Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 159

Not long after Cheng Haitang left, the urgent footsteps of King Xian were heard outside.As soon as he entered the door, he saw the fat boy in Xu Guanping's arms. He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "This is really a great event for our family. I have a eldest son!"

Xu Guanping looked at him, smiled and corrected in a low voice: "Your Highness, I am your eldest son."

King Xian glanced at the princess in confusion, and then glanced at the quiet inner room. He saw the maids and women holding bloody things one by one, silently walking out. He looked at the princess again, and Xu Wanping nodded at him. First, King Xian understood everything.

The smile on his face froze, and he did not enter the back room. He only said in a low voice: "Let me find a place for her to be buried alive. I will report it to the family and raise her as my wife. After all, she is the biological mother of King Xian's eldest son. It’s not good for the son to know the identity of his biological mother in the future and make him lose face.”

Xu Guanping knew as soon as she heard that King Xian had agreed to let her adopt the child, and she quickly blessed him with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, Wanping will treat him as if he were his own son, please rest assured, Your Highness. My son also asked his father to give him a name." "

King Xian said meaningfully: "You are the mother's concubine, so you can call her by a random name first. The name of the emperor's eldest grandson needs to be written and can only be given by the emperor himself."

"Eldest grandson of the emperor!" Xu Guanping was startled, and couldn't help but said, "But the second prince has already dug his own grave and will never come back. Xie Pingkun, the eldest grandson of the emperor, does not pose any threat to our son. he wants too"

King Xian snorted and said disdainfully:

"You are really kind to a woman! Xie Ruiji is mediocre and ridiculous. Just because he is the eldest son, he has occupied the position of prince for many years. If his broken sleeves were not easily exposed, maybe he would have been allowed to inherit the throne in the end. Now my father The emperor is confused and only listens to the slanderous words of his close associates. The power lies in the hands of the internal ministers. I am afraid that those without roots will hold Xie Pingkun hostage to make an issue, and then we will lose more than we gain. Even though he is a child, keeping him will be a disaster after all. "

After hearing King Xian's words, Xu Wanping was so angry that he didn't dare to speak out. He just stared blankly at the fat son in his arms.The emperor's grandson really exchanged one life for another.

King Xian glanced at his sleeping son again. Although he felt that he was a little fat and annoying, after all, he was the bargaining chip that he had been waiting for. With him, he would not be far away from the position of prince.So King Xian said to the two wet nurses standing behind him with a happy face: "Take good care of the eldest son, I will not treat you badly."

He glanced at the bead curtain hanging quietly on the moon door again, sighed, turned around and strode out.

Cheng Xiangjin's face was a little blurry in King Xian's memory. Looking back, all he remembered was her big belly.It seems that she still has a pair of seductive fox eyes, and there is always a floral fragrance on her body that makes him fascinated. How long ago did this happen?King Xian smiled and shook his head, getting rid of these images forever.

Cheng Xiangjin finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish and became the wife of Prince Xian.Cheng Haitang had already proposed marriage. If Cheng Xiangjin hadn't passed away, the clan's mansion would never have allowed Princess Duan's concubine to be included in the royal palace.

Satisfied, Princess Xu returned to the main room with her maid, nanny, and child in her arms.She was afraid of giving birth to a daughter before, but now that she got her wish, Xu Wanping felt that she was a little closer to her dream of being a queen.

Cheng Xiangjin's abdomen was cut open, and she died long ago, lying alone on the bed in the back room.Wen Po had already wrapped her up indiscriminately with a quilt soaked in her blood.The princess said, take it out and burn it directly, so as not to leave a clue. As for the coffin, just put two pieces of clothes that you usually wear, no one will care.Cheng Xiangjin, who didn't have a child in her stomach, was so thin and small. If she didn't pay attention, she couldn't see that there was another person under the quilt on the bed.

Cao'er and Rui'er had already been called out by Xianyun.Princess Xu hated them for daring to go out of the mansion privately to invite Miss Cheng, so she immediately asked Xianyun to call for Yazi. With only a few taels of silver, she sold the two frightened girls to a flower house, and they were never seen again. Pass them.

The summer sunshine shone in Prince Xian's Mansion, and Zhizhi was silent for a while and then started to make noise again.The house was quickly cleaned inside and outside, and the housekeeper ordered people to change the furniture and furnishings. She also specially lit incense, locked the courtyard door, and left.It seems that there has never been a concubine named Cheng Xiangjin living here.

All this was seen by the women in the backyard.In addition to being jealous at first that Princess Xu had picked up a son in vain, she also felt frightened when she thought about it.

Lin Yueru held her belly tightly, not daring to speculate on the fate of herself and her baby. For the first time, she had the idea of ​​​​escape from this place.This is not a place for people. Some people will take away your favor, and some people will take away your life!

Haitang came out of Prince Xian's mansion and saw Xie Ruitang hurriedly riding on horseback. As he approached, he quickly dismounted, threw away the reins, stepped in front of Haitang, and looked at her face with concern.Xie Ruitang didn't say anything, helped Haitang get on the carriage, followed in, held her hand, and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you scared by them?"

Haitang shook her head and rested her head on his shoulder.After a while, Haitang came back to her senses. "I gave birth to a eldest son," Haitang said softly, "Xiang Jin. I guess she died due to dystocia." She didn't want to mention caesarean section to remove the baby, as she didn't know what kind of lawsuits might arise.

Xie Ruitang tightened Haitang's hand and gently rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand.In the silence, he suddenly thought of a question and said in a deep voice: "Xie Ruitu has won his son. According to his style, Xie Pingkun will be in danger!"

"Why? Is it because Kun'er is the emperor's eldest grandson? But the name of the emperor's eldest grandson is not of much use, so what threat does it pose to King Xian's son?" Haitang asked in confusion.

Xie Ruitan smiled at her: "This is not a matter of threats, but a matter of balance of power. He cannot let others threaten him with Xie Pingkun."

Although Haitang didn't quite understand, thinking about Xie Pingkun, she hurriedly pushed Xie Ruitang out of the carriage: "Then you have to inform Mr. Shen quickly. You can't have one enter the gate of hell and the other follow him!"

Haitang suddenly remembered the conclusion he had just reached in the past two days, and quickly said one more important thing: "Ruitang, Concubine Ji's pills are made of human blood. You have to check it out!" Human blood?Xie Ruitang was surprised.

"Understood. You go home carefully, and I will talk to you in the evening." Xie Ruitang bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly: "After the wedding, we can be together every day in a fair and honest manner. For my sake, you have to take care of yourself too.”

Seeing Haitang nodding obediently, he let go of his hand, touched her cheek with nostalgia, got off the car and mounted his horse to go to Shen's house.
