Mo Qiyuan folded the paper and placed it on the dragon table, then said to Wei Lingfeng:

"He is indeed Prince An's man. Please investigate this matter thoroughly for me and see if he has any other plans."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

Wei Lingfeng took his leave after receiving the order. Mo Qiyuan looked at him leaving and whispered:

"Prince An".

…

Wei Lingfeng was extremely efficient in his work. Within a few days, he obtained some information and immediately went to the palace to report.

"Your Majesty, the secret sentry I arranged near Prince An's Mansion intercepted an important message this morning. Please review it."

Mo Qiyuan took the message he handed over, opened it, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

"Oh, he actually dared to collaborate with the enemy and betray his country, asking the Northern Rong to send troops to attack Da Qi. How foolish! Did he think that if the Northern Rong helped him, he could secure the throne? He is just making things easier for others."

Mo Qiyuan looked at the message asking for help from the King of Beirong, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

"Wei Lingfeng, go check when he started contacting Beirong. I think the relationship between Prince An and Beirong is not that simple. Maybe they have been in contact for a long time. Otherwise, why would Prince An ask Beirong to send troops?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Wei Lingfeng's clear eyes, and then he thought of something.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that Prince An might be involved in your previous assassination?"

Wei Lingfeng was Mo Qiyuan's trusted minister. He had been planning to accompany him on the previous hunting trip in the forest.

However, before leaving, he suddenly suffered from acute abdominal pain, so he had to recuperate at home and was unable to go. Otherwise, with his careful and cautious character, Mo Qiyuan might not have fallen into the trap and almost lost his life that time.

Speaking of this, Wei Lingfeng remembered.

On the first day of his hunting trip to the forest, he went to Zuixianlou in the capital and had a drink with his men.

After returning home, he began to suffer from abdominal pain, and so did his men. Each of them was in so much pain that they couldn't even get out of bed.

He thought someone had poisoned their food, but the doctor came and diagnosed it and said it was not poisoning.

It was caused by the incompatible foods they ate, so Wei Lingfeng just thought it was an accident and didn't think too much about the problem.

A few days later, just as he recovered, he received another secret summons from the emperor.

After entering the palace to meet the emperor, he learned that the emperor had encountered an assassin while hunting, so he began to investigate the matter secretly according to the emperor's arrangements.

So he completely ignored this little thing.

Now that the emperor brought up the matter again and indicated that Prince An might also be involved, Wei Lingfeng remembered it.

That Zuixianlou is the property of Princess An’s family.

If Prince An wanted to tamper with their food to prevent him from accompanying the emperor, it would be perfectly convenient.

By utilizing the incompatible properties of food, you can not only achieve your goal successfully, but also avoid arousing suspicion.

So now that I think about it carefully, his sudden abdominal pain was not an accident.

Thinking of this, Wei Lingfeng said to Mo Qiyuan again:

"Your Majesty, I also think it's very likely. Do you remember that time when we were hunting in the forest? I suddenly had a stomachache and was unable to accompany you. It was because I ate a bad meal at Zuixianlou, run by Princess An's family. Now I think this matter is probably related to Prince An."

Mo Qiyuan was a little surprised to hear about this.

He knew that Wei Lingfeng had suddenly fallen ill, so he replaced the accompanying personnel.

Now hearing him say this, Mo Qiyuan became even more certain that Prince An had been connected with Beirong for some time, but he didn't know how he got in touch with Beirong.

"Wei Lingfeng, have your men increase surveillance of Prince An's mansion. I'm afraid there are many spies from the Northern Rong in Da Qi. We weren't able to catch them last time. This time, if we follow Prince An's lead, we should get some unexpected results."

Wei Lingfeng's eagle-like eyes lit up, and his tone was full of respect: "Yes, I will be fully prepared."

…

Ye Jinyun knew nothing about these things in the previous dynasty.

As the days passed, her belly grew bigger.

After the New Year and the beginning of spring, she was about to give birth.

Mo Qiyuan was even more worried about her, so he doubled the number of guards outside Qingyue Palace and Yingquan Palace to protect Ye Jinyun tightly.

The Queen Mother also arranged for several midwives to live in Qingyue Palace and be on standby at all times.

Mo Qiyuan sent people to check the background of these people and found no problems before agreeing to let them deliver Ye Jinyun's baby.

Not to mention Lin Qingtang and Yu Wan'er.

Except for sleeping in his room, he kept a close eye on Ye Jinyun at all other times, fearing that something might happen to her.

The last time Ye Jinyun was trapped in a fire, the two of them were stopped by the guards and were not allowed to go near the back hall, so they just stood anxiously outside the Qiongxiang Pavilion. It was not until Mo Qiyuan brought Ye Jinyun back and met them on the road that they felt relieved.

From then on, the two of them followed Ye Jinyun everywhere, wherever Ye Jinyun went, they followed.

Seeing that everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy, Ye Jinyun was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She just gave birth to a child, why did they have to be like this?

Today is the same

"No, Qingtang, you're going too far. You even followed me to the toilet. Could it be that someone else came out of that night-scented incense barrel to harm me?"
