"So, is this true? What if they find out that he was wrongly accused? How will it end then?"
"You're such a fool. Whether it's true or not is totally unimportant. What's important is that the emperor has suspended him from his position and sent people to investigate. This is a signal."
"Oh! I understand. If the Emperor really wanted to protect Concubine Ying and her brother, he should have asked him privately, or asked someone to investigate secretly, instead of making such a big fuss now. So... can the Second Prince be moved?"
"It's an opportunity, but I don't think it's a time to strike a fatal blow. Father likes my second brother and Concubine Ying. Even if he ignores her for a few days this time, he will make it up to her later."
"What if other things are involved?"
Lu Anyuan was shocked and subconsciously covered Xu Yixing's mouth: "We agreed not to mention the matter of the outer palace. I will never use this as a bargaining chip to attack the Second Prince!"
Then Lu Anyuan felt an itchy sensation on the palm of his hand, as if it was being gnawed by a mouse. He looked down and found that it was Xu Yixing who was biting him.
"What are you doing..." Lu Anyuan let go of his hand and stared at Xu Yixing with confusion and seriousness.
"Who said I was going to talk about that? You don't have any shame, but I do. I'm talking about the Wu family. Have you forgotten?"
Lu Anyuan hissed. The matter was resolved so perfectly at that time, with even a sense of absurd beauty, that Lu Anyuan almost forgot about it.
"Oh... I heard that Wu Xueyan has already fled far away. The Wu family will definitely not intervene in this matter. There is no need to make our family pay for this."
"Who said that?" Xu Yixing raised his head proudly again, looking at Lu Anyuan with raised eyebrows: "I got Wu Xueyan back. The Second Prince's men were chasing her everywhere. I can say she was saved by me!"
"Oh?" Lu Anyuan's eyes darkened. If that was the case, this matter could be manipulated. He needed to think it over carefully. "Well, since you're so capable, I won't let your efforts go to waste. Even if we can't defeat Second Brother this time, we'll still teach him a lesson!"
"Yeah! By the way, since you mentioned the outer palace, did you know that Fan Shi is dead?"
"I know. I hired someone to kill him."
As expected... Xu Yixing looked at Lu Anyuan without even blinking, it was indeed him who did it.
"Actually, my shadow guard was only a moment away from yours. Otherwise, even if you didn't kill me, I would still have avenged myself. I'm just curious. Didn't you say you had reached some agreement with the Fourth Prince? Would he be unhappy if you killed his people like this?"
"Sparing Fan Shi's life was not part of our agreement. Besides, he went too far, how can you blame me for fighting back." Only in such rare circumstances would Lu Anyuan show murderous intent in front of Xu Yixing. Most of the time, he acted a bit like a fool in front of Yixing.
"Thanks."
"Thank you, thank you! Why are you thanking me again? I've already told you that we are a family!" Lu Anyuan pulled Xu Yixing over and kissed him on the lips.
It’s better to be husband and wife. In the past, Yixing would even avoid it when someone patted her shoulder. How could she be as well-behaved as she is today!
"Ugh! Stop!" Xu Yixing really liked that kiss, but she could feel that Lu Anyuan's hand seemed to be sliding towards somewhere dishonestly, so she immediately stopped him.
"I have one last question! What about my shadow guards? Will they be able to move around the palace as usual?"
Lu Anyuan let go and rubbed the rouge on his lips vigorously a few times, but unfortunately it seemed that it was spread evenly.
"Um...sure, aren't your Yingjiu and Yingwu already in the mansion? How many more do you have? You can bring them in as well. It's okay, I can afford them anyway."
"That's not necessary. They don't need money at all. In that case, Shadow Nine and Shadow Five will follow me, and the rest can disappear for now."
"How many shadow guards do you have?" Lu Anyuan was really curious. As a prince, he only had two people, A Da and A Er. How many people did the old commander Bai leave for Madam Bai back then?
"Keep it a secret!"
Lu Anyuan had no choice but to smile. Just keep it a secret. Yixing wouldn't kill him anyway.
After returning home, Xu Yixing continued to direct the maids to clean and decorate the house. However, Lu Anyuan did not have such a good time. He had not gone out for several days as there were many things waiting to be dealt with.
Xu Yixing was in a very good mood. If he could really drag the second prince into the water this time, Lu Anyuan and himself would face much less obstacles in the future.
Everything depends on how much evidence Lu Anyuan can collect of the Second Prince's crimes. Then he can ask Wu Xueyan to come out and testify. There is no doubt that the Second Prince will be in trouble.
Just when I was thinking about good things, someone came to report that Mr. Yao had arrived.
Xu Yixing was startled and looked at the sachet. He wondered if the male vixen would be able to smell the scent or figure out that he had taken birth control pills last night.
"Please let him in." Xu Yixing sat down at the table, and her momentum instantly rose. However, when Mr. Yao came in, her momentum was extinguished.
"Madam, I have something to report. Please ask all the sisters to leave."
"Um... then you guys go down first." Xu Yixing said this weakly, feeling guilty like a thief.
Mr. Yao sat down and without any prelude or pleasantries, he went straight to the point, "Madam, you and His Highness cannot have children within three years!"
Huh? The surprise on Xu Yixing's face was absolutely genuine. He hadn't even thought about what would happen three years later, and he was still taking pills one by one. How could someone else say three years right from the start?
Mr. Yao saw her expression and had expected it, so he explained slowly:
"You took too much antidote last time, remember? It will take at least two to three years for those drugs to be slowly excreted. If you become pregnant and give birth during this period, it will most likely result in fetal malformation or stillbirth. Madam, please carefully consider the pros and cons of this."
What pros and cons! I agreed with you the first time you said it!
Xu Yixing was so happy that his heart was beaming with joy. This was really like a dream come true. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
"That..."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I have already developed the pills. One pill will last for three days." Mr. Yao put a black cloth bag with a drawstring around his waist on the table. Looking at the weight, it should be enough for a year, right?
"Um, should he eat it or should I?"
"Of course you took it!" Mr. Yao said as a matter of course, but then he immediately changed his tone: "The ingredients I put in this pill are very mild and nourishing. I guarantee that you will be able to conceive a big fat boy in three years!"
There's no need to be so absolute. It would be great to have a girl...
"Okay, since Mr. Yao is so considerate of us, I will definitely praise you when he comes back!"
