Your husband wants to divorce you during pregnancy? It’s up to you!

The prince smiled and said nothing.

The two said goodbye and went back to their respective homes.

Shu Yuwan kept worrying about it until news came from outside that General Cheng Wang Weiwu had been captured, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the prince had come back safe and sound, he hurried forward to greet him: "Ajin, are you okay?"

The prince stepped forward and took Shu Yuwan's hand, helping him walk into the house: "It's cold outside."

"Don't worry, it's okay. Father has already made arrangements."

"Three clans of the Li family were executed, and both the fourth brother and Concubine Shu were sentenced to death."

Shu Yuwan's heart was pounding.

Thinking of something, he asked again: "What about the poison on my father's body?"

The prince replied: "The people Gu sent to Long County sneaked into the fourth brother's house and happened to rescue the wandering doctors who gave the fourth brother poison and brought them back to Shangjing. Gu gave them to his father. Father has obtained the antidote, but his body has been somewhat damaged after taking the poison for such a long time and needs to be recuperated slowly. "

"That's good."

Shu Yuwan remembered that in the previous life, King Cheng was imprisoned for life after seven years. Then a year or two later, the fifth prince who had ascended the throne announced to the public that the third prince had died of illness.

Nowadays, it is impossible to become a king, and there are still King An and the fifth prince.

Thinking about it, Shu Yuwan said again: "I thought there would be many people who came to the East Palace to rob us tonight, but I didn't expect that there would be no chaos. Ajin, do you think those who wanted to rob would be disappointed? The people they arranged , where is it now?”

After hearing this, the prince immediately said: "The palace gate is sealed, and these people can't get out. I'm going to tell my father and let the imperial army investigate."

"I will send you in first."

The prince sent Shu Yuwan back to the house, told the secret guards to protect the prince, and then returned to Chengqian Palace.

...

Concubine Xian had been waiting for news in the palace. When she heard that King Cheng and others had not even entered Chengtian Gate, she angrily cursed "trash!"

"It is in vain that the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, which the Li family has controlled for so many years, is so useless!"

The fifth prince said anxiously: "Mother, my father is fine, let's arrange for the dead men to enter the palace..."

"I originally thought I could take advantage of the chaos to kill the prince, but in the end there was no chaos at all in the palace. The most important thing is that my father is fine at all, so once the dead men we arranged to enter the palace are discovered, they will most likely expose us. "

Concubine Xian waved her hand: "Don't worry, we have only arranged for a dozen people to enter the palace. Moreover, these are all dead soldiers. If they are caught, they will only admit that it was Concubine Shu who instigated and cooperated with the palace changes."

The fifth prince admired: "My mother and concubine are still thoughtful."

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be self-effacing. You are still young and are already very good."

The fifth prince said a few more modest words.

The fake mother and son, who had their own thoughts, went their separate ways.

The prince entered Chengqian Palace, and the emperor was already ready to rest: "Jin'er, why are you here?"

The prince saluted the emperor, and then said: "Father, you will resolve this incident outside Chengqian Gate. I wonder if there may be some people with evil intentions mixed in the palace before they have time to attack."

The emperor nodded: "Don't worry, Jin'er. I know that Concubine Shu has arranged for people to be in the palace to meet Li Jinsheng. I have asked Shao Siyi to lead people to investigate suspicious people in the palace."

"Father is aware of this."

"Jin'er." The emperor called to the prince again, with a shaken look on his face, and hesitantly said: "You said you don't want to have a concubine, and you only want to keep the Shu family alone?"

The prince nodded and said, "Yes."

"Why did my father suddenly ask about this matter?"

The emperor said: "I'm thinking, maybe there's nothing wrong with this."

"Since ancient times, half-brothers have killed each other, often shaking the foundation of the dynasty."

"If I hadn't taken a concubine back then, I wouldn't be facing father and son fighting each other today. You don't have to worry about brothers fighting, and your mother might not have died."

"The ancestors said that branches and leaves should be spread, is that right?"

The emperor thought that he still had several sons. These sons were now safe and sound, and it was impossible for him to kill them. But living was like becoming a king. Maybe one of them would come out sometime!

Looking at his eldest son, Jin'er must have the same concerns as him, and the emperor frowned even deeper.

The prince did not expect to hear such words when he came to the emperor.

After thinking for a while, he comforted: "Father, the king of a country is related to the future of the entire Dajing Dynasty. Naturally, someone who is qualified to be the king is needed. That's why our ancestors advocated spreading the branches and choosing the best successor."

"What you did was not wrong either."
