He had no idea what kind of water it was, but it tasted like spring water, but sweeter than spring water, without a trace of bitterness, and didn't feel like medicine.

If Qingxi hadn't brought back a water bag in time last time, he would have had a hard time holding on as the poison was taking effect.

It has been more than a month since the last time the poison broke out, and the cold poison has not appeared again.

In the past, the poison would attack him once every seven days. This made him realize that the water given by Li Mengyue was not simple.

However, he also knew that this water was of great importance, so he didn't tell anyone. Even Doctor Luo was just surprised how he suppressed the cold poison.

Even if he and Li Mengyue didn't have children, just because the water could help him suppress the cold poison, he would not do anything to Li Mengyue. On the contrary, he would protect her.

This was also the reason why he went to Xinghua Village and went to look for Li Mengyue in person when he learned that she had been kidnapped.

What he didn't expect was that Li Mengyue gave him such a big surprise, giving him the opportunity to become a father, raise his children himself and enjoy family happiness.

And because of his background, he never experienced what it was like to have brothers since he was a child. All he had was jealousy and assassination.

Even if the emperor favored him, he was still under pressure and could not go against the majority opinion and directly make him the crown prince.

He also had to go far to the frontier, personally fight on the battlefield and kill the enemy, and make countless military achievements before he could gain a foothold.

However, he never regretted going to the army. It was his many years of military career that made him slowly find the value of life, instead of staying in the capital and engaging in intrigue.

But he knew that as long as he returned to the capital, the issue of appointing a crown prince, which everyone was most reluctant to mention, would be brought to the surface.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened that he was drugged as soon as he returned to Beijing.

Thinking about it now, he no longer felt as angry as he did at the beginning, but instead felt a little relieved.

If he hadn't been drugged, he wouldn't have met Li Mengyue.

Without Li Mengyue's superb medical skills, she would have lost her life on the day the poison took effect, let alone seeing her child being born.

And I wonder how sad his mother would be when she heard the news of his death.

As a result, he was lucky enough to meet Li Mengyue, who was being plotted against.

As for this refugee issue, it not only concerns whether millions of refugees can start a new life, but will also bring about earth-shaking changes in the court.

He knew that he was his father's preferred candidate for crown prince, but the emperor could not do whatever he wanted and was constrained in every way.

However, he had a vague intuition that he didn't have to work so hard to resettle the victims and could still allow them to live a stable life.

And this confidence did not come from the 500,000 kilograms of grain sent by my father, nor the 600,000 kilograms of grain raised by my cousin, but the one million kilograms of grain given by Li Mengyue.

You have to know that even though he has countless properties and earns a lot of money every year, his expenses are quite huge. After all these years, he has not saved much money at all.

We spent a lot of money in Guangping Prefecture some time ago, so how can we come up with a huge amount of money to resettle the victims?

Although he didn't know where Li Mengyue got the food, he had a hunch and an inexplicable confidence that taking care of the victims would not be a difficult task in Li Mengyue's hands.

Thinking of this, Xie Ruiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It seems that this time, I will really be a gigolo."

"Knock, knock, knock! Master, it's time to eat."

"Enter!"

"Squeak!"

Then Qingxuan entered the room with a tray, put the food on the table, and Xie Ruiyuan also sat down.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Xie Ruiyuan knew that they were not made by Qingxuan.

Compared with Qingxi, Qingxuan's cooking skills are indeed better, but only slightly.

As long as the rice is cooked and I don’t have diarrhea after eating it, as for whether it tastes good, don’t even think about it.

"Master, please try it and see if the roast duck tastes good."

Xie Ruiyuan picked up the chopsticks and put them down.

"Okay, no need to wait here, you and Qingxi can go eat."

"Yes, master."

If it were any other time, Qingxuan would definitely not leave, but today there was roast duck. When he was preparing the roast duck for his own prince, the aroma rushed into his nose, making him want to have a full meal right away.

But no matter how much he wanted to eat, he still had reason. The prince was still hungry, so how could he, as a guard, eat first?

Only after the prince has eaten, can it be his and Qingxi's turn.

However, the prince was considerate of them and did not allow him to stay and serve them.

Qingxuan walked out of the room and ran to the kitchen. Seeing a roast duck still lying on the chopping board, he picked it up and ate it without hesitation.

As soon as I took a bite, my taste buds were conquered.

No matter what, he is the personal bodyguard of the prince of the current dynasty.

Although the prince and they were not very particular about food in the military camp, when fighting, as long as there was food, it was fine.

But in the palace, he still ate a lot of delicacies from land and sea.

But no dish had ever brought him such a big shock.

You know, as soon as he took a bite, he heard a slight crackling sound, which means that the crispy roast duck skin tastes perfect. It is fragrant and crispy when chewed, and it doesn't feel greasy.

Next came the tender and juicy duck meat. Every strand of duck meat had a mellow taste, telling him how delicious it was.

The key is the rich aroma of the roast duck, mixed with a subtle hint of special seasoning, which makes the taste of the roast duck rich and diverse.

What surprised him most was the fusion of light sweetness and saltiness, which intertwined and collided on the tip of his tongue. Every bite left him with an endless aftertaste.

Qingxuan ate faster and faster, and before he knew it, he had finished the whole roast duck.

He reached out to take the duck meat again, but found nothing. He looked at the table and saw only bones.

"Qingxuan, have you sent the roast duck to the prince? The remaining one is for the two of us to eat. How can we have meat without wine? Look, I bought some wine from the villagers."

Qingxuan was originally shocked that he had eaten a large roast duck, but then he heard what Qingxi said.

Looking at the pile of bones, Qingxuan quickly stood up and turned around.

"Qingxi, how can you drink alcohol while on duty?"

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. I can just eat the roast duck, okay? Where's the roast duck? Where's my roast duck?"

"The roast duck has been sent to the prince."

"All... all have been delivered."

"Ah."

"Qingxuan, those are two large roast ducks, each weighing more than seven kilograms. No matter how much the prince can eat, he can't eat two."

"Why, do you think I would lie to you?"

"No, I just..."

"Okay, there are one million kilograms of extra food. We need to distribute it to every county in Qingshan. We also need to monitor whether the food is actually used for the victims. The task is heavy, so don't delay."

"I know, but you have to let me eat enough, otherwise I won't have the energy to work."

"Okay, okay, of course I won't let you go hungry. When we get to town later, I'll order you two bowls of wontons."

"That's what you said. Two bowls."

"Uh-huh."

Qingxi touched the little silver left in his arms and felt secretly delighted. He didn't expect that he could get more money from Qingxuan.

But as soon as he turned around, he happened to see something on the table behind Qingxuan.

"Ah! Qingxuan, give me back the roast duck."
