She refused to marry.

Su Wanwan returned to her tent, where there was another person at the door: Brother Jian.

"Brother Jian, what are you doing here?" Su Wanwan asked curiously, lifting the curtain.

Aoyama scratched his head, he couldn't very well say that he was spying on her, so he stammered, "Um, Your... Your... Your Majesty invites you in."

"Oh," Su Wanwan replied, "Let's go then."

At this moment, Lord Fengchen was feigning weakness in his tent, coughing occasionally.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. What brings you here, young lady?" Su Wanwan entered the tent.

Xiao Xuanjing looked at Qingshan with suspicion.

Qingshan scratched his head. "Your Majesty, the person has been brought here. I shall take my leave."

Xiao Xuanjing sat down and pondered for a moment, "I don't like being served by outsiders. I'm at ease letting Miss Su serve me."

Su Wanwan resigned herself to her fate.

While serving in Fengchenjun's tent, people outside would often want to see Fengchenjun.

The third princess caused the most trouble.

When she came in, she saw three layers of armor outside the tent and thought they were blocking assassins. Now she realized that they were blocking the Third Princess.

Feng Chenjun seems to be getting weaker lately, he's always coughing and drinking water constantly.

Drinking water is one thing, but why don't you see him going to relieve himself?

Is he really that good at putting on airs?

So I served tea even more frequently, to see how long he could keep it up.

Xiao Xuanjing casually drank the tea that was handed to him.

The moment their fingers touched, Su Wanwan realized that the emperor was a little hot.

It was because of the high fever that he was thirsty.

Feng Chenjun noticed her gaze and, thinking she was hungry, summoned a table of dinner.

"Eat before you go back, and come earlier tomorrow," Xiao Xuanjing coughed softly.

Su Wanwan picked up her chopsticks and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, have you not rested well this month?"

"It's just a chill, nothing serious," Xiao Xuanjing continued coughing.

"Your Majesty, drink less water and tea, lest you have trouble sleeping at night and your recovery will be hindered." Su Wanwan put down her chopsticks, walked to the side, poured tea, and added charcoal to boil water.

Only after doing all this did I sit back down.

"Has the Crown Prince been looking for you lately?" Xiao Xuanjing asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I didn't see him," Su Wanwan said softly.

"Not bad," Xiao Xuanjing said after eating a piece of meat.

Su Wanwan didn't know if he meant the dishes were good or that she cooked them well.

I didn't dare to say anything out of line. This madman's personality had been normal for a while now, and I couldn't let him go crazy again.

"Stay in my tent for the next few days and don't go anywhere." Xiao Xuanjing elegantly took a bite of venison.

Su Wanwan frowned. "Why?"

"Do as I say if you don't want to die." Xiao Xuanjing put down his chopsticks and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

He got up and walked to the copper basin beside him, slowly washing his hands and face.

"Oh," Su Wanwan said, bowing her head.

He was protecting himself, and although he didn't know why, it was better to obey.

Looking at the table full of dishes, he only ate two pieces of meat. How could his wound heal quickly?

I wanted to ask a few words of concern, but then I realized I shouldn't overstep the bounds, so I continued eating with my head down.

For the next two days, Su Wanwan was very obedient. Except for going back to her tent to sleep, she spent the rest of her time in Feng Chenjun's tent.

This led to those who admired Feng Chenjun hating him to the core.

It got to the point where even her parents asked her if she wanted to enter the Princess's residence.

On the fourth day, the hunt came to an end.

At midday, the entire mountain was placed under martial law.

Saying they were going to investigate the thief, Lord Fengchen also went out.

Su Wanwan waited for a long time but no one returned, and she began to worry that this matter might be related to Ying Zheng.

In the original story, Ying Zheng secretly entered the palace while hunting and was injured by the Crown Prince's men.

Almost lost his life.

The sound of drums could be heard in the distance; it was the call to summon the court officials.

Su Wanwan stepped out of the tent and asked the people next to her, "The palace was burgled last night."

The empress's beating of the drum was likely a plea for the crown prince to return and uphold justice.

Before long, the crown prince came out of the mountain and hurriedly entered the camp.

Yuan Zijing also rushed over, "Miss Su, the young master has been arrested."

"How were you arrested?"

"Last night, the Crown Prince secretly entered the palace to see His Majesty, but was injured by the Crown Prince's men. The palace sent word to thoroughly investigate anyone with a knife wound on their waist. The Crown Prince's wound was discovered, and he was taken inside, never to emerge again."

"That means we've been discovered."

Su Wanwan and Yuan Zijin waited anxiously outside.

As people came and went, a corner was lifted, and Su Wanwan saw that Ying Zheng had already been tied up. "No, if we wait any longer, the Crown Prince will be guilty of breaking into the palace at night."

Su Wanwan whispered a few words in Yuan Zijin's ear.

He then walked outside the tent and said to the eunuch guarding the gate, "I have evidence, please inform him."

After a while.

The palace maid led her into the tent.

Su Wanwan followed the palace servants into the tent.

The moment I stepped inside, I was bombarded with all sorts of stares.

The tent was much larger than she had imagined, with a high ceiling and tallow candles burning in the four corners, illuminating the interior as bright as day.

The Crown Prince sat in the main seat, with the Empress beside him. She wore a crimson phoenix robe and a red-gold phoenix crown, her face dignified, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

Feng Chenjun sat to the side, his eyes slightly darkened.

Ying Zheng stood in the center of the tent, his face calm. His waist was wrapped in gauze, and blood was seeping out, staining his moon-white robes red.

"This humble woman, Su Wanwan, greets His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Empress."

The Empress did not urge her to rise, but instead slowly took a sip of her tea. "Miss Su, what evidence do you have?"

"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress is arresting criminals?" Su Wanwan asked, raising her eyes.

"Yes, the criminal who broke into the palace at night, what's wrong? Do you have any new evidence?" the Empress asked.

Su Wanwan kowtowed, "Last night I was with the young master. Even if the young master had a knife wound, it could not possibly be him."

Xiao Xuanjing's breathing quickened, and he impatiently twirled the ring in his hand.

Ying Zheng nervously walked to her side. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, so you're going to sacrifice your own reputation to protect the Crown Prince?" the Queen said.

Su Wanwan placed her hands on her waist. "Your Majesty the Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the young master has fallen in love with me at first sight, but I am devoted to the Emperor and will not sacrifice my reputation to protect the young master."

After I made a fool of myself before, he has ignored me ever since. I have been pestering him every day these past few days, but I still cannot win his heart.

Last night, I was feeling distressed, so I went to see the Crown Prince. He took pity on me and comforted me until midnight. Therefore, the Crown Prince could not possibly be the one who broke into the palace.

"You're spouting nonsense! What evidence do you have? Who saw it?" the crown prince slammed his fist on the table.

Su Wanwan took out Ying Zheng's jade pendant from her bosom. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is a token of love given to me by the Crown Prince. I dare not fabricate such a story. Moreover, it is common knowledge that I have been pestering His Majesty these past few days... I beg Your Majesty and Your Highness to investigate... severely punish the culprit, and clear the Crown Prince's name..."

"Lord Fengchen, is what she said true?" The Crown Prince turned to look at Xiao Xuanjing.
