"Father, please take pity on me. I have been here for so many years, but I have never had an heir in the back house. Not only are I afraid, but everyone in the house is also panic-stricken."

"Father, I have nothing else to ask of you. I just hope that for the sake of your child, you will bypass Rong Jiao once."

When thinking of Rong Jiao, a flash of anger flashed in Xuanyuan Jin's eyes.

He just felt that what he did today was not wrong, it was Rong Jiao who was wrong.

If Rong Jiao hadn't been arrogant and domineering in the house all day long and ordered people to attack Xuanyuan Jin's heirs, how could Xuanyuan Jin let him go?

Such great hatred should be avenged by oneself.

The emperor remained silent. Seeing his eighth son's face, he felt that Xuanyuan Jin was crying and was not faking it.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, he always thought that Xuanyuan Jin had no other intentions for Rong Jiao, but who would have thought that Xuanyuan Jin was so infatuated.

Xuanyuan Jin did not speak, but completely prostrated his body on the ground.

"Please, father, give your son a way to live."

The emperor originally looked indifferent, but now after hearing these words, the emperor's face suddenly darkened.

He never expected that the emperor could be so cruel to Rong Jiao.

If it were the previous emperor, she might not be so worried.

After all, the previous emperor wanted a reputation for benevolence. As long as he mentioned this reputation, the emperor would definitely compromise.

But over the past few days, the emperor had obviously changed and became fearful to them.

The ministers all said that this was the true appearance of his father, and Xuanyuan Jin naturally understood what the minister meant.

His father was the one who started the army, but it was already very rare for him to finally take this position.

It is precisely because of this that his emperor father likes to listen to the praise and praise of those rotten scholars.

Thinking of the past days, Xuanyuan Jin only felt that he could easily capture that position.

But when he saw Rong Jiao being demoted time and time again, and the imperial grandmother and father favoring the prince, Xuanyuan Jin knew in his heart that there was no family affection in the eyes of the emperor.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jin could not help but close his eyes carefully.

He was lying on the ground and did not get up, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"How did you know that Rong Jiao was pregnant?"

Now Rong Jiao is still in the prison in the palace, and Xuanyuan Jin cannot enter such a place.

But how did he know that Rong Jiao was pregnant?

Xuanyuan Jin was stunned for a moment, realizing that the emperor was suspicious of him, and Xuanyuan Jin quickly explained.

"Father has misunderstood. Since Rong Jiao was arrested, I have not visited her."

"The reason why I knew she was pregnant was because the maid who used to serve Rong Jiao mentioned it. Er Lin only found out about it."

Seeing that what he said was reasonable, the emperor couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"Do you really not know that Rong Jiao would poison your concubine?"

When Xuanyuan Jin heard this, his heart lurched.

Xuanyuan Jin came back to his senses and said quickly: "Father, my son and I don't know about this. If we knew, how could we let her harm others again?"

The emperor remembered what the guards had reported before, and nodded, believing Xuanyuan Jin's words.

Xuanyuan Jin didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he thought that the emperor wouldn't point the finger at him by talking about this matter, right?

After all, there were indeed some secrets between him and Rong Jiao.

But thinking that the emperor was very suspicious of him now, Xuanyuan Jin was silent for a moment and then closed his eyes.

"Father, I swear to God that I didn't know about poisoning Ningsi beforehand."

Seeing this, the emperor nodded.

"I'll take care of you for a moment."

When Xuanyuan Jin heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Father."

"As for Rong Jiao's matter..."

When Xuanyuan Jin heard the emperor mentioning Rong Jiao, his heart that had just dropped was lifted again.

"Rong Jiao can follow you back, but..."

Xuanyuan Jin was naturally happy when he heard that Rong Jiao could follow him back to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

I even thought about how to take good care of Rong Jiao in the future.

But after hearing the emperor's turn, Xuanyuan Jin swallowed again, worried that the emperor would say something he shouldn't have said.

However, Xuanyuan Jin quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that the emperor had nothing to embarrass him during this period.

"Father, I will definitely take good care of Rong Jiao and will not let her do harm to others again."

The emperor saw Xuanyuan Jin's eyes begging and guessed how much he valued the child in Rong Jiao's belly.

Although he wished he could kill Rong Jiao now, the second time Rong Jiao poisoned Sun Ningsi was not what it seemed.

That girl from the Sun family may not be clean either...

"In that case, I will write an imperial edict to you."

"If Rong Jiao makes another mistake in the future, even if she has an heir, I will not tolerate her!"

Xuanyuan Jin didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Thinking that Rong Jiao could return to the Eighth Prince's Mansion and that his child was about to be born, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't control the excitement in her heart.

"Thank you, father. Thank you, father. I will definitely send someone to take a good look at Rong Jiao."

Seeing this, the emperor raised his hand and signaled Xuanyuan Jin to go out.

Xuanyuan Jin bowed to the emperor and then left in a hurry.

Looking at Xuanyuan Jin's leaving figure, the emperor narrowed his eyes.

"Did Sima Lian send the people back?"

As the emperor's voice fell, a secret guard suddenly appeared in the hall.

"Back to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Sima is now asking someone to protect Rong Jiao's fetus."

"Who did you invite?"

"It's the doctor from Jishi Hall."

The emperor nodded, said no more words, and put down the memorial in his hand.

Seeing this, the secret guard withdrew from the door.

Liao Cheng was shocked when he heard this.

Isn't this Rong Jiao locked up? How can I protect my miscarriage in Sima Mansion?

Moreover, Mrs. Sima and Rong Jiao are enemies. How could she agree to enter the Sima Mansion?

Not only that, but there was also Prime Minister Sima. How could he protect Rong Jiao's pregnancy?

Each of these things made Liao Cheng feel a little confused.

But thinking about what happened during this period, Liao Cheng probably guessed something.

He glanced at the emperor subconsciously and lowered his head hastily.

During this period of time, he thought that the emperor was not that concerned about matters in the court. Unexpectedly, everything in the court was actually under the control of the emperor.

Thinking of this, Liao Cheng sighed secretly and reminded himself silently.

You must always be vigilant and don't let the emperor misunderstand, otherwise you won't know how he died in the future.

After Xuanyuan Jin left the palace, he did not return to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, but headed towards Sima's Mansion.

When Sima Lian learned that Xuanyuan Jin had come to Sima Mansion openly, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly went out to greet him in person.

When he saw Xuanyuan Jin, Sima quickly stepped forward and saluted.
