"Father, you are wise!" Xiao Yan bowed and spoke in a deep voice.
The Empress closed her eyes in sorrow. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to admit that Xiao Yan was right. Continuing to make a scene would only anger the Emperor further.
"I accept the decree and thank His Majesty for his grace."
Not far away, Xiao Yu and Song Feiwan exchanged a glance. This was Song Feiwan's plan to kill two birds with one stone. Since Madam Xu liked to drug others, it was time for her to taste her own medicine.
As the situation escalated, the Xu family would reap what they sowed, and Xiao Feng would have to pay for his actions.
"Aunt, Father?" A calm and pleasant female voice came from behind.
Everyone turned to see Rong Anning, dressed neatly with clear eyes and a serene expression.
Rong Huan feigned a look of reproach and asked, "Anning, where have you been?"
"Yes," added Consort Rong. "You worried me sick."
Rong Anning innocently replied, "I went to talk to Lu Miaomiao over at the Yuyuan. When I returned to the banquet, you all had disappeared, and I was quite puzzled."
Her gaze shifted inside the hall as she covered her mouth in surprise. "Ah, what happened here?"
Song Feiwan helplessly rubbed her forehead and signaled with her eyes: "You're being a bit overdramatic; tone it down."
Rong Anning felt a bit embarrassed.
The two exchanged glances that did not go unnoticed by Xiao Yu. His handsome face darkened slightly as he turned away in displeasure, blocking Song Feiwan from view.
Rong Anning thought: Why does she feel like her cousin is more distant than before? His mood swings are quite unpredictable.
Her presence here had shattered the rumors surrounding the Xu family. The Empress sat on the ground with a pale face, knowing that they had lost this round completely.
All those involved were dragged away to face their consequences, bringing an end to the farce. The palace banquet concluded hastily as the Emperor felt exhausted. Consort Rong gently comforted him as she helped him leave.
Everyone returned to their respective places.
In the carriage leaving the palace, Rong Huan and Rong Jiayi listened to Rong Anning recount the events, feeling a wave of fear wash over them.
Rong Anning sincerely said, "Father, Elder Brother, this time we owe it all to Princess Song Feiwan. Otherwise, you would have seen nothing but your daughter's corpse."
Rong Huan nodded. "We must properly thank the Princess Consort. And I must remind you, how can you call her by her name? You should refer to her as Sister-in-law."
Rong Anning replied, "Oh."
Rong Jiayi said lightly, "It’s nothing in private."
Rong Huan insisted, "That won’t do. What if one day someone outside lets it slip? Your sister is too naive because we’ve spoiled her; that’s why she got into trouble this time."
A hint of bitterness crossed Rong Jiayi's eyes as he looked down. He was not indulging Rong Anning; he was merely deceiving himself, not wanting to hear her referred to as Princess Consort or Sister-in-law.
Today’s events were largely thanks to her courage and wisdom. The more he thought about how much he owed her, the more he felt an uncontrollable joy and anticipation rising within him. From now on, he would do everything in his power to repay her kindness.
After this incident, the Xu family suffered a blow, and the Crown Prince's faction kept a low profile, tucking their tails between their legs. The Rong family grew even fonder of Song Feiwan and treated her as one of their own.
Song Feiwan and Xiao Yu had already been living in the palace for over ten days. Although Concubine Rong was reluctant, she could no longer break the rules to keep them there.
On a crisp autumn morning, Song Feiwan and Xiao Yu sat in the carriage as they returned to the Prince's residence. Stepping onto the stone-paved ground of the estate, Song Feiwan let out a sigh of relief; she finally felt a sense of security returning to her heart.
It had been many days since she last saw Dongzhi. Her eyes lit up with joy upon seeing him again, turning red with happiness as she hurriedly greeted him and then eagerly leaned closer.
