Chapter 209: Rebirth
A moment later, the queen lamented.
"Girl, it's not that I don't want you to see the prince, it's just that after he was born, he was separated from my mother and son."
"The husband is more than thirty years old, and his lifespan is only a few years, he is the crown prince, and he must grow up as soon as possible to be able to afford the great responsibility of the Chu State."
"Yes, my son is busy every day, I'm afraid that if we go, we will be in vain."
As she spoke, the queen smiled embarrassedly at Shen Ping'an.
Shen Ping'an still didn't see the prince in the end, but she was a little puzzled, the prince was only ten years old at most, how could he take on the big responsibility?
Put it outside, it's still a milk doll!
But she can afford to wait, the monarch of Chu has only a few years to live, and as soon as the monarch of Chu dies, the crown prince will definitely succeed to the throne, and then she will naturally be able to meet this genius prince.
It's just that Shen Ping'an didn't expect that the monarch of Chu State would die so quickly.
The thirty-three-year-old birthday banquet of the monarch of Chu was grand, after all, people of his age should really live one day less than one day.
And such a grand event is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country celebrates.
The monarch of Chu died in his bed the day after his thirty-third birthday.
The queen leaned on Shen Ping'an's shoulder, she had already fainted from crying once, and now she was crying bitterly again after waking up.
The monarch of Chu is a national army that works hard, and the whole country of Chu loves him very much.
Shen Ping'an also saw the prince who had been taken away since he was born.
The crown prince was very thin, his face was slightly pale, and he looked like he was carved out of the same mold as the monarch of Chu.
The ten-year-old prince looked like a normal child, but he was able to handle his father's funeral on his own.
Shen Ping'an always had a strange feeling when he looked at him commanding the palace people with ease, and settling down the crying queen who couldn't take care of herself.
It's so similar.
He seems to have experienced this scene countless times, and he doesn't have the jerky feeling of getting started for the first time.
Even the prince's expression did not look like an ordinary child, but was very similar to the monarch of Chu.
The monarch of Chu passed away, but the folds could not be unreviewed.
The prince dealt with funerals during the day, and when he kept a wake at night, he used the candlelight to review the recitals.
He bowed his head slightly, his expression serious.
Shen Ping'an entered the door at this time.
"No wonder you didn't ask me to see the prince."
She sat down across from the prince and looked at him.
The prince raised his head and looked at Shen Ping'an with a pair of dark eyes.
There is no innocence in these eyes, only the composure and calmness that does not belong to this age.
"When did Miss Shen find out?"
Since it was exposed, the prince didn't pretend anymore, but just slowly put away the folds and looked at Shen Ping'an.
His expression was exactly the same as that of the monarch of Chu State.
"With the resurrection of his son's body, the lord of the country is really calculating, but I don't know if your beloved queen knows?"
No wonder after the queen gave birth to the crown prince, the monarch of Chu took the prince away and separated the queen and their mother and son.
It turned out that I had this kind of thought.
Because the queen has not been in contact with the prince since she gave birth to the prince, the queen will naturally not be suspicious of the prince's abnormal behavior.
Even if the queen has doubts, now that the queen is thirty-one years old and can live for four years at most, the prince's body is in the prime of life, and it is a big deal to survive the queen.
The crown prince smiled, "The queen naturally doesn't know, Miss Shen, everyone wants to pursue immortality, are you willing to die at the age of thirty-five?" ”
Of course Shen Ping'an was unwilling.
But she also doesn't base her life on taking the lives of others.
Because Shen Hengkong doesn't like it.
"Tiger poison does not eat children, the prince is your biological son, you are so ruthless."
Shen Ping'an lowered his eyes.
"Heh, Miss Shen, I gave him his life, and now I ask him to sacrifice for me, why not?"
"He is my own son, he should sacrifice for me and dedicate himself to me!"
"If it weren't for me, he wouldn't even have ten years to live!"
The monarch of Chu State smiled and mocked.
Since the prince was born, he has been raised in the palace, under the care of several dumb mothers in their twenties who are illiterate, and when the prince is ten years old, these grandmothers have also reached the age of their last few years.
The grandmothers will naturally die of old age, and the secret about the prince will be buried for the rest of their lives.
In the first ten years of the prince's life, all he saw was the boxy sky within the palace walls, no one raised him, no one loved him, only his grandmother silently sent him food to ensure that he could live.
He couldn't leave his bedchamber, alone, day after day, for ten years, until his father died, and with him—
He hadn't even seen the world beyond the palace walls.
"The prince is also a living person, and he is also an independent individual, even if you are the biological father of the prince, you are not worthy of deciding the life and death of the prince like this."
"Besides, I've heard you're an infatuated person, and now it seems that you are nothing more than that."
"You are not worthy of being so cruel to a child born to a loved one."
Mortals don't have the ability to die and be reborn, after all, they are just mortals.
And the monarch of Chu State can be reborn after death through the body of the prince, which must be relied on.
Hearing Shen Ping'an say this, the monarch of Chu suddenly turned red.
He glared at Shen Ping'an, "I love her because I want to stay with her for a long time!" ”
"People like you who haven't had a lover won't understand!"
"Only in this way can I stay with her for a long time, be together for the rest of my life, and no one in this world loves her more than me!"
Looks?
Shen Ping'an keenly captured these words.
But the queen is thirty-one years old and can't live for a few years, and although the king of Chu has taken away the crown prince, he can't join hands with the queen for many years.
He might even have to see off the queen herself.
How did he stay with the queen?
"The queen will not live for four years at most, is this what the lord wants to be like her?"
Shen Ping'an looked at the monarch of Chu and took his words without a trace.
The monarch of Chu suddenly became vigilant and refused to say a word more.
It's weird.
He refused to say it, and Shen Ping'an couldn't pry his mouth open, not to mention, what Shen Ping'an cared more about was the breath of Shen Hengkong on the monarch of Chu State.
This breath used to be on the monarch of the Chu State, and when the monarch of the Chu State died, this breath came to the crown prince again.
Shen Ping'an speculated that this breath should be related to the soul of the monarch of Chu State, not the body.
Her hands were itchy, and she had an urge to search her soul directly.
But before Shen Ping'an could make a move, Wang came later.
The queen has cried and fainted several times, and now she is even weaker and weaker.
She was cloaked in a robe, her eyes were red, and she looked very pitiful.
Seeing that the king was coming, the monarch of Chu State hurriedly got up to support her, but he called "mother".
