The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Chapter 186 The Only Crown Princess

Hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan couldn't help but be slightly startled, with a look of surprise on his face: "Grandpa, didn't my uncle and the others mention this to you?

Yang Ruize nodded to indicate that he didn't know.

Zhao Haoxuan quickly explained: "She is Wang Xinyao from Xiejia Village, and now she is my wife!"

After saying this, Zhao Haoxuan's eyes flickered involuntarily for a moment.

Before he left Nanhu County, he asked his uncle to contact his grandfather. This time he had to return to the capital, and he thought his grandfather already knew about Xinyao.

Judging from the current situation, it is most likely that the two uncles were afraid of the authority of my grandfather, so they did not dare to report the matter truthfully.

At this moment, Yang Ruize felt like he was struck by lightning, and his whole body froze in place.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he almost screamed out loud.

However, the trials and tribulations he had gone through over the years helped him come to his senses quickly, and he forcibly suppressed his inner surprise and shock.

He frowned tightly and stared at Zhao Haoxuan with suspicion.

He said in a serious tone, "As far as I know, Wang Xinyao is a widow, and her new husband is a hunter, and he's also a live-in son-in-law. How did she suddenly become your wife? Could it be...Xuan'er, are you the live-in son-in-law?"

At the end of his speech, Yang Ruize's voice unconsciously rose an octave, and his face was full of disbelief.

Fortunately, although there was no rain tonight, the wind was quite strong and the increased volume did not disturb the people in other rooms.

Zhao Haoxuan nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Grandpa, Xinyao came up with this expedient plan to help me conceal my true identity."

Just when Yang Ruize heard this and his heart just dropped, he heard Zhao Haoxuan continue, "Grandpa, in my heart, she is the only wife I have chosen for this life, and in the future, she will also be my Crown Princess."

Hearing this, Yang Ruize couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of astonishment, and exclaimed: "Oh my, you are simply crazy! Even if she becomes a concubine, I'm afraid it will be impossible for her to pass the test of His Majesty!"

Before he finished speaking, he paced back and forth anxiously, his steps seeming a little messy.

At the same time, he kept muttering to himself, "This has really caused a big mess. If this matter gets out accidentally, it will definitely cause great damage to the reputation of the royal family!"

After a brief pause, Yang Ruize turned around again and said, "Xuan'er, you must not take this matter too seriously."

He then continued to persuade her earnestly, "But don't worry. If I only promise Wang Xinyao the title of concubine, then I, your grandfather, will rack my brains and find ways to secure this opportunity for you. However, as for the Crown Princess, you must never mention it again. It's absolutely impossible to achieve!"

Despite Yang Ruize's persuasion, Zhao Haoxuan did not waver in his determination at all.

He responded firmly, "Grandpa, I will never change my mind about Xinyao. She is my only Crown Princess. No one else can replace her place in my heart!"

Then, Zhao Haoxuan seemed to realize that his attitude just now was a bit tough, so his tone softened slightly.

She continued to comfort Yang Ruize, "Grandpa, please relax. Xinyao and I will work tirelessly to prove our sincere and deep feelings to the emperor with our actual actions until he completely accepts us."

Zhao Haoxuan walked up to Yang Ruize and began to massage his shoulders. "Grandpa, let's not talk about these troubles for now. I'd like you to go to the palace and tell Eunuch Xu that I've arrived in the capital and I'm very eager to see her as soon as possible."

"Where is she?" Yang Ruize asked anxiously, frowning.

Zhao Haoxuan put down his hand on Yang Ruize's shoulder and walked over to him. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "If nothing unexpected happens, she should be in the palace!"

Hearing this answer, Yang Ruize's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief, "What? In the palace? You're really too bold! Regardless of what the consequences would be if His Majesty learned of what happened between you, even if Prince Yu knew about this, given his temper, he would definitely not let her off easily."

Zhao Haoxuan lowered his voice and explained, "Grandpa, we really have no choice. Father is ill, but the Imperial Hospital has been unable to find the cause. We have no choice but to let Xinyao come to the palace to treat him."

"What? The Emperor is not feeling well?" Yang Ruize was once again very surprised. "Could it be that Wang Xinyao's medical skills are even better than those experienced imperial physicians?"

Zhao Haoxuan nodded quickly and replied affirmatively: "Grandpa, Xinyao's medical skills are indeed superb. This time we are also holding a try mentality, hoping that she can find the root cause of father's illness and cure him."

Speaking of this, Zhao Haoxuan's face showed worry.

He continued anxiously, "But I'm really worried about her safety in the palace. Grandpa, please go to the palace early tomorrow morning and tell Eunuch Xu that I want to see her right away!"

Yang Ruize remained silent, thinking about this matter over and over again in his mind.

After a long while, he finally nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed.

When Zhao Haoxuan saw Yang Ruize nod in agreement, he was immediately overjoyed and almost jumped up with excitement.

But he quickly calmed down and solemnly warned, "Grandfather, you must keep your mouth shut about Father's illness. You must not reveal a single word to anyone! Otherwise, if the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Of course!" Yang Ruize responded firmly, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.

Then, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "Xuan'er, regarding the matter between you and Wang Xinyao, you must never have such thoughts again. You must know that the statuses of the two of you are really too different and don't match!"

Hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan took out two pills emitting faint light from his arms and handed them to Yang Ruize.

He slowly said, "Grandpa, look, these are the Marrow Cleansing Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills Xinyao personally refined! Xinyao is an exceptional alchemist, so it's not that she's out of her league with me, but rather that I'm out of her league with her."

"What? Alchemist!" Yang Ruize couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

Obviously, this news was beyond his expectations. For a moment, he was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.
