Chapter 429 Is This Too Risky?
"Second brother!" Yuan Huaihong couldn't help but become anxious.
"Empress Jing..." At this time, Li Suining said, "Do you want to go outside?"
Concubine Jing smiled and shook her head, "No, mother cannot leave here."
"What if we can leave?" the little girl asked chuckled. "It's snowing, and the harem is so beautiful. Doesn't your Majesty want to go out and take a look?"
Concubine Jing was knitting gloves. Upon hearing this, she stopped and looked towards the door with a blank look, as if she was thinking about something.
After a while, she pulled the corner of her mouth and touched the little boy's cheek, "It doesn't matter if mother is imprisoned here for the rest of her life, as long as Leping and brother are safe."
Everyone could tell from her words that she wanted to go out, but for the sake of her children, she was willing to stay here.
The little girl looked at Yuan Xiaonian with her big eyes, her eyes clearly saying, "Look, even for Concubine Jing, the Second Prince shouldn't refuse the Crown Prince's help."
Yuan Xiaonian looked irritated and said to Li Suining in a cold voice, "Alright, you can leave now."
"Xiao Nian!" Concubine Jing shook her head at her son, "Don't chase my sister away."
"It's okay, we're going back soon." The little girl stood up and prepared to leave. "Empress Jing, Second Prince, I'll come see you later."
Concubine Jing smiled and stood up to see her off. "Okay, it's too cold here, Mother. You don't have to come here so often. Just come back when the weather warms up."
"I want to come." Li Suining said with his eyes curved, then bowed his hands obediently and left with Yuan Huaihong.
Concubine Jing and Yuan Xiaonian stood at the door and watched them disappear from their sight.
"Mother, let's go back!" Yuan Xiaonian saw that Concubine Jing was still standing there, so he took the initiative to step forward and support her. "It's too cold outside."
Concubine Jing remained standing, staring outside. After a while, she slowly spoke, "It's just as cold inside."
Yuan Xiaonian frowned and looked at her. In fact, he knew that his mother... had never been crazy. Even when she was imprisoned in the cold palace, she pretended to be crazy in order to survive.
It's just that I've been pretending for so long, now...
Concubine Jing never looked at him, and then continued, "Are you really planning to hide in this cold palace forever?"
"Isn't it good?" Yuan Xiaonian stopped urging Concubine Jing and stood beside her, also looking towards the outside of the cold palace. "Of all the huge harems, my son feels that this is the safest place, even safer than... the Queen's Kunning Palace."
"Perhaps." Concubine Jing sighed, "Mother is already old. There are some things that Mother cannot get for you. From the moment Mother chose to hide in the cold palace to survive, Mother had already lost."
She finally turned around and walked back slowly, "The rest is up to you."
Yuan Xiaonian paused, then quickly caught up, respectfully supported Concubine Jing, and went back to the house together.

After Li Suining and Yuan Huaihong returned to the Eastern Palace, they went to the study together.
Yuan Huaihong was obviously worried about Yuan Xiaonian's refusal to agree, "This second child is too stubborn."
The little dumpling nodded in agreement.
"But Sister Suining said that this will succeed, right?" Yuan Huaihong had obviously begun to unconsciously trust Xiaotuanzi's prediction.
Li Suining nodded. She had already seen the outcome of this matter. The Crown Prince would definitely be able to make the Second Prince and Concubine Jing leave the cold palace.
Yuan Huaihong was in trouble again, "Then how can I convince the second brother?"
Little Dumpling shook her head blankly; her little head really couldn't figure it out.
However, she did have an idea, "Brother Crown Prince, even if Brother Second Prince didn't agree, if he saw me or Brother Baoyu fall into the water, would he turn a blind eye?"
Yuan Huaihong instantly understood what she meant, but if so, would it be too risky?
Moreover, he soon realized one thing, "You fell into the water"
This was not in his plan.
"Sister Suining, it doesn't make much sense whether you or I do it. At the moment, it seems that my fifth brother is the most suitable person." After all, Yuan Huaihong didn't want Li Suining to suffer as well.
"But..." Little Tuanzi had no intention of interfering at first. After all, the situation at hand was different. "But if we let Baoyu fall into the water without telling the Second Prince, will the Imperial Concubine agree?"
Yuan Huaihong was silent. He was almost certain that Concubine Yi would not agree.
"But even if you two come together..." He still felt that Concubine Yi would not agree. "Forget it, let's think of a way to convince the Second Brother. Maybe we can find a way tomorrow."
Little Dumpling nodded. She was not sure that she could convince the prince, so she could only wait until dark and ask Xingxing what the result was.
——
After dinner, Li Suining told Xingxing his idea and soon got a positive answer.
She immediately went to tell Yuan Huaihong happily, "Brother Crown Prince, don't worry. Tomorrow morning, we will go to find Concubine Yi. She will agree to let Brother Baoyu cooperate with our action. Moreover, our action will be successful by tomorrow evening. Brother Second Prince really can't turn a blind eye to us falling into the water."
"Really?" Yuan Huaihong was overjoyed, but couldn't help but confirm, "Do you have to come too?"
Little Dumpling nodded and said, "Brother Crown Prince, this is my choice. Perhaps this thing will succeed without me, but I want to join in."
"Okay." After hearing what Xiaotuanzi said, Yuan Huaihong had no choice but to agree, and confirmed again and again, "After this, you and Baoyu will be safe and you won't get sick, right?"
"When the time comes, Yonghua Palace and our East Palace will just need to prepare things to ward off the cold in advance. It won't be a big deal." The little dumpling obviously knew everything.
"Okay, that's it!" Yuan Huaihong said sincerely, "Sister Suining, if you can really help Concubine Jing and the Second Prince, I will thank you on their behalf."
The little girl immediately shook her head and said, "You're welcome, Prince. I want to help them too."
At the same time, in the cold palace, Yuan Xiaonian left under the cover of night. He ran all the way, very fast, and soon arrived at the palace where Wenren Li and Fuxing lived.
He didn't rush in. He waited for a while and made sure that there was no problem before jumping off the high wall and going to find Wen Ren Li first.
"Who?" Wen Renli heard the knock on the door and immediately looked at Fuxing opposite him vigilantly.
"It's me!" Yuan Xiaonian's voice sounded in a low voice, "Open the door!"
Wen Renli hurried forward, opened the door, and invited Yuan Xiaonian in. "Second Prince, please come in. Fuxing and I are discussing the matters concerning the completion of the Imperial Master Hall. The order you conveyed to Fuxing last time..."
"No need." Yuan Xiaonian said coldly.
"Yes," Wen Renli was obviously a little surprised. "Don't worry, the Second Prince doesn't want to leave the cold palace. As long as Fuxing and I ask the emperor on the day when the Imperial Master Hall is completed, the emperor will definitely agree."
