When Zhan Qingyue heard this, she gritted her teeth with hatred and even crushed the medicinal materials in her hand.

"This Rongguo Mansion is so courageous. It dares to invade our Zhan Mansion."

Han Yiyun had already expected this reaction, so he came up with an even more exciting idea.

"Yueyue, that maid also put all the blame on herself. She said that because she liked the second brother and hated the second sister-in-law, she poisoned their tea to harm the second brother's child."

Zhan Qingyue's face was almost turning green.

With her quick hands and feet, she randomly grabbed a few handfuls of medicine from the same pot of medicine and wrapped it in a handkerchief.

"Didn't she want to use poison to harm people? Then I'll treat them in the same way as they are treated."

After cleaning up the little maid, Han Yiyun felt that this matter was probably the instigation of the Rongguo Mansion. Otherwise, what the little maid said would not be tenable at all.

"Yueyue, Rongguo Mansion has been against us several times, but we can't do anything now. How about we go find King Cheng. Now that he has moved into the crown prince's residence in East Palace City, it must be more convenient in this regard."

When the two of them met King Cheng in his regular clothes at the former Prince Cheng's Mansion.

Although he still acted like the big brother next door to the two of them, the majesty and magnanimity surrounding him could not be hidden.

After all, he was the prince. Zhan Qingyue felt that the King Cheng in front of him was no longer the person who could conspire with them before.

She sighed invisibly, helplessness flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.

After all, we are in this world of mortals, and we can’t help ourselves.

"I have sent people to investigate what you are talking about. The bride who was just married into the Rongguo Mansion more than a month ago is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. The Xiao family is a merchant and is extremely wealthy."

"We have united a lot of shops in the past few days and hoarded a lot of food."

Hearing this, Zhan Qingyue and Han Yiyun couldn't help but look dull.

"We did unite with some merchants a few days ago to process a batch of old grain and replace it with a batch of new rice. Could it be that..."

Zhan Qingyue guessed that the truth was about to come out.

King Cheng nodded.

"That's exactly what happened. I guess it was just to retaliate against you for occupying the house, so I took this trick. You two need to be careful. After all, Rongguo Mansion has never dealt with you."

Zhan Qingyue nodded thoughtfully, seriously reflecting on King Cheng's words.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. It seems to me that the Rongguo Mansion is suddenly hoarding food. I am afraid it is not just to retaliate against me. Now that King Jin is imprisoned and His Highness has entered the East Palace, Rongguo Mansion has not taken any obvious actions during this period."

"As the saying goes, the storm is about to come. Your Highness must be careful about the recurrence of war. I am afraid that the Rongguo Mansion will not give up easily on His Highness entering the East Palace."

King Cheng looked at you and nodded. After listening to her sane analysis, he didn't dare to be careless at all.

After sending Zhan Qingyue and Han Yiyun away, King Cheng immediately called in counselors and mentioned Zhan Qingyue's reminder.

Unexpected counselor Zhao Qi didn't take it seriously at all.

"Your Highness, I am a young woman from Zhan County. She knows a little about business. She has been farming in Xia Xia and has quite a lot of experience. She has never understood the changes in the court. I think she is just being alarmist. "

Zhao Qi was the leader of their group of counselors who were raised in Prince Cheng's Mansion.

Now that he has spoken out against Zhan Qingyue, others have no choice but to agree. Even if a few have their own thoughts, it is difficult for them to speak anymore.

However, he saw King Cheng frowning and thinking deeply. He did not speak for a long time and allowed the counselors below to talk about it.

After a long while, he summoned the secret guard Cheng Yi.

"Chengyi, go and investigate the recent stockpiling of grain in Rongguo Mansion. What is the intention? If you find anything unusual in Rongguo Mansion, report it immediately."

Cheng Yi was the best in the entire secret guard camp. Now that his master was in need, he naturally didn't ask any more questions. He quickly retreated after receiving the order.

The counselors below had mixed reactions.

Among them, Zhao Qi's reaction was the most obvious.

"Your Highness, the lady who is the head of the county is clearly making alarmist remarks, so why should Your Highness bother with this? If the Rongguo Mansion finds out about such a thankless thing, it will come to our East Palace to take a look."

King Cheng waved his hand and said nothing more than the group of counselors at the bottom.

He had a mysterious confidence in Zhan Qingyue.

Ever since he was rescued by him in the woods, he has never cared less about what she said.

Now that she kindly reminds herself to be careful of war, there must be such a sign, so she must not be careless.

Besides, Zhan Qingyue and Han Yiyun left Prince Cheng's Mansion.

Han Yiyun was holding Zhan Qingyue's shoulders and hugging her in his arms.

"Yueyue, are you tired? Do you want me to give you a squeeze on your shoulders?"

Zhan Qingyue shook her head gently, and under the cover of the sound of horse hooves, she whispered: "I'm not tired. I don't know if His Highness will take what I say seriously. Anyway, it's strictly forbidden to believe it. If you don't believe it, it's up to him. .”

While the two of them were still talking affectionately, the carriage suddenly stopped.

If Han Yiyun hadn't held Zhan Qingyue in his arms, the two of them would have hit the wall of the carriage heavily at this moment.

Han Yiyun clutched his head and grimaced in pain.

Zhan Qingyue rubbed her hands for him and shouted sternly toward the outside of the carriage: "Hu San, what happened outside? Aren't your driving skills always very good?"

Unexpectedly, Hu San outside also shouted towards the carriage.

"Uncle, this old man went crazy and suddenly got under our car. I swear to God, I really didn't hit him."

Zhan Qingyue and Han Yiyun were in the carriage. Both of them looked extremely ugly.

Han Yiyun gently patted Zhan Qingyue on the shoulder.

"Yueyue, you wait for me on the carriage, I'll take care of this little thing."

Han Yiyun's slender figure got off the carriage. He looked like a stranger, like a jade, and his son was unparalleled in the world.

A woman in the crowd suddenly rushed towards the old man under the wheel of the carriage.

The woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her appearance was barely enough to be described as comely.

"You rich people, do you still want to leave after bumping into my father? Today you have to give us an explanation. Is it easy for us poor people to make a living in the capital?"

Han Yiyun looked at the old man who was still two fists away from the carriage wheels and ignored the hysterical woman in front of him.

How could he not see that this was a ploy?

"Girl, please take a look clearly. Your father was not hit by us at all. He is still so far away."

The woman didn't listen to Han Yiyun's explanation at all. She threw herself on the old man and cried bitterly.

"Dad, you can't die. What should I do if you die?"

As soon as she said these words, people around her immediately gathered around her.
