After realizing Xie Rushuang's intention, Imperial Noble Concubine Jin's smile froze on her face.
All the good qualities of Xie Rushuang, such as her knowledge, manners, and elegance, were now turned to dust in her heart.
“Xie Rushuang, although we are aunt and niece, I am the Imperial Consort and you are just a servant. Since the Emperor has already granted you a marriage, you should stay here and take good care of the Third Prince.” Imperial Concubine Jin spoke coldly, and when she looked at Xie Rushuang, there was some resentment in her eyes.
Even if her son really became disabled, it was not something that a mere Xie Rushuang could despise.
"Aunt, the third prince didn't receive the imperial edict. The third prince..." Hearing that Imperial Concubine Jin had suddenly made a decision, Xie Rushuang was extremely anxious. If she really served Murong Kai here, then everything between them would be unclear.
"What? Are you aggrieved when I ask you to take care of the Third Prince? No matter what happens to Akai in the future, the reason I can marry him is because I am a girl from the Xie family, my son, and you have no right to be picky." Imperial Noble Concubine Jin couldn't help herself after all and spoke out what was in her heart.
After Imperial Concubine Jin finished speaking, Xie Rushuang's face turned pale. She wanted to explain, but...
"You'd better pray that the Third Prince is fine. If anything happens to the Third Prince, you, as Akai's fiancée, will be buried with him."
Imperial Noble Concubine Jin stood up and left without forgetting to threaten her. Xie Rushuang's face turned pale, and she lowered her head, trying hard to hide the tears that were about to overflow.
The people in the bedroom were not fools. What Imperial Concubine Jin could see, Murong Zheng and the Queen could naturally see clearly.
After Imperial Concubine Jin left in anger, Murong Zheng chased after her. The Queen looked at Miss Xie coldly, who was full of resentment, and said softly, "Akai, I, as your mother, will naturally take care of you here. You can leave first."
If the wife chosen by Imperial Concubine Jin for Akai was really a good one, then she might really let the two children have a try. However, just the broken leg incident alone can show the short-sightedness of this girl. How can such a woman be worthy of being called the daughter-in-law of the royal family, let alone Akai who is excellent in all aspects.
Therefore, avoiding the melon field and plum field is the best way.
"But the Imperial Concubine asked me to take care of the Third Prince. Don't worry, Queen, no matter how the Third Prince's health is, I will take good care of him."
Because of Imperial Noble Consort Jin's anger, although Xie Rushuang wanted to leave immediately, she didn't dare to. She was really afraid that her aunt would force her to marry Murong Kai in a fit of rage.
She really didn't want to marry Murong Kai now, even though he was a prince of a country, but a cripple would definitely make her the source of ridicule among her sisters.
"Don't worry, you will never become the third prince's principal wife in this life." The queen spoke softly, word by word. Unlike Noble Concubine Jin's anger and shame, her tone was like a blunt knife, cutting Xie Rushuang's heart again and again.
"I don't understand what you said, Queen. I..."
"You go down first." The queen felt it was a waste to say even one more word to a woman who was not presentable.
The Queen and Imperial Noble Consort Jin reached a rare consensus on how to treat Xie Rushuang.
What the queen didn't expect was that even Murong Zheng took the same stance as them in dealing with Xie Rushuang.
At this time, outside Murong Kai's palace, Murong Zheng had already clearly told Imperial Noble Consort Jin that the matter of granting Akai marriage had come to an end.
