Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

Xiao Zetian, that's the Crown Princess!

Ding Taifu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is doing well in her studies and studies for two extra hours every day."

Xiao Yao knew that the extra two hours were for teaching Xiao Zetian the Emperor's Technique!

Nodding, Xiao Yao said, "I won't disturb Grand Tutor Ding's lesson."

"Respectfully seeing off His Majesty, thank you, Your Excellency."

After the two men left, Grand Tutor Ding frowned slightly.

When he came to his senses, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Zetian, who was standing with his hands behind his back, was looking at him. "Your Highness, why are you out here?"

"I am preparing to pay my respects to His Majesty's aunt."

Grand Tutor Ding nodded.

"Grand Tutor, why did you frown just now? Is something on your mind?" Xiao Zetian asked, tilting his head back.

"this--"

Looking at Xiao Zetian, Grand Tutor Ding sighed inwardly. This Crown Princess had an extremely keen eye for detail. He had just thought of the disappearance of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and others many years ago.

Subsequently, Xiao Zetian was named Crown Princess.

Now that Your Majesty and Lord Xie have returned to the palace, if they have children in the future, will the throne be passed to Xiao Zetian, or to the child of Your Majesty and Lord Xie?

In short, Grand Tutor Ding had mixed feelings.

But the fate of the nation and the heir apparent will not be easily changed!

Moreover, the Xiao family's empire should, in principle, be passed down to the Regent and then passed down from generation to generation. However, the Regent has been diligently guarding the empire all these years and has shown no intention of ascending the throne.

As for the throne, he appointed his daughter as crown princess, but did not appoint his son as crown prince.

The Xiao family dynasty has been strange since the time of the retired emperor. The retired emperor had no attachment to the throne, and his descendants were even less so. It was unprecedented and unparalleled.

"Grand Tutor, just speak frankly," Xiao Zetian paused, his bright eyes looking at Grand Tutor Ding as if he could see through his thoughts, "Is it related to me?"

Grand Tutor Ding: "..."

"Grand Tutor, the Empress has returned. Does this mean I am no longer the Crown Princess?"

"Your Highness..."

Ding Taifu quickly interrupted Xiao Zetian, "Be careful what you say."

Looking at the little girl in front of him, she was a good student he had carefully nurtured for almost a year!

Who wouldn't want their students to eventually become the rulers of the world?

Once, the retired emperor whom his father had taught all became emperors, and he hoped that Xiao Zetian, whom he was teaching, would become a future emperor.

"Grand Tutor, you don't need to be nervous. I've heard about the Emperor's aunt and the Prince of Yue's aunt, as well as my father. I don't think the throne is that great."

Grand Tutor Ding was both amused and exasperated.

If the throne were not good, why would it attract heroes from all over the world to fight for it?

Grand Tutor Ding sighed, "Your Highness, it's best not to say these things again. You were established as the Crown Princess four years ago, and that position won't be easily changed."

If things are going to change, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Xiao Zetian nodded, already having his own ideas.

In the afternoon, when the Regent's carriage came to pick them up to return to their residence, Xiao Zetian chose to go to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor.

When Tang An saw Xiao Zetian, he was somewhat surprised and asked, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

"I wish to see Your Majesty, my aunt."

"Let me report."

"Go."

Four-year-old Xiao Zetian had his hands behind his back; in another month, they would be five years old.

After Tang An went to report, he soon came out and announced, "Your Highness, the Emperor commands you to go in."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

"The servant dare not."

Xiao Zetian, though small in stature, walked steadily inside.

As she got closer, she saw her aunt, the Emperor, and her uncle, Xie, at the imperial desk. Xie was grinding ink, while her aunt was reviewing memorials.

Upon seeing Xiao Zetian, Xiao Yao immediately put down her brush, then went over and picked him up. "Little Zetian, what brings you to your aunt's place?"

Xiao Zetian looked at Xiao Yao, and in her eyes, it seemed that she really liked him.

"Aunt, I've come to ask you a few questions."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yao was somewhat surprised.

She glanced at Xie Yun Chu; Little Nuomi had actually come to talk to her about something.

What could a child who is only four years old possibly say to her? So Xiao Yao listened attentively.

Xiao Zetian said frankly, "My father once said that on the day my four brothers and I were born, my aunt the Emperor, Lord Xie, my grandfather and others all disappeared."

Xiao Yao nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Xiao Yao didn't want to say anything more about it right now, as the child was too young to understand things like illusions and dreams.

Xie Yun Chu also brought over a stool, gesturing for Xiao Ze Tian to sit down.

The little guy climbed up the stool with both hands and sat down.

Xiao Yao sat down as well, looking at her. She really thought she was both cute and a little serious, just like her older brother, or rather, her father.

Xiao Zetian asked, "Your Majesty, back then, I only sat in the position of Crown Princess because of my father's order."

They all say that once the Emperor's aunt has her own child, I will no longer be the Crown Princess.

"Who said that?"

Xiao Zetian shook his head, "It's just those palace servants talking nonsense. I don't believe a single word of it."

Although she was only four years old, she also wanted to know what it felt like to sit on the throne in the Hall of Diligent Governance.

Xiao Yao held the little one in her arms. "Yes, don't believe a single word of it. No matter whether I have a baby in the future or not, as long as you wholeheartedly protect your younger siblings, you will always be the Crown Princess."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

Xiao Zetian nodded, "Then I will definitely study hard under Grand Tutor Ding and strive to become an emperor as powerful as my aunt."

"Your aunt isn't that great; you have to be even better than your aunt!"

"Yes, nephew will definitely try his best!"

Xiao Yao smiled with relief.

Xiao Zetian bowed respectfully, "Aunt, Uncle, Zetian will take his leave."

"Go."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Xiao Zetian bowed and withdrew, feeling a sense of relief.

Although she didn't quite understand what the Crown Princess was so proud of, many people said she was the heir apparent and the future emperor!

The Emperor is the ruler of this world!

After Xiao Zetian left, Xie Yun Chu said to Xiao Yao, "She's so young, yet she dared to ask you about this."

Xiao Yao hummed in agreement, then looked at Xie Yun Chu and asked, "What do you think? Do you think the same way I do?"

"Naturally, it's the same," Xie Yun Chu replied without hesitation.

This empire originally belonged to the Xiao family.

He would remember from beginning to end that Xie Yun Chu loved only Xiao Yao, not her status or position, and certainly not that her child would become an emperor.

The retired emperor and Ayao had no enjoyment or comfort in the throne, apart from the responsibilities they bore.

Xiao Yao hugged Xie Yun Chu back, burying her head in his chest, unaware of where her mother, father, and Uncle Rong had gone.

After leaving the Imperial Study, Xiao Zetian immediately went to find Jiaozi at the Regent's Palace and returned to the Regent's Palace with his younger brother.
