When I woke up the next day, the room was tidy, the saber lay quietly on the table, and I began to tremble unconsciously.

"Huaxi, Huaxi," I shouted.

An unfamiliar face hurriedly ran in, "Princess, my name is Jingwan, from today onwards, I will serve you."

Tears couldn't stop flowing, I should have known, I should have known from the matter of the princess, everything was too smooth, with Jing Xuan's sensitivity and suspicion, he would definitely doubt my motives, no matter how strong the feelings were, they couldn't withstand the fatal attraction of power, didn't they?

What else can I rely on now? Is it his possessiveness for me, or is it the forces lurking behind it.

I was thinking too much about it, I didn't notice that my nails were a little bumpy, how is Jing Feng now, is there any danger to his life, I have to find a way to meet him.

I rolled over and got out of bed, "Jingwan, come and wash and change for me."

I packed up and was going to see the emperor, I had to know Jing Feng's condition, and two Imperial City guards blocked my way in front of the door.

"Princess, the emperor has ordered you to recuperate in peace during this time." Two knives crossed in front of me, and one of the guards said with a blank face.

I casually plucked the jade hairpin from my head and slammed it on the ground, and the crisp sound showed that it was broken.

"Today, if you let it, I will get it, and if you don't let it, I will get it!" I looked coldly at the two kneeling down, "The emperor asked you to look at me, what he wants is for me to live, if I die, can you still live?!"

I crossed the threshold and hurried forward, and when I came to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, my father-in-law heard the news that the emperor did not want to see me.

The sun was in full bloom, and I stubbornly stayed where I was, and stayed until sunset.

Day after day, I waited for seven days, but he still refused to see me, and the light in my heart was extinguished inch by inch.

"Princess, the emperor asked the old slave to tell the princess, go back, the emperor is now entangled in state affairs, and if the old department of King Yongyang is not eradicated for a day, he will not be able to see you for a day." The father-in-law looked embarrassed.

Unmoved, I stared at the porch of the Heart Cultivation Temple.

"You just go back, don't embarrass the old slave, after a while, the emperor's anger will be gone."

"Okay." My voice was hoarse, and I struggled to utter the word.

I moved step by step towards the breeze courtyard, and my feet seemed to be filled with a thousand pounds of lead water.

He was chasing the old department of the King of Yongyang, presumably there must have been enough garrisons outside the city, waiting for the elite of the southern country to throw themselves into the net, and I thought that the water was leaky actually gave Jing Xuan the best excuse to send troops to the southern country.

I didn't stand firm for a moment, I leaned against the palace wall, and the roses growing outward on the wall were so bright that they covered the entire wall, and I reached out to pick one, but I couldn't reach it.

"Princess, do you need the help of the slave?" A eunuch appeared behind him.

I waved my hand and wanted to keep going.

"Princess, your health is important, Your Highness the Fifth Highness asked me to bring you a message."

I turned my head slowly, and the eunuch was hunched over, unable to see his expression clearly.

I kept walking, afraid that someone else would notice something different.

"The Fifth Highness was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison on purpose, and the princess didn't have to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall every day......" He walked slowly after me.

"Who are you?"

"The secret chess of the Fifth Highness, the Queen Mother is my benefactor......" He raised his hand to pluck five roses, and then tore them off from the middle, turning them into five and a half flowers, this is the code word that Jing Feng and I had set when we were children in order to avoid the punishment of the Queen Mother.

Dark Chess nodded at me, as if I was insulting him.

"Dog minion, I can't do it if you let me break the branches! I'm going to make sweet brew for the emperor, what do you want!" I watched the Imperial City Division guard passing by, acting in response to his wishes.

"His Royal Highness the Fifth is in prison, and the emperor sent the Imperial City Division and the heavy troops of the capital to wantonly kill the old department of King Yong, and it is better to kill a thousand than miss one, and at present, the people of the whole capital are panicked and the foundation is unstable. At the same time, the garrison in the territory has also moved outside the city to wait for the capture of the Nan people, and now the palace guards are empty......

"What do you need me to do?" I twisted the petals in my hand

"Ten days later, on the tenth day of the seventh month, there will be a major event outside the palace, when the Imperial City Division will be transferred to the maximum extent, and the five princes will rush into the palace with the secret guards who are ambushed in the capital, respond inside and outside, directly kill the unidentified emperor, and return the blood of the Daguang royal family to the purity. Princess...... We need to contain the emperor and as many palace people as possible." He looked up at me.

……

There are also ten days, the tenth day of the seventh month.

Back in the Qingfeng courtyard, my hands couldn't stop shaking slightly, and my excitement made me want to vomit.

I touched my lower abdomen and sneered, "Those who become big things are not informal, aren't they?"

The first day of the seventh month

I took advantage of the sun again to go to the temple of nourishing the heart, this time not standing, I knelt in front of the temple, as expected, seven days of anxiety, coupled with the basic water and rice did not enter, I lived up to expectations and fainted.

There were the exclamations of the eunuchs in his ears, the chaotic footsteps, and Jing Xuan's indifferent voice, he probably thought I was acting.

It wasn't until I woke up and saw him put my hand to his lips, revealing anxious eyes, that I knew I had something to rely on.

The fourth day of the seventh month

Although the baby has not yet taken shape, the emperor has often stuck to my lower abdomen these days, smirking low, and his face is full of happiness.

"Chen Yuan, if he is a prince, he is my eldest son, and he will be made a prince when he is born, and I will teach him to ride a horse and shoot arrows......

"What if it's a princess?" I asked softly.

"Then I will give her all the delicious and fun things in the world." He raised his head, his eyes shining with stars, "Chen Yuan, stay by my side, I will treat you and the child well."

His hand was on mine, his fingers intertwined.

I looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay, Chen Yuan is willing to accompany Brother Jingxuan."

The fifth day of the seventh month

Today I vomited even more, and I always felt like the child in my belly was struggling to survive.

The imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse and said that the pulse was a prince, and the emperor was overjoyed and rewarded a thousand gold.

The little eunuch brought the words, Jing Feng had been replaced from the prison unharmed, and the person who replaced him was seven points similar to him, and the emperor was immersed in the joy of having a prince and did not notice it.

I asked the little eunuch to prepare some firewood and secretly piled it up in the firewood room in Qingfeng's small courtyard.

Looking at Jingwan's suspicious expression, I whispered to her with a happy face, I want to prepare a surprise for the emperor, when we were children, we often did this, light a bonfire, enjoy the stars together, you must not tell the emperor.

She smiled and nodded, after all, the princess has an imperial heir, and she is about to become the lord of the six palaces, and she will be in harmony with the emperor.

Who's going to guard against me? Who would have thought of my true intentions.

The ninth day of the seventh month

At sunset, I looked at the stars in the sky and gently stroked my stomach.

It's time for it to end.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the seventh month

"It's water, it's water, it's water...... it's water,

There was the voice of the guards of the Imperial City Division, and there was also the cry of the palace maid and eunuch.

I quietly put down the torch and stood in the middle of the room and closed my eyes, feeling silent in my heart. For the sake of this unborn imperial heir, Jing Xuan will come to see me for the last time.

"Tatsumoto, Tatsumoto!"

It was Jing Xuan's voice, he shook my arm, I opened my eyes, he was covered in dirt, and his face was red from fire.

Without saying a word, he spilled all the water from the bucket in his hand on the quilt, wrapped me up and rushed out.

During this time, the spark that fell from the beam of the house smashed on his back, and he snorted, the expression on his face was very painful, but his hand held me tighter.

The palace was full of shouts and killings, and Jing Feng rushed in with people.

Jing Xuan took me to retreat to a side hall, and he was waiting, waiting for the Imperial City Division and the garrison outside the palace to enter the palace.

I saw the opportunity, suddenly broke free from his grasp, and began to rush out of the temple, I want to reveal our position as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

Ignoring his injuries, he rushed over to restrain me and hugged me from behind.

"Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, you are good, when this matter is over, I will marry you, and our prince will definitely be clean."

"I won't marry you! I hate you, I want to kill you!" I tried hard to break free from his grip, tears falling like beads, trying to pierce his heart with every word.

His eyes turned bloodshot red, and his tone was steady, "I won't let you leave me, never."

……

Brother Jing Feng led people to rush into this side hall, and the two sides of the people and horses fought together.

Jing Xuan stabbed at Brother Jing Feng with a sword, and frames of images flashed in my mind, the queen mother, Jing Feng punished and knelt, Yelu Qi rode and shot, and the third highness I once loved the most......

I rushed forward, stretched out my arms to meet the blade of the sword and hugged Jing Xuan, the sword passed through my body, I felt a chill in my abdomen, and fell on Jing Xuan's body.

I smiled softly, because Jing Xuan was crying, and this time his crying was really painful, I could see it.

I flipped my wrist, and the short knife hidden under the sleeve of his robe pierced his heart with precision, his pupils tightened, and then his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and his hand slowly stroked my face, our blood blended.

"Brother Jingxuan, return this mountain and river to the Fifth Highness, and our family of three will go down for a reunion." I leaned close to his ear, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth, using the last of my strength.
