Seeing this, Yun Gu calmed down. She glanced at Xie Wanyi, who was sitting in the front seat with a bad look on her face, and leaned forward slightly to apologize:
"Please don't be angry, Princess. I didn't mean what Baizhi said. I will report the results of today's interrogation to the Queen Mother in detail. Now that Ziyu has been bitten by Zhuyue, she must be kept under guard. After the princess tests the poison, the truth will be revealed. Once the poisoner is caught, Ziyu will be cleared of all charges."
The Empress Dowager had already pulled it out, what else could she do? Xie Wanyi smiled faintly, "Aunt Yun is right. Once the culprit is found, Ziyu will be cleared of all charges, and so will I! Someone, come!"
After Zi Yu was taken away, Xie Wanyi picked up the teacup and said, "Aunt Yun, please go back and tell the Empress Dowager that I will go to see Princess Xiao to discuss the poison test. Once the time is set, I will send someone to notify the Empress Dowager."
"Okay, Princess. I'll take my leave now."
Aunt Yun walked away, and Xie Wanyi placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table.
Bai Zhi quickly knelt down and said, "Princess, I am wrong. Please punish me."
"What's wrong with you?"
Bai Zhi couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment, she felt that there was nothing wrong.
"She is someone close to the Queen Mother. I have to be courteous to her whenever I see her. You must never be so impulsive as you were today and start a fight with her. If I were not here, I would punish a servant who I consider to be insubordinate, and I would not show any mercy..."
"I'll remember this!"
"I'm glad to know. Hurry up and get up. You will follow me from now on and may see the Queen Mother from time to time. You must not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"clear!"
"Alright, let's go see the prince first, and then go find Princess Xiao."
After Emperor Qianyuan dismissed the court, he returned to the imperial study without even the slightest thought of going to the eldest prince's residence.
Li Haiying reminded him from time to time, "Duke Xiao took Prince Shun's two adopted sons to the eldest prince's palace early in the morning."
"Oh, I understand." Emperor Qianyuan looked at the memorial and replied absentmindedly.
"The Queen Mother summoned Princess Xiao for questioning early in the morning. After Prince Shun treated the prince, he waited for the princess and her daughter at the gate of Chaoyang Courtyard..."
Emperor Qianyuan raised his eyes and asked, "Prince Shun is treating Yu'er?"
"Yes, he went there at 9:00 PM with a medicine box and stopped the princess at the door. I think he belongs to the county bishop."
Emperor Qianyuan pursed his lips and said, "Quite smart."
"Prince Shun always calls me Brother Yu, which is so endearing."
Emperor Qianyuan secretly thought that this was not good. Could it be that he knew his own identity?
Sooner or later he will know!
As long as Yu'er doesn't know, it's fine.
Emperor Qianyuan replied indifferently with an "Oh".
Emperor Qianyuan had finished his lunch and was about to take a nap when Li Haiying said, "Today, Lord Xiao took the children to the eldest prince's residence to pick up Prince Shun, and the princess returned to the Duke of Huguo's residence."
Emperor Qianyuan frowned unhappily, squinted for half a minute, and then sat up. "Yu'er has rested for the whole morning. He should have the energy to talk to me more in the afternoon. Quickly prepare the carriage."
"Okay." Li Haiying hurried to prepare. If it was too late, Prince Shun might really be taken away by Lord Xiao.
"How many more treatments does the eldest prince have left?"
"Six more times."
"Then six days later, you, Yu'er, and Xi girl must all return to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion with me."
Su Xingyi thought that within six days, the person who poisoned the princess would definitely be found. "Okay, Grandfather, I'll protect the princess in six days. Xiao Xi'er will come back. Brother Jie, Brother Wen, how about you stay at the eldest prince's mansion, and then our family of five will return to the Duke of Protector's mansion together in six days?"
"No!" The two brothers shook their heads.
They really wanted to stay with their parents and sister, but they felt uncomfortable because the Queen Mother lived in the eldest prince's mansion.
"Dad, I'm going to arrange for someone to clean up our mansion in the capital in the next few days. From now on, that will be our family's home in Beijing!"
Xiao Tianci immediately objected, "The Duke of Huguo's Mansion is your home. If you don't live here, where do you want to live?"
"Grandfather, my father and I will listen to the princess. If she wants to live in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, then we will stay there." Su Xingyi had to coax her first. At least Xiaoyu had to stay in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion to take care of her pregnancy until the child was born.
Xiao Tianci nodded in satisfaction, and walked out of the gate with the two children in his hands, "Xingyi, we're already at the door, no need to see you off, go back and accompany Yu'er."
From the corner of his eye, he saw the guards in front of the door kneeling down one after another, and a low-key palace carriage, escorted by thirty imperial guards, stopped in front of the eldest prince's mansion.
"This old minister greets His Majesty."
Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen were shocked for a moment and then quickly followed Xiao Tianci to pay their respects to Emperor Qianyuan.
While Su Xingyi saluted, he lowered his eyes and stared at the shining ground.
Su Xingyi didn't expect to run into Emperor Qianyuan so soon.
He wasn't ready yet, this was too sudden!
I should have known not to come out and see people off.
Emperor Qianyuan subconsciously looked at Su Xingyi and reached out to help Xiao Tianci up. "Quick, don't be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Su brothers, Su Xingyi stood up with a slight bend in his body.
"Mr. Xiao, have you just arrived, or are you going back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"
"Your Majesty, I have already met with the eldest prince. His life is not in danger. I will take the two children back with me."
Emperor Qianyuan glanced at the two brothers and said, "I haven't heard that you have two great-grandchildren this old."
"Your Majesty, these two children are my Yu'er's children, the children of Prince Shun." Xiao Tianci pulled Su Xingyi forward, "Your Majesty, these are my old minister's grandson-in-law, the one you named Prince Shun. You wouldn't have thought it possible, but Prince Shun was blind and had difficulty walking. My Yu'er cured him, and he's become more and more handsome as he grows older. Your Majesty, please take a closer look. Isn't Prince Shun truly handsome?"
Emperor Qianyuan looked at his smooth forehead, high nose bridge, and thin lips that resembled Empress Fu'an, and his heart was moved. "Lift your head and let me take a closer look."
Su Xingyi slowly raised his head.
The two brothers also raised their heads and looked at the most distinguished man in Beiyi.
When Emperor Qianyuan looked at Su Xingyi's bright phoenix eyes, it was as if he saw Empress Fu'an.
"Your humble servant Su Xingyi has reported to the emperor." Su Xingyi seemed to be excited as if he was meeting the emperor for the first time, but he called Emperor Qianyuan in a calm tone.
Emperor Qianyuan could tell that he didn't know his true identity yet, so he smiled and nodded, "Not bad, not bad. He is indeed handsome and extraordinary."
Xiao Tianci took the two children in his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is awake now. Please go in quickly. Xingyi also wants to go in and accompany Yu'er. I will take the children back now."
"Go ahead."
Emperor Qianyuan turned around and glanced at Su Xingyi, who was standing slightly bent over at the side. "Come in with me."
"It's the Emperor."
Su Xingyi followed closely behind Emperor Qianyuan.
Li Haiying hurried to catch up. It was broad daylight today, and he could see clearly that Prince Shun looked more like Queen Fu'an!
Su Xingyi watched Emperor Qianyuan heading straight for Xiaoyun Pavilion and called out to him, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Qianyuan stopped and turned to look at him, "What do you want to tell me?"
"I have been out for a long time. I want to go back to see the princess."
