“Okay.” Shen Qingyu naturally supported it.
"However, I won't do it in my own name, lest they become greedy and want more." Qi Yunxiao considered the matter more carefully.
"good."
Two months later, one of the few remaining shops in the Qingping Marquis's mansion suddenly saw a surge in business. It turned out that they had found a new supplier, a jewelry merchant from the Great Xia Dynasty, whose designs were novel and whose prices were not expensive.
Jewelry made primarily of pearls immediately attracted the attention of many daughters of prominent families and noblewomen in the capital, and business boomed.
With the support of this shop, the Qingping Marquis's family's life suddenly became much easier.
Qi Yunheng also received guidance from the academy's teachers, and his knowledge progressed rapidly, eventually becoming somewhat like a true scholar.
Of course, that's a story for later, so let's leave it at that for now.
His Majesty the Emperor returned to the capital and swiftly and decisively brought down the previously smug Prince Gong!
After some questioning, there was nothing unclear.
Because of Prince Gong's recent behavior, which resembled that of an emperor, the court officials had already seen through it clearly.
Everyone now knows that this prince is not as submissive as he used to be, but is actually very ambitious.
Therefore, when Prince Gong was taken down, no one objected.
Prince Gong was imprisoned, and the emperor began a ruthless purge of the court.
In just one month, some clowns and two-faced people who had to be tolerated because of his initial leadership of the court were now being purged!
For a time, the court was peaceful and the people praised it!
However, some people are worried: Now that His Majesty has removed all of these princes, only two underage princes remain, the youngest being only four years old. What will happen to the Great Qi dynasty if something happens to them?
Just as the ministers were filled with anxiety and took turns pleading with His Majesty the Emperor to spare a grown prince (seed), the Emperor was in high spirits and beaming with pride: "My Consort Rong is pregnant, and she is now more than three months along."
If I count the days, I must have gotten pregnant while I was on the island.
The officials were in uproar!
Consort Rong?
Is that the most mysterious and reliable Consort Rong in the harem?
Over the years, she has rarely appeared in public, and it is said that she is the only one who dotes on her.
However, she had been childless for many years and had long been considered a useless person in the eyes of some court officials. But today the emperor said that Consort Rong was pregnant?!
If that's true, then the fact that Consort Rong hasn't conceived all these years means it wasn't because she was infertile, but rather to protect herself?
What a deep scheme!
Such strong willpower!
The thought of this made everyone's hearts skip a beat!
Some people still wanted to protect Prince Gong, but His Majesty the Emperor was surprisingly firm on this matter: "My mind is made up! Prince Gong shall be exiled to Whale Fall Island! He shall never return to the capital! No matter if he is pardoned!"
Whale Fall Island?
What kind of place is Whale Fall Island?
Someone told everyone: Whale Fall Island is the small island where Lord Qi and Princess Qingyu are located.
Everyone was startled again: What did this mean? Had they handed Prince Gong over to Princess Qingyu and Lord Qi?
Are they on good terms?
When His Highness Prince Gong, who was imprisoned, learned of his whereabouts, his face turned ashen!
He knew more about what happened back then than Prince Heng. He even knew that Qi Yunxiao might be His Majesty's illegitimate son!
But he didn't dare say it back then.
If this were to be revealed, His Majesty would not only lose face, but I, the one who leaked the information, would certainly be punished by His Majesty.
Besides, even if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't punish Qi Yunxiao and makes him a legitimate prince, wouldn't that just give him another competitor? Anyone with a brain wouldn't do that!
Although he understood the situation, Prince Gong was still uneasy: although he hadn't done what happened back then, it was still his mother who had been involved.
Does Qi Yunxiao know about this?
How much does he know?
If he finds out, will he hold a grudge against me and even take revenge?
Also, why did His Majesty send himself to Qi Yunxiao's place when he was perfectly fine?
Did he give himself away as compensation to his illegitimate son, making him a punching bag?
Has His Majesty also learned about what happened back then?
The thought of this possibility made Prince Gong even more panicked!
Qi Yunxiao was also shocked when he learned of this news!
He looked at Prince Gong, who was being brought over by ship, and his mind went blank for a moment: What? He was brought over so he could beat him up and vent his anger?
But he really had no intention or interest in it.
After thinking it over, Qi Yunxiao had someone throw him into digging fields.
There are many islands at sea, and many of them have freshwater sources.
For those areas that were nearby and easy to manage, Qi Yunxiao would send a few people and some tools over, instructing them to cultivate land and farm on the islands.
As for the rest, there are plenty of places to put people!
Prince Gong looked at the endless sea and the small island at his feet, and felt a sense of despair!
He thought Qi Yunxiao would say something to him, but to his surprise, Qi Yunxiao didn't say a word to him at all and just threw him onto this farming island.
On such an island, there are only five or six households, all of whom are taciturn indigenous people who speak a language that is incomprehensible to them. They cannot communicate with each other because they do not speak the same language or script.
A member of the Hidden Dragon Guard would occasionally come to the island to patrol and manage it, and bring some food over.
There are also the ducks raised by the indigenous people and the vegetables they grow. They usually eat some green vegetables, duck eggs, duck meat and grains...
Seeing that he could only bury himself in digging and eat these bland and tasteless things every day, Prince Gong cried: "Father, you are so cruel..."
It turns out that there's no need for beatings or scoldings; simply throwing him here for labor reform is enough to drive him to despair.
The joys and sorrows of the world are never shared; some are in despair, while others are anxious.
For example, Shen Qingyu's large family.
After living freely on the island for several months, Shen Qingyu finally experienced her first real childbirth!
Despite the fact that this body had given birth to triplets in the past, and despite Shen Qingyu's very hard work and careful conditioning after transmigrating, everyone was still worried when it came time to give birth.
"How long will it take to give birth to these twins?"
"I don't know..." Zhao Yuzhu slapped Shen Zhongyi on the shoulder. "I've never given birth to twins!"
Shen Zhongyi grinned and said, "Then why did Qingyu give birth to triplets in her first pregnancy, and then twins in her second?"
From a genetic point of view... the couple both looked at Qi Yunxiao.
Qi Yunxiao was nervous too. He paced back and forth, looking blankly at his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Huh?"
I couldn't hear a word they were saying.
Zhao Yuzhu then realized: her son-in-law was so nervous?!
While feeling both amused and relieved, Zhao Yuzhu was also somewhat pleased: it was a good thing that her son-in-law valued her daughter!
You should be happy!
But just as she was feeling relieved, a scream came from inside the house: "Agh..."
Zhao Yuzhu jumped up in fright.
The female doctor inside cried out, "It's born! It's born..."
