The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

When Wei Shaoxuan knelt in Liuxiang Palace, his pair of deer eyes looked at Xu Yifei pitifully, "Mother, why do you like to listen to those rumors? They are not true."

Empress Xu ignored him and said angrily, "What's not true? Is it true that you brought more than 20 secret guards to Pei's house in the middle of the night to rescue the beauty? Or is it true that you said that you wanted to make that merchant's daughter your fourth prince's consort?"

Wei Shaoxuan raised his head quickly, "Mother, you know everything? If you know everything, then why are you asking? Okay, I admit that I am interested in her because she is a bit pretty, but that's all. As for the matter of her becoming the Fourth Prince's consort, it is completely false."

Wei Shaoxuan did not say that, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

"Mother knows that you are very smart, but you have to understand that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you choose that woman, your cousin Yunxi will definitely not be happy. You also know her personality. She can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, and she will definitely find ways to get rid of that woman. Even if that woman dies, you can't do anything for her. Because if you want to ascend the throne, you have to rely on your uncle and treat your cousin well."

"If you really just like that woman's looks, you have to give her up for the sake of the greater cause. You know, making your uncle feel at ease and making Yun Xi happy are the most important things."

"You must understand that in our royal family, for that position, it's either you or me. This is not a game. If you don't take that position, given the Fifth Prince's personality, you will still die, along with the woman you love now. Or, that woman will be taken by the Fifth Prince. But if it really comes to that, you will be powerless."

When the Fourth Prince heard this, the playful smile on his face disappeared, "Mother, I understand. I know what to do."

However, the Fourth Prince suddenly knelt down in front of the Queen and begged sincerely, "Mother, I want to beg you, no matter what happens in the future, please don't hurt her. I really like her. But it's just me who likes her, she doesn't like me. In fact, she doesn't even know me very well and can't avoid me."

As he said this, the Fourth Prince gave a bitter smile.

Xu Yefei was stunned when she heard this, but soon she calmed down and said, "Okay, mother promises you."

However, deep down, she was very curious about Jiang Nanqiu.

Who on earth is this person who actually disdains his own precious son?

After leaving the palace, the Fourth Prince immediately went to Zhenbaozhai, the most popular place in the capital for buying and selling rare treasures.

Young women all like to be pretty and like beautiful and fashionable things. The Fourth Prince has all the affection he should have for his cousin, except for the lack of romantic feelings between men and women.

After some introduction from the owner of Zhenbaozhai, he looted all the rare treasures and personally delivered them to Xu's house.

Lord Xu had also heard some rumors, but he did not take them seriously. In his opinion, even if the Fourth Prince only had his daughter for a short time, he would definitely have many women when he became the Crown Prince or even ascended to the supreme throne.

Now, it is not worth it for my daughter to get angry with the Fourth Prince just for a woman.

However, although he understood these things, Xu Yunxi was his own daughter after all, and he always stood on his daughter's side.

Madam Xu was different. Her daughter was her sweetheart. So when she saw her daughter had lost her appetite and become thinner because of the Fourth Prince's love debt, she felt distressed. She spoke to the Fourth Prince in a bad tone, "Yun Xi hasn't eaten well for several days. She just keeps crying. Fourth Prince, you have to comfort her when you go in."

The reason why Madam Xu dared to say this was that if the Fourth Prince wanted to ascend to the supreme position in the future, he had to rely on their Xu family.

A hundred years later, Xu Yunxi's brother will support her. Now, she and her husband naturally have to stand up straight for their daughter.

The Fourth Prince still needs the Xu family, yet he dares to do such a thing. Where does this put their Xu family?

Even if the Fourth Prince said that this matter was completely false, isn't there a saying that goes, there is no smoke without fire?

The Fourth Prince had been coming to the Xu Mansion frequently since he was a child. This time he came to apologize sincerely, so he naturally put on a proper attitude. "Uncle, aunt, it's all my fault. I made my cousin sad. I, Wei Shaoxuan, swear here that my first wife must be my cousin, no one else. If you break this oath, call me..."

The moment Xu Yunxi heard that the Fourth Prince had arrived, she ran out of her boudoir.

Her heart and eyes were filled with the Fourth Prince. Seeing him so exhausted and carrying so many gifts to apologize to her, she felt much less angry. Now, after hearing him swear like that, she couldn't help but run out and directly covered his mouth, "Your Highness, please stop talking. I forgive you. Dad, Mom, have you forgiven the Fourth Prince too?"

Since her daughter had already said all the words, what could Mrs. Xu say? She could only remain silent.

However, Lord Xu had been a man of many years, and after leading the Fourth Prince to the study, he said, "Yun Xi has liked you for a long time. Your wedding next month is inevitable. However, I really want to know whether you are really interested in the daughter of the Jiang family who is related to you..."

The fourth prince shook his head without hesitation, "Don't worry, uncle. I like her only because of her good looks, nothing else. My cousin is the one who grew up with me. I will never forget the friendship between us and your help over the years. No matter what high position I hold in the future, my cousin will always be a very important person in my heart. I will consider her in everything I do."

Xu Ruida originally had some other ideas, such as killing the merchant woman, but then he thought that such things would happen again and again. He could kill one person, but not thousands, so he gave up.

"I hope Your Highness understands the painstaking efforts of your aunt and I. If Yunxi were a man, we would have watched over her every day. But she is a woman, and she will eventually get married and live in another family. From now on, Yunxi will be left to you."

In the following days, the Fourth Prince often visited the Xu Mansion, and Xu Yunxi's cheerful laughter could often be heard inside the Xu Mansion.

Thus, the rumors that the Fourth Prince and Xu Yunxi were not on good terms were dispelled.

Ever since Pei Shao entered the prison again, he felt that something was different from the last time.

He lived in a real prison, and every day he could hear the shrill screams of prisoners in other cells when they were tortured.

Although these sounds were scary, he was not afraid at all.

He was friends with the Fifth Prince. Even if the Fifth Prince punished him last time, it was because he made a mistake.

But this time, he did nothing wrong.

Pei Shao was very confident that he could get out safely.

Pei Shao also said the same thing to the bailiffs on his first day in prison.

Therefore, his life was comfortable. At least, he was the only one in the cell. There were clean and thick bedding, a table and chairs, snacks, tea and rice paper for him to while away his time.

However, he never imagined that ten days later, these punishments would be inflicted on Pei Shao himself.

On the tenth day, when the presiding official asked people to present evidence, Pei Shao still refused to plead guilty.

He always thought that this was just a trick, after all, he was the fifth prince's man. It was just a formality, so he didn't have to plead guilty.

Besides, even if he did do these things, he would never admit it.

Until the yamen runners pulled him to lie on a long bench, with the thin and long stick on his buttocks, Pei Shao shouted again, "I am the fifth prince's man, you can't hit me!"
