Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Without waiting for the Second Prince to speak, Baili Chuyuan continued:

"Originally, I didn't know about this, and you and your mother could still live safely in the palace.

But in order to get revenge on me, your father told me in person that he had cheated on me, and I even raised his son for him.

He also claimed that your mother was just a tool of his and that he had never loved her.

When your mother found out, she was disheartened and confessed everything she had done. She wanted to die and asked me to spare you and her family.

Later, she set herself on fire in the palace. But you knew that your mother's palace was flooded, so you insisted on going in to save her and ended up getting burned yourself. "

After hearing this, the Second Prince was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while, he murmured, "Impossible, this is impossible! Father, you are lying to me, you must be lying to me!"

The emperor sighed and said, "Why should I lie to you? I wanted to keep this a secret forever, but you are so persistent, I don't want to hide it from you anymore."

The second prince shook his head frantically, tears flowing freely:

"No, I don't believe it. This is not true! I don't believe my mother is such a person. I don't believe that I am not your son!"

At this time, Baili Ye and Qinghe on the side also showed astonishment on their faces. They did not expect things to develop to this point.

The emperor slowly stood up and walked in front of the second prince:

“It’s come to this, there’s no point in saying more.

In the past, I thought of you as an innocent child and you had been disfigured, so I didn't want to kill you.

It just so happened that the abbot of Hua'an Temple came to the palace and said that he had a connection with you, so he took you back to Hua'an Temple to take care of you."

The second prince widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and shouted in grief and anger:

"Then why did Father keep it secret from me? He made me live in hatred and misunderstanding for so many years!"

The emperor sighed:

"I wanted to wait until the time was right to tell you the truth about this matter. But I didn't expect that you would embark on the path of treason and make a big mistake."

The second prince suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was filled with despair and sadness:

"Hahahaha, it turns out my whole life has been a joke!"

After saying that, he stood up suddenly, broke free from the guards, and rushed towards the pillar beside him.

"The Second Prince!" everyone exclaimed.

However, it was too late, the second prince's blood dyed the floor of the imperial study red.

The Second Prince no longer felt unwilling. He looked at Qing He and Bai Li Ye and asked in confusion:

"There's one thing I don't understand. Princess Chen, can you tell me how I was brought back to the capital?"

Qinghe moved his mind, and a dagger appeared in his hand, and then the dagger disappeared again.

The second prince looked at this scene with a look of disbelief. Although he was surprised, he finally accepted this fact.

With a distorted expression on his face, the second prince spat out another pool of blood, "Father, I'm sorry, I was wrong." After he finished speaking, the second prince fell to the floor of the imperial study.

The emperor closed his eyes, looking painful: "Bury him properly."

The atmosphere in the imperial study was heavy and depressing. The emperor sat on the dragon throne for a long time without moving.

"Yer, He girl, you have worked hard today, go back first."

Baili Ye and Qinghe looked at the tragic scene in front of them with mixed feelings. They silently left the imperial study.

After the two left the imperial study, Qing He's eyes were full of compassion, and he said softly:

"This ending is too tragic. The Second Prince is also a pitiful person."

Baili Ye sighed slightly: "Fate plays tricks on us, but he is so resolute, it's really sad."

“Speaking of which, my father is truly kindhearted, to the point of tolerating his woman carrying his child on her back.

Doesn't the royal family value pure bloodline? Why did father keep her here? "

Baili Ye said in a deep voice:

“I don’t know the specific situation, but it seems that the Queen Mother felt that the child was innocent. Besides, the Second Prince was also disfigured at the time, so he had lost the right to compete for the throne and was no longer dangerous, so she decided to let him have the identity of a prince and become an idle prince!

I just didn’t expect that he could heal the wound on his face and even think about seizing power.”

Qing He stopped and looked at Baili Ye solemnly:

"Aye, even though the Crown Prince and you are brothers, how much can family affection be worth in front of the throne? The Second Prince's incident is a lesson for us."

Baili Ye frowned slightly, "Xiao He, don't worry too much.

My father has always expected my elder brother and me to be the crown prince and I to guard the border. This is the common expectation of us as brothers from the same mother.

Besides, I have no desire for the throne, I just want to live a peaceful life with you."

Qing He shook her head gently. "That being said, others may not believe it. Now that the Second Prince is gone, the Emperor only has you two brothers left. It is inevitable that someone will interfere and stir up trouble."

Baili Ye held Qing He's hand and said, "He'er, I will be careful and not fall into other people's traps. But I also believe in my elder brother's character. He should be able to distinguish right from wrong."

Qing He sighed, "I hope so. The struggle for the throne in the royal family has always been extremely cruel. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

Baili Ye embraced Qing He in his arms, "Xiao He, don't be afraid. No matter what, there will be no quarrel between big brother and I."

Qing He leaned in Baili Ye's arms, "Okay, I believe you."

Baili Ye stroked Qing He's hair gently, "Let's go back home."

"No, let's go to the pharmacy. It's winter now, and I asked the pharmacy to prepare some medicines that will be used in winter. Let's go and see how they are doing."

"Okay, let's go."

The two walked hand in hand to the pharmacy, which was filled with the mixed smell of various herbs.

When the medical officer in charge saw them, he hurried forward and saluted.

Qing He asked, "How is the preparation of the medicine for Dong Ri going?"

The medical officer replied respectfully, "Princess, most of them have been prepared, but there are still a few that are still in the final stages."

Baili Ye and Qinghe began to check the prepared medicines.

Qing He picked up a bottle of ointment for preventing frostbite and asked, "Did you follow the instructions for the ointment formula?"

After carefully examining the color and texture and sniffing it gently, a refreshing fragrance emanated from it. This was the scent of space herbs.

The doctor hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Princess. All of them are made strictly according to the recipe you gave us."

Qing He nodded and said, "Yes, this is the taste. How many bottles of frostbite ointment do you have now?"

The medical officer replied, "Princess, three thousand bottles have been made so far."

Qinghe frowned slightly:

"The quantity is still a little small. Soldiers are very susceptible to frostbite in winter. We need to speed up the process. At least 5,000 bottles should be prepared."

Baili Ye also nodded in agreement: "He'er is right. The most troubling thing for soldiers in winter is frostbite. It's always good to be more prepared."

The medical officer quickly responded, "Yes, I will give the order right away and have them speed up the production."
