Although Wen Yuyin didn't know why Xia Hou Yiyun was so afraid of Dongling Yuanhao knowing the truth, she really didn't intend to get involved in their affairs, so she was naturally happy to agree to Xia Hou Yiyun's request and not to let her know.
He told Dongling Yuanyong.
After receiving her assurance, Xia Houyiyun immediately felt relieved, and her mood suddenly brightened up and she ended her "provoking an investigation" against Wen Gongyin.
Then, she happily went to find Ximen Yourong, whom she liked.
At this time, Ximen Yourong had already helped Xiahou Chunyan complete the final detoxification.
She finally checked Xiahou Chunyan's pulse, then looked at his face, and said with almost confidence:
"The prince's poison has been almost eliminated. The rest just needs to be taken care of and he will be back to normal soon. The prince can feel at ease."
Xiahou Chunyan smiled gratefully:
"Ever since I put my life in your hands, I have always felt at ease! But now that I have recovered, I don't know how to repay my husband and wife for their great kindness?"
He was able to save his life this time. Everyone knew that if Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong hadn't worked together to save him, he would have been saved long ago.
Ximen Yourong didn't care too much whether Xiahou Chunyan's gratitude was sincere or polite. She just smiled and said calmly:
"Thanks to the crown prince's trust, I will do my best both in public and private matters, so the prince does not have to worry."
Xiahou Chunyan looked at Ximen Yourong's peaceful and dazzling face with a flicker of strange eyes. He stopped being polite, but instead asked:
"Queen Ximen today is the last time she comes to cleanse me of my poison, but she shouldn't be here just for me, right?"
"Why did the prince say this?"
"You came earlier today than you did several times before, and you didn't put your things away as soon as you were done, give a few doctor's instructions and leave as before. It can be seen that you are not in a hurry to leave this time."
Xiahou Chunyan's analysis is actually quite contrasting. Ximen Yourong has come to the palace alone several times to treat the remaining poisons in his body.
But every time she came with the mentality of a doctor. After completing her duties, even if he wanted to save her time for a cup of tea, Ximen Yourong would politely refuse and leave.
Ximen Yourong looked at the medicine box that she had not packed yet, and she smiled knowingly:
"The prince pays close attention to details. I really am not in a hurry to leave."
Xiahou Chunyan made a "please" gesture and asked Ximen Yourong to sit down and drink tea.
After Ximen Yourong sat down, Xiahou Chunyan, who also sat down, poured tea himself and said:
"If I guess correctly, Queen Ximen's extra incident this time should be related to Miss Wen who lives in the palace, right?"
Wen Yingyin was settled here by Dongling Yuanhao. Even if he didn't know the reason, as Dongling Yuanhao, it would not be an easy task to take special care of a woman who had fallen into prostitution.
Ximen Yourong smiled at his accurate guess and said:
"What the prince said is true. I really want to see Miss Wen. I wonder if the prince can send someone to invite her..."
"No need to invite, she's here."
As Xia Hou Yiyun's voice came, her figure had appeared. Behind her was a Yingying figure wearing light green clothes.
Ximen Yourong didn't need to ask, she knew who the visitor was.
Similarly, when Ximen Yourong was sizing up Wen Gongyin, Wen Gongyin was also sizing up her.
However, Wen Yuyin seemed to know her identity and had no intention of kneeling down to salute.
Ximen Yourong didn't mind anything about this. Instead, she stood up and faced Wen Gurgling and asked calmly:
"It seems that Miss Wen also wants to see me?"
Wen Gongyin paused slightly, hearing what Ximen Yourong meant, she was right to come. Because she was not the only one who wanted to see Ximen Yourong, Ximen Yourong also wanted to talk to her about something.
She didn’t know why she wanted to see Ximen Yourong. Maybe it was because she was curious that the daughter of Ximen who was protected and survived by the Dongling ancestors was sacred to all parties!
However, when she saw Ximen Yourong, even though Ximen Yourong's calm charm was impressive, she still felt a little inexplicable hatred in her heart.
Because Ximen's crimes indirectly led to the destruction of her family, she did not want to face Ximen Yourong as if nothing had happened.
But in the end, she still knelt down and saluted Ximen Yourong. After all, with such a huge disparity in status, how could she really not understand the etiquette of honor and inferiority?
Xiahou Chunyan saw that Ximen Yourong probably had something to say to Wen Gongyin, so he took the initiative to step back and give way and said:
"If Queen Ximen doesn't mind, I'll let you and Miss Wen have a chat here. Anyway, I happen to have something to go to the study to deal with."
"Thank you Prince for your kindness."
Ximen Yourong did not refuse Xiahou Chunyan's thoughtfulness. After Xiahou Chunyan took the half-understanding Xiahou Yiyun out with him, she and Wen Yuyin also sat face to face.
After quietly praying for Wen Gongyin and adding a cup of tea for himself, Ximen Yourong looked at Wen Gongyin who was indifferent and forbearing and said bluntly:
"Miss Wen, do you really want to yell at me now?"
"Why did your Majesty say this? What's more, how could I dare to scold your Majesty?"
"Because my surname is Ximen. Facing me, all you are thinking about right now is probably resentment towards Ximen."
Ximen Yourong felt the hatred in Wen Xingyin's heart from the cold and hateful look in her eyes.
In fact, not to mention Wen Yingyin, even she herself felt sad for the lives lost in the Ximen case.
Wen Yuyin didn't expect Ximen Yourong to speak so directly. More importantly, Ximen Yourong seemed to have figured out her true identity. She almost said with certainty:
"Your Majesty, do you already know what happened to my Wen family?"
"That's why I'm sitting in front of you now."
Originally, Dongling Yuanyong was going to come with her today and meet Wen Yingyin by the way, but because an emergency situation seemed to have occurred in the court, Dongling Yuanyong had to go and deal with it first.
Therefore, she came to the palace early so that she could have more time to meet Wen Yin.
In fact, she could pretend that she didn't know about Wen's grievances, but she also felt that Wen Yingyin's situation was similar to hers in some sense.
They were both survivors of the Ximen case, but she was lucky enough to survive a situation where she should have perished along with her family, while Wen Yuyin escaped being maliciously exterminated.
Of course, compared with her calmness in the face of genocide, the pain Wen Gongyin endured must have been heart-piercing.
Wen Gongyin was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that Prince Hao has kept his promise."
Ximen Yourong knew about Wen's grievances, which also proved that Dongling Yuanyong also knew about it. Therefore, Wen Gongyin wanted to know Dongling Yuanyong's attitude.
Ximen Yourong seemed to know what she was worried about, so he took the initiative to tell her:
"Prince Hao not only informed His Majesty of your appeal, but at the same time, Your Majesty has ordered that Prince Hao be responsible for thoroughly investigating the Wen family's case. But it will take some time to give Miss Wen a reasonable answer. I see you today, that is
I want to tell you on behalf of His Majesty that Your Majesty will return justice to the Wen family. In addition, if you need any help, you can ask."
"Your Majesty...is he really willing to conduct a thorough investigation?"
For Wen Yingyin, there is nothing she hopes for more than Dongling Yuanyong's fair and just treatment of the Wen family's grievances.
She looked at Ximen Yourong with red eyes, and Ximen Yourong nodded silently, giving her a way to shed tears freely.
This time the meaning of her tears finally changed. For nearly a year, every tear she shed was one of despair. Now, she finally saw hope!
Wen Yingyin did not vent her inner excitement endlessly. She quickly wiped away the tears on her face and took a deep breath to calm her heart.
Seeing Wen Gongyin regain his strong face, Ximen Yourong felt sympathy and appreciation.
But she couldn't say anything sentimental to Wen Gongyin, so she remained silent.
On the contrary, Wen Gongyin sighed softly, and she said with some sigh:
"Your Majesty is really as powerful as the rumors say!"
"...?" Ximen Yourong was puzzled. She has extraordinary power?
Wen gurgled and smiled:
"The Queen can inspire His Majesty to put aside his hatred for Ximen and honor the Empress. In addition, the "Proud Fairy" in front of Ximen's ancestor's grave has been blooming for more than a month, and the people firmly believe that the Empress must have something from God.
The divine power bestowed upon me. I think I was also attracted by the power emanating from my empress.”
"Ha...!" Ximen Yourong chuckled lightly: "If this is the case, it will be even more difficult for me to become a queen in the future."
"Your Majesty, you don't seem to think this is something to be happy about?"
Wen Yingyin's tone became relaxed and chatty. The reason why she suddenly mentioned the praise of Ximen Yourong among the people was because she felt that she was inexplicably attracted to Ximen Yourong, so that she initially had a little regard for Ximen Yourong.
The rejection gradually disappeared. She also thought of Ximen Yourong's position in the hearts of the people.
However, she was not wrong. Ximen Yourong did not feel happy just because he heard such praise. On the contrary, Ximen Yourong concealed his smile and remained silent.
There is no divine power in this world given by God, it just happens to be one-sided.
Thousands of people are an infinite force. If that force is with her like it is now, everything can be calm. If it's the opposite, what will happen...?
For some reason, Ximen Yourong always felt that the "good words" Dongling Yuanyong created for her lasted too long.
She has not actually brought any benefits to the people, but instead of fading away, people's good talk about her seems to be getting more and more popular. Is this normal?
The sudden trouble was a bit disturbing. Ximen Yourong frowned slightly, but soon relaxed it. She looked at Wen Gongyin and said sincerely:
"Miss Wen, what happened to your Wen family... I'm sorry!"
Listening to her "sorry", Wen Gongyin felt a lump in her throat for no reason. This was the first "sorry" she heard from someone since Wen's accident. She couldn't describe whether she felt sad or sad at this time.
happiness?
She thought that her perseverance along the way would always be helpless, but now she felt that all the pain she had suffered in the past was nothing.
Because her persistence has brought about the current results, if Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong are willing to face the Wen family's injustice head-on, she believes that the day will not be far away when she can get all justice for the Wen family.
