Su Xingyi leaned forward and whispered something in his ear...
"Luringing the snake out of its hole and following the clues is a good idea, but I'm not sure if he'll take the bait."
"Grandfather, don't worry. I will definitely take the bait. Now I still need your help."
"Oh?" Xiao Tianci raised an eyebrow. "What can I do for you?"
"Mother Zhang will definitely be silenced. The person behind the scenes will definitely investigate whether she is really dead..."
Xiao Tianci readily agreed upon hearing this. "No problem, it's a small matter. However, this matter is the business of the First Prince's Mansion. You and Yu'er don't need to be so concerned. Just detoxify him. There's no need to get involved in these matters. The person behind this must be holding a grudge against Yu'er. Grandfather is a little worried that they might take action against her."
Su Xingyi said, "That's why we have to focus on this and find the real culprit behind this. Xiaoyu can rest assured and take care of her baby..."
Xiao Tianci nodded. "Indeed, my grandfather has sent someone to deliver a message to your father-in-law and his family. After a while, when the Western Rong have completely withdrawn their troops, we can request permission to return to the capital. Then, we can have a good reunion as a family..."
"Dad, mom asked me to come and invite our son-in-law." At this time, the voice of Mrs. Xiao, Liang, came from outside the door.
"Let's go to Zhaohui Courtyard." Xiao Tianci stood up and picked up the pot of Lingquan probiotics on the table. "Talk to your grandmother. The children should be back soon."
When Liang saw Su Xingyi again, she was shocked by his change in temperament, and at the same time, she felt something indescribable in her heart. "Greetings, Prince Shun."
"Second Aunt, please don't be so polite. I am the junior, so there is no need to be polite when meeting me." Su Xingyi quickly helped the person up.
"Xingyi, you are now the Prince of Shun, bestowed by the Emperor. Your family will be in Beijing for three years, so you must adhere to proper etiquette..."
"Your second aunt is right. You will meet officials of all ranks in the capital. They will all greet you politely. You need to slowly adapt to it."
The emperor bestowed upon him the title of king of a different surname. Although he had no fiefdom and no palace, and was considered the least powerful prince, his status was still extremely noble.
In the future, he will become more and more prominent because of his child. Just because of the little Prince Fu, no one in the capital dares to offend Su Xingyi!
Ever since Old Lady Xiao learned that Su Xingyi was conferred the title of Prince Shun because of his son's status, when she saw Su Xingyi again, she inexplicably felt that the kingly aura in him was innate, and she talked to him a lot.
Half an incense stick later, the two brothers rushed back from outside.
"Dad, why did you come back alone? Didn't you say you would come back in three days to pick you up?"
Su Xingyi quickly pulled Su Ningjie over to Cha'an and said, "Your mother is worried about you. I've prepared the antidote and asked Dad to bring it over. It's warmed up and ready to drink."
Su Ningjie looked at the whole pot of antidote and asked, "Is it true that after I finish drinking this pot, the poison in my body will be cured?"
"Drink another pot in three days and it will be relieved..."
Before Su Xingyi could finish his words, Su Ningjie picked up the teapot and started drinking.
Xiao Tianci, Old Madam Xiao, and Liang couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw this.
No wonder this child is thinner than when he was in Anyang County. It turns out that he was poisoned by the same poison as the eldest prince.
"Second brother, drink slowly, there's no rush." Su Ningwen was worried that he would choke if he drank too quickly.
Upon hearing this, Su Ningjie slowed down and decided to detoxify and eat spicy food as soon as possible.
When there is no chili pepper, I always feel like something is missing when I touch the silver.
Soon, a pot of Lingquan probiotics was swallowed. "Daddy, if I drink another pot in three days, can I eat hot and sour noodles?"
Su Xingyi nodded: "Your mother said that you can eat it properly, but eat less."
"That's great!" Su Ningjie happily hugged Su Xingyi, "Finally, I don't have to look at you jealously anymore. I can eat with you guys."
"Okay, Daddy, it's time to go back..."
"Okay, won't you come down for dinner?" Old Madam Xiao was not yet satisfied with her grandson-in-law.
"Grandma, when I came here, I told Yu'er and Xijie'er that I had to hurry back to have dinner with them. I can't keep them waiting for long. I will send Yu'er back in three days."
Old Madam Xiao didn't expect Su Xingyi to be so close to her Yu'er, and she felt even more relieved.
"Okay, okay, we won't force you to stay. Go back and take good care of Yu'er. She's in a heavy body now and can't get bumped or hurt."
"Don't worry, Grandmother. I will take good care of Yu'er... Brother Jie, Brother Wen, go back to the Grand Prince's Mansion with Daddy and come back in three days."
"No!" The two brothers shook their heads. They still had a lot of things to do. "We'll pick you up at the Grand Palace in three days."
Old Madam Xiao watched Su Xingyi walk away and whispered to Xiao Tianci, "Duke, when I saw Xingyi today, I felt that he had some of the eldest prince's aura and looked a bit like him."
"Shh!" Xiao Tianci quickly made a gesture to silence the crowd. "Don't say that carelessly. Be careful, there are ears. Our Yu'er is still in the First Prince's Mansion!"
Madam Xiao quickly stopped thinking and said, "Look, my brain is confused."
Xiao Tianci pondered for a moment, then said, "Madam, if you know that Su Xingyi's four children have extraordinary backgrounds, then he is not a simple man. What is important is that he treats Yu'er wholeheartedly..."
As soon as Su Xingyi entered the eldest prince's mansion, the spies arranged by Fu Xuan went directly to Chaoyang Pavilion.
Su Xingyi glanced at the direction the man went, then turned around and went back to the Jade Courtyard.
"Queen Dowager, Prince Shun went to the Duke of Huguo's residence with a pot of tea and has returned now."
The Queen Mother: "You didn't go anywhere else? Or did you go shopping in the shops along the street?"
Fu Xuan said, "We arranged for the spies to tell us that Prince Shun went straight to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion after leaving the Grand Prince's Mansion. After leaving, he went straight back to the Grand Prince's Mansion and didn't go anywhere else during that time."
"Queen Dowager, Prince Shun probably doesn't feel like wandering around." At this time, Lin Fang and Yun Gu brought in dinner. "I'm afraid he's in a hurry to come back and have dinner with the princess."
"Oh! Princess Xiao is so lucky. No matter which husband she marries, he will dote on her. It's a pity..." She can't be the queen anymore.
The Empress Dowager did not continue and sat down at the dinner table with regret.
Xie Wanyi is still not quite qualified to be the queen in the future.
Changchun Palace.
"Your Majesty, they are now certain that it was Mother Zhang who poisoned him, and he is currently being held in the prison in the Grand Prince's mansion."
Cui Wan was a little surprised that things turned out just as she expected.
"Is it really that smooth?"
"My Lady, this is certainly true. The pheasant was poisoned. All the evidence points to Mother Zhang. She can't prove her innocence. It must be her who poisoned it."
Cui Wan thought for a moment, "What other news have we learned from the Yangxin Palace?"
"The Emperor has issued an oral order. If Madam Zhang doesn't tell the truth, she will be reported to the Dali Temple."
"We absolutely cannot submit her to the Dali Temple. They are a professional interrogation center. Just because Xiao Lingyu and his men can't find the real culprit doesn't mean the Dali Temple can't find out. We must silence her before she can be brought to the Dali Temple for questioning."
"Yes, my lady."
"Also, if Qinglian is held still, Xiao Lingyu won't be able to stay in the Grand Prince's Mansion for long."
"clear!"
