"Brother, then my uncle and I will be separated from our flesh and blood from now on. Jin'er is sick, and we really can't live peacefully without taking care of him in person."

Zhang Jinghong said:

"Don't worry, you will return to Beijing with me when the time comes."

Pei Xiao couldn't hide his surprise:

"Your Majesty has lifted the ban on the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion?"

Zhang Jinghong shook his head:

"Yes and no. Eunuch Liu from Concubine Shu's palace has also come along. He will tell you the details tomorrow."

Hearing this, Marquis Jingnan and his wife were extremely distressed.

The next day, Eunuch Liu came as expected.

Not only did people come, they also brought a cart of medicinal herbs and several carts of daily necessities.

Eunuch Liu didn't come yesterday because he went out to purchase supplies.

Everyone in the mansion was very excited when they saw Eunuch Liu had a lot of things moved in. Pei Xiao and the Zhang couple were also very grateful for his thoughtfulness.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Liu!" Pei Xiao said politely.

Although Eunuch Liu was a member of the palace and a close confidant of Concubine Shu, he was not arrogant at all. Upon hearing this, he quickly said:

"You are not worthy of my words, Lord! I was ordered by the Concubine Shu to come and take care of Madam and the Lord's Mansion! This is my duty!"

He pointed at the cart of medicinal materials and said:

"When Her Majesty heard that Madam was injured, she was very concerned. This time, she specially asked me to bring some medicinal herbs to help Madam recover!"

Looking at the pile of things, Zhang felt proud and touched by her sister's concern for her. She said with concern:

"Are the queen and the prince in her belly safe and sound?"

Eunuch Liu gestured for them to go inside and talk.

Several people walked into the main hall and sat down. After dismissing the servants, Eunuch Liu said:

"There are countless people in the palace who don't want the queen to give birth to the prince in her belly. Because of the incident in the Bo Mansion, the queen had a grudge in her heart and was assassinated by someone."

Zhang was terrified and said in a trembling voice:

"How is the queen now? It's all my fault that I got her into trouble!"

Eunuch Liu said:

"Madam, don't worry. The queen and the prince in her belly are fine! The queen was worried that you would return to the capital one day. She was frightened when she heard about this from others, so she asked me to tell you the truth quietly. She let someone succeed on purpose."

"Your Majesty was very concerned about the fact that the Bo's Mansion bribed the Jinyiwei and the Silijian. The Queen said that she would wait for some time, so that Your Majesty could vent his anger before he could plead for mercy. This time, someone took action, so she deliberately fell into the trap and took advantage of Your Majesty's fear and pity to plead for the Bo's Mansion. Your Majesty then showed mercy and ordered the Bo's Mansion to move back to the capital with Lord Zhang and lift the confinement."

Pei Xiao frowned as he listened:

"The matter of the Earl's Mansion is a minor one, but the dragon heir in your womb is a major one. Your Majesty really shouldn't risk the dragon heir for the matter of the Earl's Mansion!"

Eunuch Liu said:

"My Lord, you don't know that when the Empress learned that Madam was injured and imprisoned, with no food or medicine, she felt extremely anxious and wanted to find a way to help the Lord's family escape from this predicament."

After hearing this, Pei Xiao felt that Concubine Shu was acting on impulse, but for Zhang's safety, she was even willing to risk her unborn child, which showed how much she cared about her sister.

Subconsciously, Zhang's position in his heart also increased several points.

Zhang, who was standing aside, had already burst into tears.

She and her sister have depended on each other since childhood and have a deep relationship.

It was heartbreaking to think that my sister, who was several years younger than me, had to worry about me and take risks even with a big belly.

Eunuch Liu continued:

"My Lord, the Queen asked me to tell you something."

As he spoke, he cleared his throat and said in the tone of Concubine Shu, "Sister is reckless and stupid, and has caused trouble for the mansion. I hope brother-in-law will bear with me."

Pei Xiao felt relieved.

Shufei is no longer the little girl who had to look at his face when she came to stay at Jingnan Marquis's mansion for a few days.

She is already one of the four concubines, and if she gives birth to a prince, she will definitely advance further and even become the queen mother in the future.

Such a noble person still values ​​his ideas so much, which shows that he still respects him in his heart.
