ex husband always trying to get me pregnant

Xia Yan frowned for a long time, still puzzled.

"The queen is fine, why do you want to do this kind of thing? This is going to be decapitated, and it may even implicate the family!"

"Of course there is a reason. You might as well think about it first, since the empress is already the supreme position in the harem, why should she fight with other gentlemen?" Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows.

"Because he is jealous? Or because he loves his father so much that he doesn't want to share it with others?" Xia Yan moved her feet unconfidently, always feeling that this was more like Concubine Li.

"You don't think it makes sense either." Cheng Xi began to redistribute the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said leisurely, "For so many years, the Queen has been indifferent to the world, and has almost never shown any signs of love or jealousy. The intense emotion shows that he has a deep scheming mind, is good at planning, and is extremely tolerant."

Xia Yan nodded slowly, agreeing: "Indeed, it can be seen from the matter of my mother."

"Then the question comes back again. What is he fighting for with all his scheming?" Cheng Xi looked at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan blinked, feeling that her mind was in a mess and she was going crazy.

"Tell me, I won't guess." He grabbed Cheng Xi's arm with an innocent look on his face, "It's a good thing I didn't participate in these, otherwise I would be the first one to be defeated!"

Cheng Xi smiled, touched the top of his head and said, "That's because you have greater wisdom, and you don't bother with such low-level intrigues at all." With a serious look, he brought the topic back, "Simply put, the queen wants to There are only two things to contend for: first, the future, and second, one breath."

Xia Yan was refreshed, but it was obvious that he didn't understand.

Cheng Xi explained: "In the past, he tried every means to win the post; later, he fought against Concubine Li Gui, and kept suppressing other Junxiu; not long ago, he revealed the information of his life experience to you, and through your hand, he gave it to Concubine Li Gui, the second concubine. The prince is a fatal blow. All these are for the purpose of stabilizing his position. Now, his position is secure, and then he has to think about the future." After a pause, Xia Yan was given enough time to think, and then said, "Those who are in the latter place, no matter whether they are born of the prince or not, will be the empress dowager or the maharajah in the future. However, looking at the historical data, most of the people who are respected by the emperor are not doing very well. "

Xia Yan immediately said: "I know this, because the emperor is worried about the separation of powers by the queen mother or the majesty, so he suppressed them!"

Cheng Xi nodded, "In recent years, the relationship between the Empress and His Royal Highness has been deteriorating, and he must be very worried about his future. Unlike Concubine Li, he has always disdained making small troubles, and he will draw salary from the bottom of the pot when he makes a move. You He said, is there any better way than replacing his real son on the future throne? But the Holy One won't give him the chance to conceive a dragon, so he can only..."

"Wait, wait!" Xia Yan interrupted Cheng Xi, and said incredulously, "Are you making up a story? Not stupid, he has never been lucky enough to be the queen, and the queen is pregnant, isn't this actively courting death?!"

"We don't know the details of the queen's pregnancy for the time being, and we don't care about it for the time being, but I always feel that he must have some way to deceive the past, and it may even be..." Cheng Xi hesitated for a while, and put aside his more terrifying guesses for the time being. Taking a step back, "Okay, let's assume that the Empress Dowager is indeed a dragon, and let's talk about his motives."

Xia Yan thought that this was almost the same, and raised her hand to signal him to continue.

Cheng Xi said: "The next step is very simple. His Royal Highness is now in a stable position. How can the queen make the child in her womb become a prince?"

"You have to make sure that he's carrying a boy first, if it's a girl, wouldn't everything be in vain?" Xia Yan couldn't figure it out, and muttered.

"It's said that there is a secret formula for conceiving a boy in Da Nei. I don't know if it works or not, but you need to know, you are too reasonable." Cheng Xi sighed helplessly.

Xia Yan was taken aback, raised his head and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Xi rubbed his face, and patiently explained: "Many times, planning should not be based on reason and certainty. For example, the Queen, if he waits until the child is born to know the gender before deciding whether to fight, he will miss it." The best timing. On the contrary, as long as he wins in the end, it doesn't matter whether he has a boy or a girl, or even whether he is born or not. Think about it carefully, but it is just a child who needs to be put on the throne and be manipulated by him to protect his future. , Where can't I find it? That's why we suspect that he is not carrying a dragon heir, after all, it is much easier to have a child than an emperor's heir."

Xia Yan couldn't help feeling cold behind his back.

"You really have a lot of problems in your little head." Cheng Xi smiled fondly at Xia Yan, "Let's not worry about this for now, and continue to speculate on the actions that the queen might take after she becomes pregnant. Tell me, what should he do to make his own What about the child becoming a prince?"

Realizing that he had changed the topic, Xia Yan was a little embarrassed, stuck out his tongue at Cheng Xi, and said, "It's simple, as long as the other princes can't be princes, that's fine!"

"That's right, but how will it be realized?" Cheng Xi smiled expectantly.

Cheng Xi pushed the chess pieces with his hands, divided them into four parts, and took one from each part, and motioned: "His Royal Highness, Second Prince, Third Prince, you."

Xia Yan looked at it, and suddenly he had a heart, and then, eight bloody characters rushed into his mind, and he blurted out in fear: "Kill each other, and the fisherman will benefit?"

"That's right." Cheng Xi nodded lightly, "Actually, before you returned to the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had fought several times, and the Empress played a role in it. Now that you are added, it is too much for the Empress. An opponent brings more troubles, but at the same time, many opportunities. For example, because of you, the second prince's family suffered heavy injuries, and his vitality was greatly injured, while His Royal Highness..." He lowered his eyes and their eyes darkened.

"Originally His Royal Highness had the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now that you and I have formed a relationship, if something really happens in the future, the Prime Minister's Mansion will probably abandon His Royal Highness and choose you. It's still the same sentence, no one can predict what will happen in the future I realize that even if we don't want to, we will work hard to maintain it, but in the eyes of others, this is a good opportunity to split, and the queen will definitely seize it." Sighed a little tiredly, "As for the third prince, he has a simple mind. , the Queen only needs to use a little tricks to get rid of him easily."

"Father won't allow it!" Xia Yan said seriously, "Among the four princes, he loves the crown prince brother and the third brother the most! I just heard you say that they were both born by my father. I finally understand why Already!"

Cheng Xi looked at him helplessly, and said succinctly: "Let's talk about the Queen's plan first."

"Hmm." Xia Yan, who once again lost his hair, quickly covered his mouth, nodded with blinking eyes, and said, "Then you mean that the Queen will find a way to defeat us one by one?"

"It's better to join forces to encircle and suppress one by one. Now is a good time." Cheng Xi pushed the second of the four chess pieces forward.

"Second prince?!" Xia Yan became nervous.

Cheng Xi nodded and guided, "Tell me about the current situation of the Second Prince."

Xia Yan sat upright, like a good student, and replied while thinking: "The second prince has enmity with me, and his power is not as good as before."

"Very good, you have said the two most important points." Cheng Xi praised, and then pointed to the first and third chess pieces respectively, "The person the second prince was going to deal with originally was His Royal Highness, and now you are added, even if Ignoring other things for the time being, he will definitely turn upside down with you two, not to mention that he is now in decline, and he must also worry about the future. So, what is a more permanent method than becoming a prince and then ascending the throne of emperor? "

"They all want to be emperor!" Xia Yan said in shock.

Cheng Xi nodded solemnly, "The current situation is very clear: the queen is going to make trouble, the second prince is going to make trouble, and the enemies are the same, if we can unite..."

"The empress and Concubine Li have been in the same situation all year round, and even indirectly killed her, how can the two of them cooperate?!"

"This is the difference between you and them. You said before that you should not only consider your position and interests, but also your heart when doing things, but for them, as long as there are interests, nothing is impossible." Cheng Xi said firmly, "First Cooperate, break up after achieving the goal, until the final winner is determined."

Xia Yan thought it was reasonable, nodded and said confusedly: "But now the second prince is in Huzhou, and the queen is in the capital, how can they cooperate?"

"Yan'er." Cheng Xi said deeply, "This is the end of the matter, don't you understand? Even if there are some people who can succeed in fighting for the throne with only words, they are a minority, and what is more is the cruelty of countless bloodshed and sacrifices." Fight, because only then can you win cleanly and thoroughly, and then you will have no worries."

Xia Yan was shocked, "You, you mean..."

He thought of it, but he didn't dare to say those two words.

So Cheng Xi said for him: "That's right, rely on force and use war to seize."

Xia Yan:! ! ! ! ! !

"As the king of the county, the second prince has a military force in his hand, and the family of Concubine Li Gui and the family of the Queen's mother also have some military power..."

"But in a peaceful and prosperous age..." Xia Yan stood up in disbelief.

"Look for a reason. The predecessors have already prepared countless ones for future generations to use at will." Cheng Xi showed sadness on his face, slowed down, and continued, "Once the war is revealed, the Second Prince will definitely target you first. On the other hand, the Queen will try every means to get His Highness the Crown Prince to lead the army, and then collude with the mother's family to harm His Highness the Crown Prince on the battlefield."

A few words were spoken very lightly, but Xia Yan was terrified when he heard them.

"Cheng Xi, you..." His lips trembled slightly, "Could it be that you are thinking too much?"

"I also think that I think too much." Cheng Xi sighed helplessly, "But Yaner, think about it, if you are the queen or the second prince, you may be slaughtered if you do nothing. How about you in the future?"

Xia Yan was startled.

"And to tell you the truth, I've been in the officialdom for five years, and I've made over a hundred judgments and decisions. I'm not bragging. It's true... none of them made mistakes."

Xia Yan's eyes widened in amazement.

"Maybe it's also a family tradition passed down from my father." Cheng Xi joked modestly, and then said, "Actually, there is another thing that has been bothering me before, but recently I have figured it out, figured it out Afterwards, it can be corroborated by a series of judgments just now."

"What's the matter?" Xia Yan asked anxiously.

Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows, "You and the second prince have such a deep hatred, why did your majesty demote you two together?"

"Oh, I've thought about this too!" Xia Yan said immediately, and then lowered her voice in frustration, "But I still can't figure it out."

"Then let's listen to my thoughts." Cheng Xi's eyes darkened, "To understand all this, you need to understand one thing first, that is, His Majesty does things that seem to be unintentional, but in fact they always have deep meaning. He thinks too far, and often The people below think that they are doing things themselves, but they are actually being led step by step by him."

Xia Yan nodded vigorously, Brother Ameng also said so!

"Now it seems that the Holy Majesty is obviously biased towards you in the matter of your assassination of Concubine Li. The second prince is extremely dissatisfied with this. The reason why the Holy Majesty punished him. Combined with the past, I dare to conclude that the Holy Majesty is very disappointed with the second prince, and demoting him to Huzhou is actually equivalent to exile."

"Is that exile for me too?" Xia Yan tilted his head.

"For you, I am more inclined to be a trial."

"Huh?" Xia Yan was at a loss.

"From your return to the palace to the present, I feel that many of the things His Majesty has done to you are trials. For example, this time, you and the second prince have become enemies anyway, and no matter where you go, he will not let it go. Let's see what you can fight." Cheng Xi paused, "And I think, the Holy One must believe in your heart that you will win, and expect you to win."

"How did you know?" Xia Yan felt that he was a little behind.

"One is because, as I said just now, the Holy Majesty has always favored you in this matter, and the other is because," Cheng Xi looked at Xia Yan seriously, and opened his mouth, "Me."

Xia Yan:! ! ! ! ! !

"The news of my recovery has been spread back to the capital. Why didn't the Holy Majesty call me back to the court? Don't forget, I have an official position, and I eat the king's salary and worry about the king's worries. The Holy Majesty will never really give me a salary at the same time." , let me talk about love with you here?"

Xia Yan gasped, he seemed to... understand a little bit.

"Father let you stay here, is, is to let you...help me deal with the second prince?!"

Cheng Xi nodded.

Xia Yan suddenly realized.

"And I always feel that it's not just this matter." Cheng Xi continued, "I always feel that the Queen's thoughts and plans are also under the control of the Holy Majesty. From the time he conceived to what we predicted just now, it might happen The series of things that happened, I am afraid that the Holy One intentionally allowed and facilitated it. The empress thinks she is a chess player, but in fact she is just a pawn. Otherwise, as you questioned just now, as the empress, she openly harbors It's a bit scary to have a child who is not the Holy One." After a moment's pause, he concluded, "I may not have predicted some details accurately and comprehensively, but the general direction should not be wrong."

Xia Yan was dizzy and paused for a while before saying, "Father... why did you do this?"

"Because he has to make sure that the final winner of this struggle is what he wants, and at the same time, he has to help that winner eliminate all potential threats in one fell swoop."

"Brother Prince..." Xia Yan murmured.

"That's right." Cheng Xi affirmed, "The Crown Prince has never thought of giving it to others. He has always experienced and helped His Highness the Crown Prince. And you and His Highness the Third Prince are also loved by the Holy One. He will find you Good home, and...so that you don't interfere with His Highness the Crown Prince, so His Highness the Third Prince has been raised for wealth and pleasure since he was a child, and you..."

"Matching you and me is also a kind of restraint?" Xia Yan felt that his mind was a little more open.

Cheng Xi nodded, "The Holy Majesty is very smart and understands Daddy very well. When others see the relationship between you and me, they probably can only think of splitting with His Highness the Crown Prince, but what the Holy Majesty thinks of is checks and balances. Daddy is the prime minister. Taifu, I am the crown prince's companion, your husband. In the future, the prime minister's mansion will be closely tied to you. If Dad wants the whole family to be safe and sound, he must do everything possible to maintain the stability of the court and ensure that His Highness the crown prince will be with you. There's nothing wrong with each other."

This time, Xia Yan understood completely.

"Now let's talk about the Empress." Cheng Xi slowly gathered the pieces on the chessboard, "He exhausted all his energy and calculations, and it seems that he is extremely respected in the harem, but in reality? What the Holy Majesty gave him was just a gorgeous but empty pistol. Chairs, he couldn’t get any of the things he really wanted. Maybe he had hoped for luck once, until one day, he completely woke up and knew that he would never have anything other than the word "queen" in his life. At any time outside, do you think he can not be angry, can he not think about robbing, or even taking revenge?"

Cheng Xi put the chess pieces back into the chess box, made a rattling sound, and then closed the box with a "snap", saying: "That's what I just said. Apart from fighting for a future, he also has to fight for his breath."

Xia Yan lowered his eyes with a heavy expression on his face.

"In the battle plan, the state of mind is the most important. It can be said that once the queen's thoughts and decisions are controlled by the breath in her heart, she is doomed to fail. The same is true for the second prince. Whether it is the way of fighting, or the tactics used to assassinate and poison us recently, as well as his usual temperament, he will undoubtedly lose." Cheng Xi asserted.

Shocked by such confidence, Xia Yan stared blankly at Cheng Xi for a while, but couldn't help hesitating and said: "I, I'm still a little worried, in case they are different from what you think..."

"Then go make it happen," Cheng Xi said.

"You mean to invite you into the urn? Isn't that a bit..."

Xia Yan was startled, always felt that this was deliberately designed by him before he did anything bad.

"Yan'er, you are too kind, and you have few things to do." Cheng Xi walked towards him and smoothed the hair next to his ear, "Actually, the urn has already been made, and they made it for themselves. What I call To make it happen is to raise the height of the urn, fill it with water, and put a fire under it."

Xia Yan frowned and looked at Cheng Xi, and murmured: "You are going to do so many terrible things!"

Cheng Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you think I'm broken now?"

Xia Yan shook his head vigorously, "You must be good! I firmly believe it! I also know that they are harmful to others, we are just resisting! Once I meet them, I will not be lenient! It's just that I heard such things all at once. It's a lot of things, a little, a little bit needs to be digested."

"Then digest it slowly." Cheng Xi pulled him to sit on his lap, and hugged him tenderly, "Actually, I could have told you nothing, but you said you wanted to know and grow."

"Yeah, that's right!" Xia Yan looked at Cheng Xi seriously, "Although it's complicated, you should know that I don't want to be stupid anymore. So what should we do now?"

"Search all kinds of clues about the queen and the second prince, and at the same time make full preparations in terms of people's livelihood and military affairs."

Cheng Xi spoke concisely, but Xia Yan knew it was not easy after thinking about it for a while.

However, Cheng Xi was full of confidence in his vows, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

After talking about a lot of serious business, Xia Yan was a little tired. Leaning on Cheng Xi like this, his mood eased a little, and he wanted to say something relaxed and at ease with him.

"Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi." He put his arms around Cheng Xi's neck, played with his hair, and called out in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xi pressed close to his nose.

"When you were talking about those serious things to me just now, did you feel that I was not your Yaner, but rather..." Eyeballs rolled.

Cheng Xi said with great interest: "What is it like?"

Xia Yan thought of it, clapped his hands and said, "It looks like your colleague!"

Cheng Xi was startled, and then understood: Xia Yan had always wanted to chase him, so he had such thoughts.

Cheng Xi shook his head and said, "It's not like that."

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, showing disappointment, but Cheng Xi continued, "Not like a colleague, but like a lord."

"Ah?!" Xia Yan's eyes lit up.

Cheng Xi put his arms around Xia Yan's waist, raised his head and said affectionately: "You are the lord, and I am your soldier. I will advise you and run around."

Xia Yan understood Cheng Xi's intentions, and smiled contentedly: "But I don't want to be a high-ranking lord, I want to do something myself. How about this, you will be the lord, and I will be your soldier. From today on, you will make arrangements. Task, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

"But I'm afraid I'll tire you and the baby." Cheng Xi stroked Xia Yan's slightly swollen belly.

"Then arrange a little less and pick some important ones!" Xia Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Hey." Cheng Xi sighed helplessly, stretched out his finger and scratched the tip of his nose, "You, I really want to grow up."

"Not only for myself, but also for the baby. I hope that not only Cheng Xi's father is powerful, but Xia Yan's father is also very powerful! Just like you look at your two fathers!"

Cheng Xi recalled his yearning and admiration for his father and father when he was a child, and immediately realized Xia Yan's heart.

After a while, Xia Yan's expression calmed down, he lowered his head against Cheng Xi's forehead, and said seriously: "Cheng Xi, I didn't realize until today that you and I have shouldered so many things together, including all your things. Family. You must have thought of it a long time ago, but you did not choose a more suitable wife who would not cause trouble, but insisted on choosing me, and your family members also chose me, I, I... "Strong Shaking his head, "I won't say any more words of guilt or gratitude, I can only work hard! I will also use my strength to protect you! Don't let you face those difficulties!"

"Then let me say thank you." Cheng Xi and Xia Yan shook hands.

Xia Yan pinched Cheng Xi's finger lightly, with a downcast expression, "Actually, even if what you just said happened, I wouldn't be too scared. The only thing I'm afraid of is the poison in your body!"

"It's going to be fine." Cheng Xi raised his head, pressing his lips against Xia Yan's lips, "I assure you once again, it will be fine, you have to trust me."

Xia Yan's heart was pounding, belief and apprehension coexisted.

It was almost noon, and strong sunlight came in from the window, reflecting on their bodies sitting and embracing each other, exactly matching Cheng Xi's name.
