ex husband always trying to get me pregnant

Xia Yan and Cheng Xi sat around the table and put the chess pieces on the board. Instead of playing chess, they used chess as a substitute for the convenience of explanation.

While arranging the black and white sets of chess pieces, Cheng Xi said, "Yan'er, have you ever thought about why Song Yi, a man from the rivers and lakes, would participate in court affairs and help you several times?"

Xia Yansi thought: "Because he and brother Ameng are good friends, and they are warm-hearted and loyal?"

"That's only a small part of it."

Cheng Xi took out one chess piece from the two piles of black and white, and asked, "What do you think is the relationship between Jianghu and court?"

Xia Yan put his hands together on the table and said, "Everyone is in charge of their own affairs, and they don't interfere with each other?"

Cheng Xi shook his head, "It's just on the surface."

Xia Yan showed doubts, and Cheng Xi gave an example: "If you are the leader of the martial arts alliance and you are divided into two with the court, wouldn't it be..."

Xia Yan immediately understood, if so, the leader of the martial arts alliance became another emperor.

"This is absolutely not allowed." Cheng Xidao, "But people in the Jianghu are equipped with martial arts, and there are many capable people and strangers. It is difficult for them to be like ordinary people. Therefore, both sides took a step back and took what they needed. The imperial court gave the Jianghu Freedom enough, but it also requires them to surrender."

"What if they are not willing to surrender?" Xia Yan frowned.

Cheng Xi sighed, "That's when the world was in chaos. In history, many monarchs of the new dynasty were born in the Jianghu. Of course, there are only a few in the world in chaos, and most of the time they will submit. After all, those who have status, fame, wealth and freedom , is enough for many."

Xia Yan nodded in agreement, thinking: Being an emperor is as hard and troublesome as my father's, so I don't even want to give it to him to be him.

Cheng Xi continued: "Therefore, many ruling monarchs will get close to some famous forces in the world, and these forces will also secretly assist the court, so as to complement each other."

Xia Yan's eyes lit up, "So Song Da... Song Chief Escort helped us several times, is it because of this?"

"It's usually like this, but in Song Yi's case, the situation is slightly different." Cheng Xi deliberately paused and looked at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan immediately patted Cheng Xi's arm, "Oh, don't be tricky, just say it!"

Cheng Xi smiled and said, "Don't you guess?"

Xia Yan shook her head seriously, "I just want to know the answer quickly!"

Cheng Xi's smile became stronger, rubbed the top of his head, and explained in detail: "Actually, when the Holy Majesty was conquering the world, he borrowed Taoism, that is, my master's assistant. For more than 20 years, the Jianghu has been in decline. But now my master has retired, and the influence of the Taoist school has also weakened..."

"So Jianghu wants to take the opportunity to make a comeback?!" Xia Yan asked.

Cheng Xi nodded, "Many forces in the Jianghu want to have relations with the imperial court, but unfortunately His Majesty's attitude has always been a bit cold, so they began to turn their minds to other places."

Xia Yan's mind lit up, and he said, "Brother Prince?!"

"That's right. It just so happens that Song Yi is acquainted with His Royal Highness the side concubine, and His Highness the Crown Prince really needs a force from outside the court. It can be said that they should hit it off right away."

Xia Yan heard the deep meaning in the words, pondered over the "should be", and tentatively said: "But the relationship between Song Chief Escort and Brother Ameng is too good, does Brother Prince mind?"

"One of them." Cheng Xi took out a white chess piece and placed it behind the first white chess piece, "The other reason is that His Royal Highness is only His Royal Highness after all, and many things cannot be overdone."

Xia Yan said "Oh", although he has not been involved in the imperial court, he still understands that it is a taboo for princes to form cliques for personal gain.

"Moreover, this kind of alliance of forces has never been maintained by sincerity. Even in the future, there will still be a long seesaw between them." Cheng Xi continued, "That is to say, His Royal Highness needs Song Yi and must suppress him. "Song Yi also needs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he also has to ensure that he will not be crushed too hard. Yaner, if you were Song Yi, what would you do?"

"If I were him..." Xia Yan slowly rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Leverage?!"

Cheng Xi laughed and praised: "Yan'er is really smart."

Xia Yan chuckled, and Cheng Xi chased after him: "The next question is whose strength to borrow."

Xia Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Cheng Xi said: "This means that you are in the middle of the game and don't know it."

Xia Yan raised his eyes to look at Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi looked back at him, and nodded with determination.

Xia Yan was taken aback, "You mean... me? How is it possible? Although I am a prince, I have no power at all!"

"You are the prince, this alone is enough. Moreover, you used to have nothing, but now you have the entire prime minister's mansion."

"But the prime minister's mansion belongs to the elder brother of the prince!" Xia Yan was puzzled.

"This is based on the fact that there is no suspicion between you and His Royal Highness as brothers and sisters."

"Why not?" Xia Yan was at a loss, "I don't want to be a prince."

"You really don't want to be a crown prince, but the world is ever-changing. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Even if it's not a battle for the throne, there may be other things." Cheng Xi pushed the sunspot forward, "For example, the Song Dynasty If it is good, it can be the water waves that disturb the calm lake."

Xia Yan frowned and thought for a while, then understood.

Song Yi didn't want to be controlled by the prince's elder brother in vain, so he chose to get close to him, the prince who had potential backers, in order to gain an opportunity to take the initiative in the future.In this way, there may be a rift between him, the prime minister's mansion, and the prince's brother. Once there is a rift, there may be very serious consequences because of a certain crime.

Although nothing happened yet, Cheng Xi realized it and told him to stay away from Song Yi.

Thinking so long...

"Looking at the situation of the two of you talking yesterday, it is indeed a little too close. It doesn't matter whether he is really close to you or really has the thoughts I just said. In short, I reminded him, and he understood and restrained. .In fact, doing so is also a good thing for him." Cheng Xi looked at Xia Yan seriously, "Now you understand? This is completely different from you being good friends with Xiao Fang."

Xia Yan suddenly realized and nodded: "I, I understand, I will keep a distance from him. To be honest, I think brother Ameng and brother Prince are very good, and I want to be so good with them all the time."

"Me too." Cheng Xi said earnestly, "I have read and played with His Highness the Crown Prince since I was a child. Apart from that layer of identity, it can be said that he is my best friend. I know he must think so in his heart. Indeed, Monarch and Minister It is difficult to have a true friendship between them, and it will be even more different when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, but we still have a hope and work hard for it."

"Yes." Xia Yan blinked, grabbed Cheng Xi's hand and encouraged, "You, Brother Prince, and Brother Ameng are all reasonable and affectionate people, you will definitely do it!"

"I hope so."

Cheng Xi sighed, smiled wryly and shook his head, "Actually, what I dislike the most is being in these city mansions. I find it boring, and even... a little dirty. To be honest, I hope my life is just simple. Reading and practicing martial arts, enjoying flowers at sunrise, and tasting tea after the rain, but I also know that if I don’t work hard, these beautiful things will not exist.”

"Don't say that!" Xia Yan leaned closer to Cheng Xi and looked at him solemnly, "It's not bad to have a city mansion, it depends on where the city mansion is used. It's really dirty to try to harm people, but you are trying to make everyone better! Not the same! I really like you like this, you think a lot, and you are right! You are so smart! Your brain is the real brain, unlike me, I am simply a pig brain!"

Cheng Xi laughed "puchi", hugged Xia Yan, and said with pity: "You don't have to say that about yourself just to persuade me."

Xia Yan raised his head from Cheng Xi's embrace seriously, "I'm telling the truth!"

"Aren't you afraid of affecting the baby?" Cheng Xi asked intentionally.

Xia Yanji came to his heart and said: "Then you tell me more about this, and if I listen more, I might become smarter, and the little baby will become smarter as well!"

Cheng Xi knew that Xia Yan cared about him, so he lowered his head and kissed his forehead attentively.

With a bright smile on Xia Yan's face, he calmly finished the kiss and said, "I've finished talking about Chief Security Officer Song, what's next? Didn't you say that something big will happen soon? It must have something to do with the queen, right?"

Cheng Xi nodded. He had heard Xia Yan say that the queen might have participated in the persecution of Yueyao, so he asked, "What are your plans for the queen?"

Xia Yan showed hesitation, and said: "Of course I still want to avenge my mother, but time has passed, and my thoughts are different from when I treated Concubine Li. Now I will definitely not be able to take revenge directly with that simple and rude method. But the problem is that the queen must also have a way to clear herself of the crime. In that case, it seems impossible to take revenge in a proper way. I just... haven't thought about it for a while. What about you? What do you think I should do?" Expectantly Looking at Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi smiled emotionally, and said, "Finally, you will ask me what I think when something happens."

Xia Yan rolled his eyes and said vigilantly, "Are you mocking me?"

Cheng Xi shook his head and exaggerated: "I'm wronged! How dare I mock Madam!"

Xia Yan laughed, and Cheng Xi looked at him with relief for a while, then looked serious, and said: "Okay, let's get down to business. How to find out all the truth back then and take revenge on the Queen, I think that it was indeed a difficult problem at first. , but with the news from Song Yi yesterday, it became easier."

Xia Yan was stupefied when he heard that, recovered his senses and knocked on him, saying: "It's tricky again!"

Cheng Xi said: "It's not a secret, it's just that this matter is complicated and needs to be explained a little bit."

"Then tell me quickly!" Xia Yan hurriedly squeezed onto Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi asked the impatient man, "Do you still remember how Song Yisheng answered when you asked him if he had another prince?"

Xia Yan recalled for a while, "He said... To be precise, the Queen has it, but I don't know the gender."

Cheng Xi nodded, "He deliberately emphasized that 'the Queen has it', what do you think it means?"

Xia Yan was taken aback, "Isn't that the literal meaning?"

"I don't think so." Cheng Xi got up and walked to the side, "Didn't you notice? The holy dragon is obviously healthy, and there are not too few Junxiu in the harem, but why are there only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the eldest princess, the second prince, the third prince and others?" Apart from you, there is no other heir to the emperor? And why are you all so similar in age?"

Xia Yan frowned, and muttered to himself: "That is to say, more than 20 years ago, after the father gave birth to a wave of children, he suddenly stopped having children? Why? Well, I happen to be the youngest, and I was born by my mother. And mother... ah! Could it be that because mother disappeared, father and emperor were deeply attached to her, and his heart was ashamed for a while, so he no longer entered the harem?"

Cheng Xi turned around and looked at Xia Yan with a serious face and deep eyes, and said: "The thing is right, but the person is wrong."

Xia Yan was at a loss, "...What do you mean?"

Cheng Xi took a breath, "Yan'er, what I'm going to say next may be a bit scary, you have to be prepared."

Xia Yan was startled, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are actually not born to the Empress, the only one born to the Empress is the Eldest Princess." Cheng Xi said.

Xia Yan:! ! !

"Then, the prince's brother and the third brother..."

"They were conceived by the Holy One in ten months, and they were born by himself."

Xia Yan was dizzy with a "hum" in his head, and he jumped up from the stool and jumped towards Cheng Xi, "What did you say?!"

"Be careful!" Cheng Xi held down the panting man.

"What's going on? What's going on?!" Xia Yan grabbed Cheng Xi's arm, almost stunned.

"Don't be impatient."

Cheng Xi was afraid that he would be frightened so that his fetus would move, so he quickly pulled him to sit up, poured a glass of warm water for him to hold, and then continued.

"The matter is actually very simple, that is, outside the harem, the Holy One still has a confidant, and he is willing to lie down under that person as the son of heaven, and conceive and bear children for him."

Xia Yan's mouth was completely opened, "... who is that person?!"

Cheng Xi sighed, and said: "Liangzhou Daying Dutong, Yingwu Bo, former general Zhao Sheng."

Xia Yan:! ! ! ! ! !

He took a deep breath, he knew Cheng Xi would not lie to him, it must be true, but it was too...

After a long while, he finally calmed down a little, and asked in a low voice with his eyes wide open, "Then, do you know, Brother Prince?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it three years ago, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince probably didn't know about it yet." Cheng Xi said, "Actually, quite a few people in the imperial court and the harem knew about it, but because of His Majesty's intentions, everyone pretended not to know."

Xia Yan looked dull.

"So the question now is, the Holy Majesty has not considered adding an heir to the emperor for more than 20 years, why did he suddenly let the queen conceive at this time?" Cheng Xi continued.

Xia Yan blinked, and tried to say: "Pregnancy is quite random, maybe, for example, we didn't have it after thinking about it for so long, but suddenly we got it..."

"You forgot the premise, the Holy Majesty never hangs around in the harem." Cheng Xi emphasized, "Besides, the matter of the royal family's pregnancy is of great importance, and there must be no slightest casualness."

Xia Yan opened his mouth. Ever since he heard about Xia Zhao's background, he couldn't keep up. He said confusedly, "Then, what do you think is going on?"

Cheng Xidao: "In common sense, the empress is pregnant, and it took so many years to conceive again. It should be a great joyous event for the whole world to celebrate. It should be announced to the world and amnesty, but how did we actually know? It is through the secret letter of His Royal Highness, Song Yi also said that there are not many people who know about it at the moment, and the unknown swordsman will not be able to see the client for a long time after he goes to the capital. Think about it, even such a major event as murder and silence can be postponed, which shows the queen I must have encountered more urgent and difficult troubles. Combined with the attitude of the Holy Majesty towards the harem and the queen..."

Xia Yan held her breath and concentrated, always feeling that Cheng Xi was going to say something terrible.

Sure enough, Cheng Xi's expression turned back, his eyes showed sharpness, and he said with a final word——

"I suspect that the empress conceived is not the heir of the emperor at all, that's why Song Yi said 'accurately speaking, the empress conceived'."

Xia Yan shuddered all over, only feeling that he was about to lose his temper.
