When Li returned to her and Cui's residence, she was frightened.
The charcoal fire in the room was also warm, and she was breaking into cold sweats.
Mrs. Cui came back from outside and said, "It's easy for you to leave. I am alone, peeling oranges for Concubine Shu, and beating her back and legs."
"She really treats me as her daughter-in-law."
After waiting for a long time, Li didn't speak.
Mrs. Cui looked at her, "Ah, why do you look so bad?"
Cui was about to touch her forehead when she saw a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.
Cui frowned, "What's wrong with my sister?"
"I want to leave the palace and return home." Ms. Li looked up, with a look of panic on her face.
The corner of Cui's mouth twitched, "Sister, could it be that I have forgotten why the prince asked us to enter the palace to serve the sick?"
"If I don't leave the palace, I'm afraid I will..." She couldn't say such things as hurting the prince, otherwise it would be her fault if she wasn't the one causing the trouble.
"What happened?" Cui asked.
Li told the story about how she delivered medicine for Wen Jin today, but was scolded by the emperor.
Cui was stunned for a moment, but then smiled.
"Sister, are you still laughing?" Ms. Li was about to cry.
"I laugh at my sister for being too impatient. All we need to do is inquire with the eunuchs and maids who are in charge of the palace, and we will know about this matter.
"Sister, please stop taking this step! You are too young after all!" Ms. Cui chuckled.
Mrs. Li glanced at her with displeasure.
"I'm not making fun of my sister... Since you are afraid, please stop going to Father. Leave the rest to me," Cui said.
Ms. Li frowned, feeling increasingly suffocated and uncomfortable, "Oh."
"Sister, don't take it to heart, we can't have any bad feelings!" Ms. Cui saw that her expression was wrong.
Mrs. Li pushed Cui's hand away, "I'm tired, please lie down for a while."
She lay down and rolled over, facing the wall, her back facing outward.
Mrs. Cui frowned at her, curled her lips, got up and returned to her bed.
In the main hall.
After the emperor took the medicine, Wen Yu came to read to the emperor as usual.
The emperor closed his eyes and enjoyed listening to his grandson's soft but clear reading.
In the huge hall, only Wen Yu's childish voice echoed, calm and comfortable.
In the side hall, Concubine Shu held Wen Jin's hand, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law whispered to each other.
"The two of them are quarreling over my place. They are obviously trying to instigate discord between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
"If you don't fight or grab, I'll be worried!"
Concubine Shu whispered, "Some things, if you don't fight for them, others will believe that you don't fight for them!
"When you are born in a whirlpool, how can you stay out of it?"
Wen Jin lowered his head and smiled.
"Are you still laughing?! Are you listening to what Concubine Mother said?" Concubine Shu glared.
Wen Jin nodded sincerely, "Concubine, you are listening! I smiled because I was thinking...it feels so good to have a mother.
"Even if it sounds like I'm scolding you, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, thinking about you."
Concubine Shu was startled when she heard this, and she looked deeply at Wen Jin.
Suddenly, she reached out and held Wen Jin in her arms...
"Your mother passed away early, and Mr. Liu abused you. If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather... Your father is really nothing!
"From now on, grandma will love you! If grandma doesn't have a daughter, she will have one from now on!"
Wen Jin rested his head on Concubine Shu's shoulder.
Concubine Shu's heart softened, and her face showed tenderness and kindness.
"Don't worry, mother and concubine, I have understood it. In the past, the prince never argued, and the prince never really trusted him.
"Now that things have come to this, the opportunity is right in front of us. If we pass it over to others again, it will be unjustifiable!"
Concubine Shu patted Wen Jin's hand and said, "If you need any help, just tell me!"
Wen Jin left the side hall, she really needed someone to help her.
"Send a message to the prince for me, asking him to come to the palace tomorrow..."
Even if Xiao Yuchen is too busy to keep his feet off the ground, he should still have time to go to the palace for a meeting, right?
Early the next morning, Wen Jin stretched and got up.
When she was in the palace, she got up much earlier than before.
Yet she was still the last to get up.
Even Wen Yu got up early and was currently reading to the emperor.
The emperor listened to the book and saved his eyes. He liked his grandson very much.
Wen Jin was washing up when a eunuch suddenly came over.
"princess……"
The eunuch handed her a large banknote.
Wen Jin was stunned and almost swallowed the green salt used to brush his teeth.
"Father-in-law, what do you mean?"
"Princess, don't get me wrong, this is what Concubine Cui gave to the servant!" the eunuch whispered, "she asked the servant about the emperor's daily life and preferences."
"How can this slave dare to say that? Yesterday, I beat a palace maid and drove her out of the palace. Doesn't this slave want her head?"
"Ms. Cui then asked the servant about the princess's preferences. The servant didn't dare to say more and was afraid of getting entangled with her, so he just picked a few things that didn't matter.
"She gave the money to the slave...but the slave had a hot hand!"
The eunuch bowed repeatedly to plead guilty.
Wen Jin thought for a moment, "What did you say?"
The eunuch told him everything.
Wen Jin nodded, "Tell father the exact words."
When the eunuch heard this, he knelt down and said, "Princess, spare your life!"
"I'm here to save you. Don't you know what my father hates most right now?" Wen Jin called him up, "You can't hide it. Try to be frank and be lenient."
The eunuch didn't dare at first, but thinking about the palace maid yesterday, he originally wanted to kill her with a stick.
The eunuch thanked Princess Huai and went to seek leniency for his confession.
"Princess, the prince is here!"
As soon as Wen Jin finished washing, the palace maid brought her good news.
Wen Jin smiled slightly and said, "Invite Concubine Li to the Nuan Pavilion in Xiyuan for me."
The palace maid took the order and left.
Wen Jin arrived at Xinuan Pavilion first.
Xiao Yuchen is already waiting for her here.
He saw her coming quickly and couldn't wait to welcome her out of the Xinuan Pavilion.
When he saw her, his whole temperament was slightly different from before, which was cold and solemn.
In front of her, he was gentle and easy-going.
"As long as I have some free time early in the morning, can I get enough sleep in the palace?" Xiao Yuchen asked her.
Sure enough, I understand her.
Wen Jin nodded, "It's not as good as sleeping at home, but it's still clean."
"That's enough for you husband and wife! There's still a big living person here!" The people in the Nuan Pavilion shouted, slapping the table.
Xiao Yuchen didn't come alone, he also brought a "light bulb".
Hearing the man yelling, he didn't bother to look back, hugged Wen Jin in his arms, lowered his head and asked her, "Why did you ask me to bring him here?
"Father summoned you yesterday. Did he bully you?"
Wen Jin shook his head, "No, I have other plans..."
"Ahem..."
From the corridor behind, the sound of Mrs. Li coughing violently could be heard.
Li didn't want to come, but she didn't dare not to come... Wen Jin's honor in front of the emperor yesterday really shocked her.
But as soon as Mrs. Li came... she saw King Huai hugging Wen Jin as if no one else was around...
This...ahem! Isn't that too much?
Why did you call her? Do you see them loving each other?
"Why are you here?" The people in Nuan Pavilion were even more surprised than Mr. Li.
The person brought by Xiao Yuchen was none other than Hailing King Xiao Jinglou.
When Mrs. Li saw her prince, her eyes immediately turned red, and she shed tears of grievance and fear.
"Your Majesty..."
