The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2678: Another Incident (Part 1)

After the excitement of the first day, by the time the fifteenth of the first month arrived, everyone lost interest. The novelty of those snacks was fleeting, unlike the pastries and drinks made by Yang Ruxin, which tasted far better.

So even knowing that the Emperor would join the festivities at the city tower, no one felt inclined to go out; after all, they had seen the Emperor before.

Yang Ruxin was even less interested in squeezing into a crowd.

On the sixteenth of the first month, Yang Ruxin was supposed to start her journey back, but Gu Qingheng couldn’t bear to let her go. He persuaded her to stay a little longer, thinking that since the Crown Prince of Jin Country would be departing with the princess on the eighteenth, he could then return the command of the Xiudao Guard and request leave from the Emperor to go back with her.

Yang Ruxin thought that was a good idea. Besides, she was reluctant to leave her man behind.

But something happened on the sixteenth of the first month.

To be precise, the incident occurred on the night of the fifteenth, but Yang Ruxin only heard about it on the sixteenth.

It was that Princess Ningzi had spent the night with Prince Han and was caught by Consort Peng Jing, causing Queen Yunxi to faint from the shock.

The Imperial Physicians were at a loss to treat Yunxiong’s illness, and in the end, had to summon Yang Ruxin to the palace.

"Isn’t this too outrageous?" Yang Ruxin looked at Gu Qingheng, who was ordered by the Emperor to fetch her, in disbelief. "Didn’t Princess Ningzi like King Yun?"

Gu Qingheng shook his head, "It’s indeed hard to believe, but it’s already a fact." He sighed, "However, I have a peculiar feeling about it."

"I also find it strange," Yang Ruxin nodded. "How much do you know?"

"I don’t know much; the information has been sealed. All I know is that the two of them were found together in a secluded palace in the palace grounds."

Yang Ruxin touched her chin with her hand, "Who do you think set up whom?"

Gu Qingheng laughed, "Shouldn’t the question be who set them both up instead?"

"Anything is possible," Yang Ruxin nodded seriously, "By the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you earlier." Then she recounted the unusual occurrence she overheard in the Imperial Garden’s lavatory, "That Prince Han, there’s something suspicious about him."

"Secret meetings with a palace maid?" Gu Qingheng furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yes." Yang Ruxin nodded, "I’m very curious who it was."

"Though I have the Emperor’s trust now, it isn’t easy to plant informants in the palace," Gu Qingheng sighed, "This matter will take time, although I can’t do it, Prince Ba is in a position to help."

"You make the arrangements," Yang Ruxin chuckled, "If Prince Han is indeed up to something, then maybe this incident is inevitable."

Gu Qingheng drew a sharp breath, "You mean, he..."

"After all, that position is too tempting. Not everyone has the carefree nature of Prince Ba, nor the forthright ambition of King Yun."

"Wife, what you say is making more sense," Gu Qingheng suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Of course, I’m no ordinary person; you’d better hold on tight," Yang Ruxin poked his chest, "Otherwise..."

"There’s no ’otherwise’," Gu Qingheng grasped Yang Ruxin’s hand, lowered his head, and pecked her lips, "Anyone with designs will have their legs broken."
