Bang! Bang! Bang!

It's been the third watch, and Xu Jing hasn't come back yet.

Zhao Xiyan took a nap on the bed for a while, was woken up by the sound of beating, looked at the empty pillow, and couldn't help frowning.

What happened in the palace today was like a bowl of water poured into an oil pot, almost exploding the pot.

The news spread quickly, and in just half a day, it spread all over the capital...... Of course, the scope of dissemination is limited to the top official circles. Those middle and low-level officials below the fourth grade have not yet known their qualifications.

Zhao Xiyan naturally knew it clearly. Because of this, my heart was beating for most of the day, and it was difficult to be at peace.

The crown prince survived the death of the eighth day of the lunar month.

The crown prince said to Emperor Yongming that he would make Xu Jing the emperor's younger brother.

This is not only different from the previous life, it is simply a sea change. Whether this matter is successful or not, it will cause drastic changes in her and Xu Jing's lives......

The hosta has not slept, staying by the bed, seeing Zhao Xiyan open his eyes, he was stunned, knowing that the master was worried, and said in a low voice of relief: "The princess is pregnant, so it is not appropriate to think too much. The slave maid expected that the prince would not stay in the palace tonight and would definitely return home. The princess should sleep a little longer!"

Zhao Xiyan came back to his senses and smiled helplessly: "I can't sleep, help me up!" Let the kitchen prepare supper, and I'll wait for the prince to return home."

The hosta responded, exited the door and ordered to go down...

At this moment, a familiar slender figure strode in.

The hosta's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Xu Jing was full of worries, nodded slightly, and walked quickly into the bedroom.

Zhao Xiyan heard the familiar footsteps, his heart suddenly calmed down, and he stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Chunsheng, you are finally back. I've been waiting for you today."

The smile of the crescent moon sister is a supreme medicine.

Xu Jing's heart was hot, and his originally restless mood was instantly eased and calm. He stepped forward, stretched his arms, and hugged Zhao Xiyan into his arms.

Since Zhao Xiyan became pregnant, he was very restrained, even holding her, which was much softer than before, for fear of hurting the child.

Zhao Xiyan's forehead leaned against his forehead, comforting him like he had done when he was a child: "Brother Chunsheng, don't be afraid. No matter when, where, or what happens, I will stand side by side with you and face it together."

Xu Jing hummed, leaned over his lips, and kissed her lips.

This kiss is not eagerly greedy. Zhao Xiyan responded gently, giving him the greatest comfort.

After a while, Xu Jing raised his head and said in a low voice, "You know everything that happened in the palace?"

Zhao Xiyan snorted: "As soon as Zhou Shangshu left the palace, he sent someone to deliver the news."

"It's all old foxes." Xu Jing muttered; "You don't know, when my cousin said that he wanted to make me the emperor's brother, the first one to jump out and oppose it was Zhou Shangshu."

As a result, as soon as he left the palace, he sent someone to send news to Zhao Xiyan.

Zhao Xiyan chuckled: "This matter is still inconclusive. In front of the emperor and crown prince, of course Zhou Shangshu wants to show his loyalty."

"If you become a prince, the eldest sister will be the eldest princess in the future, and the Zhou family will become relatives of the emperor. How could Zhou Shangshu be unwilling?"

"Those who have attained enlightenment are of great help. Zhou Shangshu is willing to support you, it couldn't be better. And Wu Anbo and my eldest uncle will also be on your side."

"But that's not enough."

Xu Jing stepped back slightly, and looked at Zhao Xiyan with four eyes: "The person who really supports me with all my strength is the crown prince."

is worthy of being a childhood sweetheart who grew up together.

With Xu Jing's short sentence and complicated eyes, Zhao Xiyan had already guessed the unimaginable truth of others: "The prince did this because he had a heart attack and knew that his days were numbered?"

"It should be more than that. There are two princes and concubines in the East Palace, and no matter who gives birth to an heir, they can establish the emperor and grandson. Why is the prince so eager to push you in front of everyone? Unless, the crown prince knows that he will never have an heir."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiyan paused for a moment and suddenly came to his senses: "No wonder the prince suddenly decided to marry Su Huan and Murong Yan that day. Actually, both of them

It's a shield, and it's just a show to put it in the East Palace!"

Xu Jing: "......"

Xu Jing couldn't help but scratch his head: "I promised my cousin to keep it a secret for him."

Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "This is all my own guess, you didn't say anything. In the future, if the prince asks, you can go back with confidence."

All right! That's all there is to it.

Xu Jing quickly forgave himself and whispered to Zhao Xiyan, "Cousin and I have a heart-to-heart relationship tonight. I can't tell you everything. However, in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult. You have to be mentally prepared."

Zhao Xiyan smiled faintly: "No matter how bad it is, it's better than being forced to raise troops ~ plot ~ rebellion." Not to mention that you are the prince of the vassal king, even if the prince wants to compete for the succession of the prince, it is also an extremely dangerous thing. Now that the crown prince fully supports you, the queen mother has no objection, and the court and China still have help, which is already an excellent start."

"Brother Chunsheng, don't worry about me. I can withstand the wind and rain, and I will advance and retreat with you at any time."

Xu Jing's heart was hot, and he hugged his newlywed wife tightly; "Okay, let's work together."

The two snuggled up to each other, kept warm for a moment, and continued to whisper when their emotions were stable.

"I have to get up early tomorrow to go into the palace and accompany my cousin. When my cousin's health improves, I will go to the barracks. I only now understand my cousin's hard work. The new army was built for me from the beginning."

There are soldiers and generals in hand, and only when you stand up can you be stable, and you have more confidence in acting.

Zhao Xiyan reminded in a low voice, "You have to pay extra attention to a few feudal princes. Such good deeds will be spread out on your head. If it was me, I was not convinced. I must do it in secret, and make a stumbling block for you."

Xu Jing nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on a few of them. As long as they make any changes, I will not be polite to them."

If you want to be a prince, you have to come up with the corresponding ability and means. If you can't even hold back a few vassal princes, don't be a royal brother.

"Go to bed early!" Zhao Xiyan had low energy after pregnancy, and she was sleepy from time to time, so she yawned lightly.

Xu Jing responded, picked up Zhao Xiyan, and gently and carefully put him on the bed.

Early the next morning, before Zhao Xiyan woke up, Xu Jing got up and entered the palace.

The news in the palace spread quickly. The guards who opened the palace gate for Xu Jing were particularly respectful today. The palace attendants I met along the way came up from afar to salute.

Xu Jing's heart was stunned, and his face was silent.

When I arrived outside the Blessing Palace, it coincided with the change of guards.

Murong Shen, the former captain of the Imperial Palace, actually took the initiative to step forward today, smiled and bowed: "The last general has seen the son."

In the past, Captain Murong, who had a cold look on his eyes above the top, seemed to be a different person today, and his whole person put away his sharp thorns, gentle and polite.
