"Are you worried about Yun'er, or the exiled Zhang family?"
The prince couldn't help but asked directly. Even if he knew that the Zhang family was innocent, he had no way to overturn the case for the Zhang family. The current emperor was like a vicious dog that would bite whoever he wanted.
Zhang Qianqian was frightened by the prince and quickly stood up and saluted him.
"I'm worried about Yun'er and the Zhang family. It's so chaotic out there right now, and even the kilometer is running out of water. I don't know what's going to happen to them on the road."
The prince also looked outside. The bare, dead trees and flowers, and the dried-up fish pond made people feel sad.
"I can't help with the Zhang family's affairs. The emperor won't let up on this matter. I've already sent people to stop the pursuers from Yun'er's side, and I've already dealt with two batches of killers."
Zhang Qianqian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't expect that even though her child had already left Jinling, there would still be someone who wanted to kill her child.
What she didn't expect was that the prince who usually ignored her would actually protect Yun'er, and she didn't expect that he would send someone to protect Yun'er.
The prince looked at Zhang Qianqian's suspicious eyes, his mouth twitched a few times, but he had no way to refute.
"Don't look at me like that. Yun'er is also my son. I have wiped out the last trace of Yun'er. Your secret guards are quite capable. They actually shook off all the pursuers. Now we have no idea where they are going, but anyone with a keen eye can guess that they are heading to Qiong Island. Some people will send people to intercept them along the way. I have lost track of them and can only passively intercept them."
The prince said this in order to find out the whereabouts of the child. He wanted to make plans in advance. He was worried that the secret guards would send the child to the team escorting prisoners, which would be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
"I gave the secret guards the order to go to Qiong Island. They won't show up during the journey. Once they get there, someone will naturally pick them up. We have some connections there, all of them are family members, and their indentures are in the hands of the Zhang family."
Zhang Qianqian did not reveal the whereabouts of the child. To be honest, she didn't know where Yun'er and the others were now. She could only say that it depended on fate.
The prince understood the meaning of Zhang Qianqian's words and didn't say much. When he was about to leave, he stood at the door of the main hall without looking back.
"Zhang Qianqian, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you over the years."
After saying that, he left Yimei Cottage. Zhang Qianqian couldn't believe her ears when she heard the prince's apology. Was this something the arrogant prince could say?
At this time, Zhou Qingyun did not travel around the mountains as Zhang Qianqian had expected. Instead, he was disguised by the secret guards as a child with a sallow complexion. The secret guards also took off their black clothes and put on clothes with patches on top of patches. The two of them, like little beggars, mixed in with the refugees and slowly moved away from Jinling.
Now the people searching for them are rushing through the woods, trying to find the prince's bastard.
The prince returned to his own bedroom and began to arrange people to do things. Since the queen and her son had given him such a big surprise, he had to reciprocate, so as to justify their calculations. As for the emperor who had been immersed in the land of tenderness, he had to be given a surprise as well.
That night, two letters came out of the East Palace, one was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the other was delivered to the Crown Princess's brother who was far away in Wucheng.
Like the Second Prince, he had countless concubines and naturally many children. The Second Prince's wife had two daughters and one son, and his two concubines had a son and a daughter each. Tonight, when the seven children were asleep, someone opened a crack in the window, and smoke blew into the room, knocking the people on guard inside unconscious.
Someone avoided the secret guards of the Second Prince's Mansion and entered the house with a bag. The bag contained a poisonous snake, the kind that would kill instantly. The secret guard put the snake's head on the child's leg and let the snake bite him. Soon the child's leg turned purple and black. Because he was unconscious, he could not make any sound for help.
The secret guard waited there, and after making sure that the child was not breathing, he went to the second prince's wife's bedroom and gave her a sterilization drug. This drug not only sterilizes, but also causes pregnant women to miscarry silently. He also gave the drug to all the second prince's women, and even the illegitimate sons were not spared.
They had just left the Second Prince's Mansion and entered the East Palace through the secret passage. They were then ordered to leave Jinling and head to Qiong Island. Their new order was to find the Third Young Master and protect him at all costs. They carried a lot of valuables with them and left Jinling City overnight.
The second prince, who had killed the three legitimate children of the crown prince, was now drinking happily with the queen in the queen's Pepper Room. The mother and son were drinking openly and honestly. They finished the wine in the jug very quickly and asked someone to go down and get more. At this time, a strange maid was standing at the door. The maid who came out happened to see her and asked her to go and get some wine while she took a break.
The maid quickly brought back a pot of wine, and the people inside started drinking again. The maid outside the door saw what was happening inside through the crack in the door and left the Pepper Room quietly.
The next morning, the Second Prince and the Queen, who were still hungover, received news that something had happened in the Second Prince's mansion.
The second prince hurried back to the mansion and looked at the five corpses covered with white cloth placed in the front hall. His princess and two concubines knelt on the ground and cried heart-wrenchingly.
She howled at the Second Prince to avenge her children. The Second Prince lifted the white cloth and looked at the purple marks on her children's bodies and the two teeth marks on their legs. There was still something he didn't understand in his heart.
Last night, my mother told me to pay attention to the situation in the mansion and not let the prince seize the opportunity to take revenge. However, before the next night, his son and daughter got into trouble. What is there to be unclear about? It was obviously the prince's doing.
