Chapter Ninety-Three: Death on the Battlefield
Two years after the two got married, Xiao Wu was born. Because Qin Huasu was weak and needed to take care of the child, he had no energy to raise the child, so the queen sent Xiao Wu to raise it at that time, that is, in the queen mother's palace.
"Originally, the emperor's maternal grandfather wanted to make his father the crown prince, but at that time, when Sion invaded, wars broke out everywhere, and the military situation was urgent, so the emperor sent his father to lead the army. I thought that when my father returned triumphantly, I would be able to inherit the crown prince as a matter of course, but what I didn't expect to come back was the news that my father had died on the battlefield, and there were no bones left."
Speaking of this, Chu Mohan paused, with a sad expression.
Chu Wanxiang thought of the same thing as her imperial brother, the resonance was very deep, the indifference on her face melted, and she put her other hand on Chu Zhan's back holding her.
"After the death of his father, the emperor's grandfather was severely injured and his health deteriorated, and his mother and concubines wept all day long. A group of dragons cannot be without a leader. Although the emperor's grandmother was very sad, she had to stand up for the sake of the overall situation. She chose her adopted son, the current emperor, to succeed her and appointed Gu's eldest son as General Zuo to lead the army in battle. After three months of fighting, the war finally subsided, and the enemy was repulsed. Therefore, Gu's parents and son were canonized as the Marquis of Zhenbei."
It turned out that my uncle's Marquis of True North was bought at that time.
This was the first time Chu Wanxiang knew how Gu Changfeng became the Marquis of Zhenbei.
"I thought the world would be peaceful after the war, but I didn't expect that this would be the beginning of tragedy. After Chu Yan sat on the dragon chair, his tyrannical nature was fully revealed. In order to secure his throne, he purged his former brothers and sisters, all the princes were put to death, all the princesses were married off by him to other countries, and the concubines and concubines of the dead princes were included in his harem."
"After." Such a royal secret has completely shocked Chu Wanxiang.
Who would have thought that a prince's life experience would be so bumpy.
"On my twelfth birthday, I burned them alive. After Chu Yan found out, he wanted to put me to death on the grounds that he would put people to death. This isn't the first time he's wanted me dead. When I was three years old, I ordered people to put poison in my food, at the age of five, I was ordered to push into the lake, at the age of seven, the assassins were sent to surround me, and at the age of ten, I was locked up in an iron cage full of wild beasts......".
It is inconceivable that a child who is only a few years old can grow up unharmed after experiencing one such persecution after another.
The pity for Chu Mohan became stronger and stronger, Chu Wanxiang slowly clenched her fingers, her eyes were full of distress.
"If it weren't for the emperor's grandmother and eldest brother in the past few years, I'm afraid I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago." When I think of my eldest brother Xiaosheng, it is another sad story.
"The emperor's grandmother did everything she could to support me, and took me to live in Putuo Temple for five years on the pretext of considering the mistakes I made. Only then did she protect me and grow up safely."
When they came back five years later, Xiao Yun and Chu Yan already had their own forces, and he deceived Bei Linghuang with his cynicism and idleness, making Bei Linghuang relax his vigilance and survive in adversity.
"It turns out that His Highness is also a hardworking man."
Knowing that Chu Mohan had also encountered the same ups and downs as himself, Chu Wanxiang's hostility towards him just now disappeared without a trace.
After all, they are all victims of Xiao Yan's persecution.
"Wanxiang, you and I are both victims of a brutal war, so I said, I understand your suffering."
Facing Shang Chu Wanxiang's eyes, that kind of affection cannot be expressed in words.
Holding each other's hands gradually warmed up, and the same experience made the two of them cherish each other.
This made the two people who were already in love with each other fall deeper and deeper.
The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous and intimate, the two beautiful heads slowly approached, and under the traction of the bond, Chu Zhan's lips touched Chu Wanxiang's soft lips.
Unlike the gentle and tentative kisses before, this time, it was passionate from the beginning.
His strong arms hugged Chu Wanxiang tightly, and those big hands hugged her tightly into his arms.
The scorching man's breath fluttered
The body temperature dropped, and the head bulged slightly.
As the kiss deepened, she only felt that there was not enough oxygen in her mouth, and she gradually fainted.
In the end, the whole person almost lost all his strength and lay in Chu Mohan's arms.
"Your Highness the Princess."
With what little strength he had left, he lifted his hand and pressed it lightly against his chest.
She's not ready, not yet. new
Her feelings for Xiao Zhan are extremely complicated, she uses them, sympathizes with them, and likes them.
These emotions were intertwined, and she couldn't tell whether she liked him more or sympathized with him.
It is impossible for her to have any further intimacy with him until she is sure of what she wants.
"I know, I'm not going to force you." As much as he really wanted to, his strong self-control prevented him from taking the next step.
His hands were still around her waist and back, and he didn't take half a step beyond the threshold.
What kind of temperament is Chu Wanxiang? He knew exactly what he was exposed to these days.
And he doesn't want to force others to be embarrassed, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet.
"Wanxiang, this king is waiting for you. Until you figure out what you're thinking." He gently stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead.
This man always reassures me.
A warm current flowed through Chu Wanxiang's chest again.
Raising his head to meet his gaze, it was as warm as water: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"But don't keep me waiting too long. After adding a sentence, Chu Mohan showed a smug smile.
While he's not a tough guy, he's not a guy who can sit still.
How could I be completely unaware of being under the same roof with my beautiful wife every day?
Chu Wanxiang: "......"
Do you think his smile is meaningful?
"It's late at night, Your Highness should go to bed early, and tomorrow according to the rules, you have to get up early to go to the palace to say hello."
Now that I've become a princess, it's inevitable to deal with people in the palace.
He got up and wanted to find a quilt for Xiao Wu, but he smiled slyly, took off his shoes, socks and clothes, and fell asleep on the bed.
Seeing this situation, Chu Wanxiang sighed secretly, it seemed that she was going to sleep elsewhere.
As soon as he turned around, Chu Mohan grabbed his wrist and took him to the bed with a little strength.
He didn't know when Chu Guan was taken down by him and thrown aside. She was lying on the big bed, but when she remembered, she was held down.
"On the wedding night, there are people guarding outside. If you go out, aren't you afraid that people will say that the king and the princess are not a good match, so you will sleep in separate rooms on the wedding night?" Xiao Wu smiled brightly, and Chu Wanxiang looked at him like a fox.
