Even though he knew that he would probably not be humane in the future, the prince was still unwilling to give up the last bit of hope.

After all, it's one thing to know, but if you really give up that little hope, it's a real catastrophe.

What does it mean?

It means that he has no heirs in the future, and it means that even if he ascends the throne, it is likely that he will not be able to maintain it, after all, no matter who he is, they are staring at his heirs, and if he does not, it means that he will be forced to abdicate.

The crown prince tasted the benefits of power in his previous life, and it was impossible for him to give up everything, so he could only grasp such a little bit of sweetness and hold everything into his own hands.

If you have the opportunity, you have to go if you don't have the opportunity to create the opportunity.

When necessary, he needs to cultivate a stand-in, after all, the emperor's failure to raise is a matter that shakes the foundation of the country.

The prince made up his mind.

And at this time.

The doctor finished prescribing the medicine in fright, and without waiting for him to leave, he was directly invited to the backyard by the prince's henchmen, saying that he would let him out when the prince was cured.

This is a nice thing to say, but in fact, I'm afraid that he won't be able to get out of this backyard for the rest of his life.

After all, there is no solution to the drunken spring breeze.

And throwing him in the backyard to guard, on the one hand, is so that he can help the prince ask for a pulse anytime and anywhere, and he also comes for the sake of the prince's reputation.

After all, if the prince of a country does not raise it, the fewer people who know it, the safer it is.

If the prince doesn't lift it, then the child in Xue Bitao's belly is his only heir, although he doesn't like Xue Bitao very much, but now the prince can only accept his fate, and he has to pray that the one in Xue Bitao's belly must be a boy.

The crown prince originally had a stand-in, and now it just came in handy.

As long as a man doesn't want to be put on a green hat, but now, even if the prince doesn't want to, there is no way.

He couldn't let others know that he didn't lift it, so he asked the stand-in to pamper his beautiful concubine that night.

And Xue Bitao is there.

Because Xue Bitao is his only child in her belly, no matter how much the prince doesn't like Xue Bitao, he must provide her with delicious food and drink.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is naturally a palace banquet.

In the past year, I don't know if it's because of too many natural disasters, the emperor's body is not as good as day by day, and the basic affairs are handed over to the prince to do, and the prince, the yin skull under his eyes has become more and more thick, and his eyes are cold like a sharp sword, which makes people can't help but be oppressed.

Thinking about last year's palace banquet, Jiu Jiu was still sitting with the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Xue Bitao, but this year, he sat with Zhou Haiqing, and Zhou Haiqing was also very considerate of preparing vegetables for himself, Jiu Jiu blinked his eyes, and had the illusion of being in a different world.

After a while, Xue Bitao, who had always seen the dragon without seeing the end, and the queen walked out hand in hand.

I don't know if it's Jiujiu's illusion, she always feels that Xue Bitao's big belly is a little outrageous, especially when walking, she can barely see the toes with a big belly, and because of this, the queen is extremely careful about Xue Bitao's attitude.

The two of them sat down on their seats with a shaky twist.

The queen directly asked Xue Bitao to sit beside her, and took care of Xue Bitao without pretending to be someone else's hand, this favor made the person who originally thought that Xue Bitao was not a sacred heart instantly silent.

Even if Xue Bitao is not favored by the prince, as long as the queen likes her, her position as the crown princess will definitely be secure.

Because of Xue Bitao, the dishes at the palace banquet are all suitable for pregnant women.

Because of the joy, Xue Bitao has not been able to eat a good meal in the past few months, almost vomiting and eating, and even for the health of the child, she is often handed a bowl of tonic soup that is difficult to eat by her grandmother, seeing the exquisite and lovely dishes in front of her, which looks refreshing and pleasant, Xue Bitao instantly got up and picked up the chopsticks and put them in her mouth.

The vegetables are crisp and delicious, and the taste is exceptionally sweet in the mouth, so that Xue Bitao, who used to eat everything like chewing wax, instantly had a great appetite, and couldn't help but eat two more bites.

Before she could pick up the teacup and drink water, her lower abdomen suddenly twitched violently, and then a stream of heat gushed down along the gap between her legs.

The people who had been talking happily fell silent in an instant, and the queen's face changed, and she no longer cared about etiquette, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Imperial Doctor, go and ask for Imperial Doctor." ”

The prince, who was originally pushing the cup and changing the lamp with the ministers, turned pale, and hurriedly got up and walked towards Xue Bitao with an anxious face, and then saw Xue Bitao in a mess, and immediately bent down and picked up Xue Bitao and walked quickly towards the palace on the side.

There was such a change at the palace banquet, and the emperor, who was originally reluctant to show his joy because of the New Year, was also extremely ugly, and said sharply: "Check for me, check for me fiercely." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he left with the support of ********, while the rest of the personnel were strictly controlled, after all, the matter of the crown princess may have a miscarriage.

Looking at the crowd coming and going, Zhou Haiqing held Jiujiu's hand without a trace, and whispered in Jiujiu's ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Jiujiu turned his head sideways, looked at Zhou Haiqing's calm and undisturbed face, and sighed.

Because Zhou Haiqing was a big official, he was the first to be inspected and left quickly.

The two walked all the way to the entrance of the palace, even if they had already sat in the carriage, they could still hear the noise from the inner palace, but they were afraid that this year's New Year would not be easy.

The next day, news broke.

There is no problem with what Xue Bitao eats, but the handkerchief of the chopsticks is sprinkled with musk, so it will cause Xue Bitao to move the fetus, but fortunately, Ji people have their own natural appearance, although it is dangerous, but it is still saved, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

Because of Xue Bitao's almost miscarriage, a layer of gloom shrouded in the palace.

The officials did not dare to celebrate in a big way, and this year was not good.

Three days later, news came that the person who drugged had been caught, and it was the third prince who did it.

Although the third prince shouted again and again that he was wronged, saying that he did not do this, but the human and material evidence is there, and at the insistence of the four princes and the crown prince, even if the three princes can name a flower, they are still taken care of by the emperor and directly exiled to the fiefdom.

And Xue Bitao, because of the almost miscarriage, although the child was hugged, her body became sick and crooked, she could only lie in bed every day, and the wind could not blow at all, and her body was in great pain when there was a slight change in the weather.

Knowing the tragic situation of the three princes, Jiu Jiu muttered to Zhou Haiqing while eating grapes: "Is this really the third prince's doing?" ”
