Emperor Jingyuan chuckled, "That year, I didn't think of harming you at first, but I overheard my mother mentioning your life experience..."

Prince Xian, who was in a trance, immediately raised his eyes after hearing these words, and his eyes became clearer.

"That day, the essay I wrote was praised by my father, so I was very happy, and I couldn't wait to rush to the Kunning Palace. I wanted to share the good news with my mother, but I saw her hysterical side ...It was only then that I realized that you, Xiao Qi, were not born of your mother's empress, but the son of Concubine Shu, whom the emperor loved the most. Back then, the empress and concubine Shu were pregnant at the same time, and later gave birth at the same time... At that time, the status of the Jiang family was not yet stable. , the mother's younger brother caused trouble again and aroused public outrage. The mother desperately needed another prince to stabilize the throne, but the mother gave birth to a lifeless little princess... For this reason, the mother's eyes fell on the fact that she would not compete for favor at all. Concubine Shu, everyone in the harem thinks that the father has no love in his heart, and he is also exposed to the rain and dew of the women in the harem, but only the mother knows that Concubine Shu is different!"

Concubine Shu is the white moonlight of Emperor Jing, the woman he has admired for many years!

It was only in order to protect Concubine Shu that Gaozu Jing deliberately concealed it, which allowed Concubine Shu to live a peaceful life in the palace for so many years.

It wasn't until Concubine Shu became pregnant that the queen gradually realized that the seemingly insignificant Concubine Shu was the woman the emperor really wanted to care for.

This made the proud and self-satisfied Queen Jiang unbearable, so she planned something, and finally turned the seventh prince from Concubine Shu into the seventh prince from Zhonggong..."

Prince Xian frowned, and his hands on his knees were tightly clenched into fists.

Peach blossom eyes, a piece of blood red.

"When I was young, my mother always favored you. Even if you couldn't write a good article, you wouldn't be scolded, but my mother was extremely strict with me. I really didn't understand at first. I always felt that my mother was partial, but later Wuwu knows your life experience before she understands why the queen mother did this, only by doing so can she raise your character and train me to be a qualified heir..."

Emperor Jingyuan always thought that he was the unlovable son, so he had evil thoughts.

He intentionally let people lay slippery moss near the back pool, he wanted to kill his own brother;

His idea is very simple, as long as Xiao Qi dies, the queen mother will love him more.

It never occurred to him how vicious the thought was.

"Actually, the moment I saw you struggling in the water, I regretted it. Before I decided whether to jump in to save you, my aunt's maid happened to pass by, so I had no choice but to jump..." Emperor Jingyuan coughed again, "I have regretted it all these years, if I hadn't done that..."

"There is no medicine for regret in the world," Prince Xian interrupted him forcefully, with a deep tone, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

This time, Prince Xian really left.

Until the gate of Qianqing Hall was slowly closed, Emperor Jingyuan closed his eyes with a sad expression.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

It rained early in the morning in Kyoto, and after the autumn rain, the singing of cicadas became more joyful.

Autumn is high and crisp, and when the wind blows, the maple leaves are falling.

Prince Xian's Mansion.

Shen Yao came to the palace with a box of crystal moon cakes. At that time, Prince Xian was drinking alone in the study.

"My wife has made some new mooncakes, why don't you try them, my lord?"

"I have a heart." Prince Xian forced a touch of gratitude, and said in a flat tone.

"Has your lord ever thought about how to take the next road?" Shen Yao went straight to the topic, "Or is it that your lord is going to continue to complain? Now the riots in Chuzhou, the war in the northwest, the heavy rain in Huzhou... the Dajing Dynasty, the wind and rain, the prince is really serious. Do you wish to perish?"

The word subjugation, like a wake-up call, slammed on the heart of Prince Xian!

"This king...has never thought of subjugating the country." After a while, Prince Xian said firmly, "The Dajing Dynasty will not subjugate the country."

"Since the prince has made a decision in his heart, I hope that the prince can cheer up." Shen Yao said slowly, "My wife has been pestering the eldest princess for the past few days to inquire about Concubine Shu's past, and I heard that Concubine Shu's favorite food is It is this crystal moon cake, my lord might as well try it."

After saying these words, Shen Yao left.

The time he stayed in Prince Xian's mansion was only a quarter of an hour.

Zhou Yuheng opened the box of crystal mooncakes, gently twisted a piece and took a bite.

Fragrant rose fragrance, refreshing;

Prince Xian is not a person who likes sweets, but he ate six pieces of crystal mooncakes on this day.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival twenty-eight years ago, a fire broke out in the Hall of Hehuan in the harem, and the fire was raging.

Concubine Shu, who was favored by Emperor Jing, also lost her life in that fire——

The Princess' Mansion, Jade Garden.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, autumn is getting stronger.

Ji Zhao also often felt bloated, so Immortal Xianhe made serious calculations.

If nothing else happens, at the end of the month, Ji Zhao will also give birth.

And Shen Yao also took a leave of absence from the Hanlin Academy, and stayed by Ji Zhao's side all the time.

"I heard that the Holy Majesty has written an edict for the throne of Zen," Ji Zhao walked in the garden, and asked in a low voice, "Is the virtuous prince about to ascend the throne?"

"If there is no accident, it should be the end of the year." Shen Yao said in a low voice, "The army in the northwest is in chaos, and Prince Xian needs to go to the northwest to appease the hearts of the army in person."

"But the empress is watching. Once Prince Xian leaves the capital, will the empress act rashly?"

"Stupid Zhaozhao, if the queen doesn't act rashly, Prince Xian's ascension to the throne will be unfair after all!" Shen Yao nodded helplessly on the tip of her nose, and said with a gentle smile, "Zhaozhao, don't think about it, now you should You are the one to worry about."

Thinking of Ji Zhao's imminent delivery, Shen Yao's heart fluttered.

When a woman gives birth to a child, she is going through the door of hell.

Shen Yao was really afraid——

But he couldn't bear this crime for her.

"Master Shen, I seem to be the one who is about to give birth?" Looking at his frowning expression, Ji Zhao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

"Zhao Zhao, why don't we go to my mother to practice again?" Shen Yao thought for a while, and then suggested, "I always feel uneasy..."

"I see, you are the one who shouldn't be thinking wildly!" Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly, "It's ripe, when the baby thinks about it, there will be movement."

"But……"

"Okay, stop talking about it." Ji Zhao quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I heard from my grandmother that there are two new cakes in Xinghualou in the capital, you go and buy some, I want to eat !"

"Then I'll help you back to your room to rest first?"

"Also."
