Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 248 I’m Going to Die

What better way is there than to arrange a marriage between Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling?

As expected, Jing** was blocked by Empress Dowager Cui's words.

Everything was going in the direction that Queen Mother Cui had expected.

The position of Xiao Jingyi's principal wife was occupied by an orphan girl who had a great family background but no power.

The incident of catching an adulterer also had some negative effects on Xiao Jingyi.

For this reason, Jing**'s original plan to make Xiao Jingyi the crown prince was shelved.

Xiao Jingyi left Beijing and went to the northern border, where he was gone for five years.

Empress Dowager Cui never expected that the good situation she had spent so much time and effort planning would be broken as Yun Fuling returned to the capital.

She really underestimated Yun Fuling!

Even today when she set up a plan to teach Yun Fuling a lesson, she ended up being tortured by Yun Fuling to the point that her old bones were almost broken.

Queen Mother Cui really couldn't bear it anymore and had to stop thinking about it for the time being.

"Princess Yi has been busy all day, go down and have a rest."

Yun Fuling had originally planned to stay up all night.

Unexpectedly, just as she started to exert her strength, Queen Mother Cui couldn't bear it anymore.

Yun Fuling smiled secretly in her heart, but her face was full of a pair of dazed and innocent eyes, and she pretended to be stupid and said, "Queen Mother, your granddaughter-in-law is not tired. Your granddaughter-in-law will keep watch for you here, and it will be convenient for her to serve you."

The veins on Empress Dowager Cui's forehead were throbbing. If Yun Fuling continued to take care of her, she would probably lose her life.

Queen Mother Cui had a lot of grievances in her heart, but she had to put on a kind look on her face.

She patted the back of Yun Fuling's hand and smiled with all her might, "Good boy, the Royal Grandmother knows that you are filial, but the Royal Grandmother is not the kind of person who treats the younger generation harshly."

"You've been busy all day. It makes the Empress Dowager feel bad for you."

"Sang Tao and the others are serving in this palace."

"Be good, listen to your grandmother and go down to rest!"

Yun Fuling is not a servile person who would rush to serve Empress Dowager Cui.

She took the initiative to stay and take care of the patient in order to fight back for everything she had suffered.

Now that Empress Dowager Cui has surrendered, Yun Fuling decided to stop while she was ahead.

"Thank you, Grandmother. The granddaughter-in-law will go down to rest."

"Grandmother, please rest early."

Yun Fuling bowed and said with a smile.

Queen Mother Cui gritted her teeth secretly. If Yun Fuling hadn't deliberately tormented her, she would have rested long ago!

However, she still had a kind look on her face, waved her hand, and said, "Go."

There is no need to provoke the confrontation between the two parties, as they already know the truth.

Empress Dowager Cui originally planned to keep Yun Fuling in the palace to take care of her, so she did not prepare a place for Yun Fuling to rest.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of things in Shoukang Palace.

At the order of Empress Dowager Cui, the palace servants quickly cleaned up the side hall for Yun Fuling to rest.

Yun Fuling was indeed a little tired after a day of hard work.

After asking for hot water and washing up simply, Yun Fuling prepared to go to bed.

She didn't like anyone guarding her when she slept, so she sent all the palace maids out.

After all the palace servants had left, Yun Fuling stretched and was about to lie down to rest when she suddenly noticed someone in the room.

Yun Fuling remained calm and secretly took out a dagger from the space.

She raised her hand and was about to stab out, but someone stopped her first.

Seeing that she had lost the initiative, Yun Fuling was about to use drug powder to knock the other party out, but she heard Xiao Jingyi's voice instead.

"Fuling, it's me!"

Yun Fuling looked up subconsciously and saw that the person holding her was indeed Xiao Jingyi.

Yun Fuling showed a look of surprise on her face and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Jingyi let go of Yun Fuling's hand and held her in his arms.

"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

Thinking of Yun Fuling's behavior just now, Xiao Jingyi was not annoyed. Instead, he praised her: "That was good. You are very vigilant. Next time when I am not by your side, you should be as vigilant as today."

When Yun Fuling heard this, her heart felt as if it was soaked in honey water, sweet and warm.

She put her arms around Xiao Jingyi's waist, stood on tiptoes and kissed him.

"I'm fine!"

Then Yun Fuling told Xiao Jingyi everything that happened in Shoukang Palace that day.

Although Yun Fuling countered Empress Dowager Cui's move and foiled her plan, she even gave her a hard time.

But after hearing this, Xiao Jingyi felt proud and distressed.

"It's my fault……"

Yun Fuling interrupted Xiao Jingyi, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are cleaning up the Cheng'en Mansion just to vent your anger on me."

"We are husband and wife, so we should share happiness and difficulties together."

"The Third Prince sees you as a thorn in his side. Queen Mother Cui, having lost her own son, the Prince of Jiangzhou, will definitely support the Third Prince, the only prince who is related to her by blood."

"Even if it weren't for today's incident, Queen Mother Cui would have found other excuses to embarrass us in the future."

"Don't worry, I'm not someone you can easily mess with!"

Xiao Jingyi hugged Yun Fuling tighter.

He found that he seemed to love Yun Fuling even more.

I'm also glad that I kept her by my side.

Compared to those weak and pitiful women who have to rely on others for everything and depend on others for protection, like dodder flowers, Yun Fuling is more like a big tree.

Stand shoulder to shoulder with him and share the ups and downs.

Although sometimes Xiao Jingyi hopes Yun Fuling can rely on him more.

But Xiao Jingyi had to admit that what impressed him most about Yun Fuling was her confidence and arrogance that could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

After the two talked for a while, Yun Fuling urged Xiao Jingyi to leave the palace quickly.

When she saw Xiao Jingyi wearing eunuch's clothes, she knew that he had sneaked into the palace disguised as a eunuch.

If someone saw this, it might cause a big disturbance.

After all, adult princes are not allowed to stay overnight in the harem.

In order to avoid any further complications, it would be better for Xiao Jingyi to leave the palace as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, I should be able to leave the palace tomorrow."

Yun Fuling kissed Xiao Jingyi and urged him to hurry up.

"I'm leaving first. Be careful. Tianquan and his secret guards are staying in the palace to protect you."

"If anything happens, just blow the whistle to call them."

"Your safety comes first. If you run into trouble, just get out of there or go find your father to help you."

"Don't be afraid of anything. No matter how big the mess is, I'll take care of it for you!"

After meeting Yun Fuling, Xiao Jingyi felt relieved. After giving her a lot of instructions, he left reluctantly.

Yun Fuling had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Yun Fuling slept until she woke up naturally.

During this period, no one came to wake her up.

Yun Fuling got up and put on her clothes. As soon as she opened the door, the palace maid guarding outside greeted her with a smile.

"Princess Yi, good health."

"The hot water is ready. We will help Princess Yi wash up right away."

Yun Fuling nodded and asked, "What time is it?"

"Princess, it's three quarters past noon."

This hour was not too late, but it was much later than the time she usually got up.

Yun Fuling was used to sleeping until she woke up naturally. In Prince Yi's Mansion, no one would disturb her sleep unless there was an emergency.

But this is Shoukang Palace. Empress Dowager Cui didn't get angry when she saw her sleeping in. Could she be planning something bad again?
