After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Zhao Xianer's body suddenly stiffened. She realized in her heart that now that the words had been spoken, it would be extremely difficult to take them back!

She took a deep breath and continued with a trembling voice: "I beg the Queen to help Xian'er for the sake of the fact that she is pregnant with Brother Yanyi's child..."

When the queen heard this, her expression suddenly changed, her eyes full of shock and disbelief: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Xian'er knelt on the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string: "Please forgive me, Queen. That day, Brother Yanyi drank too much in the restaurant and couldn't help himself. Deep in my heart, I have long admired Brother Yanyi, so..."

"A few days ago, Xian'er felt uncomfortable when she woke up in the morning and vomited continuously. After the doctor's diagnosis, it was found that she was pregnant. It was Brother Yanyi's flesh and blood... I wanted to bury this matter deep in my heart to avoid causing trouble to the Queen and Brother Yanyi, but if my father's matter was not imminent, how could I have resorted to such a desperate measure..."

Zhao Xianer's sobs echoed softly in the bedroom.

The palace maids around held their breath and even breathed more lightly.

They were secretly surprised that Zhao Xian'er was so courageous. You know, most of those who intended to help Song Yanyi ascend to a high position disappeared quietly without leaving any trace under the Queen's clever planning.

Not only did Zhao Xianer successfully cling to the big tree of Song Yanyi, but what was even more shocking was that she was pregnant with his child!

At this moment, the bedroom was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. The queen's eyes were as cold as ice, staring straight at Zhao Xian'er: "Are you really pregnant with Yi'er's child?"

Zhao Xian'er's body trembled involuntarily. Although she clenched her fists to try to hide her inner panic, the sobs in her throat revealed her emotions: "Xian'er dare not deceive the Queen with such a big thing. If the Queen has any doubts, just summon the imperial physician to verify it."

The queen did not respond immediately. Her eyes were sharp, trying to find even the slightest hint of a lie on Zhao Xianer's face.

Zhao Xianer knew that the confrontation at this moment was more dangerous than any other time.

She raised her head bravely to meet the Queen's scrutinizing gaze, and her fingers hidden under her wide sleeves had unconsciously dug into her palms, leaving shallow marks.

The Queen did not immediately order the palace maid to summon the imperial physician. She knew in her heart that the Queen Mother's eyes were everywhere. Even if she sent her trusted imperial physician to examine the case, the imperial physician might be able to keep his mouth shut, but what about Zhao Xian'er?

Thinking of how Zhao Xian'er had stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace for a long time yesterday, obviously trying to please her, the Queen's eyes became even colder.

I originally thought that Zhao Xian'er was just a stupid person, but I didn't expect that she had learned to use this method to restrain herself!

The queen resisted the urge to punish Zhao Xian'er immediately, and said in a cold and hard voice: "Go back today and come to see me tomorrow. I will give you an answer then."

Zhao Xianer frowned slightly. Although she was full of doubts and uneasiness, she still nodded obediently and agreed: "Yes, sir."

The queen then ordered the palace maids around her to carefully escort Zhao Xian'er away and ensure that no news would leak out along the way.

It was not until Zhao Xian'er's figure completely disappeared from her sight that the Queen issued another order in a deep voice: "Send the Crown Prince to see me immediately!"

"Yes!" The palace maid responded, trotted out of the palace, and soon led Song Yanyi to come hurriedly.

"Mother, you summoned me urgently, but what's the urgent matter?" Song Yanyi's voice was filled with anxiety.

However, what greeted him was not his mother's sweet words, but a loud slap in the face.

The sudden pain caught him off guard. For a moment, he stood there, at a loss as to what to do.

The maid had only said that the queen had an urgent matter and did not reveal any details. He never expected to be hit like this as soon as he arrived in front of her.

Song Yanyi pursed his lips, turned his head, and said in a low and firm voice: "If this son has made any mistakes, it is only right for the mother to punish him. However, this son does not understand what has made the mother so angry. Please tell me clearly."

"What's going on between you and Zhao Xian'er!" The queen's voice was filled with anger and disappointment.

Song Yanyi's face darkened, and he had a bad feeling in his heart: "She came to see the Queen Mother today?"

"Indeed!" The Queen looked at him in disappointment, her tone full of reproach, "What did your mother warn you before? You must be cautious in every step and not allow any mistakes!"

"Now that the news of Zhao Xian'er's pregnancy is known to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, your position as Crown Prince will be in crisis!" The Queen's words were filled with worry.

Song Yanyi frowned, looking incredulous: "Zhao Xian'er is pregnant? How is this possible?"

He had clearly arranged for guards to secretly escort Zhao Xian'er home, and added saffron to her tea for several days just in case. How could Zhao Xian'er be pregnant?

"Has your Majesty asked the imperial physician to confirm it?" Song Yanyi asked, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

The queen sighed deeply, her expression full of helplessness: "How can I easily invite the imperial physician at such a sensitive moment? Ever since the queen mother regained control of the harem, my every move has been restricted. If I invite the imperial physician for no reason, it will only arouse the queen mother's suspicion, and then our situation will become even more difficult."

"Yier, you handled this matter too hastily. It may not be easy to remedy the situation." The queen's words contained some blame and some worry.

Song Yanyi remained silent, his face terribly gloomy. He had never expected that Zhao Xianer would run directly to the palace to complain to her mother. This was his negligence.

He looked up at the queen and tried to force out a comforting smile: "Don't worry, mother. I have my own way to solve this problem."

The Queen frowned, looking uneasy: "How are you going to solve this? Even if you deal with the child, Zhao Xian'er will definitely guess that it was us who did it, and the relationship between you two still cannot be concealed."

Song Yanyi clenched his fists tighter and tighter, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "If that's the case, she can't stay any longer."

The queen nodded slightly, and said resolutely: "First, check to see if she has mentioned this to anyone else. If so, deal with it all at once to avoid any future troubles."

"Remember, your actions must be clean and quick, leaving no traces behind."

The mother and son exchanged a look, and everything was said without words.

……

It was late at night and Cui Rong was concentrating on reading the battle report sent from the front line. Suddenly, a slight noise was heard outside the window.

She raised her eyebrows and stood up, pushing open the window. Seeing Feng Yang's heavy face, she couldn't help but put away her relaxed expression and asked seriously, "What happened?"

"Miss Zhao entered the palace today and informed the Queen of what happened with the Crown Prince, and...she claimed that she was pregnant." Feng Yang reported briefly.

Cui Rongrong's eyebrows showed a bit of surprise: "It's only been a short time, how come she is pregnant?"
