Chapter 126 Yu Gongchen's Killing Intention
Yu Gongxuan thought to himself: "No matter what, he will make that little beauty his concubine. Even if it means using unscrupulous means, he will not hesitate."
On the other side, in the East Palace, the Crown Princess gently held the cup of water and carefully fed the Crown Prince water.
The prince's eyes gradually became blurred. Recalling what happened in the side room that day, the doubts in his heart continued to spread like vines.
He really couldn't understand it. The person in the room that day was clearly Shen Yiran, but in the end she turned out to be a palace maid.
The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince in a trance, and her heart tightened, worrying that he was feeling unwell again. She hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again?"
The prince was brought back to reality by the princess' voice. Looking at the woman in front of him with a worried face, he shook his head slightly, but didn't know where to start to express his confusion.
Seeing that the Crown Prince didn't say anything, the Crown Princess became even more anxious. She reached out and touched the Crown Prince's forehead. After confirming that he didn't have a fever, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She said softly, "Brother Chen, don't worry. You can tell Yingying if there is anything. Yingying will definitely face it with you."
Yu Gongchen looked at the Crown Princess. She looked haggard and bloodshot from taking care of herself for several days. Her originally delicate makeup was a little messy due to exhaustion. Her hair hung loosely on her shoulders and her clothes were slightly wrinkled.
Yu Gongchen not only did not feel distressed, but also said with disdain: "Ning Yingying, don't call me Brother Chen, you don't deserve it. Don't think that I will treat you as my legal wife just because you take care of me for a few days.
I tell you, the position of Crown Princess can only belong to Rouer. Sooner or later, I will abolish your position as Crown Princess."
Ning Yingying felt sad when she heard this. She thought to herself, "Did I really do something wrong? I took care of him day and night, but he said such cruel words to me. Is she really so unbearable that she doesn't deserve his love?"
Yu Yingying's heart was filled with grievances and helplessness, tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
Just at this moment, Empress Sun and Nanny Zhang came to the door and heard everything Yu Gongchen said.
Empress Sun was so angry that she was shaking all over, her face was full of anger. She was already dissatisfied with the prince's recent behavior, and now she heard that he treated Ning Yingying like this, she was even more angry.
She walked quickly into the bedroom. The angry Queen Sun stepped forward and slapped the prince, cursing, "You two are both useless. Look at these few days, Yingying has been taking care of you without taking off her clothes, and Ning Rouer, that bitch, is nowhere to be seen.
As soon as you wake up, you think about her. Are you blind? You don't love a girl as good as Yingying."
Queen Sun's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. She looked at the Crown Prince as if she didn't recognize this son who once made her proud.
She looked at Ning Yingying distressedly, her heart full of pity for her. Empress Sun gently took Ning Yingying's hand and soothed her softly, "Child, you have been wronged."
"Mother, I..." Before Ning Yingying could finish her words, a string of crystal tears fell on the back of Empress Sun's hand with a "pa" sound, rolling down like pearls from a broken string.
Empress Sun was slightly startled, and looking at the tears dripping on the back of her hand, she felt even more reluctant. She gently wiped away the tears on Ning Yingying's face with her fingers, and said gently: "Good child, don't cry anymore. With mother here, I will never let you suffer such grievances again."
Empress Sun turned to look at Yu Gongchen on the bed and said sternly, "From today on, before Yingying is pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, you cannot go to that bitch Ning Rouer's yard. If you don't obey, I will punish her for seducing the prince and execute her!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Gongchen's face showed anger and he was about to refute, but after seeing the stern look of Empress Sun, he swallowed the words back.
He thought to himself, "For Rou'er's safety, I must first agree to my mother's request. When the time is right, I will kill Ning Yingying. This woman, relying on my mother's pressure, forcibly snatched Rou'er's position as the principal wife."
Empress Sun felt slightly satisfied when she saw that Yu Gongchen was unwilling but dared not speak. However, when she met Yu Gongchen's cold eyes, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
She immediately understood what he was thinking, so she warned him sternly: "Yu Gongchen, I'm telling you clearly, if anything happens to Yingying, I will never let that bitch Ning Rouer go. You better think it through."
The moment Yu Gongchen's thoughts were seen through by his mother, he felt panic in his heart. His eyes flickered a few times, and he unconsciously avoided the sharp gaze of Queen Sun.
He calmed himself down, trying to calm himself down, then whispered, "Mother, please calm down. I have no intention of hurting Yingying." There was a hint of urgency in Yu Gongchen's tone, trying to make Queen Sun believe his words.
Yu Gongchen lowered his head slightly and continued, "I will follow your mother's instructions and treat Yingying well, and will not let her suffer any grievances again. Please rest assured, mother."
Yu Gongchen knew that if he did not make a promise at this time, it would inevitably cause greater dissatisfaction from Queen Sun. For Rou'er's safety, he could only temporarily stabilize Queen Sun.
Although he was still reluctant, Yu Gongchen knew that he could not anger Queen Sun at this time. He secretly decided to pretend to obey and wait for the right time before making plans.
After hearing what Yu Gongchen said, Empress Sun stared at him closely, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.
After a moment, she raised her chin slightly and said seriously, "Humph, it's better to do as you say. Don't think that I don't know the little calculations in your mind. If you dare to pretend to obey and hurt Yingying in the slightest, I will never forgive you."
Then, Empress Sun looked at Ning Yingying again, her eyes full of encouragement and expectation. "Yingying, don't be sad. Take good care of yourself and give birth to a family for the royal family soon. As long as you work hard, no one can shake the position of the Crown Princess."
Ning Yingying felt mixed emotions when she heard what Queen Sun said. She was grateful for Queen Sun's protection, but she also felt helpless about her situation.
She nodded slightly and replied softly, "I will follow your mother's teachings." However, there was no joy in her heart. She felt as if she was trapped in a vortex from which she could not escape.
Just when the three of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts, Ning Rouer's voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you awake?" The voice was anxious and full of expectation.
Then, she was seen stumbling in with the help of a maid. Her hair was slightly messy, her face was anxious, and her eyes were full of concern for Yu Gongchen.
When Empress Sun saw this, her eyebrows raised and her eyes were full of disgust and anger.
She raised her chin slightly and said sternly, "Hmph, Ning Rouer, you still have the nerve to come here? Where were you during the days when the prince was ill? Now that the prince has just woken up, you ran away so fast. What are you doing here?"
Ning Rouer was so frightened by Queen Sun's sudden scolding that her whole body trembled. Her face turned pale in an instant and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
