Tong Xiling was so shocked when she heard this that she couldn't even breathe. Not long after she was carried out by the guards, she heard Chu Heyi shouting from the attic, "Princess Ling, Madam Wen, I've brought Prince Yuanqi and Young Master Wen back to you!"

The fear of death dissipated, and new anger came, and Tong Xiling almost bit her teeth. Then, the pain in her hands became sharp, sweeping across her body, and as blood dripped, cold sweat also slid down her body.

The two mothers ran down from the attic regardless of anything, almost falling down several times, and finally came to Chu Heyi.

Without even bothering to salute her, he looked behind her and saw the two children who were injured and badly tortured. They were carried back by two guards and were now on the backs of the two guards.

When the two mothers ran over, the two guards took the children off their backs and placed them in the arms of the two mothers.

Prince Yuan Qi's face was bruised and swollen, and he was very weak. He opened his eyes and looked at Princess Ling. Tears as big as beans instantly came out of his eyes. He said in a childish voice, "Mother, I want to eat pork elbow..."

Princess Ling's tears fell, and she hugged the child tightly in her arms: "Mother will ask someone to make it for you. Let's go home and we can eat it when we get home."

Prince Yuanqi said only that one sentence before fainting in the arms of Princess Ling. Princess Ling had a slender figure and she actually picked up her eight-year-old son in one go, saying that they wanted to go back to the palace quickly.

Chu Heyi said, "Auntie Wang Ling, Prince Yuanqi is seriously injured. Send him to the palace first and ask the imperial physician to treat him. It won't be too late to return to the palace when he gets better."

After rescuing the two children, Chu Heyi wanted to send them back to the palace for treatment as soon as possible, but thinking that the two mothers might be going crazy with anxiety, she sent the children here first since the distance was not far.

The condition of the young master of the Wen family was not much better. The little guy had multiple wounds on his body and had been hungry for many days. He could only eat small foods to stay alive.

Those people wanted to create the illusion that "Chu Heyi tortured and abused the two children and finally killed them with a sword." Therefore, the chubby children who disappeared on the day they disappeared are now alive, but have been tortured to death.

At this time, the five-year-old Master Wen opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Madam Wen for a long time before he uttered a sentence: "Mother, I miss you so much..."

These words seemed to be spoken with all her strength. Madam Wen felt her heart broken. On the way back to the palace, she kept holding the child in her arms. Even when her dowry nanny wanted to take her place, she refused.

Behind them, Xie Lin also came down from the attic. While walking up the stairs, his eyes were always on Chu Heyi. Only after he was sure that she had no wounds did Xie Lin breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking in front of Chu Heyi, Xie Lin opened his arms and hugged her.

Chu Heyi was stunned. She had always taken the initiative to hug Xie Lin before, but now Xie Lin had learned to take the initiative. She also raised her arms, wrapped them around his waist, and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Xie Lin whispered in her ear: "He Yi is really amazing."

Xie Lin kissed her on the cheek, then stepped away, took her hand, and said as if no one was around: "Let's go back to the palace. It's late at night and it's cold outside."

Chu Heyi followed him out for several steps before he touched his face and wondered what Xie Lin had done just now?

After the fight, Chu Heyi's body was covered in blood. After returning to the palace, she quickly took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

When she came out, Madam Rui told her, "Prince Yuanqi and the young master of the Wen family have been sent to Yongxin Palace. The imperial physician Gan Sui has been invited to see them. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also there."

"Is Baihua injured?" Chu Heyi asked as he walked towards Yongxin Palace.

Aunt Rui replied, "No one was injured. Baihua went to take a shower and change clothes. She was covered in blood."

When Chu Heyi arrived at Yongxin Palace, Xie Lin immediately went forward to greet her, holding her hand and saying to her, "The Imperial Doctor Gan Sui has examined Prince Yuanqi and Young Master Wen. They are not in danger of life and will recover in ten days to half a month."

Chu Heyi said "Oh" and her heart was finally at ease. When she found the two children, they were already covered in wounds, just waiting to be stabbed with the final sword.

So, she used the fire and the sudden arrival of soldiers to divert the attention of Xu Tiansheng and others, and then used the scarecrows prepared in advance to quickly replace the two children.

Baihua screamed and shouted after being locked in the attic in order to make Xu Tiansheng and the others believe her and let down their guard.

After rescuing the two children, she led other soldiers to surround the area. When Xie Lin and his men arrived at the yard, Xu Tiansheng and his men retreated and were captured by her.

The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. She was taking advantage of both the information gap and the time gap. She was completely fighting against the King of Hell for her life. If she had made the slightest mistake or was a little late, the two children would have died.

Chu Heyi went forward to see the two children. Their injuries had been treated by Gan Sui and other imperial doctors. They had also taken medicine and were now asleep with peaceful faces.

The two mothers stayed by their side the whole time, not daring to even blink, let alone go down to rest.

Chu Heyi didn't try to persuade them. For these two mothers, they would probably only feel at ease if they kept an eye on their children, and this situation would probably last for a long time.

Only time can soothe the fear in their hearts. Any other words are pale and powerless at this moment.

So, Chu Heyi and Xie Lin went back without saying much. Chu Heyi walked towards Changning Palace and Xie Lin followed.

Chu Heyi asked, "The Queen and the Princess were also involved in what happened tonight. I heard that the Queen also killed a palace maid named Huan'er. Why? I heard that Huan'er has been favored by the Princess and the Queen since she entered the palace."

Xie Lin then told Chu Heyi the story of Wu Cairen and asked her, "Who do you think Huan'er belongs to?"

Chu Heyi recalled what Runxue had done in her past and present lives, and he was certain in an instant: "Huan'er must be Runxue's person. Runxue wants to emulate Wu Cairen and ascend the throne as the empress!"

Xie Lin nodded slightly, he thought so too.

"But what was Runxue's purpose in sending Huan'er to Princess Pingyang and the Queen?" Chu Heyi said, and when she saw Xie Lin's smiling face, her mind instantly became clear.

"Runxue knows that you and the queen don't get along. Although you are biological mother and son, you are like enemies. So she sent Huan'er into the harem and asked Huan'er to tell the story of Wu Cairen's ascension to the throne in front of the queen and the princess. This is to instigate the queen and the princess to compete with you for the throne. While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. This is Runxue's idea."

Xie Lin smiled, but his face was cold: "But tonight, the Queen took the opportunity to kill Huan'er in front of me."

"The Queen is really quick to react. She actually guessed that Huan'er was a spy sent by Runxue... But did the Queen really kill Huan'er for the sake of Daqi's stability?" Chu Heyi asked, the answer was already obvious.

Just as she was about to continue speaking, Chu Heyi discovered that she and Xie Lin had walked to the bed in Changning Palace without her knowing when. Xie Lin helped her take off her outer clothes, and she had already sat on the bed, while Xie Lin was taking off his clothes and was about to come up.

Chu Heyi: “…”

"Xie Lin, don't come here. You stayed in bed for five days after the last incident. This is not a joke!" Chu Heyi hurriedly stopped him.

Xie Lin froze completely.
