Shen Xian didn't know what Zhong Mingqi was thinking at this moment. She just thought that he was injured by the jailer, so she quickly stepped forward and asked: "Cousin? Did the jailer hit you?"

Zhong Mingqi gritted his teeth and looked back at her.

"Ruan Ruan...you shouldn't be here, go back."

Shen Xian turned around and took the food box from Xiang Nong, took out a plate of pastries from it, passed it through the gap in the prison, and advised: "You should eat something first, you don't like sweet things, I specially let you No one put any sugar."

Zhong Mingqi rubbed his sore eyes, took the pastry and took a bite. It was indeed not sweet, but rather bitter.

He said: "Ruan Ruan, do you think your cousin is useless?"

"Cousin, what are you talking about? What does this matter have to do with you? Others want to harm the Zhong family and the prince. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you may not be able to prevent it."

The whole thing is not Zhong Mingqi's fault, so why bother trying to incriminate him?

Seeing that Zhong Mingqi still looked like a frost-beaten eggplant, he couldn't help but tone his voice more intensely: "Zhong Mingqi, you are the legitimate son of the Zhong family and you want to support the entire Zhong family. If you are depressed, what will you do to the Zhong family? It's not the last moment yet. Trust me, nothing will happen to you."

Zhong Mingqi is somewhat inexplicably confident like Shen Xian, but looking at Shen Xian's expression makes people believe it.

Shen Xian remembered what Emperor Hongzheng had told her before, and opened her mouth but felt that she couldn't say too much, lest the secret be revealed.

When he spoke again, he just said: "I also brought clean quilts for everyone, so that you can sleep more peacefully at night."

After saying that, she asked the fragrance to be distributed to everyone, but Zhong Mingqi stubbornly wanted to persuade her to leave.

Even Zhong Mingyue looked at Shen Xian through the prison door and said, "Ruan Ruan, please go back quickly. Don't let anyone see you and gossip about you."

Shen Xian walked up to her with red eyes: "You have suffered."

Zhong Mingyue's eyes also turned red, but she smiled and joked to Shen Xian: "Those who achieve great things don't always have to work hard on their bodies and minds. It's nothing."

Shen Xian touched Zhong Mingyue's cheek distressedly.

She lost a lot of weight.

He turned to look at Shi Yanyuan who was standing aside. Although he was much thinner than before, his expression was not flustered at all and was as calm as usual, as if he was not in the prison but in the study room of the East Palace.

Shen Xian retracted her eyes and took Zhong Mingyue's hand: "Don't be afraid, cousin, you will be fine."

Zhong Mingyue forced herself to smile and said no more. She just held hands with Shen Xian and cried together for a long time.

When Shi Yanyuan came over, Shen Xian immediately raised her head and asked, "Does Your Highness have something you want me to bring to Ziqing?"

Shi Yanyuan: "No, you can take a good rest during this period."

Shen Xian was startled, looking at Shi Yanyuan with strange eyes, and then immediately returned to normal.

Nodding yes.

When Shen Xian left, Ye Min pulled her and told her to go see her mother more and not to worry her mother too much, and then she cried in her husband's arms.

Shen Xian was afraid that she would collapse emotionally with them if she stayed any longer, so she simply left early.

She burst into tears after leaving the prison. Xiang Nong stood aside at a loss, wanting to comfort Shen Xian but not knowing what to say.

These were relatives who had watched her grow up, so how could she bear to see them in such a miserable state now?

It was just that after crying, she had to pretend that nothing had happened and left the prison, and went into the palace to spend some time with the eighteenth prince.

In fact, to put it bluntly, she went to find the 18th prince just to deceive others and make people think that they were not the prince's party in Prince Xuan's Palace.

In addition, there is another purpose, that is, the thing the emperor said is in Ningyu Xuan, and she goes to Ningyu Xuan every day to find that thing.

It's just that after so many trips, she couldn't find any clues.

When she arrived at Ning Yuxuan today, her grandma suddenly rushed over and knelt down in front of her, shouting for Shen Xian to help.

"What happened? You get up first and talk."

Mammy did not get up. She knelt on the ground and raised her head and cried: "Early this morning, the Queen sent someone to take away the Eighteenth Prince. She said that Chen Cainu was unable to take care of the prince. From now on, the Queen will personally take care of the prince's daily life."

"Princess, please help Cainu. She is lying ill in bed without eating or drinking. The prince doesn't know what to do. My old bones are fine, but the prince and Cainu can't..."

Shen Xian frowned.

She should have thought of it.

She got close to the eighteenth prince in such a big way, and now that the prince was deposed and imprisoned, she was really anxious.

Shen Xian raised her forehead and rubbed her brows, and said, "You take care of Cainu first, and I'll go talk to the Queen."

Grandma finally felt at ease and stood up to watch Shen Xian leave.

In Fengluan Palace, the eighteenth prince was running around the room, shouting that he wanted to go back to find his mother. The queen looked livid as she saw that none of the maids in front could catch a single child.

Xiao Hui on the side even took a step away in disgust.

"Empress, are you serious about raising an eighteenth prince?"

The queen was recently worried that Shi Yanyuan had not had a good night's sleep for several days. At this moment, her face was haggard, her hands were leaning on the table to support her head and she said feebly: "No, I just did it for Shen Xian to see. Now my son If she is framed, Prince Xuan’s Palace will not even think about having an easy time."

Xiao Hui curled her lips secretly and turned her head with a very worried look: "I don't know how the people from the Criminal Department handled the trial, and actually let him assassinate the prince as the leader."

As soon as she finished speaking, the queen immediately opened her eyes and looked at her.

He frowned as if he had thought of something, and asked suspiciously: "Is it King Xuan?" Random immediately gave up the idea: "Impossible, if he has more opportunities to harm Yuan'er, why did he choose this moment?"

"Your Highness, you don't understand. Ever since His Majesty's accident, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is no longer what he used to be. It is said that he has not entered Dali Temple for half a month. He rarely interferes with the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. I am afraid that he has long been dissatisfied and only does A prince..."

The queen's face became increasingly ugly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "He dares!"

As soon as I finished speaking, a palace maid came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Xuan is here."

Xiao Hui and the queen looked at each other.

Came just in time.

The moment Shen Xian came in, Dudu's eyes that were originally red from crying suddenly lit up, and his two short legs flew towards Shen Xian.

"Dudu!"

Dudu wiped her tears and cried: "Auntie, I want to go back and find my mother."

Shen Xian touched her little face distressedly: "Auntie, will you take you back to find your mother right now?"

Little Dudu nodded aggrievedly.

The queen snorted coldly: "Shen Xian, you are becoming more and more bold now. Don't you even need to salute when you enter the palace?"

Shen Xian raised her head and said expressionlessly: "See the Queen."

The queen stood up, looked at Shen Xian in the center of the hall, and said, "I'm afraid Shi An won't be able to leave with you today. From today on, I will be An'er's mother-in-law."

Yes, the eighteenth prince’s original name was An, and Dudu was named by Chen Cainu herself. Although it sounded ugly and childish, the mother and son just liked it.

Xiao Hui also hurriedly stepped forward: "Auntie Huang, this is a great blessing for An'er. She has a much better future than following Chen Cainu."

Shen Xian had a cold face.
