I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Hearing what Crown Prince Xiao Jingye said, Leng Rongyue added...

"There are also people who want to become the Crown Princess!"

"Especially because of the promise you made to your wife that you would be with her for life, those who wanted to become your concubines or mistresses have all lost hope!"

They did it to vent their anger;

Secondly... it's much easier to squeeze out a crown princess who can't have children and take the throne yourself than to squeeze out a crown princess with many children and try to take the throne yourself!

The fact that the Empress's sister-in-law had not given birth for three years had already drawn considerable criticism.

Have you ever considered that if your wife is infertile for life, even if you want to protect her without children, how long can you do so?

How difficult will it be to protect them?

Moreover, if the current Crown Princess, the future Empress, never has any children;

The current crown prince, the future emperor, has never taken a concubine...

How many people in the court will attack the emperor's brother and sister-in-law on the grounds that the emperor and empress cannot give birth to an heir for the throne of Jingyue Kingdom?

They might even accuse the emperor of being an irresponsible monarch who disregards the fate of the country by blindly protecting the empress who has no children, all for the sake of personal feelings for his children!

Those with ulterior motives will seize this opportunity to stir up trouble, even to the point of shaking the very foundation of the Jingyue Kingdom!

I didn't say these things to my sister-in-law just now; I only told her to be careful and vigilant in the future.

But I must say these words to my elder brother.

I think that if the matter of the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law being poisoned by cold is just a scheme by a certain minister to send his daughter to the Crown Prince's palace, or a scheme by a certain noblewoman to enter the Crown Prince's palace, then it's simple.

I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple!

After all, there are undercurrents of rebellion in the court, and it is impossible to say for sure what methods those who want to seize the throne will use.

After all, even the Prince Yu's residence has people desperately trying to get in, let alone the Crown Prince's residence, which belongs to the Emperor's elder brother!

Leng Rongyue's words made Crown Prince Xiao Jingye frown even more!

"What Yue'er said makes sense."

The recent events in Beijing are unlikely to be isolated incidents!

What if...everything that happened was a link in the same chain?

Xiao Jingyu looked at his elder brother, the emperor.

These are merely internal problems;

There are also external threats at the same time!

As the Emperor's birthday approaches, many countries have sent delegations to Jingyue to offer their congratulations, among which are some with ulterior motives and malicious intentions!

Take East Venezuela, for example.

Oh, by the way, our dear cousin has connections with those beasts from East Venezuela!

In order to ascend the throne of Jingyue Kingdom, he did not hesitate to sell out Haining Prefecture, a major coastal town of Jingyue Kingdom, to the beasts of Dongwei Kingdom!

For the past two nights, Yue'er and I have gone to the courtyard where the Dongwei beasts are hiding in the capital to investigate, and we have also learned about some of their recent plans.

Their plans include:

They bribed, coerced, and blackmailed Jingyue officials to become the lackeys of the Eastern Committee beasts;

This also includes the assassination of several loyal ministers and important officials of my Jingyue Kingdom, including the Duke of Anguo, the Chief Minister of Qin, the Marquis of Huaining, the General of the State, and our maternal grandfather!

Those whose children held official positions in the court were also among those targeted for assassination!

If they really succeed, our Emperor's birthday celebration will become a huge joke in front of foreign delegations!

At the same time, Jingyue will also be in great chaos!

Not only that, these beasts from East Venezuela also have a disgusting marriage plan!

They brought me some trashy silver princess, and their marriage target is me;

Their crown prince, who was uglier than a pig's head, had quite the dream. He actually set his sights on Yue'er and vowed to have her at all costs!

The deputy envoy from Dongwei Kingdom and the crown prince of Dongwei Kingdom visited Qin Lu, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Military Command, Xia Qinian, the vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Yuan, the Marquis of Dongping, and Jiang Ciche, the second minister of the cabinet, for two consecutive nights. These were all scoundrels from Jingyue Kingdom.

They threatened the children of those held captive by the East Venezuelan delegation, ordering them to make sure that these two so-called marriage alliances and the opening of Haining Prefecture were completed!

"Brother, this is the situation we'll face when we return to the capital after finishing our business in Dongchang Prefecture!"

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye listened quietly to Xiao Jingyu's account. After a long while, he only said one sentence, "Quickly investigate the matter in Dongchang Prefecture, and then we must return to the capital as soon as possible!"

Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingye exchanged a glance and nodded silently.

"Once my sister-in-law has finished soaking in the spiritual spring and returned, we'll leave the space first. We don't know what the situation is like in Dongchang Prefecture now."

After we leave the space, His Highness Prince Yu and I will go for a walk in the streets.

If the situation in the city is still under control, then we will leave the city first and then enter Qilin Mountain to investigate the situation in the mountain.

If there really is a hidden secret in Qilin Mountain, or if there really is a gold mine... then we'll just raid the entire place!

Leng Rongyue said.

"No! I'm not comfortable with just the two of you going!"

I, your foolish brother, want to go with you!

"For the section leading into the mountains ahead, I can lead the way!"

"But Your Majesty, your injuries..."

Xiao Jingyu was still worried about his elder brother's injury.

"My injury is nothing serious now!"

The spring water is incredibly potent, and the medicine is very effective; I can't feel any pain at all anymore!

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye moved his injured left arm in front of the two of them, his movements were very easy and natural.

Leng Rongyue thought for a moment and then nodded, “Alright, let’s act together then. We’re not comfortable leaving our elder brother and sister-in-law in Dongchang Prefecture.”

Something happened in Qilin Mountain, and the seven constables have disappeared. It's impossible for the Dongchang Prefecture government to remain completely silent!

How Zhu Gefu might go mad? What might he do? It's all unpredictable!

With my elder brother and sister-in-law with us, we have no worries!

Upon hearing Leng Rongyue's words, Xiao Jingyu naturally nodded in agreement.
