Cui Wan thought for a moment and said, "This is very risky and easy to be exposed, so let's give up for now."
"Your Majesty, once Feng Jinyu is cured, what will happen to the little prince?"
"He has no offspring, so he's not a big deal!"
Cui Wan has few people to use, if one is lost, there will be none left!
Without the support of her family, she was essentially fighting alone.
She was going to do something like robbing and killing someone on the way, but she didn't have the confidence. Who would cover for her if the matter was exposed?
The Emperor? That's impossible!
"Give orders to Qinglian to hide well and not expose herself..."
"Yu'er, you will get better. Your father has invited a hermit to see you." Emperor Qianyuan spoke nonsense in front of Xie Wanyi and the Empress Dowager.
Feng Jinyu drank the millet oil and gained some strength. He knew very well that he could not hold on for too long, and his father was just coaxing him.
He didn't want to expose him, so he just followed his words and said, "I'm better now. I want to stay at home and spend more time with my wife and children. I'll let my third and fourth brothers help my father with the affairs of the court. Oh, and my little brother, my father must train him well so that he can help you share the burden when he grows up..."
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but frown. It sounded like Yu'er was making arrangements for his funeral arrangements.
What was he thinking? Shouldn't he have the emperor focus on raising his own son? Why was he still thinking about Cui Wansheng's youngest son?
"Okay, if you can get better, Father will do whatever you want..."
"Your Majesty, go out with the Queen Mother. Yu'er needs to rest well."
The Empress Dowager pushed Emperor Qianyuan to the outer room. She was afraid that if she continued talking, Yu'er would be tired and fall asleep and never wake up again.
Arrange Xie Wanyi to guard the room.
"Mother, can Princess Xiao really come to see Yu'er before noon tomorrow morning?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager was furious again and punched Emperor Qianyuan fiercely, "If you had paid more attention, you would know where Princess Xiao is by now!"
"Mother, please don't be angry. It's not that I don't care about Yu'er. It's because I have a good mother that I have been able to focus on state affairs for so many years..."
"Oh, you really know how to talk." The Empress Dowager sat down and took a sip of her cold tea. "Yesterday, when I learned that Yu'er was seriously ill, I arranged for someone to rush over a hundred miles to fetch Princess Xiao and have her return to the capital as soon as possible. It was originally a two-day journey, but if we hastened, she would definitely arrive before noon tomorrow morning, and could have arrived even earlier. But Su Xingyi actually dared to disobey the order... Such a rude and ignorant person is unworthy of Princess Xiao. I'll use this as an excuse to send him away later and choose a suitable young man from a noble family for Princess Xiao."
Emperor Qianyuan's mouth twitched. How rude and disrespectful! He is your eldest grandson!
Before they even met, the grandfather and grandson started fighting.
What should I do?
"Mother, Princess Xiao is heavy, and she's holding him close. She's worried that walking at night might hurt the child, so she only lets him walk when he can see the road! It's enough to say that he's a good child who protects his wife."
"Is he okay, kid? It's said he has four more children, all of whom he adopted. One of them is Baili Qingluan's son. Now, he's been crowned a king of a different surname because of the Western Rong. He looks like an ambitious country bumpkin no matter how you look at him!"
A country boy?
Emperor Qianyuan unconsciously pursed his lips into a straight line. Wasn't his mother scolding him as well by saying this?
"Mother, you are prejudiced against him."
"My Queen Mother is not prejudiced. It's impossible for him to not even marry a wife and pick up children for no reason. He must have known the identities of the children before he picked them up."
Emperor Qianyuan frowned slightly. Perhaps it was possible, after all, the identity of the anonymous person was still unknown.
"Mother, let's not talk about him for now. He is just the Prince Shun whom I conferred upon him. He is not important. Yu'er's health is what is important..."

"We can't speed up any more. This is already the fastest speed." Fu Xuan was jolted around, his face pale as he negotiated with the second wave of people sent by the Queen Mother. "If we speed up any more, the princess's body won't be able to bear it. She may not be able to show me to the prince..."
"Mother!" Little Xier retracted her head, "It seems that the eldest prince uncle really can't hold on any longer. The Queen Mother has sent someone to urge him again!"
Xiao Xier said this while looking at Su Xingyi who was frowning.
After a moment, Su Xingyi stuck his head out and called Lei Xiao over.
"At this speed, how long will it take to reach the capital?"
"Your Highness, we are not far from the capital. We can reach it before the city gates are locked at night."
"Go and call Eunuch Xuan over."
When Fu Xuan heard that Su Xingyi wanted to see him, his heart pounded as he went to the imperial carriage, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have already negotiated with the people sent by the Queen Mother. We can't speed up any further. After all, if we go any faster, the princess won't be able to bear it."
"Does the person sent by the Queen Mother know how long the eldest prince can last?"
Fu Xuan's mind moved slightly, "The situation is still unclear, he may not survive tonight."
"Go tell the messenger that we will arrive in the capital before the city gates are locked. Have the imperial doctors try to help the Crown Prince hold on for a few more hours."
If Feng Jinyu can't hold on until Xiaoyu goes to see him, then that's just his fate.
Su Xingyi sat back in the carriage, and both mother and daughter looked at him.
"Xiao Yu, you're too heavy to speed up now. I'm also thinking about you and the child. Believe me, Feng Jinyu will definitely be able to hold on until we return to see him."
"Yeah, I believe you, he can hold on! I want to eat hot and sour noodles again now."
Su Xingyi coaxed her, "Then bear with your cravings for a while. When we get to a place with water, we'll stop and cook. I can not only make you hot and sour noodles, but also pickled fish, okay?"
"Then when you go fishing, see if you can catch any snails. I've come up with a new delicacy that's sour, spicy, and... fragrant."
"Mom, what delicious snacks are there? Are there any hot and sour noodles?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "The noodles made with stone snail meat are really delicious, but you might not like them."
Looking at Xiao Lingyu's smile, Xiao Xi'er felt that noodles made with snail meat might not necessarily taste good. "Whether you like it or not, you have to try it to know."
"Okay then! But on the day you enjoy the snail noodles, don't eat them openly in front of Brother Jie. I'm worried that Brother Jie will get so angry that he'll cry and go crazy."
Xiao Xier felt more and more that there was a trap waiting for her, so she decided to deal with it. "Okay! We will never make Second Brother cry..."
"Wanyi, the Empress Dowager has received accurate information. Princess Xiao and her entourage will arrive in the capital before the city gates are locked tonight."
The prince is saved!
Xie Wanyi was delighted. "Then Wanyi will personally make arrangements and wait for Princess Xiao to come."
"They might be a whole family coming over. They've cleaned up two large, upscale courtyards. We can't neglect them."
"Grandmother, please rest assured and leave it to Wanyi to arrange. Princess Xiao is the prince's savior, so we cannot neglect her."
Tsk, the future granddaughter-in-law became her grandson’s savior, and the Empress Dowager felt complicated for a moment.
"Go ahead. Find a suitable time tonight to tell the prince that Princess Xiao is coming to the mansion to see him."
