Crown Prince's Concubine [Completed]

C42.2 Solved. (2)

Chapter 42.2

Ruo Zhen clenched his fists in anger, the place where he had been stabbed with the golden hairpin was now bleeding profusely, he was truly at a loss. Zhao Heng had actually poisoned him! He had underestimated this seemingly weak and timid woman.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps could be heard outside. Zhao Heng fell silent, listening as the footsteps stopped outside the door for a moment before continuing.

Thinking it was Lian Zhou, Zhao Heng breathed a sigh of relief as she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wrapped his wound, "I've said it before, everything I do is to live well. When the time comes for you to leave the capital, you won't pose a threat to me anymore. I have no need to needlessly put you in a life-threatening situation."

Ruo Zhen stared coldly at her.

Zhao Heng, her eyes and brows lowered in shadow, showing no emotion, said, "Don't look at me like that. You provoked me first. Before acting, you should consider the possible consequences, rather than assuming a snake is harmless when it's actually venomous."

Ruo Zhen glared at her, saying, "Li Wenjian should see the state you're in now."

Zhao Heng's eyes sparkled with a faint light upon hearing the mention of the Crown Prince, and a hint of softness appeared at the corner of her lips.

"He won't see it."

"If he knew about all the evil thoughts in your mind, he would definitely kick you out of the palace immediately."

Zhao Heng bit her lip lightly, her eyes twitching slightly.

The gentleness in her expression softened, and she changed the subject, saying, "By the way, there's one more thing I need your help with."

Ruo Zhen, feeling impatient, said, "Aren't you capable enough? Why do you need my help?"

Ignoring his sarcasm, Zhao Heng asked, "By the way, if I hadn't come to meet you today, were you and Wei Wanyu planning to forcibly take me out of the palace?"

Ruo Zhen snorted coldly, not answering her question.

Zhao Heng slapped the back of his hand hard, causing him to grimace in pain, his teeth gnashing and cold sweat appearing instantly.

"When in a difficult situation, one must learn to bow, Prince Ruo Zhen," Zhao Heng coldly reminded him.

Ruo Zhen gritted his teeth, breathing heavily and grunting in frustration.

"Was it at the grand National Temple? When we praying with the Third Princess?" Zhaoheng asked again.

Ruo Zhen impatiently turned his head back, meeting her gaze of reminder and nodded in response.

Zhao Heng said, "When the time comes, make sure she goes to the grand National Temple."

"She won't go, she never listens to me," Ruo Zhen grumbled, frustrated with these troublesome women. If it weren't for Wei Wanyu causing chaos, would he have fallen victim to Zhaoheng's treachery?

Zhao Heng took out an envelope from her waist and handed it to him, saying, "Find a way to discreetly place this in Wei Wanyu's room. After she reads it, she will go to the grand National Temple."

"What is this?" Ruo Zhen asked.

Zhao Heng said, "You don't need to worry about it, just do as I say."

Ruo Zhen was furious. No one had ever dared to speak to him like this!

But his fate was in her hands, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow his pride.
