Su Ning'an left the Luomei Courtyard and unknowingly arrived at the dungeon in the middle of the lake.
He has been back for so long, but he hasn't come to see his scumbag father yet.
He raised his hand and called the young officer guarding the cell, "What's the situation of the people inside?"
"Your Majesty, they haven't starved to death yet."
Suningan: ...
Seeing Prince Fu's gloomy expression, the young general quickly reworded, "The Princess has arranged for them to only have breakfast and lunch each day. This will make them thinner and less powerful, making it harder for them to die and easier for them to starve. Every day at noon, someone will go in and clean up the dungeon..."
The young generals felt that the princess was too kind to them. How could she send people to serve them while they were in prison?
The dungeon is arranged like a wing room, with basic furniture and furnishings.
Su Ning'an: "If they get sick from hunger, catch a cold, or something like that, we need to arrange for treatment in time. We can't let them die."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Ning'an wanted to go in and take a look several times, but he never took the step. He couldn't see them alone, and if he wanted to see them, he had to go with his mother.
"Anger!"
Song Linyuan suddenly shouted, waking up Yu Chengxin.
"Anger!"
"Anger!"
"A Yuan, stop yelling and save your energy. You won't be able to eat until 6:30 tomorrow. Be careful of your stomach."
"I heard Angel's voice. He's outside."
"If he wants to come in, he will come in of his own accord. If he doesn't want to come in, no matter how much you shout, he won't come in."
Yu Chengxin didn't say anything else after he finished speaking. He must be getting hungrier the more he spoke!
Fortunately, she doesn't eat a lot, but she can't stand this for a long time.
Su Ning'an stood outside the iron gate and heard a sentence or two, but the voice was not loud.
He still has the energy to shout, so it seems he is not likely to die easily.
"Mom." Su Ning'an poked his head in.
"Ang'er, you've arrived just in time. The Western Rong soldiers will withdraw completely in three days, and the six-month fief of five cities will be delivered in three days. Mother estimates it will take at least half a month to compile and store the fiefs."
"It takes so long, how much food is that half a year?"
Baili Qingluan handed five thick account books to Su Ning'an, "My mother arranged for people to copy these in the government offices in various cities."
"That's so much, I think I can eat rice for several years."
"Ang'er, this isn't a lot. Most of them are from Rongcheng. The people in the other four cities are having a hard time..."
Su Ning'an looked at the fiefdom he had obtained for half a year and felt that he couldn't just eat and do nothing. "Mother, when I return from the capital, I will go to various cities to see the real lives of the wealthy merchants, landlords, and villagers. The princess said that if the people have more money in their pockets, I can eat more. If the people don't have enough to eat, I may also go hungry."
He has experienced hunger and knows the experience well.
Baili Qingluan touched Su Ning'an's round little head.
"Okay, whatever you want to do, your mother will support you."

Su Ningjie drank the second pot of antidote in one breath, "Mom, can I eat the hot and sour noodles now?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled without saying anything, and carefully wiped his mouth with bamboo paper. "It's all your fault that your mother made you cry."
"Can I eat it then?"
"Yes, but try to eat less spicy food."
"Dad, did you hear that? Mom said it's ready to eat." Su Ningjie pulled Su Xingyi's arm and said coquettishly, "Make me a bowl now to taste it, okay?"
"Keep acting like a spoiled brat."
Suningjie...
"Make me a bowl of hot and sour noodles, okay?" Su Ningjie used all his tricks to act coquettishly, shaking, rocking and rubbing, which made Su Xingyi's heart melt.
Su Ningwen also ran over. He couldn't let his second brother outdo him. "Daddy, I want a bowl too..."
"Okay, now go to the kitchen and daddy will make a bowl for each of you."
"Xiao Xi'er, why don't you go?"
Xiao Xi'er was lazily lying on the chaise longue at this moment. "Striving for favor and acting like a spoiled brat are things that children love to do. I am a big kid now."
"Who is that child who has been acting like a spoiled child in front of your father and me in the Grand Prince's Mansion these days?" Xiao Lingyu looked at Xiao Xier with a half-smile.
Xiao Xier: ...
"Mom, don't tell the truth."
At this time, a sparrow flew in from the window and stopped beside Xiao Xier's ear.
Xiao Lingyu only saw the little sparrow nodding and shaking its head, but not opening its mouth.
The man and the bird communicated silently.
After a moment, the little sparrow flew away. Xiao Lingyu couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any movement in the eldest prince's mansion?"
"Little Sparrow said that after we left the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager also returned to the palace. Now the Crown Prince's Mansion has focused on defending Xiaoyun Pavilion, Quchen Pavilion, Qinglian, and Steward Hu. There are no unusual behaviors. After all, we were away for only a day, and the person behind the scenes couldn't have acted so quickly and was just waiting for Aunt Princess to detect a pregnancy."
"It's not that easy for your aunt, the princess, to get pregnant. If there's no sign of pregnancy in seven days, mother will go to the eldest prince's mansion to fake it."
"Fake?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "I guarantee it will look just like the real thing."
Every day after Mr. Lu finished giving Feng Jinyu acupuncture and warm therapy, Xie Wanyi would ask him to take her pulse.
After five consecutive days without any sign of pregnancy, not only Xie Wanyi was anxious, but Old Lu was also anxious.
He was sure that Xie Wanyi could get pregnant, and that she should be able to find out the result within a certain period of time.
Could it be because of the Seven Days Ecstasy Powder?
"Mr. Lu, how is it? Are you pregnant?"
"Don't worry, Princess. You can be sure that the prince will have a child."
If she fails to get pregnant this time, it will take several years according to the prince's recovery progress.
When Xie Wanyi heard this, she knew that Mr. Lu was also unsure.
She had to get pregnant immediately, not only to lure the snake out of its hole, but also because she didn't want the prince to wait a few more years to have a child.
"Mr. Lu, tell me the truth, do I really have to wait three to five years to get pregnant this time?"
Elder Lu: "My medical skills are not wrong. Please wait for two days and see."
Xie Wanyi thought for a moment, "If there's still no sign of pregnancy after a few days, the Empress Dowager will be worried. She can't wait that long. I'm sure Old Lu promised the Emperor and the Empress Dowager that the prince will be able to conceive a child after the wedding. If she waits that long..."
Xie Wanyi did not say the rest of the words. Old Lu was very panicked. He had indeed made a solemn promise at the beginning.
He has to wait another three to five years, and the Emperor and the Empress Dowager may not forgive him!
"Princess, please wait for two more days. If you still can't feel the pregnancy pulse, I will think of another way."
"you mean?"
Of course they would have sex again, but it would be harmful to their health, Mr. Lu whispered this to Xie Wanyi.
Xie Wanyi felt that this matter was a bit unreliable, and that this matter could only be done after the people responsible for Empress Mu were found.
She could only ask Xiao Lingyu to forge it for her first.
At the same time, Emperor Qianyuan was sitting in the imperial study, worrying.
"Shangguan Yu chose to send an envoy to Beiyi to pay tribute to Empress Fu'an when Xiao Lingyu and Su Xingyi returned to the capital. What ulterior motive do you think he has?"
Emperor Qianyuan was worried that Shangguan Yu would come to support Su Xingyi!
