Xie Xueqing looked at the direction he left and sighed in her heart.

I hope I have given enough time to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so that he can make adequate arrangements.

When Yan Jin woke up, he subconsciously sniffed and smelled a faint scent of osmanthus.

It smells so good!

How can it smell so good!

At this time, she was still a little sleepy and looked at her mother beside her in a daze.

"Mom, do you smell the fragrance of cakes?"

"It looks like it was made by Meng Qinian, the palace pastry chef."

Xie Xueqing looked at the food box, then looked at her daughter who was still half asleep, and knew that she was speaking purely on instinct.

For a moment, I couldn't help but want to tease her.

"There's no smell of pastries at all. You're smelling it wrongly. You must be dreaming."

Yan Jin sniffed subconsciously, feeling that she was not mistaken.

But when he saw his mother's calm face, he suddenly felt that he must have smelled it wrong. After all, this was a dream, how could there be the smell of pastries?

Thinking of this, Yan Jin closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.

Xie Xueqing was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that her daughter would be so obedient.

At this time, inside the palace.

After the prince personally wiped the emperor's body, he saw the young eunuch coming in with a complicated expression, as if he had something to say to him.

He completed the last step in his hand and then followed the eunuch out.

"how?"

"Madam Xie and Miss Yan Jin are both safe and sound, but...Madam Xie has something to tell His Highness."

"What?"

Meng Qinian's eyes lit up slightly.

According to his speculations during this period, Xie Xueqing should also be able to hear his daughter's thoughts, otherwise it would be impossible for her to be one step ahead in everything.

Now that he asked someone to pass on a message to him, it must be because he heard Jin'er's thoughts, so he said that.

The young eunuch immediately said, "It's to tell you to be careful of the Second Prince and those around him."

"Second Prince..."

The prince muttered the name, and then a cold sweat broke out on his back.

He was busy with various things during this period and didn't even send anyone to keep an eye on the Second Prince and Concubine Rou.

In other words, both of them were unattended during this period, and it was possible that they did something.

Thinking of this, the prince's expression gradually became solemn.

My father was assassinated when I was still young.

If something happens to him then, the one who will benefit will be the Second Prince.

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but think of what he had heard Yan Jin say about his fate.

Since he already has the ability to hear other people's thoughts, he naturally won't let him die so easily.

Meng Qinian's expression turned cold.

After letting the eunuch beside him leave.

He looked into the dark corner.

"Go and find out what the second brother has been doing recently. If you can find out anything, be sure to bring back the evidence."

"yes!"

In the dark shadows, a cold figure appeared, knelt on one knee on the ground, and then disappeared following his command.

Meng Qinian looked at the place where the secret guard left, and a murderous look gradually rose in his eyes.

It would be better for his good brother to behave himself.

Otherwise, he doesn't mind eradicating the problem completely.

Since we are going to take action, we will definitely not give the other party any chance of survival.

The next day.

Yan Jin woke up from her confusion and saw her mother holding her. Thinking of her dream last night, she immediately spoke in a wronged tone.

"Mother, last night I dreamed that you took the prince's cakes and refused to let me eat them, and you lied to me that it was a dream."

Hearing her daughter's accusation, Xie Xueqing immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

Then he took out the food box from behind him and waved it in front of Yan Jin.

"Smell it, what is this?"

A faint fragrance filled her nose, and Yan Jin's eyes suddenly lit up. She immediately recognized that this was the pastry from the Prince's Palace. Most importantly, it tasted exactly the same as what she had dreamed of last night.

etc……

Exactly the same?

Yan Jin slowly looked towards her mother, then burst into tears.

"Mother, you don't love me anymore!"

"They didn't give me food and even lied to me."

Looking at his daughter with tears in her eyes, accusing him eagerly.

Xie Xueqing was at a loss for words for a moment.

But mostly I still find it kind of funny.

She had long expected her daughter to react like this, and now it really happened.

She reached out her hand, took out a piece of cake from the food box and fed it to her daughter, saying with a smile, "Mother didn't steal any of it. I saved it all for you!"

"Eating cakes too late will cause indigestion."

Yan Jin was originally a little unhappy, but after hearing what her mother said, her anger disappeared instantly.

She puffed up her cheeks and struggled for a long time before she finished eating all the pastries in her mouth. Then she said with satisfaction, "I forgive my mother."

"I know that mother still loves me."

After saying that, Yan Jin didn't forget to eat another piece of cake.

[Being able to eat delicious pastries in a place like this is simply heaven! ]

【Black Lotus is really good this time.】

I wish I could say this every day.

Yan Jin thought silently in his heart.

Xie Xueqing, who was standing by, fell silent as she listened to her daughter's thoughts.

Shouldn't I be thinking about how to get out now? Why am I eating now?

Next second.

[I don't have to go to school in this prison, and I can still eat delicious food. How great is that.]

Xie Xueqing couldn't help but hold his forehead for a moment.

She just knew it.

At this time, in the cold palace of the imperial palace.

Concubine Rou sat in the dilapidated house, feeling secretly excited when she thought about the scene of her son ascending the throne in the future.

She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and now it was finally here?

The Second Prince, sitting nearby, observed his mother's mood and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, mother. I've already made arrangements. Your Majesty has been eating poisons I've prepared these days. He'll be dead tomorrow!"

"Even these guards are my people. When His Majesty passes away, I will immediately take everyone under control."

"Even if the prince is popular, what good will it do? I will still win in the end."

After saying that, the second prince poured himself a glass of water. His young face showed an expression that was not in line with his age, and there was an indescribable steadiness and maturity in his behavior.

There's a subtle sense of disharmony, but I can't tell where it is.

Concubine Rou looked at her son's actions with a complicated expression, but it soon disappeared without a trace.

The prince was a little dull before, but later on, for some reason, he became more and more powerful.

She didn't dare to imagine the reason behind this, nor did she want to think about it. She just needed a powerful son.

At this time, a dark shadow was lying quietly on the beam. It did not disappear until the two of them blew out the candles and fell asleep.
