Quick travel: I rely on the childbirth system to pamper my harem

Feng Qingning asked: "Emperor?"

Xie Changyan thought she was smart and nodded slightly.

"He knew that I was ill and not qualified to inherit the throne, so he was confident in handing over the power to me. If I were a normal person, he would never have entrusted me with such an important task."

Feng Qingning was puzzled.

Obviously, none of the Xu family knew that Xie Changyan was ill, so why did he tell the emperor?

Is it to gain trust?

"Don't you want to be emperor?" Feng Qingning asked seriously.

There are very few princes who are not interested in that position, because it is only one step away from being above everyone else.

Xie Changyan closed his eyes and did not answer Feng Qingning's question.

Feng Qingning seemed to understand something, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Is it...

"master!"

Shuanghan's voice interrupted Feng Qingning's thoughts. When she came to her senses, she saw Shuanghan carrying two people towards her.

One is Xu Ruihe and the other is Xu Changqing.

Both brothers looked in a very disheveled state, with bruises and purple marks on their hands, and their clothes were in disarray, looking like people who had been tortured for a long time.

Xu Changqing still had a smile on his face: "It seems that what I thought was right, this lady is the sweetheart of the Ninth Prince?"

Feng Qingning raised his eyebrows and glanced across Xu Changqing's face.

"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me?"

"I hope Madam Feng will forgive me. I was so anxious because I couldn't find my brother that I had to resort to this last resort." Xu Changqing lowered his eyes, "Although my brother is useless, we are brothers after all, so..."

Suddenly, Xie Changyan stood up and glanced at Xu Changqing coldly.

Shuanghan understood what he meant and removed Xu Changqing's arm with one palm.

Xu Changqing screamed in pain, but soon forced a smile and said with pain: "Ninth Prince, please calm down. I will never act on my own again."

This person is really amazing.

Be able to be so patient.

"I've said before that I won't have anything to do with the Xu family. If you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Xie Changyan stood in front of Xu Changqing, his body straight.

He didn't even glance at the servile Xu Changqing out of the corner of his eye.

It was as if he was born to be a king.

Xu Changqing smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Ninth Prince, do you think that if you unilaterally draw a line between you and the Xu family, the emperor will be able to eliminate his doubts? You are wrong, absolutely wrong!"

"Our emperor is already very suspicious, and now he is even more seriously ill. Everyone he sees is a sinner, especially the noble families. Although you, the Ninth Prince, are in a high position and hold great power, he is still wary of you."

"Do you think he gave you power because he trusted you? No, he just wanted to use you to balance the power of the noble families. You are just a pawn in the hands of the emperor."

Xu Changqing continued, "Ninth Prince, our Xu family is sincerely doing this for your own good. Why don't you cooperate with us? As long as you get that position..."

Xie Changyan's eyes were calm, without any ripples.

"He treated me as a chess piece, and so did you. It was your Xu family who took the initiative to let me go as a hostage. In your eyes, I was just a discarded pawn."

A hint of surprise flashed across Feng Qingning's eyes.

Xie Changyan is a prince. Why would the Xu family take the initiative to let him be a hostage?

But looking at Xu Changqing's guilty expression, this statement is not false.

"It turns out that the Ninth Prince still holds a grudge against what happened back then." Xu Changqing smiled awkwardly, "But under the circumstances back then, this was the only way to make the Emperor trust the Xu family forever."

"Heh." Xie Changyan laughed coldly, "So, are you trusted?"

Xu Changqing's flawless smile cracked.

He was silent for a while and then said, "No matter what, we are on your side, because you are the only one we have. We have no other choice. Please trust us again, how about that?"

"No matter what, get out."

Xie Changyan extended his hand towards Feng Qingning.

Feng Qingning hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. She put her hand in his palm, and the two quickly left the cave.

Others were also brought out.

As soon as they came out, Xie Changyan let go of her hand: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Why?" Feng Qingning had too many doubts in her mind. As a human being, she was still curious about this matter.

Seeing that she wanted to know, Xie Changyan did not hide it.

As he walked forward, he said, "Back then, the royal family was unstable and foreign enemies were invading. The noble families wanted to send the prince as a hostage. In order to become the first among the noble families and gain the trust of the emperor, the Xu family asked the virtuous concubine to send the first son away on their own initiative."

"Even if they knew, this offspring would be either dead or injured if he went out."

Feng Qingning still felt something was not right.

No matter how important the emperor's trust is, it is not as important as that of a prince. No one will send a prince who may inherit the throne to his death.

"Is there any other reason?"

He said he was abandoned.

It only means that there are other chess pieces.

"Yes." Xie Changyan smiled faintly, acting extremely unconcerned, "My mother is pregnant, and the imperial physician diagnosed that it's a boy."

That's why he decisively abandoned Xie Changyan.

Feng Qingning's heart ached.

It is no wonder that Xie Changyan is so hostile to his mother's family. He doesn't even call her mother, but calls her "Empress Xianfei".

But the people of the aristocratic families are really cruel.

"It's a pity that the child was not saved, so I turned to you?" Feng Qingning completed what he had not finished saying.

Xie Changyan stared at her.

He suddenly reached out and tightly grasped her wrist, and asked nervously, "Will you treat me like a discarded pawn like they did?"

Feng Qingning pursed her lips.

"will not."

If there is no benefit, there is no such thing as abandoning the child.

Xie Changyan curled his lips: "Feng Qingning, you teased me, so you will be responsible for me from now on, how about that?"

Feng Qingning was dazzled by his smile and almost agreed.

The next moment he came to his senses.

After thinking for a while, she immediately said, "Young Master, if you want me to take responsibility, you have to work hard. Otherwise, what we have now may not be enough."

Hearing this, Xie Changyan reached out and held her in his arms.

An embrace without lust.

Feng Qingning originally wanted to push him away, but his movements were too cautious, and he was obviously afraid of being rejected.

Thinking of what he had just said, Feng Qingning felt quite sorry for him.

He reached out his hand and patted Xie Changyan on the back: "Okay, young master, you are an adult now, with great power, no one dares to bully you anymore."

Not far behind, Xu Ruihe saw this scene and jumped in anger.

"Just by looking at him, I know these two have a close relationship. Otherwise, how could they hug each other?"

Xu Changqing glared at him: "I told you not to offend him, why do you insist on going down a path of no return?"

"Brother, you have the nerve to say that. I didn't offend Xie Changyan. He put me in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave as a joke and didn't really hurt me. But you..."

Xu Ruihe glanced at Xu Changqing with disdain.

"You seem to be quite smart on weekdays, but how come you become so stupid when it comes to serious matters? You broke your hand."

Xu Changqing said with a fake smile: "You will have a hard time when you get home."
