Wen Ruyue took out a book from her sleeve and placed it beside her bed.

"Sister, this was sent by Xi Ling'er from the Xi family. I think you'll understand after reading it."

Wen Xingchen looked at the four big words and guessed the content.

Xiling'er, it's still Xiling'er after all.

Wen Ruyue put the book down and asked her:

"You want to rekindle your relationship with Chen Jia Silang now, right?"

"Isn't it obvious? If this princess still doesn't want to get married, who can force her?"

Yes, if she didn’t want to marry Chen Silang, why would she ask for permission in person?

She didn't get what she wanted in her previous life, so after she came back in this life, she couldn't wait to ask the emperor to grant her a marriage.

She was the one who personally went to ask for permission to get married.

Wen Ruyue felt that she was stupid for actually thinking that she would find a way to marry Xiao Sheng.

"Sister, you have a huge influence and guards around you, but you are alone...but the Chen family is so big and powerful, there will always be omissions..."

Wen Xingchen didn't take his threat seriously. She smiled at Wen Ruyue and said, "After Xu Ling'er marries Xiao Yue, will she plan for her cousin or for her own man?"

Wen Ruyue's pupils suddenly dilated as she realized something.

I'm afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion behind Xiao Sheng will soon become Xiao Yue's.

"..."

Wen Ruyue felt mixed emotions.

But Wen Xingchen's next words made it even more difficult for her to bear.

"Wen Ruyue, when I heard you were being betrothed to Xiao Sheng, I thought you would come and beg me to cancel the marriage, but you didn't. You actually still want to marry her. Haha, I still care about our old relationship. After all... for you, I will spare her life and fulfill your true love for her."

This is not what Wen Ruyue wants. If she lives her life over again, how could she miss the friendship that she has no more than a little bit of?

What she wants is to reach the top and become the most noble woman in the world.

However, she couldn't say these words to Wen Xingchen, she couldn't.

She wants to help Xiao Sheng reach that position herself.

The emperor has three sons in total. If the other two die, Xiao Sheng will naturally inherit the throne.

Wen Ruyue didn't stay in the palace for long and went back.

After Wen Ruyue left, Wen Xingchen fell asleep again under the effect of the medicine.

When she woke up again, the virtuous concubine, Xiao Bo's mother, was sitting beside the bed.

She was looking at her with a flattering look on her face, which scared her.

"Xingchen, you're awake."

Wen Xingchen patted his chest to comfort his weak heart.

"My Lady, why are you here?"

"I am worried that you are not eating well and living here, so I came to comfort you."

Condolences? I think you're trying to scare me.

When Wen Xingchen sat up, Concubine Xian flatteringly put a pillow under him so that she could sit more comfortably.

"Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want something to eat or drink?"

Wen Xingchen pointed to the teapot on the table.

"thirsty."

"okay."

The virtuous concubine poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Xingchen, saying as if she was taking care of a child, "It's a little hot, be careful."

Wen Xingchen finished his tea, and Concubine Xian took the cup and asked, "Would you like to drink more?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Don't drink anymore."

"I'm not drinking anymore, Xingchen. I heard that you drove Xiao Bo out of the capital? Did she offend you?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Empress Xianfei, you must have heard wrongly. How could Xingchen do such an unreasonable thing in his condition? Did cousin Xiao do something wrong? Who said I drove him away? Are you being deceived?"

"Who is so shameless as to frame this matter on this princess?"

The virtuous concubine was a little at a loss.

"Isn't it you?"

Wen Xingchen expressed his opinion very seriously.

No.

"But why did he suddenly go to Shanxi?"

"Shanxi? So far away? Why is he going there during Chinese New Year? Did he do something wrong and get punished?"

Xian Fei quickly denied: "Impossible, he has been very well behaved recently. He has also helped the emperor with many things."

Wen Xingchen asked with a puzzled look: "Why is that?"

"Yes, why? The Princess Protector of the Nation asked me to ask you."

It turned out to be Furun.

"So it was the Protector of the Nation Princess who pushed the matter onto... No, since it was the Protector of the Nation Princess who said that, then it must be my cousin Xiao who offended me."

This half-truth made Concubine Xian even more confused.

She was certain that this matter had nothing to do with Wen Xingchen, and that Furun had sent Xiao Bo on a long journey.

"You said it's Chinese New Year, what can't wait?"

Wen Xingchen: Humph, who made him so annoying?

Wen Xingchen echoed Concubine Xian's complaint, "Yes, it's such a special time. How can Cousin Xiao go out at this time? I was thinking of having my cousin see me off on my wedding day. What should I do?"

Now, Concubine Xian was 100% sure that it had nothing to do with Wen Xingchen.

The virtuous concubine didn't stay here for long before she left again.

Wen Xingchen guessed that she must have gone to look for Furun.

Not long after, Furun came back.

She looked at Wen Xingchen's weak appearance and did not blame her. Instead, she asked the imperial physician to take her pulse with concern.

I felt relieved only when I was sure that it was nothing serious.

"I will take care of Concubine Xian's situation and won't let her bother you."

Wen Xingchen didn't care.

"My illness is almost over, I'd better leave the palace." In the palace, I just eat and sleep, it's better to go back.

"I'm well-fed in the palace, why would I leave?"

"If Chen Silang doesn't get any news from me, he should be worried."

Furun: promising.

Furun still insisted that she stay in the palace for a few days before letting her go back.

Ningyuan Houfu

As soon as Wen Xingchen arrived home, he was faced with the angry glares of Ningyuan Marquis and the crying of Xu.

Wen Xingchen felt inexplicably annoyed, so she waved her hand and asked them to leave.

This casual waving of his hand, as if treating a servant, further angered Ning Yuanhou.

"You are really rebellious. I am your father."

Wen Xingchen thought to himself: You can also not be.

"Princess Huayang, you said you handled this matter, but what will happen to your sister in the future? She was originally the concubine of the Prince of Jin, but now that the Prince of Jin has lost his title, your sister will only be the prince's concubine in the future. How can your father hold his head up when he goes out?"

Wen Xingchen was about to refute when Tai Jinhua, who had been living in the mansion, heard that Wen Xingchen had returned and came out to greet him happily.

And she happened to hear Xu's crying.

"What's wrong with the prince's concubine? If you don't want her, you can go to the palace and ask for permission to cancel the engagement. Why are you making things difficult for the princess now? It's not like the princess stripped him of his title."

"Humph, you all bully the weak and fear the strong. You don't dare to come to the palace to ask for an explanation, so you can only bully the weak princess?"

"You are still a marquis. I feel ashamed for you."

"Also, the princess is still ill. You're not worried about her safety, but only about the future of a concubine's daughter? You really have no respect for hierarchy..."

Ningyuan Hou Wen Changsheng's face turned red after hearing what Tai Jinhua said, but he couldn't refute it.
