Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Lu Anyuan's expression changed several times. He seemed pleased, grateful, and relieved. However, he did not show the anger and rage that Xu Yixing had imagined as a son after learning what he had done to the late emperor.

"Did you catch him?" Xu Yixing asked tentatively.

"Humph. He knows how to hide and ran to Shen Yue. Shen Yue is so arrogant that he claims to be a teacher who teaches and educates people. He even dares to take in such a traitorous criminal. How bold."

Xu Yixing took a deep breath. Chao Jianyi was really good at hiding. Shen Yue's place was really a high-risk place. He was very skilled and daring. "Then..."

"Why, are you afraid that I will catch him and kill him?" Lu Anyuan suddenly moved close to Xu Yixing's face, which frightened her. She instinctively wanted to hide, but she held back. Lu Anyuan was a little crazy now, who knew if hiding this time would provoke him again.

"Just kill him. After all, he failed to treat the late emperor. It's not unfair." Xu Yixing said calmly. She felt that Lu Anyuan seemed to have no idea what she had done, or he did not get any information from Imperial Physician Chao and his uncle.

Lu Anyuan's eyes were filled with admiration, and he paused his lips only half an inch away from her, as if he was playing with her: "So it wasn't you who ordered him to harm my father, but he acted on his own initiative?"

"What harm do you mean? I just asked him to take good care of the late emperor's body and help me keep an eye on the late emperor's condition if it is convenient. That's all." Xu Yixing imitated Lu Anyuan and raised his face. The two of them were now facing each other as if looking in the mirror, and neither of them was willing to give in first.

"You are going to behead yourself for spying on the emperor." Lu Anyuan did not expose the truth. To be honest, the only thing he could be sure of was that Chao Jianyi had embellished his father's pulse diagnosis. As for other acts of poisoning or regicide, he had no evidence. But after seeing Yixing's explanation today, he had already understood about 70% of it in his heart. The death of the late emperor must be related to her!

She wanted to kill the late emperor. Lu Anyuan could not think of any other reason except to clear the way for her to ascend the throne. It was a pity that the two of them hid their thoughts from each other. This was probably the fundamental reason why the late emperor died earlier than he had planned.

"What's the joy of living? What's the fear of death? As long as you can ascend to the throne, what regrets will I have even if I die?"

"You are so eloquent and convincing. If you are not afraid of death, why did you flee on the day of the late emperor's death? It is obvious that your excuse is untenable."

Lu Anyuan exposed this lie, and Xu Yixing blushed and revealed it first. He lowered his head and smiled: "Actually, if I tell the truth, I'm afraid you won't believe it. I just don't like your royal family life. Not only the royal family, I've seen enough of those wealthy families in Beijing. If I have to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life, I don't want to."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lu Anyuan frowned. She had never told him her feelings before. Instead, every time he got closer to the throne, she became more encouraged and happy, which made him think that she liked that position as well.

"What's the point of telling you? It will only add to your troubles." Lu Anyuan was a prince, destined to either advance or regress. If it had been a few years earlier, when he had not yet made his mark and had not fallen out with the Second Prince because of marrying me, perhaps he would have had a chance to exchange for a secure position as a prince in the party struggle, but it was too late.

Lu Anyuan wanted to argue, but found that he had nothing to say. This was the fact. When he fell in love with Xu Yixing, he was not strong enough. When he saw her again, he had already been involved in the fight for the throne, and it was too late to retreat. So he suddenly understood Yixing a little. He wondered what kind of entanglement she had in her heart during those years when she borrowed the power of the Xu family to help him and cooperated with him to eliminate political enemies?

"Actually, you can tell me. I may not be able to solve your troubles, but I will definitely accompany you to dispel those emotions."

Xu Yixing looked at him as if he were a fool: "If the problem is not solved, even if the emotions are suppressed for a while, won't they come back again?"

"So, if you don't participate in any struggle, you are still willing to come back to me?"

Xu Yixing heard Lu Anyuan's voice suddenly increase in pitch, but when he looked carefully, he found that his expression had not changed. For a moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. Why was he so excited?

"I don't dare to hope for that. You are the emperor. Even if you want to stay away from disputes, troubles will come to you. I never make meaningless assumptions."

When Lu Anyuan heard this, he was like a puppet whose strings were suddenly pulled. He suddenly left his seat, leaned towards the outer hall and looked around, then turned back and whispered in Yixing's ear: "I understand. I can let bygones be bygones. From now on... you should stay with me, Queen."

"Huh?" Xu Yixing felt puzzled. What was wrong with this man? He had already said that he didn't want to be in the palace, so why did he call his queen?

"Xiaobao has been crying a lot these past two days. I think it's because his biological mother is not around. Let Qin Li bring him here later, or you can take care of him yourself."

Xu Yixing's face lit up with joy. She was annoyed when the child was around, and was worried when she hadn't seen him for a few days. After hearing what Lu Anyuan said, she put her doubts behind her, smiled, and was very happy.

"Stay here, I will take care of the Hu people's affairs. Once things here are over, you will definitely get what you want."

Xu Yixing was just immersed in the joy of Xiaobao coming back to his side and naturally ignored this sentence. Lu Anyuan only said this to persuade him not to run away, there was nothing new about it.

In the evening, Qin Li really sent Xiaobao over, and also sent a few wet nurses and nannies. He also bought a small bed in the inner room and placed it at the head of Xu Yixing's bed. With the help of these people, taking care of the child was indeed much easier.

Even the four people who had been guarding the room day and night were sent out by Lu Anyuan, and only worked in the courtyard, and no longer guarded the room like human pillars. Xu Yixing was in a good mood because of this. He enjoyed his meals more these days, and his cheeks became rounder, but he was still a long way from recovering to his former spirit.

After Lu Anyuan revealed his identity and went to Miaozhou, except for the first day when he asked the queen to accompany him, he did not show up for the next half month. No one knew what he was busy with. However, Qin Li often came over, either bringing some food and daily necessities for the children or some tonics for the queen, but he did not say a word about the emperor.

Although Xu Yixing was puzzled, he did not delve into it. After all, it was a matter of leading troops to fight, and the battlefield was changing rapidly, so it was normal not to let him get involved.

Now seeing how much he values ​​this child, when we return to the capital, I'm afraid everyone will know that the Queen gave birth to a prince when she was in Miaozhou. Once Xiaobao's name is registered in the royal jade book, her worries will be at ease.
