After Cheng Yuan returned to Yuxiu Palace from Yangxin Palace, he was banned from the side hall of Yuxiu Palace.

Chengyuan sat on the chair in despair, not knowing what to do about this matter.

He is familiar with Wanjin's laws and knows how serious this matter is.

Once the evidence is conclusive, my grandfather will lose his life and the entire Chu family will be implicated.

He didn't believe that his grandfather would do such a thing, but looking at his father's attitude, he didn't know what he could do now.

Did the emperor's father ground him because he suspected that his affairs were related to him?

Now that the mother-in-law is busy with sister An An's marriage, I'm afraid she won't have time to care about him.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Cheng Yuan's eyes. He knew that he was not the concubine's biological son. If something really happened, the concubine would probably find a way to protect himself and Sister An'an.

Chengyuan was thinking about it, and when he heard a noise in the courtyard, he stood up and stood by the window to take a look.

I saw Chengze and Chengrui standing in the courtyard. In front of them, a little eunuch knelt. On the tray in the little eunuch's hand, there were two dark pancakes.

This is Chengyuan's dinner.

"Whose order did you follow to dare to send such food to Yuxiu Palace? Such a neglect of the master?" Chengze asked.

The little eunuch said tremblingly, "Third Prince... Your Highness... calm down, this..."

"Who is this for?" Chengrui scolded him coldly.

Chengze and Chengrui both grew up in front of Queen Su Qingyao. They were usually well-behaved and sensible in front of the Queen, but in front of some servants with bad intentions, they also looked like princes.

The young eunuch was just here to deliver meals, but unexpectedly he ran into these two masters, kowtowing repeatedly, "Seventh...Seventh Prince, please calm down."

"Calm down?" Chengrui sneered and kicked the two black pancakes to the ground, "Okay, as long as you eat these two pancakes, I will let you go today, otherwise, I will The prince is going to see today, how many blows you can take?"

"This..." The little eunuch hesitated. After all, the pancake was so hard that he couldn't even bite it.

"Then pull it down." Chengze ordered.

The little eunuch was so frightened that he took the cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chengze and Chengrui looked at him coldly. It was not that they had never seen people worshiping others in the palace before, but this was the first time they had seen someone bully the prince.

The pancake was so hard that the little eunuch couldn't bite it, so he could only break it apart bit by bit with his hands and eat it.

Chengze and Chengrui are not soft-hearted at all. If they are soft-hearted today, who knows how many people will come to Yuxiu Palace to bully others tomorrow.

The little eunuch swallowed the two pancakes with difficulty, and then he had a chance to survive.

"Xiao Rui, don't be angry. There are a lot of slaves in the palace who worship the superiors and suppress the inferiors." Chengze saw that Chengrui was still angry and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Chengrui rarely sighed like this, "I'm worried about brother Yuan'er. If our sharp eyes hadn't seen what the slave sent today, and brother Yuan'er ate the pancake, we would have been waiting to be killed by the Queen Mother and Empress Shu. Let’s scold him.”

"My dinner hasn't been eaten yet. Send it to Yuan'er." Chengze ordered the young eunuch behind him.

"We can just use my share." Chengrui put his arm on Chengze's shoulder, "With so much food, it must be enough."

The little eunuch brought Chengze's meal to the entrance of Chengyuan's palace, but was stopped by the little eunuch guarding the entrance.

Chengze frowned and went over to see what was going on.

"Third... His Highness the Third Prince, this..." The little eunuch guarding the door also looked embarrassed. Cheng Yuan was under grounding. Logically speaking, others could not send anything in.

"My father ordered Yuan'er to be grounded, but he didn't order you to starve him to death, right? Or are you saying that you are unwilling to do things without getting money?"

The little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down directly in front of Chengze, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has spoken seriously, this servant... I will send this to His Highness the Sixth Prince right now."

"Since my father ordered Yuan'er to stay in Yuxiu Palace, he must have wanted my brother, the prince, to take care of him. What do you think, father-in-law?" Chengze smiled half-heartedly.

"Yes, yes." The little eunuch kowtowed a few times, and then quickly delivered the meal to Cheng Yuan's side hall.

Chengyuan just stood by the window and watched the whole thing.

She saw how protective Chengze and Chengrui were for her, and also heard their mother and concubine's concern for her in their words.

Looking at the hot and delicious food, Chengyuan was thinking, if someone hadn't been protecting him, would he really have to eat pancakes today?

Cheng Yuan only ate a little dinner, after all, he was still worried about his grandfather who was in the Ministry of Punishment and Concubine Chu who was being grounded.

I don't know how they are doing now.

I was getting ready to go to bed when I saw a black figure outside the window.

"Who?" Chengyuan immediately became alert.

"Yuan'er, it's me." Cheng Jue's voice sounded, "The little eunuchs are temporarily fascinated by me, please let me in."

As soon as he heard it was Cheng Jue, Cheng Yuan immediately opened the palace door and saw Cheng Jue wearing a black cloak, standing at the door of the palace.

"I've met the Crown Prince." Chengyuan immediately knelt down and saluted, pursed his lips, not knowing what to say next.

"Yuan'er, what are you doing? You're separated from me after being grounded for half a day?" Cheng Jue stepped forward to help Cheng Yuan get up, then closed the palace door himself and took out the things he brought.

"I brought you some snacks, eat them while they're hot."

Cheng Jue took out the snacks. It was Cheng Yuan's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. From the looks of it, it was the craftsmanship of Concubine Shu Gui Xinxin.

Chengyuan lowered his head and thought of his mother-in-law who had raised him for many years.

When I was a child, I was always picky about food, so my mother-in-law would cook her favorite foods in different ways, just to make herself eat one more bite.

Looking at his current situation, his mother-in-law still treats him as always, and he missed his mother-in-law so much just now, Chengyuan's heart is full of debt.

"Brother Emperor." Cheng Yuan knelt down to Cheng Jue again, "Brother Emperor, please save my grandfather."

"Get up quickly, I'm here to help you." Cheng Jue helped Cheng Yuan get up, "But Yuan'er, you also know how serious this matter is. Was your grandfather really wronged? "

Seeing Cheng Jue asking so seriously, Cheng Yuan knew in his heart that what he wanted was a guarantee that his grandfather had nothing to do with this matter, so that he could better help himself and the Chu family.

"Brother Emperor, I am willing to swear that my grandfather is definitely unjust in this matter. Otherwise, the fate of the Chu family will be even more miserable than that of the Qiao family. Brother Emperor, are you willing to believe me?"

Chengjue nodded, "Empress Mother and Empress Shu have been worried that your grandfather has taken the wrong path and followed in the footsteps of the Qiao family. Now it seems that it would be better if he didn't, and it would be better if he didn't."
