Chapter 378 The eldest prince has just recovered from a serious illness and returned to Shengjing
Concubine Qi Jing swallowed her jealousy and bitterness and turned away. "It stinks! After you bathe, come to me again. It's you, a bastard, who sent me this woman. She's pregnant and now she's Concubine Xi. What will happen if the baby is born? It's one Concubine Yin, but if there's another, my position will be in jeopardy."
"Concubine Xi? Concubine Chun?" Xu Cairong said with his hands on his hips and a smile, "Is she pregnant?"
Concubine Qi Jing frowned: "Why are you so happy? The child she gives birth to will compete with you for the throne. Even though it's just a little kid, the throne is still uncertain."
"To Concubine Xi's child?" Xu Cairong smiled, "That's fine, I can give it to him."
Concubine Qi Jing looked at him. Is this still her son? "Did you get beaten silly?"
After being exposed, Xu Cairong put away his smile, crossed his legs and said, "If he becomes the emperor, then I will be the emperor emeritus, and you will be the empress dowager!"
He picked up the juicy fruit wood on the table.
But he was shaken violently by his mother a few times.
Almost choked to death.
Concubine Qijing read it several times in her mind before she understood such shocking words. She asked in shock, "Is the child Concubine Xi is carrying your child?"
Xu Cairong nodded: "It should be the date, right? It can't be the emperor's, right?"
Concubine Qi Jing covered her heart, closed her eyes, and chuckled. The blockage that had been blocking her for a long time was finally cleared.
"He's old, he's definitely not going to make it."
Then he looked at his son with disgust.
"You should work harder for me. The prince is a tough guy. He has so many people around him to help him. I heard that the eldest prince is coming back."
Xu Cairong frowned. "Isn't he recuperating in Huzhou? Why did he come back?"
Concubine Qi Jing took a deep breath and sneered, "What else can you do? Come back and fight for the throne. Rong'er, you must fight for your mother's honor. When I become the Empress Dowager, I will definitely trample the Empress under my feet and make her beg for mercy!"
Her eyes were filled with joy after victory.
Xu Cairong said, "Don't worry, mother. I will take my leave now."
The prince is gone, and the eldest brother is back?
Haha, it looks like I’ll be busy this month.
He put his hands behind his back.
"The Crown Prince has gone and never returned, and my eldest brother has died of illness. That's good, really good."
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the leaves pattered and dropped the accumulated rain water.
This should be Jiang Jing's last long journey before his wedding. He packed his bags and went to the Marquis' Mansion to say goodbye. Li Ningwan and his wife did not disturb the young couple who were about to part.
I went to Shouchun Hall to accompany the old lady to watch opera.
Jiusu put all the bottles and jars into a small box. When she heard the maid's announcement, she waved to the people outside the courtyard: "A Jing, come quickly and see what good things I have prepared for you."
"They are all life-saving things."
"This investigation must be extremely dangerous, otherwise the emperor would not send you and Lord Song together."
Then she took out a jade ring and put it on the man's hand.
"Ah Jing, if you are in danger, smash the ring and I will come to save you."
Jiang Jing looked at the lines on the ring and stroked it gently with his fingers: "I can't bear to part with it."
Jiusu rubbed his face with both hands, his eyes filled with reluctance. The moment he looked into his eyes, he couldn't help but tear up. He hugged his waist and pressed his face tightly against his hot chest. "Silly boy, there are still many jade rings like this."
The rings come in many colors.
But in this world, there is only one of him.
Zitan brought the dumplings, placed them on the table, and then stood guard at the door.
Jiusu handed over a pair of chopsticks and said, "We have a saying over there, 'Dumplings on horseback, noodles on horseback.' I hope Mr. Jiang has a safe journey and the case is solved soon. I hope to be reunited with you."
"Thank you." Jiang Jing's eyes turned red.
The skin was thin and the flesh was thick, and he could feel the love in it.
Jiusu accompanied him to eat several dumplings. Don’t ask why a few dumplings can make people’s eyes red. This is different from frozen dumplings. They are emotional people.
She watched him ride away on horseback.
He licked his sore lips and took a deep breath. "We'll meet again eventually. I'll go back next time."
The situation was urgent and the two men were speeding on the official road.
Song Wang frowned: "Master Jiang, have you eaten garlic?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jing looked at him, the corner of his mouth curled up, "A Su made dumplings for me."
Song Wang took out a piece of rice paper slightly wider than his finger from his bosom and said disdainfully, "Who asked you? Manman even gave me a peace amulet!"
Jiang Jing raised his eyebrows: "Well, Lord Song, please keep it well, because we will have to go by water later."
——
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Xu Xiaoli knelt on the ground and waited for a long time.
Eunuch Shang walked from outside the door to the emperor and whispered, "Concubine Xi is suffering from severe morning sickness. The imperial physician said she likes to drink sweet and sour fruit juice."
Emperor Xu raised his head.
"Let the palace maids go and buy it."
He put down his brush.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself."
When passing by Xu Xiaoli, Emperor Xu patted his head and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. I almost forgot about you. Get up. Are you well now?"
Xu Xiaoli bent down and followed the emperor.
Don't dare to breathe heavily.
"Replying to Father, I have recovered."
Emperor Xu responded, pointing to another road and saying, "You haven't been back for a long time. Take... uh, your wife to see the Queen."
Xu Xiaoli performed a great ceremony and knelt in the palace corridor, waiting for the emperor's footsteps to gradually fade away. Then he slowly raised his head and went to the queen's palace with the woman who had been silent all the time.
Empress Xu was surprised, but still met him.
This is the emperor's first son. His biological mother had passed away long ago. Due to his long-term weak health, he left Shengjing to recuperate. As a result, he has not yet been crowned king and his status is very embarrassing.
Xu Xiaoli and Bai Yanyue knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Greetings, mother."
Empress Xu raised her hand and said, "Your Highness is so thoughtful. Please allow him to take a seat."
The two thanked him.
She asked, "It seems to me that the eldest prince's illness has healed. He has suffered a lot in Huzhou over the years."
Xu Xiaoli kept his head down. He said, "During every festival, my mother would always prepare gifts and show her care, even sending me expensive medicine. I have always thought of you, hoping that one day I could return to Shengjing and be filial to you."
Empress Xu said with regret: "Your biological mother passed away early, and you are also a sensible child. This palace can't bear it. Well, let's not talk about this. But Yan Yue, you don't look well. How about asking the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
Bai Yanyue was distracted and spoke in panic when she heard the question.
"No, no thanks."
Xu Xiaoli glanced at her and said, "The journey was long, and she is seriously ill. Please don't blame me, mother."
Empress Xu nodded and said with a dry laugh, "I don't blame you. Go back to your residence and rest."
The eldest prince's residence is very close to the crown prince's mansion.
Xu Xiaoli held Bai Yanyue's hand and said, "It's okay, let's go home."
Bai Yanyue's voice was trembling: "Your Highness, do you think they will find out?"
"No." Xu Xiaoli looked around, "There are many people talking, don't say these things outside. Yan Yue, you also need to adjust as soon as possible, otherwise it will bring disaster to yourself."
A moment.
He spoke again.
He held her hand tighter.
"Remember, those bad guys deserve it!"
