Prince Ling, Zhao Zhuoran, is the sixth brother of the current emperor and a biological brother from the same father and mother.

The first time Jiang Jiu saw him, he thought he was handsome and gentle like jade.

There was no apparent difference between him and other princes, yet he was called the Cripple Prince, and he had lost the qualification to compete for the throne since birth.

It was not until later that they discovered that the so-called crippled king was just a person with an extra finger on one of his hands.

Born with six fingers.

From a modern perspective, this is nothing, yet he is still called the Cripple King.

It's somewhat unfair to Zhao Zhuoran.

However, he grew up with this unfairness, and he also suffered a lot of unfair treatment afterwards.

First of all, since he was young, he has been trying his best to do his best in his studies, even though he is very smart.

But what’s the use!

When he grew up, he was still an idle prince.

The emperor's eyes either fell on the prince or on the most beloved Xiaojiu.

Later, the crown prince died, and the emperor chose an heir from among many princes.

Even if the eldest son is useless, his father-in-law's family will still help him get him.

The ninth brother was just a child, but the emperor also paid a lot of attention to him.

Only he, who was also a prince and had extraordinary talent, was ignored by everyone like an invisible man.

Even his queen mother ignored him, and sometimes even looked at him with pity.

It would be great if he wasn't a crippled king.

Zhao Zhuoran stared at his hands countless times. He really couldn't understand. It was just a few extra fingers, so why was he called the Cripple King?

******

Zhao Zhuoxi returns to the capital to investigate his mother's death.

Together with Jiang Jiu, he avenged his mother.

He defeated the Zhou family and blew up the queen, but he didn't expect that in the end, the person who would become his enemy would be his sixth brother Zhao Zhuoran, who had always taken good care of him.

When Zhao Zhuoran returned to the capital, according to the royal ancestral system, he was only allowed to bring 500 personal followers with him.

The 50,000 troops brought back were stationed in the suburbs of Beijing.

This means that once something happens in the capital, Zhao Zhuoran can lead his troops to attack the city in minutes.

Lu Ming followed Zhao Zhuoxi back to the palace and reported the situation of the Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran in detail.

Zhao Zhuoxi felt a little uneasy.

"Where are our soldiers?"

Lu Ming replied, "They have been dispersed and settled in various businesses. We have taken back the business rights of Yiye Pianzhou. Now all the businesses are ours."

Zhao Zhuoxi nodded slightly: "If anything happens, just defend the city gates. Liang Liuge won't dare to act recklessly."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the palace with the princess..."

Zhao Zhuoxi wants to be with the emperor. Let's see how Zhao Zhuoran responds.

In the capital, the security is handled by Zhao Zhuoxi's people, and the military department of the Ministry of War is also under Zhao Zhuoxi's control.

The palace and the guards are his people, as well as the people scattered in various shops.

The 30,000 elite soldiers he trained in Su City are now in the capital. They can respond to a call and will definitely defend the capital like an iron barrel.

Early in the morning, when Jiang Jiu got up, he felt uncomfortable all over and lazy. He lay in bed and didn't want to get up.

Zhao Zhuoxi practiced kung fu to return the favor, and seeing Jiang Jiu still sleeping, he came to the bedside worriedly.

"What's wrong? Why don't you get up? Are you sick?"

Jiang Jiu turned over, hugged Zhao Zhuoxi's arm, but closed his eyes.

"I'm not sick, I'm just too lazy."

Zhao Zhuoxi chuckled: "Then continue to sleep, it will be fine if you wake up anyway."

At this moment, the maid Chunhua hurried over from outside and said excitedly, "Princess, aren't you going to get up? I heard that Prince Ling is returning to the capital today, and the Emperor has personally come out of the city to greet him. What a grand ceremony."

Jiang Jiu then opened his eyes.

"Is Lao Liu back?"

Zhao Zhuoxi nodded slowly: "You should get up too, pack up, and let's go into the palace to greet Sixth Brother together."

Jiang Jiu stood up, his brows full of worry: "If he brings the troops back, will it have any impact on you?"

Zhao Zhuoxi nodded honestly: "Yes, so, we will live in the palace."

Jiang Jiu understood that Zhao Zhuoxi was using the emperor as a threat, so even if Zhao Zhuoran made any move, he would not dare to touch the emperor.

Besides, everyone in the palace now belongs to Zhao Zhuoxi.

Even though he had to go to the palace, Zhao Zhuoxi still summoned the imperial physician to see Jiang Jiu.

The imperial physician took Jiang Jiu's pulse through the bed curtains for a long time, and just when Jiang Jiu thought he had some serious illness.

The imperial physician stood up and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! The princess is pregnant..."

ah? this……

Jiang Jiu put his hand on his lower abdomen and looked at Zhao Zhuoxi in surprise.

Obviously, Zhao Zhuoxi was also confused, and looked silly with his mouth wide open.

"What did you say? The princess is pregnant?"

The imperial physician nodded solemnly: "The princess is weak and it is extremely difficult for her to get pregnant. Even if she got pregnant this time, it was still very difficult. I will prescribe a medicine to help the princess to maintain the pregnancy. Take good care of the baby and it will recover slowly."

After sending the imperial physician away, Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Jiang Jiu happily.

Suddenly, she felt like a porcelain doll and I didn't dare touch her.

Jiang Jiu found it ridiculous to see Zhao Zhuoxi at a loss.

"It's just pregnancy, you don't dare touch me."

Zhao Zhuoxi pulled Jiang Jiu and held her in his arms.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that you would have my child. God is so kind."

Jiang Jiu laughed and punched him: "What does this have to do with God? It's the result of your hard work."

Zhao Zhuoxi works so hard every day. As long as the soil is fertile, seedlings will grow sooner or later.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhuoxi panicked. Since Jiang Jiu was pregnant, everything had to focus on her and the child, but his plan...

Zhao Zhuoxi called Lu Ming over and said, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. The princess is pregnant, so peace is the most important thing."

Lu Ming was also surprised after hearing this. They originally planned to lock the gates of the capital and capture Zhao Zhuoran after he entered the palace.

Now that the princess is pregnant, their strategy has to change.

"Will the prince still enter the palace?" Lu Ming asked.

"Go in. The palace is the safest place. Besides, isn't there a secret passage in the palace?"

After Zhao Zhuoxi discovered the secret passage under the palace, he had it modified.

It leads directly to Jiang Jiu's villa outside the capital. If something happens, they can leave the capital through the secret passage and return to Jiang Jiu's villa.

The explosives that were previously placed in Jiang Jiu's villa have now been repaired. There are still explosives and artillery stored there, which are enough to protect them.

Zhao Zhuoxi took Jiang Jiu in a carriage and entered the palace.

When he saw the emperor again, Jiang Jiu found that he had grown old again. He was obviously just Zhao Zhuoxi's elder brother, but he seemed like his grandfather.

Yes, this royal brother is thirty years older than Zhao Zhuoxi.

The Queen's palace was still under renovation, and people from the Ministry of Works were coming and going, being monitored by the Imperial Guards.

Zhao Zhuoxi and Jiang Jiu were not too arrogant. They still met the emperor first according to etiquette.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was walking with the virtuous concubine in the imperial garden.

The virtuous concubine was holding her belly, she was already more than seven months pregnant.

After meeting the emperor, Zhao Zhuoxi took Jiang Jiu to live in his mother's courtyard again.

Jiang Jiu sighed when he saw the virtuous concubine beside the emperor.

"The Queen and the Crown Prince were both killed in the explosion. I thought the Emperor would be sad for a long time, but I didn't expect that there would be a new person around him so soon..."
