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

Cui Rongrong nodded slightly in agreement, then lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Although this incident was the result of Song Yanchen's eagerness for quick success, in such a major event, he would most likely transfer his anger to Wen Yinyang, who had already reminded him.

It seems that I must go and investigate personally tonight to find out the truth of the matter.

Shortly after returning to the mansion, Cui Rong changed into night clothes and left the mansion quietly.

Zhao Lin, who had been waiting for her movement in secret, was about to follow her quietly, but was blocked by Tianlang who appeared out of nowhere.

Zhao Lin cursed in his heart, but he managed a bitter smile on his face: "I heard some noises, so I wanted to come and take a look. Tianlang, did you find anything unusual?"

Tianlang's voice was cold and firm: "Everything is normal. Your mission is to protect Miss Seven. You are not allowed to act without authorization. If Miss Eldest finds out, you will inevitably be punished."

"Although the eldest lady ordered me to protect the seventh lady, the master has already assigned me to the eldest lady's command. The eldest lady is my master. How can I ignore the master's movements?"

Zhao Lin smiled meaningfully, "Tianlang, are you afraid that I will take your job?"

There was a hint of provocation in his eyes, but Tianlang's face remained calm, completely unaffected by his provocation.

"You should return to your post."

Zhao Lin gritted his teeth secretly in his heart. This was not the first time he tried to alienate the people around Cui Rongrong. He wanted to create a rift between them and Cui Rongrong so that he could take advantage of the opportunity and win Cui Rongrong's trust.

However, whether it was Xifeng or Tianlang, their loyalty to Cui Rongrong was unbreakable, and he could not find any loophole to intervene.

As he turned around, his eyes followed the direction Cui Rong left, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must find a suitable opportunity to follow closely!

At this time, Cui Rongrong had already arrived at the door of Xie's mansion.

The lights in the mansion were dim. Just as she was hesitating whether to go to the palace to visit first, she heard light footsteps behind her.

She suddenly turned around and saw Wen Yinyang walking slowly towards the study with a little fatigue.

Cui Rong quickly jumped down from the wall and stood in front of him.

Wen Yinyang was stunned. "Miss Cui, have you been waiting here for a long time?"

Cui Rongrong did not answer directly, but looked at Wen Yinyang carefully. Noticing the wrinkles on his collar, she frowned slightly, "Did the Sixth Prince attack you?"

"No." Wen Yinyang shook his head and denied, "The Sixth Prince just grabbed my collar when he was emotional, and he didn't do anything else excessive."

"Don't worry, Miss Cui. Although I need the Sixth Prince's protection, I am not someone who can be manipulated at will."

Cui Rong had no objection to this.

Wen Yinyang has his own principles and will never lose himself by asking others for help.

"What did the Sixth Prince scold you for?" Cui Rong asked.

Wen Yinyang smiled bitterly, "The Sixth Prince asked me why I failed to stop him in time, which led to the Emperor's disgust towards him. Judging from the Emperor's attitude tonight, I'm afraid he won't be willing to see him again in the near future."

"The Sixth Prince urged me to find a solution as soon as possible, but this matter is complicated and it is not easy to win back the Emperor's favor."

Cui Rongrong did not immediately comment. "The Sixth Prince proposed to the Emperor in public that he wanted to place his confidants in the army. The Emperor would naturally think that the Sixth Prince had some intentions for military power."

"The military power has always been held by the emperor himself. Even if the Sixth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince assist in handling state affairs, they are mostly limited to the daily trivialities of the court. It is indeed not an easy task for the Sixth Prince to regain the emperor's trust."

Wen Yinyang sighed softly, "In the current situation, we can only adapt to the situation. The emperor's mind is difficult to guess, so we can only wait patiently for the opportunity."

"If the Sixth Prince had followed Miss Cui's advice, perhaps he wouldn't have come to this point today."

Seeing his worried face, Cui Rongrong comforted him, "Things are not hopeless yet. The Sixth Prince still has a chance to turn the situation around. Although he can't do it alone, he can rely on the power of Imperial Concubine Jing."

Wen Yinyang thought for a moment, "Noble Concubine Jing is in poor health. Although she is a noble concubine, her influence in the harem is limited. The Sixth Prince may not want to involve the Queen in this dispute."

Cui Rongrong smiled slightly, "The Sixth Prince and Imperial Concubine Jing have a deep mother-son relationship. If one is in trouble, how can the other stay out of it?"

"What's more, Imperial Concubine Jing's health has improved a lot. She often accompanies the Queen Mother and is deeply loved by her. If the Queen Mother can say a few good words for the Sixth Prince in front of the Emperor, wouldn't the current dilemma be solved?"

Wen Yinyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head seriously, "Miss Cui's words make sense, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Sixth Prince to agree."

"I always feel that the Sixth Prince intends to let Concubine Jing participate in state affairs. Otherwise, with her status, she should be able to provide more help to the Sixth Prince." Cui Rong felt mixed emotions when she heard this, but said nothing more.

She knew that Concubine Jing was of humble origin, and even if she wanted to promote her family members, she had already been suppressed by the Queen and had no power to fight back.

How could Song Yanchen not have his own considerations about Concubine Jing's increasingly thin appearance?

However, speculation is just speculation after all. Without solid evidence, everything is just empty talk.

Cui Rongrong looked at Wen Yinyang firmly, "If Master Wen came forward to persuade the Sixth Prince, I'm afraid the Sixth Prince would not believe it easily. This matter still requires me to take action personally."

"As soon as I show up, the Sixth Prince will definitely weigh the matter carefully." She spoke confidently.

Wen Yinyang glanced at her disapprovingly and said, "Miss Cui, it's better not to get involved in this matter. The Sixth Prince is not favored by the Emperor right now. If someone spreads rumors behind your back, it might affect your reputation."

"There are many eyes watching the Cui family's every move. I'm worried that the situation like before will happen again, where Miss Cui and Mr. Cui are criticized." Wen Yinyang's concerns are not unreasonable.

Cui Rong chuckled and seemed calm, "I was careless last time. I won't give anyone a chance to take advantage of me again."

"Moreover, in comparison, I would rather not see the prince monopolizing power in the court. Master Wen once promised to help me. Is he going to go back on his word so soon?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, yet she remained serious.

Wen Yinyang opened his mouth, but finally could only nod helplessly. He knew that once Cui Rongrong made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

Cui Rongrong raised a faint smile and whispered a few words into Wen Yinyang's ear. After listening, the latter nodded thoughtfully, "I have taken note of Miss Cui's instructions, but you still have to reconsider this matter..."

Before Wen Yinyang could finish, Cui Rong interrupted him, "There must be someone in the court who can check and balance the prince. Every plan of mine is carefully considered, and I will never put myself in danger."
