Chapter 533: No Title
The news of Xiao Hongyi's family's death was delivered to the Imperial Study at 3:00 PM the next day, eight hundred miles away.
Xiao Yanli breathed a sigh of relief after reading the good news.
Dayuan Jiangshan is now stable.
Xiao Yanli then went to Kunning Palace.
"Empress, I've raised Yu'er for you for so many days, isn't it time to return her to me?"
"Lin'er, stop reading and lie down and rest for a while. You'll get tired if you sit for too long."
"Queen!"
The young prince glanced at Concubine Qing, who was frantic but remained calm, and whispered, "Mother, I haven't had the chestnut cake you made for a long time. I'm particularly craving it today. Please ask you to take me back to Weiyang Palace and I'll come back tomorrow."
Concubine Qing was delighted. Yu'er just felt sorry for her. When she returned to Weiyang Palace, she would have all kinds of reasons to keep Yu'er.
The queen said softly, "The chestnut cake is too sweet. The imperial physician said you can't eat cakes that are too sweet."
The little prince said, "The chestnut cakes made by your majesty are not too sweet and are very delicious. The palace maids and the imperial chefs cannot make them. I will go back and ask your majesty to make more. I will bring them to you tomorrow to taste. Okay?"
Su Qiqi's heart almost melted when she saw her adorable son. She couldn't bear to refuse him, "Okay!"
Concubine Qing quickly stood up and walked over to pull the little prince away.
The queen picked up the little prince and avoided the hand that Concubine Qing extended.
Concubine Qing frowned. Could it be that Su Qiqi wanted to send Yu'er back to Weiyang Palace?
"Empress, I'm sorry you've been so tired of taking care of Yu'er all day. Please let me take Yu'er back."
Only then did Su Qiqi look closely at Concubine Qing's face.
Tsk, thirty-six years have passed. The face that was so charming and seductive back then has now become round, smooth, dignified and steady.
It’s a pity that he has also aged and lost his kindness and gentleness.
Concubine Qing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"Queen, stop staring at me. I'm still a great beauty even when I'm old. It's getting late. We should return to Weiyang Palace, mother and son."
"Madam Yu, go to the small kitchen and prepare all the ingredients needed to make chestnut cake. In half an incense stick of time, the Imperial Concubine will go to the kitchen to make chestnut cake for us mother and son."
Concubine Qing was dumbfounded, "Your Majesty! I want to return to Weiyang Palace."
Su Qiqi glared at her. "Why are you going back? It's getting dark soon. Weiyang Palace is so far away. Wouldn't it be very tiring for Lin'er, who is so small, to walk there?"
"We have the imperial chariot, so we don't have to walk back."
"The palace chariot just broke down."
"My imperial chariot is not broken!"
"Your Majesty." At this time, Aunt Luo came in. "Just now, the chief steward of Kunning Palace took the palace sedan away and sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for inspection."
Concubine Qing was furious, thinking the Queen did it on purpose!
Su Qiqi pursed her lips. Fight with her?
"Alright, Lin'er, you want some chestnut cake. When it's almost ready, go to the small kitchen. Oh, by the way, it will be dark by the time you're done, and there's no carriage. I'll let you stay in my side hall tonight."
"Huh? Concubine, you are here too." Xiao Yanli walked in.
The little prince ran over quickly and said, "Mother is going to make chestnut cake for us. By the time Mother is done, it will be time for dinner. Let's sit down and eat slowly together as a family."
Xiao Yanli glanced at Su Qiqi's face and saw no sign of objection. "Okay, whatever you say."
Concubine Qing was feeling very sad. She came to take Yu'er back to Weiyang Palace to live in love with her.
So angry!
Su Qiqi has returned to normal, but she is going to live a life where the man is competing with her for her son!
Concubine Qing hurriedly whispered to Luo Gu, "Go back and get some toiletries and some clothes and accessories."
She's staying here and won't leave!
Concubine Qing turned to Xiao Yanli and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to the small kitchen to make chestnut cakes."
"No hurry, since you're here, I'll tell you all about it. Xiao Hongyi's family was given poisoned wine at midnight in the city yesterday."
"What?!" Su Qiqi's anger suddenly bubbled up from her heart. She said she forgot something important. "Didn't you say to send Xiao Hongyi back so that I could take revenge personally? You just wouldn't listen to me!"
Su Qiqi turned around to get her ruler. She wanted to hit someone!
"Qiqi, don't get excited. Calm down. It was Xiao Hongyi who stole the poisoned wine and ended his life." Xiao Yanli quickly carried the little prince to her. "Yu'er is still young and can't bear to see blood."
Imperial Concubine Qing: ...
Your Majesty is truly great!
He actually asked Yu'er to calm the Queen's anger!
When Su Qiqi saw the face that looked like her Lin'er, her anger subsided a lot, "He's not Yu'er, he's Lin'er!"
"Okay, okay, he is Lin'er, your biological son."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Qing's face turned into a puffer fish again with anger.
The emperor wants to give Yu'er, whom she raised, to the queen as her own son.
A few days ago, the emperor said that he wanted to bring Yu'er back to her!
It's only been so long and you've already forgotten!
Dog man!
Imperial Concubine Qing wasn't angry for long, as she quickly thought of the important matter. "Your Majesty, Xiao Hongyi and Zhuang Liyue are both cunning people. What if they're not completely dead?"
Su Qiqi said, "Since I can't take revenge myself, I have to find the body alive or dead. If they fake their own death and imitate what happened thirty-six years ago, Lin'er and the other royal bloodlines won't be able to withstand any more trouble."
Concubine Qing couldn't help but worry, "Your Majesty, please order them to be sent back."
Xiao Yanli said, "Don't worry, they are on their way back. I will personally go outside the city to confirm before sending them to the mass grave for burial."
Su Qiqi: "How many soldiers does Xiao Hongyi raise privately?"
"Three thousand. They brought a thousand men to rescue last night, but perhaps they were overconfident when they were almost at the rescue point and only brought a hundred men to surround them. Now, these men have been taken over by General Du and brought back to the capital for reorganization and redistribution."
Su Qiqi asked again: "Where does the emperor plan to assign them?"
"Military Camp."
Concubine Qing was inexplicably relieved when she heard this. "Your Majesty, please wait. We can have the chestnut cake in half an hour at the earliest."
"Mother, wait for me. I'm going to help you."
When Concubine Qing saw the little prince running towards her on his short legs, she was very pleased. She felt that her son had not been raised in vain. "Quickly, Queen, stop Yu'er."
She couldn't bear to let Yu'er go to the small kitchen.
"If Lin'er wants to go, we must satisfy him. You do it, and we mother and daughter will just watch from the side!" Su Qiqi walked out of the hall holding the little prince's hand. Turning back, she saw Concubine Qing still standing there, and she couldn't help but frown, "What's the matter? My words don't work?"
Concubine Qing hurried forward, "Oh, here she comes."
Seeing that he was ignored by the two, Xiao Yanli hurriedly followed them.
"Father, Xiao Hongyi and his family were given poisoned wine outside the city at midnight last night."
"Are you sure he's dead?"
Song Mingen said, "It's impossible for them to survive. Their bodies will be sent outside the city for your Majesty to personally inspect in a few days. Xiao Hongyi has raised a full three thousand soldiers."
Xiao Yanxu couldn't help but feel a little scared when he heard this, fortunately he didn't hand over the Dragon Guard.
Otherwise, Xiao Hongyi would have rebelled eighteen years ago.
"That's great! Father can rest assured now. We can celebrate your birthday the day after tomorrow. Go back and be with Wanwan. She's going to give birth in a few months, so you need to spend more time with her."
"Yes, father."
Xiao Yanxu entered Gu Yining's inner room and said, "Ningning, you can rest assured. Zhuang Liyue and her son gave poisoned wine to the people in the city last night."
Gu Yining: "Are you sure Xiao Hongyi only has one mistress?"
Xiao Yanxu thought for a moment, "There shouldn't be any more. We raised him, and he's not the type to be obsessed with beauty. Even if there is, it won't cause any big waves."
"For safety reasons, arrange for people to conduct a city-wide search for any young men under the age of eighteen who look similar to Xiao Hongyi."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. How are you feeling now? Can you come out for Aye's birthday party the day after tomorrow?"
Gu Yining got off the couch and turned around in front of him. "Don't look at me as thin. I've almost recovered and will slowly gain weight in a few days. It's all because of Sister Yu who took care of me. Sister Yu is so good to me. Sister Ye must be jealous when she sees this."
"Haha..." Xiao Yanxu laughed, "I see Sister Yu goes to her room every day. She's trying to take care of both sides, fearing that you sisters will fight over her..."
