Qi Jingyun rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Back to the topic." Yang Ruxin waved her hand, "I remember what you owe me, and I’ll make sure to get it back double in the future." She paused, "Now, we need to talk about the Crown Prince’s matter."
Qi Jingyun frowned.
"You know, the Crown Prince’s frail health isn’t natural; it’s because he’s been poisoned over a long period. After he discovered something was wrong, he became very cautious, which is why he didn’t die. I managed to detoxify him, and it was later found that it was Consort Feng who did it."
Qi Jingyun nodded, he was aware of this incident.
"When the Crown Prince was choosing his concubine, your mother recommended Feng Rong, who later became the Crown Prince’s Consort. On the surface, Feng Rong was your mother’s ally and would occasionally pass information to the Virtuous Concubine, but in reality, Feng Rong belonged to the Graceful Concubine. Your mother only placed her by the Crown Prince’s side."
Qi Jingyun frowned, there were hidden truths like this?
"So, it seems now that although the Graceful Concubine appeared to be low-key, she was actually a very formidable contender in palace intrigues, whereas your mother seemed powerful and appeared to control the harem but was actually a loser."
Qi Jingyun nodded: "That’s why I constantly advised my mother to stay low-key. Fortunately, she listened to me and wasn’t stubbornly obstinate." He rubbed his head as he spoke. He understood his mother’s intentions and he used to have similar thoughts, but after experiencing so much these days, his desire to secretly compete for the throne had waned, perhaps influenced by this woman.
"I didn’t tell the Emperor about this because it concerns royal secrets, and it wouldn’t be good for you or your mother. So, you’d better take care of it yourself."
Qi Jingyun nodded and did not say thank you.
"A word of friendly advice, Feng Rong has a cousin named Meng Keqing."
Qi Jingyun laughed: "I know, she was a concubine that the Han King kindly gifted to me and I couldn’t refuse, so she’s been living in my residence."
Yang Ruxin chuckled: "So, being lustful isn’t always a good thing; it gives people opportunities."
"It won’t happen in the future." Qi Jingyun said leisurely, though it was unclear what he was referring to.
Yang Ruxin couldn’t be bothered with him anymore: "Alright, everything’s been said, it’s time for you to leave. It’s getting late, my husband is not here, I need to mind my reputation."
"Reputation?" Qi Jingyun chuckled twice but did not stay any longer.
Yang Ruxin sighed, lifting her hand to rub her temples. She hadn’t wanted to get involved, but ended up doing so. What she wanted most was to go back. She missed her children, and they would turn one in over a month. She had to return, not wanting to miss that moment.
However, Yang Ruxin harbored a deep concern that the Han King could no longer remain hidden in the shadows, and he was surely about to raise an army. Was civil unrest truly unavoidable?
Amidst these worries, Yang Xiong returned, and the news he brought wasn’t good. That shopkeeper Zhu was a bona fide citizen of the Wa Country.
"Madam, I unintentionally saw someone, but because of the distance, it wasn’t very clear."
"Who?"
"Young Master Yong Cang." Yang Xiong hesitated for a moment, "But I ended up losing him."
"Yong Cang?" Yang Ruxin’s heart skipped a beat, "Didn’t he return to Wa Country? Why would he be in Haijin City?"
Yang Xiong shook his head, he naturally didn’t know the reason.
