After He Shuzhen's head wound was treated, she regained consciousness and stuffed the money bag in her hand into the yamen runner's hand: "My mother is not in a clear mind. Please take good care of her."

The yamen runner did not refuse and took the silver from He Shuzhen: "I will."

He Shuzhen left the cell, got on a carriage and came to the Prince's Mansion.

She stood at the gate, looking at the luxurious Prince's Mansion, without moving for a long time.

Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "Madam, if you delay any longer, it will get dark."

After a long while, He Shuzhen slowly said, "Go knock on the door."

Xiaoyu knocked on the door of the Prince's Mansion and gave He Shuzhen's name.

The servant guarding the gate did not report and let He Shuzhen return home.

He Shuzhen's face looked extremely ugly. In the past, she would have definitely turned around and left for Chen Lerong.

She gritted her teeth, softened her attitude, and pleaded with the servant guarding the gate: "I have something to ask your princess, tell her I have something to ask."

The servant hesitated for a moment, fearing that things would be delayed: "You wait at the door first."

He closed the door and came to He Shulan's yard.

Seeing He Shulan accompanying the old lady, chatting and laughing while pruning the branches of flowers in the yard, he stood quietly by the side, not daring to go forward to disturb them.

There were not many servants serving He Shulan. She soon saw the servant standing there, guarding the door. She put down the scissors in her hand and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"He Shuzhen is asking for an audience at the door. She wants your help with something, so I came here to ask the Princess whether she wants to see him or not."

He Shulan thought for a while and felt that He Shuzhen must have come to her at this time because of Chen Lerong.

She was somewhat helpless. She had a bad relationship with Chen Lerong and her daughter, and they even wanted to strangle each other to death.

Why did Chen Lerong get into trouble? He's father and He Shuzhen came to her for help one after another.

Why do they think that she would get into trouble just to help Chen Lerong?

If she refused to see He Shuzhen at this time, outsiders would definitely say that she was cold and heartless: "You are in the hall when He Shuzhen arrives."

Wait for the servants to leave.

The old lady was full of worry: "I heard about Chen Lerong's matter. This matter involves treason. In order to avoid suspicion, you'd better not get involved."

He Shulan replied: "I know what to do. I must see this side. Whether to help or not is another matter. Otherwise, others will say that I am too cold and heartless."

Hearing this, the old lady thought that this was the case: "Just know it yourself, I won't care."

He Shuzhen, who had been waiting for a long time, felt her heart beating fast when she saw the gate of the Prince's Mansion open.

After all, she had a bad relationship with He Shulan, and was very afraid that He Shulan didn't want to see her, so she asked nervously: "How about it, is the Princess willing to see me?"

"Yes! Madam Liu and the servant will go to the living room together."

He Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief and followed the servants into the Prince's Mansion.

After going through so many things, she regretted marrying Liu Chen. She married into the Prince's Mansion, but could not get the Prince's favor.

The noble status of Princess Consort would allow her to live a life of wealth and luxury.

It's too late to regret now, so I can only bite the bullet and walk down to the living room.

He Shulan sat in the main seat waiting for her.

"Sister." He Shuzhen changed her usual arrogance and put on a gentle smile.

He Shuzhen's calling of "sister" did not bring her and He Shulan closer, but instead made He Shulan even more wary.

After all, the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he has no good intentions: "What do you want from me?"

He Shuzhen felt very uncomfortable about having to beg He Shulan so humbly, and hesitated for a long time.

For Chen Lerong, he put aside his high self-esteem: "My mother's case has caused quite a stir. I think you must have heard about it. She couldn't stand the stimulation and went crazy in the cell. I came to you specifically to ask you to help get my mother out of the cell."

He Shulan did not reply immediately. This matter was neither difficult nor simple: "My stepmother's matter involves treason. I need to discuss it with the prince."

He Shuzhen felt that He Shulan was just trying to put her off. "No matter what, you are still a member of the He family. It's embarrassing for you to have such a thing happen to my mother. Helping her is helping yourself."

He Shulan really didn't care. She was now the princess of a county, and no one dared to say anything to her. "It's not that I won't help, it's that this matter involves treason. If I help my stepmother, I will be an accomplice and will be implicated."

He Shuzhen completely lost her patience and tore off her disguise: "I think you just don't want to help."

He Shuzhen had guessed it, but He Shulan did not admit it: "Don't make me sound so cruel. After all, we have lived under the same roof for so long. Go back and wait. Once I have discussed it with the prince, I will let the servants notify you."

He Shuzhen was so angry that she couldn't speak and left the Prince's Mansion angrily.

Xiaoyu helped He Shuzhen walk onto the carriage and kept comforting her: "Madam, don't be angry. The Princess of the County wants to discuss your mother's matter with the Prince of the County. There is still room for return."

At this time He Shuzhen calmed down. She knew, of course, that what worried her was that He Shulan didn't actually want to help and was just saying that to get rid of her.

"It's useless to say anything now. My mother's fate is in He Shulan's hands. I hope He Shulan can save my mother from the cell for the sake of her own reputation."

……

Chun Xia asked He Shulan with an unhappy look on her face: "Princess, you are not really planning to save Chen Lerong."

"How is that possible? He Shuzhen came to me and asked me to see her. Now, getting too close to Chen Lerong is not good for me."

At this point, He Shulan began to worry again: "He Shuzhen is right. I am also from the He Mansion. Chen Lerong has made things too ugly, and I can't let it go. Although I don't care, the face of the Prince's Mansion still needs to be maintained."

This made Chunxia confused: "So are you going to help or not?"

"My opinion does not count in this matter. We need to discuss it with the prince." He Shulan thought for a long time and decided to ask the prince on behalf of He Shuzhen.

"So you didn't lie to the Second Miss. Then why was she so angry and even said you were lying to her?" Chunxia grumbled.

He Shulan smiled warmly: "I don't have a good relationship with her, so it's normal for her not to believe me. I don't need her to believe me either."

As the master and servant were talking, the prince walked in from outside.

He Shulan stepped forward, picked up the teacup on the table, handed it to the prince, and said softly, "It's so early today, and you've finished the court affairs."

"Well! You are here, waiting for me to come back." The prince took the teacup and drank it all.

"I want to discuss with you about Chen Lerong's case. Her case has been closed. She is not dead, but she has gone crazy. He Shuzhen found me and asked me to help rescue Chen Lerong from the cell."
