"It seems that Your Highness knows what I want to ask."

Jiang Hao had already heard the answer she wanted from the deposed prince's words, but she still hoped to hear it directly from his mouth.

The deposed crown prince was defeated by the second prince's faction not because he was stupid, but because of his kindness.

What's more, my uncle has always been cautious in doing things, and it is impossible for him to take the risk and appear here twice in just a few days.

So, how could he not guess the reason why Jiang Hao came to see him alone.

Jiang Hao took out the jade pendant that proved his original identity: "Your Highness, you should be familiar with this jade pendant, right?"

The deposed crown prince looked at the jade pendant in Jiang Hao's hand, his eyes suddenly reddened. He still remembered vividly the scene of him holding back his grief and cutting out the bloody baby from the crown princess' belly.

How could he not recognize it?

This was a jade pendant that he had specially commissioned for his unborn child, which he prepared with great joy.

However, before the child was born, a major change occurred in the Prince's Mansion.

His mother committed suicide in Changle Palace, and his wife, children and concubines were killed by the sword in front of him. He wanted to follow them, but if he died, more people would die because of him.

That night when he was alone with them, he boldly cut open the Crown Princess's belly, stuffed the jade pendant into the swaddling clothes, and gave it to the wet nurse in the mansion.

He had once done a favor to General Huo, who was the guard. It was because the general still remembered this favor that he turned a blind eye and allowed the wet nurse to escape from the deposed prince's mansion with the child through the dog hole.

He remembered the child...

"Okay, someone's coming."

Xu Xing suddenly ran over, took a look at the person lying on the bed in deep thought, then pulled Jiang Hao and hurried away.

Jiang Hao immediately put away the jade pendant and pointed upwards. Then the two of them used the round stool that the emperor had sat on to jump onto the beam.

The beams were wide and thick, and they were hidden apart. Unless the people below looked up carefully, they would not be able to find them at all.

It was the eunuch who had just left who had returned.

The eunuch was about thirty years old, slightly hunched over, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, and said sharply, "Since you are awake, drink it while it's hot."

He didn't want to serve this useless man, but His Majesty actually came in person, which scared them a lot. Now that he was not going to die, they could only serve him well.

The eunuch did not wait for the deposed crown prince to respond. He pried open his mouth with one hand and with the other hand took the medicine bowl and poured the medicine into his mouth. In just a few seconds, the whole bowl of medicine was emptied.

The deposed prince drank half, spilled the other half, and let it flow down the corners of his mouth and all went down his neck.

The eunuch completed his mission and hurried away with the medicine bowl.

Jiang Hao and the other man jumped down from the beam and used a handkerchief to wipe the medicine off the deposed prince.

"Did His Highness say that?"

Xu Xing asked.

Jiang Hao nodded, glanced at the abandoned prince with dazed eyes, and whispered, "Ji Yan lied to me!"

Ji Yan!

No matter who you are from the original body, since you are using me, you must be prepared to be bitten back.

When Xu Xing saw her finish speaking, her eyes revealed a murderous look, and he quickly said, "We shouldn't stay here for long, let's go out first."

……

Outside the Deposed Crown Prince's Mansion, Zhuifeng Jinglei and others saw the emperor leaving, but did not see Xu Xing and the other two come out, and they were all very nervous.

Zhuifeng looked at Jinglei and asked, "What should we do? Will something happen?"

Jing Lei was also worried, but he did not receive the signal agreed with the prince, so he calmed down and said, "Wait a little longer."

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Xing and Jiang Hao appeared in this deserted yard...
