The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

The news of the queen's sudden death came out that night.

It was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard.

Xu Rongrong had just changed her clothes and was about to go visit Miss Wei under the cover of night when the death knell in the palace rang at this moment.

Her heart tightened and she walked out of Xinghui Hall quickly, running into Mu Rong who looked hurried.

The two men's eyes met in the air, both revealing expressions of disbelief.

They had calculated the fate of the queen being deposed, and even expected her to die quietly in the cold palace. The only thing they had not thought was that the queen would suddenly pass away at this critical moment.

On the other side, Wali had dressed up as a servant. He had planned to go with Xu Rongrong to visit his sister, but was told that he could not go today.

"The Queen has passed away. The Marquis and his wife have to enter the palace overnight according to the rules. The visit... to the noble lady will have to be postponed." Wen Yao hurried over, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.

Vali could only nod upon hearing this.

After all, the death of a queen is indeed a big deal.

But he couldn't hide the look of disappointment on his face.

Wen Yao felt a little reluctant and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Master Wali. Mr. Shu is taking care of you now. You will be fine."

"Ok, I know."

……

Mu Ai drove the carriage, and the marquis's carriage sped towards the palace at lightning speed.

Inside the carriage, Xu Rongrong remained silent. The noisy sound of cicadas in her ears made her feel upset.

Mu Rong was sitting on the other side of the carriage, looking at the depressed look on Xu Rongrong's face. He wanted to get closer to comfort her but was afraid that she would notice anything wrong with her body.

"The Queen's crimes were exposed in front of all the officials at the Qixi Banquet. It was expected that she would end up like this, but..." He paused.

"But no one could have imagined it would happen so soon." Xu Rongrong continued, "Did the Queen die at the hands of Your Majesty? Your Majesty, are you willing to do that?!"

Although she had asked Luo Chen to spread some shocking remarks in the capital these days, these remarks were fatal enough to the deposed queen, but not enough to make His Majesty kill her.

Mu Rong smiled gently and tried to comfort her: "Okay, don't let your imagination run wild. We will be entering the palace soon. Let's take a look at the situation in the palace first."

He really wanted to pinch her cheeks to calm her down.

However, the slightly raised palm eventually fell down weakly.

……

The carriage slowly stopped outside the palace gate, and the surroundings were so quiet that even the air seemed to have frozen.

Xu Rongrong was wondering if they were the only ones who came, but after getting off the carriage, she found that almost all the royal family members had arrived.

They just kept silent tacitly.

The white banners hanging at the palace gate fluttered in the night wind, and everyone's faces showed solemn expressions. Even the horses driving the carriages seemed to feel the heavy atmosphere and did not dare to make any sound.

Prince Wu Tianxiao of Ning was standing in front of the palace gate, supporting his wife Mu Qianyin. Mu Qianyin was eight months pregnant and was very heavy when walking. If they were to walk into the palace, it would be very strenuous. Fortunately, the palace had been prepared and the sedan chair had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time.

"Even Sister Mu is here." Xu Rongrong said in a low voice.

"Yes, the queen has passed away. According to the rules, all the ladies of the royal family must be present... Don't worry, I have arranged everything in the palace. Princess Ning will have someone secretly protecting her. As for you, I will also let Mu Qi keep an eye on you at all times." Mu Rong responded in a low voice.

Now he is in charge of the defense of the capital, and Chu He is the deputy commander of the imperial guards. The two of them may be dispatched by His Majesty at any time, so Xu Rongrong must have someone secretly guarding her to be at ease.

Seeing his arrangement, Xu Rongrong felt a warm feeling in her heart: "I understand. My Lord, you should also be more careful."

After all, the development of the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations, and it is still unknown whether there are other hidden dangers.

Seeing that she cared about him, Mu Rong smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll listen to Rongrong."

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming towards them. Looking back, he saw Lin Jiaoyue standing not far away.

In just a few days, she has become so thin that she is unrecognizable.

The fourth prince Wu Tianqi had gone somewhere unknown, leaving her alone standing beside the carriage.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong was full of resentment and unwillingness.

After returning from the Qixi Festival banquet, Lin Jiaoyue smashed all the ointments and powders in the room to pieces as soon as she got home.

She seemed to be able to smell the blood in the air, the stench spread from her face to her whole body, and finally filled the entire room. She vomited continuously, almost vomiting bile. However, no one cared about all this pain and torture.

Wu Tianqi stayed in the front hall the whole time, anxiously waiting for news from the palace.

When Ajing was summoned into the palace, he was shocked to find that there were spies of his father around him.

At that moment, he became even more desperate. So, he ordered people to go back to the inner courtyard to keep an eye on Lin Jiaoyue. If there was any change in the palace, they would immediately make her look like she committed suicide. In this way, he could pin all the blame on her.

After all, the secret medicine obtained from the Queen was originally intended to heal Lin Jiaoyue's injuries.

The charge of secretly colluding with the queen to please this woman is always better than any other.

However, before the emperor could come to a conclusion on the Qixi Banquet, the queen suddenly passed away...

This made Wu Tianqi even more confused.

But Lin Jiaoyue's life can be saved for the time being.

Although Lin Jiaoyue didn't know Wu Tianqi's specific plan, she could feel the murderous atmosphere in the mansion.

In the past few days, she couldn't eat or sleep. Whenever it was late at night, fear and anxiety would surge over her like a tide, enveloping her tightly.

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate tonight, Wu Tianqi left her alone without hesitation.

The first scene she saw after getting off the car was Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong looking at each other affectionately.

At that moment, her heart felt like it was cut by a sharp knife, and she felt so painful that she couldn't breathe. Because all of this should have belonged to her!

Mu Rong turned around, blocking her sight, but he had one more plan in mind: after entering the palace, he must let Mu Qi keep an eye on her, so that no inexplicable person would scare his little girl.

"Sister Xu, you're here." There was a girl next to Xu Rongrong: Ning Yuyuan.

"Sister Yuan, please don't act rashly." Wuling Marquis' wife followed and walked a few steps to Xu Rongrong's side, "I'm sorry to bother the Marquis and his wife."

"It's okay." Mu Rong looked at Ning Yuyuan's hands that had already wrapped around Xu Rongrong's arms, and his eyes flashed.

Ning Yuyuan was a little surprised... Why did she seem to see envy in the Marquis' eyes?

I must have seen it wrong!

As everyone was silent, the palace gate slowly opened.

The eunuch Wang Gonggong, who had always been beside the queen, came out. He was wearing mourning clothes and his hat had been changed to a completely white one.

Behind him were four rows of palace maids and eunuchs. Like eunuch Wang, they were wearing mourning clothes and each held mourning clothes prepared for members of the royal family.

Then he knelt down straight.

"The Queen has passed away!" The mournful voice echoed through the night sky.
