An Shiyi went over and opened the door. Jin Wang walked in with Fucheng following behind, bringing in a gust of cold wind.

Yaoniang was about to get down the bed to welcome Jin Wang when he walked over in only a few strides and held her down.

“No need to get up.”

“Nothing happened, right?”

Jin Wang shook his head. He took off his uniform with Fucheng’s assistance.

After wearing this heavy suit for the entire day, he felt much lighter after taking it off. With only a shirt on, he sat down to let people take off his boots. Then he said to Yaoniang, “It’s nothing. It was just Father Emperor’s old illness acting up again.”

As for the other parts, Jin Wang didn’t plan to tell Yaoniang about any of it. It was too complicated to explain clearly with only a few words.

Jin Wang set his sights on Xiaobao. Fortunately, this time because of what happened at Duke Ningguo Manor, he had insight into Yong Wang’s actions in advance. Looking down the vine, he found many clues.

And this chess piece, Meng Huoxian, wasn’t so much discovered by Yong Wang’s people, as it was Jin Wang’s deliberate reveal to the other side. Sure enough, Yong Wang was fooled, giving Jin Wang the chance to reverse what was known about the incident and avenge himself.

But Meng Huoxian’s ending was a pity.

But before Jin Wang played this move on the Eastern Palace, he already explained the consequences to him. Meng Huoxian had no hesitation. His only condition was that he hoped Jin Wang could help take care of his wife and children. Over these past years, Meng Huoxian married a wife then had children. After all, he was the only one left of the Meng family to pass down the line.

Therefore, Meng Huoxian, who had no other wishes, fought with his life to clarify the entire matter in front of Emperor Hongjing. He successfully helped Jin Wang bite Yong Wang back. It was indeed as he said: he was but an ant in front of the imperial family, but ants could still harm people.

Although Meng Huoxian couldn’t kill Yong Wang, at least he planted the seeds of suspicion in the suspicious Emperor Hongjing’s heart. Emperor Hongjing had a common problem that most if not all emperors had. He was suspicious of everything and everyone. It was still unknown what consequences this incident would cause.

But at least Jin Wang knew that Yong Wang was having a headache right now.

He patted Xiaobao’s little head. Xiaobao, who was inexplicably patted on the head, raised his eyes to look at Jin Wang, who was acting strange. Feeling his son’s gaze, Jin Wang’s face revealed some embarrassment. He said to Fucheng, “Is it brought over?”

“Yes, it should be here soon……”

At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.

Fucheng went out then returned with an extra food container in his hand.

“Finally something to eat! Xiaobao’s hungry!”

The hungry Xiaobao felt a bit embarrassed from being exposed like that, but as soon as the container was opened and the fragrant food was exposed, all his shame instantly vanished.

Inside was a large bowl of chicken noodle soup with vegetables. There were also a few side dishes accompanying it. Over the slightly yellowed noodles laid fragrant shredded chicken, emerald green vegetables and a few poached eggs.

There were only two small porcelain bowls. Yu Chan ladled the soup and noodles into the two bowls. Yaoniang’s bowl contained soup, vegetables and an egg. Xiaobao’s bowl only had some noodles and a few leaves of vegetables out of fear that he would scald himself drinking the hot soup.

Xiaobao was very dissatisfied. Pouting his mouth, he pointed his finger at the leftover eggs in Jin Wang’s bowl.

There were five eggs in total, one of which was in his mother’s bowl, so there were still four left. His father wouldn’t be able to eat all four, so there was still his share. Yu Chan could only put one into his bowl as well.

Yaoniang was hungry too. Now, it was much harder than usual for her to endure hunger, so she had already dug in. While eating, she spoke up, “Don’t give him any egg whites, or else he might choke.”

This incident was one of Xiaobao’s greatest scandals in life so far. While he was eating a boiled egg, he choked on the egg whites. Since then, Yaoniang stopped giving him egg whites.

But that was an accident!

It was a pity that no one listened to Xiaobao, but he also didn’t really care. He had a small body and a small mouth. He could only concentrate on one thing, which was sucking noodles, so he couldn’t be bothered with protesting.

The family of three were all holding a bowl and sucking noodles. This was the first time Jin Wang was a part of such a shameful scene.

He was eating his noodles from the large bowl.

Actually, it wasn’t that uncommon. When he was in the barracks, everything was simple. While they were out, it wasn’t uncommon to eat nothing for an entire day. But the crux of the matter was that holding a large bowl and slurping noodles in front of his woman and son gave Jin Wang a feeling of inelegance.

But Yaoniang praised him, saying, “Your Highness is really amazing. Just now, someone sent over some evening snacks but we didn’t dare to eat them. Where did you get these noodles? Aren’t the fires in the kitchens put out and the palace gates locked?”

Jin Wang felt a bit awkward. If he couldn’t even get a bowl of noodles, it would be a waste of living as a prince all these years.

Xiaobao ate in such a hurry that his lips were surrounded with egg yolk. He watched his mother being dumb and his father worrying, in silence.

Jin Wang thought about what he had just heard and looked at Yu Chan. Yu Chan explained to him about the matter just now. Yu Chan and An Eleven had even noticed someone peeping from outside. Although it was fleeting, it still made them a bit nervous.

Jin Wang frowned. “Rest early. Afraid the palace won’t be peaceful tonight.”

There were only a few lamps lit in the corners of the bedroom at Qianqing Palace. Shining dimly, they cast a faint yellow glow on their surroundings. The bright yellow bed curtains were hanging down when a little eunuch came in with a tray. Placed on it was a bowl of medicine.

“Your Majesty, it’s time to take the medicine.”

Emperor Hongjing was still sitting on the head of the bed. He had been sitting like this for a long time. The sudden appearance of the little eunuch seemed to have interrupted his contemplation, causing him some dissatisfaction. But it wasn’t obvious, there was only a faint ripple in his eyes.

The little eunuch placed the tray to the side, raised the medicine bowl, and held it to Emperor Hongjing with both hands.

Emperor Hongjing glanced at him and took the bowl of medicine. But it was precisely this glance that made him take another look at the eunuch.

This person seemed to be a bit off. Although his actions were normal and his face was calm, the look in his eyes was a bit wrong. Emperor Hongjing raised his thick eyebrows and asked, “Where’s Li Dequan?”

“Chief Eunuch Li went to the washroom.”

The little eunuch seemed a bit scared, and his voice was shaking. Emperor Hongjing seemed to vaguely recall that this eunuch seemed to be an errand eunuch, called Xiao Zhuozi.

For a eunuch of such a low rank to serve him his medicine, was everyone in the palace all dead?

Emperor Hongjing sneered and said, “You drink this bowl of medicine.”

“Your Majesty…” Xiao Zhuozi looked at Emperor Hongjing with surprise. After seeing the other’s face, his expression changed drastically. In a desperate last struggle, he said: “Your Majesty, this medicine is for you, so how would this servant dare to drink it…”

“If Zhen lets you drink it, then you drink it!” Before his voice fell, Emperor Hongjing said again, “Pour it down his throat. “

Before Xiao Zhuozi even had time to move, the bowl of medicine was taken from his hands. The other servants pressed him onto the ground and poured the bowl of medicine down his throat.

Like a dying carp, he struggled to resist as if the medicine was some sort of lethal poison. But soon, he stopped moving, then remained motionless. A trace of black blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.

The temperature of the room dropped.

Then with a thump, everyone knelt down.

Someone wanted to kill the emperor!

Mini-theatre:

Yaoniang: There’s something to eat! Xiaobao’s hungry!

Xiaobao: Obviously you’re the hungry one. I refuse to carry this pot for you!
