"Uncle Prince, let’s go to the Imperial Garden!"
The Loyal Prince was the youngest brother of the late Emperor, and having grown up under the late Emperor’s wing was a matter of immense honor.
Everything was fine except for the way he treated his legitimate eldest son, Chu Xinchun, which was outrageously wrong.
"Any news of Cousin Xinchun?"
A few days ago, news came from the frontier that Chu Xinchun had fallen into an ambush and was severely injured, but his whereabouts were unknown.
As soon as Chu Xinchun was mentioned, the Loyal Prince’s face immediately turned very grim.
"Don’t speak of that scourge!"
The Emperor looked on, filled with sighs.
The Loyal Prince was his right-hand man, and he did not want to hurt Uncle Prince’s feelings. He patted the Loyal Prince’s shoulder, "Uncle, let’s not talk about it. Don’t think too much about it. Let’s go, you and I should have a couple of drinks!"
Although Yun Jinnian did not enter the palace today, the poison in Chu Yu had been neutralized, and Prince Yanjun had also been detoxified. By the time Yun Jinnian entered the palace, his poison would have been neutralized as well, and he would be a completely healthy person.
Even though he couldn’t be the Emperor for thousands of generations, he was now in the prime of his life and sitting on the Dragon Throne for another thirty years would be no problem.
"Yes, I shall respectfully comply!"
Yun Zihan and Liao Shijie arrived happily, first visiting Auntie Cui. After Liao Shijie left on business, Auntie Cui quietly mentioned Yun Jinnian’s visit to Auspicious Water, which left Yun Zihan astonished for a moment, "Is Fourth Sister at home now?"
Auntie Cui took Yun Zihan’s hand.
No matter how she looked at it, she was satisfied.
"Well, Auntie, I’ll go see Fourth Sister. Big Brother Feng sent quite a few mooncakes over, and I can’t eat them all, so I brought some back to share with the family. Fourth Sister has a share too, and now that she’s in the house, I will deliver them personally!"
Actually, bringing back the mooncakes was just an excuse to see Auntie Cui.
That Yun Jinnian was here was just unexpected.
When Yun Zihan arrived at Niannian Garden, she saw Yun Jinnian lying in bed under a thin blanket, with all the windows in the room shut and faint incense burning.
"Why has Second Sister come?" Yun Jinnian asked with a light smile.
"Big Brother Feng sent over a lot of mooncakes today, and your brother-in-law and I couldn’t eat them all, so we sent some back!" said Yun Zihan as she sat down beside the bed.
Yun Jinnian knew Yun Zihan’s thoughts but did not expose her.
"Second Sister, have you ever thought about getting Auntie Cui out of here?" Yun Jinnian asked softly.
The Yun Family was a pit of fire that was bound to be destroyed sooner or later.
Auntie Cui was a good person, and staying in the Yun Residence really wronged her.
On hearing this, Yun Zihan’s eyes reddened, and her voice choked up, "I’ve thought about it, but I’m still planning. I want to get Auntie out, but not without a foolproof plan!"
"If Second Sister needs my help, just say the word!"
Yun Zihan didn’t hear clearly but simply nodded slightly.
Indicating that she understood.
Seeing this, Yun Jinnian knew Yun Zihan hadn’t heard clearly, "Second Sister, how are you and brother-in-law getting along?"
Yun Zihan nodded, her face slightly blushing.
"Does brother-in-law treat you well?" Yun Jinnian asked again.
Yun Zihan, unsure how to respond, simply kept nodding her head, and Yun Jinnian took this as confirmation.
"As long as brother-in-law is good to you, that’s what matters. I was actually worried before!"
Yun Jinnian also felt embarrassed.
Initially, for some reason, she had thought Liao Shijie suitable for Yun Zihan at first glance and had suggested it, never expecting that, unintentionally, she had brought about a happy union.
"Although your brother-in-law doesn’t have an official position now, he is devoted to studying and preparing for exams. I believe that in two years, he will certainly succeed!"
