Chapter 470: Checking Liaoji Restaurant
"Your Majesty, I don't know either. You will know when you go in."
Xiao Yanli then realized that the door to the imperial study was ajar. He stared at Mu Jingxing with burning eyes, "What are you doing? Why are you being so secretive?"
Mu Jingxing waved his hands and said helplessly: "Grandson really didn't know, the person inside is Old Jiang."
Xiao Yanli took the Tianzhulan from Wang Gui's hand and went into the imperial study.
Mu Jingxing was very understanding and closed the door gently, then stood at the door and eavesdropped.
"Old Jiang?" Xiao Yanli was so surprised to see Jiang Youya dressed like a servant that his mouth dropped open. "Why are you dressed like that?"
Jiang Youya glanced at the figure at the door and hurriedly pulled Xiao Yanli into the inner room. "Your Majesty, I swear to heaven that what I am about to say is the truth. Your Majesty must believe it."
"Then tell me what it is first?"
Jiang Youya asked, "Prince Yanxu and his family of four are all in Weiyang Palace right now, right?"
"That's right, you rejected the marriage, and my sister-in-law is making a fuss, demanding an explanation from me. Does Yu really have to be twenty before she can get married?"
Jiang Youya said, "It's true that my sister Yu hasn't escaped death yet, but that's not the point. The point is that my Ming'en looks a lot like your sister-in-law."
"What did you say?" Xiao Yanli scratched his ear. "Say it again?"
"I suspect that my Ming En is your nephew!"
Xiao Yanli's expression darkened instantly. "I'll just take you as a joke. Once you leave this room, I'll put an end to those unrealistic thoughts in your head!"
Without clear evidence, the emperor really didn't believe it!
"Your Majesty, I can't be mistaken about Ming En's appearance. His eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as the princess's, both with double eyelids. Also, did the two of them give birth to the child outside and did not return to the capital until the child was one or two months old."
Xiao Yanli thought about it, "You're right, they only had one son, Ayi. You're not saying that my sister-in-law was pregnant with twins and lost one of the children out of carelessness without realizing it?"
"Xiao Hongyi is not your nephew, Ming En is your real nephew!"
"absurd!"
No matter how respectful Xiao Yanli was to Jiang Youya, he would not allow him to fabricate the royal bloodline in this way!
Jiang Youya quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. How dare this old minister risk the entire Jiang family by spouting nonsense? Since the marriage was rejected today, Prince Rong will be in the palace this afternoon. I am worried that he will do something bad to you and the little prince, so I am rushing to deliver the antidote."
Xiao Yanli looked at the medicine bottle handed to him, and glanced at his servant's attire. Since it involved the country of Dayuan, he couldn't be too arbitrary. He took the medicine bottle and helped the man up.
"Your words are not enough to prove anything. Besides, since Ayi looks like my sister-in-law, how could he not be her child? Unless my sister-in-law was pregnant with twins back then."
Jiang Youya wanted to tell Ming En that he was still alive, but he was worried that there were spies of Prince Rong in the palace, so he had to keep it a secret for the time being.
"The reason Xiao Hongyi looks like the princess is that he is most likely Gu Wanqing's son."
Xiao Yanli's face changed when he heard this. "Is there any direct evidence?"
"The clue we've found is that the princess gave birth at the Gu family home in Kangcheng. Gu Wanqing's people were all there, so it would have been easy for him to switch the baby! Now we're investigating Xiao Hongyi's biological mother. As long as we find her, we'll know that Xiao Hongyi isn't the princess's child."
Xiao Yanli: "Gu Wanqing's wife passed away a long time ago, and there is no evidence. Even if what you said is true, my sister-in-law will not believe it without clear evidence. Besides, Ming'en is gone. You said Ming'en looks very similar to her, but that is just your one-sided statement. Don't tell me to wait until Wanwan's child is born before checking the face."
"After Wanwan's child was born, everything changed. Xiao Hongyi would have launched a palace coup and rebellion before that! And he had arranged for Cheng Xiao to plant people in the Du family's military camp, which is enough to prove that he had rebellious intentions. And Ming En didn't die of illness, he fell ill after returning from Zhongyi Tower!"
Xiao Yanli's expression grew serious. "I will take what you said as the truth. I will protect myself."
"The palace is probably full of Xiao Hongyi's spies. Here are eight detoxification pills. I can't say they can cure all poisons, but taking one will at least make you immune to all poisons for twelve hours! You and the little prince each take one, and you won't have to worry about your food being tampered with for the next five days."
"Your Majesty, take a detoxification pill first?"
Xiao Yanli wasn't worried that Jiang Youya would harm him. He poured out an antidote pill and ate it. "Okay, you can go back now. I want to see clear evidence in five days."
"yes."
Jiang Youya and Xiao Yanli walked out of the inner room one after another.
Mu Jingxing heard the commotion and pushed the door open. Seeing Xiao Yanli's fierce expression, he asked cautiously, "Grandfather, are you guys done with the discussion?"
"Ah Jing, escort Elder Jiang out of the palace safely. Remember not to let anyone know that Elder Jiang has entered the palace today."
"good."
Mu Jingxing escorted Old Jiang away, and Xiao Yanli poured a detoxification pill into his palm and was about to go to Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is the peony fruit cake made by Boss Jiang's daughter. Would you like to bring it along?"
Xiao Yanli glanced at it and said, "Keep it safe and don't let anyone else get their hands on it. Wait until Yan Xu and his family of four leave the palace before giving it to the little prince."
Wang Gui was puzzled for a moment, "Okay, Your Majesty."
"Secretly and carefully check the servants in Weiyang Palace, and keep a close eye on everyone around the little prince. Strictly control his meals every day."
Wang Gui was shocked. "Could it be that the Emperor thought Prince Rong had any rebellious intentions?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away."
Xiao Yanli went to see the little prince first, and tricked him into swallowing the detoxification pill by drinking water as if it were candy.
"Father, why is this candy not sweet?"
"You swallow it with water, so naturally you don't notice the sweetness."
Xiao Hongyu blinked, "Is your Majesty deceiving me, my son?"
Xiao Yanli patted his little head, "How could the emperor lie to you? The emperor will come over at this time tomorrow to give you some candy. The emperor is going to see your second uncle and will come over to have dinner with you later."
Zhuang Liyue was worried that Concubine Qing would discover the flaw on her face, so she left Xiao Yanli in the imperial garden and left the palace with her son and grandson first.
Xiao Yanxu couldn't sit still anymore after his wife, son, and grandson all left. Seeing Xiao Yanli coming over, he greeted him from a distance, "Brother, Ningning and the others have left the palace. I'm leaving too."
"stop!"
Xiao Yanli hurried over, held his face and looked at it carefully.
If Mr. Jiang hadn't said it, he wouldn't have noticed that Chu Yanxu's face was indeed not very similar to Ayi.
"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Yanxu took Xiao Yanli's hand away and stepped back two feet, "Please don't damage my face. Ningning likes this face of mine the most."
Xiao Yanli felt complicated when he saw this. His younger brother still hadn't grown up.
If Song Mingen is really his biological son, but is buried in the Jiang family's ancestral tomb, would A-di have grown up when he knew the truth?
Don't!
What Mr. Jiang said must be false!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Yanli's eyes were complicated. "What's wrong, big brother? Is there something on your mind?"
"It's okay, go back quickly."
When Cuiyun saw Zhuang Liyue coming back, she sent the servants to talk with Xiao Hongyi in the room for a long time.
Xiao Hongyi left only after Xiao Yanxu rushed back.
Not long after, Zhuang Liyue was upset that his granddaughter-in-law was gone, so he drove Xiao Yanxu to his own yard and asked Fang Jinyue to serve him.
Completely forgot about her!
He didn't even take her into the palace!
And I haven't seen her ask about things in the shop even after coming back for so long!
Cuiyun went to the outer courtyard to look for Lu An, "Old Lu, have you noticed that there is something wrong with our queen?"
Lu An had no chance to notice it in the outer courtyard, but he was always puzzled about why he fainted in Liao's Restaurant that day.
The food was not poisonous, neither the prince, princess, nor the little prince threw it away!
Cuiyun came to ask him, it seemed that something really happened at Liaoji Restaurant that day, "Since you noticed something was wrong, then it must be wrong. What do you want me to do?"
"Go and find out if anything suspicious happened at Liao's Restaurant that day. Especially, find out who the guests were in the private rooms on the same floor as us. Oh, and by the way, what was Tian Xiao doing downstairs that day? Did he notice anything unusual?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll give you the results tomorrow!"
Xiao Hongyi hummed a little tune and went to Lin Yutang's yard.
"Oh, Your Highness is in a good mood. Is the Emperor going to punish the Du and Jiang families?"
Xiao Hongyi sat down and put his head on her bulging belly, and whispered, "Our little son will also be a prince in the future."
"How is that possible?"
"If the king says he is, then he is. Just wait, it won't be long before our youngest son becomes a prince."
Lin Yutang screamed inwardly, "Is the Emperor going to make his son the crown prince?"
Xiao Hongyi sat up straight and held her round chin, "Guess?"
The little prince has been eating the diet recipes they carefully prepared for several days, and he will be seriously ill in the next two days.
If the emperor admires the orchid in the imperial study every day, his body will not only become healthy but also very obedient.
They can take over the vast empire without losing a single soldier.
The next day, at dawn, Asi arrived at Fengquan Villa.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
