Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

"Your Highness." He saluted respectfully.

"Shenzhi, come here quickly." Jing Hao waved and called out, "Sure enough, there is something fishy about this matter."

Pei Jin looked solemnly at the memorial in Jing Hao's hand and said, "Your Highness, I once had doubts, but Lieutenant General Luo died in that attack after all, and Luo Qingqing happened to save me, so..."

"I know you must have had doubts. When I first received the token you sent to me through the secret guards, I also had doubts. But later, the things we expected did not happen, so I did not take it to heart." Jing Hao said thoughtfully, "It is also because you are cautious, otherwise the consequences are simply unimaginable."

"Your Highness, those people are about to enter the capital, please make preparations early." Pei Jin smiled faintly, "Luo Qingqing is dying in my house, isn't it just to wait for them to arrive?"

"Shenzhi, they don't know that you and I have been in contact for the past year." Jing Hao shook his head and sighed, "I just didn't expect Luo Qingqing to do such a thing in order to get close to you."

"I think those soldiers must have been deceived by her. I only ask Your Highness not to vent your anger on them." Pei Jin was most worried about the soldiers who rushed into the capital without orders. Luo Qingqing did not take other people's lives seriously for her own selfish desires. It was really hateful!

"Shenzhi, don't worry. As long as they are upright people and have not colluded with Luo Qingqing and her ilk, I will report to my father and ask him to give them a lighter sentence. But there is no guarantee that there may be someone secretly plotting this." Jing Hao said in a low voice, tapping the table lightly.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as it seems. Perhaps someone in the capital is behind this." Pei Jin said in a deep voice.

"My father's illness has been recurring, and I have been acting as regent for some time. I'm afraid that those with ulterior motives can't sit still." Jing Hao said slowly, his face becoming even more gloomy.

"Your Highness, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Don't let others take advantage of you for the sake of brotherhood." Pei Jin said in a low voice with a cold look.

Jing Hao nodded after a while, and looked up at Pei Jin: "You also need to strengthen the vigilance in your mansion. Those people are capable of doing anything cruel."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Pei Jin leaned forward and bowed to express his gratitude.

In the past few days, he has arranged secret guards in various places in the mansion, especially in Zhuxiang Garden, where his little girl and An'er live. How can he feel at ease? Today, Princess Qingyuan made an unexpected visit to the mansion, and it was also the secret guards who secretly delivered the message. Otherwise, how could he receive the news immediately and rush back as soon as possible.

"Why did I hear that you came back with Qing Yuan? Did you come back home just now for her?" After finishing his business, Jing Hao suddenly looked at Pei Jin with burning eyes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed the heir to the throne, and nothing can be hidden from him.

"Your Highness, I just had a sudden headache and went back to the mansion to get medicine. Yang Yong and the others all knew about it. But I didn't expect to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess by chance." Pei Jin said as he took out a small porcelain bottle, opened the lid and smelled it.

"Oh, there is such a good medicine, let me take a look." Jing Hao smiled mischievously.

He knew that his sister had always liked Pei Jin. Last time, she cried because Pei Jin had a bastard. Pei Jin always treated her like a child. But this time when his sister went to the Marquis' Mansion, Pei Jin even went back to the mansion to pick her up. Maybe things had changed?

However, Pei Jin has a concubine and a concubine's eldest son. Besides, he and Luo Qingqing are still having troubles. How could my father and mother easily agree to this marriage? Oh, my sister's wish may not be fulfilled. Jing Hao felt a headache when he thought about it.

"I just happen to have a headache too. Let me try your medicine." He said slowly while looking at the porcelain bottle in Pei Jin's hand.

"This... Your Highness, your body is precious. I dare not let you use medicines of unknown origin." Pei Jin bowed and said, feeling very unhappy. This was the private medicinal oil prepared by his own concubine. How could he give it to other men casually, not even His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Shenzhi, you don't want to do it anymore?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understood the meaning of his words and looked at him with some dissatisfaction and frowned.

"Your Highness, how could I think like this?" Pei Jin had no choice but to open the lid, pour out a few drops of medicinal oil and hand it over personally, saying, "Let me apply it on your temples."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded, and Pei Jin stepped forward, rubbed the medicated oil, and gently applied it on Jing Hao's temple.

A faint scent of mint mixed with borneol, chrysanthemum, and citrus wafted over. Jing Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "This medicinal oil is better than the one sent by the Imperial Medical Bureau. Shen Zhi, where did you buy it? I think it smells good, too."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this deliberately. He had already guessed in his heart that this bottle of medicinal oil must have been given by someone he valued, so he cherished it so much that he was reluctant to even use it on himself.

"Your Highness, this medicinal oil was brought back by my father from another place. I don't know where he bought it. I will go back and ask." Pei Jin said calmly.

So that's how it is. I guessed wrong. Jing Hao smiled and stopped talking. He just pointed to the memorial on the desk and said solemnly, "Shenzhi, the news that you abandoned your lifesaver will be known to everyone in two days. You must be prepared."

"I know, I'm not afraid. In this case, the innocent will be innocent." Pei Jin smiled slightly, "As long as the person behind this can't help but show up, we can kill two birds with one stone!"

"It's just that I have to work hard again. I heard that the Marquis's wife is going to arrange a marriage for you, but at this critical moment, such a troublesome thing has to happen." Jing Hao stood up and patted Pei Jin's shoulder and said, "Tell the Marquis's wife as soon as possible so that she can be mentally prepared."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Pei Jin nodded, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he should tell Chan Yi about this matter as soon as possible. This little girl is timid and believes everything she hears. If she knew about this, she would definitely be scared again. Oh, what should he do!

In the Begonia Courtyard of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, Liu Wan'er was lying on the chaise longue, listening to her personal maid Hong'er talking to her.

She had just sent Hong'er to the study in the main courtyard to deliver cakes to the Marquis. When the man is not around, he must not be easily forgotten. Now the lady has two maids by her side, named Jasmine and Peony, who are charming and seductive. She can tell at a glance that they are from Yangzhou. The concubines she chose for her two sons are all of this type, who are knowledgeable in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, unlike Pei Jin's little concubine, who looks like a bumpkin, timid, and has never seen the world.

However, she did not let her son bring the two concubines back to the mansion. When they came back, she decided to sell them off. She could not let Wang Shi catch any evidence against her. The two sons were her lifeblood.

"What is the Marquis doing? Did he mention me?" Liu Wan'er said weakly.

"Auntie, the Marquis is out." Hong'er waved her hand mysteriously and said, "However, I heard from the maid in the front yard that the princess has come to the mansion."

Liu Wan'er quickly stood up and said, "Is this true? Princess? Which princess?"
