After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Shen Changle helped him get off the carriage.

She arranged for him to live next to her bedroom.

I personally fed him medicine and bandaged his wounds.

I also had dinner with him.

I coaxed him to sleep before leaving.

When I came out of the bedroom, it was completely dark.

She sighed and asked Qingying who was waiting outside the door.

"Has White Pheasant returned?"

Qingying stepped forward upon hearing the voice and replied respectfully:

"Your Highness, Baizhi has returned."

"Is Lu Mingchao still alive?"

Hearing this, Qingying was stunned for a moment.

He raised his eyes quietly and peeked at Shen Changle's expression.

She doesn't understand...

Is Your Highness really so cruel to General Lu?

Your Highness wasn't...

She saw Shen Changle waiting for her answer with a calm expression, without any emotion in his eyes.

She quickly lowered her head and nodded in reply:

"Yes, General Lu is fine, I just heard that..."

"what?"

She hesitated, and when she urged her, she continued.

"I heard that General Lu was carried back to the palace in a coma. After the palace doctor gave him acupuncture and woke him up, he has been vomiting non-stop..."

"Humph... trash."

She scoffed slightly.

Take a step forward.

There was no sign of heartache in his words or actions.

On the contrary... there seems to be a hint of gloating.

Qingying didn't quite understand.

But I didn't dare ask more.

He just lowered his head and followed quickly.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has sent people to look for you twice. Would you like to go to the Imperial Study first?"

Shen Changle paused.

I have doubts in my heart.

My brother is looking for her at this time...

I guess he also heard about her atrocities in the dungeon.

But, he actually looked for her twice?

So urgent...

Could it be that the news that she severely punished Lu Mingchao in the dungeon has spread?

"Do you know what it is?"

Qingying lowered her head even lower.

He hesitated and stammered.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Yes... I heard that the Censorate submitted more than a dozen memorials, impeaching the princess for indiscriminately punishing traitors and corrupt officials and abusing private punishment..."

Ah……

She had only been back in the palace for less than two hours, and the Censorate had already submitted more than a dozen memorials?

Lu Mingchao was locked up in the well by her and then released. How could he have had time to spread the news?

and so……

Who is the person who instigated officials to lodge impeachment petitions and wanted to make things worse?

Queen Mother? Prime Minister? Or...

Imperial uncle?

Her deep eyes were like a bottomless black pool.

There is an unknown undercurrent of danger...

A moment of silence.

She smoothed her wide sleeves and took a deep breath.

As if he had made some decision.

Looking back, he ordered:

"My brother is not in a hurry. Please go and prepare some medicinal herbs for me first..."

Since we don't know who is trying to cause trouble.

Then just solve it from the root.

Her eyes gradually cleared, and she raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Ci'an's bedroom.

Lower your voice.

"If the prince consort comes looking for me, tell him I've gone to bed. Don't tell him I went to the Wanshou Palace."

"Yes."

Qingying saw that she was wearing thin clothes and asked worriedly:

"Your Highness, it's cold at night. Can I arrange a carriage for you?"

"No need. Go and prepare the herbs quickly. Make sure they are ready before I return."

Shen Changle knew it clearly.

When the emperor's brother came to see her, he just scolded her and pretended to be nice.

This would be fine in the past.

But now that today's incident has been exposed, the person behind the scenes will definitely not let it go.

He wanted to use this to silence the court officials.

I'm afraid it won't work.

However, Lu Mingchao is the nephew of the Empress Dowager.

As long as she could gain the Queen Mother's forgiveness, the court officials would no longer have the right to say anything more.

So Shen Changle walked all the way to the gate of Wanshou Palace.

As she expected.

The palace gates are closed.

She was mentally prepared and knelt on her knees outside the palace gate.

Request to see the Queen Mother.

she thinks……

The Empress Dowager is not her and her brother's biological mother.

We must always maintain superficial harmony with our royal brother and leave room for each other.

Before the Queen Mother got angry, she came over to ask for punishment.

It gave the lonely Empress Dowager enough face.

I think, for the sake of her brother, she won't be too embarrassed...

Unfortunately, she missed one thing -

I forgot that Shen Changning is a complete sister-con.

When he heard that his imperial sister was kneeling outside the Wanshou Palace and asking for punishment, he no longer cared about anything else.

All the officials and doctors in the room were thrown into the imperial study.

He went straight to the gate of Wanshou Palace.

I saw a frail figure kneeling on the stone road, shoulders trembling and coughing continuously.

He could no longer maintain his sanity.

He strode forward and placed the cloak on her shoulders.

He half-forced the person to stand up.

She angrily scolded Zi Yuan who was kneeling behind her:

"Is this how you serve the princess? It's so cold at night, why don't you even give her a cloak?

Why did you leave the princess kneeling outside the palace gate without the Queen Mother? Why didn't you go to the Imperial Study and report this?"

Shen Changle was invaded by a cold and developed a high fever.

But seeing him scolding Ziyuan, he still spoke up for her:

"Brother, don't blame her. It was all my idea... cough cough..."

Shen Changning frowned.

Seeing her coughing all the time, I felt so sad.

"Okay, go back quickly and remember to ask the imperial physician to see you."

I wanted to blame her, but what came out was concern.

"Don't walk anymore when you go back. Take my carriage back to the palace."

Shen Changle was unwilling to give in.

If I can't see the Queen Mother, all the punishment I've suffered today will be in vain.

"Brother, I still have something to say to Mother..."

Shen Changning sighed helplessly.

"I know what you're going to say. You go back first, and I'll go see the Queen Mother myself. Is that okay?"

"But, ahem... If my brother were to tell the emperor, the Censorate would accuse him of being overly partial and doting on me, causing me to become lawless..."

She lowered her head and muttered softly.

Shen Changning felt angry and helpless.

He snorted and tilted his head.

"But they're not wrong."

"Brother Royal!!"

Shen Changle was so angry that his face turned red.

He bit his lips and continued to cough.

Shen Changning looked distressed.

Coaxing and persuading.

"Alright, go back quickly. My brother will help you with this matter. Go ahead..."

Shen Changle knew that since her brother was here, she would definitely not be able to see the empress dowager today.

He sighed helplessly.

She loosened her fists that were gripping her skirt.

sigh……

Alas, sometimes it is quite distressing that the emperor treats her too well.

It will really disrupt her plans...

He returned to the palace in a daze.

The cold and high fever made her fall on the couch and fall asleep as soon as she returned.

Completely unaware of what happened to Jiang Ci'an——

Not long after Shen Changle left, Shen Tingyu came to Changle Palace.

After guarding all the maids, he went straight to Jiang Ci'an's bedroom.

Talk to him privately:

"Do you know where Changle went?"

Jiang Ci'an sat against the head of the bed, silent.

He knew why Shen Tingyu came.

He just didn't want to get what he wanted.

I don’t want to... leave Shen Changle.

Seeing that Jiang Ci'an didn't respond, Shen Tingyu continued:

"Changle severely punished Lu Mingchao to help you vent your anger. Now, all the officials have impeached him and submitted a petition requesting that this evil villain who harmed the country be severely punished."

Ah……

That's what I said.

The evil bandit who brought disaster to the country...

The evil concubine who brought disaster to the country?

They actually look up to him!

Shen Tingyu ignored the mockery in his eyes and continued:

"Changle is kneeling at the gate of Wanshou Palace to ask for punishment and to see the Queen Mother in order to protect you."

Jiang Ci'an couldn't laugh anymore.

He should have thought of it earlier!

This silly girl...

For him, I can do anything!
