Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 497 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (34)

"It's the queen."

"It was the Empress who ordered the servants to give the Crown Princess a drug to induce miscarriage."

"If I refuse to do this, the Empress will kill my entire family."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Once subjected to torture, she confessed to everything. The emperor glared angrily at the empress beside him, grabbed a wine cup from the table, and smashed it at her.

"Vicious woman!"

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" The Empress fell to her knees with a thud, her hair disheveled.

At this moment, Zhao Heng stood up and sneered, "Injustice? Why would your dowry maid know the formula for the poison that caused me to lose my offspring back then?"

In order to save the lives of her offspring, the nanny by the Empress's side confessed everything.

"Your Majesty, please understand!" The Empress, as if her tail had been stepped on, hurriedly crawled to the Emperor's feet.

"They were clearly bribed by the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess has long disliked me and deliberately framed me."

"Besides, she wasn't poisoned at all, so how could she know that it was I who wanted to harm her?"

"You poisonous woman, still trying to argue!" The emperor threw the case file evidence at the empress's face, which recorded the "good deeds" committed by the empress and her family.

He was so angry that his imperial robes trembled. "Issue the decree!"

"The Cui family plotted to harm the imperial heir; their crime is unforgivable. They are hereby given poison!"

He then turned to look at Zhao Qiyu, whose face was ashen, and his disgust grew even stronger. "Fourth Prince Zhao Qiyu is vicious and cruel to his elder brother. He is not worthy of being a prince. From this day forward, he shall be demoted to a commoner and banished from the palace!"

The Empress kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, still struggling in her death throes.

"That was because I was bewitched, I deserve to die, but Qi Yu is your son, please spare him, none of this has anything to do with him."

"shut up!"

"Drag them all out!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he suddenly collapsed to the ground in a daze, and another wave of chaos ensued.

Once Shen Shuyi and Zhao Heng confirmed that the Emperor's condition had stabilized somewhat, they returned to the Eastern Palace. On the way back, Zhao Heng held her hand tightly the entire time, as if afraid something might happen to her.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine." She leaned against Zhao Heng's arm.

Zhao Heng's icy gaze began to melt upon hearing her voice, and a wave of fear washed over him.

"If it's not detected, it means you've been poisoned."

"Don't worry, I can cure even if you're poisoned."

"I don't want you to be in the slightest danger." Zhao Heng gripped her hand tightly. "Not even a little bit."

Shen Shuyi felt a surge of relief. Fortunately, she hadn't tested the poison on herself back then. Perhaps she could have trusted him more and believed that he could solve the problem.

I believe he can protect his wife and children.

At the same time, Zhao Qiyu, who had been kneeling on the ground, was escorted away by guards with bloodshot eyes.

Before leaving the palace, Zhao Qiyu saw Zhao Heng and Shen Shuyi. He desperately broke free and rushed towards Zhao Heng, but before he could get close, He Ya severed his Achilles tendon with a sword and made him kneel on the ground.

"Why!"

"Why are you the Crown Prince, while I can only ever look up to you?" Zhao Qiyu cried out in anguish, gritting his teeth as he asked the question that had tormented him for so long.

He muttered to himself, "I was really excited to hear that you were poisoned and had no offspring, thinking that my chance had come."

"But in the end, I was just a clown."

Zhao Heng's calm gaze fell on him. "He reaped what he sowed; he has no one to blame but himself."

"Take him away."

Shen Shuyi glanced at him indifferently. Someone as proud and arrogant as Zhao Qiyu wouldn't live long after falling from a high place, even if he wasn't killed. He would be worse off than dead.

[Host, now all of the original owner's last wishes have been fulfilled.]
Shen Shuyi asked, "How is Shen Qingyi doing?"

[She was killed by the Empress's men as soon as she left Chang'an. How could the Empress allow Shen Qingyi to harass her own son?]
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything and returned to the East Palace with Zhao Heng for their New Year's Eve dinner. Neither of them had eaten at the palace banquet; back at the East Palace, they just wanted to have a quiet meal together.

Red lanterns were hung all over the East Palace, making it look extremely festive.

When Shen Shuyi was having her meal, she looked up and saw a handsome man across from her serving her food.

Zhao Heng felt her gaze, looked up at her, and asked with a light laugh, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shuyi shook her head.

Zhao Heng noticed a stray strand of hair falling from her temple. He reached out and tucked it behind her ear, his fingers touching his wife's soft cheek.

At night, the two slept in each other's arms. Shen Shuyi leaned against Zhao Heng's broad and warm chest, her waist gently embraced by his warm hands.

In the depths of winter, having a heater in your bed is quite nice.

Zhao Heng was afraid that she was uncomfortable, so he only pressed his lips against hers gently, his thin lips also touching her hair, his eyes full of love and tenderness.

The person in his arms stirred; she wasn't asleep yet. Zhao Heng kissed the top of her head and whispered, "Shuyi, you love me, don't you?"

You will never leave me.

Shen Shuyi didn't know why he suddenly felt insecure, so she cupped his face and said earnestly, "Of course, Zhao Yanzhi, I came for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng was even more delighted and happier than if he had been crowned the crown prince.

"Yiyi, I love you." Zhao Heng lowered his head and kissed her lips.

In the candlelight, the man's face was as handsome as jade. He gently stroked her long hair, his voice suddenly becoming even more husky as he leaned closer to her, "Shuyi, can't you sleep?"

"I'll help you, so you can fall asleep when you're tired."

Faced with his meaningful gaze, Shen Shuyi's face flushed, and the heat quickly spread throughout her body.

Zhao Heng was very restrained and gentle, his slender fingers lingering under her skirt, bewitching the beauty in his arms.

"Relax, I know what I'm doing." This was his beloved Crown Princess, who was carrying his child. How could he not be gentle and restrained?

……

……

Time flies, and as she was about to give birth, Shen Shuyi, as usual, took a walk in the garden after Zhao Heng went to the morning court, supporting her increasingly heavy belly.

Green Willow carefully held her hand and pointed to the blooming lotus flowers in the courtyard, "Your Highness, look, these lotus flowers are blooming so beautifully."

Shen Shuyi followed the gaze and saw a handsome man walking from the corridor.

She was pleasantly surprised. "Your Highness, why are you back?"

Logically speaking, the morning court session shouldn't be over yet.

Zhao Heng looked up and saw his wife, who was wearing a light purple dress. He quickly went over to take over from Lvwu and personally helped Shen Shuyi for a walk.

"When Father learned that you were about to give birth, he specially granted me permission to skip the morning court session for any unnecessary matters during this period, and I can handle official business at the Eastern Palace."

Shen Shuyi smiled and agreed. Even though she had painless childbirth pills, she still hoped that her husband could be by her side, which would make her feel more at ease.

The two walked in the garden for a while when Shen Shuyi suddenly clutched her stomach, looked up at Zhao Heng, and said, "Yanzhi, I... I think I'm going into labor."

Zhao Heng was shocked. The imperial physician said that the twins might be born early, but he was still very nervous at this moment. The man quickly calmed down and signaled to Luwu and the others to prepare.

"Shuyi, don't be afraid, I'll take you to the delivery room right away." The Crown Prince's Palace had prepared a room for childbirth well in advance. It was fully equipped with everything and had several midwives, all of whom were very experienced. In addition, the imperial physician was also waiting outside.

Shen Shuyi was picked up by him. The man walked steadily, and she was in the mood to joke, "Luckily, Your Highness is skilled in both literature and martial arts, otherwise I would have had to be carried over."

In the delivery room, Shen Shuyi lay down and said, "His Highness will be waiting for me outside the door in a while. It will make me even more nervous if you watch me from the side."

She held Zhao Heng's hand tightly, "I'll call you if I need anything."

The two had already discussed this matter, so Zhao Heng had no choice but to agree, "Okay."
