Mo Lianyi snorted coldly and said, "What's the benefit? The benefit is huge."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

Mo Lianyi subconsciously moved closer to Mo Lianjin and whispered, "Military power!"

Mo Lianjin's pupils trembled for a moment, then he nodded in understanding, "The prince is very scheming. As long as there are wars, the military power will always be in the hands of Mo Jinghong."

"Yes, although the emperor looks like he is in his prime, I have asked Doctor Jiang, and he is actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The pills he takes on a daily basis will make him stronger and improve his complexion, but if taken for a long time, they will also drain his body."

The underground palace built by Mo Lianyi is full of extraordinary people. The elixir he presented to His Majesty has miraculous effects, which can turn middle-aged people into vigorous young men. However, people are greedy, and the emperor seems to have become dependent on this medicine.

"Third brother, the crown prince is determined to seize the military power and the throne. We must dethrone the crown prince as soon as possible while our father is still in good health."

"Second brother, I have already prepared for this. I have already won over several generals in the court and secretly changed the defense of the Yanshan Camp. Only a few senior generals will remain. But when that day comes, our people will unite and kill those senior generals and replace them. The dispatch of the Yanshan Camp will be in the hands of our people."

......

Wen Qingcheng lived in Baoning Palace every day with Princess Yanyue. She faced the same face every day and looked at the small world above her head. For the first time, she felt what it meant to look at the world from a narrow perspective. Fortunately, she felt relieved when she saw Princess Yanyue's progress day by day.

The second course of treatment was quickly completed, and the third course of treatment would be carried out after a seven-day rest. Princess Yanyue's facial expressions were now under control, and her body movements were less swaying. When she was deliberately controlling her body, she could keep her body still. The Queen Mother and Concubine Xian were very satisfied with the treatment results, and when they sent Wen Qingcheng out of the palace, they rewarded her with a lot of jewelry.

Wen Qingcheng's whereabouts were top secret, so Concubine Xian sent an inconspicuous sedan chair that was tightly covered on all sides. The eunuchs took the empress dowager's handwritten order and had no obstruction all the way. The curtain of the sedan chair was only lifted when it came to He. Wen Qingcheng looked for a while before realizing that she had left the palace.

After taking down the two large bags and bidding farewell to the person who escorted her out, Yingge ran over and said, "Miss."

"Yingge, why are you here?"

"I knew the young lady had left the palace these two days, so I had been waiting outside the palace gate. When I saw the sedan chair covered so tightly, I knew it was you, so I followed you all the way here." Yingge took the bag from Wen Qingcheng and put it on her back, and the two of them walked back home.

"Miss." Zhu Ling was particularly friendly when he saw Wen Qingcheng. He hurried over and took the bag from Yingge. "Here, give it to me."

Yingge handed one over, and Zhuling asked curiously, "What are you holding, young lady? It's so heavy."

Wen Qingcheng smiled and said, "Zhu Ling, are you feeling better? You were injured before, so you need to take good care of yourself. Don't do heavy work at home. Ask the men for help."

Zhu Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and Wen Qingcheng smiled and said, "Why do I feel like crying?"

It would have been fine if Wen Qingcheng hadn't said anything. As soon as she did, Zhu Ling turned her head away, covered her mouth and started crying. "I didn't cry, I was just moved. The girl has been gone for so long, and she still cares about my health when she comes back."

"Okay, why do you cry for no reason? Remember, we are grown-up women and we don't shed tears easily." Wen Qingcheng put her arm around Zhu Ling's shoulders and walked into the house.

Zhu Ling wiped away her tears and talked about how Mo Jinghong and Ah Falcon had come a few days ago. "The prince sat on the rocking chair you often sat on in the flower hall for an entire afternoon and then left. I guess he was reminded of you by the sight of the rocking chair."

Yingge said, "Oh, girl, I received news from A Falcon that the prince went to Fenggu Camp. It seems that he was there for the warhorse. A Falcon didn't tell me any more details."

Wen Qingcheng felt disappointed when she heard that Mo Jinghong had left again, but she knew that Mo Jinghong had a heavy responsibility and could not always be with her. All she could do was to support her, take good care of herself, not let him worry, and protect the He family for him.

Wen Qingcheng was disappointed for only a moment before she smiled and said, "The prince has his own things to do, let's wait for him to come back and give him a good welcome." After saying that, Wen Qingcheng's eyes turned and she called the two girls over, "Yingge, Zhuling, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian gave me a lot of good things when I came back this time, you can pick out some that you like."

Wen Qingcheng opened the bundle and the box, and all kinds of jewelry came into view, as well as rouge and powder supplied by the vassal state. Zhu Ling and Yingge were embarrassed to take them, and Yingge said, "I am used to wearing men's clothes on weekdays, so I don't need these."

Now Yingge is protecting Wen Qingcheng closely, and her female identity has been made public. However, she has been used to dressing in men's clothes since she was a child, and now she doesn't wear women's clothes.

Zhu Ling also said: "These are all gifts from the Empress in the palace. How can I, with my status, be worthy of such good things?"

"If you don't want to pick, then I'll pick a few for you. You're not allowed to refuse." After Wen Qingcheng picked the ones, she stuffed them into the two men's arms.

Wen Qingcheng excitedly took out a few boxes of rouge cream, and the three of them tried the colors. Women love beauty by nature, and Yingge is no exception. Seeing those bright rouge creams, she happily applied them on her wrists to try out the colors.

Wen Qingcheng picked out some jewelry and rouge and powder, intending to leave them for Bai Wei. However, she waited until dark, but Bai Wei did not come back.

Zhu Ling prepared the meal and brought it in. "Miss, are you going to eat in your room or outside tonight?" Wen Qingcheng sat at the table with her hands on her cheeks and said, "Let's eat outside together. Why hasn't Bai Wei come back yet?"

"Bai Wei said the day before yesterday that the He family has been very busy recently. Sometimes when they need to process something, she said that if it's too late, she will stay there. She didn't come back yesterday." Zhu Ling said.

Wen Qingcheng nodded, thinking about it, it was true. Now the He family was recruiting new people, and the old man not only had to take care of the new people, but also had to deal with a batch of orders from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There was not enough manpower, and there was time for processing, so he did not wait for Bai Wei, and the three of them sat together to eat.

Seeing that there were still some snacks at home, Wen Qingcheng packed a box, locked the door, and went to He's with Yingge Zhuling to visit Bai Wei, as a way to digest the food after the meal.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, the night sky is filled with stars, and the air is chilly. Wen Qingcheng is wearing a thick cloak, but she doesn't feel cold.

The three of them strolled to He's. The door of He's was closed and it was very quiet inside. The gatehouse was lit with warm orange light. Wen Qingcheng went over to ask and found out where Bai Wei had gone when she was not working today.

"Girl, we haven't seen anyone along the way. Maybe we took the wrong path." Zhu Ling said.
