The princess is very versatile, leaving the prince to become the richest

"So it's Prince Wang, my apologies.

Our crown prince is neither the third prince nor the fifth prince.

It's our second prince!"

The captain spoke in a rhythmic manner.

His answer surprised the prince.

“The crown prince is actually the second prince?

Doesn’t the second prince spend all his time sightseeing, paying tribute to his deceased wife, and ignoring state affairs?

How did he become the crown prince?

The captain didn't dare to answer his questions, but just nodded at him with a smile.

This result also surprised Jiang Qingyu and the others.

"Why is it the second brother?

There must be some misunderstanding here!"

Xiao Jingyu, who had just said that the prince was the one who harmed the emperor, immediately changed his words when he heard that the prince was Xiao Jingshi.

Although he didn't have much contact with Xiao Jingshi, he would never be wrong in judging people.

If there was no reason, he didn't believe that Xiao Jingshi would do such a thing.

His second brother is a smart man, but this matter is obviously not a smart thing to do.

“Well, I don’t believe Xiao Jingshi would do such a thing. I still know his character.

There must be something fishy going on here, he must have his reasons for doing this!"

After Jiang Qingyu knew that Xiao Jingshi was the crown prince, she relaxed a little about her worries about the child.

No matter what, Xiao Jingshi has been the child's godfather for four or five years, and now he is the child's uncle, which makes them even closer relatives.

Jiang Qingyu agreed with his idea, and Xiao Jingyu should have been happy.

But then he thought about how much she trusted another man, and he couldn't help feeling a little jealous, even though that man was his second brother.

"How are we supposed to get into the city when it's heavily guarded?"

When Jiang Qingyu asked this question, she felt a little guilty, because she could actually hide in the space with Xiao Jingyu.

However, she didn’t know how to explain it to Jamel Xiao now.

Therefore, she had to ask Xiao Jingyu first to see if he had any good ideas.

If it really doesn't work, she will tell this method again. After all, the situation is critical now and human lives are at stake. She can't care about anything else.

"Wait until it gets dark!"

Seeing Xiao Jingyu looking confident, Jiang Qingyu knew that he already had a plan and felt relieved.

Now that things have come to this, they are not in a hurry.

"Okay, let's go wait under that tree."

Jiang Qingyu pointed to a tree in the distance.

Since the captain had said that there was no hope of returning to Beijing, most people left.

Only a few people who had nowhere to go were left here.

They were dressed in rags, with unkempt hair and dirty faces, and it was obvious that they had come here begging.

They stayed far away from the city gate and waited until it opened before entering.

During this time, when it was time for dinner, Jiang Qingyu and the others took out their dry food and were about to eat when they felt the burning gazes around them.

Looking up, I saw two half-grown children drooling at the food in their hands.

They looked only slightly taller than Ran'er, but were much thinner than Ran'er, and could even be described as skinny.

Coupled with their pitiful looks, Jiang Qingyu, as a mother, was overwhelmed with maternal love and felt very distressed for them.

"Come here, kid."

Looking at them, Jiang Qingyu smiled kindly, waved to them, motioned them to come over, and gave them food.

At this time, a man came over, stopped them, and apologized to Jiang Qingyu.

"I'm sorry, sir. The child is ignorant and disturbed you. I will take him away and discipline him."

After saying that, he was about to beat the two children.

The two children seemed to be used to it. They didn't hide or cry, and even their eyes didn't leave the cake in Jiang Qingyu's hand.

Seeing that the man was about to attack the child, Jiang Qingyu immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Hey, who are you to them?

I was the one who asked them to come over, why did you hit the children?

Did you kidnap this child?"

When the man saw that he had angered Jiang Qingyu, he immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake to Jiang Qingyu.

“No, no, no, sir, I am their father.

You are obviously a wealthy person, please do not bother with us lowly people. I will take them away right away so as not to spoil your fun."

Seeing the man being so self-deprecating, Jiang Qingyu realized that there must be something going on.

It just so happens that they have nothing to do right now, so let's see if I can help them.

So, Jiang Qingyu stuffed the pancake in her hand into the hands of the two boys.

After the man came, the two boys seemed like different people and refused to do anything.

“Don’t be afraid, I gave it to you voluntarily. Even your father would not let you starve.

Take it quickly!

Eat slowly, and if you are thirsty, I have some water."

As he said this, he touched their heads lovingly.

One of the boys licked his lips and spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

"poisonous!"

Jiang Qingyu then realized that the father did not allow his children to eat his food out of concern for their safety.

In order to reassure them, Jiang Qingyu broke off a piece of each pancake and ate it, proving with his actions that the pancakes were not poisonous.

"Yes, I swallowed it all.

It’s not poisonous, right?

So, the two boys looked at Jiang Qingyu and then at their father, and then they started to eat voraciously.

Seeing that the two children were eating happily, the father apologized to Jiang Qingyu with red eyes.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood your good intentions."

After some conversation, Jiang Qingyu finally understood why the father was so nervous when he saw her calling two people over.

It turned out that they came to the capital to escape famine.

When they set out, they were a family of five. Now only he and his two sons are left. His wife and daughter died on the way.

Although it's pitiful, it's normal.

On the road to fleeing famine, the elderly, children, and women with weak constitutions are more likely to have accidents.

Jiang Qingyu comforted the man, and the man cried and said that his wife and daughter did not die because of fleeing famine.

“Sir, my wife and daughter were deliberately killed.

That time, just like today, our family had been hungry for two or three days. When we were taking shelter from the rain in a dilapidated temple, a group of young men came in to take shelter from the rain.

They brought a lot of food and grilled it there, and the little daughter and two sons couldn't help staring at them.

Seeing the children were greedy, the other party gave each of them a big cake. "

At this point, the man burst into tears and sobbed while wiping his tears.

Jiang Qingyu looked at him like this and asked in a low voice.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

What he got was a rebuttal from the man.

"If that's the case, how could these two children be without a mother, and how could I lose my daughter?"

His voice rose a pitch, then realizing it was too loud, he softened it and continued.

“At first I thought they were taking pity on us and giving us something to eat.
