Princess Zhen Ning was a little scared of this younger brother she had brought up. She twisted the corner of her clothes and said uneasily, "Xiao 'er, that's our biological mother."
Mo Xiaoyun snorted, "Biological? When did she treat us as her biological children? Do you know what kind of situation you are in now? If you and your younger brother are implicated because of her … "The Duke of Qin was very concerned about this elder sister who had taken care of him since he was young. Noble Consort Liu had been very cold to her children since they were young. Most of the time, it was Princess Zhen Ning, who was two years older, who took care of them. Now that he had been conferred the title of Duke of Qin, he could only live outside the palace. His younger brother, who was only eight years old, had to be taken care of by Zhen Ning.
"Can't … can't we really save her?" Princess Zhen Ning asked carefully.
Mo Xiaoyun sneered, "Do you know what she did?"
"What?" Princess Zhen Ning was stunned. Subconsciously, she didn't think that her mother would do anything unforgivable.
Mo Xiaoyun said coldly, "She ran to the Prince Ding Mansion to threaten Prince Ding to marry her and even insulted Princess Ding. If she really marries Prince Ding, no matter if she becomes the Equal Consort or Secondary Consort, what will happen to us? Sister, have you thought about it? " Mo Xiaoyun, who had been taught by Prime Minister Liu since he was young, wasn't stupid. He recalled that when Prince Ding had just returned to the capital, his mother had hurriedly left the palace. Afterwards, his father had promoted several princes and concubines. He knew that Noble Consort Liu's idea didn't only come about after his father passed away.
Originally, he did not believe it, but when he saw with his own eyes that his beautiful and arrogant Imperial Concubine Mother was thrown out of Ding Wang Fu in a sorry state and refused to give up, his heart turned completely cold. Grandfather was right. His mother had never taken him and his brother seriously. For himself, for his sister and brother, he couldn't have anything to do with her anymore.
"How … how could it be?" Princess Zhen Ning opened her eyes wide in shock. She had lived in the palace since she was young and learned the female precepts taught by the palace nannies. What she remembered were the rules of conduct as a woman. No matter which one it was, his mother's behavior was undoubtedly spurned by the world.
Mo Xiaoyun looked at her, "Do you understand? If you understand, then don't go see her again. "
"But … if I don't go, she'll …" She'll die … No matter how ignorant Princess Zhen Ning was, she still lived in the big vat that was the imperial palace. She naturally knew what would happen to a woman who was banished to the Cold Palace, not to mention that her mother was seriously injured.
Under her brother's determined gaze, Princess Zhen Ning finally lowered her head. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "I understand …"
Seeing that she agreed, Mo Xiao Yun's expression eased up. Knowing that his sister was upset, he said in a deep voice, "Sister, I'm doing this for our own good. Rather than letting her cause countless troubles outside, it was better to keep her in the Cold Palace. Could it be that you want others to know that we have another … Imperial Mother? "
Mo Xiaoyun did not finish his sentence, but Princess Zhen Ning understood what he wanted to say. Princess Zhen Ning nodded and said, "I understand."
"That's good. Sister, you should rest early. I'm leaving the palace. "Mo Xiaoyun said softly," Take good care of Little Brother. Don't let him cause trouble everywhere. "
"I understand." Princess Zhen Ning nodded. She pulled Mo Xiaoyun a little worriedly and asked, "How are you going to leave the palace at this time?" It was already the fourth watch period, and the palace gates had long been locked. Mo Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Since I can come in, I can naturally go out. Don't worry. Sister, take care. "
After watching her brother leave, Princess Zhen Ning turned and entered the palace. On the way in, she did not even meet a single palace maid. Because they were not valued by their birth mother, their palace maids and eunuchs were not meticulous. Now that Noble Consort Liu was in trouble, these people simply became lazy in broad daylight. It was also because of this that Princess Zhen Ning was gone for so long without being discovered.
After returning to her room, Princess Zhen Ning found the backup medicine she kept. She gritted her teeth and still turned to leave.
She also didn't want people to know that she had a shameless mufei. She wasn't an ignorant young girl who didn't know anything. She naturally knew that if Noble Consort Liu really succeeded and entered Ding Wang fu, what would happen to her and her siblings. Especially her … as a princess who was about to reach marriageable age. It was impossible for their mother to take them to the Prince Ding Mansion, and as princes and princesses, it was also impossible for them to go to the Prince Ding Mansion. But even so … they could not let their mother die because her injuries could not be treated.
After delivering the medicine … they should go back. Princess Zhen Ning thought silently in her heart.
"… I'm afraid she won't be able to live …" A faint voice entered Princess Zhen Ning's ears. Princess Zhen Ning jumped in fright and hurriedly hid behind a flowering tree by the roadside. It was the end of the month. The crescent moon was dim and did not leave any trace as she hid in the shade of the tree. A pair of night patrolling eunuchs slowly came from not far away. Perhaps it was because it was easy to fall asleep late at night, the two eunuchs began to gossip as they walked.
"That's natural. Don't look at that person who used to be the most favored in the six palaces. Now that the late Emperor has passed away, he even offended the Empress Dowager. I heard that Zhangde Palace has sent word that that person must be put to death … "
"Pooh pooh … don't talk nonsense. If it gets out …"
"Zhangde Palace's Eunuch Feng is my godfather. How could his words be false?"
"That's true … Eunuch Feng is the Empress Dowager's right-hand man. I heard that Zhangde Palace is going to be overturned. "
"Isn't that so … I heard that person offended Prince Ding. Sigh … have you heard about that? "
His companion on the side revealed a tacit smile. "How could I not have heard? I'm afraid it's already spread throughout the Imperial City. It's just that they don't dare to casually spread it out because they're worried about the Imperial Family's reputation. Who doesn't know that Prince Ding is devoted to the Princess Consort? After all these years, he hasn't even had a bedwarmer. This matter ah … "
"In the past, that person was always as cold as ice, but I didn't expect …" The words that followed were somewhat unbearable to the ears. Fortunately, the two eunuchs gradually walked away.
Under the dim moonlight, the delicate young girl's face was pale as she looked at the small path that was already devoid of people, trembling slightly.
