Two days later, Xing Zizhou and Feng Yinan, who went out to inquire about the news, came back together and brought back exciting news - the second prince was released!
King Yanhe was indeed panicked, fearing that the eldest prince's party would dominate. If the eldest prince really wanted to rebel, there would be no other force to check him.
What's more, in the second prince's situation, at most he is just having an affair with the concubine.
In the face of major national events, this little thing is nothing. At least this son has never done anything that really hurt himself in all these years.
In fact, King Yanhe did not really believe that the eldest prince was not good for him. He just suddenly understood through the injury that the power between the two sons must be balanced, and one must not dominate.
"Master, now that the second prince has been released, Concubine Lian..." Little Cherry looked at her, a little hesitant.
"I see that Concubine Lian has been in a bad mood these past few days. She is frightened and her health is not feeling well. I'm afraid..."
"She is fine for the time being. She is just flustered. It's fine. Let her endure it for a few more days and then send her back to the palace after the baby is born."
Jiu'er knows better than anyone how Concubine Lian is doing. She goes to check Concubine Lian's pulse every day.
"I think she is worried about the future." Qiao Mu said lightly.
A concubine in the palace who has been exposed to such rumors may have a difficult life in the palace in the future.
"When the child is born, I will make a bloody confession with King Yihe. In order to stabilize the second prince, King Yihe will not sentence them no matter what the outcome."
Everyone naturally knows what King Yanhe is thinking now. At this time, even if the child really belongs to the second prince, he can't say anything. At most, he will secretly execute the child and Concubine Lian.
However, if the child is his own, then he should also plan for his own future.
With two sons, the sharing of power is indeed too great. With one more son, the future may be more secure.
As for Concubine Lian, she may really not receive any favors in the future, but isn't this the life of a woman in the palace?
It is simply impossible to remain favored forever. You should have thought of it on the first day you became a concubine.
"Little Cherry, have you contacted the midwife?"
"We have already contacted them. They are all nearby people. When the time comes, we just need to find someone. They will be here in less than a cup of tea."
Feng Jiuer nodded, "Go and take good care of Concubine Lian, and tell her the news of the second prince's release so that she can feel at ease."
The release of the second prince means that their crime of smuggling is not established, at least not on the surface.
"Okay." Little Cherry nodded, lowered her head and walked out the door, still not daring to look at Xing Zizhou.
"What's going on between you two recently? Did you have a quarrel?" Feng Jiuer glanced sideways at Xing Zizhou.
Little Cherry has been avoiding Xing Zizhou, anyone can see it.
Xing Zizhou smiled and said lightly: "It's okay, I'm just shy, little lady."
"You obviously know that she..." Jiu'er rolled her eyes at him and then said, "I'm not against you being together, but don't force this little girl."
"You sound like you're not a little girl." Qiao Mu snorted.
Feng Jiuer glared at her: "Talk too much!"
"Exactly." Qiao Mu was sitting on a chair, drinking tea and not talking. She didn't understand things like feelings anyway, and if she said it, it would be in vain, so she wouldn't talk too much.
Feng Yinan was always the quietest. When they had finished talking, he said: "The second prince was indirectly imprisoned by the eldest prince. Now that the king has released the second prince, the eldest prince will not let it go."
"I know." Feng Jiu'er nodded. Uncle Nine Emperors should have thought of this too. If the eldest prince really "gives up", it would be meaningless, and it would be a waste of time for Uncle Nine Emperors to come and admire him.
"Yinan is relatively familiar with the situation here in Yuanhe. In this case, you can go for a walk outside and spread a little bit of information."
"The king suspects that the eldest prince has assassinated him, and now he intends to make the second prince his heir apparent?"
"Um."
Feng Yinan nodded and immediately said: "It's a small matter, I'll take care of it immediately."
So that night, there was such a rumor in the streets and alleys that the king intended to appoint the second prince as the heir apparent!
The news spread quickly throughout the entire imperial capital like a plague.
It was night, Feng Jiuer and Qiao Mu went out together.
As for why Xue Gu was not brought along, it was because there was too much movement and their place would be exposed at will.
Everyone else didn't care, but here they had Concubine Lian who didn't know any martial arts at all and was even pregnant with Liujia and on the verge of giving birth.
With Xue Gu here, at least Concubine Lian's safety is guaranteed.
Blood-stained boots were found in the eldest prince's palace. The eldest prince's steward, Uncle Yan Zhong, has been detained by the king's people and is now being held in the palace prison.
Uncle Yan Zhong lives peacefully in prison, so what's the point?
The second prince has been released. It is impossible that the eldest prince is still being detained. How unfair is it?
After Jiuer and Qiao Mu sneaked into the palace, they knocked out two guards, changed into the guards' clothes, and followed the route Feng Yinan had found out before, and reached the dungeon of the palace.
In fact, King Yanhe did not really accuse Uncle Yanzhong. As Feng Jiuer said, this matter actually looks like a frame-up.
Others can see that King Yanhe is not a fool, so of course they will be suspicious.
But the problem now is that Concubine Lian has really disappeared, and he has really been assassinated. Unless Shu Yanzhong is detained, there is no way he can be justified.
Just when Jiu'er and Qiao Mu saw the direction of the dungeon from a distance and were about to find a way to sneak in, the sound of fighting came from the other side of the dungeon.
Someone has robbed the prison!
The two of them looked at each other and immediately jumped onto the tree. They didn't dare to get too close. They just hid on the top of the tree and watched what happened.
The process of robbing a prison is fast! Accurate! Cruel!
The noise of the fighting was no more than half a stick of incense, but it had almost quieted down, and it was clear that Uncle Yanzhong was taken away.
Only a few people came, but in just half a stick of incense, the robbery was completed.
But she stared at everyone over there, but she didn't see the figure that haunted her. He didn't come...
Also, this kind of trivial matter can be solved by the brother of the Twelve Flying Dragon Riders, so why does he need to do it himself?
Her Nine Emperors uncle is very proud.
"It seems that someone has the same goal as us." Qiao Mu stared at the guards chasing him over there and said in a deep voice: "Jiu'er, go back first."
"Okay." Looking at more and more guards below, Feng Jiuer frowned slightly: "Leave separately and go back after dawn."
"Understood." Qiao Mu nodded, stepped lightly, and left first.
Feng Jiuer flew over the treetops and climbed over the high wall of the palace, but just as she entered the dense forest in the distance, she was suddenly pulled over by someone.
