"I didn't bring it back to the palace, I put it in a separate courtyard."

"Ziqi, accompany me to meet him tonight and bring your wife with you." The prince's voice became even colder, with a kind of calmness before a volcano erupts.

"Yes."

Shangguan Ziqi returned to Qiyayuan and put away the coldness on his face. He played with the children with a smile.

All the children are growing up well.

Looking at his wife again, after giving birth, she has become much rounder and more gentle than before. She always makes him look at her with disbelief.

Yu Yuanzheng sat next to the children and embroidered a bellyband.

One for each of the children, and she hasn't finished embroidering even one yet.

I can never find the time.

Yu Yuanzheng raised her head and glanced at Shangguan Ziqi.

The two of them live together every day and are very familiar with each other.

At one glance, she could tell that he was worried.

"what happened?"

Shangguan Ziqi said nothing, but took the embroidery from her hand.

He held her hand, then pushed the wheelchair into their bedroom with one hand and closed the door.

Before Yu Yuanzheng could stand firmly, Shangguan Ziqi stood up from the wheelchair and hugged Yu Yuanzheng in his arms.

That heavy mood was conveyed more directly to Yu Yuanzheng.

"What happened?" Yu Yuanzheng's heart was also lifted up.

"Madam, the two personal maids that the Second Madam brought into the palace from her natal family have been found."

"Oh? Finally found it. It's been too long, hasn't it?" Yu Yuanzheng felt that the prince's efficiency was a bit low. It had been so long.

She didn't expect that this happened in ancient times, and there was no ID card information, nor any records of where she had entered or left.

It all depends on finding out bit by bit from the source, and then piecing together the information based on the impressions left by the old people in the mansion, and then going out of the mansion to look for the human traffickers in Beijing decades ago. It's really too difficult to get some information and go out so far to look for them.

It's a blessing to be able to find it.

"Uncle Anqi has never been late for a day. It's too far."

"Oh, so those two have already left the capital?"

"Yes. And very far away."

Then Shangguan Ziqi repeated Anqi's words exactly as they were said.

"I told you, concubines, few of them are good. How could there be a concubine who doesn't want to be promoted? She just wanted to be the mistress of the palace, so she tried to harm the old princess."

"Would you please come with me to see those two maids tonight?" Shangguan Ziqi asked with some pleading tone.

"Okay, but I may not be able to cure their throats."

"Yeah, it's okay, let's go check it out first."

That night when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, several dark shadows flew out from Qiyayuan.

He left the palace from a corner.

Yu Yuanzheng was taken away by Shangguan Ziqi.

She felt so magical. She didn't expect Shangguan Ziqi's lightness skills were so good that he could even carry her over the wall.

He walked a long way before getting on a carriage that had been waiting there for a long time.

After walking for about three quarters of an hour, we finally arrived at a secluded small courtyard.

Hey, why is it her dowry courtyard again?

Go in.

The prince had already been waiting in the yard.

It seems that this place is remote enough to be chosen by the father and son.

Everyone knows too well about the palace's assets.

The prince said nothing and led the two of them directly into the main hall. The other secret guards were on alert.

There were two lamps burning in the hall.

The two old women huddled together in a corner.

Yu Yuanzheng saw that their clothes were very clean, and the secret guards must have bought them new clothes.

But the two of them looked like they had experienced countless hardships.

He was dark and thin, his hair was completely white, his face was covered with countless wrinkles, and his back was hunched. He looked like a dying man in his seventies or eighties.

It's a shame they're still alive.

She could have married a servant in the palace. Although she would have been a servant, at least she would have lived a life without worries. The servants in the Rong Palace lived much better than many ordinary people.

When the two men saw the prince coming in, they were so scared that they kept shrinking towards the corner, but they were already against the wall and had nowhere to retreat.

His body was shaking constantly, and his frightened expression was clearly visible.

The prince had no memory of these two people at all. He was too young at that time and had no memory of them at all.

Even if he remembered, he wouldn't be able to recognize these two people because they had changed so much.

The prince stepped forward and sat directly on the main seat.

An Yi pushed the two old women to the middle.

They were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

It has been so many years since they last saw such an imposing man.

"You were called Cuiliu and Chunyan, right?" the prince asked with a stern expression.

"This is Prince Rong from Prince Rong's Mansion. When the prince asks you questions, you just need to nod or shake your head."

An Qi brought them both back, and the two were quite familiar with An Qi.

On the way back, the man provided them with food and drink and took good care of them. He had no intention of harming them.

As soon as they met, the two knew that it was the palace that came. After so many years, they finally showed up.

But why is Prince Rong so young?

They immediately understood that the old prince had died and his son had inherited the throne.

But no one knows which prince will inherit the throne.

Before they left the palace, the second old lady had already given birth to the second master.

They had been sent away before the third old lady entered the mansion, so they didn't know.

They dare not speak carelessly.

The two old women did not move for a long time, and the prince's face became even colder.

"When the prince asks questions, answer honestly. The prince will not do anything to you, he just wants to know some things." An Qi added.

The prince asked the same question again.

The two of them nodded.

"Were you poisoned and silenced by Jiang Qingqing back then?" the prince asked again.

One of them nodded and the other shook his head.

The prince doesn't understand this. One is right and the other is wrong.

But the two of them couldn't speak, they could only nod and shake their heads.

The prince felt so powerless. He found a strong witness, but he couldn't speak. Even if he knew the truth from the nodding and shaking of the witness's head, he couldn't directly convict the second old lady.

The second old lady would definitely say that he just picked two complete strangers to frame her.

After all, she was the old prince's concubine, a concubine at that, the old princess's biological sister, and she had given birth to two children for the old prince.

It is impossible to convict her so easily based on the nodding and shaking of two mutes.

The faces of the two people had also changed a lot. The second old lady insisted that she didn't recognize them, which was certain.

"Father, let your daughter-in-law ask." Seeing the prince's frosty face, Yu Yuanzheng didn't know when she could get the answer.

Yu Yuanzheng is a woman, so she won’t scare the two old women too much and is easy to communicate with.

The prince nodded.

"Two elders, I know you've suffered a lot since leaving the palace, and you're lucky to be alive.

You could have lived a peaceful life in the palace, but because you followed the wrong master, you were sent away after helping him complete a task, and you were even poisoned and sold out. Don't you hate or resent such a master?"

Yu Yuanzheng patiently and kindly persuaded.

She used these words to instill in them a strong hatred.

She estimated that after so many years, the two of them had been worn down by life and had lost any desire to resist.

After Yu Yuanzheng finished speaking, the two old women's cloudy eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Because they cannot speak, I don’t know how much they have cried and how many beatings and scoldings they have suffered over the years.

Yu Yuanzheng did not continue to disturb them, but let them cry enough.

Silent crying is even more heartbreaking.

But thinking that these two people must have been accomplices of the second old lady, Yu Yuanzheng put away her sympathy.

This person must always pay the price for his actions.

Waited for a while.

Yu Yuanzheng continued to ask.

"Did you two help Concubine Qing in the palace to harm the princess back then?"
