The grass in the factory should be plucked

The people outside the hall were also shocked when they saw Jiang Li suddenly jump onto the roof.

Nangong Qinghe's heart tightened, and he ordered Yuanbao beside him: "Quick, go ask, what happened?"

Zhang Wanwan also ordered her trusted palace maid to go and take a look.

The midwife in the hall didn't know what had happened, and said in a trembling voice: "Madam..."

When Cui Jin saw that the eldest prince in her arms had calmed down and was looking at her with his bright eyes, she couldn't help but feel love and pity for him.

My dear prince, with Marquis Jing'an protecting you, you will surely have a blessed life and grow up safely.

She didn't know why, but her heart had calmed down at this moment, and she said softly, "Nothing, go report to His Majesty and the Queen."

The confused midwife then went out to announce the good news: "Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to the Queen, Concubine De has given birth to a prince! Both mother and child are doing well!"

Zhang Wanwan was overjoyed: “There will be a huge reward!”

Nangong Qinghe remained silent, looking at the roof with a gloomy face.

Soon, Jiang Li flew down and shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't notice anything.

Nangong Qinghe calmed down and said in a clear voice: "Defei has contributed to the birth of the prince, and she is promoted to noble concubine."

Everyone congratulated the emperor and the imperial concubine again and again.

Cui Jin held the eldest prince in his arms, feeling extremely happy.

Although Zhang Wanwan felt a little uncomfortable, she quickly ordered: "Go and tell the Queen Mother the good news. The Imperial Concubine has successfully given birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The palace maid hurried to Ci'an Palace.

At this time, the hall had been cleaned up, and Nangong Qinghe and Zhang Wanwan entered together.

Cui Jin was still holding the eldest prince tightly in his arms. Only when he saw Jiang Li followed Nangong Qinghe into the hall did he relax.

"My Lord, come and see the eldest prince."

Cui Jin motioned Jiang Li to come over.

Jiang Li was very embarrassed. Shouldn't he let the emperor see it?

Nangong Qinghe smiled slightly: "Ali, go and have a look. Thanks to you, the eldest prince is safe and sound."

Jiang Li had no choice but to step forward, and Cui Jin handed the eldest prince to her.

Jiang Li took it at a loss.

How could she hold a baby? She held the tiny swaddling cloth, her whole body stiff, not daring to move.

She saw the baby in her arms staring at her with his bright eyes.

Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the eldest prince was fine, which meant that her defensive talisman was effective!

The man who secretly cast a spell to attack the eldest prince must have also been severely injured!

After she decided to leave the palace, she wanted to secretly go to Prince Wei's mansion to find out whether Nangong Yonghe was injured.

Seeing Cui Jin looking at her nervously, Jiang Li used her inner strength to transmit a secret message: "Don't worry, Madam, the eldest prince is fine."

Cui Jin finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on his mind.

Although she didn't know what happened, she saw a flash of golden light and the jade pendant shattered. It was clearly the defensive talisman that blocked the heavy attack on the eldest prince!

She gnashed her teeth in hatred. Who could be so cruel that he would not even spare a newborn baby?

Jiang Li added: "Although the jade talisman is broken, the man who secretly attacked the eldest prince must have been seriously injured and will not take any action in the short term."

"Your Majesty and I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will never let this person go!"

Cui Jin nodded slightly, relief showing in his eyes.

Seeing that Jiang Li was so stiff that he dared not move, she smiled and motioned to the nurse to bring the eldest prince over.

"Your Majesty, come and see our prince."

Nangong Qinghe took the swaddling clothes with stiff hands and feet.

Zhang Wanwan also came over to look at the eldest prince and said with a smile: "The eldest prince looks like His Majesty!"

Nangong Qinghe was extremely happy when he saw that the baby in his arms had pretty features and looked vaguely like him.

"The prince was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so let's name him Yuan Hong."

New Year's Day is the beginning of the year, the month and the day. The eldest prince was born in the first year of his accession to the throne, which is of great significance. Nangong Qinghe named him "Yuanhong", and naturally he attached great importance to this prince.

Cui Jin was even more delighted. She thanked him with tears in her eyes: "I thank the emperor for giving me this name on behalf of Yuan Er!"

Nangong Qinghe said, "Pass on my decree that the eldest prince has been born. An imperial decree will be issued to the whole country on a chosen day. All civil and military officials must wear auspicious clothes for ten days to show congratulations. The left and right spring offices of the Zhanshi Mansion will be sent to each prince's palace to announce the good news."

This is the first prince born after the new emperor ascended the throne. Naturally, it is of great significance, as it means that the Chu kingdom has a successor!

Three days after the birth of the prince, the emperor had to personally offer sacrifices in Fengxian Hall and Chongxian Hall, and send officials to Fangze, Chaori, Xiyue, Daisheji and Disheji to offer sacrifices respectively.

After giving instructions on everything, Nangong Qinghe asked Cui Jin to have a good rest and motioned Jiang Li to follow him.

"Marquis Jing'an, follow me to the imperial study."

He then instructed Yuan Bao, "Ask Liao Dugong and Xie Qing to come as well."

When they arrived outside the Imperial Concubine's Palace, Nangong Qinghe took out the jade talisman he was wearing and handed it to Jiang Li.

"When the prince was born, I also felt a warmth in my chest."

Jiang Li took a closer look and found that the jade talisman actually had several cracks!

She couldn't help but gasp: "How dare that man attack His Majesty!"

She originally guessed that since the prince was protected by dragon energy, the evil cultivator would not dare to attack Nangong Qinghe. She didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel!

Fortunately, she had been prepared and gave Nangong Qinghe a jade talisman just in case.

If that evil cultivator attacks His Majesty and the Crown Prince at the same time, it will certainly cause further harm to them.

If we can dig him out as soon as possible, kill him while he is ill, and wipe him out in one fell swoop!

"When the eldest prince was born, the imperial concubine's jade talisman was also broken. I guess that person must have been seriously injured!"

"I want to sneak into the Prince of Wei's mansion to find out what's going on!"

Nangong Qinghe frowned and said, "I will make a decision after discussing it with Liao Dugong and Xie Qing."

When they arrived at the imperial study, Liao Wuyong and Xie Changan were already waiting there.

The two men bowed respectfully and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of your son. It is a blessing for the Chu State to have someone to carry on its rule!"

Nangong Qinghe smiled slightly: "Stand up."

Liao Wuyong reported back, "After we received the warning from Marquis Jing'an, we immediately mobilized the palace guards and secret guards to secretly search the palace, but found nothing."

Jiang Li said: "To perform evil magic, you only need a certain medium, most of the time you don't need to get close to the person to perform the magic. I guess that evil cultivator didn't even enter the palace."

Liao Wuyong frowned and said, "How can we catch this man if we can't see or touch him?"

Jiang Li said, "I want to explore the Prince of Wei's Mansion with Master Xie."

Liao Wuyong was surprised: "You suspect the King of Wei?"

Jiang Li nodded: "If the death of the youngest son of the King of Qin is also related to this, then the target of the evil cultivator is someone with royal blood!"

She told Liao Wuyong in detail about their speculation about "borrowing lives".

"If it really is 'borrowing lives', the only person with a motive is the King of Wei!"

Liao Wuyong frowned.

Prince of Wei, Nangong Yonghe, was poisoned in the womb. Although His Majesty ordered the Imperial Hospital and Longmen Medical Bureau to treat him carefully, according to the diagnosis of Yuanzheng Pei, the poison in the prince's body had penetrated deeply into his bones and blood and could not be resolved, but could only be suppressed.

Judging from his pulse, there is a high possibility that the King of Wei will not live to be thirty years old!

From this point of view, what Jiang Li said about "borrowing life" is very possible.
