The peaceful days where the two were inseparable from Mengmeng did not last long. After all, there was still constant war on the border.

Rong Chengjin was still estimating the date when his younger sister would give birth, thinking about what gifts he should give when the time came, but at this moment, news suddenly came from the border, saying that Zhao Suiyang had been captured.

Just hearing this sentence, Rong Chengjin felt a shudder running down her spine. After all, it was a friendship they grew up with, so she was instinctively worried about this elder brother and brother-in-law.

However, the following news made her wish that Zhao Suiyang would be killed directly in the enemy camp.

Zhao Suiyang was taken back by Princess Beili, who accompanied the war, because he was extremely fair and handsome, with the appearance of an elegant Confucian general, but he was accidentally taken by the always tough Princess Jiangling.

The folk customs in the south are quite open, not to mention the regime created by a bunch of bandits and mobs in the north. This princess is far less delicate than the one in the south. , directly pulled this gentle and handsome little captive into her tent.

Princess Jiangling is the only sister of the same mother of the Lord of Beili, and she is a whole round younger than him. She is like half a daughter, and has always been extremely favored. The Lord of Beili is very obedient to her. Zhao Suiyang, who was too handsome, went to tease her elder brother, and this young general from the enemy country transformed into Bei Li's future son-in-law.

Zhao Suiyang is more greedy than Rong Chengjin imagined, with the same glory and wealth in front of him, he really just left behind his wife, children and parents in the south, and agreed to this nonsense marriage with half push and half .

After Rong Chengjin heard the news, she frowned deeply. Just as she was about to scold Zhao Suiyang, she suddenly thought of her sister. She said badly to herself, and wanted to drive to Huaiqinghou's mansion .

However, it was naturally impossible for her to be the first to get the news. His Majesty's imperial decree had already come down.

The North and the South have been enemies for a hundred years, and in the last 20 years, they have entered a state of deadly battle. Today you rob my city, and tomorrow I will occupy your territory. The hatred for each other has already been conveyed to every common people.

But now, Zhao Suiyang dared to surrender to Beili, and the Huaiqinghou Mansion, which was left behind by him, naturally had to accept the thunderous wrath from the emperor.

The father of Princess Nanping is a famous general. He made a lot of contributions in the days of fighting against Beili decades ago. Maybe he is not as powerful as the Nanqi God of War who appeared later, but his achievements are equal to the God of War. cannot be ignored.

The daughter of a famous general gave birth to a traitor son. The princess of Nanping, who had been proud for more than forty years, could not bear the humiliation. Long before the imperial edict was issued, she had already killed herself with a single knife, fulfilling her last decency.

Seeing this, her husband, Marquis Huaiqing, also felt that he was incapable of teaching his son. After he kowtowed three times in front of the ancestors of the Zhao family, he followed his beloved wife before the officers and soldiers rushed in. And went.

The other servants of the Marquis of Huaiqing's mansion, together with the relatives of the Zhao family, were all taken into the government mansion, waiting for further treatment.

Rong Chengjin, who was kept in the greenhouse, suddenly heard about this, and immediately passed out as soon as it was dark before his eyes. Lu Lanchen, who quickly caught her, was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

Seeing the maids coming in and out, Lu Lanchen knew that Rong Chengjin was worried about her younger sister, and couldn't help feeling anxious for her. However, at this moment, the son and wife of Zuodu Yushi's family suddenly came to the palace.

Lu Lanchen thought that her elder brother was going to disturb her again, so she couldn't help sighing. However, just as she was about to enter the house, in the blink of an eye, she suddenly thought that the only daughter of the Zhao family who was not implicated, Didn't she just married her elder brother just a few years ago?

Presumably she was thinking too much, and they just came here to ask them for help.

Daqi's law is not as sinful as a married woman. Since the Yu family did not immediately disown Zhao Wanyue, Zhao Wanyue does not have to be implicated. She has always been the young wife of the Yu family, but what Lu Lanchen did not expect was that her The elder brother would accompany his wife to run for her natal family.

Lu Lanchen sighed, and after telling Sister Rou Xing to take good care of the princess, she went to meet Zhao Wanyue who had come to look for Rong Chengjin.

Zhao Wanyue's husband, Yu Limu, had already gone to see the prince, and she was determined to do both, so she hurried over and begged her cousin to help her too.

When she saw that it was Lu Lanchen who came out, the girl who had just passed by couldn't help being stunned, but Zhao Wanyue already knew from her husband that this was his sister who didn't want to go home, and also knew her importance to Rong Chengjin.

So, Zhao Wanyue stepped forward and asked Lu Lanchen, "Sister, is cousin there? Would she like to see me? Please let me see her."

Lu Lanchen said softly: "I understand Ma'am's anxiety at the moment, but the princess passed out after hearing the news, and she hasn't woken up yet."

Hearing what Lu Lanchen said, Zhao Wanyue's eyes flushed with anxiety, "Sister, when Cousin Jin wakes up, you can tell my cousin for me, I beg her, beg her to save my sister-in-law, save Xuan Cousin, she is Cousin Jin's own younger sister, she is the honorable Princess Le'an, as long as Cousin Jin and the prince are willing to ask His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely be merciful, and my cousins ​​and cousins, I just beg, just beg It’s good if I can keep a few, but I can’t, I dare not complain, and I know I shouldn’t come here. I’ve always been a person who doesn’t want to trouble others, but that’s my family, and my husband’s family and I, And I have to avoid suspicion, if Li Mu doesn't blame me for dragging him down, and can help me run around, I'm already very satisfied..."

Lu Lanchen was a little dazed. She naturally knew that Zhao Wanyue came here to rely on the relationship of Prince Rui's Mansion to protect the members of the Zhao family and Rong Chengxuan's mother and son, but she didn't expect that Zhao Wanyue's words were full of tolerance at this time. Cheng Xuan, who is full of cousins, seems to have completely forgotten about her nephew, the last seedling of her natal family.

Seeing Lu Lanchen in a daze, Zhao Wanyue also understood what Lu Lanchen was thinking at this moment, Zhao Wanyue wiped away her tears, then laughed at herself and said, "I know, you all think I hate her, and I wish she would die sooner, That's right, I really hate her, but I don't want her to die, I don't want anyone to die, do you understand? I'd rather she live as an eyesore and keep me hating her, than let her die, Who told, who told her to be my cousin Xuan who I have hated for so many years..."

Speaking of this, she sobbed, and said again: "And her child... Zhao Suiyang is a traitor. He is a traitor who has shamed the ancestors. His child will not survive no matter what. Yes, I won't be stupid anymore, I understand, I dare not force..."

Don't dare to force a word, how sad and helpless this pampered girl who is still too young said, but in just a few hours, Zhao Wanyue, who has always been ignorant, has finally grown a lot.

However, the price of growth is so cruel.

Come to think of it, even if Rong Chengjin, who had a lot of complaints about her, saw her, he probably only wished that she would always be the daughter of the Hou family who was spoiled too much.

"Sister, would you like to tell my cousin for me?"

Zhao Wanyue was in tears, her eyes full of expectation.

Looking at such a pair of eyes, Lu Lanchen probably couldn't utter the words of rejection no matter what. Of course, she had no intention of refusing. Her mother entered the teaching workshop because of her father's crime, half of her life was miserable, and The girl's relatives and female relatives in front of her probably ended up in a lowly family, how could she bear it.

But she is still hesitating, because she doesn't think that Rong Chengjin and Rui Wang can make any changes, she is too afraid that the person in front of her will be more hopeful and more disappointed.

Lu Lanchen sighed and was about to speak when a very gentle and weak voice suddenly came from the door.

"Wan Yue, don't worry, my cousin will definitely bring Ah Xuan back, and also your nephew."

Hearing this very familiar voice, Zhao Wanyue, who had had a feud with Rong Chengjin for many years due to some confusion in the past, thought that the two of them would never have a chance to talk properly in this life, felt sour, and turned around abruptly. Rushed into the arms of cousin Jin whom she had deeply resented, and cried loudly.

"Cousin Jin, Cousin Jin, I'm so scared, I'm really scared, I just don't have a father, I don't have a mother, and I don't have any brothers and sisters from the Zhao family. Oh, Cousin Jin, it hurts, it hurts..."

Seeing this little cousin like this, Rong Chengjin gently patted Zhao Wanyue's back, but couldn't utter a word of comfort. At such a moment, perhaps, it would be best not to say anything at all. of.

After all, Rong Chengjin had never experienced it, and she couldn't understand Zhao Wanyue's pain. Since she couldn't empathize with it, no matter what she said, it was just scratching the surface.

……

After crying in her cousin's arms, Zhao Wanyue, who was heartbroken, still followed her husband and bid farewell to them.

And Rong Chengjin couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion when he saw his little cousin gradually leaving.

The words she promised Zhao Wanyue just now on impulse were not just words.

Rong Chengxuan is her own sister who grew up with her, and the child in Rong Chengxuan's womb is also her own nephew, she has to help this no matter what.

And her father, presumably, was the same, he was his own daughter and his own grandson, how could he not keep them safe?

Even though he knew that the crime of treason was serious, King Rui still went to face the saint for his daughter, and Princess Cui naturally handed over a sign to the palace immediately, begging to see Her Royal Highness, and then begged the queen to try her best to persuade her, Try hard to keep this stepdaughter of yours.

Afterwards, Rong Chengshu, who had been living in Prince Rui's Mansion for a while, also immediately chose to return to the palace, intending to help.

And Rong Chengjin is not idle, she understands very well, just like what Zhao Wanyue said before, her little sister can probably save her life. Married is also the emperor's cousin, but the traitor's child in her womb is undoubtedly destined to die...

Rong Chengjin, who was burning with anxiety, thought about this, and after walking around the room for a long time, made a silent decision.
