The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Oh yeah, you're paralyzed and don't have the strength to hit, you can bite your tongue!"

Xie Jinbao sneered and said sarcastically, "You don't dare?"

"Then why are you pretending to be hopeless? You take the medicine reluctantly every time and you have to be coaxed by others. Who do you think wants to serve you? If you die, everyone will be at peace and your mother won't have to cry every day."

After being scolded by Xie Jinbao for a long time, Xie Nanan finally calmed down. He said firmly: "I fell off the horse. You arranged it, didn't you?"

Xie Jinbao suddenly laughed out loud: "My dear brother, you finally guessed it was me. All these days, father, mother, and you all thought it was the princess who had it done. What a pity, you guessed wrong, it was me, haha, no one expected it."

Seeing Xie Jinbao succeed in his evil deeds, Xie Nanan broke out in cold sweat. This younger brother still looked like he was when he was a child, dancing with joy after succeeding in doing something bad.

But, those were all bad things done to others. When did his younger brother start targeting him?

"Why, we are brothers from the same mother, why do you want to hurt me?"

Xie Nanan really didn't understand. In the palace, they were both born out of wedlock and were brothers from the same mother. They should have been of the same blood. How could he be betrayed by the person he trusted the most?

"Why?" Xie Jinbao said with a smile: "Brother, you really don't know?"

"You and I are both illegitimate children. Originally, we had no right to be crown princes, but father doted on mother and ignored the princess. Father even abandoned his eldest son to the frontier for seven or eight years. Now, father is about to appoint a crown prince. People in the mansion are saying that father wants to appoint you, my elder brother, as the crown prince. But why? We are both mother's children. Why can't it be me? How am I worse than you? Is it just because I was born later than you?"

Xie Nanan was speechless. He said angrily, "Just because of the position of the crown prince, you want to harm me, your brother from the same mother? Do you know that this is just a rumor? As long as the second brother is alive, he is the legitimate son, and the position of the crown prince will never be mine. You want to kill me because of a rumor. You have such a vicious mind."

"No no no."

Xie Jinbao explained: "This is not a rumor. I asked mother, and she said it herself. Father promised to leave the position of Crown Prince to mother's child. Because father was worried that mother would be tortured by the princess after he passed away, he would leave the position of Crown Prince to you or me."

"As for the second eldest son, if he dies, he will never be able to become the crown prince."

Xie Nanan was surprised and asked, "You and mother are going to kill the second brother?"

"Brother, why are you so surprised? Our mother has been able to stay in the palace for so many years, and has made sure that our father has no other illegitimate sons besides us two brothers. You should understand that there is nothing that mother can't do. The only difference is that if the old princess hadn't protected the second son, he might not have lived to the border."

Xie Nanan was silent. He knew his mother's methods. If his mother really wanted to get rid of the second son, Prince Fenyang might even help her.

"Even so, you can tell me you want to be the crown prince. From childhood to adulthood, I have never given in to you. I don't want to be the crown prince. Why did you paralyze me? Don't you have any brotherhood in your heart?"

"Yes, I never thought of harming you, my good brother. I acted like a spoiled child to mother, saying that I wanted to be the crown prince, but mother loved you more. She actually said that there is order of seniority and that the crown prince can only be you. You see, I can only get rid of you first, otherwise mother will not leave the crown prince position to me."

"you!"

Xie Nanan was so angry at Xie Jinbao's nonchalant tone that he didn't know what to say. No matter how righteous, honest, moral and ethical, they were enough to describe Xie Jinbao's lack of conscience.

"You tell me everything now, aren't you afraid that I will tell my mother?" Xie Nanan asked.

"What's there to be afraid of? You don't have any chance anymore." Xie Jinbao said with a smile.

"Brother, I really don't want to kill you. You see, I only paralyzed you. I thought that if you were paralyzed, the position of the crown prince would be my turn. But mother said that she was worried that you would be looked down upon for the rest of your life, so the position of the crown prince would still be left to you. She also asked me to adopt my future eldest son to you. You see, brother, mother only has you in her heart, so I can only kill you."

"what?!"

Xie Nanan didn't expect that Xie Jinbao would actually do it himself. He was so scared that he wanted to step back, but unfortunately he couldn't move his whole body.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"I have arranged everything. Everyone in your yard is busy with the wedding. The rest are mine. After you die, I will leave a suicide note in your handwriting, saying that you committed suicide. No one will doubt it. After all, you are paralyzed and committed suicide because you couldn't accept your paralysis. There will definitely be people who believe it."

Hearing this, Hua Mian, who was sitting at the window, was so scared that her legs went limp. She knew that she had to leave here quickly and bring people over. Otherwise, if Xie Nanan died, not only would her daughter be a widow, but she would also be accused of bringing bad luck to her husband.

She shook her body and slapped her legs to help them regain strength as quickly as possible. After hearing Xie Nanan's "You dare!", Hua Mian felt that she had to leave.

Carefully parting the dense bushes, Hua Mian suddenly saw a snake, which frightened her so much that she couldn't help but scream.

After screaming, she broke out in a cold sweat. She mustered up all her courage, jumped over the snake, and left without looking back.

In the room, Xie Jinbao was pinching Xie Nanan's neck and feeding him medicine. When he heard a woman's voice suddenly from the back of the room, he knew that everything in the room might have been discovered.

"Go outside and look around. We'll find the person."

At the command, the servant outside ran out quickly. As soon as he ran out of the yard, he saw a girl fleeing in panic.

He quickly followed, but it was too late and it was a busy wedding with people coming and going, so in the end he only saw the girl escape into the bridal chamber.

After entering the bridal chamber, Hua Mian was so frightened that her face turned pale. When someone from Prince Fenyang's Palace saw her, they kindly asked, "Why does the girl look so pale?"

Hua Mian said nervously: "Just now in the toilet, I heard a mouse squeaking, and I was so scared that I almost fell into the toilet. This is why I am still scared."

It was dark now and anything could happen. After hearing this, the maids in Prince Fenyang's mansion smiled at each other and stopped talking.

Meng Wen Yao could feel Hua Mian trembling the whole time. She knew very well that Hua Mian was a brave and careful person and it was impossible for her to be so scared by a mouse. What's more, Hua Mian was not really going to the toilet.

"Hua Mian, what did you hear?" Meng Wen Yao asked in a low voice.

Hua Mian didn't have time to explain in detail, so she only whispered the most important thing to Meng Wenyao: "Miss, the eldest son Xie was paralyzed after falling off his horse. It was the third son Xie who hired someone to do it in order to compete for the position of the crown prince. Now, the third son Xie is trying to kill the eldest son Xie. You should take your people there quickly, or it will be too late."
