Recently, spies from the Ge Kingdom and the previous dynasty came to investigate from time to time, but he deliberately did not catch them.
Ten days later, when the spies of the Ge Kingdom who wanted to rescue Yelu De found out that their little prince was not in the town, King Yi had already reached the border of Kyoto.
The Ge State, which was originally planning to send an army, had to give up.
Then the emperor of Ge State got the news that Yelu De was secretly escorted to the capital of Daliang by King Yi, and he was furious.
But his most beloved youngest son was in Daliang's hands, so he could only suppress his anger and dared not take any action for the time being.
At the same time, he also sent a trusted minister to Daliang to try to find a way to bring Yelu De back to the State of Ge.
Xiao Hanzheng received the information from Ge State and knew that the safety of the town was no longer a problem.
He also led his men to build several fortifications and handed over the affairs of the town to the third prince.
Shi Qingluo also brought her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to teach the people who were specially assigned to learn the craft in the workshop, and they learned how to make cans, candles, soaps, etc.
They also handed over the workshop to the third prince, and followed Xiao Hanzheng back to Heyang County.
After returning to Heyang County, Xiao Hanzheng was busy dealing with county affairs and workshop matters.
Shi Qingluo was busy running around the villages, helping the villagers look after their planted crops, medicinal herbs, rubber flowers, etc., as well as their raised chickens, ducks and pigs.
As for geese, because of the existence of the goose king Daidai, all the geese raised now are sold to others as pets. Everyone in Heyang County consciously avoids eating goose meat.
Prince Jin fulfilled his previous promise and sent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to let Liang Mingyu cooperate with Xiao Hanzheng to build the road.
So not only was a section of the road from Heyang County to the north city built, but people were also recruited to start building a road to the capital.
This made the people of Heyang County very excited. Once the road was repaired, more merchants would come, the county would become more and more prosperous, and everyone's life would become better and better.
Time flies and more than a month has passed.
The weather gradually became colder and everyone changed into thick clothes.
That day, Xiao Hanzheng received news from the capital.
He sat on the sofa in the study and said to Shi Qingluo who was leaning next to him: "Ge Chunyi gave birth to a son."
Shi Qingluo was knitting a heart-shaped sweater for Xiao Hanzheng. When she heard this, she paused and said, "Then her tail will be able to stand up, right?"
"After giving birth to a son, has her treatment in the Second Prince's Mansion improved?"
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head, "No, the Second Prince didn't even go on the day she gave birth."
"When they heard it was a son, they didn't even go to take a look at him, and they had Ge Chunyi and her son moved to a side yard."
"There have been rumors in the Second Prince's mansion that Ge Chunyi had angered the Second Prince for some reason, which displeased him, and that's why he treated her and her son coldly."
Shi Qingluo was stunned for a moment, "Is it because of my scumbag father?"
Before, the Second Prince wanted to win over his scumbag father, so he was naturally nicer to Ge Chunyi.
Now that Ge Chunru has been kicked out of the Deputy Governor's Mansion by her scumbag father, the Second Prince sees that there is no hope of winning over his scumbag father, so he becomes extremely cold towards Ge Chunyi.
Xiao Hanzheng said: "This should be a possibility."
"But according to the news from my people, I feel like something is wrong with the Second Prince towards Ge Chunyi."
“It’s like it’s very uncomfortable.”
He thought for a moment and said, "Move Ge Chunyi to the most remote courtyard. I directly suspect that news of her illness will spread soon."
"Then not long after, both mother and son died of illness."
Shi Qingluo was stunned again, "Ah, does that mean the Second Prince can't stand seeing Ge Chunyi and her son staying in the Prince's Mansion?"
Is the second prince so cruel to his own son?
Xiao Hanzheng said: "He has no shortage of sons, so he should be very wary of ambitious and ruthless concubines like Ge Chunyi."
"So I don't care about my son either."
Then he changed the subject and said, "There is another possibility, although it is not so reliable, that son is not his."
"Based on the recent news from the Second Prince's Mansion, I always feel that the son doesn't look like the Second Prince, so he behaves like this."
Shi Qingluo was extremely surprised. "Why doesn't it look like the second prince's? Is Ge Chunyi so bold that she would directly cuckold the second prince?"
Xiao Hanzheng said with a somewhat speechless look on his face: "If this is really the case, then it is not Ge Chunyi who is cuckolding the Second Prince, but the Second Prince himself."
Shi Qingluo's eyes widened. "Ah, could the Second Prince be so stupid?"
Xiao Hanzheng heard his young wife talk about what "brain-dead" meant.
He laughed and said, "That's how stupid I am."
"Prince Jin's previous actions were also quite stupid, so we don't have to look at them with normal people's thinking."
Speaking of Prince Jin, Shi Qingluo couldn't help but nod in agreement, "That's right, some people in the royal family really have unusual brains."
She asked, "Why do you think so? Have you discovered something?"
Otherwise, my husband would not have guessed in such an outrageous direction.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "My people discovered that before Ge Chunyi became pregnant, whenever the Second Prince stayed overnight in her courtyard, he would bring a groom with him."
"Before that, the Second Prince already knew that Ge Chunyi had given his wife a chronic poison, but he didn't do anything."
"They just had someone change the Second Prince's wife's medicine without informing us. It looks like they were protecting Ge Chunyi."
"After Ge Chunyi announced that she was pregnant, the Second Prince never stayed overnight with her again."
"He was originally very fond of Ge Chunyi and had placed her on a high pedestal, but not long after, he withdrew his favor."
"Before, I thought that the Second Prince might really be attracted to Ge Chunyi, so he stopped doting on her as a form of protection, so that she could give birth to the child smoothly."
"But now that the child is born, he treats him even colder and doesn't even look at him."
"I made this guess based on the information that the groom had followed him."
Shi Qingluo smacked his lips, "If that's true, the Second Prince is also a talent!"
It's really amazing that someone cheats on himself just because he doesn't like or hates someone.
As expected of Prince Jin's nephew, his train of thought is different.
If it's true, then the young husband is really amazing, he could even discover this.
She then asked in confusion: "But if he was cheating on her, why did the Second Prince let Ge Chunyi give birth to the child? Why not just throw her into the backyard to fend for herself?"
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the Second Prince has the same idea as Prince Jin. He wants to give Ge Chunyi some hope, making her think that everything will be fine if she gives birth to a son, and then he can dethrone the Second Prince's wife."
"But after giving birth to the child, the Second Prince immediately beat her back to her original form."
"If this guess is correct, then the Second Prince will most likely not really let Ge Chunyi and her son die, but will send them out together with the groom."
"Let Ge Chunyi know the truth, and then feel pain, regret and collapse."
