When the mother and son were having fun, Wei came.

Wei didn't even bring a child, and came alone. Over the days, Wei had cried many times, his eyes were red and swollen. When he opened his mouth, his voice became even hoarse: "My brother and sister, I have something to say to you."

Cheng Jinrong sighed in his heart and nodded slightly.

Zisu led the wet nurse and the children out, and licorice was by Cheng Jinrong's side.

Wei was full of panic, and did not care that Licorice was still on the side. He whispered with red eyes: "My brother and sister, my sister and my father have been locked in the prison, and there is no news. It has been more than a month, but there is still no news. These days, I have a heart every day, frightened and frightened, and can't sleep or eat."

"You have been in the palace all the time. You know the best what happened. I beg you to tell me what happened that day."

Empress Pei blocked the news in the palace. Under the strict order, someone was inevitably brave and spread the news in the palace. However, after Empress Pei strictly investigated and killed the two eunuchs, no one dared to spread the news again.

Wei was in a panic and worried all day long, fearing that he would hear the bad news that his father died in the prison. During these days, he lost weight.

Cheng Jinrong looked at Wei's swollen eyes and said softly: "Second sister-in-law, if you want to know, it's okay for me to tell you."

Then, tell me what happened in the palace one by one.

Wei's face gradually turned pale, and his hands were twisted tightly together.

Concubine Wei Xian is her biological aunt, the fifth prince is her biological cousin, and the fourth prince's concubine Wei Fanghua is her biological sister... The aunt and cousin are all dead, and the sister is in the heavenly prison without knowing life or death. Her father is also locked in the heavenly prison, not knowing life or death...

"... His Highness the Crown Prince almost died that day. The Queen's life was also hanging on the line. Fortunately, the Queen and His Highness were blessed and had escaped the disaster."

Cheng Jinrong looked at Wei and continued to whisper: "The Fifth Prince and Concubine Wei Xian are both dead. The Fourth Prince's Concubine will definitely be implicated, and Zhenyuan Hou Mansion will also be implicated."

"I don't know what, but I can't do anything right now, so as not to anger the Empress and Your Highness."

The tears that Wei suppressed fell down.

With the alternation of imperial power, it is inevitable to be liquidated and cleaned, and people must be killed. It doesn’t matter when things are not related to oneself. Once one is involved in one’s own relatives, who can keep calm?

Wei cried and begged in a low voice: "My brother and sister, you are the most favored by the Empress, and the third brother is the confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you have the chance, can you plead for my father and the Fourth Prince's concubine? No matter what, as long as you can save your life and survive..."

Cheng Jinrong sighed silently: "Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this matter, and I can't agree to you."

People have their own position.

From the perspective of Wei, she naturally hoped that her father and sister would survive. From the standpoint of Cheng Jinrong, she hoped that the queen and the prince would be harsh in their means, to eliminate the roots and eliminate future troubles forever.

Wei cried and staggered away.

...

Cheng Jinrong sat quietly for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and asked Licorice: "Licorice, have I changed too?"

Licorice nodded: "Well, the lady has changed a lot."

Cheng Jinrong looked at the outspoken licorice: "Can't you say something nice and comfort me, the master?"

Licorice looked innocent: "I just go straight and tell the truth. Does the lady want to hear lies?"

Cheng Jinrong: “…”

Licorice continued again: "Actually, it is normal for the lady to change some changes. A few years ago, the lady lived under someone else's house and lived in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. She had to endure everything and gave in to everything."

"Now the lady is the most famous imperial physician in the Great Chu. She has saved the emperor and the empress, and is as close as a sibling to the crown prince. She is also the wife of the prince. No matter which level of identity, she is very famous. The lady has some changes, and it is nothing strange."

"Not to mention the lady, even the servants are different from before."

Hearing this, Cheng Jinrong couldn't help laughing, and his depressed and obscure mood suddenly eased a lot: "Oh? What's the difference? Tell me."

Licorice thought seriously and replied: "I didn't dare to eat too much before, because I was afraid that I could eat it. Now I have married and gave birth to a son. Brother Chen Pi never disliked me for being able to eat it. He gave me monthly routines every month. Now I am confident and eat full every meal."

Cheng Jinrong chuckled.

The sighs in my heart quickly dissipated.

Yes, time changes, no one will remain unchanged.

Empress Pei has changed, the sixth prince has changed, and she is also quietly changing.

In the previous life, her biological mother and younger brother died early. In this life, they all lived well. One would become the throne and become the new emperor and take charge of the country. The other would become the queen mother with great honor.

What else to expect?

...

That night, He Qi also returned to the mansion.

"In the past, I could go home for one night in two days, but now I have to go home for one night after ten days." He Qi whispered apologetically: "Tonight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially ordered me to come back to accompany you."

Cheng Jinrong was mentally prepared and said softly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's injuries have not healed, so it is not a matter of day and night to recuperate. The Empress and Your Highness cannot trust others, but only you. Your Highness's safety is entrusted to you."

"I am recuperating in the mansion. I have someone to take care of food, clothing, daily life and a pair of sons accompany me. You can rest assured to be a worker in the palace and don't have to worry about me."

He Qi sighed, hugged her in his arms, and bowed his head to ask for a kiss.

Cheng Jinrong was injured and could not do anything that consumed his energy. After a kiss, He Qi's breathing was short and disordered, and he did not go any further. He just hugged Cheng Jinrong tightly in his arms.

Cheng Jinrong's cheeks flushed and his heartbeat was much faster than usual.

Since the two got married, they worked together in the palace, but they were together very few. There are very few moments of quiet and intimate snuggling together like this.

After a while, the two of them calmed down.

Cheng Jinrong told the story of Wei's plea today.

He Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice showed a bit of coldness: "Sister-in-law is too presumptuous. It is precisely because we, both the queen and the prince, are trusted and valued by us, we should pay more attention to our attitude when we act."

"If we rashly plead for the Fourth Prince's Concubine and Zhenyuanhou, what would the Empress and Your Highness think? Do you think we want to influence the situation in the palace by relying on our favor and trust?"

"The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Anyone who tries to get involved in the imperial power or wants to control the imperial power will have no good end. Arong, you and I have to be more cautious in the future."

Cheng Jinrong nodded.

So, she had to stay away from the palace.
