My husband faked his death so I could remarry, but I got involved with my crazy brother and can'

Su Zhirou was taken aback, not expecting Prince Rui to change so quickly. She looked at him with a hint of surprise: "Your Highness is joking, isn't he? I have no grudge against the Princess Consort."

"You naturally have no grudge against her, but your earring is the culprit that caused the princess to fall into the lake."

The man's gaze turned cold as he looked at her: "I have promised the Princess Consort that I will not pursue the matter of the Earl's family, but I did not promise her that I would not pursue the matter of you. You have harmed my Princess Consort, what is your punishment?"

As Prince Rui spoke, he threw the earring on the ground, and Su Zhirou recognized it as her lost earring.

His face instantly turned extremely pale.

She never imagined that her lost earring would cause her such a big trouble.

"Your Highness, I really didn't mean to. This earring was lost a long time ago, and I had no idea it could cause such a big problem."

Su Zhirou turned pale and immediately knelt on the ground to beg.

If she had known this would happen, she would never have let her earrings be left out in the open.

Seeing Prince Rui's grim expression, Su Zhirou hurriedly knelt down and pleaded with Xie Huaiyun, who was standing to the side: "Your Highness, I am your wife! Aren't you going to save me?"

Now that things have come to this, at this critical juncture of life and death, shouldn't he speak up for himself?

"Your Highness..."

Xie Huaiyun spoke up, and Su Zhirou's hope was immediately rekindled.

really.

He was just pretending to be indifferent to himself before.

She was, after all, his Crown Princess. If she were really captured by Prince Rui, it wouldn't just be her reputation that was lost.

They were husband and wife as one, sharing both glory and loss.

Thinking of this, Su Zhirou softened her expression and stared intently at Xie Huaiyun.

"Brother Huaiyun, didn't we agree on this just now?" Prince Rui's tone carried a hint of danger.

Xie Huaiyun hesitated, then finally said, "I beg Your Highness to show mercy."

Prince Rui immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Take him away."

His voice was deep, and Su Zhirou was even more surprised that Xie Huaiyun had no intention of saving her at all.

"Young Master, I am your wife! What are you doing? Have you no regard for the reputation of the Duke's Mansion?"

Su Zhirou was taken away, and Dong Rong tried to step forward, but was kicked away: "Madam!"

Xie Huaiyun feigned grief: "Don't worry, the prince is kind-hearted and won't do anything to you. As for you, take good care of yourself. Someone will send you back in three days."

His face was full of emotion, as if his eyes were glistening with tears.

Su Zhirou hadn't expected Xie Huaiyun to be so cruel, and her gaze towards Xie Huaiyun shifted repeatedly: "Your Highness..."

"What time is it?"

Su Yingxue woke up from her afternoon nap and glanced out the window; it was already dusk.

The clouds, scorched by the sunlight, turned a dazzling red, a breathtaking sight that captivated the eye.

"Madam, it's already late afternoon. You've slept all afternoon. Would you like to have lunch?" Xia Zhi looked at his wife, who seemed listless, with concern.

Qiuye, on the other hand, was all smiles, as if she had some good news to share.

"Some pastries will suffice."

After a long day of fussing, I didn't even get to eat a meal, so I went straight to sleep when I got back.

Now I just feel dizzy and weak.

"Madam, the First Madam has been taken away by Prince Rui. I heard she's been imprisoned in the inner prison to be punished!" Qiu Ye said with a smile.

"Really? What's the matter?" Xia Zhi asked with a curious expression.

She never expected Su Zhirou to be so blind as to dare offend Prince Rui.

Isn't this like walking into a knife's edge?

Su Yingxue was also slightly surprised.

Although Su Zhirou left in her previous life, this never actually happened.

Could it be that I influenced the plot's direction?

Thinking of this possibility, Su Yingxue's breathing became slightly rapid.

If that were the case, perhaps by eliminating the crown prince, they could live in peace.

"The reason the princess fell into the water is not because of anything else, but because of the first wife's earring."

Autumn Leaves Explanation:

"Prince Rui is known for his vindictiveness and dotes on his wife like the apple of his eye. Now that she's the culprit, how could he possibly forgive her?"

"They're probably being taken away to vent the princess's anger."

Qiuye smiled broadly. "But it's just as well, it'll give us some peace and quiet."

Su Yingxue didn't react much to what she heard.

Even if Su Zhirou is captured by Prince Rui, she can probably be returned unharmed.

But after this incident, his act of saving the princess might be questioned.

After all, what are the chances of such a coincidence?

A murderer and a savior, are they all from the same family?

If Prince Rui doesn't suspect Xie Huaiyun, then so be it; but if he does...

Su Yingxue sighed, her voice somewhat somber: "Alright, this matter is none of our concern, but did Prince Rui say anything about his departure? What was his attitude towards the Heir Apparent?"

Even if Su Zhirou were to die, it wouldn't affect her much.

However, it was Prince Rui's attitude towards Xie Huaiyun that mattered.

If they really start to doubt Xie Huaiyun, then all of Xie Huaiyun's plans over the years will be in vain.

"When the prince left, he didn't seem unhappy; he just took the first wife with him."

Qiu Ye thought about it carefully and realized that Su Yingxue was concerned about this matter.

Ultimately, the lady still likes the young master; otherwise, she wouldn't be so concerned about him.

Su Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good then."

"Madam, you look terrible. Have you caught a cold?" Qiu Ye noticed that Su Yingxue's complexion was not right and immediately called the family doctor.

After examining the lady, the family doctor nodded gently: "Madam has indeed caught a cold. I will prescribe some medicine; Madam can rest assured and take care of herself."

Thinking of the results of her experiment, Su Yingxue hurriedly said, "Doctor, I've already touched the areas you told me to touch."

"It's hot, and it seems very hard..."

At this point, Su Yingxue's face flushed slightly.

She was still very shy about talking about such private matters.

"Oh? Then it shouldn't be innate."

The family doctor stroked his beard, seemingly lost in thought: "Has there been any injury or trauma?"

Su Yingxue frowned, thinking carefully: "I've known him for a long time. He's always been well protected, so he shouldn't have been injured or traumatized..."

The family doctor frowned: "That's strange. According to the lady's description, the young master doesn't seem like someone who would be unable to perform his duties..."

"Perhaps it's due to kidney deficiency? Or frequent fatigue, which could also affect one's interest in this matter."

The family doctor seems to have found the source of the illness.

Su Yingxue chimed in, "Yes, he's always burdened with official duties and often works late into the night, that must be the reason."

"Family doctor, what should we do?"

Having found the root cause, Su Yingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, you can't be completely indifferent to this kind of thing your whole life.

Let bygones be bygones.

She still wants to have a child with him in this lifetime.

After all, I owe him so much.

Leaving him an heir is a way of repaying him.

"Later, I will prescribe a formula to replenish your kidney essence. You can give it to the prince then."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue hesitated slightly: "Doctor, you know that this kind of thing isn't exactly something to be proud of for a man. If I bring this up in the open, I'm afraid..."

These words carried a hint of difficulty, and the family doctor immediately understood Su Yingxue's meaning.

"That's true. If all else fails, I'll prepare some medicinal cuisine. If we treat it with food, it should have a remarkable effect after a period of time."

Su Yingxue was relieved: "Then I'll trouble you."
