Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 141: Feeling like facing a formidable enemy

Seeing Yun Fuling's serious expression, Xiao Jingyi also said, "Yes, father, you ate too much cantaloupe this afternoon."

Jing** is a greedy person, but he has to abide by various rules on weekdays, even his eating habits are limited to three meals a day.

If he eats a little more of something he likes, a large group of people will advise him against it.

I finally got the chance today, so I took the excuse that Yun Jingmo loved to eat and ate a few more slices of cantaloupe.

Seeing Yun Fuling and Xiao Jingyi mentioned this matter, Jing ** didn't take it to heart. Isn't it just eating a few more slices of cantaloupe? How big a deal could it be?

He waved his hand nonchalantly and said perfunctorily, "I understand."

Xiao Jingyi was worried. After Gao Youfu escorted them out of the Purple Palace, he reminded him, "Eunuch Gao, remember to remind father to ask Ouyang Yuanzheng to come and see him later. Don't let father catch a cold."

Gao Youfu bowed and replied: "I understand, old servant."

After Xiao Jingyi and his party left, Gao Youfu returned to the Purple Palace and found an opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, why don't you summon Ouyang Yuanzheng to come over?"

Jing ** was a little unhappy when he heard this, and frowned and said: "I just ate a few more slices of cantaloupe. I know my own body!"

Upon seeing this, Gao Youfu dared not say anything more.

Before Xiao Jingyi left the palace, the news that he had returned to Beijing with Yun Fuling and her son and had entered the palace to meet Emperor Jing had spread to the mansions of various powerful families in the capital.

The Third Prince's Mansion.

The Third Prince threw the teacup at Mr. Wen and said angrily, "Didn't you say that Xiao Jingyi would definitely die?"

Mr. Wen was covered in tea and looked quite embarrassed.

He immediately stood up and apologized, his lowered eyes hiding the anger in his eyes. It was only because he tried hard to hold it back that he didn't lose his temper on the spot.

"Prince Yi was indeed poisoned."

"The poison is called Red Sun Man. If you apply this poison to a weapon, even if you use the poisoned weapon to make a small cut on a person, the poison will enter the body through the blood and flow throughout the body. The wound will not be able to stop bleeding, and the person will eventually die from the bleeding."

"There is no antidote for this poison. It is impossible for someone who has been poisoned by it to still be alive!"

Mr. Wen was also surprised that Xiao Jingyi was able to remain safe and sound after being poisoned by the Red Sun Man.

He had previously boasted in front of the Third Prince, but now that he was slapped in the face, he could only explain patiently.

Otherwise, if the trust of the Third Prince is lost, all subsequent plans will come to naught.

"Could it be that there is someone with Prince Yi who is good at medicine and can cure the Red Sun Man?"

Although Mr. Wen didn't know what the inside story was, he could only direct the attention in this direction at this moment.

He also had such a guess in his heart. After all, Hong Ri Man was not an ordinary poison. He had seen the first person who survived after being poisoned by Hong Ri Man.

The third prince sat back in his chair and rubbed the jade ring on his finger.

"If this is true, it will be even more difficult to get rid of Xiao Jingyi in the future!"

With a doctor around who can even cure a poison as severe as Red Riman, poisoning Xiao Jingyi won't work in the future.

Besides, Xiao Jingyi has now returned to the capital, so it would be even more difficult to assassinate him in the capital.

If I had known this would happen, I would have stopped hesitating and made up my mind to deal with him in the North.

It would be easier to clean up the traces if you died in such a place where the emperor is far away.

But now, Xiao Jingyi not only returned to the capital safely, but also brought back a child.

According to the news from the palace, he is Xiao Jingyi's biological son, and has already been cleared by His Majesty. He will go to the Taimiao to pay homage and recognize his ancestors on a chosen day.

Offspring have always been an important bargaining chip for princes to seize the throne.

Xiao Jingyi has always been favored by His Majesty, and now that he has an heir, won't his position be even more secure?

Unfortunately, offspring are the third prince’s weakness.

Since he got married, he has only given birth to three daughters and no son.

But Xiao Jingyi had a son before him.

How could the Third Prince not be anxious?

Mr. Wen said at this time: "Don't worry, Third Prince. The assassination of Prince Yi has been blamed on the Second Prince. Even if he is still alive, it has nothing to do with us."

"It's a pity that I couldn't poison him with Red Japanese Comics, but I may have another chance in the future."

"Besides, there are many people who want him dead. Why don't you just sit back and watch the fight?"

The third prince's eyes lit up, "You mean the eldest prince?"

The crown prince has always been the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and the queen had no children, so Emperor Jing had no legitimate son.

Therefore, as the eldest son, the prince has an innate advantage.

But Prince Jing values ​​the seventh prince Xiao Jingyi the most, so how could the eldest prince be willing to accept that?

Mr. Wen continued to offer advice, "And Your Highness should also visit the Queen Mother more often."

"With the support of the Queen Mother and the Cui family, Your Highness, why should you worry about not being able to accomplish great things?"

The third prince's mother, Concubine Cui, was from the Cui clan, which was the empress dowager's maternal family.

If the Queen Mother had not interfered in the matter of establishing a legitimate heir before, the death of Prince Jiangzhou undoubtedly left a thorn in her heart.

If they are not your biological children, then they are not your biological children.

The rift has already arisen, so when it comes to establishing the heir, the empress dowager will certainly favor the third prince who has the blood of the Cui family.

After all, if the third prince came to the throne, the Cui family would surely continue to prosper and become extremely powerful.

Thinking of the Queen Mother and Concubine Cui in the palace, as well as the Cui family behind him, the Third Prince immediately regained his confidence.

The Third Prince was discussing the next course of action with Mr. Wen, while the other princes also gathered their advisers to deal with the situation.

All the princes treated Xiao Jingyi's return as a formidable enemy.

However, their opponent Xiao Jingyi had already brought Yun Fuling and her son back to Prince Yi's Mansion.

The main gate of Prince Yi's Mansion was wide open, and the servants who received the news gathered in the front yard to welcome the prince, princess, and young master back to the mansion.

After the servants had paid their respects, Xiao Jingyi summoned a round-faced eunuch and said to Yun Fuling, "This is Steward Yuan. He is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace."

"Butler Yuan is the person my mother left for me."

"Since I was born, Steward Yuan has been by my side. Later, when I was crowned king and opened my own palace, he also came with me to the palace. He is a person I trust!"

"If you want to take care of the affairs of this mansion in the future, you can take over. If you don't want to, Steward Yuan will help you share the burden."

Yun Fuling nodded and looked at Steward Yuan, "Steward Yuan, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the palace affairs in the future."

Steward Yuan bowed and said, "Princess, your words are too polite. You can just call me Xiao Yuanzi."

Xiao Yuanzi was his name in the palace. Later, he followed Prince Yi into the palace and helped the prince manage all the affairs in the palace. Then he got the new name of Steward Yuan.

When Yun Fuling heard the name "Xiao Yuanzi", combined with his round face, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

When Steward Yuan saw that his prince had married a princess and had a little prince, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

If Concubine Lan were still alive, she would definitely be very happy to see the prince get married and have children.
