"Brother, fortunately we were able to get out of here early." Xiao Changying, who had just recovered from his injuries and was able to get out of bed to stretch his muscles, couldn't help but sigh when he saw his brother.
Within two consecutive days, the second brother and the eighth brother died and were deposed, and the struggle for the crown prince became increasingly clear.
Xiao Changqing was stunned by Xiao Changying's words, and some fragmentary images flashed through his mind unexpectedly.
"Your Majesty, the imperial power is paved with blood; the throne is paved with conscience."
Her cold voice echoed in his ears. As a couple, he never put his guard up against her. He kept his ambitions secret from everyone, but he never hid them from her.
"Qingqing wants me to give up this path?"
At that moment, he asked this question subconsciously, with an unknown expectation in his heart. He didn't know whether he was expecting her to open her heart to him and say more.
He still expected her to ask something of him. He didn’t know if he would really put aside his years of hard work for her and become a leisurely prince, living a life of wealth and prosperity with her if she said yes that day. . .
However, she did not give him this opportunity. She said, "I am only reminding the prince that if you indulge in love affairs, your path to becoming an emperor may be ruined."
A basin of cold water extinguished his eager and expectant heart.
She was always like this. Whenever he treated her a little bit better or delayed his work for her, she would speak coldly to him, breaking his heart.
Being young and energetic, he also had his own temper. He would be rejected whenever he opened his heart to others. He could not suppress his anger. He could not remember how many times they had parted unhappily and he would leave again in anger.
All the past events are still vivid in my mind.
Xiao Changqing's heart seemed to be pierced by a dense array of needles again, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't help but take a deep breath to suppress it.
Looking down at his worried and annoyed brother, he finally felt a little warm in his heart. He knew that his brother was worried because he cared about him, and it was only when he remembered that the reason he withdrew was because he had lost his beloved forever that he suddenly realized the situation.
I accidentally revealed his scars and felt very upset and guilty.
Patting Xiao Changying's shoulder gently, Xiao Changqing pinched his shoulder again, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Brother, I'm here to tell you that the East Palace is pregnant."
After the court meeting today, the eunuch of the Eastern Palace waited outside the main hall and told Xiao Huayong in front of all the civil and military officials that the Crown Princess had fainted. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a pale face and stumbled towards the Eastern Palace. Everyone was looking forward to it, and the result was as expected.
The Crown Princess is pregnant and is already three months pregnant.
Xiao Changqing immediately turned his head to look at the emperor's expression. Even though he was very restrained, the ferocity and hidden anger did not escape his eyes.
Whenever Xiao Changqing thought of the emperor's expression just now, he felt a little more happy.
He hoped that Shen Xihe could give birth to a boy, and he would do his best to help this child ascend the throne.
He was not threatened by the Crown Prince, nor was he restricted by the current situation, nor was he afraid of becoming an enemy of the Eastern Palace.
Just to let Your Majesty die with regret!
How much did he hate the Shen family? How much did he fear that the heir with Shen blood would sit on the Xiao throne? How much did Xiao Changqing hope that this child would become emperor
It would be best to tell His Majesty such a "good news" just before he takes his last breath. Whenever Xiao Changqing thought of that scene, his blood boiled and he was extremely excited!
