Wen Jin chewed these words over and over again, thinking to himself secretly.
Before the group returned to the palace, they went to change clothes.
Wen Jin also had to go to meet the saint and offer the phoenix seal, so it was not easy to go there wearing blood-stained clothes.
Just as a group of people were changing their clothes.
A young eunuch quietly entered the main hall of Tai Chi Palace.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Huai has obtained the Phoenix Seal." The young eunuch knelt down and said.
The emperor looked up from his book and was silent for a moment.
He waved his hand and told everyone in the hall to leave.
There was silence in the palace.
"Tell me, how did she obtain the Phoenix Seal?"
"Princess Huai and her entourage returned covered in blood..."
The emperor's eyes widened, "What did you say? How dare she kill the queen?"
"That's not true. Please calm down, Your Majesty..." the eunuch said Xunxun.
…
After Wen Jin changed his clothes, he came outside the Qinzheng Hall of Taiji Palace.
When the palace people were reporting, she caught a glimpse of Yu'er inside.
At this time on weekdays, Yu'er is usually still writing big characters, and the emperor is reading by himself.
Today, the emperor asked Yu'er to read to him so early?
"Princess Chuanhuai——"
The eunuch sang.
Wen Jin bowed and entered the palace, "I am lucky that my wife has fulfilled her mission and found the Phoenix Seal."
She presented the box containing the phoenix seal.
Fang Xu forwarded the box to the emperor.
The emperor opened the box and stared carefully at the phoenix seal delicately carved from Hetian white jade.
"This phoenix seal, the queen was imprisoned. She didn't even have time to destroy the secret letter, but she wanted to take the phoenix seal away... She was actually willing to hand it over to you?"
"The Empress refused at first... My daughter-in-law used some extraordinary methods." Wen Jin said in a low voice.
As she spoke, she quietly turned her face and glanced at her son... Some words were not suitable to be said in front of the child.
Yu'er winked at her, meaning that he didn't want to leave or avoid it.
Wen Jin also winked at him, a little fiercely.
Yu'er pursed her lips, but still got up obediently...
He didn't wait for him to retreat.
The emperor said with unclear meaning, "Extraordinary measures...including killing people?"
Wen Jin's expression tightened, "My wife did not kill anyone, she just used acupuncture supplemented by Mongolian sweat medicine..."
"Report—report to the emperor! The deposed queen committed suicide in prison!"
The palace official suddenly reported, interrupting Wen Jin's words.
Wen Jin was stunned when he heard this.
The queen committed suicide?
When she was in prison, although the queen went crazy and collapsed, she did not look forward to death.
She just left and the Queen gave up the struggle?
"Wen Jin?!" The emperor's expression was stern, but he didn't seem surprised by the news of his death.
Wen Jin frowned and thought for a moment...
She didn't say a word of defense, and knelt on the ground softly.
"What if the queen commits suicide because of my daughter-in-law's questioning of Feng Yin's whereabouts..."
"My wife is willing to be punished by my father." Wen Jin lowered her eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.
The palace was quiet.
The emperor looked at Wen Jin without saying a word for a long time.
Wen Yu stood aside, looking at Grandpa Huang in confusion, and then at his mother...
He intuitively felt that there seemed to be invisible pressure surging in the silent atmosphere, but he couldn't understand it.
"Get up, she can't think about it herself, and she can't blame you." The emperor said slowly, "Since you have recovered the Phoenix Seal, you can leave the palace today."
Wen Jin felt happy, it was good news after all.
She looked at Yu'er.
Yu'er's face was full of smiles.
"You can go back by yourself, and Yu'er will stay with the emperor's grandfather for a few more days, etc..."
The emperor hesitated for a moment, "We will go back after the Lantern Festival."
Wen Jin:......
The queen committed suicide, she thought, because the emperor did not want the queen to live.
But after all, they were a husband and wife, and after so many years of friendship, he didn't want to be this evil person... So after he forced himself to ask about Feng Yin's whereabouts, he gave her death and let her take the blame.
It's just taking the blame, Wen Jin doesn't care.
Who knew that not only would he take the blame, but he would also continue to keep Yu'er in the palace.
Yu'er's face fell for a moment.
Before Wen Jin could speak, he grinned again, "Auntie, go back, Yu'er will accompany Grandpa Huang!
"Grandpa Huang has a hard time studying every day. Yu'er can read to Grandpa Huang, so you don't have to strain your eyes! Yu'er can also read!
"Grandpa Huang, there are so many books here!"
Although he is a kid, he doesn't seem to be "detained", but rather like he can't wait to stay.
Wen Jin felt warm and happy in her heart... The child's positive and optimistic attitude was better than that of the adults.
"Don't worry, Mom, Yu'er won't be naughty! Yu'er can take care of her own daily life, and she can also take care of and protect Grandpa Huang!"
Wen Yu straightened his back and patted his young chest.
The emperor's face, filled with vicissitudes of life and exhaustion, was suddenly filled with warmth.
He looked at Yu'er with burning eyes...
"Yu'er, come to Grandpa Huang."
The emperor waved to Yu'er.
Yu'er ran forward.
"Who taught you to say this?"
Wen Jin's heart tightened, who taught him this?
Yu'er tilted her little head and shook her head in confusion, "No one taught Yu'er to speak? Yu'er is not a child, so do I need to be taught how to speak? I can speak myself!"
"Hahaha," the emperor laughed and bent down to hold Yu'er on his lap, "Did you hear that? It's Yu'er who wants to stay with the emperor's grandfather!"
"After the Lantern Festival, I will go back to accompany my father and mother!" Yu'er winked at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin felt reluctant to give up...but it was hard to say anything else.
"Aniang can send Miaomiao and Brother Huzi over...forget it, I'll let Aniang take care of them for me!"
Wen Yu waved goodbye to his mother.
From the time he was born to the age of five, Xu Shi never lacked companionship or maternal love.
Therefore, he has a high sense of security, no separation anxiety, and is not afraid of short separations.
The emperor allowed him to send Wen Jin out of the palace.
He walked with his short legs and looked at the ants on the ground and the birds in the sky...as if he was heartless. When Wen Jin got on the sedan chair leaving the palace, he waved with a smile and held the hand of the eunuch Fang Xu. He skipped back without even looking back.
Fang Xu glanced at Wen Yu from time to time, but couldn't help it and asked, "Don't you miss your mother, little prince? I have seen that all children like to be with grandma."
Wen Yu was tired from walking and reached out for him to hug.
Fang Xu easily picked up Wen Yu and strode back.
Only now did Wen Yu look back over his shoulder, watching from a distance as Wen Jin rode the small sedan chair farther and farther away, finally out of sight.
"Actually... I also thought about it. But if I can't let go of my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law will definitely be even more reluctant to let go of me.
"As long as I'm happy, grandma doesn't have to worry about me!"
Fang Xu paused slightly.
He looked at the little prince in his arms, and his expression became gentler.
…
The sedan stopped and Wen Jin got out of the sedan.
Xiao Yuchen strode forward to greet her, and kept looking behind her.
"Did Yu'er fall asleep in the sedan? I'll pick him up." Xiao Yuchen said with a smile.
Wen Jin reached out and grabbed his arm, "No... I'm the only one who's back."
She hesitated to speak.
Xiao Yuchen's excited eyes also condensed slightly, looking a little sad.
"Go back home first, and then we'll talk about it..."
The two got into the carriage.
Xiao Yuchen still has many things on his hands... This is probably the busiest year he has ever lived.
In the past, even when fighting outside, I could take a breather during the Chinese New Year. This year is extraordinarily different.
He put aside all his affairs and made a special trip to pick up his wife and children from the palace... Unexpectedly, he picked up one and left the other behind.
"How did the Queen commit suicide?"
