Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Liu Xiuwen's face was grim. "The eighth prince is still in the secret realm and has not come out yet."

This, this is bad!

Liu Jingyan was stunned after hearing this, not understanding how the eighth prince got caught up in this.

You should know that there are many talented people around the prince, and the eighth prince's mother was born in a prominent family in Luojing. The eighth prince himself is also very talented. Among many princes, he is one of the best candidates who has the chance to ascend the throne.

Even so, could something happen to the eighth prince? How chaotic was this secret realm?

Liu Xiuwen relaxed his expression, "Not only the Eighth Prince, but also the Sixth and Ninth Princes were unable to come out of the secret realm."

This time when the royal secret realm was opened, five of the emperor's sons were gone.

At present, only the fourth and fifth princes have returned safely. These two are still small transparent, without any outstanding skills, and are the kind of people who are not even worth picking on.

As princes, sons of the emperor, no matter how humble they are to their own people, they all like to put on airs to the outside world.

The fourth and fifth princes are special cases. Their mothers were born palace maids and died early in the harem struggle after giving birth to them. The two of them grew up supporting each other and stumbling all the way. They had no confidence both internally and externally, and it was tacitly acknowledged that they had no chance of becoming the emperor.

The reason they were able to enter the secret realm this time was because of their status as princes. The first three princes were over the age of majority, while the last prince was not yet of age.

"Grandfather, there is something fishy about this matter." The three princes who had the ability to aspire to the throne were most likely to have met with an accident in the secret realm. Hiss, no one would dare to believe this if this were said out loud.

"Well, Jing Yan, just take care of yourself, this matter won't fall on you.

As for Jingyuan, it depends on his luck. I hope he won't cause any trouble for our Liu family."

After Liu Xiuwen finished speaking, he turned and left the room, disappearing without a trace.

Liu Jingyan stayed in the room filled with the aroma of medicine and sighed helplessly.

Hey

He never expected that he had escaped death and was already considered unlucky, but he didn't expect that a prince of even more noble status would die in the secret realm.

Who could have attacked the prince? Was it some other master in the palace who couldn't help himself?

Liu Jingyan couldn't help but speculate. The royal family has always had no family affection, and killing fathers and sons is not uncommon. The Wei State has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and has experienced several emperors, but only one of them succeeded safely.

Maybe the three of them were scheming against each other, and in the end none of them could get out?

Liu Jingyan's mind was full of ideas, and all kinds of thoughts popped up one after another. Some of them were inevitably bizarre, but he actually guessed about 70% of the truth by accident.

You have to know that it was already late when Liu Jingyan came out, and he fainted for a few days afterwards.

Until Liu Xiuwen spoke to him, the three princes were still missing.

Everyone is equal in the face of danger. If they have not appeared by the deadline, even the emperor can only declare them dead.

Then...whether it is the court or the harem, it will trigger a disaster like a landslide or tsunami.

The families and forces behind the three princes will not let them off easily. It is highly likely that several of the princes still alive in the palace will be killed.

A drop of cold sweat flowed down the temple and soon submerged around the collar.

Liu Jingyan calmed himself down, closed his eyes and continued to suppress his pounding heart.

What his grandfather said was absolutely correct. This matter had nothing to do with him who was recovering from his injuries. He just needed to stay at home and be a deaf person who knew nothing.

…………

Liu Jingyan stayed at home to recuperate, because Liu Xiuwen was his support.

However, some of the other people who came out, whose families were not so strong, could not avoid being questioned by people from the government office.

After all, there was chaos in the palace, and the concubines were not naive. They thought that the fact that their sons did not come out must have been deliberately designed by some bitches, and they asked the emperor to make the decision for them!

While there was chaos outside, the Liu family lived a peaceful life.

The only one who wanted to cause trouble was Liu Jingyuan's biological mother, but unfortunately she was slapped down by Madam Liu before she could even start. Madam Liu didn't want any trouble to happen in the Liu Mansion at this time and implicate her two sons.

Not to mention that Liu Jingyuan, the adopted bastard, had not come out, even if her husband, Lord Liu, had died, not a single rumor could get out.

Shen Yao had been in confinement for a month, and on the day she went out she happened to run into Liu Jingyan returning to the hospital.

It was a coincidence that the couple lived together in the mansion. One was recuperating in the front yard, and the other was recuperating in the room. They didn't see each other until nearly a month later.

Shen Yao immediately shed tears, which dripped onto Liu Jingyan's heart.

"Yaoyao, I'm fine. How are you and the kids?" Liu Jingyan had wanted to come back a long time ago, but he had too many things to do. After he recovered from his injury, he was drafted into the army by Liu Xiuwen.

Shen Yao shook her head obediently, "Ayan, the children and I are fine," and then she took Liu Jingyan's wrist and went straight into the room to see the two children.

After a full month, Liu Mingxuan and Liu Mingfei are now plump and white, which makes people happy just by looking at them.

Liu Xiuwen would come over and hug the two children whenever he had time. Everyone in the mansion knew that Liu Xiuwen loved the twins.

This was the first time Liu Jingyan saw the two children. During the time he was recuperating, most of the interesting stories about the children's lives were conveyed by Liu Xiuwen and Mrs. Liu.

How can you convey the fragrance of seeing it with your own eyes? Liu Jingyan has long wanted to meet the child.

Now that his wish had come true, Liu Jingyan touched his chest and it seemed as if something had grown out of nowhere. Was this the result of blood ties?

She reached out and touched the two children's faces and hands. When Liu Jingyan was about to make the children cry, Shen Yao quickly pulled Liu Jingyan away.

But you can't do that. Even though the two children are good kids when they are asleep, if they are unhappy when they wake up, they will become naughty kids who make trouble for the world.

Shen Yao has been troubled by their crying and making a fuss over the past month.

It was because the baby was taken care of too well in the womb that even his cry was loud and deafening, which made life difficult for the servants in the entire courtyard.

Shen Yao whispered about the two children's dark history, and was also concerned about Liu Jingyan's physical condition.

The situation outside is not optimistic. The time for entering the secret realm has expired, and there are still many young masters from noble families who have not been able to come out.

Compared with the three princes, Liu Jingyuan, who also did not come out, does not deserve to have a name.

The people in the family (especially Liu Jingyuan's side) had made a fuss about this before, but this time it was Liu Xiuwen who took action, and he put the matter under control cleanly and efficiently. Even the engaged young lady of the Shangshu had her engagement cancelled, without any delay at all.

"Is it true that we can't get out?" Didn't they say that the secret realm will be closed for another two months?

Shen Yao didn't understand, so she asked and waited for Liu Jingyan to explain. Liu Jingyan did not let her down and sighed and told her the key.

“In the remaining time, the emperor will arrange for a large army to sweep the border.

Even if the people inside can survive, they will die if they see the royal family's secrets.

"The ladies in the palace are all helpless, and the trouble is yet to come," Liu Jingyan said, then he looked up at the bright and clear sky outside the window, hugged Shen Yao and held her in his arms.

Shen Yao leaned obediently in Liu Jingyan's arms, listening to Liu Jingyan talking about the gossip.

These are channels that Shen Yao could not get. Now with Liu Jingyan, Shen Yao can also feel the depth of the water.

"Ayan, what does it mean above?" Shen Yao pointed to the top of her head and blinked her beautiful eyelashes.

Liu Jingyan shook his head slightly and said, "A saint has no shortage of sons and will only consider the overall situation." But the queens who have lost their children will go crazy and not care about anything.

This is the difference between men and women, they respond differently depending on their input.

"Yaoyao, my grandfather told me that several people in the secret realm acted too conspicuously this time and might be implicated." Liu Jingyan didn't understand whether these people were naive or just stupid. Why didn't they think that the timing was not right and even if they showed their talent, it would be inappropriate.

Everyone in Luojing City is cunning and foolish enough to believe in the imperial power. Eventually, they will become stepping stones on the road to imperial power.

Liu Jingyan doesn't think it's right to hide one's shortcomings, but hiding one's shortcomings appropriately is helpful in protecting oneself.

The emperor has dealt with many people and families over the years, and Liu Jingyan remembers all of this clearly.

"I don't know how long this will last. Ayan, let's stay in the courtyard."

Shen Yao expressed her worry and fear vividly, acting like a little girl, which made Liu Jingyan feel extremely satisfied.

All men have a bit of a hero-saving-the-beauty mentality, and Liu Jingyan is no exception.

"Yaoyao, I'm here and I will never let you and the children suffer." He had to be more cautious and try to protect himself in this storm.

The two of them stayed together for a while until someone came over and they returned to normal.

Shen Yao's days in the courtyard were relatively easy, and even after the confinement period, nothing serious happened.

My daily routine is to take care of the two children, chat with Mrs. Liu, and occasionally listen to Liu Jingyan talk about the turbulent situation outside.

The disturbance in the secret realm spread to the imperial court. The emperor had just sent troops there when two young princes lost their lives due to various trivial matters.

The emperor was furious and spared no effort to investigate. However, before he could find any useful information, the fourth and fifth princes came out of the secret realm, one with a broken hand and the other with a broken leg, and slapped the emperor in the face.

emperor:……

The emperor was really angry and issued a death order for a thorough investigation, and also replaced all the servants in the palace.

Perhaps the change of personnel was not a matter of convenience, but a matter of following the trend.

There are so many concubines in the harem, all from different families, with their own power and ambitions. The emperor is worried that his lack of control will affect him, so he took advantage of the situation to stir up trouble.

However, when gods fight, mortals suffer. The emperor and his concubines in the harem compete with each other in wits and courage, and people in the court can only keep a low profile.

During this period, Shen Yao strangely discovered that even the Liu family was filled with a depressing atmosphere. Either something happened to someone, or everyone was trembling with fear and dared not have fun.

Tut tut

It was truly an era where imperial power was supreme. The emperor was the heaven for everyone and controlled their life and death. If anything went wrong, rivers of blood would flow.

Shen Yao held the adorable child in her arms and lowered her head to coax the child softly.

Qingshui came in from outside with a happy look on his face, and congratulated Shen Yao with a smile.

Great joy? Where does the joy come from?

"It's Lord Liu, Lord, you've been promoted." Although he will be transferred out of Beijing soon, it is still a good thing. You know, it is difficult to get a promotion in the Wei State court.

When Qingshui heard the congratulations coming from the front yard, he couldn't help but run to tell his master.

Shen Yao was sensitive enough to sense that something was wrong. Giving Father Liu a promotion at this time? Was it a good thing?

A little later, Liu Jingyan came back drunk and was pushed by Shen Yao to wash up.

The bathroom was filled with mist. While Shen Yao was wiping Liu Jingyan's body, she asked him about what happened in the front yard today.

"It is the emperor's compensation to the Liu family. Grandfather and father have no objection."

Liu Jingyan hesitated to speak and still did not say what the reason for the compensation was. Anyway, it could not be related to Liu Jingyuan.

Shen Yao thought about what the Liu family had done during this period and guessed that it was related to the things happening in the palace.

Many concubines in the harem were killed or injured, and even the previous dynasty was affected.

The emperor quickly and decisively chopped off many people's heads with his sword, and successfully made everyone in Luojing feel insecure.

Shen Yao has never left the Liu Mansion, and Qingshui can only move around in the Liu Mansion, occasionally going out to buy some daily necessities for her.

Moreover, Qingshui's position is low and his words are not taken seriously, so the news he hears is basically false.

Now, after putting all these things together, Shen Yao still has no clue.

"Father has been transferred, should we go with him?" Father Liu's enthusiasm for Liu Jingyan has somewhat weakened, but it is still much stronger than before.

Liu Jingyan adapted to his father's style and slowly figured out his attitude towards the other party.

Logically speaking, when Liu's father left Beijing for work, they, as his children, must follow him, and even Mrs. Liu cannot stay in the Liu Mansion to enjoy her life.

But there are always unexpected things. Liu Xiuwen values ​​the child born to Shen Yao very much. Liu's father will be away from Beijing for at least three years. Liu Xiuwen is reluctant to let his two children suffer with him, so they don't need to leave Luojing.

"Grandfather loves us and the children, and father also let us stay in Luojing," Liu Jingyan patted the back of Shen Yao's hand to reassure her.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao blinked, smiled and put her arms around Liu Jingyan's slender neck.

"What arrangements does mother have?" As for Mrs. Liu, she most likely doesn't want to go.

Liu Jingyan's words revealed Madam Liu's attitude. She really didn't want to go, and she only arranged for a few wives and concubines to accompany her. Anyway, she had no feelings for Liu's father.

Shen Yao's eyes lit up slightly, and she thought that this way, her life in the Liu Mansion would be more relaxed and comfortable.

After all, Madam Liu was her biological mother-in-law, and after Father Liu was gone, the illegitimate children and concubines in the mansion wouldn't cause much trouble. Wow, her life was simply perfect.

Shen Yao was in a good mood and had recovered well, so she just had a fight with Liu Jingyan in the bathroom.

Liu Jingyan hadn't touched Shen Yao for a long time. Now that he had the chance again, he couldn't remain reserved for too long even if he wanted to.

The two people came out of the bathroom with rosy faces. They were not idle at night and made Shen Yao get up an hour late in the morning.

Shen Yao is Liu's father's daughter-in-law. When Liu's father left Beijing, she had to express her opinion on everything.

First, he went to the main courtyard to ask Madam Liu for instructions, and then Shen Yao came back and prepared some things according to normal standards.

Naturally, the things were handed over by Liu Jingyan to show his goodwill, and he also took some treasures back from Liu's father's warehouse.

Father Liu has the absolute right to distribute the things in the private warehouse. Liu Jingyan will have younger brothers and sisters in the future, and he doesn't want to give up the benefits.
