Just when the third prince and others thought that the baby in Queen Xiao's hands was bound to die, the baby stretched out his hand strangely and took away the whip wrapped around him.
"Monster...monster..."
The third prince who was closer saw this scene with his own eyes and went crazy.
Empress Xiao, who was holding the baby, seemed to have just come back to her senses and yelled at the third prince.
"You are the monster, and the grandson of this palace is a lucky star from heaven. Come, come, come quickly, arrest King Ji..."
When the prince's people were hesitating whether to obey Empress Xiao's order, Jun Jiuji had already withdrawn the whip and whipped it again.
However, this whip was thrown at Queen Xiao.
This whipping directly knocked Queen Xiao unconscious. She obviously wanted to let go of the baby in her arms, but in fact, her hands held the baby tightly.
In other words, she felt the baby in her arms pulling her tightly, as if she was trying to use her body to resist attacks from the outside world.
Jun Jiuji was also surprised at this moment. Only he knew how much force this whip used.
But I didn't expect that a newborn baby would have such strength to take away his whip. This was wrong.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, so he swung his whip and swung it at the baby again.
The strange thing is that the whip was obviously aimed at the baby, but it still landed on Queen Xiao in the end.
"Help……"
Empress Xiao only uttered this cry for help, and she suddenly bent forward, curled up into a ball, and protected the child in her arms.
God knows how much pain her curves and spine were enduring at this time.
Moreover, none of this was what she wanted.
Ye Yining also felt something strange at this time. When she stepped forward and wanted to help Jun Jiuji, a scream came from the ruins nearby.
"Don't kill my prince..."
Ye Yining looked back and saw the prince crawling out of the rubble with his body covered in blood and several cuts on his head.
His eyes were looking directly in the direction of Queen Xiao, and he crawled forward one step at a time. His persistence shocked many people at the scene.
The people in the palace seemed to wake up in an instant, and all of them stepped forward to stop King Ji, preventing him from doing anything again.
At this moment, General An actually came with a large army to protect the prince, and many civil and military ministers came with him.
For a moment, the atmosphere around him was extremely strange.
Ye Yining was also slightly nervous. She was worried that these people would accuse them of some random crime, so she immediately walked over and took the whip from Jun Jiuji's hand.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Jun Jiuji took Xiao Ning'er's hand and held her in his arms.
General An first ordered people to check on the prince's condition, and then looked at King Ji.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, can you explain why you have to deal with a newborn baby? Are you so intolerant of His Highness the Crown Prince's child?"
Facing General An's questioning, Ye Yining was about to speak out, but Jun Jiuji held her hand down.
When Ye Yining raised her eyes to look at him, she unexpectedly heard Eunuch Fu's voice coming from behind her.
"General An, the emperor has decreed that you should be stationed in the palace of the Crown Prince. You are not allowed to enter or leave. Your Highness, King Ji, it is time for you to set off for Jiuhan Pass.
"Got it." Jun Jiuji responded and left with Xiao Ning'er.
Ye Yining turned back and glanced in the direction of Queen Xiao, and then left with Jun Jiuji.
General An originally received the message to protect His Highness the Crown Prince, but now that he heard the Emperor's order, he had no choice but to have people surround the Crown Prince's palace.
Judge Hong Yuan also came over with several doctors from the Imperial Hospital. However, when he saw the miserable condition of the prince, he regretted for the first time that he was on the wrong team.
When the third prince saw Xiaojiu leaving, he quickly followed suit.
At first, his pace was still slow. When he was far away from the Taiwang Palace, he seemed to have received some kind of forgiveness, and suddenly ran to the front and called out to King Ji.
"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, wait!"
Ye Yining turned around and glanced at the third prince, whose face was flushed and looked very excited.
Jun Jiuji also stopped and looked at the third prince with a calm expression.
"Is something wrong?"
The third prince looked back and saw that no one was watching them, and then said: "Xiaojiu, you just saw it, right? There is something wrong with the child born to the princess."
Jun Jiuji nodded, "There are indeed some problems. Do you have anything else?"
The third prince was startled, "Why don't we tell our father about this?"
Shouldn't they join forces to remove the prince?
Ye Yining probably guessed the intention of the third prince, she reminded softly: "Didn't Eunuch Fu come? Do you think the father doesn't know?"
"This... let's talk about this again. Wouldn't it be more certain?"
The prince is infertile, and this one child is still a problematic child. If this child is killed, wouldn't the prince be extinct?
How could he miss such an opportunity!
Jun Jiuji had no intention of joining forces with him, and said in a deep voice: "We are going back. You can do whatever you want!"
The third prince saw that King Ji and he were not of the same mind at all, so he had no choice but to watch them get into the carriage.
What he was hesitating about now was whether it would be better to stay in the capital and look after the prince, or whether it would be better to follow Prince Ji and the others to Jiuhan Pass.
No matter what, he always felt that he would suffer some losses, which were not small.
This feeling made him a little unhappy. After thinking about it, after he returned, he immediately wrote a letter to the owner of Shigu Valley, planning to marry Shen Yaozhi within three days.
…
Prince Ji's Mansion.
General Ye and Mrs. Ye rushed over as soon as they learned that their daughter and Prince Ji had returned to the palace safely.
Mrs. Ye was more anxious, so she immediately pulled her daughter aside.
"Ning'er, do you and King Ji want to stay in the capital and not go to Jiuhan Pass?"
Ye Yining couldn't make up her mind either, so she looked at Jun Jiuji.
Jun Jiuji knew Mrs. Ye's worries, so she explained: "My father hopes that Xiao Ning'er and I will go to Jiuhan Pass, and Eunuch Fu also came to send a message asking us to set off now, so no matter what, I and I
Xiao Ning'er has to go there."
"But..." Mrs. Ye hesitated, she got stuck after saying two words.
General Ye weighed it for a while and then said: "If the emperor wants you to go to Jiuhan Pass, then you should leave as early as possible, go early and come back early. General An and his people went straight to the Tai Palace today, and they have not yet reached the Tai Palace.
He has already asked people to spread all kinds of rumors in the city that are not good for you, and I am worried that General An will rebel."
When Ye Yining heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.
After pondering for a moment, she suddenly looked at Jun Jiuji: "How about we deal with General An before leaving?"
