After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Beijing.

"Shen Zhaixing!"

Chu Zhixu walked forward quickly, stopped in front of Shen Zhaixing, and asked, "What happened during this period of time? You are not right."

Shen Zhaixing glanced at Chu Zhixu with a evasive look in his eyes. He did not answer but changed the subject and asked, "When will Ah Heng come back?"

"You don't look right." Chu Zhixu stared at him intently and said firmly, "Tell me, what happened during this period of time? What did you hide from me?"

Chu Zhixu looked at Shen Zhaixing for a long time, then grabbed Shen Zhaixing's wrist without saying anything. Before he could take Shen Zhaixing's pulse, Shen Zhaixing dodged.

"You wouldn't understand even if I tell you, so don't ask. The most important thing for you now is to find Ah Heng as soon as possible and get him back. If he doesn't come back, something terrible will happen." Shen Zhaixing naturally didn't dare to let Chu Zhixu take his pulse. He knew very well what his physical condition was like.

I don't know what kind of poison those people fed him. He has been tortured to death during this period of time. But at this moment, all the burdens of the capital city are on him alone.

If Gu Jingheng didn't come back, he really didn't know what to do.

"I've asked someone to look for him, but I don't know when he'll be back." Chu Zhixu frowned, knowing that Shen Zhaixing was unwilling to tell him what had happened during this period of time, and he would not be able to get the answer even if he asked.

He did not participate in political affairs and had no idea what was happening in the court. He only heard some rumors among the people - the rumor that Gu Jingheng was not of the emperor's bloodline was getting more and more serious. The groundless rumors from more than ten years ago were brought to the surface, and the reputation that Gu Jingheng had built up for more than ten years was almost ruined.

But he felt that things were definitely more complicated than that. There must be something else happening, otherwise the wind direction would not change so quickly.

It’s like... it’s like when the wall falls, everyone pushes it.

Let's take advantage of the time when Gu Jingheng is away to find some trouble together.

"But I have already told him about the situation in the capital. He will definitely know his limits."

Shen Zhaixing took two deep breaths, suppressed the emotions churning in his chest, and spoke calmly: "That's good, that's good."

"Cough cough..."

Shen Zhaixing's face suddenly changed, and a mouthful of blood blocked his throat. He quickly raised his right hand, covered his mouth, and forced himself to swallow it.

"Shen Zhaixing..."

Shen Zhaixing covered her mouth and turned around, with her back to Chu Zhixu, her brows furrowed.

"I... I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying this, Shen Zhaixing walked quickly in the opposite direction and left in a hurry with messy steps.

Looking at Shen Zhaixing's panic, Chu Zhixu frowned, feeling confused.

Shen Zhaixing hurried back home, and before he entered the door, he heard a sound of breaking air.

He dodged subconsciously, and with a "clang" sound, the sharp arrow pierced through the door directly.

Shen Zhaixing's pupils suddenly contracted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He looked back and saw a black figure disappearing on the beam, and he was filled with anger.

Shen Zhaixing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Not knowing what he was thinking about, he walked towards the arrow.

There was a bamboo tube in front of the arrow. Shen Zhaixing poured out a brown pill from it and threw it into his mouth.

This is the antidote for these three days.

Apocalypse's people wanted to use this poison to control him, giving him the antidote every three days, and he needed to provide them with information within three days.

Funny!

A bunch of guys who don't know how to live or die, do they really think he has been eating for free for the past twenty years?

Capital City, Prince's Mansion.

*** brought his men to the prince's mansion in a dignified manner.

"Search!"

At a command, dozens of guards rushed in. The prince's study and bedroom were turned upside down, and even the tables, chairs and tea sets fell to the ground.

*** walked all the way to the desk, sat down, looked at the pile of memorials on the desk, and sneered: "Little Yuan'er, you are really my lucky star."

Looking at the memorial on the table, ***'s thoughts drifted back to twenty-seven years ago.

At that time, the emperor doted on Concubine Wang, who gave birth to his first daughter, the young Gu Chaoyan.

The emperor told her that he would give her all the beautiful things in the world and make her the most honorable queen in the world.

But at that time, Concubine Wang had injured her body after giving birth to a bastard, and it was impossible for her to have children again in her lifetime. In order to consolidate the emperor's favor, she used forbidden drugs, which caused the emperor to lose all his essence and become incapable of indecent intercourse.

This kind of thing would be a shame for any man, let alone an emperor?

Even if he was incompetent and incompetent, it was impossible for anyone to know that he was impotent, so everyone who knew about it was secretly executed, including ***'s biological mother, Concubine Wang.

But after killing Concubine Wang, the emperor began to regret it, because he really liked Concubine Wang!

The dead cannot be resurrected, so he can only place all his hopes on ***. Fortunately, ***'s face is very good and looks very much like Concubine Wang.

The emperor kept the concubine by his side, invited the best scholars to teach her, and spent a lot of time and effort on her, training her in the model of a crown prince.

The emperor also told her that if he had no children in the future, the world would be handed over to her.

Gu Chaoyan originally just wanted to be a noble princess and enjoy the respect of the world.

However, everyone told her that she could not only be a princess, but also a future queen.

Ambition was cultivated by the emperor bit by bit.

But all this changed when Gu Jingheng was born. No, not when he was born, but when he returned from a victorious battle at the border at the age of seventeen.

Everyone said that Gu Jingheng was the well-deserved crown prince. He had outstanding abilities and talents. Now he had military merits and was supported by the people. He was a perfect choice for the crown prince.

How funny!

How funny!

I clearly told her yesterday that she could be the empress, but today everyone went to the Prince's Mansion to congratulate her, as if everyone had forgotten that she, the young lady, was the one who was trained to be the crown prince in the first place.

Even the emperor never mentioned what he had said before. They all took it for granted that the position of crown prince should be given to Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng was indeed very capable and vicious enough. In just one year, he caused all the princes under the emperor to die suddenly. He did it extremely perfectly and no one could find any fault with him.

And because she was a girl, she escaped the disaster.

Or rather, just because she was a girl, Gu Jingheng never took her seriously at all. He felt that she was not worthy of being his opponent.

It is true that she is not worthy, but it is not her who is not worthy, but Gu Jingheng who is not worthy.

Gu Jingheng is not the emperor's bloodline at all, so what qualifications does he have to be her opponent?

The medicine Concubine Wang gave the emperor completely destroyed his fertility sac. How could the emperor possibly have children again?

The emperor naturally knew that he could not have children again, so from the moment Gu Jingheng was born, he knew that Gu Jingheng was not his child.

But even if he knew about this, he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise, his impotence would be revealed.

He could only swallow his nausea and acknowledge Gu Jingheng's child. Afterwards, he concealed the truth and raised a group of newborn babies, treating them as his own children and giving them the titles of princes and princesses.

But he knew that these were not his biological children. Only *** was his biological child. Gu Jingheng was different. Gu Jingheng was the son of the empress who secretly had sex with someone else without the emperor's knowledge.

Whenever he saw Gu Jingheng, he would think of a cuckold, and he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

It was also because of this that Gu Jingheng was not favored at all when he was born, and even his mother was kept in the cold palace.

Even in the battle at the border town, the emperor was determined to have him die in the border town, so he withheld the reinforcements.

But who could have thought that Gu Jingheng was so lucky. Despite being surrounded by heavy troops and out of ammunition and food, he was still able to hold on, win the battle, return to the capital, and use his strength to shut up the emperor and even the civil and military officials.

"Your Highness, leave this to me. You go and have a rest first." The aunt in charge looked at ***'s pale face and said with some heartache.

Just three days ago, an accident happened on the day *** was about to give birth.

The docile consort originally chosen by the empress turned against her on the day the empress was about to give birth.

He said that he had endured it for so many years and had been cuckolded countless times, but he had always followed *** without any regrets, just hoping that *** would look at him more, and he truly loved ***.

But *** not only ignored him, he even disliked him and sent him out.

After five years, he was finally summoned back from outside when he was about to give birth.

Five years, he was away from home during these five years, and yet *** got pregnant.

Ah!

Anyone with eyes, no, anyone with eyes would know that this child could not be his.

This is like rubbing his face on the ground!

He was even asked to swallow his pride, acknowledge the bastard, take care of the mother's childbirth, and even arrange for the mother to keep a yard of male concubines.

He is a man with blood. How could he swallow this?

Before marrying my wife, he was also the son of a high-ranking official. He was handsome, well-educated, and kept himself clean.

But after he married a prostitute, he was exiled, humiliated, and monitored. He couldn't even go home, and his life was like that of an ascetic monk.

He's had enough of being a royal consort.

So, he didn't want to be the prince consort anymore.

He chose to do it on the day when the girl was about to give birth. It was very common for a woman to die twice during childbirth, so no one would suspect it.

After *** dies, he can return to his normal life.

"No need." *** pressed his swollen eyebrows and his head started to hurt again.

She got a headache whenever she thought of her husband.

Originally, she was attracted by the gentleness of the prince consort, but she did not expect that the prince consort was a silent dog who would wait in the dark and seize the opportunity to bite off his master's neck.

Fortunately, with Nan Yuan's reminder, she was more careful.

Fortunately, Nan Yuan and Gu Jingheng were very caring towards her. They subdued the prince consort at the moment he ordered his men to take action.

But even so, she was frightened, and the fetus was unstable to begin with, so she gave birth to a stillbirth.

She is still in confinement, so naturally her complexion is not good.

But it doesn’t matter. Power is the most nourishing thing. Once she finds out more evidence of Gu Jingheng’s crimes, she will be the only heir. The whole world will belong to her. What does she want?

"Continue the search and report any abnormalities immediately." *** lowered his head and pressed his hands between his eyebrows.

But this time, no one responded for a long time.

"A bunch of idiots, you didn't even listen to what I said..." *** had just raised her head when two figures came into view.

One man and one woman, one tall and one short, one handsome and one delicate.

Gu Jingheng was dressed in black, standing next to a beautiful woman in red. The two of them walked towards this side together, as if they were a perfect match made in heaven.

Little Kite?

Didn't Nan Yuan escape with great difficulty, and she even helped Nan Yuan, so how could she follow Gu Jingheng back so easily?

It doesn't look like he was forced!

***'s pupils suddenly contracted and he stood up from the chair: "Jing Heng, why are you back?"

It shouldn’t be!

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

Didn’t the news from Tianqi say that Gu Jingheng had been detained and he couldn’t return to the capital for a while?

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Gu Jingheng walked towards *** with a smile on his face, holding Nan Yuan's hand.

Except for the tidy place where *** was standing, the rest of the place was messy.

"Did I offend my sister in any way that she wanted me to break into my prince's mansion and destroy things while I was away?" Gu Jingheng looked at her with clear eyes and a faint smile on his lips, looking harmless.

However, the threat and warning in that tone were too strong, which reminded *** of the princes who died suddenly and unexpectedly.

Now is not the time to break up with Gu Jingheng, she can't be too impulsive.

"Jing Heng, you misunderstood." The pale face of the emperor turned even paler due to weakness, and his voice trembled slightly. "I... didn't mean what you thought. I was just following orders. No one dares to disobey the emperor's orders."

"Oh? Father?" Gu Jingheng looked at his sister with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "When did father become so cruel that he let my sister experience the pain of losing her son and immediately came to rob my brother's house?"

It seems that Gu Jingheng has no intention of pretending to be nice to ***, and every word he says is like a dagger stabbing into ***'s heart.

The pain of losing a child is beyond words.

No matter what Gu Jingheng's purpose was, at least it did stimulate ***.

*** took a deep breath, suppressed his temper, looked at Nan Yuan again, and asked, "Xiao Yuan'er has become more mellow recently. I guess the environment outside is much better than our capital."

"That's right. In the capital, even the sky is full of rules and regulations, let alone people. If a free person is bound by these rules for too long, there will be problems."

In return, *** also turned his attention to Nan Yuan.
