Chunhua watched in horror, fearing that Cheng Ning would make Wei Yanzhou angry and he would suffer again later.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor did not look angry. Instead, he ordered Chunhua: "Get some ointment and bring her dinner."
After the things were brought in, Wei Yanzhou forcefully dragged Cheng Ning up and half held her in his arms to look at her injuries.
Cheng Ning struggled: "If Your Majesty is too free, just read the memorial. The Queen has just been cured of her demons and needs someone to watch her. Don't waste time on me!"
She really couldn't understand Wei Yanzhou's temperament that changed three times a day, and she didn't want to deal with it. She was very tired.
"Aren't you going to see your brother?" Wei Yanzhou pressed her down and applied the medicine: "I'll take you there after you drink the porridge."
Cheng Ning's struggle suddenly stopped. She didn't quite believe it: "Really?"
This matter was dragged on and on. She originally thought that Wei Yanzhou was just perfunctory and wanted to regret it.
Now I am willing again.
Only if the Cheng family is given a favor will they be willing to obey.
So what are you disappointed about this afternoon?
Wei Yanzhou pursed his lips and let her go: "I will only say this once."
Without him having to say anything, Cheng Ning got out of bed, put on her shoes, drank the bowl of porridge quickly, and then looked at Wei Yanzhou longingly.
At this time, Cheng Ning showed no attack at all, but still had a bit of longing and expectation.
It had been a long time since she had seen her brother and sister-in-law. After many life and death experiences, she really thought she would never see them again in this life.
Wei Yanzhou took her out.
The prison was silent at night. When they heard that Wei Yanzhou was coming, the prison guard rushed over to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi, why did you alert your Majesty to come here in the middle of the night?"
"Bring Cheng Yi and Chen Yili out and prepare pen and paper."
You want to meet the Cheng family for no reason?
But the prison chief didn't dare to say anything and quickly gave the order.
Cheng Ning has been to the prison many times. She has also visited officials who were imprisoned before, and she has also been in prison herself.
Now I come here to persuade my brother and sister-in-law to make peace with each other.
As the steps came closer, each step stepped on the apex of his heart, wringing out pain.
The male and female family members were detained in two places. The Cheng family was imprisoned for more than two months. Chen Yili and Cheng Yi never met.
His hands and feet were shackled, and as he walked step by step, there was a clanging sound on the passage.
Chen Yili saw Cheng Yi first.
She is a woman, and she has not been treated too harshly even in prison. In addition, after she was diagnosed as pregnant, her food suddenly became better.
So it doesn’t look like you are suffering.
But Cheng Yi is different. He is Cheng Fengxu's only son. If the Cheng family rebels, he will bear the title of guilty minister.
In order to make him confess his crime, he was tortured a lot.
Cheng Yi is similar to Cheng Ning in that he is tall and he was once one of the top noble sons in Yanjing City.
It's just that he was born weak, so he didn't take over his father's mantle, but followed Wen.
At this time, his entire human form was bone-crunched, his clothes were in tatters, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken.
"Husband!"
Chen Yili rushed over and burst into tears: "Why, how did I beat you like this!"
"A Li," seeing that she was fine, Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately you are fine."
The young couple had a deep love for each other. After being separated for more than two months, they were frightened and the road ahead was still unclear.
This brief hug was like providing help in a timely manner. Knowing that the other person was safe made me feel relieved.
Chen Yili held up his sleeves and kept wiping the dirt on Cheng Yi's face: "I thought I would never see you again."
After saying that, she took Cheng Yi's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, whispering in his ear: "We have a child."
Although it happened by chance and it couldn't be widely publicized, this was their child.
Cheng Yi couldn't believe it. He leaned against Chen Yili's flat belly and murmured: "Child?"
His children.
Why did it come at this time, when the Cheng family was about to lose its security.
The joy of becoming a father was poured down by cold water before it could surge up.
"No, you can't stay here." Cheng Yi said in a panic: "You have to get out."
"I won't go out," Chen Yili cried: "I will go wherever you go. Even if the Cheng family is gone, we will die together!"
"Why rush to die?"
A mocking voice came.
Cheng Yi looked away and froze in place.
Wei Yanzhou was dressed in imperial robes, half-armed around Cheng Ning's waist, and stood in front of him.
The two of them looked intimate, but Cheng Ning's face was pale.
"Aning!"
Chen Yili realized why they were brought to this place, but why was Cheng Ning standing next to Wei Yanzhou?
Wei Yanzhou came to power and specifically targeted the Cheng family. If it weren't for him, how could they have fallen to this point.
But in the past few months, Wei Yanzhou had never shown up, only on the night when they were arrested.
At that time, he held the imperial edict and declared himself the new emperor.
Cheng Yi once questioned him: "The late emperor passed the throne to you? Where will the eldest prince be placed?!"
"The eldest prince?" Wei Yanzhou smiled ferociously, with overwhelming murderous intent: "You are about to die yourself, why do you care about others?"
Then the Cheng family was imprisoned as quickly as possible, forced to confess, and tortured until now.
Cheng Yi didn't know what the sky was like outside, but Cheng Ning was actually dressed as a palace concubine!
He vaguely heard from the jailer that Cheng Ning was named a concubine and ranked among the fourth concubines.
But I never believed this was true.
Wei Yanzhou and Cheng Ning, how could this be possible? ?
But if it wasn't true, with Cheng Ning's temperament, he might even be able to rob a prison.
Why was she standing next to Wei Yanzhou so calmly?
"Aning," Cheng Yi came back to his senses and looked at his sister: "What's going on?"
Cheng Ning wanted to speak.
When we didn't meet him, she had too much to say.
Now that I have seen it, all that remains is bitterness.
Yes, she was accompanied by Wei Yanzhou, who was equivalent to her enemy. What was she talking about?
Whether actively or passively, she had betrayed the Cheng family.
What's more, Cheng Ning is not a good talker to begin with.
Wei Yanzhou put a layer of shackles on her, and there was no way she could escape.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
After a long time, she made a hoarse sound.
Chen Yili looked at her with bright eyes.
Cheng Ning said softly: "You two, please make peace."
