The sky gradually darkened, and the emperor, who was having dinner with Zong Zheng Xiaoting and Concubine Rou Gui, had a proud look on his face.

The joyful family life also appears happy and warm to outsiders.

Just as Concubine Rou Gui stood up to prepare the meal for Zong Zheng Xiao Ting and Zong Zheng Wei Mo, Zong Zheng Xiao Ting lifted up her little face, took Zong Zheng Wei Mo's hand and whispered, "Father, can Xiao Ting ask for a reward from you? Or you can lend it to me first."

Zong Zheng Weimo scratched Zong Zheng Xiaoting's high nose bridge and said, "I have told you so many times that it cannot be me, it should be your son. You, even though you forgot, cannot abandon the etiquette."

"Hehe, I know, I know. I know." Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled and said, "Well, father, will you lend it to me?"

Borrow money from the emperor?

Zong Zheng Wei Mo laughed, thinking that in this world, only this little girl had such courage.

"What do you want so much money for?" Zong Zheng Wei Mo asked in a deep voice.

"Hush! Hush!" Zongzheng Xiaoting nervously asked Zongzheng Weimo to speak more quietly, "Mother's birthday is coming soon, but I don't have much money. I don't even have the money to buy good things for you, so..."

Zong Zheng Wei Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but said nothing, "Father, please send someone to give Ting'er a good reward later, okay?"

"Really?" The sparkling eyes blinked, "Then father, do you mean that I don't need to wait for your son to pay you back with my monthly salary?"

"yes!"

"That's great. This way, I can give mother a surprise. How about saving more money and waiting for father..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly covered his mouth and smiled at Zong Zheng Weimo.

He pretended to let the cat out of the bag and then quickly stopped himself. As long as he could ensure that the emperor, his father, heard what he should hear, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Sure enough, the joy that flashed across Zong Zheng Weimo's eyes confirmed that Zong Zheng Xiaoting's plan had been perfectly implemented.

"My second princess is still a little money slave."

"Father, all gentlemen love money. It's right for me to love money too. Give me more money, and they will treat me well." The innocent words really made Zong Zheng Weimo's eyes deepen.

The whispers between father and daughter stopped tacitly with the appearance of Concubine Rou Gui.

After a long time, Zong Zheng Wei Mo also drove to Liv Palace. Before leaving, he gave a few instructions to his personal steward. Then Zong Zheng Xiaoting saw the eunuch asking Qing Qing something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He was afraid that someone would suffer the loss in this drama.

Meanwhile, Concubine Rougui, who was standing by, also smiled as she watched Zongzheng Weimo leave.

In the past few days, how many eyes have been staring at my Rouyun Palace, how many people have been unable to sleep at night, how could I not know it?

"Mother, the ground is cold, get up quickly." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's voice came, bringing Concubine Rou Gui back to her senses. Concubine Rou Gui looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting and a miserable smile spread across her face.

These days, I have been so busy dealing with all those venomous snakes and ferocious beasts that I can't spare the time to have a good chat with my daughter. However, judging from today's situation, this little girl has not lost her memory.

"Come, come here, mother." Concubine Rougui patted the seat next to her, motioning Zong Zheng Xiaoting to sit next to her.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting sat down next to Concubine Rou Guifei obediently, looking at her with puzzled eyes, "Mother?"

"How have you been these days? Is Doctor Chen's medicine effective?" Concubine Rou's voice was soft and gentle, making people feel at ease.

However, when mentioning Doctor Chen, Zong Zheng Xiaoting's brows tightened slightly. He really couldn't figure out Doctor Chen's background for the time being. The two of them were testing each other, but there was still no clear answer. He always felt that there was a conspiracy approaching dangerously.

"Ting'er?" Seeing Zong Zheng Xiaoting distracted, Concubine Rou Gui called him several times.

"Uh..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting slowed down this time, scratched the back of his head, and smiled brilliantly at Concubine Rougui: "Well, I feel much better now, don't worry, mother."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words did not ease Concubine Rou Gui's worried expression. She just looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting with her brows tightly furrowed, and the worry in her eyes did not diminish at all.

"Mother, please don't..."

"Ting'er, you haven't lost your memory, have you?" Concubine Rougui said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not intend to hide it. Mother and daughter are connected by heart. As a mother, it is impossible for her to harm her own daughter. Moreover, it is risky and a desperate gamble to restore Concubine Rougui's favor at the critical juncture of the marriage.

How could someone who had given up on the emperor regain his favor two years after she had given up hope? I believe everyone understands this. The emperor must have had doubts. Only maternal love could give him the courage to make such a desperate move.

"What exactly happened that day? What you did at the palace gate today, was it intentional, right?" Concubine Rou Gui spoke dejectedly, her voice getting lower and lower.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting heard Concubine Rou Gui's sadness and sighed softly, "That day, Xiaoting was held alive in the water, in an attempt to drown her. Unfortunately, she stopped struggling and was kicked into the lake, yet she still survived. If she wanted to live, she would have to have lost her memory." Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Concubine Rou Gui suddenly raise her head. The fierce look in her eyes really scared Zong Zheng Xiaoting. Such a weak woman could have such a chilling expression.

"It's Concubine Li!" The sound of gnashing teeth burst out from between her teeth. Concubine Rougui's expression became more and more cruel, making her beautiful face look a little bit evil. "Hehe, even if I don't fight or fight and give in obediently, will you still not tolerate us mother and daughter? If it weren't for the favor of God, the pain of losing my son would be torn apart."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting had something, "Mother..."

Seeing her daughter worried, Concubine Rou Gui calmed down this time and blinked her beautiful eyes, "Ting'er, don't worry, since your mother is involved again, she will definitely protect you!"

The hand holding Zong Zheng Xiaoting's wrist unconsciously became much stronger as Concubine Rou Guifei spoke.

"Mother, you have attracted father's attention again at this critical moment. Aren't you afraid that things will turn against you when they reach the extreme?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting bit her lip. Moreover, she was also curious about what this Concubine Rougui had done!

"That depends on who did it and what they did." Concubine Rougui smiled sarcastically, her eyes slightly hazy with reminiscence, "Although I was disgraced and confined to Rouyun Palace, I was still banished to the cold palace. Over the years, Concubine Li was very vigilant and tried every means to eliminate the possibility of the emperor coming to my side. She also constantly provoked me to give up my resentment towards the emperor. She only knew that my indifference and lack of fighting were because I had given up on the emperor, but she didn't know that the reason I retreated was because I hoped that she would play a full role and take good care of you for me."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting frowned when he heard this.

No one knew what caused the unhappiness between Concubine Rou and the emperor back then, but no matter how gentle and kind Concubine Li was to Concubine Rou's children, it was all for the emperor. After all, even if the empress and Concubine Rou were sisters, their affection for each other was not as good as that between Concubine Li and Concubine Rou at that time.

If it weren't for Concubine Rou, Concubine Li might not have been able to win the emperor's favor. The greed of human beings was not uncommon in the harem, so it was not surprising that Concubine Li later schemed against Concubine Rou.

But!

How could the child of a concubine who had fallen out of favor due to a plot become the cornerstone of Concubine Li's dominance in the harem?

If I remember correctly, Concubine Li stood out because she took great care of me. What is the connection between them?

Concubine Rougui's next words helped Zongzheng Xiaoting resolve his confusion, and also contributed to Concubine Li's act of digging her own grave.
