After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall
Chapter 41 A Summons from the Palace
Lin Yuanming held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes flashing with disbelief: "My wife, how do you feel?"
Mrs. Lin tried to squeeze out a weak but vital smile: "I... I'm a little hungry, I want to eat something..."
Lin Yuanming was surprised and moved when he heard this. His eyes widened with disbelief: "I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"
Recalling that Mrs. Lin had lost her appetite due to her increasingly weak health, she would never take the initiative to eat unless I persuaded her earnestly. Hearing her asking for food on her own initiative now seemed like the best gift given by God.
Soon, a bowl of steaming porridge with a faint rice aroma was brought into the room by the maid accompanied by light footsteps.
The maid gently helped Mrs. Lin change her clothes and wiped her body carefully.
Outside the door, Lin Yuanming and Cui Rong stood quietly, looking through the half-open door at the warm and moving scene.
Lin Yuanming's heart was filled with inexpressible gratitude. He turned to look at Cui Rong, his eyes full of sincerity: "If it weren't for Miss Cui today, how could I see you looking so energetic!"
Cui Rongrong smiled gently: "After three years of ups and downs, we finally welcomed the bright moon in the clear night sky."
She then instructed, "Madam still needs to rest and not overwork. Sir Lin, please keep these carefully selected herbs properly and give them to Madam once a day on time."
Lin Yuanming nodded solemnly, and said firmly: "I will follow Miss Cui's instructions!"
Upon learning that Mrs. Lin was no longer in danger, Cui Rong was ready to leave, but was stopped by Lin Yuanming's words.
"Miss Cui, please stay. I think I must remind you of something."
Lin Yuanming's expression turned serious.
"Master Lin, please speak. You are welcome."
Cui Rongrong stopped, turned around and listened carefully.
"I hope Miss Cui can handle her relationship with Master Wen carefully and keep an appropriate distance."
Lin Yuanming said frankly, "I know that you helped Master Wen twice, both times out of your chivalrous heart, which is reasonable."
"But regardless of the Wen family's innocence or not, Master Wen's special status means that being too close to him may cause trouble."
He spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
Cui Rongrong's expression was calm, showing a maturity and steadiness beyond her age: "I understand Lord Lin's concerns. I know what to do with Master Wen."
"I naturally believe in Miss Cui's judgment, but things are unpredictable. It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."
Lin Yuanming's eyes were sharp and deep. "With the return of General Cui and the Crown Prince, the undercurrent is surging behind the scenes. Our every move may become a thorn in the eyes of others."
"Any disturbance may be exploited by others. It will not be a good thing for General Cui or you."
Cui Rongrong pondered for a moment. She had already thought about this and tried to be as low-key as possible when helping Wen Yinyang and reduce unnecessary interactions to avoid giving others an advantage.
She raised her head and looked at Lin Yuanming firmly: "I will remember Lord Lin's advice in my heart. I will be more cautious in the future and stay away from Master Wen."
Lin Yuanming nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid that the situation has developed to this point and has fallen into the eyes of some people with ulterior motives."
Cui Rong's lips were tightly pursed, and a trace of determination and coldness flashed in her eyes that could not be ignored.
If someone really uses this as a handle, she will never sit idly by and will firmly defend her reputation and dignity!
……
The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, Cui Rong got up and began her daily sword practice.
The sword light was like a dragon, shuttling through the morning dew, until beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. She slowly put away the sword, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally, yet extremely fulfilled.
"Sister's swordsmanship is getting better and better!" Cui
Yunhe's eyes sparkled with admiration and her voice was filled with sincere praise.
Cui Rongrong responded with a gentle smile, warm and bright.
"When you have fully recovered, we will practice swordplay together. You should also continue to pass on the skills that our father has taught us since we were young." She
There was both expectation and encouragement in his tone, which made it impossible to refuse.
"it is good!"
Cui Yunhe agreed readily, with longing for the future shining in her eyes.
Afterwards, she lovingly handed over an exquisite sweat towel, the fine stitches of which revealed the owner's attentiveness, while the maid Caiyun beside her quickly and elegantly set the breakfast table, the aroma filling the air, making one's mouth water.
The two sisters sat around the dining table, which was simply but warmly decorated, chatting and laughing.
However, this peaceful and beautiful morning was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.
A guard rushed in, panting and pale, obviously having come from a long journey.
"It's terrible, young lady! The master...he's been put under house arrest in the palace!"
Before he finished speaking, his chest rose and fell, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the running just now.
Cui Rongrong's face suddenly became solemn, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"What are the details?"
She spoke calmly, trying to grasp more information from the guard's rapid breathing.
The guard took a deep breath, managed to calm himself, and continued, "The master was impeached by several ministers. They accused you of frequent contact with the young master of the Wen family, and then insinuated that the master and Lord Wen were suspected of forming a clique for personal gain!"
Having said that, he couldn't help swallowing and glanced nervously at the two sisters' reactions.
"The Emperor is furious about this. The eunuchs in the palace are already waiting outside the door, and they want you to enter the palace immediately!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and the atmosphere in the room froze instantly.
Cui Yunhe's face lost all color, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, what should I do?"
Obviously, this sudden change caught her off guard.
Faced with her sister's panic, Cui Rong was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about countermeasures.
Finally, she gently patted Cui Yunhe's hand and said in a firm and comforting tone: "My father and I will be fine, don't worry."
Although her heart was full of unknowns, her tone was extremely firm, as if she was telling herself and her sister that they had to be strong.
After saying that, she straightened her back and walked towards the gate with steady and resolute steps.
Deep in the imperial palace, in a magnificent hall, Cui Min knelt beneath the golden throne, surrounded by solemn-looking ministers, who spoke passionately to the emperor one after another.
"Your Majesty, General Cui allowed his daughter to have close contact with the young master of the Wen family. He obviously had ulterior motives and he really let down your Majesty's love and trust! I implore your Majesty to conduct a strict and thorough investigation to show fairness and not show any leniency to prevent the bad behavior from happening again and prevent others from following suit!" The minister's words were like sharp arrows, every word piercing his ears.
"I feel the same way!"
