Wei Yingning was extremely anxious and hurried from Chuxiu Palace to Changchun Palace.

Along the way, she prayed secretly in her heart: I hope everything is still in time!

She knew very well that Concubine Gao was ruthless. If she knew some of Yingluo's secrets or attracted her attention, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Wei Yingning finally arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, her tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Because it happened that at this moment, Wei Yingluo was about to go to the prince's residence to deliver medicated food to the second prince.

Seeing her sister suddenly appear, Wei Yingluo couldn't help but wonder: "Sister, why are you here in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

Wei Yingluo knew clearly that with her sister's always cautious personality, she would never come to Changchun Palace for no reason unless there was an emergency.

Sure enough, Wei Yingning pulled Wei Yingluo to a corner and spoke in a low voice.

"Yingluo, Concubine Gao just asked me about you. Have you offended her recently? I have reminded you before that staying in Changchun Palace to work is full of dangers. In this Forbidden City, countless eyes are staring at the Empress..."

Wei Yingning's words were full of worry and anxiety, but before she could finish her words, she was gently interrupted by Wei Yingluo.

Wei Yingluo patted Wei Yingning's hand and comforted her, "Sister, you see I am safe and sound now, right? Don't worry, I know what to do. But you, you just went to Chuxiu Palace, are you okay?"

Wei Yingluo stared at her sister with worry in her heart. After a careful examination, she confirmed that there were no obvious injuries on her body, and she felt a little relieved.

"Fortunately, the Imperial Concubine treats me fairly well, so you don't need to worry too much.

But... what I'm worried about is that if our sisterly relationship is discovered, and you are in Changchun Palace, confronting the Imperial Concubine everywhere, I'm afraid that the Imperial Concubine will use me as a hostage to threaten you in the future.

By then, you don’t have to worry about my safety.” Wei Yingning’s brows revealed deep worry.

"Sister, you are my biological sister, how can I ignore you? Then I will go and beg the Queen to transfer you to Changchun Palace. In this way, I can also guard you day and night and avoid the murderous hands of Concubine Gao."

When Wei Yingluo heard what her sister said, she became extremely anxious.

She knew very well that if she could not be with her sister all the time, her sister would be vulnerable to Concubine Gao's conspiracy.

So he turned around and walked towards the inner hall of Changchun Palace.

Seeing this, Wei Yingning hurriedly reached out to hold Wei Yingluo and comforted her.

"Yingluo, don't worry. Listen to me. I have done a favor to Concubine Gao. I think she will never harm me easily. The reason why I told you this in advance is just to let you be on guard. No matter what happens in the future, you don't have to worry about my safety."

Wei Yingning looked at Wei Yingluo with gentle eyes, and picked up a handkerchief to gently wipe away the sweat on her forehead.

"Sister, then please don't lie to me." Wei Yingluo held Wei Yingning's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She couldn't help but think of her previous life, when her sister died at a young age in the deep palace, and she was powerless to do anything and could only watch the tragedy happen.

Thinking of this, Wei Yingluo could no longer control her emotions and began to sob softly.

"Okay, when has your sister ever lied to you? Stop crying. It won't look good if your eyes get swollen from crying."

Wei Yingning gently wiped away the tears from Wei Yingluo's eyes and comforted her softly.

However, Wei Yingluo's worries did not ease at all.

"Also, Yingluo, please don't transfer me to Changchun Palace. I really don't want to be involved in the endless fighting among the concubines in the harem. You should also be more careful in Changchun Palace, and don't be too conspicuous in anything you do."

Wei Yingning's tone was extremely firm, as if she had already made up her mind.

Wei Yingluo's heart tightened. She understood her sister's worries, but she was also aware of the responsibilities she shouldered.

She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "Sister, I understand. But if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me immediately!"

Despite this, Wei Yingluo was still uneasy.

She thought to herself that it seemed that she could only ask Qingyun to help keep an eye on her sister's condition.

If my sister is summoned away by Concubine Gao, I must let Qingyun inform me in time.

Wei Yingning gently stroked Wei Yingluo's hair, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Okay, don't worry, Yingluo. I'll go back to the embroidery workshop now. You should also go to the prince's residence as soon as possible."

Before she finished her words, she turned around and left resolutely, her steps very firm.

Looking at her sister's back as she walked away, Wei Yingluo felt mixed emotions.

She knew that there would be countless difficulties and obstacles waiting for the two sisters ahead, but in order to protect each other, they must move forward bravely...

Wei Yingluo looked at her sister's back as she walked away and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

However, a firm belief surged in her heart - because she successfully rescued the second prince, she became more confident in her plan to protect her sister.

In the next half month, Wei Yingluo would go to the prince's residence early every day to take care of and nurture the second prince's health wholeheartedly.

In fact, the Second Prince had already fully recovered, but in order to hide it from everyone in the palace, he had to continue pretending to be sick.

Time flies, and half a month passes in a flash.

At this time, a rumor quietly spread in the harem: It is said that anyone who has been poisoned by the thunder god vine will lose their fertility forever.

The rumor spread quickly throughout the Forbidden City like a gust of wind.

Be it the high-ranking concubines or the humble ants in the Xinzheku, all of them knew the news.

Some even asserted that the Queen's legitimate son was destined to have no chance of becoming emperor.

This rumor eventually reached the ears of the second prince.

However, facing the whispers and strange looks from people around him, Yonglian's heart did not even feel a ripple.

On the contrary, he secretly thanked God that he had experienced the poisoning incident, and now all this has become his best cover.

With such a "talisman", he was finally able to break free from the shackles and freely pursue the life that truly belonged to him.

"Don't worry about what others say, just be yourself."

Yong Lian raised her head and looked at Fu Heng who was standing in front of her with a serious expression, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, Wei Yingluo was standing quietly by the side, listening to their conversation.

She deeply agreed with what Fu Heng said and couldn't help but nod slightly to show her approval.

Because she knows very well how rare and precious it is to remain true to oneself in this complex Forbidden City.

Ever since the Second Prince "fell ill", there have been two busy figures in the Prince's Residence in the Forbidden City: one is Wei Yingluo, and the other is Fu Heng.

Wei Yingluo was kindhearted and was especially caring towards the Second Prince. As the Queen was busy with official duties, she often visited the Prince's residence, taking care of the Second Prince with all her heart and soul, managing the residence and keeping it in good order.

As for Fu Heng, perhaps because he was the second prince's uncle, he also frequently traveled between the princes' residences.

As time went by, the two met more and more often, and became more and more familiar with each other.

At first, they simply nodded in agreement, but as time went on, their interactions increased.

Every time they met, Fu Heng would be unconsciously attracted by Wei Yingluo's unique temperament.

Fu Heng found that Wei Yingluo was kind-hearted, very intelligent, and had particularly insightful views and opinions on many things.

Her every smile and frown was as warm as the spring breeze; her every word and action revealed her intelligence and courage. These qualities were like rays of light, illuminating the softest corner of Fu Heng's heart.

Every word Wei Yingluo said was deeply imprinted in Fu Heng's heart, making him unable to forget.

For Wei Yingluo, Fu Heng was no ordinary man. He was handsome, elegant, talented, and skilled in martial arts. Whether it was his calmness and decisiveness in handling affairs or his modesty and courtesy towards others, Wei Yingluo respected him.

Although Wei Yingluo knew in her heart that perhaps she should not have anything to do with Fu Heng anymore as it might hurt him, her heart still sank inexplicably.

In this way, the two hearts moved closer and closer without realizing it. They began to look forward to every encounter and enjoy the time spent with each other.

Although no one said it out loud, the tacit understanding had already flowed between the two people's hearts.

In this treacherous Forbidden City, it was like a clear stream, bringing endless comfort and warmth to each other.

And this relationship is as beautiful and gorgeous as the flowers blooming in spring.
