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

By facilitating the meeting between the Sixth Prince and Lord Liu, my plan has been more than half successful. As for the subsequent twists and turns, they were all within my expectations.

This matter does involve hidden risks, but Wen agreed to it without hesitation. I will always remember the young lady's kindness in recognizing my talent.

Wen Yinyang quickly expressed his gratitude, with a bit of self-blame in his tone. For me, even such a small thing is enough to make me feel guilty. Miss Cui was so polite that I felt uneasy.

Cui Rongrong gently raised her hand, interrupting the more humble words that he was about to blurt out. I have already made it clear before that I am actually paving the way for myself by helping Master Wen and the Sixth Prince. If there is a need in the future, I will directly ask you to help me. Master Wen does not need to be polite to me, and I will not be polite to you either.

Otherwise, our gratitude to each other will be endless. When will it ever come to an end? There was a certain carefreeness in her words.

Wen Yinyang wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he chose to remain silent and respected Cui Rongrong's decision.

The atmosphere changed subtly, and Cui Rong lightly changed the subject: The Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, did the Sixth Prince have any special arrangements for it?

These past few days, the Sixth Prince had been frowning over this matter, unable to sleep or eat.

Wen Yinyang's face became serious, revealing a bit of worry. The emperor had not been close to the Sixth Prince for several days. Although the Sixth Prince tried his best, he still couldn't see any improvement.

Therefore, the Sixth Prince wanted to take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday to plan a grand event that would make the Emperor happy and win his smile. His words were full of expectation.

Cui Rongrong's lips curled up into a gentle smile. This was indeed a great opportunity that the Sixth Prince must not miss. The Queen Mother usually loved quietness and was tired of the hustle and bustle of the world. If the Sixth Prince could organize a birthday banquet that would satisfy the Queen Mother's wishes and please the Emperor, it would not only promote the restoration of the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but would also be a great help to the Sixth Prince himself.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have already seen through this opportunity, and may already be secretly preparing for the celebration.

In the previous life, Song Yanyi and Song Yanchen spared no effort to gain the support of the Queen Mother in order to compete for the throne.

However, the Queen Mother always remained neutral and lent a helping hand to both of them, because she knew very well that no matter who eventually ascended the throne, her position as the Queen Mother would still be extremely respected.

Therefore, it is not easy to win the heart of the Queen Mother.

Cui Rongrong turned her gaze to Wen Yinyang and said, "When it comes to the Empress Dowager's preferences, the Sixth Prince naturally knows much more than I do. It is really difficult for me to come up with any unique insights."

Please ask Master Wen to tell the Sixth Prince that you can't chew too much. The long-standing grudge between the Emperor and the Queen Mother cannot be immediately resolved by just a birthday banquet. Her words were rational and calm.

Wen Yinyang nodded solemnly and said, "I will convey Miss Cui's advice to the Sixth Prince tomorrow."

Every move made by the Sixth Prince is crucial and cannot be missed. I will never let the tragedy of history repeat itself. Cui Rong's eyes were firm.

She knew Song Yanchen's past deeds very well. Although Song Yanchen did make mistakes, the poison that Song Yanyi was poisoned with was different from Song Yanchen's behavior.

All of that was just a carefully planned play in conjunction with the Queen in order to lift the house arrest.

Her tone was calm and indifferent. That action was the result of the Sixth Prince's impulse. By the time Master Wen found out, it was already irreversible. Master Wen was not responsible for this matter, so he did not need to blame himself.

But if Master Wen doesn't want to fall into the same predicament again, he should find out the person behind the scenes as soon as possible. People with ulterior motives around you will eventually become a burden to you. Her words were full of warnings and hit the nail on the head.

When Wen Yinyang heard this, the expression on his face became more solemn.

He looked deeply at Cui Rongrong, his eyes full of seriousness and gratitude. If it weren't for Miss Cui's reminder, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark for a long time. I will solve this matter quickly and leave no future trouble.

Cui Rong nodded, then stood up and prepared to leave. "Well, I won't disturb Master Wen from handling his affairs."

As she finished her words, she disappeared quietly behind the wall.

Wen Yinyang withdrew his gaze and buried his head again in the documents on the table.

The next morning, when the sun first rose, Cui Rongrong, carrying spices specially made for the empress dowager, went to the palace with her sister Cui Yunhe.

Before they walked out of the courtyard, they met Cui Min coming towards them.

Cui Min's voice was low and powerful. I was just looking for you. Are you and Yunhe going out?

We were just about to enter the palace to present incense to the Queen Mother for offering to Buddha.

Cui Rongrong frowned slightly, having a bad feeling in her heart. My father was in a hurry to find me right after he came back from the court. Was there something urgent?

Lord Liu, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, has passed away. Cui Min's words were heavy, as if he was talking about the end of an era.

Although Cui Rong had expected this, she still pretended to be surprised. How could this happen?

Last night, when Lord Liu was drinking with his concubine, he accidentally fell when he stood up and died on the spot.

Cui Min sighed softly, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. The incident happened too suddenly, which made people sigh.

This news instantly caused an uproar in the government and the country.

The emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation, but the truth of the matter might not be revealed in a short period of time.

Cui Rong spoke softly, as if she was talking to herself. The minister died suddenly at home. It is indeed difficult to investigate such a thing. People inside and outside the palace must have many suspicions and anxieties in their hearts, right?

Father, you must be careful not to let those with ulterior motives take advantage of you.

Cui Min nodded in agreement, but his brows were still filled with worry. He hoped that something like this would never happen again.

"Who on earth is so bold as to attack an important official of this dynasty?" Cui Yunhe frowned slightly, her tone full of worry as she spoke softly.

"Dad, you must be more careful these days. Why don't we send you some skilled guards? This way, we, your children, can feel more at ease."

After hearing this, Cui Min smiled gently, as if he didn't take it to heart. He comforted her, "Don't worry, I know my limits and won't let anyone take advantage of me. You are going to see the Queen Mother today, so I won't keep you any longer. When Rong Rong comes back, we can discuss this in detail."

"After what happened, Rong, Yun and you should not stay in the palace for too long. I will send a few more capable guards to protect you secretly and ensure your safety." Cui Min's words were firm.

Hearing this, the two sisters nodded obediently, with gratitude in their eyes.

They bowed, then turned around, their skirts brushing against the bluestone road, and walked lightly out of the courtyard.

In the carriage, Cui Yunhe snuggled up to Cui Rongrong, and the carriage was filled with the faint scent of incense burners.
