After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ruoli was nervous the whole night, fearing that the extremely salty mooncake would cause something wrong with Xiao Yujing.

She got up from bed early, washed up, and went to the front yard to have breakfast with Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang came out yawning.

She was busy and tired last night, so she got up a little late today.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli already sitting at the table, she couldn't help rubbing her eyes.

"Why is it so early today?"

"Well, I couldn't sleep, so I came to have breakfast with mother." Jiang Ruoli said guiltily.

In fact, she wanted to wait for her father and elder brother to come back and ask about Xiao Yujing's situation today.

Mrs. Jiang was very surprised.

Feng Yiyun smiled and placed a steamed dumpling on the plate in front of Mrs. Jiang.

"It's rare for my little sister to eat breakfast with us, so mother should eat more."

Mrs. Jiang smiled, picked up the bun and started eating.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang stopped asking questions, Jiang Ruoli picked up her chopsticks and started eating silently.

After dinner, Jiang Ruoli still sat in the front yard and refused to leave.

Mrs. Jiang and Feng Yijun both noticed her abnormality.

"Li'er, is there something wrong with you?" Feng Yijun asked with concern.

"No, no..." Jiang Ruoli said quickly.

Madam Jiang and Feng Yijun looked at each other.

It seems something really happened.

However, Li'er didn't want to say anything, so the two of them naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.

Not long after, Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Jin returned to the mansion.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the hall, Jiang Ruoli stood up and rushed to the side of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Daddy!"

Duke Jiang was shocked.

"Li Er is very enthusiastic today..."

Jiang Ruoli ignored Duke Jiang's teasing and asked seriously, "Dad, nothing happened in the court today, right?"

Court?

What happened to Li'er?

Duke Jiang looked at Madam Jiang with a puzzled expression and asked with his eyes.

Mrs. Jiang shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.

Duke Jiang saw Jiang Ruoli's serious face and thought about what happened in the court today.

There is indeed one thing.

After the court was dismissed, the prince left him and the eldest brother alone, told them that He Zongsheng and He Lao had entered the capital, and urged them to be careful.

This was a court secret and should not have been told to Li'er, but since she asked, it must be something big was about to happen.

Besides, everyone present was a member of the Jiang family, so there was nothing to hide.

"Today, His Highness said that Mr. He from the He family has returned to Beijing."

Your Highness?

"Is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Duke Jiang was extremely puzzled. Who else could it be but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

"Then..." Jiang Ruoli bit her lip, "Is there anything unusual about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

abnormal?

Duke Jiang thought about it carefully.

If there is anything unusual, it is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's voice is a little hoarse today.

But this is not unusual. Maybe I have caught a cold.

After thinking about it, Duke Jiang shook his head.

Jiang Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

Just be fine.

Since he can still attend court, it means there is no impact.

"It's okay, Daddy. My daughter is back in the yard."

After saying that, he said hello to the Jiang family and left with the lucky fruit.

The Jiang family watched with a puzzled look on their faces as Jiang Ruoli's figure disappeared from their sight.

"What's wrong with Li'er today?" Duke Jiang was even more confused.

Mrs. Jiang was also very confused.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

When Li'er left the house yesterday, she was carrying a food box...

"Madam Xu, go to the kitchen and ask what mooncakes the young lady brought from the kitchen yesterday."

Li'er said yesterday that she brought mooncakes into the palace because she was afraid of being hungry.

Nanny Xu was gone for a short while and came back soon.

"Madam, Aunt Wang in the kitchen said that the young lady went to the kitchen late yesterday to pack a few mooncakes and took them away."

really.

Mrs. Jiang suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"What mooncakes did you bring?" she asked quickly.

"They are the red bean mooncakes made by the young lady." said Aunt Xu.

Mrs. Jiang's face turned ugly in an instant.

"What's wrong ma'am?"

When Duke Jiang saw her expression change, he quickly asked.

Madam Jiang spoke with difficulty: "Li'er brought red bean-filled mooncakes into the palace yesterday."

Duke Jiang was even more puzzled.

What's wrong with bringing mooncakes into the palace?

Madam Jiang continued, "Li'er took the mooncake box to the East Palace. When she came back, the mooncakes were gone..."

"It's gone, so it's gone. Just a few mooncakes..."

Duke Jiang suddenly thought of something and fell silent.

Then he looked at Mrs. Jiang with horror.

Madam, what you mean is that Li'er brought that extremely salty mooncake into the palace and gave it to the prince, and the prince ate it?

Duke Jiang couldn't believe it and looked at Madam Jiang questioningly.

Is it really what he thinks?

Mrs. Jiang nodded slowly.

Yes, it's what you think.

Duke Jiang felt as if he was struck by lightning.

No wonder the prince's voice is so hoarse today.

Your Highness, you really can eat anything...

Jiang Ci Jin and Feng Yi Jun also understood what Mrs. Jiang meant. They looked at each other, feeling extremely helpless.

My little sister is really something. It turns out that she stayed in the front yard all day because she was worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

The family members had complicated expressions on their faces.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruoli, who had just left, turned back in a hurry.

"Daddy!"

Duke Jiang was frightened.

When he turned around, he saw Jiang Ruoli looking at him seriously.

What else happened?

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ate something else that he shouldn’t have?

"Dad," Jiang Ruoli said seriously, "The old man you just mentioned, is he Mingrong's father?"

The former Prime Minister of Dacheng?

Duke Jiang was unable to react for a moment, and nodded blankly, "Yes, it's the former Prime Minister, Lord He, He Zongsheng."

[It was indeed him. ]

Jiang Ruoli frowned tightly.

[This old man He originally came to Beijing secretly. He took advantage of the period when various countries came to Beijing to pay tribute and caused a lot of trouble in Beijing. He not only suppressed the crown prince, but also reached out to the military camp and planted a lot of people. ]

【Through this opportunity, the third prince's status in the court has risen rapidly, and his reputation has spread far and wide in various countries.】

[But how did Dad know that Mr. He had come to Beijing? ]

After hearing Jiang Ruoli's words, Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Yan looked at each other.

It should be for the third prince.

Now the third prince is still imprisoned in the clan residence. If Mr. He does not show up, there is no way to rescue the third prince.

[But it’s good that Daddy and the others know about this, so they can take precautions and protect the Jiang family.]

[After all, according to the original development of the matter, the Jiang family was already at the end of its strength, so it was naturally easy to plant spies in the military camp. ]

[But now, the Jiang family army is like a solid wall. If you want to squeeze people in, it will probably take some effort...]

The Jiang family members looked at each other and agreed with Jiang Ruoli's idea.

but......

Jiang Ruoli remembered an incident in the original book.

[This He Zongsheng is simply insane! ]

[At that time, the Crown Prince was no longer favored by the Emperor. In order to deal a fatal blow to the Crown Prince, they actually plotted to kill the Queen! ]
