In the carriage, Su Nanxing's maid was kneeling beside her, holding a spittoon.

Su Nanxing almost vomited bile into the spittoon, and her frail body was shaking.

The road to Longhua Temple is a specially built official road. It is relatively flat and easy to walk on, but it is still bumpy.

The long journey made Su Nanxing, who already had some morning sickness, even more severe.

She raised her head weakly and found that Xiao Changshi was covering his mouth and nose, pulling open the car curtain to get some fresh air without even looking at her.

Ever since the last quarrel with Su Lingyue in the mansion, Xiao Changshi seldom traveled with her and seldom talked to her.

She wanted to break this situation.

Now her father is neglected by the emperor, her elder brother holds a low position, and her mother is bedridden. No one can help her except herself.

Every time she showed weakness or mentioned the child, Xiao Changshi would soften his heart.

She looked at Xiao Changshi with tears in her eyes, "Brother Crown Prince, I feel so bad."

Xiao Changshi lowered the car curtain and looked at Su Nanxing, the expression on his face looked like he was trying his best to endure.

He frowned, and when he saw the weak Su Nanxing under the lifted veil, even though he had no feelings in his heart anymore, he still felt some pity.

After all, Su Nanxing is pregnant with his child.

He was about to get up and comfort Su Nanxing.

The carriage was shaking and another mouthful of gastric juice came out.

Looking at the filth coming out of Su Nanxing's mouth, Xiao Changshi could no longer bear it.

He covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowned, and said with disdain: "I told you that you were pregnant and didn't need to come with me. You didn't take good care of the baby in the mansion, and now you are suffering like this, it's your own fault!"

Xiao Changshi's words made Su Nanxing feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

She leaned weakly on the carriage, looking at Xiao Changshi in disbelief as he covered his mouth and nose.

After all, she was pregnant with his child, yet he was so cold to her.

Tears fell like beads from a broken string, she bit her lip and cried, "Brother Crown Prince, I am pregnant with your child! How could you do this to me!"

Hearing Su Nanxing say this, Xiao Changshi felt an inexplicable fire in his heart, "You are pregnant with my child, the position of Crown Princess is yours, you have achieved your goal, what else do you want?"

A tear fell from Su Nanxing's eyes. She stared at the person in front of her in a daze. The person who once claimed that he only loved her has now become so strange.

"If it was Su Lingyue, you wouldn't be like this, right?"

Xiao Changshi looked back at her coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Nanxing sneered, "I'm talking nonsense? Who did you meet yesterday? Where did you ride to this morning?"

"You followed me?" Xiao Changshi's expression began to become sinister. He stood up and walked towards Su Nanxing.

When the maid saw Xiao Changshi's expression, she was so scared that she knelt aside with the spittoon in her arms.

Su Nanxing hadn't realized how angry Xiao Changshi was at the moment, and continued to laugh and taunt, "No matter how much you like her, that bitch Su Lingyue is still your imperial aunt. You will never be able to..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Changshi had already walked to Su Nanxing's side. He grabbed Su Nanxing's neck with his big hand, lifted her up and pressed her against the carriage, "Did I ever tell you to behave yourself? Don't you want to be the Crown Princess?"

"Your father is now neglected by the emperor. Although he has not been dismissed, he no longer has real power. With your ugly appearance, I still let you sit on the throne of the Crown Princess. It is a gift to you!"

"Don't be ungrateful!"

Su Nanxing was out of breath and tried hard to pry open Xiao Changshi's hands that were tightly holding her neck. However, the physical strength gap between men and women was huge. In addition, Xiao Changshi had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so his strength should not be underestimated. Su Nanxing's consciousness gradually became blurred.

The maid beside her saw Su Nanxing like this and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Changshi's clothes and cried, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is dying!"

This sentence awakened Xiao Changshi, who had his eyes wide open. He suddenly let go of his hand, and Su Nanxing slid down the carriage and sat on the soft stool, gasping for breath.

"If you don't behave yourself, get out of the Prince's Mansion!"

Xiao Changshi said this coldly and got off the carriage.

Su Nanxing fell to the ground, holding her red neck, and looked at the direction where Xiao Changshi left with resentful eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Su Lingyue! You disfigured me, and after getting married you still want to snatch my prince brother away. I want you dead!"

Su Lingyue, who was taking a nap, suddenly sneezed.

Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze from the scenery, held her hand and asked with concern: "Is Yue'er cold?"

Su Lingyue rubbed her nose and said, "Maybe someone is saying something bad about me."

Xiao Yu looked at the sleepy Su Lingyue and chuckled, "Yue'er, tell me who it is, and I'll help you vent your anger."

"Ah."

Su Lingyue responded in a daze, then fell asleep again holding Xiao Yu's hand.

Xiao Changshi got off the carriage and got on the queen's carriage in front.

The queen was taking a nap with her hand on her forehead. When she saw Xiao Changshi coming, she sat up and said, "Shi'er is here!"

"May your Majesty be well and sound!" Xiao Changshi knelt down and bowed deeply to the Queen.

"Shi'er, get up quickly!" The queen stood up and helped Xiao Changshi up. She was a little confused. Usually, when they met, mother and son would bow to each other, so why were they doing such a big ceremony today?

"What's wrong?" asked the Queen.

Xiao Changshi stood with his head down. After hesitating for a moment, he clenched his fist and said, "Mother, I regret it. My uncle is like this now. I want to choose a new concubine."

After hearing what Xiao Changshi said, the queen was shocked. She had no idea when her son, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, had such thoughts.

"Shi'er, you were the one who chose the Crown Princess. What's wrong with you now? Do you dislike her appearance?"

Xiao Changshi shook his head, "Mother, you should know that in my position, the appearance of the people around me is not the most important, but their character and ability are. I regret that I shouldn't have married her that day."

The queen probably understood something.

Su Nanxing was raised by Xue Man. Xue Man was the daughter of a poor family, so naturally she couldn't raise a decent daughter.

I'm afraid Su Nanxing has done something stupid again.

But for the sake of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the position of Crown Princess can only belong to Su Nanxing.

The Queen gently patted Xiao Changshi's shoulder and said lovingly, "Shi'er, your mother's surname is Su, and the Crown Princess can only have the surname Su, do you understand?"

Xiao Changshi lowered his head, responded, and said sadly: "I understand, but... I really can't be with her..."

He is a normal man. Su Nanxing had previously relied on Su Heng's power to dismiss all the dancers and beautiful maids in the mansion.

Now there are only some old women and ugly maids left in the mansion.

Considering his own reputation, he could only fend for himself and take a cold shower every time he felt the urge.

The queen understood and said, "After the prayers are over, I will report to your father and ask him to choose a few concubines for you who have good family backgrounds, are beautiful and virtuous. How about that?"

Xiao Changshi smiled and looked at the queen, then bowed and said, "Thank you, mother."

After getting out of the Queen's carriage, Xiao Changshi felt that the huge rock pressing on his heart had become much lighter.

Compared with other noble ladies in the capital, Sister Yue'er is the best in terms of talent, beauty and character.

Xiao Yu is doomed this time, so he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to choose a concubine and bring Sister Yue'er into the mansion. She will definitely be very happy.

This way, you can have a beautiful woman in your arms and get the military token at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!
