Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 134 You Don’t Need to Use Honey Trap on Me
Wei Luoyan was stunned. He didn't expect that Deng Huajie knew about him and Ji Yunchu.

Since Concubine Shu has not given birth to a prince, he does not intend to break up with the prince now.

"Your second aunt deserves to die, but Deng Qiqi..."

Ji Yunchu said anxiously, "Why would you dirty your hands if you want to kill her? It's because Second Aunt's daughter is Ji Qinqin, and Ji Qinqin is now the prince's woman. If she whispers something in the prince's ear, what if the prince finds out about you and me?"

Wei Luoyan frowned and thought for a while.

"Yunchu, since Deng Huajie knows our secret, Deng Qiqi will be handed over to you. Shuda, let him go."

When Ji Yunchu saw that her goal had been achieved, she couldn't help but smile.

"There is no time to lose. Luo Yan, you should have a good rest."

When Deng Qiqi saw that Ji Yunchu really asked Wei Luoyan to let him go, he looked at Ji Yunchu with admiration and secretly guessed the relationship between Ji Yunchu and Wei Luoyan.

Ji Yunchu placed Deng Qiqi in the villa under her name and hired a doctor to treat Deng Qiqi's injuries.

Deng Qiqi saw the sun again and was in a good mood.

"Miss Ji, Ji Xiuyi is the Duke's biological brother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects the Duke's Mansion. If I report Ji Xiuyi, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intervene in the matter?"

"No!" Ji Yunchu said confidently.

The prince was eager to draw a clear line between himself and her.

Deng Qiqi was delighted because he had accidentally saved a gangster that Ji Xiuyi had sent someone to pretend to be, and he had evidence that Ji Xiuyi was plotting to murder his family.

At that time, the Duke was still alive and had the Crown Prince as his backer. He had no power or influence and did not dare to confront him head-on. But now it is different. The Duke has passed away, and Ji Yunchu, who is about to become the Crown Princess, is willing to join forces with him.

"Miss Ji, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Have you thought it through? Once this matter is reported to the authorities, the Duke's Mansion will be severely damaged."

Ji Yunchu suppressed the fierceness in her eyes.

Now the Second House is against her, wishing to pave the way for Ji Qinqin who is in the Eastern Palace. If her clan members knew that the prince wanted to break off the engagement with her, she would definitely fall to the bottom.

So no matter what the cost, she must cut off Ji Qinqin's support first.

"My dear cousin, I have certainly thought about this carefully. You don't know yet, do you? Ji Qinqin has entered the East Palace. She is now the Crown Prince's concubine."

"What!" Deng Qiqi was shocked. "If Ji Qinqin knew that I reported her parents, would His Royal Highness let me go?"

"Don't worry about this, cousin. Ji Qinqin is just a concubine, and I am the Crown Princess. I don't think I need to explain it in detail, right?"

Deng Qi said with a smile, "Of course, Ji Xiuyi and the others are dead!"

In the palace, the queen was tired of admiring the flowers, so she asked Cao Lingru to leave the palace and go back.

Seeing that he had no chance to speak anymore, Cao Lingru spoke in one breath.

"Empress, can you grant a marriage between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yunchu?"

A hint of sneer flashed across Kong Wanhan's eyes.

"Madam, the Crown Prince has already gone to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Cao Lingru had a lot of words in her mind that were stuck in her throat. She couldn't just ask the prince to wait for her daughter for three years.

The prince had waited for Yunchu for three years because of her mother-in-law's death. Now Yunchu had finally passed the mourning period, and the prince had just proposed marriage not long ago when the Duke passed away.

Cao Lingru gritted her teeth and clenched her hands tightly, ready to risk it all for her daughter!
"Empress, you know Yunchu's feelings for His Royal Highness. Unfortunately, my Duke died young, and he was looking forward to His Royal Highness and Yunchu getting married early."

Kong Wanhan lazily placed her hand on Nanny Mei's arm.

"As a mother, I can understand the deep love that the Duke's wife has for her daughter. Since you are so worried about Ji Yunchu's marriage, I will consider it. After all, getting married in Rexiaoli is not in accordance with etiquette."

Cao Lingru couldn't hide her joy when she heard this. As long as the Queen was willing to give in, there would be some hope.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." "Okay, you can go back now." Kong Wanhan glanced at Cao Lingru indifferently, turned around and left slowly.

After the joyful look, Cao Lingru looked tired. She hoped that the emperor and empress would grant a marriage between the crown prince and Yunchu in consideration of the merits that the Duke's Mansion had made.

Yuan Niang stepped forward to support Cao Lingru, "Madam, the Queen has relented, you can go back and rest in peace now."

Cao Lingru rubbed her chest, feeling that something was about to happen, which made her inexplicably uneasy.

"Even though your Majesty Queen said so, it may not work. Don't tell Yunchu for now."

"Yes."

……

About half an hour later, Han Yan returned to Prince Zhong's Mansion and told Ji Anyu what happened in the Duke's Mansion.

"Miss, Deng Qiqi is not dead. Ji Yunchu took him out of Nanhou Mansion and placed him in a separate courtyard. The Duke's wife also came to the palace to ask to see the Queen. I don't know why, but now the Duke's wife has left the palace."

Ji Anyu leaned on the table with her chin supported by her hand.

"Ji Yunchu probably doesn't know that Wei Luoyan's sachet is in my hands. The sachet she sent to Nanhou Mansion this time is most likely not poisonous. Oh, that's great, but why did Ji Yunchu rescue Deng Qiqi from Nanhou Mansion?"

Ji Anyu's eyes rolled around and he tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers.

"When Deng Qiqi was trapped in Nanhou Mansion, Ji Xiuyi and his men ruthlessly abandoned Deng Qiqi. Deng Qiqi must hate them to the core now."

"Hanyan, stay put and keep an eye on Deng Qiqi. I want to see what they want to do. As for the queen, I don't have any spies in the palace, but Shen Jing should have some."

Ji Anyu strolled to the kitchen.

"Is the soup I asked someone to make for the prince ready?"

"My Lady Princess, it's already cooked. I was just about to tell you."

Ji Anyu leaned over to take a look and saw that the soup was very thick.

"I'll bring it to the prince myself." Ji Anyu held the soup with a smile and walked carefully to the study.

Shen Jing was reading a secret report in the study. When he heard Zhu Sha cough lightly, he smiled sweetly.

"Why is my wife here?"

"I came to see you. I brought you some soup. Drink it while it's hot." Ji Anyu put the soup on the table, turned around and walked towards Shen Jing.

Shen Jing glanced at the soup and frowned subconsciously. Could it be another medicinal meal?

"Husband, what are you looking at? A secret report? Is it from the palace?" Ji Anyu stretched her neck to look over.

Shen Jing looked up at Ji Anyu with a half-smile, "Madam, you wanted to ask me about the palace. Giving me the soup was just a convenience."

Ji Anyu smiled flatteringly, pulled Shen Jing's arm away, and sat on Shen Jing.

"Since you know, my husband, then tell me. I don't want to ask everything. I just want to know why Cao Lingru went to see the queen."

Shen Jing's blood suddenly boiled and he held down Ji Anyu who was moving restlessly.

"If you want to know, I will tell you. There is no need to use any honey traps."

He took a deep breath, gently pushed Ji Anyu, then stood up, and took Ji Anyu's hand to the table where the soup was placed.

"Madam Guogong went to ask the Queen to ask the Emperor to grant a marriage between the Crown Prince and Ji Yunchu."

"Oh, so that's what happened. Do you think the prince and Ji Yunchu will get married?"

"No." Shen Jing poured the soup into a small bowl.
