Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 112

Zhou Yuchen found trouble with Rong Fei's mother's family. Rong Fei's younger brother had done a lot of bad things in the past two years and was now reported to the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen. Huang Rongli took Song Tixing to the Yun family. The head of the Yun family wanted to protect his youngest son, but Huang Rongli did not give him, a second-rank minister, any face at all.

"Lord Yun, you know that the emperor pays special attention to the relatives of the concubines. If you don't let me take him away and clear the young master's name, the reputation of the Yun family may be tarnished."

Huang Rongli was a fourth-rank official, and normally he would not have the courage to speak to the head of the Yun family in this way.

The head of the Yun family had no choice but to ask the Jingzhao government to take his youngest son away, and then asked his wife to rush to the palace to meet Concubine Rong.

Rong Fei was still looking at the list of guests for the flower viewing banquet when Eunuch De Sheng hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, Madam Yun is here."

Rong Fei was stunned: "Why did mother come here at this time? Did you ask what it was about?"

Eunuch Desheng whispered, "Madam is very anxious. It seems that someone in the family has been arrested and taken to the Jingzhao government office."

Concubine Rong asked someone to invite Madam Yun into the palace. Madam Yun wanted to pay respect to Concubine Rong, but Concubine Rong stepped forward to support Madam Yun and said, "Mother, what happened?"

"My lady, something happened to Zheng'er. He was taken away by the Jingzhao government office."

Madam Yun burst into tears: "Madam, you must save Zheng'er. He has been pampered since he was a child. The conditions in the imperial prison are harsh. How can he endure it?"

Rong Fei's face looked a little ugly: "Mother, don't be anxious, tell me the whole story."

Madam Yun sighed, "Zheng'er was set up by someone. He fell in love with a woman who was also in love with him, so he wanted to take her into his house. Who knew that the woman was engaged to someone else? The man came to blackmail him, and Zheng'er accidentally beat the man to death. At the beginning, he paid a lot of money to suppress the matter, but who knew that someone in Jingzhao Prefecture would sue him now."

Rong Fei's temples were throbbing. "Do you know who did this?"

Madam Yun shook her head and said, "I don't know. Over the years, the Emperor has been very kind to the Empress, and everyone has looked up to our Yun family. Even if there was something unfair, everyone turned a blind eye to it for the Empress' sake. Who would have thought that this time, they would find Zheng'er."

Madam Yun looked at Concubine Rong and pleaded, "Madam, although the Yun family has many children, mother only has Zheng'er and you. If something happens to Zheng'er, I won't be able to live anymore."

Concubine Rong was still wondering who would be so blind as to confront the Yun family at this time. She suddenly thought of someone, but she didn't dare say it out loud. She quickly suppressed the thought and stopped herself from thinking about it.

"Mother, please ask father to investigate this matter. The most important thing is to find the person who made the complaint. As for Zheng'er, let him reflect on the bad things he has done over the years in the imperial prison."

Rong Fei's words shocked Madam Yun: "Madam, you don't care about Zheng'er?"

Madam Yun's purpose of coming here today was to get her son out through Concubine Rong. Now Concubine Rong actually asked her son to reflect on himself in there first. How could she accept it for the time being?

Rong Fei held her forehead with her hand, "Mother, we already knew about this matter, but now that it has been brought up again, it is clear that someone did it on purpose. When we don't know who is behind it, even father can't panic and let the person behind it take advantage of the opportunity. Mother, if you only think about not letting your brother suffer, then it may be our entire Yun family that will suffer."

Madam Yun was stunned by Rong Fei's words. She left with tears in her eyes. After Madam Yun left, Rong Fei asked Eunuch Desheng to go to the Qi Wang Mansion: "Desheng, go to the Qi Wang Mansion and tell His Royal Highness the Qi Wang about this matter. See what His Royal Highness the Qi Wang says."

De Sheng was a little embarrassed: "Madam, my words are not taken seriously. Even if I go to the Prince Qi's mansion, I may not be able to see His Royal Highness the Prince Qi."

Rong Fei was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand and said, "De Sheng, you are my palace's steward eunuch. If you can't see the King of Qi even if you go, do you want me to go there myself?"

How could Eunuch Desheng dare to say such a thing? He fell to his knees and kept apologizing.

Eunuch Desheng went to Prince Qi's mansion again. This time, the guards did not embarrass him: "Please, Eunuch. His Highness is not feeling well. Please see you in the room."

Zhou Yuchen was lying paralyzed on the bed, with several servants around him serving him medicine. It looked like his end was nigh.

Eunuch Desheng hurried forward to pay his respects and show concern for the health of His Royal Highness Prince Qi. Zhou Yuchen waved his hand to ask the people around him to step back. His pale face was clearly visible to Eunuch Desheng, who said with a sad face, "Your Highness, how did you become so seriously ill? Can you summon the imperial physician?"

Zhou Yuchen opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Eunuch Desheng, my body was already broken when I was at this border. Now I am just barely alive. Many doctors have come, but no one can help me. I will just live one day at a time."

Eunuch Desheng wanted to comfort Zhou Yuchen, but facing Zhou Yuchen like this, he felt that everything he said was wrong.

At this time, he didn't dare to say the original intention of Concubine Rong sending him. He only said that Concubine Rong sent him to visit His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. Zhou Yuchen asked him to go back and thank him with some difficulty. He was too tired after saying these few words. The doctor on the side came forward and politely asked Eunuch Desheng to leave.

"Eunuch, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is very tired from talking now, please don't disturb His Royal Highness to rest."

Eunuch Desheng had no choice but to take his leave. When he returned to Rong Fei's palace, he told her about his meeting with Zhou Yuchen. Rong Fei did not blame Eunuch Desheng. She just murmured to herself, "Is Zhou Yuchen really that seriously ill?"

Concubine Rong was a little skeptical. She always felt that Zhou Yuchen was a strong man. When he was young, he had escaped from danger many times. It didn't make sense that he would really die of illness now.

A few days ago, Zhou Yuchen was still disobeying her and demanded to marry the girl from the Gu family.

Is he now terminally ill?

"My queen, the blood gushing out from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi could dye a whole vat of clothes red."

Eunuch Desheng replied respectfully, "Even when he was talking to the old slave, he was forcing himself to speak. The doctor beside him couldn't bear to see it and told him not to talk any more."

Rong Fei nodded: "Since Zhou Yuchen is so seriously ill, I don't think he did it. Who could have done it?"

Eunuch Desheng couldn't help but speak for Zhou Yuchen: "Your Majesty, I dare to say something for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. Even if His Royal Highness is not sick, it is impossible that His Royal Highness did it. Your Highness and Your Majesty are mother and son. We share the same fate."
