The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 260 It Rained for 3 Days

Early the next morning, the palace maid went to invite Xinrong into the palace.

Only then did Guanbao and his family realize that such a big mess had occurred in Yonghe Palace.

I originally thought that the Fifth Prince was a good person, but it turned out that not only did he have affairs outside, he also quarreled with his mother over this woman and even forced her to commit suicide.

It was simply unbelievable. Guan Bao and his wife felt that it was even more bizarre than the storybook.

But such a bizarre thing actually happened to their daughter, the family their daughter was about to marry into.

"Why didn't you tell Father that the Fifth Prince was such a bastard!"

Guan Bao’s first reaction was to cancel the engagement.

No family would send their daughter to such a family, not even if he was a prince.

He even went into the palace to wake up Concubine Yu. Why was there no one in the palace? Did he want his daughter to wait on him?

Don't even think about it.

Guan Bao was about to send the man back when Xinrong spoke.

"Father, I'm also shocked by this, but when I was in the palace, besides the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yu was the best to me. She was like her own daughter. So, regardless of whether there's an engagement or not, I have to go just for Concubine Yu."

Xinrong's words made sense, and Fu Jin nodded: "Xinrong is right, we can't be such heartless people. Your father is just angry, don't worry about it, go."

Xinrong’s thoughts are very simple.

It was only natural for the woman to break off the engagement after such a scandal had occurred, but this would inevitably affect her reputation. At the very least, it would be difficult for her to marry someone better than Yongqi.

It would be better to pretend to be loyal now, and then make other plans after entering the palace to see the situation.

Moreover, if Concubine Yu really couldn't hold on and the Fifth Prince was in mourning, the engagement would naturally be annulled without Father having to say anything.

If Concubine Yu could survive, her unwavering care and support would naturally move Concubine Yu even more, and she would naturally treat her well after they got married.

She had not originally been interested in the Fifth Prince, as she knew how much of a bastard he was. But Concubine Yu was really good to her, and Xinrong felt that it was great to have a mother-in-law like Concubine Yu.

Moreover, taking good care of Concubine Yu at this critical moment will naturally earn you a good reputation.

Everyone will look up to her.

Xinrong finished expressing his thoughts. Although Guanbao and his wife did not fully agree with him, they still chose to respect Xinrong's ideas.

Xinrong has grown up, and they can see how close Xinrong is to Concubine Yu. In this case, they let their daughter do what she wants. At worst, they will be her father and mother to back her up.

But when Xinrong entered the palace and saw Concubine Yu's suicide note, she was still shocked to learn that Concubine Yu was still thinking about Yongqi marrying her at the last moment.

But Concubine Yu was naturally doing this entirely for her son.

So in the past few days, Xinrong and Cailian took turns to look after Concubine Yu and talk to her.

It would be best if Concubine Yu could wake up.

Just as Xinrong expected, everyone in the palace now speaks highly of Xinrong, saying that she is a pure and filial child.

Yongqi must be blind not to cherish such a good girl. Instead, he chases after Xiaoyanzi and disobeys his mother.

It's raining again.

It has been three whole days, and the Fifth Prince has been kneeling outside the door to atone for his sins.

At first, someone came to persuade the Fifth Prince to go to rest at night, but the Fifth Prince refused to leave, so they had to give up.

After all, his mother's life or death is uncertain, and as the murderer who made his mother so angry, it is only right for the Fifth Prince to kneel down and atone for his sins.

As servants, they just need to give a few words of advice and that's their duty.

It was the transition period between spring and summer, so it wasn't supposed to rain so much. But it just happened that it rained almost every day during these three days.

I don’t know whether God was mourning for Concubine Yu or punishing Yongqi, the unfilial son.

There were three heavy rains in a row.

When it first started raining, the Fifth Prince refused to go under the corridor to shelter from the rain. Cai Lian would go to him crying, holding an umbrella for him, and comforting him, and caring about his health.

But after being rejected twice, Cai Lian could watch Yongqi get wet in the rain without any emotion.

I originally wanted to improve their favorability, but it turned out that they didn't need it at all.

Then let’s take a shower.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's so pitiful to look at.

"What? Are you still feeling distressed?" Xinrong walked forward and saw Cailian staring at Yongqi in the yard in a daze. He naturally thought that Cailian was feeling distressed.

The two of them have been getting along quite well these days. Xinrong had a good impression of Cailian when he lived in the palace before, and now that they are familiar with each other, he finds that Cailian is a good housekeeper.

Concubine Yu was unconscious, and Yongqi was in such a bad state. The only reason there was no chaos in Yonghe Palace was thanks to Cailian's proper command.

Xinrong naturally has a liking for such women.

Hearing this, Cai Lian turned around and said, "Yes, Gege, the Fifth Prince is so pitiful. I'm so worried that he won't be able to hold on. How come he didn't catch a cold even after being in the rain?"

The Fifth Prince hadn't changed his clothes for a long time, so they were soaked by the rain. Add to that the slight breeze, and even a strong body would catch a cold.

But the Fifth Prince insisted on kneeling straight, even refusing to eat, drink or sleep. Occasionally, when Cai Lian woke up at night, he would secretly look at her. The Fifth Prince did not even slack off at night.

For three days, he was like a sculpture, motionless despite wind and rain.

It really makes one curious how he managed to hold on.

Xinrong was also very curious. These past few days, the two of them had been secretly looking at the Fifth Prince whenever they had time. However, the Fifth Prince was obviously different today, with a flushed face.

"He has a fever." Xinrong said firmly.

Cai Lian then noticed that the Fifth Prince's face was indeed a little red, even his ears were red, which meant he had a fever.

Cai Lian still remembered her infatuated and gentle personality, and asked in a panic: "What should we do? Should we help the prince find an imperial physician?"

Xinrong had long seen through Cailian's green tea behavior. She chuckled and said, "Okay, stop pretending. He will faint naturally if he can't hold on any longer. We can deal with it when the time comes."

After saying that, Xinrong turned around and went back to talk to Concubine Yu. Instead of caring about the Fifth Prince, she might as well wake up Concubine Yu quickly.

Yes, Xinrong had seen through it long ago. Cailian's usual gentleness, consideration and infatuation towards the Fifth Prince were all pretended. In fact, Cailian felt the same as her in her heart, and was more disgusted with the Fifth Prince.

This made Xinrong even more fond of him. She said, apart from Xiaoyanzi, who else would be so blind as to fall for the Fifth Prince?

I guess even if Xiaoyanzi came, she would instantly get annoyed when she saw the miserable and cowardly look of the Fifth Prince.

Xiaoyanzi: No, I will kneel down with him with heartache, we are true love.

Xinrong left leisurely, leaving Cailian with a shocked look on her face.

How on earth did she see through her? Was she really that bad at pretending?

Being seen through by Xinrong was boring, so she felt like giving up.

If the Fifth Prince likes to kneel, then let him kneel. At first they thought he was kneeling to atone for his sins, but now they have somewhat seen through the Fifth Prince's thoughts.

He was not atonement, he was just using self-abuse to force Concubine Yu to wake up. He knew that if he knelt like this, they would convey it to Concubine Yu, and he was betting that Concubine Yu could hear it.

Moreover, the Fifth Prince is going to let Xiaoyanzi down again, and he is in pain. Only in this way can we see his struggle. It is not that he does not want to marry Xiaoyanzi, he is just forced to do so.

After seeing through the Fifth Prince, Xinrong and Cailian were left with only contempt for him.

A person like this is lucky to be a prince. Without this identity, he would be nothing.
