The emperor went to Fengwu Palace for dinner in the evening. The empress heard that Mo Jinghong was brought back to the palace from the Dali Temple by the emperor's order, and was scolded in person, beaten with the stick thirty times and then let him go. She was very unhappy.

During the meal, no one spoke. When the emperor finished his meal, the empress asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that the prince of Qin was brought into the palace, and Your Majesty interrogated him and beat him with a stick."

"Well, that's right. You are well-informed." The emperor took the wet towel handed to him by the palace maid and wiped his hands, then took the fragrant tea and rinsed his mouth.

"Then, Your Majesty, what should we do with the Prince of Qin next? This boy has been rebellious since he was young. If he is not severely punished, I am afraid he will become even more lawless in the future." said the Queen.

"Well, Queen, there is no need to say more. I will make the decision on this matter."

"Your Majesty, Yier is your most beloved son." The queen cried.

"As a father, I am heartbroken that Yi'er was injured. But what Yi'er did was ridiculous. He actually fought with Mo Jinghong in He's company for a woman."

The Queen was a little confused as to why a woman was involved. It was completely different from what Mo Lianyi told her. "Your Majesty, how did you know this? Mo Jinghong made up a lie to get away with it. You can't trust everything he says."

"Are you questioning my judgment, Queen? I'm not that stupid!" The emperor sighed and continued, "Let Yi'er recuperate in the palace. Mo Jinghong has been punished. Don't mention this matter again."

"Your Majesty..." The Queen was about to say something else, but the Emperor sighed and said, "Queen, I came to see you. Don't keep talking about the children. I will stay with you tonight."

The empress was a little overjoyed when she saw that the emperor was going to stay overnight in Fengwu Palace. They were a middle-aged couple, and the emperor did not come to Fengwu Palace to stay overnight except for the first day of each month. There were so many young and beautiful faces in the palace, and the emperor rarely accompanied her. At this moment, she was only happy and did not dare to mention Mo Lianyi again.

When Mo Jinghong came out of the palace and returned to He Mansion, it was already dark. Wen Qingcheng had been squatting not far from the gate of He Mansion, waiting silently. Mo Lianche asked her to come back and wait for news, so she came to He Mansion, but she was embarrassed to go in, so she had to wait at the gate of He Mansion, and squatted down when she was tired of waiting.

It was Bai Wei who first saw the carriage coming this way and stopped at the gate of He Mansion. "Miss, look."

Wen Qingcheng looked up and saw two people dressed as guards helping a tall man down from the carriage. In the moonlight, she saw that the man being helped was Mo Jinghong. Wen Qingcheng stood up and ran over.

"Brother Mo..." Wen Qingcheng grabbed Mo Jinghong's hand and looked him up and down nervously.

Mo Jinghong saw Wen Qingcheng appear at the gate of He Mansion so late, holding his cold little hand, and knew that she must have been waiting outside for a long time. He said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Why are you waiting for me outside? What if you get frozen?"

At this time, Axuan and several servants from the He Mansion came out. After handing over Mo Lianche's guards to Axuan and the others, they returned to the palace to report.

"Prince, how are you?" Ah Falcon could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Mo Jinghong. Seeing that he was not walking properly, he and a servant from the He Mansion, one on each side, carried Mo Jinghong into the mansion.

Wen Qingcheng and Bai Wei followed in, but were stopped by the gatekeeper of the He Mansion. Mo Jinghong turned around and saw Wen Qingcheng's worried expression. He knew Wen Qingcheng. If he didn't let her in to make sure he was okay, she would definitely be worried and unable to sleep all night.

"Let them in." Mo Jinghong said.

Ah Falcon also said to the doorman: "Look carefully, this is Miss Wen. Don't stop Miss Wen from coming next time."

The group carried Mo Jinghong back to his room. Wen Qingcheng followed him in regardless of whether it was convenient or not. The servant went to report to Master He.

"Brother Mo, you are injured." Wen Qingcheng looked at the dried blood on Mo Jinghong's forehead, her eyes misty.

Mo Jinghong lay on the bed sideways and reached out to touch Wen Qingcheng's head. "It's okay. Your elder brother Mo has thick skin and this injury doesn't hurt at all. His Majesty scolded me today. Thanks to the Crown Prince's intercession, I was pulled out of the prison. This matter is over."

Wen Qingcheng saw that Mo Jinghong looked pale and leaned sideways, and she felt something was wrong. "Do you have other injuries on your body?"

"Your Majesty gave me thirty lashes of the cane. Fortunately, the crown prince was supervising the execution. They didn't dare to really hit me. They were just pretending."

"I'm still talking. I'm sweating from the pain." Wen Qingcheng raised her hand to wipe the sweat off Mo Jinghong's forehead.

"It really doesn't hurt. When I see you, I forget all the pain."

Ah Falcon, who was standing by and saw that his own prince was in such a state, did not forget to say sweet words to Miss Wen. He sighed softly in his heart and said, "Prince, I will check your injuries."

Wen Qingcheng knew that Mo Jinghong was conservative, so she stood up and walked out with a worried look on her face. As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Mr. He and Mrs. He coming in. When they saw Wen Qingcheng was there, they didn't say anything and went straight into Mo Jinghong's bedroom.

As soon as Madam He entered, she started crying out of distress. After Mr. He understood the whole story and knew that the matter had been resolved, he was relieved. Fearing that the old lady would be too sad and that it would affect Mo Jinghong's treatment, he coaxed the old lady back to the room together.

When passing by Wen Qingcheng, Master He said, "Pharmacist Wen, please take care of the prince's injury and give him the best medicinal herbs."

"Yes, I will." Wen Qingcheng nodded.

Madam He and Wen Qingcheng had dinner together once, when the He family won the championship and invited Wen Qingcheng to the He Mansion. Madam He liked Wen Qingcheng very much and supported Mo Jinghong to take her in. She walked to Wen Qingcheng, patted her hands, and said with a sob, "Take good care of Hong'er."

After seeing the two elders off, Wen Qingcheng found a clean basin in the house, filled it with space spiritual spring water, and took out sterile gauze from the space.

"A Falcon, A Falcon..." Wen Qingcheng called softly at the door.

Soon, Ah Falcon came out, "Miss Wen, the prince has some injuries on his back and hips, do you have any medicine?"

"Yes, you clean him first. This is not ordinary water, this is... this is water with medicine added." Wen Qingcheng handed the basin and sterile gauze to Axuan, asked Axuan to help wipe him, and handed Axuan a bottle of medicine.

Ah Falcon treated the wound and came out with a basin. Wen Qingcheng could see the blood in the basin with the help of the light. Her heart ached. "Can I go in and see him now?"

Ah Falcon had already helped Mo Jinghong change his clothes after applying the medicine, so he nodded. Wen Qingcheng didn't care about much and walked in.

"Brother Mo." Wen Qingcheng squatted down, tears falling from her eyes uncontrollably.

Mo Jinghong was most afraid of Wen Qingcheng crying, so he wiped away the tears from her eyes distressedly, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

"It's all because of me..."

"Don't think like that. This is all Mo Lianyi's fault. It has nothing to do with you. My Cheng'er is excellent and beautiful. This is not your fault. Mo Lianyi coveted you and harassed you while I was away. It was wrong of him."

Wen Qingcheng felt warm and sad when she saw Mo Jinghong comforting her even though he was injured. "Is it really okay?"
