Chapter 432 (0002 words added)
Murong Xun looked at Xue Ruanruan, his eyes filled with heartache: "I'm sorry you had to suffer like this." Xue Ruanruan shook her head: "For our love, this little hardship is nothing." However, unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes were watching them closely from the shadows, and a far greater conspiracy was quietly brewing… She knew in her heart that her fate with Murong Xun was over. The person in the shadows was a palace maid serving the Empress, who embellished what she had witnessed and told the Empress. The Empress was already wary of Murong Xun's growing power, and now, hearing that he and Xue Ruanruan had rekindled their old flame in the palace, she saw this as a good opportunity to suppress Murong Xun.
Soon, the Empress spread rumors in the palace, saying that Xue Ruanruan was an unlucky person who would bring disaster to the palace. In no time, gossip filled the palace, and the concubines intensified their harassment of Xue Ruanruan.
Upon learning of this, Murong Xun was extremely anxious and tried to quell the rumors, but the Empress blocked him with various excuses. Xue Ruanruan was also left isolated and helpless. She knew that it was all the Empress's conspiracy, but she was powerless to resist.
Just when Xue Ruanruan felt despair, Murong Xun's legal wife secretly assisted her, offering advice and strategies. They decided to join forces to expose the Empress's conspiracy and clear their names. Thus, a thrilling palace intrigue quietly unfolded within the deep palace. Whether Xue Ruanruan could win a glimmer of hope for her love and future in this struggle remained to be seen. She curtsied, resolutely turned, and strode away. Murong Xun stood there, watching her retreating figure, unable to recover for a long time.
The gentle woman's eyes were filled with gratitude as she said, "Sister, you not only saved our lives but also Brother Xun's. We will forever remember this great kindness." Murong Xun also said weakly, "Thank you for your help, young lady. Is there anything else you need? Please don't hesitate to ask." Xue Ruanruan smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It was nothing. I only hope everyone will be safe and sound in the future." After this incident, their relationship with Xue Ruanruan grew even closer, but a larger conspiracy might be quietly approaching... ..."The hot-tempered woman also panicked and cried out, "What should we do?" Xue Ruanruan remembered that she had antidotes in her spatial storage. She excused herself to gather herbs nearby and then went back into her storage. After taking out the herbs, she quickly returned to the group and fed them to Murong Xun. Soon after, Murong Xun slowly opened his eyes, and his complexion improved considerably. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a guard rushed in to report: "Miss, we've just learned that the assassins were acting on the orders of a certain concubine in the palace." Upon hearing this, the hot-tempered woman stamped her foot angrily and exclaimed, "How dare they! They actually attacked us!" The gentle woman frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This matter cannot be made public. Let's return to the manor and discuss it further." Then she looked at Xue Ruanruan, "Sister, if you don't mind, could you come back to the manor with us? It would be good for us to properly thank you." Xue Ruanruan initially wanted to decline, but considering the potential complexity of the conspiracy behind it, and the possibility of learning more by going along, she nodded in agreement. Thus, the group boarded the carriage and headed towards the mansion. What undercurrents awaited them within the mansion? After a moment's hesitation, she decided to help. She stepped forward and said, "I might have a way to cure the poison." The others were skeptical, but had no other choice at the moment. Xue Ruanruan entered her spatial dimension and quickly retrieved herbs. She skillfully ground the herbs into a juice and fed it to Murong Xun. After a while, Murong Xun's complexion gradually regained some color, and his breathing became much more stable. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The gentle woman looked gratefully at Xue Ruanruan, holding her hand, and said, "Sister, you are truly a divine physician descended to earth!" "Sister, you flatter me; I only have a little medical knowledge," Xue Ruanruan said modestly. At this moment, the hot-tempered woman suddenly became alert. "We're still quite a distance from the manor. We can't guarantee that those assassins won't come back. We have to be careful." Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up.
