After the host binds to the childbearing system, one baby will be born.

The purple-clothed man took a sip of tea and said in a cold voice: "Then let's proceed according to the original plan."

Prime Minister Xiao was silent for a long moment, then nodded and said:

"Your Highness Prince Kang is right." His Majesty is safe and sound now, without any sense of crisis, so he will definitely not give in.

A gleam of light flashed in King Kang's eyes, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said:

"I wonder what Prime Minister Xiao thinks of the King's proposal a few days ago? Now that the two children are about the same age, if the marriage is arranged earlier, they can get married sooner."

Prime Minister Xiao was shocked. He had never mentioned this matter to his daughter, and he still had doubts about this marriage, so he replied tactfully:

"Your Highness Prince Kang, my daughter is still young, so we should consider this matter carefully."

King Kang expected him to answer like this, so he was not in a hurry. He just said slowly: "The daughter of the Xiao family is gentle and virtuous, and my son is also a handsome man. They are a match made in heaven."

Prime Minister Xiao was about to refuse again, but he heard Prince Kang say:

"I will go and lobby His Majesty, so the Xiao family doesn't have to worry. Besides, the Imperial Clan Office has already shortlisted more than a dozen candidates for the crown prince, and we can just wait for His Majesty to agree before submitting the list."

Prince Kang said threateningly, "You also know that my son is the best and most capable among them. He will definitely become one of the candidates for the crown prince. By then, you will not be the only one who wants to be my son's daughter-in-law. Prime Minister Xiao, you must think carefully!"

As long as he is tied to the Xiao family and has the support of the Xiao family, his son's chance of inheriting the throne will be half successful!

Prime Minister Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he was secretly calculating in his mind.

"Your Highness is right." After a while, Prime Minister Xiao said. His voice was low and firm, as if he had made up his mind. He knew the importance of this decision, but he also understood the huge risks involved.

King Kang showed a satisfied smile and raised his teacup to Prime Minister Xiao: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

The two men reached a cooperation. Prime Minister Xiao raised his teacup with a serious face and clinked glasses with King Kang. Then the two of them drank the water in the teacup.

……

Qin Zhao sent away this group of ministers, then stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking silent and lonely.

The secret guard descended from the sky, knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty!"

Qin Zhao turned around and saw that it was the secret guard assigned to Lin Shuwan. He suppressed all the emotions on his face and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty. Miss Lin will leave for Fajue Temple tomorrow to fast and pray for Master Chen for a month."

Qin Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Why does she suddenly want to go to Fajue Temple?"

The secret guard explained: "Miss Lin said that too many things have happened in Jing'an Marquis's Mansion recently, and she wants to go out to relax. And the Marquis's wife also wants to use her status as mother-in-law to torture Miss Lin.

So Miss Lin arranged for Madam Liu to bribe the fake alchemist who lived in the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, saying that Master Chen had provoked an unclean thing, and that Miss Lin had to go to Fajue Temple to fast and pray for a month before the situation could be resolved.

Qin Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this: "Madam Hou still dares to abuse her?" Didn't he ask Liu Youxi to give her something yesterday? How could someone dare to treat her badly?

The secret guard knew that Qin Zhao had feelings for Lin Shuwan, and he did not dare to hide anything: "Yes. Today, the Marquis's wife was sick, and she asked Miss Lin to take care of her. But she deliberately made things difficult for Miss Lin. Miss Lin accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl, and the Marquis's wife wanted to have Miss Lin dragged to the yard and exposed to the sun for two hours!"

Qin Zhao frowned even more tightly: "I understand. Since she wants to go, let her go. Protect her well." In a few days, he will also go to Fajue Temple to practice. Maybe they can meet again.

……

The next morning, Lin Shuwan went to bid farewell to the Marquis's wife and Chen Siyuan, then took the people in his courtyard, sat in a carriage, and left the capital in a grand manner, heading towards Fajue Temple.

When Qingluan learned that Lin Shuwan went to Fajue Temple, she was immediately delighted. If she could get pregnant with the eldest master's child during this period, she would be able to gain a foothold in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

But the eldest son was seriously injured and I don’t know if he can still be used.

Qingluan looked at her still red and swollen cheeks in the mirror and applied the ointment on her face again. She had to take care of her face as soon as possible, otherwise how could she seduce the eldest master!

Qingluan applied the medicine, put on a mask to cover her red and swollen cheeks, and walked towards the Qinxue Pavilion swayingly.

Just as she reached the door, a medicine bowl was smashed to the ground with a crisp sound. The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine and an incurable stench. Qingluan frowned slightly and walked in. She saw Chen Siyuan lying on the bed, and two maids kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Master!" Qingluan's eyes were slightly red. She ran to the edge of Chen Siyuan's bed, gently stroked Chen Siyuan's pale cheek with shaking hands, and said, "Master, you have suffered. Does your body still hurt?"

When Chen Siyuan saw Qingluan, he thought of how he had insisted on marrying her as a legal wife, which was why he was impeached by the censor, severely punished by the emperor, and stripped of his position as the crown prince!

Thinking of this, Chen Siyuan's eyes were filled with resentment and anger, and he said, "Get out of here! It's all your fault, bitch. If it weren't for you, you would be a concubine, but you made me welcome you as my wife. Now I have lost my position as the crown prince and was punished by His Majesty. From now on, I will become a bedridden useless person!"

Chen Siyuan has had a particularly bad time these past two days, especially since his half brothers and half sisters, whom he had always looked down upon, kept coming to his house to provoke and mock him for being a waste!

And that half-brother who was one year younger than him, not only came to provoke and ridicule him, but also bluntly stated that his father had planned to register him under his mother's name, making him the second legitimate son, and planned to ask His Majesty to make him the crown prince!

How could he endure this?

When Chen Siyuan saw Qingluan at this moment, no matter how much he loved and cared for her in the past, it could not compare to the position of the Crown Prince!

Qingluan looked at the man in front of her with a distorted face and eyes full of resentment. Her heart suddenly ached and she called out in a trembling voice, "Brother Siyuan, do you blame me?" The tears in her eyes immediately rolled down, irritating her red and swollen cheeks and making her tremble even more violently.

She was originally a concubine. If she displeased Chen Siyuan, how would she live in the Marquis' Mansion?

"It's all my fault... wuwuwu..." Qingluan cried and threw herself into Chen Siyuan's arms.

Chen Siyuan pushed her away with disgust on his face, "Get lost! Look at your face, it's so ugly!"

Qingluan's crying stopped abruptly. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Siyuan in disbelief.

Chen Siyuan, who had once taken great care of her, actually said such hurtful words.

She covered her face, turned and ran out, her heart filled with despair and sadness.

She stumbled back to Luohua Courtyard. Qiaoqiao saw her crying and asked hurriedly, "Aunt Qing, what happened to you? Your face is injured, you can't cry!"
