Cui Xiaoxiao looked at Song Wanning and explained the purpose of her trip. "Madam, thanks to your care over the past few days, I've been able to settle down in the capital. Now that the storm has passed, your business in the capital has made a lot of money. I don't have many ways to make money now, so I thought of going out to see the beautiful scenery."
Song Wanning saw that Cui Xiaoxiao was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. She looked like a completely different person. Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and smiled faintly, "You don't have to thank me. I took you in because you had so many ways to make money. Now that you want to leave, I won't try to stop you. Have a safe trip."
Cui Xiaoxiao looked at Song Wanning and spoke out her true feelings, "Madam, I used to think I was the heroine, but now it seems that you are the real heroine. All the things I did before, I was just like a clown."
"It's no use saying these things now. In the days to come, you and I should take care of each other." Song Wanning has always been an easy-going person. Seeing that Cui Xiaoxiao was about to leave, she gave her all the money that she should have given her.
Cui Xiaoxiao left the Prime Minister's Mansion just like that.
Zhuque looked at Cui Xiaoxiao's departing back and asked in surprise, "Madam, the Prime Minister's Mansion is a rare and peaceful place in the capital. How could she just leave like that?"
Song Wanning looked at Zhuque and said calmly, "I took her in to make money. We don't have any deep friendship. I haven't forgotten what she did to me. But now, it would be inappropriate to talk about settling scores later. In that case, let it go."
Cai Que, who was beside Song Wanning, saw this and said to her, "Madam, what strange things did Miss Cui just say?"
"Who knows?" Song Wanning looked at the maid beside her and said lightly, "We should go back."
Song Wanning's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was about to give birth. Yin Yichen came home early every day, fearing that he would miss Song Wanning's delivery.
Seeing the arrival of winter, Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and talked about the things in the capital. "Right now, in the capital, Prince An has gradually lost ground because he didn't contribute much to saving the emperor. The crown prince has regained the crown prince's seal and is in charge of many important affairs in the court."
Song Wanning, now lying in a rocking chair, spoke to Yin Yichen in surprise, "Prince An used to benefit from Concubine De's favor, and with the Empress Dowager's support, he could get whatever he wanted in the capital. But now that the Empress Dowager is no longer involved in government affairs due to the previous incident, Prince An has suddenly lost his support and lost the initiative. Besides, the Crown Prince is the rightful heir to the throne. Prince An and Concubine De schemed for a long time, but in the end, it was all in vain. It's really sad to think about it."
Song Wanning said this, looked at Yin Yichen beside her, and slowly said, "But I'm always worried that you will be involved in this storm."
"It's okay. These things in the capital are just trivial matters." Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and said slowly, "The current emperor is in his prime. I'm afraid he can still rule for another twenty years. Even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, it will be many years later."
Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen, who was beside her, and said slowly, "That's good. Our child will be born soon. When the time comes, we will live a good life as a family of three."
Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and nodded. "There are so many things going on in the palace. I'm afraid Concubine De and Princess Xiangyu are busy thinking of a solution for Prince An right now, so they can't take care of us for a while."
Song Wanning nodded slightly, what Yin Yichen said was right.
And at this moment, the palace was really lively.
Concubine De looked at her two children and said seriously, "In the incident a while ago, Yin Yichen was the first to find the mage and a way to save His Majesty. This way, he seized the initiative. And that bitch, the Queen, actually took action beforehand and won over Song Wanning while the Prime Minister was imprisoned. Now, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Office will lean towards the Queen's faction. Our situation is now very unfavorable."
Prince An listened to Concubine De's words and spoke up, "What Mother said is true. Many of the court officials who previously supported our son are now wavering. I'm afraid that if we don't find a solution, the Empress and the Crown Prince will have to intervene."
"Because the Empress has been taking care of His Majesty personally during his illness, His Majesty has come to trust her even more." De Fei's face darkened as she spoke slowly, "I never thought that just a little commotion outside would lead us mother and son into this situation."
Princess Xiangyu curled her lips and said to the Queen, "Mother, if it weren't for Yin Yichen and his wife Song Wanning, this matter wouldn't have ended up like this. They just don't like us. After saving my father, they're helping the Queen to step on us."
"It's useless to say anything now. We can only wait for more time and see if there is any way to save the situation." Concubine De looked at the two children and felt a headache coming on. "Xiangyu is already of marriageable age. If she can find a powerful husband's family to help your brother, I'm afraid her life will be easier."
Upon hearing this, Princess Xiangyu's face darkened and she said, "Mother, didn't you say that after Song Wanning was defeated, I would marry the Prime Minister to help my brother? Why have you changed your mind now?"
"The Prime Minister has already gone to help the Crown Prince, so how could he marry you? Putting that aside, Song Wanning isn't someone to be trifled with." Concubine De looked at Princess Xiangyu and said coldly, "Just wait a few days and I'll ask your grandfather to find you a good husband in the capital."
Princess Xiangyu curled her lips after hearing this. "It's not necessarily that I can't defeat her, but she has the Prime Minister protecting her. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's help these days, she would have died long ago. Now she is about to give birth, and then she will live a good life with the Prime Minister. I am going to marry someone I don't like for the sake of my brother's great cause."
Upon seeing this, Prince An Xie Ke immediately turned to Princess Xiangyu and said, "Xiangyu, when will you learn to be more sensible? If we lose, neither of us will have a good ending."
Xiangyu still looked aggrieved. She said nothing on the surface, but after leaving Concubine De's palace, her face was filled with resentment. "Song Wanning, if it weren't for you, if it weren't for you... do you think you could live a good life with the Prime Minister? My life is not easy, so don't even think about giving birth to a child."
