The Fourth Prince in bed was awakened by the noise.
He opened his eyes and saw Consort Rong, then pouted, "Mother—"
Consort Rong hurried to soothe him, "It's okay, it's okay. Is Yong Er feeling unwell? Quickly tell Mother."
The Fourth Prince's nosebleed had already been wiped clean by the palace maids. He suddenly sat up, "I want to beat that dead girl!"
Consort Rong's face fell, "Which maid hit you?"
"Mother, call someone to bring her over, press her to the ground and let you hit her!"
The Fourth Prince shouted, "It's that Ruru!"
Consort Rong squinted her eyes, "The old daughter of the Duke?"
Consort Rong had long been aware of the Duke's daughter accompanying the Third Princess as a study companion, naturally understanding the Empress's intentions.
She had always wanted to win over the Duke, but despite several hints from the Rong Family, the Duke simply ignored them.
