"Feng Jinyu couldn't possibly be seriously ill from catching a cold. He might have some unspoken motive for asking me to return to the capital."
Xiao Lingyu returned to his room and threw the imperial edict onto the bed.
Su Xingyi picked it up and sat on the edge of the bed, reading the contents of the imperial edict word by word.
"Do you think the Emperor will discover something and use this as an excuse to call you back to the capital?"
"Xiao Yu, Feng Jinyu might really be seriously ill. You might have forgotten that I once told you that when Su Yun and his brothers were exploring the mountains, they met Xu Mo on the way. Li Yuanliang was buying quilts in the town and said that Feng Jinyu had caught a cold and was not feeling well. He was afraid of the cold and the heat... I was a little panicked when I told you that."
Xiao Lingyu remembered that she had thought Feng Jinyu had just caught a cold, but she hadn't expected him to be seriously ill. "I know Elder Lu's medical skills. Most of the medical books I've read were written by Elder Lu. If Elder Lu can't do anything, then neither can I."
Although he said this, he felt a little depressed in his heart. How could Feng Jinyu be seriously ill?
"Also, the prescription I sent to Yongcheng to prevent old injuries had the effect of dispelling cold. The prescription has no effect. I think it will be difficult to cure him."
Su Xingyi said, "Just do your best to treat the patient. When you return to the capital, you can wait for the birth of your baby there. Your grandparents should have cleaned up your yard and are waiting for you to return."
When Xiao Lingyu mentioned the two elders of the Xiao family, he was eager to go home. "I miss my grandparents. I want to go back. Then let's arrange for someone to pack up quickly and take the children back with us."
Su Xingyi nodded and closed the imperial edict. "You don't need to come back again when you return to Beijing this time."
"Are you trying to find the murderer in advance and prove your identity?"
Su Xingyi nodded. "Right now, I'm most worried about you and the baby in your belly. My face looks like my mother's. I'm afraid that once I return to Beijing, the person behind the scenes will recognize my appearance and take action against you and Xiaowu."
Xiao Lingyu was also worried about the children. "The imperial edict has arrived. We have to go back even if we don't want to. If we can find the murderer behind the persecution of the children and protect the children, I can also protect Xiaowu."
"Then I'll arrange for someone to clean it up, and I'll let the children stay with you."
Su Xingyi opened the door and three children rushed in and quickly surrounded Xiao Lingyu.
"Mother, do you really want to go back to Beijing? The long journey will be very tiring."
"The carriage will be very bumpy on the road and could hurt Xiaowu. Can you tell the emperor that we should go back to see the eldest prince after Xiaowu is born?" Su Ningjie held Xiao Lingyu's belly tightly, not wanting her to return to the capital. "When I saw him in Yongcheng, he was fine and not sick at all. When he went to Cangnanjun, I remember mother said that he was cured and his old injuries would not recur. How could he be seriously ill from a cold?"
"Second brother, I remember you looked emaciated when you returned from Yongcheng. Feng Jinyu also fell ill on the way back to the capital. Perhaps the climate in Yongcheng is not good, especially for someone like you who has been sick before."
"Oh! I remember now." Su Ningjie slapped Su Ningwen on the shoulder. "It's true he's not used to the climate. The day I arrived in Yongcheng and had dinner with my uncle, the eldest prince, I started having stomachaches and vomiting and diarrhea. I was young and quick to react, so he caught a cold!"
Xiao Lingyu only realized what the problem was at this moment. "Brother Jie, stretch out your hand, let mother show you."
"Oh, okay." Su Ningjie quickly showed his wrist.
Xiao Lingyu could no longer diagnose anything abnormal. "You haven't had diarrhea in Xirong, have you?"
"No, the food prepared by Aunt Princess is all stomach-warming and my favorite dishes. However, the local specialties prepared by Uncle Prince are also very appetizing, but I get diarrhea after eating them."
Could it be that someone poisoned him?
Xiao Lingyu thought so and felt it was very possible!
She had looked at the ingredients used in those special dishes. They were incompatible and she would have diarrhea if she ate them. Either they were not cooked cleanly or the vegetables had frozen her hands and feet.
"When the food was served, did you eat it instinctively?"
"Yes, eat it directly from your mouth. Is there any problem?"
"Mother," Xiao Xier said, "You don't think someone tampered with Feng Jinyu's food, do you?"
Xiao Xier briefly analyzed the situation Feng Jinyu was facing.
Feng Jinyu not only returned to Beijing after being rehabilitated, but also led the Xiao family army to the western border to fight the enemy.
With the military power in his hands again, it would only be beneficial to the people who admire the queen if he collapsed.
In other words, only those who are interested in imperial power would take action against Feng Jinyu.
Of course it couldn't be my father, so there was no need to guess, it was the third or fourth prince who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
"Mother, is this true? Someone wants to harm the eldest prince uncle.
"It's just speculation now, there's no substantial evidence. We'll know once we get to the capital. Oh, and by the way, Feng Jinyu is not your uncle. You should call him uncle."
"Oh, then we'll call him Uncle Prince."
"Mom, will you take us to the capital?" Su Ningwen asked expectantly. He had a hunch that his parents would never return to Huayang County after returning to the capital.
Upon hearing this, Su Ningjie became anxious because they were not mentioned in the imperial edict.
"Second brother, third brother, don't worry, Daddy and Mommy will definitely take us back to Beijing, right? Mommy."
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "Of course our family must return to Beijing together. Brother Jie and Brother Wen, go back and tell your families that this time we may be away for a long time and may not be able to come back..."
"Let's go back now." The two brothers turned around and ran out.
"Xiao Xi'er?"
"I don't need to tell my father, the emperor, and my mother. I can just ask Huanghuang to deliver the letter. But what about Sister Song? We left, and Big Brother hasn't come back yet."
"Let her stay in the mansion and wait for your eldest brother to come back. This time, we are not moving the whole family back to the capital. Let Xiao Zhong and the others stay to look after the house. The shop and Baiyaotang still need people to take care of them."
"Then I'll have Huanghuang pass a message to Big Brother."
"Go ahead."
＊
"Brother Wen, why are you back?" Su Ningwen suddenly returned home, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Meng family were very surprised and happy.
Meng Chen quickly pulled him to sit down and arranged for someone to bring him a lot of food.
"Fill your stomach first. When your father comes back, we'll have dinner together. How about staying at home tonight?"
Su Ningwen nodded and said, "I will stay for two nights and spend some time with you guys."
Meng Wei's eyelids twitched, something must have happened!
This child seldom stays overnight when he comes back. He goes back after dinner, and if he does, he only stays for one night. It is very unusual that he suddenly comes back and wants to stay for two nights.
"Is there something you want to tell us?"
"Someone from the capital has come to announce the decree, asking my mother to return to the capital. I want to go back with her."
"Your mother is pregnant now, so it's not convenient for her to return to Beijing."
"The Emperor sent many people to pick up Mother, and even brought the imperial carriage."
