The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

The imperial doctors all smiled bitterly, crying in their hearts, but they could only do their best to treat the eldest emperor's grandson.

The queen was so angry that her heart ached and she scolded the crown princess.

The Crown Princess was wiping away tears as she was told this. She was even more upset as she watched. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright. Go to the small Buddhist temple at the back and kneel down."

"You'd better pray that Cheng'er is okay. Otherwise, I won't let you go even if you are my niece."

The Crown Princess was so frightened by the Queen's vicious and ruthless look that she cried even more.

He lowered his head and stammered, "I, I understand, mother. I will pray for Cheng'er in the small Buddhist temple and ask the Buddha to protect him and keep him safe."

Her weak and incompetent attitude annoyed the queen.

In the first place, the prince should not have been married to his niece from his natal family as his princess consort. Before she got married, she seemed fine, gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous.

Now that time has passed, it would be fine if I couldn't give birth to a legitimate grandson.

The crown prince died young, and Cheng'er also had a tragic fate and nearly lost his life.

The Crown Princess left not long ago.

Nanny Chun walked in, no smile on her face, anger in her eyes.

"My queen, we found out that it was the Second Prince's spies who drugged the horse, so the horse went crazy and trampled on His Highness the Grandson."

"It must be that Concubine Rou was tricked by the Empress this morning."

"The Second Prince was punished by the Empress to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for a month. He is demonstrating to the Empress and avenging himself on behalf of Concubine Rou."

The Queen rubbed her brows and said nothing: "Only the Second Prince took action?"

Nanny Chun nodded and said, "We checked several times and only found that the Second Prince's men did it. There is no sign of anyone else doing it."

Really?

Then why didn't Cheng'er get injured somewhere else, but just at the knee?

Is it such a coincidence that it happened?

The Queen was suspicious, so she asked Concubine Rou to punish Gu Yunyan. In the afternoon, her Cheng'er had both legs broken by a drugged and mad horse.

She had a hunch that Su Yuan might have been responsible for this.

......

The Third Prince's Mansion.

During dinner, Gu Yunyan ate a piece of food that Su Yuan picked for her, tilted her head and looked at him and asked, "A Yuan, did you make the eldest grandson's legs?"

Su Yuan did not deny it, but disgust flashed in his eyes.

The hand that was picking up the food paused for a moment, then replied nonchalantly: "I did it. What's wrong? Do you think I'm too cruel to a child?"

He seemed to be picking up some food, but he failed to pick it up after several attempts.

He kept stealing glances at her from the corner of his eyes. Under the table, his left hand, placed on his lap, began to unconsciously turn the Buddhist beads.

This is his usual nervous behavior.

Gu Yunyan picked up a piece of his favorite dish with chopsticks and smiled, "I don't think you are cruel."

"You did this to vent your anger on me. I should just be happy."

"Besides, we have a grudge against the queen. If we don't root out the grudge, it will grow again. So let it be."

The eldest grandson has always relied on the fact that he is the only son of the crown prince and the only grandson of the emperor, and is loved by the empress and the emperor.

Very bad temper.

If they were not satisfied with something, they would beat their subordinates to death.

The children of other officials were also bullied by him, and the sons of minor officials were even bullied to death, and there was no place to seek justice.

After all, he is the emperor's only grandson, a gold nugget and a golden egg.

Before the second prince and Su Yuan gave birth to the second grandson, no one could shake his position in the emperor's heart.

However, he will only lose his position in the future.

Gu Yunyan lowered her eyes slightly, looked at her temporarily flat belly, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Su Yuan ate the food she picked for him, looked at her smiling face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Full of tenderness.

The couple ate, drank and slept well, but the Second Prince was dragged as a scapegoat for no reason and took the blame, so angry that he couldn't sleep.

The queen complained to the emperor.

The emperor immediately summoned the second prince into the palace and gave him a severe scolding in the imperial study.

"Is this what you do to your nephew!?"

The Second Prince: "?? Father, what are you talking about? I don't understand, please explain."

Could it be that he heard that his eldest nephew had his legs broken by a horse?

I will be unable to walk in the future. What if my father finds out that I laughed and drank in the study to celebrate?!

The emperor just thought he was pretending.

"You have a cruel heart!" He picked up the precious inkstone beside him and threw it at him. The second prince was thinking about something and was hit on the chest without paying attention.

He immediately hunched over in pain.

He covered his heart with his hands with a grim face, forced himself to swallow the fishy-sweet taste rising in his throat, and knelt down, respectful and fearful.

"Father, calm down."

"Please tell me what I did wrong, and I will correct it. Father, please don't get so angry that your dragon body will be damaged."

"You can't tolerate a child of a few years old while I am still alive."

The emperor put his hands behind his back, his eyes were full of seduction, "How dare I entrust the country of Daqi to you?"

The second prince looked up suddenly.

He was ecstatic inside, and the second sentence kept echoing in his ears. As for the first sentence, he didn't take it seriously.

He is the heir chosen by my father!

What could Su Yuan use to compete with him? Even if he was the legitimate son and married Gu Yunyan, it would still not be favored by his father.

His feminine face showed a hint of pride because of overjoyed.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold and stern aura continued to spread outward. He said in a deep voice: "Go kneel outside the palace!"

Second Prince: “??!!”

He recalled what he had just heard and said hurriedly, "Father, it is not my fault that Cheng'er's legs were broken by the horse."

"I have no idea. Someone must have framed me!"

"Please give me a chance, I will find the person who harmed Cheng'er and avenge him!"

"Get out and kneel down!" The emperor frowned, turned a deaf ear, and just shouted.

The second prince was choked up and could only walk out of the imperial study in frustration and kneel on the stone slab outside for the entire afternoon.

He didn't drink a sip of water and didn't eat a grain of rice.

Two hours later, it was dark and we were still not allowed to get up.

It was not until late at night that the eldest grandson woke up from his coma and was temporarily out of danger, and the emperor's chief steward came out.

"Second Prince, the Emperor asked you to get up and leave the palace. You will kneel again tomorrow morning."

Under the light of the bright yellow palace lantern, half of the Second Prince's face was hidden in the shadows, while the other half that was revealed looked sinister and creepy.

He knocked his head heavily and shouted loudly: "Thank you, father, for your grace."

After shouting this, he stood up with the help of the guard, his legs were sore, painful and numb.

He gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort, and walked out with stiff legs.

When he returned to his house, he immediately called his favored concubine to vent his anger, which had nowhere to vent.

Early the next morning.

Su Yuan got up, washed and prepared to attend the morning court. Gu Yunyan rubbed his eyes and opened them blurryly.

I got up too.

"Why are you up?" He asked gently while tying his belt. "Go back to sleep. I'll come back and have dinner with you."

Gu Yunyan was wrapped in a brocade quilt and was tangled: "A Yuan, is it really okay for me not to go to the palace to visit the eldest grandson?"
