The baby had always been a little pig that slept after eating its fill. Thus, after taking a walk with Madame Jiang, she fell asleep immediately, and in the end, it was the maid who carried the baby back.
Baili Jinxiu took the baby from the servant. The baby moaned and rolled over before continuing to sleep soundly. Baili Jinxiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, as she had the misconception of raising a pig.
The baby had already fallen asleep. Baili Jinxiu was worried that it would freeze, so he said his goodbyes to Old Master Jiang and Madame Jiang. Before he left, Madame Jiang had repeatedly asked Baili Jinxiu to return to his Jiang Mansion to play more.
After experiencing so many schemes and tricks, Baili Jinxiu realized that he was even more greedy for the kind of pure care and concern these Jiang Mansion people had for her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gong Xiaoxuan's clear voice pulled the dazed Baili Jinxiu back to reality. Baili Jinxiu looked, and saw that he had been standing in front of the carriage in a daze, and the servants were all looking at her with weird looks. His face suddenly flushed red, and he jumped onto the carriage.
Behind him, Gong Xiaoxuan watched as Baili Jinxiu made a series of fluid movements, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
It was late at night, and there was no one on the streets. It was cold and quiet, with only the sound of rolling wheels on the carriages.
Inside the carriage, Baili Jinxiu was hugging the baby and dozing off. Gong Xiaoxuan leaned on the carriage and looked at his wife and daughter.
Suddenly, the sound of the wind outside stopped, followed by the sound of something breaking through the air.
Gong Xiaoxuan who was inside the carriage suddenly stood up and kicked, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, and the carriage's curtain raised and fell, causing Baili Jinxiu to wake up.
Seeing that the baby in his arms was still sleeping, Baili Jinxiu did not get up. He opened the curtain and looked outside, but no one was there.
After a while, Gong Xiaoxuan finally returned. Baili Jinxiu looked around and seeing that Gong Xiaoxuan was not injured, he relaxed and asked: "Prince, just now?"
Gong Xiaoxuan muttered to himself for a while, and looked at Baili Jinxiu with a complicated expression, then passed the thing in his hand to her.
It was a dart. At the bottom of the dart, there was a small piece of cloth. The words on the cloth were written in large, black characters that made Baili Jinxiu realize in an instant the meaning of Gong Xiao Xuan's eyes.
"If anyone dares to touch me or clarify things, then wait for the corpses of those children from Yolk Sect to be collected!"
Baili Jinxiu's hands that were holding the baby tightened. He had been busy with the matters of the Emperor and the crown prince recently, and had almost forgotten about the children of the Yolk Sect.
The children were in Jin Nie's hands, if he were to ignore Old Master Jiang's suggestion and control Jin Nie and the others, Baili Jinxiu believed that with Jin Nie's personality, he would definitely not let the children go.
Baili Jinxiu had babies, so she could imagine if those children of Yolk Sect really died, then the Yolk Sect would probably scatter into a cluster. Furthermore, those children and many of them were people that Baili Jinxiu recognized, and each and every one of them were extremely obedient.
Baili Jinxiu's eyes were filled with panic. She understood the pros and cons of the two options, but he had no choice.
Gong Xiaoxuan, who was at the side, looked at Baili Jinxiu's conflicted expression, and his eyes darkened.
"One step at a time. We can't touch him now, nor do we dare to touch those children."
He knew how hardworking Baili Jinxiu was towards the Yolk Sect and the children, so he had hesitated for a moment just now about whether or not he should show the cloth strip to Baili Jinxiu.
Baili Jinxiu nodded, his face still showing that he was worried about something.
The entire night passed without incident, and on the morning of the next day, Baili Jinxiu woke up early.
When the carriage slowly arrived at the palace gates, there were already many court officials present. Baili Jinxiu was secretly speechless, she had thought that they would be the first ones to arrive.
By the time all the court officials arrived, it was already morning.
"Everyone thought about yesterday's matter for an entire night. I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Gong Xiaoxuan casually threw out the topic, his eyes sweeping across the expressions of the court officials below.
As expected, no one said anything, Gong Xiaoxuan smiled, and continued to speak: "Since no one has any opinions, then why not …"
"I have some bad ideas, how about Prince An listen to it?"
The coquettish and lazy voice just sounded out, cutting Gong Xiaoxuan off from finishing his sentence, and everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall where the voice came from.
She was dressed in a pink skirt with the pattern of a peony embroidered on it, holding onto a plain silk ribbon at her waist, her face was red and white, and her body had no bones, which made her appear to be the Princess Mingxi that was despised by everyone yesterday.
Gong Xiaoxuan glanced at him, and replied with a cold voice: "I wonder what Princess Mingxi thinks?"
Princess Mingxi looked at Gong Xiaoxuan and chuckled. Her laughter was like silver bells, somewhat pleasant to listen to.
However, I heard that the Prince An was poisoned by the same poison as the Emperor yesterday. However, the reason that the Princess An was released from the Ministry of Justice's prison during the period of the crown prince's poisoning made me feel that the Prince An was interested in favouritism. "
The Princess Mingxi spoke gently, but seeing that everyone was silent, she continued: "Although the Crown Prince was poisoned while the Princess An was in jail, but the Prince An is still outside right? The Princess An can completely hand the poison over to the Prince An, with her skills, I'm afraid this will be very easy.
That day, when I heard that the crown prince had found out about the Emperor's poison, I left the palace to go to the crown prince's mansion to discuss it with him.
Princess Mingxi lowered his head slightly, her shoulders trembling like she was sobbing. But after a while, she used her handkerchief to wipe her face, raised his head, and continued speaking: "Mingqing, the grand Grand Princess, has received such an insult in her Grean Yan, yet, thinking about the cooperation between the two countries, he endured it and went back to the palace.
Even though she was a weak girl, she knew that both the Emperor and the crown prince were unconscious due to poison. The one who benefited the most wasn't me, but Prince An. For example, right now, doesn't the Prince An have the imperial government which controls the Grean Yan? If the crown prince and the Emperor were unconscious all the time, wouldn't the Prince An have naturally inherited the position and change the dynasty? "
The power behind the last sentence that changed the dynasty was so strong that it caused everyone in the imperial court to jump. Hearing it clearly, it seemed that Prince An was indeed the most suspicious, and many people looked at Gong Xiaoxuan with strange expressions.
After all, the crown prince had already cooperated with the Princess Mingxi and the crown prince. Since the crown prince was unconscious, they would support the Princess Mingxi, who was the antithesis of the Prince An, as he could not be left alone!
