Chu Cairen has been confined to the Bixiao Palace for some time. If Queen Su Qingyao and Concubine Shu had not sent messages in advance, telling Chu Cairen to stay calm, Chu Cairen would not have known how he would have spent his time. What about the time spent in Bixiao Palace?

While thinking about his father and worrying about his son, Chu Cairen felt very uneasy. Fortunately, there were still people in this deep palace who were willing to help him, so that he would no longer be so lonely and helpless.

It was already late at night, and Chu Cairen was still sleepy. She was unable to sleep due to her many worries.

A knock on the door broke Chu Cairen's thoughts, and Chu Cairen immediately became alert, "Who?"

"Sister Chu, it's me." A woman's voice rang out. If Queen Su Qingyao hadn't sent someone to quietly pass the message, Chu Cairen really wouldn't have believed that that person was Zheng Baolin.

"Sister Zheng?" Chu Cairen opened the palace door and saw that the person who came was Zheng Baolin. He was surprised for a while, and then bowed respectfully, "Sister Zheng? Why are you here?"

Chu Cai had no contact with Zheng Baolin. Knowing that this man took such a big risk to come here, he just had no good intentions.

"Sister Chu, why are your eyes so red and swollen?" Zheng Baolin grabbed Chu Cairen's hand enthusiastically, with a worried look on his face. Unexpectedly, he thought she had such a good relationship with Chu Cairen.

"I've also lost weight." Zheng Baolin said, sitting down with Chu Cairen.

"I brought some snacks to my sister. She must be suffering. It's all because of the servants in the imperial kitchen. Not only are they neglecting my sister, but also His Highness the Sixth Prince..." Zheng Baolin said, covering himself. Q.

"What's wrong with Yuan'er?" Chu Cairen earnestly grabbed Zheng Baolin's hand, "Sister Zheng, tell me."

"It's just that my food is a bit bad, sister, don't worry." Zheng Baolin said.

Chu Cairen closed his eyes, and two lines of tears streaked down his cheeks, "What kind of sin has that child suffered since childhood?"

"Sister Chu, don't worry. My sister is already taking care of you secretly. It's just that there are many people in Yuxiu Palace, so many things are still inconvenient."

Zheng Baolin's words were implicit, but they actually pointed to the fact that the other two princes of Yuxiu Palace did not take care of Chengyuan and even made things difficult for her.

"Your Majesty ordered Yuan'er to be grounded. Xiaoze and Xiaorui didn't dare to do anything too obvious. After all, they are legitimate sons and they didn't dare to offend Your Majesty."

Chu Cairen explained for Chengze and Chengrui, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Zheng Baolin could see this clearly.

"When my sister was free, I heard the old people in the palace talking about a past incident. They said that when Sister Chu was pregnant with His Highness the Sixth Prince, if she had gone to the Changxin Palace of Concubine De to have a baby, then the current legitimate son would really be It’s not necessarily who it is.” Zheng Baolin seemed to be gossiping, but in fact, he had revealed very important information to Chu Cairen.

"I can't understand what my sister is saying. No one in the palace knows that I didn't know that I was pregnant until I went to Huayang Palace. The imperial concubine has only one heir, Princess Ning Le. This Naturally, the child must be raised under the lap of the imperial concubine."

"Sister Chu, you are really confused." Zheng Baolin took Chu Cairen's hand and slowly explained to her, "The Sixth Prince was born prematurely, right? What if this is all a conspiracy?"

"My sister was pregnant at the beginning, but she didn't know it yet. The Queen and Concubine Shu already knew about it, so they asked me to go to Huayang Palace. No matter whether the child is a prince or a princess, he can only be raised in the lap of the concubine. .”

"What if the Queen deliberately lets you go to Huayang Palace? Then the Sixth Prince will only be a concubine for the rest of his life. If my sister finds out she is pregnant first and then goes to the Palace of Concubine De, Concubine De has a family background and heirs. Wouldn't it be easier to ascend to the throne? Then our Sixth Prince is so noble now, so we don't need my sister to say more, right?"

Chu Cairen bit his lip, thoughtfully.

When he was suffering alone in Ice Spring Palace, it was the Queen and Concubine Shu who saved him.

She did not know about the pregnancy before, and she had doubted over the years whether the original Queen and Concubine Shu really knew anything.

Even if it was true, she would admit it.

After all, if she had gone to Changxin Palace, it was another matter whether Yuan Er could become the legitimate son. Concubine De would definitely kill her.

Empress Chun Zhao Yiren had just left, and Concubine De had a good family background. If there was another prince, he would definitely choose to leave his mother and keep his son for the sake of succession.

In the original Chu family, my father was just a sixth-rank official. How could he argue with the Prime Minister's sister about right and wrong?

She almost died ten years ago.

Others say that Queen Su Qingyao is mean, but in the heart of Chu Cairen Chu Ya, she is kind.

Maybe it’s because I have children myself, so I know the value of family ties.

Whether it's her and Yuan'er, Concubine Xiang and Xiyuan, He Mei and Ruoyan, isn't it the Queen who is making things happen?

What's more, when I gave birth, I was in the delivery room for more than an hour, and the pregnant queen stayed with her outside for more than an hour.

Yuan'er has been frail and sickly since she was a child. How often did the Queen not come here with her from the hospital?

Even if it was the Empress's plan at the beginning, everything the Empress and Concubine Shu have done in the past ten years has long been made up for.

In other words, God should have arranged it this way.

Chu Cairen knew clearly that Concubine Shu would not send Cheng Yuan to that position, and neither would he.

It is best for her son to be safe and sound. Otherwise, like Chengxuan, he would not hesitate to rebel and risk his life in order to seize the legitimate son. What good would it do?

But Chu Cairen did not dare to show these emotions in front of Zheng Baolin. After all, he was here to sow discord, how could he not let him get his wish?

"At first, I thought the Queen and Concubine Shu were sincerely helping me, but I didn't expect that they would have such deep thoughts."

A trace of hatred flashed across Chu Cairen's eyes. After staying in the palace for a long time, he had long learned to play tricks on the occasion.

"If Yuan Er was the legitimate son, how could he be grounded by His Majesty's order and suffer in Yuxiu Palace?" Chu Cairen clenched his fists tightly, and veins popped out on the back of his hands.

Zheng Baolin only thought that she hated the Queen and Concubine Shu, but in fact she hated the person who planned this situation.

"They are all princes. What's wrong with my son?"

Zheng Baolin quickly poured a glass of warm water for Chu Cairen, "Sister Chu, don't worry. In fact, my sister came here to tell you this today, but she just wanted to say that there is no hope for the Queen."

Seeing that Chu Cairen was so excited, Zheng Baolin continued to fan the flames.

Chu Cairen said with hatred, "What do you expect her to do?"
