After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Don't worry, mother. I haven't forgotten."

"She is the murderer who killed the late emperor. Without her, I, your son, cannot ascend the throne openly."

"As soon as I ascend the throne, I will give her poisoned wine and let her be buried with the late emperor!"

The second prince showed a fierce look on his face.

"Good, good, good!" Concubine Ning said three good words in a row.

"When you ascend the throne, you can marry someone to be your queen and give me more grandchildren."

The more Concubine Ning spoke, the happier she became.

The second prince's face did not look good.

"Your son agrees to let Concubine Gao be the queen."

Concubine Ning slapped the second prince.

"She is the daughter of a Tartar, and she has Tartar blood running through her veins!"

"How can you let a foreigner be the queen of our dynasty?"

The second prince's eyes were bloodshot.

"It is all thanks to her that I was able to ascend to the throne smoothly!"

After the second prince was demoted, Princess Gao Li not only did not despise him, but also followed him to his poor fiefdom.

After giving birth to the prince, Princess Gao Li wrote another letter, asking her father to send capable guards to the second prince.

Along the way, these guards were loyal to him.

Many times, if it weren't for their protection, he would have died.

The staff around him were also sent by Princess Gao Li's father to assist him.

Otherwise, how could he have driven the prince out of the palace so easily?

Concubine Ning thought about it and compromised.

"You can make her the queen, but her son must not be the crown prince."

"The great dynasty must not fall into the hands of outsiders!"

After listening to Concubine Ning's words, the Second Prince gave a perfunctory reply.

"My son, I know."

Seeing that the Second Prince was not speaking the truth, Concubine Ning made a decision in her heart.

If Gao Li doesn't behave herself at that time, she will find a way to kill her!

Xiao Minshen and many court officials left the palace together.

Mo Yi, who was guarding outside, hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been kidnapped by the crown prince!"

Xiao Minshen shook his body and asked, "When did it happen?"

"I only found out after I went back that the concubine never returned home."

"Let's talk first after you get on the horse!" Xiao Minshen jumped onto the horse.

The two of them quickly returned to the palace, where Yang Liu was waiting at the gate.

"My Lord, you are back!"

Xiao Minshen jumped off the horse and said, "Tell me the whole story in detail."

"After I talked to Mo Yi that day, I left the palace to chase the queen."

"But, until we arrived at the palace, I did not see the carriage, nor did I see the queen in the palace."

"I thought your majesty went to the Han residence, so I went to the Han residence again."

"Similarly, Madam Han did not return home."

"I thought maybe I and the Majesty had missed each other, so I turned around and went back to look for her."

"Just in time, I ran into Mo Yi."

Mo Yi took over the conversation, "We both sent people to search all the places we could in the capital."

"Later, I heard from an old man that he saw a carriage with the Qi Palace's mark leaving the city."

"I followed Yang Liu out of the city and found Madam Han outside the city."

As Xiao Minshen listened, he strode into the mansion.

"Where is Mrs. Han now?"

"When we found Madam Han, she was tied up. In order not to worry Lord Han, we left her in the mansion."

When Wang Zhaozhao heard that Xiao Minshen had returned home, she hurried out.

"Prince Qi, go and rescue Jin'er! She has been kidnapped by the Crown Prince!"

"Mrs. Han, do you remember which direction they went?"

Xiao Minshen took Wang Zhaozhao to the study and asked, pointing at the map on the table.

Wang Zhaozhao hurriedly lay down on the map to look for it.

"Here, this is where they went!"

Wang Zhaozhao pointed to a place on the map.

Xiao Minshen took a look and memorized the place in his mind.

“Madam Han, I asked Yang Liu to take you back to the mansion so that Master Han won’t worry when he returns home.”

"Okay, go save Jin'er, I'll go back with Yang Liu."

Wang Zhaozhao knew that if she continued to stay here, people would only gossip about her.

"Mo Yi, let's go."

Xiao Minshen mounted his horse and soon ran away with Mo Yi.

He recognized the road, which led to one of the prince's villas.

Previously, when he was investigating the exam question leak incident, he had found out that the prince had a secret workshop here.

When Xiao Minshen arrived, everyone in the villa had already evacuated.

He didn't order anyone to seal off this place.

Unexpectedly, the prince would settle there.

He thought to himself, "Mo Yi, ask a secret guard to take Ling Long over there."

Mo Yi looked around, turned his horse's head, and entered a tavern not far away.

Soon, Mo Yi caught up with Xiao Minshen again.

In the other courtyard, the prince's staff were persuading the prince.

"Prince, she is the woman of the King of Qi, why do we have to take her with us?"

"Besides, she is pregnant and it looks like she will give birth in the next two days. Taking her with her will be a big hassle."

The prince touched the ring on his thumb and said nothing.

The staff may have recalled the ridiculous things that the prince did in the past.

"Prince, now, our top priority is to quickly go to the fiefdom and lead our people to occupy the land and become the king."

"This way, you will have a chance to compete with the Second Prince for the throne."

"When you ascend the throne, what kind of woman will you not want?"

The prince's face was instantly filled with gloom.

"Sir, do you feel lonely and greedy for women?"

The aide smiled awkwardly.

"Sir, don't you think that the King of Qi's fortune has changed since he married this woman?"

When the staff heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that it seemed to be true.

"Prince, do you think..."

The prince nodded, "I just want to borrow her luck."

In the past, Xiao Minshen was an unpopular prince, but after he married a concubine, he suddenly caught the emperor's eye.

Especially regarding the exam question leak incident, the emperor praised it highly.

The prince overheard the emperor and eunuch An praising Xiao Minshen several times in the palace.

The emperor even said that Shen Yunjin was the lucky star of King Qi.

If Shen Yunjin is really a lucky star, then, by taking her with him, he will definitely be able to benefit from her blessings and ascend the throne smoothly.

Although Shen Yunjin is not a lucky star, the child in her belly is of real royal blood.

Didn’t they say that he was not the emperor’s biological son?

The baby in Shen Yunjin's belly must be the emperor's grandson!

At that time, he will ascend the throne in the name of assisting the emperor's grandson, and I believe no one will object.

The staff still believes that this statement is not credible.

"Prince, when do we leave? You will be safe if you leave as soon as possible."

"Recover here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Prince, Prince, that lady is about to give birth!"

A maid ran in from the door.

"Why don't you go and call the midwife!" The prince stood up, rarely losing his composure.

The maid was about to go out when she was stopped by the staff.

"Prince, no! We can't expose our whereabouts!"
