"I have made up my mind. I will use Meng Jing to exchange for the Crown Prince. This secret will only be known by the few of us present here."

Swap the child? Wang Changling and Wang Yi exchanged glances.

Wang Yi didn't say anything. As the Crown Princess, she had seen a lot of the inside stories of the royal family's struggles. She had long lost many feelings.

Just like the reason why her son was able to leave the Eastern Palace was because Han Taizhong used his own son to exchange for Ji'er's life.

Wang Yi frowned.

"But Meng Jingdu is six years old, and my Ji'er is only four years old. It's not okay to switch like this, right?"

Wang Taifu smiled, but his face was smiling, but his eyes were not smiling at all. "Although Meng Jing is six years old, he has been weak and skinny since childhood, and looks like a child of four or five years old. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has practiced martial arts since childhood, and although he is four years old, he is strong and robust, just like a child of five or six years old. Besides, these two children look about 50% alike, and if they are dressed up, ordinary people will not be able to tell them apart unless they are from our family."

But Wang Changling felt a little guilty.

"But how can I explain this to my second brother? Meng Jing's biological mother Aunt Sun will not agree."

"The children have been replaced, so naturally we can't keep Aunt Sun anymore."

"father--"

Wang Changling was so shocked that all his guilt disappeared.

He didn't expect that in order to exchange the child, his father would be so cruel as to get rid of Aunt Sun.

"It's just a concubine and a bastard. Changlin won't say anything."

To trade a bastard for the future prosperity of the Wang family. This deal was naturally well calculated by Master Wang.

"What should we do with Meng Jing's child? Why don't we ask Han Taizhong to take him far away and take Aunt Sun with him. Find a place for them and their child to stay."

Wang Changling's words were interrupted by Wang Taifu, "You are too soft-hearted. No wonder you have difficulty achieving great things."

At this point, Wang Taifu turned to look at Wang Yi.

"Rong'er, come and tell your father why Aunt Sun and her son can't stay."

"The Crown Princess is dead, there is no Wang Zhaorong in the world anymore. Grandfather, please call me Wang Yi from now on."

Wang Yi looked at her father calmly, without any emotion on his face.

"To accomplish great things, there must be no mistakes. Letting Aunt Sun and her son go is like leaving a big loophole. Once someone finds it, not only will our great plan fail, but all of us will die. And our entire clan will be exterminated."

Wang Changling shuddered.

Although he felt sorry for Aunt Sun and her son, they were not his own flesh and blood after all. Moreover, his womanly kindness would kill his entire family and bring misery to his daughter and grandson in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Changling no longer wanted to save the lives of Wang Mengjing and his son.

"Dad, what do you need me to do?"

After all, he had been an official in the court for many years. After his father's advice, Wang Changling understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately changed his attitude.

Wang Taifu was very pleased to see his eldest son being so sensible.

"It's not that I'm cruel. I love Meng Jing, too. But it's because he has a bad fate and was born in a lowly family, a bastard. Using the lives of mother and son can create a rich and prosperous future for our Wang family. That is also a great fortune for them."

Wang Taifu said to his eldest son earnestly,

"If the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess hadn't been here after this ordeal, our Wang family would have lived in exile from now on, and our descendants would have been refugees. We would no longer have the chance to take the imperial examinations or enter the officialdom. We would have become pariahs for generations. Even if we were alive, we would have been sinners of the Wang family for all eternity."

Taifu Wang looked at Wang Yi, "Now that Yi'er and her son have appeared, it means that God will not destroy our Wang family. It gives our Wang family the last chance to turn things around. As the eldest son of the Wang family, you must always remember that you cannot be soft-hearted when dealing with others. You must always strive for the greatest interests of the Wang family. To this end, some people are destined to be sacrificed."

"I am old and will die. After I die, you will be the head of the Wang family. You must consider everything for the Wang family. If you really feel guilty towards your second brother, then when the Wang family makes a comeback, as the head of the family, don't forget what happened today and give some subsidies to the second branch."

"Sons always listen to their fathers."

Wang Yi also knelt down, "Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Dad. Today the Wang family made a sacrifice for Ji'er. When my son ascends the throne again in the future, I promise that the Wang family will be crowned as kings for generations."

Wang Taifu shook his head.

"Back then, I made an agreement with the late emperor that the Wang family would never be king. Yi'er, if you really want to treat the Wang family well, then when Ji'er enters the palace, please make our daughter the queen. The legitimate son of the queen will be made the crown prince as soon as he is born."

Wang Yi didn't look up, but raised her eyebrows slightly. "My granddaughter will remember what grandfather taught me today. My mother and I swear on the country to keep our promise and never go back on our word."

"Dad, the most urgent thing is to deal with Aunt Sun and her son, and also get rid of Mrs. Ji as soon as possible. We don't have anyone around us who can be used, how can we get rid of Mrs. Ji?"

Wang Changling looked at his father and racked his brains, but he couldn't think of a solution.

"Go find Su Zhenbei and tell him the news that the Crown Prince has returned. Ask him to find a way to get rid of Ji Tai."

"Dad, although Su Zhenbei's external injuries have healed, he is poisoned and has been hit by the Soul-Suppressing Nail. He needs to get rid of Ji Tai. Not only is Ji Tai highly skilled in martial arts, he also has 20 trusted imperial guards around him. I'm afraid that Su Zhenbei is no match for him now."

Wang Changling thought, doesn’t his father know that Su Zhenbei is no longer the young general he used to be?

"He will find a way to get rid of Ji Tai."

Wang Taifu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: Not to mention Ji Tai, even if it was all the prisoners and all the officials, if Su Zhenbei wanted to take the Su family away, all these people combined would not be able to keep the Su family.

His silly son!

I really thought that Su Zhenbei was alone and seriously injured, and would only be bullied on the road to exile.

Behind him are three extremely skilled warriors and a group of Su family soldiers.

If he guessed correctly, Su Zhenbei, as the confidant of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, might have a group of dragon guards behind him.

What's more, Su Zhenbei and King Yan have such a deep friendship, how could King Yan let Su Zhenbei go on the road alone? He must have sent many experts to protect Su Zhenbei secretly.

Besides, Prince Yan was the minister entrusted by the Crown Prince before his death. Su Zhenbei and Prince Yan were both members of the Crown Prince's party.

Now that the crown prince is gone, the crown prince is their new master.

As a loyal minister, Su Zhenbei must protect the crown prince, even if it means sacrificing the entire Su family. That is the duty of a minister of the Su family.

[Brother, that old idiot Wang Taifu is plotting against you again.]

Sumibao heard all the conversations in the Wang family tent.

The color on the little face changed again and again.

In the end, I couldn't help it and secretly cursed my mother in my heart.

Dear author, you are so stubborn that you not only swapped the Crown Prince with Wang Mengjing, but also paired the Crown Prince with cannon fodder like me, as well as the young heroine Wang Zhaoxi and another supporting actress Su Qiaoqiao.

So, on the road to exile.

The story of the Crown Prince and his three childhood sweethearts can then unfold smoothly.

Ah, ugh!

What if the author doesn't behave like a human being? She can only rely on herself to save herself.
