"Tsk! You don't know this, do you? My second uncle's third aunt's eldest nephew is on duty in the Black Wind Cavalry."
"He told me that the Crown Prince pissed off the Third Prince yesterday, and before dawn this morning the Third Prince gathered all the people in the palace and rushed to the Crown Prince's palace!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge uproar, and the crowd around started talking about it.
"Ah?! I heard that the Third Prince and the Crown Prince were not on good terms, but they were just secretly plotting. When did it become public?!"
"Not really, not really. His Majesty is still alive, and the two princes are so blatantly fighting among themselves. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?!"
The person who revealed the news earlier looked very proud and continued:
"Hey! Listen to me! The Third Prince ordered 30,000 Black Wind Cavalry to go look for the Crown Prince. Guess what happened next?"
Now everyone was curious about him and asked impatiently:
"What's going on? Lao Li, please tell me now!"
"Hey! You're just talking halfway and then you're adding arsenic to rice. Old Li, you're really driving me crazy!"
Old Li looked mysterious:
"Hehe, you guys can't imagine it! The Third Prince brought people to look for trouble with the Crown Prince, and on the way he ran into the Crown Prince who was also looking for trouble with him."
"I don't know what deep hatred these two have for each other. As soon as they met, they started fighting without even saying a word!"
"They were determined to kill each other! The prince's personal guards were slightly more successful and beat the Black Wind Cavalry into fleeing everywhere. When the third prince found out, he was furious and directly mobilized the forces in the capital to burn down the prince's palace!"
"The situation between the two sides is getting increasingly tense, and it hasn't ended yet!"
The friends around felt their scalps tingling after hearing this.
The two princes are equally powerful, and now the commotion is so fierce that it may lead to a bigger war at any time, affecting the peaceful and happy life of the people.
Now there is a large army of Beili Kingdom in the north, and it has been hot and rainless for several months, which is really unpredictable. It seems that we should think of a way to escape the famine to the south.
Su Qingning roughly knew what had happened when he heard this.
It seemed that she had bullied the Crown Prince and the Third Prince too much last night. The two of them started fighting without saying a word today.
Yesterday, she clearly heard the Third Prince say that he would arrange for someone to clean up the Xiao family in Qinghe Town. No wonder nothing happened today and there were no spies around.
It seems that they were all taken away by the third prince to deal with the crown prince.
When Su Qingning thought about the Third Prince who looked like Baldy Wang and the Crown Prince who looked like Xiong Er fighting in public, she felt like she couldn't laugh anymore. She held her stomach and started to laugh.
Xiao Huaishuo seemed to have thought of something. He sat quietly beside her and helped her calm down with a doting look on his face.
Su Qingning didn't hide it from him, and went over to tell him that not only did she empty the palace of those two people last night, but she also made the Crown Prince eat shit and the Third Prince experience more than twenty times the happiness.
After listening to this, Xiao Huaishuo felt that the depression that had accumulated since his exile had dissipated a lot, and he laughed with Su Qingning from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, my wife is so smart!"
Knowing that the royal family must be in a mess and they had no time to deal with them, the two of them were even happier and started a new round of shopping in Qinghe Town.
At this time, the Xiao family members at the post station were busy with their own things.
Mother Zhang Qinxue, eldest sister-in-law and Xiao Qingya were cleaning the two rooms they were going to move into, while grandmother, second sister-in-law and fourth brother were cooking in the back kitchen using a few stoves borrowed from the kitchen.
Xiao Huaijin had heard from the people at the post station that there were fish in the nearby Stream, so he jumped in and caught a few large carps.
Adding the ingredients left by Su Qingning and the big bags of food brought by Zhao Jinhai, they now have so much food that they can't finish it.
Liu Qing looked at the ingredients and prepared to make a carp and tofu soup tonight to nourish everyone.
Then make stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised eggplant and stir-fried green beans.
Although they are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, they are already the best food on the road of exile.
Thinking that his grandson and granddaughter-in-law would soon come back from the city and drink the soup he made, Liu Qing's face broke out into a kind smile, and his hands moved faster.
The Su family in the yard had long been accustomed to a life of luxury, and after walking for several days, they were all exhausted. Now they were all lying dead in the yard.
These people were too lazy to cook, and their mouths were full of cravings when they smelled the aroma of the Xiao family's food. They all looked resentful when they saw the Xiao family.
Aunt Shen, who had a wrinkled pig-like face, wanted to go fishing for her two children, but she had developed a lot of affluence diseases after living in the prime minister's mansion for a few years, and she fell flat on her face as soon as she entered the water.
Not only was his entire body soaked, he also had several sprains and bruises.
There were no extra clothes for her to change into, so she had to lie in the yard and wait for them to dry naturally.
Su Abao, who had been nestling in Su Qingyu's arms, hadn't had a good meal for three days. He couldn't help drooling at the smell of fish soup coming from the kitchen.
Su Qingyu still had that calm expression, but her childish face was filled with a sinister look that didn't belong to someone her age.
I saw someone accidentally spilled some oil at the door of the kitchen. At this time, Xiao's second sister-in-law went to the room to get seasoning, Xiao Huaijin was chopping firewood outside, and only the old and frail Liu Qing was left in the kitchen.
The smile on her face became even more sinister. She whispered to Su Abao:
"We are all exiles. How can we rely on the Xiao family to have a good meal every day? Go and grab that pot of fish soup. We will have a good meal tonight."
A Bao looked at the Xiao family with resentment on his face. After hearing what his sister said, he walked over without thinking.
He observed the surroundings, and even went around the oil on the floor, and when Liu Qing wasn't paying attention, he lifted up the boiling pot and ran over.
"Ah, ah, it's hot! It's so hot! Sister, it's so hot!"
Su Abao must have been so hungry that he lost his mind. As soon as his hand touched the iron pot, it was scalded with a large shiny blister. However, he endured the pain and did not let go, and ran to the yard.
"Hey! You uneducated bastard! If you want to eat fish, go to the river and catch it yourself! Why are you stealing my fish soup?!"
Liu Qing was extremely anxious. She had specially cooked the fish soup for her grandson and his wife, and they were about to return from the city. If this bastard ruined it, how could she cook another pot in time? !
He immediately jumped up, picked up the chopping board and chased after him.
But she was in such a hurry that she didn't even look at her feet. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she stepped on the oil and lost her balance, and fell backwards.
"Bang--"
"grandmother!"
"mother!"
The Xiao family members nearby heard the noise and rushed over immediately.
But at this time, there was already a pool of blood on Liu Qing's back. She seemed to be enduring great pain, her eyes rolled back, she was gasping for breath, and her whole body was twitching.
The Xiao family was panicked when they saw this, and Xiao Huaijin hurried to ask the station doctor. The women stayed behind to look after Liu Qing, and they couldn't help crying.
It was not easy for their grandmother to raise their family, and now at her old age she still worries about them.
The second sister-in-law regretted even more why she was so careless just now. She ran back to get the things and left grandma alone in the kitchen.
While everyone was at a loss, the maid Xiao Qingya patted her head, remembered what her sister-in-law had told her, took out the water bag and fed most of it to her grandmother.
Sure enough, Liu Qing's breathing was much more stable. Although he had not yet woken up, his condition had obviously improved.
Xiao Qingya's eyes lit up, and she gave the rest of the water to Liu Qing.
Seeing that Liu Qing's condition was under control, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They carefully carried her back to the room and waited for the doctor to arrive.
In the courtyard, the Su family, who were sighing, were so happy to see that the Xiao family was having a hard time. They couldn't suppress the upturned corners of their mouths.
"Sister! We can finally have a good meal tonight!"
Su Abao placed the stolen pot in front of Su Qingyu like he was presenting a treasure. Su Qingyu's gloomy baby face seemed to show some encouraging smile.
However, the next moment, she caught a glimpse of Xiao's second sister-in-law walking towards them angrily.
In an instant, he put on an expression of deep hatred and pain, and slapped Su Abao.
"If you want to eat fish, you can tell me and I will do everything I can to satisfy you. Who taught you that? You're still stealing other people's things at such a young age. Who knows what bad things you might do when you grow up!"
