The next day, Song Yunqian made an excuse to go see the little Princess, and left the palace with Lv Ning by his side.
When he left the palace, it was already noon. Wen Yi had already waited at the Duke Palace for an hour after settling the political matters.
Seeing him arrive, Wen Yi immediately stood up and greeted him.
Song Yunqian's mind was in a mess, he did not know when it had started, but between the two of them, he had already started guarding the Ruler's Hall.
However, this was also good. Sometimes, without distance in their hearts, they could only forcefully pull apart the distance in their actions and pretend that they were alright.
”No need for formalities!” Song Yunqian said lightly.
Song Yungang looked at the two of them and felt that the atmosphere was extremely weird.
Fortunately, An Ran tugged on Song Yunqian's sleeves and asked: ”Royal Uncle, where are little brother and sister?”
Song Yunqian originally wanted to bring them out of the palace, but since he did not want to be too flamboyant, he gave up.
Seeing An Ran ask, he smiled and said: ”Younger brother and younger sister are accompanying Royal Grandmother and Grandmother, does An Ran want to play with younger brother and sister? How about, when royal uncle returns to the palace, you bring An Ran back as well? ”
An Ran happily replied, ”That's good. Father said that he could allow me to stay in the palace for a few days, but he never fulfilled his promise.”
”That is your royal father's fault. Imperial Uncle is criticizing him!” Song Yunqian said with a stern face.
An Ran stole a glance at Song Yungang and muttered: ”If Imperial Uncle criticizes Royal Father, Royal Father will spank An Ran's butt.”
Song Yungang was startled for a moment, and then immediately laughed, ”This kid, he actually learned how to sue.”
Song Yunqian also laughed, ”Don't worry, if your royal father spanks your butt, my royal uncle will have people spanking him.”
An Ran hesitated for a moment. ”Then let's forget about it. I don't want my father to be hurt.”
Song Yunqian was moved, ”So sensible.”
He looked at Wen Yi, and Wen Yi also smiled at An Ran. Seeing Song Yunqian looking back at her, she shifted her gaze.
Unable to look at the tenderness in his eyes, this tenderness was not for her, but for An Ran. It was equivalent to being with twins.
She was the one who made the twins lose their fatherly love for more than four years.
After saying this, he began to talk business.
Song Yungang invited the two inside, and closed the door tightly. Lv Ning stood guard by the door.
Wen Yi said first, ”Your Majesty, Empress Dowager isn't sick. She's infected with a venom, the same as Chen Yuzhu.”
Song Yunqian was startled, ”Confirmed?”
”It's basically confirmed that it was Ke Er who poisoned Chen Yuzhu back then.” Wen Yi said.
Song Yunqian had also heard Zhuge Ming's guesses before, but at that time, he wasn't too concerned about Chen Yuzhu, so he didn't know what her illness was like.
”Is there any way to treat it?” Back then, Wen Yi could not cure Chen Yuzhu, but five years later, would she be able to?
Wen Yi shook her head slowly and said with a heavy tone: ”To be honest, I don't have any confidence right now. It's already pretty good that I can find a way to suppress it, but right now, I don't even have a proper way to suppress it.”
Song Yunqian's heart immediately turned cold by half, ”Even you can't do anything about it? Isn't that the Queen Mother? ”
