Chapter 117 Return to Beijing

In May, Jingyun and Jingyu were already more than seven months old. The two children have now learned new skills and can crawl.

Jingyun was very stable, climbing at a steady pace, and was very purposeful in where he wanted to go.

But Jingyu is not like that. She is in a hurry every day and no one knows what she is busy with. She crawls over here and touches a toy, sees the curtain over there move twice and quickly goes to grab the curtain, is dazzled by something and quickly goes over to take a look.

In short, this child is lively and active, and needs several maids to look after him, otherwise he will crawl away in the blink of an eye and no one will know where he is.

As the twins grew bigger, but Concubine Feng's belly showed no movement, the Queen couldn't help but get anxious. She didn't know whether she had given up on Concubine Feng or had thought of other ways. This time, she sent four beautiful concubines at once.

But Xiao Yunzhan was really too busy during this period. He spent almost the entire day in his study dealing with government affairs. He even didn't set foot in the backyard for two consecutive months. Even when he came during the day, he only took a quick look at the two children and left.

Although the queen was extremely anxious about this situation, it was a national affair after all, so she could not interfere too much in Xiao Yunzhan's sexual arrangements and could only wait anxiously in silence.

However, at the end of August, Song Yuning received good news that Song Yuwan and his wife were about to return to Beijing!

"It's only been three years, why are they suddenly coming back?" When Song Yuning heard the news, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

After all, he was able to return to Beijing in just three years. This was obviously not due to Lu Zhixing's own abilities and achievements. There must be someone secretly helping him behind the scenes.

"Could it be that... you deliberately called him back to the capital?" Song Yuning frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Yunzhan beside him in confusion.

Xiao Yunzhan nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Yes, it was indeed me who ordered him to come back."

Song Yuning's heart tightened, his face changed slightly, and he nervously held Xiao Yunzhan's hand: "Is something going to happen in the palace?" Xiao Yunzhan's actions were all for a reason. He brought Lu Zhixing back, which proved that the situation of the previous dynasty was going to change.

Xiao Yunzhan nodded slightly in agreement, and continued, "Yes, he may have been poisoned, a slow-acting poison, but with his cautious nature, he must have noticed it quickly.

He may have been detoxified by now. However, poison will eventually cause some damage to the body, and even after detoxification, it is difficult to fully recover. Therefore, it can be expected that his life span will not be long.

Song Yuning's heart moved, and she asked immediately: "Then, who poisoned it?" She almost knew who poisoned it, but she still couldn't be sure.

Xiao Yunzhan smiled, and after a moment, he softly replied, "Of course it's the beloved Concubine Yun."

Song Yuning was shocked, it was indeed so!

Xiao Yunzhan continued, "Once upon a time, Concubine Yun loved the Emperor so deeply that she even lost her sight. She had always been immersed in the love lies woven by the Emperor and had never noticed anything unusual. But now, the Bai family has gradually lost power, and the Emperor no longer cherishes this concubine as much as before.

Since Duke Dingguo has been able to carry the Duke Dingguo Mansion for so many years, he is naturally no ordinary person. He sees things more clearly than Concubine Yun. With a little guidance, Concubine Yun will definitely come around."

Song Yuning looked at Xiao Yunzhan: "But I'm afraid Duke Dingguo won't tell Concubine Yun the truth."

Putting aside other things, Duke Dingguo really loves his daughter, so even if he finds out the truth, he will not tell Concubine Yun about it, otherwise, he will be pushing Concubine Yun to death.

Therefore, this matter was definitely not said by Duke Dingguo, but someone told Concubine Yun through Duke Dingguo's mouth.

Xiao Yunzhan hugged Song Yuning tightly in his arms and said gently, "Ning'er is really smart. This incident was indeed my doing. I was the one who revealed the true cause of the Tenth Prince's death to Concubine Yun."

After saying this, Xiao Yunzhan lowered his head, gently lifted Song Yuning's chin, stared at her intently and affectionately, and asked softly, "Do you think my behavior is too cruel and ruthless?"

Song Yuning smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Yunzhan carefully, and replied in a relaxed tone: "That doesn't sound like something you would say."

Xiao Yunzhan was silent for a moment, still staring at Song Yuning quietly, and then said, "Of course I'm worried that Ning'er will be afraid of me because of this matter."

Song Yuning shook his head, gently stroked Xiao Yunzhan's cheek, and comforted him, "No, Concubine Yun was the culprit who killed your mother-in-law. What you did was just to avenge your mother. I don't think there is anything wrong with you.

I just want to know, is your plan flawless? The emperor is not stupid. What if he finds out that all this was planned by you? "Song Yuning didn't think Xiao Yunzhan's methods were cruel. She was more concerned about whether Xiao Yunzhan had left any clues.

"Don't worry, I know now that I am not alone. You and my child are behind me. I will never act rashly without absolute certainty." Xiao Yunzhan looked at Song Yuning seriously, his eyes firm and gentle.

Song Yuning reached out and hugged Xiao Yunzhan's waist, feeling his warmth and strength.

She whispered, "That's what I'm worried about. If it were just you and me, I wouldn't be afraid of risking everything. But now that we have Jingyun and Jingyu, I'm really scared. If that day ever comes, I must send the children away. Only then will I be at ease."

There was a slight tremor in her voice and tears glistened in her eyes. Only after having a child did Song Yuning know what a weak spot was.

Xiao Yunzhan really cared about them. He wanted that position, but not at all costs. This alone really touched Song Yuning.

It was the first time that Song Yuning took the initiative like this. Xiao Yunzhan was stunned for a moment, then hugged Song Yuning back.

Xiao Yunzhan gently stroked Song Yuning's hair and comforted her, "It's already my fault for dragging you into this storm, so don't worry, whether I succeed or not, I will prepare a way out for you."

Lu Zhixing is back, and Xiao Yunzhan will probably slowly emerge. The New Year is coming soon, and Li Jingwen also handed over all the dividends for a year and a half to Song Yuning.

A total of 700,000 taels of silver.

Facts have proved that Li Jingwen really has a talent for business.

"After the New Year, I will take Yuyao to Jiangnan. It will probably take a few years for me to come back, but don't worry, Princess. I will definitely send the silver on time every year."

As a businessman, Li Jingwen has a very high intuition in certain aspects. He realized that the capital would not be stable in the next few years. He did not want to get involved in the court and just wanted to make money quietly, so he wanted to stay away.

Song Yuning agreed: "Take good care of Yuyao. I heard she is pregnant?"

Li Jingwen and Song Yuyao have been married for a year, and Song Yuning only found out a few days ago that Yuyao was pregnant.

Li Jingwen smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's been almost two months. I will definitely take good care of her."
