Chapter 314 Repayment

The weather in August was not cold, but the Queen and Cao Muxue felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave, and the cold penetrated their bones.

The rusty door closed again, and Xie Wanruo left the cold palace without looking back.

Yu Cheng woke up and saw that Xie Wanruo was not in the room. His cough attracted Yingrong. "Your Highness.

" Yingrong knelt in front of the bed to comfort Yu Cheng. After Yu Cheng stopped coughing, he asked in a hollow voice: "Where is Wanruo?" Yingrong said: "The Queen went to thank Concubine Yu Gui." This was what Xie Wanruo said before she left. When Xie Wanruo took Yingyue away, Yingyue held a thank-you gift in her hand, and she must be going to Zhongling Palace. Yu Cheng frowned in confusion: "Why does Wanruo want to thank Concubine Yu?" In Yu Cheng's impression, Xie Wanruo has always lived in seclusion. Apart from the necessary greetings, she rarely leaves the East Palace and has no friendship with Concubine Yu. Why does she want to thank her for no reason? Yingrong was shocked and felt that she had said something wrong. She evaded and stammered: "No...nothing, Your Highness, do you want to drink some water?" Seeing her like this, Yu Cheng knew that there must be something behind it. His eyes were cold and he said: "Speak." Although Yu Cheng was injured, the prince's majesty was still there. Yingrong shuddered and had to report truthfully. Yu Cheng was shocked to hear that the queen and Cao Muxue brought the guards to break into the courtyard and kill Xie Wanruo and her son. "Your Highness, I don't know how dangerous it was at that time. The guards' knives were about to be put on Your Majesty's neck. Fortunately, Concubine Yu Gui arrived in time, otherwise Your Majesty would...would..." Yingrong couldn't continue, and could only choke and cry. After crying for a while, Yingrong said again: "That day, the courtyard was full of corpses and blood. Your Majesty grew up in a deep palace and had never seen such a bloody and terrible scene. She was trembling with fear..." Yu Cheng couldn't help but think of Xie Wanruo's nightmare last night, and the sentence 'No, Your Highness, save me...'. He thought Xie Wanruo just had a nightmare, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Yu Cheng didn't understand. Cao Muxue was jealous and wanted to deal with Xie Wanruo, but why did the queen do this? Yu Cheng thought of the assassination at Tianji Mountain. He always thought that the queen was kept in the dark and knew nothing about it. Now it seems that the queen clearly knows everything, and even colluded with Cao Qian. This realization made Yu Cheng's heart ache. He frowned in pain and started coughing violently again. "Cough cough... cough cough cough..." Yu Cheng lay on the bed, his body trembling from coughing, like a fish dying of dehydration on the chopping board. Yingrong was frightened and hurried to calm Yu Cheng, fearing that Yu Cheng would be overexcited and get into trouble. "Your Highness, Your Highness..." Yingrong was at a loss, hesitating whether to ask Doctor Chen, when Xie Wanruo came back. "What's wrong?" Xie Wanruo quickly ran to the bed, took over Yingrong's job of calming Yu Cheng, and ordered Yingrong to pour tea. Yu Cheng looked at Xie Wanruo with a worried face, and forced himself to stop coughing, but he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak for a while. Xie Wanruo took the tea and helped Yu Cheng to feed him. After slowly drinking a few sips of tea, Yu Cheng finally felt better and was able to speak. "Wanruo, why didn't you tell me?" Yu Cheng grabbed Xie Wanruo's hand, his eyes were full of pain, and his heart was about to be broken by self-blame and guilt. Xie Wanruo was stunned: "Tell what, Your Highness?" Yu Cheng closed his eyes and said in a painful voice: "I know everything, my mother and Mu Xue, they... want to harm you." Xie Wanruo heard this, turned to look at Yingrong, and scolded her for being too talkative. Yu Cheng sighed: "Don't blame her, I ordered her to say it." "Go down." "Yes." Yingrong hurriedly retreated as if she had been pardoned. Seeing Yu Cheng's frown, Xie Wanruo looked painful and guilty. She raised her hand and touched his forehead and said, "Don't think too much, Your Highness. I'm fine." But she almost died! "Wanruo, I... I'm sorry." Yu Cheng felt that he owed Xie Wanruo too much and was too ashamed to face her. Xie Wanruo said softly, "Then Your Highness, can you pay me back in your lifetime?" Everything she suffered was indeed caused by Yu Cheng, but she was also willing to enter the palace at the beginning. Besides, things in this world are complicated and difficult to distinguish right from wrong. If she was wrong, what did Yu Cheng do wrong? Why did he bear all this? Who will pay him back? Facing Xie Wanruo's generosity and tolerance, Yu Cheng said bitterly, "Okay." He knew in his heart that Xie Wanruo wanted to use this to tie him down and give him a reason to live. His Wanruo was really too good. If being born as the son of the Queen was a great misfortune, then meeting Xie Wanruo was a great fortune. "Your Highness, it's not your fault. Don't be depressed anymore. Get well soon. Haolin, Haoyan and I all need you." Xie Wanruo smoothed Yu Cheng's brows a little. Yu Cheng took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "My mother and Mu Xue..." "They were deposed and sent to the cold palace." Xie Wanruo told the truth. Yu Cheng would know it sooner or later. Instead of lying and hiding it, it is better to face the pain and break it and then stand up again. In fact, Yu Cheng had guessed it a long time ago. After he woke up, he hadn't seen the Queen and Cao Muxue, so he knew they would not be able to come. "Then...what about the Cao family?" Yu Cheng asked again. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he also needed to confirm them. "The Cao family has been confiscated and imprisoned, and Prince Jing is in charge of the trial. I heard that many crimes have been found in the trial in the past few days, and many officials have been implicated..." Xie Wanruo told Yu Cheng everything she knew. It is a good thing that Yu Cheng can ask and want to understand the situation in the outside world, which means that he has planned to cheer up again. Cao Qian's crimes were beyond Yu Cheng's expectations. He thought that Cao Qian's regicide and treason were already heinous crimes, but he didn't expect Cao Qian to commit so many serious crimes. Yu Cheng was stunned for a long time and didn't recover. Xie Wanruo didn't say anything else, but just accompanied him quietly. The sky was gray and it looked like it was going to rain.

Jiang Shu rested for a few days and recovered a lot. He could move freely, but he couldn't go out of the house, and felt suffocated.

He walked from the inner room to the outer room, and then from the outer room to the inner room. After going back and forth a few times, Jiang Shu sat back on the edge of the bed.

"You eat and sleep all day long, and eat when you wake up. You seem to be very comfortable." Jiang Shu stretched out his hand and gently poked Yu Ziyu's sleeping face, with a gentle and loving look.

After a few days, Yu Ziyu's skin faded red, and his little face was round, white and plump, soft and sticky like a Yuanxiao, making people want to take a bite.

Jiang Shu liked to lower his head and kiss Yu Ziyu's soft little face.

Yu Ziyu, whose good sleep was disturbed, moved his eyebrows unhappily and closed his eyes leisurely.

Yu Ziyou woke up, but did not cry.

His dark eyes looked at Jiang Shu with a very calm expression, as if he knew that the person in front of him was his mother and he felt very safe around her.

Jiang Shu picked him up and paced slowly in the room, talking to Yu Ziyou as if talking to himself.

Yu Ziyou stared at Jiang Shu without blinking, as if he was very interested in what she said.

Jiang Shu was tired of walking around, so she sat down on the soft couch.

Yu Ziyou's little mouth twitched, and he was about to cry.

Jiang Shu hurriedly said, "But are you hungry?"

Jiang Shu began to produce milk on the third day after giving birth. She was the one who fed him almost all day these days. Only at night or when the milk was not enough, did the wet nurse help feed him.

While talking, Jiang Shu skillfully unbuttoned the front of his shirt and fed Yu Ziyou milk.

Yu Zheng walked into the inner room and happened to see this scene.
