章 839: Chapter 839: Entering the Palace

At the residence of the Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince arrived first, followed by the Second Prince, Zhang Jingyang, and the Third Prince, Zhang Jingshi.

The Consort of the Fifth Prince, Yao Xin, had red-rimmed eyes full of bloodshot streaks, clearly having cried for a long time, as she kept vigil by her husband's bedside. Yao Xin, looking at her still closed-eyed husband, felt a myriad of emotions.

Wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, Yao Xin recalled how since the beginning of her marriage, her husband had never shown her a kind face. She had resigned herself to it and became the most inconspicuous consort among the princes' wives, to the point where even the servants and maids in the mansion looked down on her.

When did things start to change? She vividly remembered one night when her husband suddenly came to her, and though he said nothing, changes began to appear, bit by bit. As these changes accumulated, she found herself holding her husband more dearly in her heart.
