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

Chapter 52: I Can't Stand By and Watch

Cui Yunhe held her sister's arm, with a naughty smile on her face: "After taking the medicine that my sister carefully prepared, my health has improved a lot. The last time the doctor came to visit, he also said that when spring comes, my body will be even stronger."

Her eyes sparkled with gratitude. "He said, if it weren't for my sister's careful care, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to step out of the door this winter."

Cui Rong gently pinched her sister's cheek, showing both love and admonition: "I take care of your body, not to let you do whatever you want. Come on, go inside and warm up, don't catch a cold."

Cui Yunhe agreed with a smile, and the two sisters walked into the house hand in hand. In the warm atmosphere, they chatted until the night fell.

However, when the topic turned to family, Cui Yunhe's expression became solemn: "Sister, my father came back from court today with a very ugly face. He and his uncles have been locked in the study room and have not made any noise until now. Although I don't know the details, but for my father and uncles to take it so seriously, he must have encountered some difficult matter."

She looked at her sister, her eyes full of worry: "Although I want to help, I am powerless. I can only plan to go to the temple to ask for some amulets for my father and uncles, and pray to the Three Pure Ones to bless them with everything going well."

At this point, she seemed a little shy, "Sister, are you willing to go with me?"

Cui Rongrong smiled gently and firmly when she heard this: "Why do you need to say anything? The Three Pure Ones will definitely hear your prayers and bless my father and uncles to be safe."

After hearing this, Cui Yunhe's cheeks flushed and she was filled with joy.

She then asked carefully, afraid to disturb her sister's daily schedule: "I have prepared the necessary items for going to the temple, but I wonder if it is convenient for you tomorrow?"

Cui Rongrong's smile was still gentle, and she replied: "It just so happens that I don't have any other plans tomorrow. How can I not be present for such an important event as praying for my father and uncles?"

The conversation between the two sisters ended with a joke, and then Cui Rongrong personally sent Cui Yunhe out of the courtyard gate.

Watching him go away, his eyes were filled with deep love and reluctance.

Watching Cui Yunhe's delicate yet determined figure gradually disappear at the end of her sight, she set out on the path towards Cui Min's study.

The guard waiting outside the study room had a sharp eye and caught her figure. He lowered his voice and kindly reminded her, "Young lady, the general is currently discussing important matters with several distinguished gentlemen in the inner room. I'm afraid now is not the right time to visit."

Facing the guards' dissuasion, Cui Rong's voice was calm and firm: "I came here to participate in the important discussion between my father and my uncles."

The guard seemed a little embarrassed, with an indecisive look wavering between responsibility and respect. In this delicate stalemate, she simply raised her voice and shouted clearly and confidently: "Father, I have something to say to you."

Soon, the door of the study seemed to be gently pushed open by an invisible force, revealing a narrow gap.

Cui Min's figure appeared, his usually resolute face now shrouded in an undisguised fatigue. He stepped aside to make way, his eyes full of encouragement, and nodded slightly to signal her to go in.

Cui Rong walked quickly into the study room that exuded the faint scent of ink and the quiet atmosphere of time.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that the elders from all branches of the Cui family had gathered together. He immediately understood that his father must be discussing urgent matters between the military camp and the emperor with his uncles.

The uncle from the second house had wrinkles on his brows and could not hide his worry in his tone: "Brother, we all understand your love for Rongrong, but at such a critical moment, what is the purpose of calling her here?"

The fourth uncle also joined the ranks of those questioning: "That's right, do we really have to expect a yellow-haired girl to come up with some shocking plan?"

However, the third uncle's voice sounded at the right time, calmly and meaningfully: "How do you know that Rong is not capable? She has been following my eldest brother in the frontier for six years. Not only has she won a very high prestige in the army, but her status has even reached that of a deputy general. This is something that those rich girls who never leave their homes can hardly achieve."

"In the past, whenever my elder brother and I discussed matters, Rong Rong would always get to the heart of the matter. Since we are at a loss at the moment, why not let Rong Rong express her opinion as well? Maybe it will help us see the light."

The second and fourth uncles looked at each other with a hint of hesitation. At this time, Cui Rong said calmly: "Uncles, why don't you lay out the current predicament first and let me think about it."

"As for whether my opinion is feasible, please judge for yourself, uncles. As a member of the Cui family, isn't my loyalty and wisdom worthy of your trust?"

As soon as this was said, the Third Uncle nodded in agreement, his tone full of recognition: "What Rong said is very true. This matter concerns the future prosperity of the Cui family. It is always good to have one more person to give advice."

After a brief look at each other, the second and fourth rooms finally nodded, tacitly agreeing to her participation.

After seeing his daughter successfully persuade the elders, Cui Min slowly spoke in a heavy tone, "At the court this morning, I expected the emperor to take the initiative to ask about the infiltration of border spies, but I didn't expect that I didn't get a summons from the emperor until the court was dismissed."

"I tried to go to the Imperial Study to ask for an audience, but was told that the Emperor was too busy with government affairs to meet with me. It is really hard to guess what the Emperor is thinking, so I asked a few brothers to come and discuss countermeasures together."

Upon hearing this, the Third Uncle couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of confusion: "Rong Rong, what do you think the emperor's intention is? Even if he wants to hold someone accountable, he shouldn't be so indifferent!"

Cui Rong fell into deep thought. The emperor's behavior was indeed difficult to understand, especially when Song Yanyi was critically ill and the emperor had no intention of visiting him. This was totally unreasonable.

Amidst her thoughts, she suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at everyone present one by one. "I have a guess, but I'm afraid my father and uncles will find it incredible if I tell them out loud."

Cui Min hurriedly urged, "Just tell us, we all want to hear the details."

So, she slowly opened her mouth, and every word was powerful: "I guess the emperor may not have seen the memorial about the spies in person, or the memorial has never been delivered to him."

She turned to Cui Min and said, "Enemy spies have infiltrated the border defense line. This is a serious matter. If the emperor knew about it, he would be extremely anxious and eager to resolve it."

"The enemies outside the border have long been eyeing our territory, and will attempt to invade it if they get a chance. Your Majesty has been worried about this for a long time, and he will never ignore it."
