The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

Nanny Fang's face looked very ugly, and her eyes were deep and complex, containing endless pity.

"My lady, have you remembered anything?"

Xie Yaoqing covered her forehead with both hands, tears streaming down her face like a broken dam. She kept muttering, "I don't know, I really don't know... My mind is in a mess."

"Tell me whether it is true or not, Nanny Fang. You have watched me grow up and have loved me the most since I was a child. Do you still want to hide the truth until now? I will remember everything sooner or later. I will definitely be able to recall it."

Nanny Fang sighed deeply, opened her mouth slowly, and recounted a long-forgotten story.

That was more than five years ago. At that time, Xiao Chengxu had not yet ascended the throne, and the battle for the throne had entered a white-hot stage.

The princes who were ambitious and eager to compete for the most respected position in the world, in the battle for the throne, used all their tricks, confronted each other, and used every possible means. They tried their best to defeat their competitors one by one to reduce the obstacles on their way to the top.

In the end, there were only two groups of people left, one was the Fifth Prince's faction headed by Xiao Chengxu, and the other was the Third Prince's faction headed by Xiao Chengji.

At this time, the outcome of the battle was already clear. The Third Prince's faction was almost wiped out, but the Third Prince did not admit defeat and surrender. Instead, he made a desperate move and spent a lot of money to hire a killer to assassinate Xiao Chengxu.

As the saying goes, "to catch a thief, you must first catch the king." If Xiao Chengxu met with an unexpected accident and he had no children, it would mean that there would be no successor to his lineage, and all the forces that followed him would collapse and disappear. In this way, those forces that supported him would inevitably seek other ways out, and the third prince could take the opportunity to expand his own power and ascend to the throne.

However, the Third Prince's wishful thinking ultimately failed. The assassin he hired was indeed powerful and did successfully injure Xiao Chengxu, but it only caused a certain degree of damage, neither crippling nor fatal. Xiao Chengxu was still alive and well, and won the final victory. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The Third Prince died of a sudden illness after being imprisoned for two years.

Originally, Xiao Chengxu might have really died, but at the critical moment, Xie Yaoqing stepped forward regardless of his own safety, blocked the fatal sword for him, and bought him a chance of survival.

But the price Xie Yaoqing paid was extremely heavy - she was seriously injured, and her body was extremely weak due to the serious injuries, and she eventually lost the baby in her belly who was less than two months old.

That was her and Xiao Chengxu's first child, and the only child they had so far.

Faced with such a devastating blow, Xie Yaoqing could hardly bear the shocking bad news and she fell into deep despair.

No matter how others comforted her, she kept blaming herself, thinking that she had failed to protect the child. If she had noticed the arrival of the child earlier and taken measures to protect it, if her body had been stronger, perhaps she could have kept her child.

Xie Yaoqing didn't want to blame Xiao Chengxu at first. Because he was her husband, the one she loved deeply. She was willing to protect him, fight side by side with him, advance and retreat together, share honor and disgrace, and everything was done willingly.

But reason is reason, emotion is emotion, Xie Yaoqing will inevitably transfer her anger to Xiao Chengxu. She blames Xiao Chengxu for fighting for that position. If he didn't fight for that position, he wouldn't fight to the death with the third prince, and she wouldn't lose their child.

During that time, Xie Yaoqing was immersed in the sorrow and pain of losing her child, and no matter who tried to persuade her, it was useless. Slowly, she began to become paranoid and crazy, mumbling all day long. All the doctors Xiao Chengxu found were unable to cure her, and they just said it was the result of mental illness.

As the saying goes, "Heart disease needs heart medicine." The doctors were powerless, but one day, Xie Yaoqing suddenly returned to normal.

Xiao Chengxu and the others were surprised to find that Xie Yaoqing had completely forgotten about losing her child. In her memory, the only thing left was that she had blocked a sword for Xiao Chengxu and had to rest for three months because of the injury. She had no memory of other things.

Perhaps the experience was too painful, so Xie Yaoqing chose to escape and forget. After all, it was a heartbreaking memory, and perhaps only by burying it deep in her heart could she find some peace.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengxu issued an order, requiring all those who knew the inside story to keep it strictly secret and never mention the matter of the child who died young in front of Xie Yaoqing again. He felt that they were still very young and would definitely have children in the future. By then, even if Xie Yaoqing herself remembered something, she would not be as painful as before.

Nanny Fang and others had witnessed the great pain Xie Yaoqing suffered from the loss of her child, so they all obeyed Xiao Chengxu's orders and silently guarded the secret.

Even when Ren Dong entered the palace for the first time to treat Xie Yaoqing, Nanny Fang specially informed Ren Dong in advance and warned her not to say anything inappropriate. After all, as a doctor, Ren Dong could see through Xie Yaoqing's real physical condition after diagnosis. If she accidentally said something that shouldn't be said and irritated Xie Yaoqing, it would be bad.

As for the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, Xiao Chengxu had reprimanded them all. Anyone who dared to leak the secret would be killed. No one dared to go against the emperor's will. Therefore, even if they had diagnosed something, they would keep silent and conceal it.
