C234 (2/2)

Senior Servant Gui looked at Situ Lan, who was emanating killing intent all over, and knew what she was thinking. She was shocked and looked towards the palace maids in the room, gesturing for them to leave.

The palace maid took the hint and left, closing the doors of the Magnificent Jewel Palace.

”Esteemed Empress, you've wronged Crown Prince on this matter. Shangguan Jingyan actually became pregnant with a vile child behind his back. Say, who do you think is worthy of our Crown Prince? How can he be the future generation of a country? ”

Senior Servant Gui raised her head, a fierce killing intent in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and spoke.

Shangguan Jingyan actually didn't know how to react, and dared to blatantly do such a vile thing, simply disgraceful.

If the Crown Prince did not find out in time, and if she had not mixed up the dragon veins, then the Jiang Shan of the Dongfang family would have …

Situ Lan heard and frowned slightly. She pulled Dongfang Chen up from the ground and gently wiped the blood off his forehead.

”Chen'er, I'm sorry. The Queen Mother should not blame you without asking clearly. ”Does it still hurt?”

Facing Situ Lan who was emitting such a motherly love, Dongfang Chen actually felt unwell for a moment, and turned his head away uncomfortably.

He was still used to the cold empress with only benefits and no humanity in her eyes.

Ever since he was young, the empress had always been cold and indifferent. He had to obey every word she said and never dare to retort. Even his feelings were the same.

Until he met Bai Zhixi and Shangguan Jingyan, when his mother told her that no matter who he loved in his heart, he had to choose Shangguan Jingyan.

He then listened to his mother's words. Although he did not have any love, he was determined to marry Shangguan Jingyan.

The Queen Mother said that Grand Commandant Shangguan held a mysterious power in his hands, and as long as the Life Binding Queen Shangguan Jingyan had chosen and tightly held Shangguan Jing in his hands, the world would be unified soon.

But in his view, Bai Zhixi should be the Phoenixis Maiden, the person who helped him to unify the world.

But when he thought that Bai Zhixi would definitely love him like other girls, he didn't think that the person Bai Zhixi would like would actually be that sickly prince who hadn't left the palace in ten years.

He was unwilling, but Bai Zhixi loved him resolutely.

Suddenly, he thought about how Jun Mohan wouldn't live past eighteen years old and he might still have a chance.

But just as Jun Mohan was about to turn eighteen, Hua Wuxie's appearance had destroyed his plan. Jun Mohan and Bai Zhixi seemed to have disappeared from the world, no matter how many people he sent out, he could not find any trace of the two of them.

He thought that perhaps Jun Mohan was already dead, and Bai Zhixi was just hiding at some place and crying with sorrow. If time went on for too long, he would forget about Jun Mohan.

At that time, he would have ways to make her marry him obediently.

When he went back to look for Shangguan Jingyan, she actually wasn't willing to return the capital with him. At that time, he had thought that it would only take a few days for Shangguan Jingyan to settle the matter between him and Ye Luoli.

He did not expect that she would be so deceitful, fusing with others, harboring evil intentions.

In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Situ Lan looked at Dongfang Chen's face, which now had a trace of ferocity on it that he had never seen in the past, and his eyes were filled with indifference, as though they were bottomless chasms, causing people to tremble.

His heart suddenly trembled a few times as the corners of his mouth curled up in a perfect curve in satisfaction.

Maybe she should let go.

”Imperial Mother, this son knows that you have put in a lot of effort. This son will definitely not let you down. Right now, Grand Commandant Shangguan was unable to move. This son still needed his support. As for Shangguan Jingyan, the date of the marriage has not been set yet.

Blood recklessly flowed down from his forehead, dyeing his snow-white robe red. His ice-cold eyes that contained a killing intent slightly moved, and his entire body exuded an irresistible king-like aura.

”Chen'er, it's not a waste for you to have such a soul. After all these years of nurturing you.”

A trace of venomous fierceness flashed across Situ Lan's eyes, and his face hung a light yet graceful smile.

If she hadn't been so heartless and heartless back then, the mother and child probably wouldn't have been the ones to be called the tyrant of the harem.

”Mother, I heard that royal father is not feeling well, so I wanted to go visit him.”

A few days ago, Dong Aoqing suddenly fainted in the main hall early in the morning, but the imperial hospital was unable to find the cause of it, and could do nothing about it.

Just then, the wandering Great Master Pu Hai suddenly came to the palace. It was said that the empress dowager had invited him to come and visit for Dong Aoqing.

Five days ago, Dong Aoqing suddenly drew up a will to succeed the throne and handed it to Master Pu Hai, who then left the Eastern Palace and brought along the will.

On the second day, Eunuch Lin personally ordered Dong Aoqing to hand over the matters of the court to the eighth prince. All ministers must fully cooperate with the eighth prince and must not have any second thoughts.

The moment he said this, the court went into an uproar.

According to legend, the successor of the throne was not necessarily a gentle and elegant one. It was very possible that the Crown Prince with the disposition of a commoner was the eighth prince who had gained the heart of an emperor in the recent months and was loved and respected by the commoners.

In recent days, the eighth prince's mansion had become particularly lively. Many ministers had gathered around the eighth prince's mansion to greet him. It seemed as if the eighth prince's mansion's threshold had been stepped on a bit lower.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly changed, many of the ministers were stirred up, secretly guessing Dong Aoqing's holy will, and the battle for the throne was pushed to the surface.

Seeing that the imperial court was at a loss, Situ Lan left by himself and headed to the Xi Liang Nation overnight. He personally ordered Dongfang Chen to return to the capital.

”Chen'er, your royal father is already old, and I should have passed on the throne to you long ago.

Situ Lan's expression became even colder, like the winter ice. The tense atmosphere in the room was suffocating.
