Rong Ling did not seem to be affected at all. He was just like every other day, she would always take out an hour to study with Xiaoli. 13579246810

It was just that this time, he accompanied Xiaoli in studying for an even longer period of time.

One hour, four hours …

Xiaoli left, and only Liu Wei and Rong Ling remained in the courtyard.

Rong Ling lowered her head and cleaned up the books and brushes on the table. Liu Wei just looked at him in silence, not saying a single word.

A strange silence fell between the two.

Until Liu Wei could not hold it anymore, and asked first: "Are you alright?"

Rong Ling did not stop when she was picking up the books. He stacked all the books together and then placed the brush and ink stone on top of the book. Finally, she picked up a pile of books with both hands and went back inside the house.

Liu Wei frowned, she followed and did not speak anymore.

Rong Ling very patiently placed the books one by one, cleaned up the brush and then wiped off the inkstone.

Waiting until everything was done, Rong Ling turned her head and looked at Liu Wei, asking: "Have you read the letter?"

There was no need to ask this question at all.

If he had not seen it, Liu Wei would not have known so much.

Liu Wei nodded at him and clenched his fists. She was not sure whether Rong Ling was unhappy or not, but if it was her, he would probably not be happy. As for his parents, he was the last one to know.

Rong Ling saw that her head was lowered, his bright eyes, however, had dimmed. He took a step forward and pinched her lower jaw, allowing her to raise his head and look at him.

Liu Wei took this opportunity to look at him, and his gaze fixed.

The two of them looked at each other for a while. Finally, Rong Ling slowly leaned over and hugged her.

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, she knew that Rong Ling did not blame her.

That was enough.

She hugged Rong Ling back, and said seriously: "No matter what you want to do, I will cooperate."

Rong Ling did not say anything. After a while, she sighed.

Liu Wei guessed that Rong Ling must be feeling really bad right now. Even though he didn't say anything after a moment of silence, she wouldn't be hugging her like that if he wasn't in a bad mood. It was as if hugging her was the only way to steal some warmth.

Both of them spoke very little.

Liu Wei accompanied Rong Ling the entire time, the two of them did what they usually did, and pretended to be no different from usual. It was only when it was deep into the night that they slept in each other's embrace.

The emperor was gravely ill. Even if someone had deliberately concealed this news, there were still too many people who had witnessed it with their own eyes. The next day, not only within the palace, but outside as well.

And that afternoon, new news came, saying that the queen mother was about to return to the palace.

The matter of Liu Wei accusing the queen mother of sin was extremely clear to the hundreds of officials in the inner court.

However, at the critical moment when the emperor was in trouble, the decision to punish queen mother had to be put on hold for the time being.

Since there was no punishment, the queen mother was still the mighty Emperor's mother. No one dared to kill the queen mother.

Everyone was watching and waiting.

Watch to see if the Emperor will do well, and wait for the Emperor's new orders.

And Liu Wei did not care about all these. She just pushed all the crimes to queen mother and even deducted Xiang Yi, which was already expected to end like this.

As for the Qianling Emperor …

Liu Wei thought that if Qianling Emperor's health was as good as it was yesterday, then he believed that everything that she had said in the imperial court was caused by queen mother.

At most, he would use this matter to find a reason to restrain the queen mother so that he would never be able to return to the palace in his entire life. Then, he would cut off the wings on the queen mother's back and completely treat the queen mother as a prisoner, imprisoned in the Guanyuan Temple for the rest of his life.

However, no matter how excessive it was, it would never happen.

After all, he was well aware of whether the Qianling Emperor herself was clean or not when it came to dealing with her death.

Liu Wei had never mentioned the Infanta Yuehai before because she knew that the ones who killed the Infanta Yuehai were not the queen mother's forces.

Then who was the murderer?

Actually, there were two possibilities.

First, Rong Ling's father. Second, Qianling Emperor.

No matter who was the culprit, Liu Wei could not reveal it in public.

Since Liu Wei dared to say all of these out loud, and even say it so clearly, she was not afraid of the queen mother taking revenge.

The reason was simple, the Qianling Emperor would not kill the queen mother, he only thought of the fact that the queen mother had his most fatal weakness.

This weakness was too terrifying.

And queen mother would not easily reveal this weakness either. If he were to tear off his face, he would kill even the Qianling Emperor's Monarch, and the queen mother would also be irreparable follow him.

The two of them were protecting each other and holding each other back. In short, they had enough reason to keep this calm on the surface.

As for Liu Wei, yes, it was unfortunate, but she too had grasped this weakness.

Therefore, Liu Wei knew that her life was destined to be safe.

Liu Wei thought about the box that Old Madam Liu gave him, and then thought about the contents of the box. She couldn't help but sigh.

Ahead was the prison.

Liu Wei had originally promised the madame that she would rescue the Liu Territory the next day. However, the matter with Rong Ling's father distracted her and as a result, her progress slowed down.

However, in the end, he still had to save her.

Qianling Emperor was severely ill, which was exactly the time when the inner palace would be the most relaxed, with only a piece of loose sand left. If she did not take advantage of this opening, it would be a waste.

And taking advantage of this opening, she might be able to save more than just one.

The prison was still dark and heavy.

Liu Wei walked forward and the one who was leading the way was no longer that prison guard from last time, but another.

This guard seemed to be easier to speak to than the last one. Seeing Liu Wei take out her order badge, he fawningly nodded her head to her.

Liu Wei did not say anything, she just wanted to see the criminal.

The jailer immediately agreed and led Liu Wei inside. Unlike last time, they met in a small cubicle.

This was the first time Liu Wei saw all the members of the Liu Family.

They were locked up in the bottom of the cell, in the three innermost cells. There were a total of thirty or so males, and all of them had injuries on their bodies.

Liu Cheng was still in that state of stupor, while the Liu Territory sat beside her father. There were more injuries on his body, most likely from the past two days.

With a stern face, Liu Wei stopped in front of the prison door.
