Chapter 116 Better sooner rather than later
I just don't know if Jiang Wanrong can still be a model couple with Xiao Jinrui now that Duke Dingguo's Mansion is no longer there to help her.
When Yuan Bingfei was sent to the Ruiwang Mansion by Concubine Yuan, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but be furious. She looked at the fruit plate on the table and overturned it to the ground, her eyes full of disbelief:
"How is that possible! I haven't even married into the Rui Palace yet, so how could Yuan Bingfei enter before me? If I wait until next year for the wedding, wouldn't Yuan Bingfei completely control everything in the Rui Palace? By then, wouldn't I, the Rui Princess, become a joke?"
Ruogu couldn't help but frown when she saw Jiang Wanrong's manic appearance. You know, in the palace, the first thing you have to learn is to not show your emotions on your face, otherwise your life will be in danger. This is the experience she has learned from her many years in the palace. Jiang Wanrong's appearance is undoubtedly a big taboo. Even if she can really enter the palace in the future, it will be nothing more than a passing cloud, gone in a flash. If you want to completely change her, I'm afraid it will be a long and arduous journey!
Suppressing the helplessness in his eyes, Ruogu hurried forward to comfort:
"Don't worry, young lady. She's just a concubine. Even if she's in charge of the trivial matters of Princess Rui's mansion right now, once you marry her, you'll be Princess Rui, and naturally she won't be allowed to act so presumptuously!"
"How can I not be anxious? She is Yuan Bingfei, a member of the Yuan family. If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty granted me the marriage to Prince Rui, I'm afraid the position of Princess Rui would have been hers. Now she has the support of Concubine Yuan, and she actually got married to Prince Rui before me. Now you only tell me not to be anxious, not to be anxious. I'm afraid that by the time I marry into the Rui Palace, Yuan Bingyan will be pregnant. How can I not be anxious?"
Jiang Wanrong looked at Ruogu with a sharp gaze, and the sinisterness in her eyes was obvious, which made Ruogu stunned. She never knew that Jiang Wanrong had such a vicious side. She thought she knew countless people, but she didn't expect that she would be bewitched by Jiang Wanrong now. However, being able to have such a ruthless heart can give her the courage to burn her boats. Isn't this Jiang Wanrong's advantage!
Only in this way can one not be burdened by indecision. At this moment, Ruogu suddenly felt unprecedented relief in her heart, and looked at Jiang Wanrong with rare affirmation.
However, what Jiang Wanrong said was not without reason. If Yuan Bingfei got pregnant first, no matter how hard Jiang Wanrong tried in the future, she would not be able to shake Yuan Bingfei's position. Wouldn't everything she did at that time be making wedding dresses for others?
Thinking this through, Ruogu couldn't help but lower her eyes to think. After a long time, Ruogu's eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of sinister intent. She naturally would not watch this scene happen.
Thinking of the recipe she had stumbled upon while serving in the palace, Ruogu's eyes lit up with a hint of pride. She immediately looked at Jiang Wanrong and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I have a way to prevent her from getting pregnant. Even if she enters Prince Rui's mansion first, it will be all in vain if she doesn't have an heir."
Jiang Wanrong raised her eyebrows, a glint flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Ruogu and asked, "What do you have in mind? Tell me now. Humph, Yuan Bingfei wants to gain status by relying on her son, don't even think about it!"
Knowing Jiang Wanrong's anxiety, Ruogu hurriedly stepped forward, came in front of Jiang Wanrong, and then leaned over and whispered in Jiang Wanrong's ear.
Jiang Wanrong listened attentively and eagerly. Her blood was boiling with excitement. But when she heard Ruogu say that this medicine was only effective for men and that her purpose was to use it on Xiao Jinrui, she looked at Ruogu in surprise. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Drug Prince Rui? If so..."
Thinking of the consequences, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but feel distressed. After all, she was sincere to Xiao Jinrui and naturally didn't want him to get hurt. Besides, she just wanted Yuan Bingfei to be unable to conceive, but she didn't want Xiao Jinrui to be in poor health. Such behavior that harmed others and did not benefit herself was really not the best solution.
Seeing Jiang Wanrong's worry, Ruogu hurried forward to explain, "Don't worry, young lady. This medicine has no side effects. This method will only temporarily make His Royal Highness Prince Rui incapable of power. As long as he stops taking the medicine, His Royal Highness Prince Rui will be able to recover his former vigor. It won't affect him at all!"
"Are you serious? Will it harm the health of His Royal Highness Prince Rui?" Jiang Wanrong looked at Ruogu and emphasized it again and again. She was hesitant about this matter and couldn't accept it for a while.
"Don't worry, young lady. I won't joke about your lifelong affairs!" Ruogu's eyes were full of smiles, and then he looked at Jiang Wanrong and joked.
Knowing that this matter would not harm Xiao Jinrui, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing the teasing in Ruogu's eyes, Jiang Wanrong blushed with shame and quickly picked up the handkerchief to cover her face. "Madam, what are you talking about? You always make fun of Wanrong! Since Madam has such a prescription, then I will do as you say. However, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is of noble status. How can I do anything to Prince Rui?"
"Don't worry, young lady. As long as you can see His Royal Highness Prince Rui, I can leave the rest to you. I will definitely do it without anyone noticing and will not bring any trouble to you!"
"That's good. Nanny, just tell me what you need me to do. Wanrong will certainly cooperate!" Thinking that Yuan Bingfei's plan had failed, Jiang Wanrong smiled proudly. Only she could give birth to Prince Rui's eldest son. No one else could even think about it.
Ruogu nodded and agreed: "As long as the young lady can be with His Royal Highness Prince Rui, this old servant will naturally have a way."
"Okay, this should be done as soon as possible. Tomorrow I will invite Prince Rui to come visit, and then it will be up to Nanny!"
"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely not let you down. Time is running out, so I will prepare it right away!" Ruogu's face was solemn. The recipe that had not been seen for many years had now seen the light of day again. She wondered if it would give her hope again.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Madam!"
Watching Ruogu leave, Jiang Wanrong's eyes flashed with a trace of determination. If she was unwell, she could ask King Rui to come and visit her. King Rui was wise and would definitely not refuse. Then Ruogu would have plenty of opportunities to act. In this way, her goal would be achieved.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but smile, her expression very cheerful.
Jiang Shuyu always had people keeping a close eye on Jiang Wanrong's every move. Naturally, Jiang Wanrong and Ruogu's plan was laid out in front of Jiang Shuyu word for word, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
Knowing that Jiang Wanrong would be unwilling, she did not know that she would respond in this way. For a moment, Jiang Shuyu did not know whether to say that Jiang Wanrong loved Xiao Jinrui deeply or that she hated Xiao Jinrui to the core.
