Wen Liang had been feeling guilty because Wen Qingcheng was falsely accused of theft a few days ago. He had been running to He's house every day in the past two days, bringing them food and other things.

"Dad, you can go back now. You don't have to send me food every day. Brother Mo is worried that I won't eat well, so he specially asked He's small kitchen to prepare some private dishes."

"Qingqing, it's Daddy who didn't protect you well, and you suffered so much." Wen Liang wanted to spend more time with his daughter. She had never had a good day with him since she was a child. Now that conditions are better, he can't recognize her for the time being. He will find a chance to confront the princess after the New Year.

"Dad, I really don't feel wronged. Brother Mo is very good to me. I am doing very well. You don't need to worry about me. But you, don't let me ruin the harmony between you and your wife." Wen Qingcheng said sincerely. She didn't expect to be able to enter the Marquis' Mansion. Since Wen Liang has a new family, he should live his life well. She has Mo Jinghong, and nothing else matters.

Although Wen Liang wanted to stay with his daughter, he was afraid of disturbing her work, so he left He's company after being persuaded by Wen Qingcheng.

Wen Qingcheng sent Wen Liang out of the He family's gate and happened to meet a man in eunuch's palace clothes getting off a carriage.

When the doorman saw that it was someone from the palace, he immediately went to greet him and said, "Your Excellency, I will ask our steward to come out right away."

"I'm not here to ask you to manage things. Please ask your doctor Wen to come out and listen to the Queen Mother's order."

Wen Qingcheng and her father were walking over there and were surprised to hear that the eunuch was coming to see her on the order of the Queen Mother. Wen Qingcheng and Wen Liang exchanged glances.

Obviously, the doorman didn't know who Doctor Wen was, as there was no one with the last name Wen in He's medical department.

"Father, we don't have a doctor named Wen here. What's the name of the person you're looking for?"

"Wen Qingcheng." Eunuch Li said.

Wen Qingcheng's expression tensed. It turned out that they were coming for her. She just heard their conversation that it was the Queen Mother's decree. Could it be that the Queen Mother was ill again?

It happened that the doorman also saw Wen Qingcheng at this time, and Wen Qingcheng had to hurry over to listen to the order.

After hearing the decree, Wen Qingcheng took the empress dowager's order with both hands, wondering why the empress dowager asked her to enter the palace to treat the fourth prince. She didn't want to deal with people in the palace. There were many rules in the palace and one could lose one's life if one was not careful. She would rather treat civilians for free than treat those powerful people, especially since there were the crown prince and the third prince in the palace, both of whom she didn't want to see.

Now that the end of the year is approaching, Mo Jinghong, as the general, has a lot of camp affairs to take care of. He has been in the Yanshan camp in recent days. The only person she can ask for help now is Wen Liang.

After sending off the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, Wen Qingcheng whispered, "The imperial doctors in the palace are all the best in Da Qi. It is not my turn to treat the Fourth Prince."

Wen Qingcheng didn't expect that the Queen Mother wanted her to treat the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince was so precious that many imperial doctors dared not use strong medicines to treat the princes and wives in the palace. They would rather fail to cure the disease than take any risk. Entering the palace to treat the princes was a high-risk job, and Wen Liang could not have recommended her. The old lady had just been able to walk and had not yet left the mansion, so it was impossible for her to recommend her. Could it be Princess Pingning? Or was it Jin Jiarou, the legitimate daughter of Duke Lu who had been looking down on her that day?

Wen Qingcheng analyzed them one by one, and Princess Pingning and Jin Jiarou were the most suspicious. If Wen Qingcheng couldn't cure the disease, and something went wrong, they would be reprimanded and imprisoned at best, or even killed at worst. If Wen Qingcheng cured the fourth prince, then the person who recommended her would have done a great deed. She would benefit no matter what, she was really thoughtful.

Wen Liang frowned and said, "I am also wondering about this. Not many people in the capital know that you have medical skills. I don't know who recommended you. But the Queen Mother has issued an order, and now you can only enter the palace. Dad will find you an imperial physician in the palace to tell you about the Fourth Prince's condition and the prescriptions that the Fourth Prince has used, so that you can have an idea. It doesn't matter if you can't be cured, but you must pay attention to safety."

At noon, Wen Liang invited an imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to have a meal at a restaurant outside, and gave Wen Qingcheng "pre-entry guidance". After that, Wen Qingcheng went home first. When Wen Liang returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he saw Princess Pingning and Ye Jinqian sitting in the flower hall with gloomy faces, as if waiting for Wen Liang, and there were several maids and old women standing beside them.

As soon as Wen Liang stepped in, he heard Princess Pingning say in a gloomy voice, "Hey, the Marquis is back. I thought he wasn't coming back."

Wen Liang's face darkened. Although he respected Princess Pingning, he would not agree if Princess Pingning deliberately hurt his daughter. "What do you mean, Madam? I went out to invite the imperial physician Jiang from the palace to dinner so that he could talk to Doctor Wen about the Fourth Prince's condition."

Ye Jinqian sneered: "Dad, you care so much about Doctor Wen. If you like Doctor Wen, just take her to the Marquis' Mansion. Why do you have to be so sneaky?"

When Princess Pingning brought Ye Jinqian to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, Ye Jinqian was already fifteen years old. In name, she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but she looked down on this adopted father who was originally from the countryside, and had no respect for Wen Liang.

"Qian'er, what do you mean by this! I ask you, were you the ones who recommended Doctor Wen to His Majesty to treat the Fourth Prince?" Wen Liang frowned and asked.

Princess Pingning was a little surprised to see Wen Liang get angry for the first time, but then she realized that he was protecting that little vixen, and she was furious. "Does the Marquis want to eat us? If the Marquis cares about that Wen girl, he can just divorce me and marry her!" Princess Pingning shouted at the top of her voice.

Seeing that there were still maids and old women in the room, Wen Liang felt it was not appropriate to reveal Wen Qingcheng's identity at the moment. He thought of waiting for an opportunity to calm down with Princess Pingning and talk about the matter slowly.

"What are you shouting about!" Wen Liang growled.

"Since the Marquis dared to do it and didn't let anyone say anything, I didn't recommend that woman to treat the Fourth Prince. The Marquis wanted to get angry with the wrong person!" Princess Pingning stood up and took Ye Jinqian's hand and said, "Qian'er, let's go home!"

When Wen Liang heard that she wanted to go back to Princess Liyang's mansion, he hurriedly stopped her. Princess Liyang was overbearing and strong, and the original quarrel between the couple became uncontrollable and escalated as soon as she intervened, escalating the conflict.

"Why are you leaving? It's really not you who should say that." Wen Liang stopped Princess Pingning and forced her to sit down.

Ye Jinqian crossed her arms and glanced at Wen Liang. "Of course it wasn't mother who said that. It was Jin Jiarou from the Duke of Lu's family who said that. Jiarou and the Duke's wife went to the palace to attend the Queen Mother's banquet the day before yesterday. They heard that the Fourth Prince was ill and the doctors were helpless. Jiarou mentioned that Wen Qingcheng had extraordinary acupuncture skills and had saved the old lady, so she recommended her."

So that's it! Wen Liang suddenly realized that if he thought about it carefully, it couldn't be Princess Pingning who said that. The old lady had a stroke because of a quarrel with her. The Great Qi Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and Princess Pingning would not take the initiative to talk about this in the palace.

"I misunderstood Madam." Wen Liang said calmly. Although he had made all the preparations, he was still a little worried about Wen Qingcheng. He wanted to accompany Wen Qingcheng into the palace, but unfortunately he was a man and could not enter the harem without an imperial edict. Now he could only pray that his Qingcheng would be stable and released from the palace as soon as possible.
