He had no idea what the water was, but it tasted like mountain spring water, but sweeter than mountain spring water, without a trace of bitterness, and didn't feel like medicine.

If Qingxi hadn't brought him a water bag in time last time, he would have been unable to hold on when the poison was taking effect.

It has been more than a month since the last time the poison broke out, and the cold poison has not recurred.

In the past, the poison would attack him once every seven days. This made him realize that the water Li Mengyue gave him was not simple.

However, he also knew that this water was of great importance, so he didn't tell anyone. Even Doctor Luo was just surprised at how he managed to suppress the cold poison.

Even if he and Li Mengyue didn't have children, just because the water could help him suppress the cold poison, he wouldn't do anything to Li Mengyue. On the contrary, he would protect her.

This was also the reason why he went to Xinghua Village and went to look for the person himself after learning that Li Mengyue had been kidnapped.

What he didn't expect was that Li Mengyue gave him such a big surprise, giving him the opportunity to become a parent, raise the child himself and enjoy the happiness of family.

And because of his background, he never experienced what it was like to have brothers since he was a child. All he had was jealousy and assassination.

Even if the emperor favored him, he was still under pressure and could not go against public opinion and directly make him the crown prince.

He also had to travel far to the frontier, personally fight on the battlefield and kill the enemy, and make countless military achievements before he could gain a firm foothold.

However, he never regretted going to the military camp. It was his long military career that allowed him to slowly find the value of being a human being, instead of staying in the capital and just engaging in intrigue.

But he knew that as long as he went to the capital, the issue of establishing a crown prince, which everyone was most reluctant to mention, would be brought to the surface.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been drugged as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

Thinking about it now, he no longer felt as angry as before, but instead felt a little relieved.

If he hadn't been drugged, he wouldn't have touched Li Mengyue.

Without Li Mengyue's superb medical skills, she would have lost her life the day the poison took effect, let alone being able to see her own child die.

And his mother, the Queen Mother, would be so heartbroken upon hearing the news of his death.

As a result, he was lucky enough to meet Li Mengyue, who was being plotted against.

As for this refugee incident, it not only affects whether tens of thousands of refugees can start a new life, but will also bring about earth-shaking changes in the government.

He knew that he was the emperor's preferred candidate for crown prince, but the emperor could not do whatever he wanted and was constrained in every way.

However, he had a vague intuition that he could help the disaster victims live a stable life without working hard to resettle them.

And this confidence did not come from the 500,000 catties of grain sent by the emperor, nor the 600,000 catties of grain provided by his cousin Choi, but the 100,000 catties of grain given by Li Mengyue.

You have to know that even though he had countless properties and earned a lot of money every day, his expenses were quite huge. After so many years, he didn't save much money at all.

We spent a lot of money in Guangping Prefecture some time ago, so how can we come up with a huge amount of money to resettle the victims?

Although he didn't know where Li Mengyue got the food, he had a hunch and an inexplicable confidence that taking care of the disaster victims would not be a difficult task in Li Mengyue's hands.

Thinking of this, Xie Ruiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It seems that this time I really have to eat gigolo."

"Knock, knock, knock! Master, it's time for dinner."

"Enter!"

“Squeak!”

Then Qingxuan entered the room with a tray, put the food on the table, and Xie Ruiyuan also sat down.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Xie Ruiyuan knew that they were not made by Qingxuan.

Compared to Qingxi, Qingxuan's cooking skills are indeed better, but only slightly.

As long as the rice is cooked and I don’t have diarrhea after eating it, don’t even think about whether it tastes good or not.

"Master, please try it and see if the roast duck tastes good."

Xie Ruiyuan picked up the chopsticks and put them down.
