Xuanyuan Ce instructed Xuanyuan Ye not to take half a step out of the palace, but he did not say that he would not let the palace maids walk around.

Ruo Mei left the Longevity Palace and bribed an eunuch to deliver the letter to him. The eunuch also bribed a soldier on the city gate tower.

Just like that, Xuanyuan Ye’s letter was sent to the safety zone outside the city.

This was not the first time Xuanyuan Ye had written to Empress Dowager Zhou. Eunuch Yu did not think too much about it when he received the letter. He got someone to disinfect the letter first before presenting it to her.

After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Zhou sobbed uncontrollably. “Emperor, where’s the emperor? Call the emperor over to see me.”

Eunuch Yu was shocked and quickly went to invite Xuanyuan Qi.

When Xuanyuan Qi put down the government affairs in his hand and rushed over, Empress Dowager Zhou was still wiping her tears.

“Mother, what’s wrong?”

“Emperor, you said before that you wanted Ye’er to stay in the city because she…” Thinking that there were too many people in the house, Empress Dowager Zhou swallowed the last sentence and continued,” Ye’er stayed. She has done what she needed to. You can bring her out now. ‘

“Mother, I heard that that girl’s performance has been very good these past few days. Why did you…”

“How can it be fine?” Empress Dowager Zhou interrupted her. “Take a good look at what Ye’er said in the letter.”

Xuanyuan Qi frowned and was about to take the letter from Empress Dowager

Zhou.

Eunuch Wu picked up the letter and opened it for him to see.

Xuanyuan Qi paused. He knew that Eunuch Wu was doing this for his own good, so he didn’t reach out again.

In the letter, Xuanyuan Ye did not mention that Shen Yijia had attacked her, nor did she mention the rumors in the city.

Xuanyuan Ce revealed Shen Yijia’s background. Every word revealed fear and helplessness. The last sentence even said, “Imperial Grandmother, if there’s a next life, I want to be your biological granddaughter.”

No matter how one looked at it, it looked like her last words.

“Every time Ye’er writes to me, she only reports the good news and not the bad news. She must have suffered a huge grievance to send this letter today. My

Ye’er, I wonder how badly she’s been bullied when I’m not around…” Empress Dowager Zhou’s heart ached.

Nanny Gao quickly went forward to pat her back.

“Mother, don’t be anxious. I’ll get someone to ask around first.” “What’s there to ask? Just say something and see if you can bring Ye’er out.” Xuanyuan Qi sighed. “I’ll get Third Brother to send her out tomorrow.”

“Take good care of the Empress Dowager.” With that, Xuanyuan Qi turned around and left.

Eunuch Wu put the letter back, bowed to Empress Dowager Zhou, and hurriedly chased after Xuanyuan Qi.

“Have any letters been sent out of the city?” he asked.

Eunuch Wu hurriedly said, “Yes, yes. It was sent out with the princess’s letter. I saw that Your Majesty was busy, so I put it aside.”

Xuanyuan Qi said unhappily, “In the future, give me the letter immediately.”

“Yes, yes.”

On the other side, after Song Jingchen brought Shen Yijia home, she enjoyed her first dose of motherly love from Ji Luo. She raised the water vat and squatted.

“Squat properly. Don’t look around,” Ji Luo said sternly.

“Mother.” Shen Yijia looked at Ji Luo pitifully, trying to bluff her way through.

The water vat was not heavy to her, but it was a little embarrassing.

Her pitiful act didn’t soften Ji Luo’s heart, but Xuanyuan Ce and Song Jingchen couldn’t bear to see her like this.

Xuanyuan Ce opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Ji Luo glanced at him coldly. Remembering that he couldn’t see, she reprimanded him. “Shut up. You have no right to speak here.”

Xuanyuan Ce thought to himself, “I haven’t said it yet!”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips. With Xuanyuan Ce’s example, he gave up on the idea of interrupting. He silently went to the kitchen and carried another water vat. He walked to Shen Yijia’s side and raised the water vat to squat with her.

Ji Luo frowned. “Ah Chen, get up.”

“Jiajia made Mother worry. She deserves to be punished, but she’s my wife. My wife is in the wrong. As her husband, I should bear the responsibility together.” “Hubby.” Shen Yijia was so touched that her eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing his insistence, Ji Luo snorted. “Alright, squat down with her. MO Yuan, help my son-in-law fill the vat with water.” Song Jingchen’s vat was only half full.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

When Ji Luo said that she wanted to fill it up, MO Yuan really filled it up.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed that his footsteps were a little unsteady. Shen Yijia asked with heartache, “Hubby, can you still do it?” Song Jingchen immediately stabilized himself and said, “I’m fine. I can do it.”

The vat of water was not light. Shen Yijia did not believe it and suggested,

“Hubby, why don’t you give me the vat? I’ll hold one in each hand.”

Song Jingchen thought to himself, “The blow from my wife is even more terrifying than the weight of the water vat.”

Their conversation made Ji Luo want to laugh. Fortunately, she had a veil on her face.

After about ten minutes, she looked at Shen Yijia. “Do you know what you did wrong?”

Shen Yijia wanted to say that she didn’t do anything wrong, but when she thought about how Song Jingchen was still being punished with her, she thought hard. “I shouldn’t have gone to find trouble with Xuanyuan Ye on my

own.”

Ji Luo remained silent.

“Well, that’s not right. I can look for her!” she thought.

“I should have told Mother before I left. I shouldn’t have made you worry.”

Ji Luo asked, “What else?”

‘What else?’

“You Yi.”

Song Jingchen reminded her softly.

Shen Yijia froze and said awl?vardly, “I shouldn’t have knocked You Yi out and thrown him onto the bed to pretend to be me.”

The reason why MO Yuan only realized that something was wrong with Shen Yijia so late was because You Yi was lying on the bed. If You Yi had not woken up on his own, she would probably have only found out about Shen Yijia’s actions after she killed Xuanyuan Ye.

“It’s obvious that someone in this city wants to harm you, but instead of staying at home, you even knocked out You Yi, who was in charge of protecting you. You slipped out silently. If anything happens, what will happen to Ah Chen?”

Xuanyuan Ce said faintly, “And me. You haven’t called me father yet.”

Ji Luo glared at him. “Shut up.”

Xuanyuan Ce said, “Alright.”

Ji Luo was speechless.

“Mother, I really know my mistake. I’ll bring You Yi wherever I go next time.” Ji Luo stared.

Shen Yijia quickly corrected herself. “I’m not going out. Even if I go out, I have to get your or my husband’s permission.”

Ji Luo couldn’t bear to punish them too harshly. She glanced at the couple. “Get up.”

Shen Yijia jumped up and quickly put down the water vat to pick Song Jingchen up.

Song Jingchen heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hubby, are you alright?” Shen Yijia asked worriedly.

Song Jingchen said, “I’m fine.”

Shen Yijia glanced at his trembling hands and did not say anything.

When she returned to her room, she quickly went to get the medicinal wine.

Song Jingchen said, “I’m fine.”

Shen Yijia reached out and took off his clothes. “I know. I want to touch you.”

Song Jingchen was speechless.

“Alright..”
