On the second day of the new year, the couple didn't have anything to do with each other. Gu Yun saw that Tian'er was fine, so he planned to bring her to King Jin Palace for a visit.

But on the second day of the new year, not a single girl came back. Instead, it was Xu Jingshu and Xiao Ruochuan who went to the Xie Clan Residence to show their gratitude, treating the Xie Clan as if it were the Xu Residence.

Xie Jingxi was extremely glad that she was going to be in trouble, otherwise, it would still be awkward for him to go back.

Gu Yun helped her put on her clothes, and then caressed her black hair. He was so interested that he wanted to roll up her hair into a bun for her.

"Why do I feel like Xi's hair is smoother than before?"

Not only was his hair smooth, his face was also round. Gu Yun liked her current appearance, he wanted to maintain his figure from now on and not lose weight.

"Can it not go well? The food is good, and I raised him so fat. I'm so worried about giving birth to him."

Gu Yun laughed, "I will accompany you for a walk, Pei Zixi said that it is not a big problem, and you should not forget to take a walk before the delivery."

Xie Jingxi asked him: "Today, suddenly lead me to King Jin Palace, is there something you need?"

It was indeed something, even she who had not heard anything about Second Prince's illness recently, it was related to the rumors that she had heard them all. It was about Second Prince's illness, but for some reason, it had been spread very vividly recently, at one moment, it was rumored that he was not a crazy person, at the next it was said that he could not handle people and could not bear children. Anyway, it was all rumors of pushing Second Prince into a pit, and it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

His Majesty only had four princes in total. One of them rebelled, the other was sick, and the remaining two babies were fine. The Second Prince had spread rumors, and after some thought, one could tell that this was a conspiracy.

The bad news was that Second Prince's illness did not come out of nowhere, everyone had their suspicions, and even fainted at the time of the wedding. With so many people seeing it, even if you said that there was no illness, there would still be people believing it, so the rumors became even more serious than they had expected. Why is His Majesty not willing to establish a crown prince, it is obvious that there is a root knot, if that's true, then why do we have to support him so hard, and send him to the other party as soon as possible.

As a result, even the Imperial Court had become chaotic. Everyone suddenly lost their direction to flee, confused and worried.

"It's the Abandoned Crown Prince's people." In the carriage, Gu Yun sat with her by his side, "It's been so long since we caught him, I'm sure we've met up with his people. If we don't bite back now, when will we, Second Prince become strong enough to not be able to do so?"

Firstly, she was not completely sure of their motive, and secondly, she felt that this was not their style of doing things. Such a desperate method, it should have been done by the people from the Abandoned Crown Prince.

But how did they know that the Second Prince was sick? He really did have an accurate source of information, the wind was blowing at the right time, it was blowing right in the right place, if not for Abandoned Crown Prince being so lucky, there would have been a problem.

"Other than that, there is also a problem with Feng Li's side." Gu Yun tried his best to explain the situation to her gently, "A small stronghold under his name was exposed, and he caught a rather important brother. King Jin is burning with anger right now."

had been in contact with this person before, and was someone that the King Jin could lay his hands on easily. He had not made any mistakes this entire time, why did he suddenly get exposed at this critical juncture, and even captured an important person to go inside, if that person could not keep his mouth shut, the King Jin would definitely tumble over.

Every time Xie Jingxi thought about King Jin, she would feel that he was very interesting and felt that it was really inconceivable. Although there was no lack of people who had hidden themselves throughout history, she still felt that it was not easy to be the King Jin.

After all, she had suppressed her ambition for so many years, and it was not something that a normal person would be able to bear. Just by this point alone, she was already impressed to the point of prostrating herself to someone.

The Prince Jin's Wife condescended and personally took Xie Jingxi's arm to support him, "Gu Yun, you sure are willing to take your darling out today."

Xie Jingxi did not dare to let her support him, "Princess, you do not need to support me, I can walk."

"That's impossible. Right now, you're more expensive than anyone else. I can't be as careful as a god of wealth. It seems like I'm about to be born, so I have to think of a way to send you a gift."

Xie Jingxi laughed but did not speak, her eyes following Gu Yun's figure that was leaving with the King Jin, he was slightly worried in her heart.

Gu Yun followed King Jin to the study room to talk. Seeing that he was preoccupied, Gu Yun asked him: "Why, is Feng Li's side of the problem?"

The King Jin said: "It is not impossible, but it is definitely not a big problem. Feng Li has already stopped attacking at all, I think it will be quiet for a while."

"Is there a problem with the inside?" "Why did it suddenly get exposed?"

The King Jin nodded his head, "He has already been found out by Feng Li, it's just that the brother who was exposed was such a pity, it's I who underestimated the Abandoned Crown Prince, and the ones supporting him behind the scenes might not be just Lu Family and the Shi Family." King Jin suddenly looked at him, "When necessary, you should also accept it."

It was only a matter of time before the King Jin took action, but he did not expect that others would take the initiative and disrupt the formation. This inevitably created a sense of crisis and panic, and before he could clearly understand the depth of the opponent, stopping was the wisest choice, and once something happened to the Second Prince, Gu Yun had to avoid it. It was even possible that the next person to be exposed would be him.

He just did not expect that the day would come so quickly, when Xi was close to production, nothing bad would happen.

King Jin continued: "Be on guard within the Marquis Mansion. If necessary, you must first send your wife away."

Not to mention that she would not leave, the crux of the issue was that she was just around the corner, so it was not appropriate for her to go anywhere. After giving birth to a baby, she could not travel too far in a short period of time, which was really tricky.

"It's not appropriate to send him off so recklessly. If there really is someone in the Marquis Mansion, they would be able to alert the enemy very easily. Allow me to think about it."

"I know it's too much of a coincidence that your wife is carrying her body. It's only natural for you to be worried, but looking at the bigger picture, it's still a form of protection. Don't worry, once you reach the point where you have to leave, I'll send someone to protect her."

After going back, Xie Jingxi saw that he had been quiet the entire time, and knew that something was up, "Is it because the matter at King Jin is very troublesome?"

Gu Yun sat on the bed and held her in his arms, he was bored for a long time before he spoke, "This matter is indeed more serious than I had expected, everything that happened in King Jin is related to you and me."

Xie Jingxi was startled, "About you and me? Could it be that you are worried that they will expose you next? "

Gu Yun laughed, "Xi has guessed correctly, I am not afraid of them exposing myself, I am afraid of them taking the initiative to bind my hands and feet, the matter with Second Prince has already forced us into a passive state, once it is time for us to confront each other, you and your child are what I am most worried about."

Xie Jingxi understood what he meant, she wanted to send her away, because once the King Jin attacked, the capital would be in chaos. The child was not safe when he was young, but she did not think it was a good choice to separate from him.

"It's the King Jin's idea, right?" Xie Jingxi held his hand, "From my point of view, you don't think that we have to split up, and even if we do, it might not guarantee our safety. Of course, if it really is time for me to drag you down, I won't hesitate or you come with me."

Gu Yun stuck close to her face and sighed inwardly. There were many times when he was clearer than her on the situation, where he would be held by the hand and pay too much attention to her, afraid that she would suffer some grievances. But in truth, she understood everything.

What Xi said is right, I think that regardless of whether we ultimately walk or not, we have to prepare for the future, and it would be best if we can wait for our daughter to come down, and at that time, it would be good for us to just temporarily place her in the capital. As for where we can go after that, we will go to Guangdong Province to look for Sheng Luan.

Gu Yun was the most at ease with Sheng Luan's ability to protect her and also his companion, Gu Guan. Since he had already decided on the direction, he had to start making preparations now, for example, the route on the road, the person who would be following his, the things he would bring, even Song Yanchen's men who would be escorting his, and the arrangements for the children.

If he had a choice, Gu Yun would never plan for everything when she was about to give birth, but sometimes everything was so unpredictable. In short, the heavens did not like him being able to safely enjoy the blessings of a wife and children, and he had to give a pothole at the most crucial time, but since she and Xi had already walked together, no matter how many difficulties they had, they would all have to continue walking.

Three days later, news came from the palace that the Second Prince had been poisoned. It was said that they had eaten a wild poisonous fungus by mistake, and also the Second Prince's wife, Xu Jingshu. Thus, they immediately recruited the Imperial Physician Pei into the palace.

He had originally thought that eating the poisonous mushrooms would not cause any loss of life, and if he had saved him in time, there would still be a way out. However, he did not expect that because of the excessive consumption of the poison mushrooms, the situation would not be good by the time Imperial Physician Pei arrived.

On the other hand, Xu Jingshu's life was saved, but even if the two of them were to die, things would not turn out this way. In the new year, not only was the palace in chaos, Xie Jingxi's departure from the capital was also on the agenda.
