Wen Songzhi was framed by his stepmother, and was then grounded by the Duke. He had been beaten and poisoned before, and his health had never been good.
It would have become more and more powerful, but Xiao Xian went to see him once and expressed his closeness and protection to him. Then Shen Mingzhu asked Xing Linchun to take him to see him personally, and also left antidote medicine.
Although it was not revealed that Mrs. Cui was the one who ordered the poisoning, they at least gave Mrs. Cui a warning. If she dared to continue to engage in small tricks, they were not afraid to expose it and let the Duke know about it.
Mrs. Cui didn't dare to do anything for the time being, so Wen Songzhi's injury healed quickly.
But even after he recovered, the Duke refused to let him out. He forced him to learn the rules in the mansion and even asked him to study, saying that he had to read all the prescribed books before he could go out.
Doesn't this cost his life?
So Wen Songzhi asked for help, hoping that Shen Mingtang would invite him to a party, but Shen Mingtang would not take the initiative to invite him because of Shen Mingzhu's instructions.
They all unanimously decided that Wen Songzhi needed to face the complicated family and confront Mrs. Cui on his own, instead of blindly scorning and evading.
Otherwise, Mrs. Cui will only get worse.
Moreover, Shen Mingzhu knew that Wen Songzhi still had illusions about the Queen. She always thought that the Queen loved him the most, and the removal of the two secret guards was just to warn and spur him, and had no other meaning.
He was waiting for the Queen to speak to release him.
But Shen Mingzhu still wanted him to see clearly that the Queen's kindness to him was a simple effort rather than a carefully considered choice.
The Queen is kind to him, she can show him the kind of unscrupulous pampering that she cannot give to her son, and she can pamper a child as she pleases.
But when this child grew up, he was no longer the child in her mind, but grew into an adult.
Then the empress's childlike complex will naturally no longer exist, and she will still be worried about whether the grown-up Wen Songzhi will go against her biological son.
After all, women are still selfish. They will only think about their own sons and plan for their own sons. They will never sincerely put other people's sons above their own.
Wen Songzhi had a good relationship with Xiao Xian, and Xiao Che had a falling out with Xiao Xian. Any woman who was the empress would make the same choice.
Therefore, Shen Mingzhu felt that Wen Songzhi would definitely fall into trouble with the Queen.
Therefore, he did not deal with Mrs. Cui, maybe because he had no requirements for Mrs. Cui, so he was not disappointed, so he did not think of dealing with her. He just disliked her and didn't want to look at her.
But his feelings for the Queen were different. He cared about the Queen and even transferred a large part of his attachment to his mother to the Queen.
That's why he looked so angry and allowed himself to be framed and tortured by Mrs. Cui.
He was probably angry with the Empress, hoping that the Empress would relent, and then take the initiative to return the secret guard to him, and asked Mrs. Cui not to go too far, and let the Duke release him.
But up to now, he still hasn't waited for the empress's amnesty order.
Shen Mingzhu felt that he might be looking for help from Shen Mingtang.
Shen Mingtang shook his head, "Although Wen Songzhi was having a hard time, he didn't come to me later. I think he was already reflecting on it. I came to you because of that Yun Xiaoran."
