After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

The chance encounter at this moment seemed like a subtle arrangement of fate, but the future was waiting for Wen Yinyang.

It was a decision made after dealing with my father's affairs after his death.

In this reborn world, she is determined not to allow history to repeat itself.

Don't let Wen Yinyang walk on that old thorny road again.

Around, the crowd that had stopped to watch the scene had not yet dispersed.

Their whispers were like mosquitoes on a summer night, small but hard to ignore.

Although most of them failed to recognize the low-key Cui Rongrong, they began to speculate about the woman accompanying Miss Xiao Qi.

"The one standing shoulder to shoulder with Miss Xiao Qi, could it be the eldest daughter of the Cui family who just returned to Beijing?"

One person whispered.

Another person continued, "I think it's very likely! The rumored Miss Cui is even more outstanding than Miss Zhao, the most beautiful lady in the capital. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed worthy of her reputation. But why is Miss Cui so close to the notorious Wen family? After all, the Wen family..."

His words were full of doubt and confusion.

These comments pierced the three people's sensitive hearts like needles.

Wen Yinyang pursed his lips and unconsciously took a step back, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Cui Rong.

He knew in his heart that his father was wronged because of jealousy.

He didn't want this stigma and trouble to affect Cui Rong, who had helped him many times.

Cui Yunhe nervously tugged at her sister's sleeve, her voice as soft as a mosquito's: "Sister, you have done your best to help Master Wen, we should leave here as soon as possible..."

Wen Yinyang heard it clearly. He lowered his head and whispered, with helplessness and self-blame in his voice: "I can't stay for long. Please go ahead."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Cui Rong's words brushed past his ears like a spring breeze.

Clear and firm: "If you encounter such difficulties again in the future, remember to use the token I gave you."

Wen Yinyang was stunned and turned to look at her. He saw that under the veil, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, her expression was solemn, and her determination was unquestionable.

He tightly grasped the package in his hand and watched the two sisters walk away, feeling mixed emotions.

"Sister, if you let Master Wen use your token and something goes wrong, you will be implicated."

Cui Yunhe whispered worriedly.

Cui Rong smiled lightly, her eyes gleaming with confidence: "I just want Master Wen to be able to use the token to protect himself when he encounters injustice. He is not a reckless person."

"But with the things the Wen family does behind the scenes, there's no guarantee that they won't take advantage of the opportunity to do something outrageous."

Cui Yunhe looked worried and said, "Sister finally returned to the capital, it's better for her to stay away from the Wen family."

"Do you really believe that the Wen family would do those things?"

Cui Rong asked back, her tone calm but straight to the point.

Cui Yunhe was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly said, "The emperor will personally make the judgment, so there should be no mistake..."

"Just because of a word from His Royal Highness, my parents were banished to the frontier. What crime have we committed?"

Cui Rongrong's eyes were indifferent, as if she had penetrated the fog in front of her eyes. "The Wen family has been upright officials for generations. If they really formed a clique for personal gain, how could they win the admiration of students from all over the world? And how could they be so poor that even the money collected by the emperor from the family confiscation is not enough to compare with the annual expenses of other families?"

"Besides, if Lord Wen wanted power, why would he be content to stay in the position of Grand Tutor and never go further?"

Cui Rongrong's words were powerful and every word made sense.

Cui Yunhe pondered for a while and had to admit that what her sister said made sense.

But the reality is that Lord Wen has been executed and even the ancestral tablets in the Taimiao have been taken away.

People in the world avoid it as much as possible, for fear of being implicated by it.

Is this a power game or some other hidden story behind this? Everything seems more and more confusing.

Even if the Wen family was wrongly accused of a false charge, as long as His Majesty does not exonerate the Wen family and clarify the facts.

They will be like being bound by heavy shackles, unable to break free from the notoriety of treacherous ministers forever, as if they are covered by a dark cloud, unable to see a clear sky.

Cui Rong keenly captured her sister's subtle emotions of wanting to say something but stopping herself and having a lot on her mind.

He gently patted the back of her soft hand and comforted her in a gentle but firm tone: "I understand the worries in your heart. My gift of the token was not an impulsive or rash act, but the result of repeated weighing and careful consideration."

"Your Majesty has not blamed Master Wen in the slightest, nor has he deprived him of his official position and honor. This shows that with Master Wen's wisdom and ability, he may be able to clear the Wen family's injustice and restore their reputation in the future."

Cui Yunhe suddenly realized that if Wen Yinyang could really rise to the top one day and become a pillar of the country.

Then making friends with him today will undoubtedly place a key chess piece on the chessboard of the future.

After all, the Xiao Mansion, although seemingly peaceful, actually has undercurrents.

Various forces are constantly fighting each other, and if you are not careful, the entire family may be affected.

She kept this deep meaning in her heart and said no more about it. She changed the subject and asked curiously, "Sister, you haven't told me yet, what exactly are we going to buy on this trip?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Rong curled up a gentle smile on her lips and walked into a spice shop with her sister.

"That's it. The finest spices."

Seeing a trace of nervousness flash across Cui Yunhe's face, she seemed worried that the fragrance she chose would not suit her elder sister's taste.

I thought that those carefully selected and non-greasy scents extracted from fresh flowers would win Cui Rong's favor...

Cui Rongrong caught her subtle reaction, and a hint of pity and understanding flashed in her eyes.

She knew that this was not just Cui Yunhe's overthinking, but the estrangement over the years.

This made Cui Yunhe like a little bird that was always alert to the wind and rain outside, and would panic at the slightest sign of trouble.

It will take time and patience to completely eliminate this gap.

"I did not buy it for myself, but for Her Majesty."

Cui Rongrong explained softly, with a deep look in her eyes.

Cui Yunhe looked at her in surprise, her face full of confusion: "Why did you suddenly want to offer incense to the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother was a devout Buddhist throughout her life, so her residence must have been filled with strong sandalwood incense. However, the strong sandalwood incense can easily cause dizziness and discomfort if smelled for a long time. I plan to present these fresh and elegant incense, which will not dilute the pious atmosphere of her worship of Buddha, but will also make her happy when praying, and make her physically and mentally comfortable."

This was not only an act of filial piety, but also an important chess piece for her to get close to the Queen Mother and lay out the chess game.

Now, the Queen Mother avoided him, partly because of the Emperor's attitude.

On the other hand, out of self-protection, he was unwilling to get involved in the vortex of court struggles.

However, if you want to effectively restrain the scheming Song Yanyi, you must recruit more allies.

The Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with the Queen and her offspring provided an opportunity for winning them over.

With the help of the Queen Mother, the success rate of destroying Song Yanyi's plan will be greatly increased.

Whether it is the emperor or the empress dowager in the harem.

She must carefully utilize all available resources to prepare for future storms.
