In the side hall where Chen Wanyin was, it had been nearly half an hour since Hongli left with Yonghuan. Chen Wanyin leaned against the door frame and cried silently.

Behind her, Shunxin was fanning her while looking at Chen Wanyin sadly with a frown, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Master, let's go in. The prince and the prince have already gone far away."

But Shunxin's persuasion did not cause any reaction in Chen Wanyin's ears.

At this moment, she did not feel the slightest bit of joy that her son was valued by the emperor and the prince. Her mind was filled with despair that she would never see Yonghuan again.

Her worry began to grow since the day Yonghuan was left in Changchun Garden.

Although she doesn't fight or compete for anything on a daily basis, she is not stupid. She knows what Prince Yu's love means.

In the past, she didn't want to make things difficult for the prince, so even though the prince loved Yonghuan very much, she never wanted her Yonghuan to strive to inherit the prince's title.

In her heart, if her son was good enough, he would naturally strive for the title for himself instead of taking away the position that belonged to the legitimate son.

She knew that it was wrong for her to think this way, and she also admitted that she was selfish and not a good mother. Not only could she not help Yonghuan, she also planned to wait for Yonghuan to grow up and persuade him not to fight for the title.

But she didn't expect that Yonghuan would leave her before the day she imagined came.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanyin closed her eyes in pain, and her tears wet her clothes like beads from a broken string.

"Shunxin, do you think the prince wants to take Yonghuan away from me?"

Hearing that Chen Wanyin was finally willing to talk, Shunxin quickly said nice words to comfort her.

"My dear, no, you are the prince's biological mother and a concubine. The prince will not treat you like this."

But Chen Wanyin was still immersed in her own imagination and couldn't extricate herself. She shook her head and didn't believe Shunxin's consolation.

Even if it is a child of a concubine, as long as the concubine is willing, it is not a problem to raise him or her, not to mention that she is a concubine who has not been listed in the imperial record.

The more Chen Wanyin thought about it, the more she felt that her idea would definitely come true. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were empty and she muttered as she looked at the porch not far away.

"It's all because of me that I'm useless. I can't win the prince's favor, and I can't keep my child."

"You're overthinking it, my Lord. The prince is only taking the little prince to see the emperor. He might be back at night. If you keep crying like this, your eyes will be swollen. When the time comes, the little prince will definitely be heartbroken."

Distressed? Chen Wanyin couldn't stop her tears from flowing down when she thought of the day in Changchun Garden when Yonghuan happily waved his hand to see her off.

"..."

Seeing that Chen Wanyin would not listen to anything he said, Shunxin had no choice but to shut up and stand there to accompany Chen Wanyin in her sorrow.

In another side hall not far away, Ke Xin saw the current appearance of Chen Wanyin and her servant in front of the window, then turned around and quickly walked into the inner hall.

"how's it going"

Seeing Ke Xin come in, Su Lujun took back her hand that was patting Yong Zhang to sleep and asked in a low voice.

"He's still standing there. It's been almost an hour. Master, do you want to go over and give him some advice?"

Ke Xin was not making random suggestions. After all, her master had a very good relationship with Mrs. Chen Shu.

“Yeah, I should go check it out.”

Su Lujun felt that what Ke Xin said made sense, so she stood up and took two steps forward, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and turned around.

"No, Ke Xin, the concubine is very sad right now. If I go to persuade her, it will backfire. It will be bad. Let's do it later."

That's true, Ke Xin nodded silently in her heart, and then quickly complimented Su Lujun.

"Master is right, maybe the concubine doesn't want to see anyone right now, Master is smart and can think of everything."

After being praised by Ke Xin, Su Lujun happily gave her a proud look of "Of course", then quietly sat back in front of the bed. Ke Xin also stood aside and did not speak again.

Once the silence came, Su Lujun couldn't help but have wild thoughts. Although she and Chen Wanyin had only known each other for three or four years, they still knew each other quite well.

The only people in this mansion who could make Chen Wanyin so sad were the prince and the little guy Yonghuan.

When she thought of this, Su Lujun's eyes instantly widened and she looked at Ke Xin with burning eyes. Ke Xin also cooperated and moved closer. Su Lujun then whispered in Ke Xin's ear.

"You say, what happened today, could it be that the prince is really going to send Yonghuan to the concubine's room?"

Su Lujun was not just imagining things. Such rumors had already spread in Taohuawu on the day they returned from Changchun Garden.

And it is precisely because of such rumors that Chen Wanyin was so sad, and Su Lujun thought of this possibility first.

Now that this idea appeared in Su Lujun's mind, she believed it to some extent. After she said it, she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, as if other people would hear it otherwise.

Ke Xin, who was shocked by her master's idea, couldn't help but start thinking along the lines of Su Lujun's words.

Considering Chen Wanyin's sad look now, Ke Xin felt that this was the truth, but she still said it in a perfunctory manner.

"Should, no."

"How is it impossible? Look at Prince Cheng. Isn't it because he was raised by Prince Yu that the emperor values ​​him so much? Now that Yonghuan has caught Prince Yu's eye, if the prince is happy, he might even marry Yonghuan to his wife."

The more Su Lujun spoke, the more she felt that she was right, and her eyes became frighteningly bright.

"I don't know either, but I think it should be like this, otherwise Mrs. Chen Shu would cry so sadly."

A servant follows his master. Su Lujun is not a very smart person...well, she thinks in a simple way. Ke Xin also shares the same thoughts with her master.

The master and servant looked at each other, their eyes full of sympathy for Chen Wanyin. Su Lujun turned to look at Yong Zhang who was sleeping soundly. Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, and then he stood up abruptly with some horror.

"Ke Xin, do you think the prince will take Yong Zhang to a nearby place to raise him?"

"this......"

Originally, Ke Xin wanted to just say no, after all, when they went to Changchun Garden that day, Prince Yu did not keep their little prince.

But Ke Xin didn't dare say this out loud. Others could say whatever they wanted, but she must not say this.

Otherwise, if the princess thinks that I look down on the little prince, it would be all over.

Fortunately, Su Lujun was only panicked for a moment and quickly calmed down. I guess she was thinking about what happened that day.

But when she thought of this, Su Lujun felt a little disappointed for some reason, but soon she was glad again. After all, her son was her life, and she couldn't give her son away just for this little benefit.

Thinking of this, Su Lujun looked at Yong Zhang with even gentler eyes. Ke Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. It seemed that the matter was over.
