Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Xiao Jingyi's eyes fell on the wooden box, and his pupils shrank involuntarily.

He recognized the wooden box; it was used to hold the imperial seal.

Xiao Jingyi opened the wooden box and saw that inside it was indeed the imperial seal.

Looking at the imperial edict again, it was a decree passing the throne to Xiao Jingyi.

Jamel Xiao was shocked and uneasy.

At a time like this, my father not only sent Xiao Jingmo to Shuozhou, but also asked him to bring these things. Something big must have happened!

Xiao Jingyi hurried to get the secret letter.

His hands trembled uncontrollably and it took him a while to tear open the letter.

In the letter, Emperor Jingping explained in detail that he discovered that the Third Prince had secretly sent tea sets contaminated with smallpox into the palace. The First Prince knew that the Third Prince had ill intentions, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and kept silent, obviously hoping to reap the benefits.

Emperor Jingping suspected that the Moon Clan was behind this.

The remnants of the Moon Clan are like maggots on the heel. They must be eradicated completely. Only after this hidden danger is eliminated can there be peace.

So Emperor Jingping decided to set a trap himself and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Although he made detailed arrangements to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

But there are always unexpected things.

So he arranged for someone to send Xiao Jingmo to Shuozhou.

If an accident really happened and Emperor Jingping's plan failed, Xiao Jingmo would have to stay with Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling. He would be safest with the protection of their parents.

In addition, he asked Xiao Jingmo to bring the imperial seal and the imperial edict of succession.

If the eldest prince and the third prince were really rebellious and forced the emperor to abdicate, then Xiao Jingyi could use the imperial seal and the decree of succession to kill the traitors and succeed to the throne as the new emperor.

After reading the letter, Xiao Jingyi's eyes turned red.

He was worried about the safety of Emperor Jingping, but was also touched that his father had made such thoughtful arrangements at this critical moment of life and death, and every word was for him.

Although the guards around Xiao Jingyi didn't know what had happened, when they saw that the young master Xiao Jingmo had suddenly come to Shuozhou, and then looked at the wooden box containing the imperial seal, their faces changed slightly.

After reading the letter, Xiao Jingyi calmed down, put away all his things, and then carried Xiao Jingmo onto his horse.

"Go back to the city first!"

After saying that, he jumped on his horse and took Xiao Jingmo into the city.

Although he didn't know the situation in the capital at the moment, Xiao Jingyi had already decided to return to Beijing.

He must bring people back to rescue the emperor and ensure his father's safety.

But before leaving, he had to arrange everything in Shuozhou.

Originally, Xiao Jingyi was still concerned about the smallpox in Shuozhou City and was hesitating whether to arrange Xiao Jingmo in a nearby town.

But after reading the secret letter from Emperor Jingping, Xiao Jingyi changed his mind.

If the eldest brother and the third brother really intended to rebel, they would definitely not let him and Xiao Jingmo and his son go.

Maybe they discovered that Xiao Jingmo was not in the capital and had already sent people to track down his whereabouts.

If he could get Xiao Jingmo in his hands, whether it was to wipe out the roots or to use Xiao Jingmo to threaten him, neither of these two results was what Xiao Jingyi wanted to see.

So instead of hiding Xiao Jingmo somewhere else and sending guards to protect him closely, it is better to keep him under his nose and protect him.

After all, the defenses of the nearby towns are far less tight than those of Shuozhou City.

Besides, with Yun Fuling here, 80% to 90% of the smallpox patients in the city have recovered.

As long as you take good precautions and stay away from the quarantine area, Shuozhou City is still safe.

The sound of horse hooves clattered all the way to the governor's mansion.

Today, the Governor's Mansion has been requisitioned by Xiao Jingyi as his temporary office and resting place.

Xiao Jingyi carried Xiao Jingmo off the horse and led him into the governor's mansion.

Xiao Jingmo looked around and asked, "Does mother live here too?"

Xiao Jingyi shook his head: "Your mother has been busy saving people. She lives in the isolation area of ​​East City."

The situation in the army was not good a few days ago, so Yun Fuling took a group of doctors to the army.

I heard that the situation in the army has stabilized and many soldiers have been rescued.

Yun Fuling also sent him a message, saying that he would be back in the next two days.

Xiao Jingyi thought about it, and told a guard beside him, "Go and send a message to the princess, asking her when she will be back."

"By the way, tell the princess that the young master is here."

The guard responded and left.

Xiao Jingmo has been separated from his parents for so many days and misses them terribly.

Seeing Xiao Jingyi asking someone to pass a message to Yun Fuling, he couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Jingmo felt very happy when he thought that he would be able to see his mother soon.

The father and son were talking as they walked, and just as they passed the screen wall, they met Tianquan head-on.

When Tian Quan saw Xiao Jingmo, he was surprised and happy at once.

"Little prince!"

Xiao Jingmo rushed over and hugged Tianquan, saying with a smile: "Uncle Tianquan."

Tianquan knew that it was very unusual for the young master to suddenly come to Shuozhou City at this time.

But in front of the young master, he didn't say much, and didn't even show any abnormality.

After talking to the young master for just a few words, Xiao Jingyi asked someone to take Xiao Jingmo downstairs to wash up and rest.

Now, the entire governor's mansion is filled with people that Xiao Jingyi can trust.

So he felt at ease letting Xiao Jingmo stay here.

After Xiao Jingmo left, Tianquan stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Master, is there something wrong in the capital?"

Xiao Jingyi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't answer, but just nodded.

Tian Quan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

But thinking that the young master was able to leave the capital and be sent to Shuozhou safely, it means that the situation has not yet reached the worst.

Xiao Jingyi pursed his lips and stepped into the main hall, sat in the seat at the top, and asked, "Is there any latest news from the capital?"

Tianquan shook his head.

The last news Xiao Jingyi received said that there was nothing unusual in the capital and Emperor Jingping was also fine.

Judging from the time, the new news should be delivered around tomorrow.

Xiao Jingyi pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I want to go back to Beijing as soon as possible!"

Tian Quan had expected this to happen the moment he saw Xiao Jingmo.

If something happens in the capital, Xiao Jingyi will definitely go back to stabilize the situation.

All previous signs have indicated that Xiao Jingyi will be the next emperor of Daqi.

At a time like this, it is absolutely impossible to let others steal the throne.

Moreover, the fight for the throne has always been a life-and-death struggle.

If Xiao Jingyi became the final winner, perhaps he could save the lives of the eldest prince and several other opponents.

But given the character of the eldest prince and his men, no matter which one of them comes to power, they will never let Xiao Jingyi go.

Then what awaits Xiao Jingyi and his family of three is inevitable death.

Even those close to him will not escape.

Since the day Tianquan followed Xiao Jingyi, he decided to follow him through life and death.

So when Xiao Jingyi said he wanted to return to Beijing, Tianquan was mentally prepared to fight to the death.
