial place." Yun Yuxi was filled with anger, and Yan Wuque hugged Yun Yuxi tightly with heartache.

"They were arranged by me to stay in a farm outside the city. There are too many people in Kyoto, so it's not suitable for the old man and uncle of the Mu family to stay here. The timing is not right either. I will take you to see them tomorrow."

"Thank you for doing so much for me. There is one more thing I want to tell the prince. I suspect that Aunt Lan's son is my biological brother. Please take some time out in the next two days to accompany me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I have something to do."

"Do you have any way to prove that you are siblings? After all, Aunt Lan has passed away and no one who knows the truth has been found yet," Yan Wuque asked curiously.

"Your Highness, I will naturally find a way." Yun Yuxi thought of her own space and said confidently.

"That kid's life is a little better now. You arranged for him to go to the academy. He is working very hard. My people are always watching him." Yan Wuque said with a smile, and his hands began to become dishonest again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"What can you give me to thank me?" Yan Wuque's voice was hoarse, his eyes full of emotions.

Yun Yuxi wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked, and then the room was filled with spring scenery.

The Second Prince's Mansion is extremely lively today, as the Second Prince finally married his cousin as he wished.

The new concubine was the queen's niece, so her status and position were self-evident. Even the principal wife, Yun Ruyan, did not dare to suppress her.

The second prince returned to the bridal chamber drunk. Concubine Qi gently supported him and asked the maid to bring him sobering soup.

The second prince, who had drunk the hangover medicine, became much more sober. After washing up, he hugged his concubine and made love with her. Concubine Qi leaned tenderly in the second prince's arms.

"Rou'er, I finally married you. Don't worry, I will love you. It's a bit unfair for you to be my concubine. If the Japanese king gets that position, he will never forget Rou'er's sacrifice."

Qi Rou was not satisfied with what the second prince said. What she was thinking about was the position of queen, not concubine. Despite this, Qi Rou did not refute the second prince and smiled very gently.

Qi Rou, who was experiencing sex for the first time, looked even more charming at this moment, which aroused the Second Prince's lust again, and the two of them soon became together again.

"Princess Princess, the prince has married his cousin. I'm afraid our house will be in trouble in the future. She is the niece of the Queen. Who among us dares to offend her?" Mingchun looked at Yun Ruyan with some concern.

Yun Ruyan touched her belly which had not yet shown any sign of pregnancy, feeling a little aroused. She thought that being pregnant would earn her the Second Prince's favor. However, who would have known that the Second Prince could not have sex because she was pregnant, fearing that it would hurt the child, and he had not come to her yard for a long time.

"Go down, I want to stay quiet for a while. You don't have to keep watch tonight, so go to bed early." It was a rare occasion for Yun Ruyan to let the servants go to rest.

Mingchun was very happy that he could finally take a rest, so he thanked and left.

Yun Ruyan couldn't help but burst into tears as she recalled every little detail. She didn't know since when, her heart had been filled with the Second Prince. She once thought that she liked Yan Wuque, but only now did she realize that after marrying the Second Prince, she had never thought of Yan Wuque even once.

She understood that all her wealth and glory were tied to the Second Prince. She was ambitious, but she had feelings that she shouldn't have.

Today is the day that the concubine is going to get married, and it is also the day that the Second Prince should have spent the night with her, but how could the Second Prince miss his wedding night with the concubine?

Yun Ruyan stood at the window, looking at the burning candle, covering her mouth and crying silently.

She thought of Yun Yuxi. Every time she saw Yun Yuxi's happy face, she became jealous and crazy.

The wind started to blow, and Yun Ruyan couldn't help but shiver. She coughed twice, turned over and lay down, touching the cold bed, her heart full of bitterness.

She knew that the palace would be in even more turmoil in the future...
