After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Chapter 550: The Baby King of Xiang

Li Shiliu and Nanyang Yao never paid much attention to the subsequent life trajectory of Tong Wenjie and Tong Wenyu. After all, with their abilities, it was impossible for them to stir up trouble.

It would be enough for them as long as they could preserve a trace of blood for the Tong family and avoid the tragic end of the Tong family, the emperor's maternal family, being cut off from descendants.

At this moment, what Li Shiliu and Nanyang Yao were more concerned about was that Emperor Jiade suddenly appointed the twenty-seventh prince, who was only a few months old, as the King of Xiang, and ordered him to go to the fiefdom to take office after he was crowned.

You know, the three legitimate princes born to the three queens have all died, and among the remaining twenty or so princes, none of them has performed particularly outstandingly.

As a result, it became increasingly unclear who would become the crown prince, causing many ambitious princes to be unable to suppress their inner restlessness and to be eager to try.

Although the twenty-seventh prince was still just a hungry baby of only a few months old, his biological mother was one of the four concubines, and his background was already outstanding among the remaining princes.

In addition, the 27th prince is obviously loved and doted on by Emperor Jiade. If he can grow up safely and healthily, he may be able to participate in the fierce battle for the throne in the future.

However, what was unexpected was that Emperor Jiade unexpectedly granted the title of vassal king to this beloved little prince so early, and clearly stated that the 27th prince would go to the fiefdom to take up his post after he came of age.

Is this a retreat from the rapids?

Everyone racked their brains but could not figure out what the emperor was trying to do, but they soon put the matter behind them. After all, for the emperor's other princes, having one less highly competitive and potential rival was undoubtedly something to be secretly thankful for.

After the Emperor appointed the 27th prince as the King of Xiang, he not only generously allocated the vast and rich land of Xiang and Chu to him as a fief, but also specially dispatched Yang Wenyu, the former companion of the Second Prince and known as the "First Young Master of Yuanjing City", to serve as the Prime Minister of Xiang, and ordered him to take office as soon as possible.

Once this news came out, it was like a huge rock falling into water, instantly causing an uproar in the capital and breaking countless women's hearts.

However, facing so many broken hearts, Yang Wenyu turned a blind eye. He even sent a visiting card to Li Shiliu, the Princess of Sheng'an, and took the initiative to request a meeting.

Completely ignoring the uproar in the outside world, Yang Wenyu continued to do his own thing, gently waving a folding fan in his hand, looking leisurely and calm, sipping tea calmly.

At this time, Li Shiliu, who was pregnant and about to give birth, was bloated like a slow-moving fat duck. She struggled to hold up her huge belly, staggered, and staggered into the reception room.

When Yang Wenyu saw Li Shiliu with a belly as big as a basket in front of him, a trace of emotion and astonishment that was difficult to conceal finally showed on his usually calm face.

"Princess Sheng'an, the father of the child in your belly is..."

After he couldn't help asking, Yang Wenyu smiled in relief after a moment and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving Yuanjing City soon anyway, I just want to see you before I go. What's the use of knowing it?

It’s not mine anyway.

Of course, it is even less likely to be Tong Wenjie's."
