"Master, I have already sent someone to investigate." Hua Yu held a few portraits, "The manager of the Shangshu Mansion said that this man once worked as a clerk in the mansion."

"Heh~~ General Feihu is the boss, they really have a big air." Yu Songling sneered, it turned out that the person Hua Yu mentioned was General Feihu Wang Zhan.

"It turns out that they have been hiding in the Shangshu Mansion, so they can know so much about the affairs in the palace, and they can pass the information to Yaoyue Sect." Cheng Ying said.

"The most dangerous place is always the safest place." Yu Songling said, "It's really a good way for them to do this. It's lucky that we hit the right one this time."

"Master, what do you plan to do with Duke Ding?" Hua Yu asked, "He has already been whipped fifty times, and he still insists that he was wronged."

"Okay, I got it." Yu Songling nodded, "Put it in prison first, I have my own plan."

"Yes." Hua Yu replied, and then said, "The empress asked you to take the little prince to Fengluan Palace for dinner, and it's time to leave."

"Go and bring Rui'er, we'll set off right away, don't keep your mother waiting for too long." Yu Songling said to Chengying.

"But, the Empress didn't let me go." Cheng Ying hesitated, "Will I go so hastily..."

"It doesn't matter." Yu Songling smiled, "After a while, she will also be your mother."

In Fengluan Palace, Empress Anya looked at Chengying with a big belly, and didn't say much, but ordered someone to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.Eating and chatting with Yu Songling's mother and son, Cheng Ying went to have a cold and used temper, so he didn't feel embarrassed eating alone.

"How old is it?" Queen Anya suddenly asked casually.

"Almost six months." Yu Songling replied.

Queen Anya glanced at Chengying's towering belly, and said lightly, "Twins."

This sentence made Yu Songling feel very surprised, and asked strangely: "How does the mother know that it is twins?"

"The body has become like this in six months, it must be twins." Queen Anya said without any surprise.

At this time, Eunuch Gao came in with a soup cup, put it in front of Chengying, and said: "This is the nourishing soup specially prepared by the empress in the imperial dining room. It is very good for those who are pregnant. Take advantage of it Let's drink hot."

"Talk!" Queen Anya scolded lightly, but she was not angry.

"Oh~ look at this old slave's talkative mouth, it should be hit, it should be hit~" Eunuch Gao slapped himself on the mouth lightly while speaking, the action was deliberate and contrived, making everyone present laugh.

Chengying got up, saluted respectfully: "Chengying thanked the emperor..." Before the last words came out, he felt that Yu Songling had stepped on him under the table, and after careful consideration, he hurriedly changed his words, "Chengying thanked the queen mother."

"Yes." Queen Anya responded lightly, "Sit down and eat."

Although it was a casual sentence, a big stone in Yu Songling's heart fell to the ground. He knew that Empress Anya finally accepted Chengying.

After everyone retreated, Queen Anya asked about Duke Ding's case.

"I heard that Dingguo Company Nan has been imprisoned, and you tortured him? Is there such a thing?"

"It is true." Yu Songling replied.

"Ling'er, it's hard to convince the public by torture." Queen Anya said earnestly.

"Sinan's embezzlement of military pay is already well-documented, but if he is not allowed to suffer, he may not admit it so easily."

"Ling'er..." Empress Anya frowned, "Things in this world are often more suspicious when the evidence is solid. Sinan's corruption seems to be well-founded, but have you ever thought about it? Why did they leave such obvious evidence? And why were they suddenly and inexplicably exposed? In my view, Sinan's embezzlement of military pay was probably deliberately framed by someone."

When Empress Anya said it, Cheng Ying secretly admired her. She is a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, but she can know the world's affairs, and she can analyze the world well. It shows that she is very intelligent.But she also secretly regrets that if such a woman with both talent and beauty is born in an ordinary family, she will definitely find a good husband to help her and grow old together.Now guarding this huge palace, enjoying the worship of thousands of people, but wasted to the old age, is it gratifying or sad...

At this moment, Cheng Ying suddenly felt that Empress Anya was a bit pitiful.

"The teachings of the queen mother, I will always remember." Yu Songling said respectfully.

On the way back to the palace, Yu Songling and Cheng Ying were in the carriage.Whispering, but heard a horse whining, the groom hurriedly pulled the rope, and then stopped the carriage with great effort.

"What's going on?" Yu Songling asked with a frown.

"Going back to the fourth prince, there is a woman blocking the way." The groom replied.

"Oh?" Yu Songling opened a corner of the bamboo curtain and looked forward.I saw a young woman kneeling on the road, her face was dusty, as if she hadn't combed for a long time, she was slightly fat, and her appearance was mediocre, she belonged to the kind of person who was absolutely inconspicuous in the crowd.

"I really didn't expect that she would find this place." A guard said to himself.

"Huh? Do you know each other?" Yu Songling asked.

"Back to the fourth prince, she is Ding Guogong's wife Shen Shi. After Ding Guogong was arrested, she followed the prison car all the way to the imperial capital, and took care of Ding Guogong's daily necessities along the way."

"Oh? She's really an infatuated woman." Yu Songling laughed.

"No, we were all moved after seeing it, and couldn't bear to embarrass her. I didn't expect that she would come to block the way to complain when we arrived in the imperial capital."

"Oh~ So that's the case." Yu Songling smiled, "Send someone to drive her away, and we will move on."

"Fourth prince! Fourth prince! The women have been wronged! The women have been wronged..." Seeing the carriage slowly passing by, Shen, who was put on the side of the road, shouted, "Duke Ding was wronged The so-called embezzlement of military pay is simply fabricated out of thin air! The women have evidence, you must return the Duke's innocence!"

"Fourth Prince, do you want to bring over his evidence?" the guard asked.

"No, let's go." Yu Songling said coldly.

"Ms. Shen has been following behind." Cheng Ying said.

"Well, I just want her to follow." Yu Song Ling Xie laughed.

After arriving at the palace, Yu Songling deliberately ignored Shen who was kneeling at the door, and walked to the room to rest.

When it was almost evening, Shen, who was kneeling at the door and already a little unconscious, saw a black figure slowly approaching him, and raised his head with difficulty, only to see a white hand stretched out towards him, holding a A small pot of water.

"Drink some water, or you will collapse." The voice was very calm, just like the cold eyes of the man.

"Thank you, thank you~" Shen Shi, who hadn't eaten for a day, thanked hoarsely, took the water and drank it.Then he asked again, "Is the Fourth Prince willing to see me?"

"He didn't say he wanted to see you."

"Oh..." Shen showed a disappointed look, but still said politely, "Thank you."

"Do you still want to kneel down? I'm afraid the Fourth Prince won't see you today."

"If we don't see each other today, there will be tomorrow. The golden city will make the golden stone open. This matter is related to my husband's life and the reputation of several generations of the Si family. I must not give up like this!" Shen said firmly.

"That's it..." the man said, "Then follow me."

Shen Shi looked at the man in black in surprise, his face was thin, but his body was bloated, especially his abdomen, which bulged like a hillock.

The Shen family once heard Si Nan mention that the fourth prince insisted on making a man from the Baili tribe as the imperial concubine.Looking at the figure of the person in front of him, it seemed that he was really pregnant.

"You, you are... Baili...?" Shen asked very lightly, with some uncertainty.

"Yes." Cheng Ying calmly nodded and admitted.

"It turns out that there are men who can have children." Shen couldn't believe it in her heart, but now she no longer had any doubts, she grabbed Cheng Ying's sleeve, and begged: "Please, take me to see the Fourth Prince! please!"

"Okay, I'll take you to see him."
