Hearing this, Xie Wanyi hurriedly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Xiao Lingyu's expression.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at her. It seemed unlikely that Feng Jinyu had been poisoned...
A thought flashed through Xiao Lingyu's mind, and he took Xie Wanyi's wrist and carefully felt her pulse.
"Is there a pulse of pregnancy?" The Empress Dowager asked expectantly when she saw Xiao Lingyu withdraw his hand.
Xiao Lingyu felt a little uncomfortable and felt sorry for the original owner.
"Grandmother, it's still young. Let's check it out again in a few days."
A trace of regret flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, but then she thought about what Master Ci'en said, Wanyi would definitely be pregnant, and it would be a boy.
The Empress Dowager suddenly asked, "Are you pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
"It's my son!"
The Empress Dowager held her breath again. It was all her fault that unfilial son, otherwise the boy in her belly would be her great-grandson.
"How many months?"
"The baby's due in less than four months."
The Empress Dowager subconsciously reached out and touched Xiao Lingyu's belly, saying with concern, "Then you'd better be careful with what you eat. Don't hurt the baby."
Xiao Lingyu saw that the Empress Dowager was genuinely concerned about her child, which might be related to their blood relationship. "Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern. I will take good care of the child. Sister Wanyi, please be careful with what you eat. The person who poisoned her has not been found yet, and she could be harmed at any time."
"Wanyi, of course all those people Xu Mo questioned are suspects. Quickly arrange for someone to lock them up and interrogate them thoroughly. The criminal is among them."
"Grandmother, we've identified five people who handled the food that day. Zi Yu and Mother Zhang have also been poisoned..."
Xie Wanyi told the Empress Dowager and Xiao Lingyu what happened in Xiaoyun Pavilion, "Please, Princess Sister, please help them detoxify."
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "I'm preparing an antidote for my brother Jie, so I'll make some more and use them together. Now that we've narrowed down the suspects to five people, we can interrogate them one by one. We'll definitely be able to find any flaws and identify the spies."
"Grandmother, Princess Sister, the prince is out of danger. The person behind the scenes should have received the news. To prevent them from killing and silencing the witnesses, I will go to the trial now."
The Empress Dowager nodded, "Ms. Yun, you go too!"
"yes!"
"Xiao Yu'er, you are heavy, you and your daughter should go back and rest."
Xiao Lingyu stood up and said goodbye, taking Xiao Xier away.
"Daddy! You're here to pick us up."
"Yes, I'm here to take you and your mother back to the Jade Courtyard." Su Xingyi held one hand and supported the other, and said to Fu Xuan, "Eunuch Xuan, just send them here. I will take them away."
Fu Xuan watched them walk away and returned to the main house of Chaoyang Pavilion.
"Fu Xuan, did Ah Fang just see Prince Shun waiting for them and their daughter outside the courtyard gate?"
"Yes, Prince Shun has taken the person to the Jade Courtyard."
"Afang said he looks kind, what do you think?"
Fu Xuan thought about it and thought that Prince Shun seemed to be more handsome than the eldest prince. "Prince Shun is handsome and kind-looking. He doesn't look like a country bumpkin at all. He has the demeanor of a prince... Prince Shun became solemn, and I was a little afraid of him."
The Empress Dowager frowned, "You are still afraid of him, he is just a country bumpkin with the title of prince in vain!"
Lin Fang said, "Prince Shun is quite skilled. That night, I saw him snatch Deputy Commander Du's sword and subdue Du Yu with my own eyes."
"Yes, Queen Mother. Prince Shun nearly cut my throat that night."
"You're truly useless!" the Empress Dowager exclaimed angrily, "Hundreds of you can't even touch him! You're truly bringing shame to me!"
"Queen Dowager, please calm down. We were afraid that if we alarmed the princess, she would get hurt and we wouldn't be able to see the prince in time."
"Hmph! I'll remember this!"
When Xiao Lingyu cures Yu'er, she will definitely teach him a lesson!
Don’t think that you can ignore a child with a strong background just because you picked her up!
"Wait, wasn't he a poor, blind, and disabled villager before? How come he has martial arts skills?"
Lin Fang frowned upon hearing this, and recalled Su Xingyi's familiar face. "Queen Dowager, perhaps you could send someone to Huayang County to investigate. Although the Xiao family was exiled at the time, Lord Xiao was highly respected. Perhaps someone helped the Xiao family find someone else for Princess Xiao to marry."
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes. It was really possible. The identity of Prince Shun might not be that simple.
The Xiao family still has tens of thousands of soldiers under their command, and Su Xingyi has the Xirong as his backer. If he dares to disobey the order, he may rebel in the future!
"Send someone to investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
Jade Courtyard.
Su Ningwen held Su Ningjie's little hand and sat obediently on both sides of Xiao Tianci, sipping tea and snacks politely, waiting for the family of three to come back.
In the past, I would either be sitting at the gate waiting for my parents to come back, or playing around in the yard.
What grandma said is true!
When they were taken to the eldest prince's mansion by Li Yuanliang, they were told that the empress dowager was living there and even the emperor might come over today.
If they bump into anyone, not only will their parents get into trouble, but the Meng and Lu families will also be implicated.
"You two brothers don't have to be so restrained. There's a swing in the garden. You can go play on it."
"No!" The two brothers shook their heads in unison. "We want to wait here with you for Mom and Dad to come back."
Su Ningjie said, "It's almost noon now. Will the Empress Dowager invite me to have lunch at Chaoyang Pavilion?"
Xiao Tianci looked at the time. If he waited another quarter of an hour, he would take his two children to the Empress Dowager to ask for the person.
His precious granddaughter must have stayed up very late last night, and was called in for questioning after getting up. She must be very tired by now. "Wait another quarter of an hour, and your great-grandfather will take you to the Empress Dowager for lunch."
