At this time, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and Sheng Wan'er walked in. She looked at Sheng Yunrong, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and said softly: "Sister, are you okay?" Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, patted Sheng Wan'er's hand, and said gently: "It's okay, sister. I just talked about the past with my brother."

After Sheng Wan'er sat down, Sheng Hongye turned the topic to her: "Wan'er, do you know why the Queen and His Majesty value the Sheng family so much?"

Not long after, the old housekeeper of the Sheng Mansion walked in, holding a letter in his hand and handed it to Sheng Hongye.

He opened the envelope, glanced through it quickly, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"Everyone, this is a letter from an envoy from the imperial court." Sheng Hongye raised the letter in his hand, "The letter mentioned the Queen and His Majesty's appreciation for our Sheng family, as well as the suggestions they made to us."

Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Wan'er both showed delighted expressions.

…

Sheng Hongye's expression gradually returned to calm, but there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes. He coughed lightly, trying to cover up his loss of composure, and then slowly said: "Sister, what you just said is true?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes. She gently patted Sheng Hongye's shoulder and said in an intimate and teasing tone: "Brother, don't you still believe me? When have I ever lied to you?"

Sheng Hongye smiled slightly. Although he still had doubts in his heart, his trust in Sheng Yunrong never wavered. He shook his head gently and said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it. Since my sister is so sure, I will believe you this time."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the mansion, and Jing Wang Pei Jinxiao strode in. He was dressed in a purple robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, and looked heroic. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Hongye, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Sheng, Miss Sheng, you are all here." Pei Jinxiao bowed with a smile on his face.

Sheng Yunrong stepped forward and smiled: "Your Highness Prince Jing, you came at the right time. I was just about to discuss an important matter with you."

Pei Jinxiao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Oh? I wonder what the big deal is that Miss Sheng personally invited me."

Sheng Yunrong smiled mysteriously and turned her gaze to Sheng Hongye: "Brother, why don't you tell me?"

Sheng Hongye smiled slightly and recounted the whole story. Pei Jinxiao was stunned and came back to his senses after a while. He stared at Sheng Yunrong with wide eyes: "Miss Sheng, you are really smart. You can come up with such a brilliant plan."

Sheng Yunrong stuck out her tongue playfully: "No, no, it was just luck."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with admiration. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and secretly admired her. Sheng Yunrong's intelligence and wisdom had long been a legend in the court and the country. Seeing her today, it was indeed well-deserved.

"Then Miss Sheng, what should we do next?" Pei Jinxiao asked.

Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment, then said, "This matter involves serious matters, we must act with caution. First, I want my eldest brother to secretly investigate the guest of the Sheng family to find out who he is and why he appeared in the Sheng family."

Sheng Hongye nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will check it myself."

Sheng Yunrong turned to Pei Jinxiao again: "Your Highness, you have great influence in the court, can you help me find out the details of that guest?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled confidently: "Leave it to me."

Sheng Yunrong nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "In addition, we also need to be prepared inside the Sheng family to prevent the guest from taking any action."

Sheng Hongye frowned and said, "Sister, the guest you mentioned, could it be..."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Brother, have you thought about it?"

Sheng Hongye's eyes flashed with fear, and he covered his mouth, unable to believe that he had actually said that name. He looked at Sheng Yunrong, his eyes full of worry: "Sister, this matter is very serious, we must be careful."

Sheng Yunrong gently patted Sheng Hongye's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, brother. I have a plan to deal with it."

…

Sheng Yunrong asked carefully: "How is Prince Jing?"

Sheng Yunrong's voice gently drifted in the warm room of Sheng Mansion, and the air seemed to freeze. Sheng Hongye raised his head, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes, and he slowly said: "He... the situation is not optimistic."

The eldest daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Yunrong, frowned with a worried look on her face. She bit her lower lip lightly, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "No matter what, we must find a way to save him. After all, he is a friend of our Sheng family."

Sheng Hongye nodded, a trace of respect flashed in his eyes: "That's right, Pei Jinxiao and our Sheng family have a special friendship, we must go all out."

At this time, outside the warm room, Xiao Lin, the personal guard of Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao, hurried in. Seeing Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Hongye, he hurriedly saluted and said anxiously: "The prince's condition is getting worse and worse. The imperial physician is helpless. Please go and see him quickly."

Sheng Yunrong immediately stood up, exchanged glances with Sheng Hongye, and the two followed Xiaolin to Prince Jing's room.

When she opened the door, a faint smell of medicine hit her face. Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao was lying on the bed, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. Sheng Yunrong felt a pain in her heart. She walked gently to the bedside, gently held Pei Jinxiao's hand, her eyes full of worry.

Sheng Hongye stood aside, talking in a low voice with the imperial physician, trying to find a way to treat the disease.

"Miss Sheng, you're here." Pei Jinxiao's weak voice suddenly sounded. Sheng Yunrong was startled and asked hurriedly, "Brother Pei, are you awake?"

Pei Jinxiao nodded gently, forcing a smile: "I'm fine, I just feel a little tired. Miss Sheng, you don't have to worry about me."

Sheng Yunrong had tears in her eyes and her voice was trembling: "Brother Pei, you must hold on. We will definitely find a way to save you."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "I know, Miss Sheng, you care about me so much, I am very grateful. But I don't want you to worry about me."

Sheng Hongye came over at this time and said to Pei Jinxiao: "Brother Pei, don't worry, we in the Sheng family will do our best to save you. I have sent people to invite famous doctors from all over the country, and I believe there will be news soon."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Hongye, with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Brother Sheng, thank you. I know my life is not worth mentioning, but I still want to see my family far away at the border again."

Sheng Hongye patted Pei Jinxiao on the shoulder and said firmly, "Brother Pei, don't worry. As long as you tell us, we will send someone to pick them up immediately."

While they were talking, the housekeeper of Sheng Mansion suddenly came in with a letter in his hand and handed it to Sheng Hongye: "Master, this is a letter from the border, saying that Prince Pei's family has set off and is expected to arrive at Sheng Mansion tomorrow."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this. He held Sheng Hongye's hand tightly and said, "Brother Sheng, thank you. I... I really don't know how to thank you."

Sheng Hongye smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Brother Pei, you don't have to be polite. We in the Sheng family share the hardships with you. This is what we should do."
