Lady Hou is reborn and, by pampering her illegitimate son, reclaims her life of wealth and privilege

Du Banli lowered her head, bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Young Master, Prince Duan has been in the palace for the past few days, but he suddenly left the palace last night and has not returned since."

Wei Fengyun's face darkened, and he said angrily, "That bastard Prince Duan dared to lay a hand on our Wei family like this! We must find him!"

The old nanny looked at Wei Fenghui with worry in her eyes: "Young Master, this matter is of great importance. If it causes a great uproar in the palace, it may be detrimental to the reputation of the Wei family. We must act with caution."

Wei Fenghui knew that the old nanny was right, but he couldn't just watch Jiang Xinrui suffer. So he said, "Don't worry, nanny, we will try to keep a low profile. But as long as Prince Duan doesn't hand over the antidote, Miss Jiang's life cannot be guaranteed."

Du Banli raised his head, tears welling in his eyes, and pleaded, "Young masters, please save Miss Jiang. She is a good girl and should not suffer such pain."

Wei Fengyun looked at Du Banli and comforted her, "Du Banli, don't worry, we will do our best to rescue Miss Jiang. Now, take us to Prince Duan's palace. We need to find the antidote ourselves."

Du Banli nodded and led Wei Fenghui and Wei Fengyun through the long palace corridors to the Prince Duan's bedroom.

The palace was incredibly luxurious, but completely empty. Wei Fenghui looked around, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "The Prince of Duan has left the palace, so why is there no one guarding this place?"

Du Banli said in a low voice, "When Prince Duan left, he took all the guards with him, leaving only a small eunuch to guard the gate. The small eunuch said that Prince Duan would return soon."

Wei Fengyun sneered: "Come back? Does he think he can escape forever just because he can escape for a while?"

The three were searching for the antidote when suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the palace. Wei Fenghui looked at Du Banli alertly: "Someone's coming. Is it Prince Duan returning?"

Du Banli shook his head nervously: "It's not Prince Duan, it's other eunuchs in the palace. If they find out we're here, they'll definitely misunderstand."

Wei Fenghui decisively said, "Let's hide first and wait for them to leave before we make our move."

The three men hid in a side hall, listening to the conversation outside. It turned out these eunuchs were there to collect the belongings left behind by Prince Duan. As they collected them, they whispered among themselves, discussing Prince Duan's mysterious disappearance.

"What's wrong with Prince Duan? He left the palace suddenly without saying goodbye. Isn't he afraid of the Emperor's wrath?" a eunuch asked.

"Who knows? Maybe they've gotten into some trouble and have to hide," another eunuch guessed.

Hearing these words, Wei Fenghui became even more determined to find Prince Duan and obtain the antidote.

Finally, the eunuchs left the palace. Wei Fenghui and his two companions acted swiftly, continuing their search for the antidote. In a secret room, they found a box containing various medicines.

Wei Fengyun picked up the box and examined the medicine inside. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Found it! This is the antidote!"

The old nanny and Du Banli also looked excitedly at the antidote in Wei Fengyun's hand, their eyes sparkling with hope.

Wei Fenghui quickly put away the antidote and said to Du Banli, "Take us to find Miss Jiang, and we will detoxify her immediately."

Du Banli led them to Jiang Xinrui's residence. Wei Fenghui opened the antidote and carefully fed it to Jiang Xinrui. After a while, Jiang Xinrui's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her breathing became steady.

Seeing Jiang Xinrui's improvement, Wei Fenghui and Wei Fengyun finally felt relieved. They knew that although the crisis had temporarily passed, as long as Prince Duan remained, the safety of the Wei family and Jiang Xinrui would be constantly threatened.

Wei Fenghui said to Du Banli, "Du Banli, from now on, you must protect Miss Jiang at all times and never let her suffer any harm again."

With tears welling in his eyes, Du Banli nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, young master, I will protect Miss Jiang with my life."

Wei Fengyun suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh, and said excitedly, "That's right, Princess Feixue once gave me some antidote pills, some of which contain the blood of the Poisonous Woman Clan. They should be able to neutralize this aphrodisiac poison."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old woman's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Antidote pill? That's a good thing! If it really has such an effect, then our young lady can be saved."

Wei Fengyun nodded, took out a small jade bottle from his bosom, and handed it to the white-haired nanny: "Nanny, take a look at this."

The white-haired old woman took the jade bottle, examined it carefully, and nodded, saying, "That's right, this is indeed an antidote pill. I didn't expect Young Master Wei to carry such a precious item with him."

At this moment, Du Banli also came over, looking nervously at Wei Fengyun and the white-haired nanny: "Cousin, can this antidote really save Miss?"

Wei Fengyun smiled and patted Du Banli on the shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry, Banli, with this antidote pill, Xinrui will be fine."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Du Banli's eyes, and he quickly said, "Thank you, cousin. Thank you, nanny."

The three of them went to Jiang Xinrui's bedside together. Wei Fengyun carefully handed the antidote pill to Du Banli: "Banli, you feed it to Xinrui."

Du Banli took the antidote pill and gently placed it in Jiang Xinrui's mouth, then fed her some water. After a while, the pain on Jiang Xinrui's face gradually disappeared, and her breathing became steady.

Upon seeing this, the white-haired old woman excitedly said, "It seems that the antidote pill is indeed effective, and the young lady's condition has been brought under control."

Wei Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Jiang Xinrui on the bed, his heart filled with emotion. He turned to the white-haired nanny and said, "Nanny, this time we owe you a great debt. Otherwise, I might never have known about the existence of this antidote pill."

The white-haired old woman smiled and said, "Young Master Wei, you flatter me. This is all I should do."

Just then, Princess Linchuan led the way, accompanied by Consort Chao, Consort Xi, Jiang Huaiyu, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs, heading aggressively towards Rongfu Garden. Her eyes were resolute, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she had already foreseen the impending victory.

Within Rongfu Garden, flowers and trees flourished, and winding paths led to secluded spots. The group passed through the garden and arrived at the main hall. Princess Linchuan stepped inside first, her gaze sharp as she surveyed the surroundings. Consort Chao followed closely behind, a smug look on her face, thinking to herself, "This time, let's see how you deny it!"

Jiang Huaiyu stepped into the hall, her eyes scanning the surroundings, her heart filled with anxiety. She caught a glimpse of Consort Chao's expression and couldn't help but grit her teeth, worried about her niece Jiang Xinrui's safety. Consort Xi, on the other hand, remained calm, as if everything was within her expectations.

Inside the palace, Prince Duan was chatting with a group of palace maids when Princess Linchuan and her entourage suddenly burst in, startling him. Princess Linchuan stared at him coldly and said sternly, "Prince Duan, do you know your crime?"

Prince Duan's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down, pleading, "Your Majesty, I know not what crime I have committed. I beg you to investigate."

Princess Linchuan sneered: "Your affair with Jiang Xinrui has already become widely known. Today, we demand an explanation from you."
