Adoption brings disaster

It's time for Xiaotao to be rescued. Er, Wuxin, Qingyu and the others are all smart. They wanted to hide it from me, but it's impossible for them to hide it for three to five years, but it won't be discovered by me in such a short time.

It is very cruel to treat Xiao Tao's madness. Seeing her in so much pain, I feel very sad.

If you want Xiaotao to regain her consciousness, you can only use desensitization therapy and keep taking medicine to make Xiaotao regain her consciousness. However, after Xiaotao regains her consciousness, she will be driven crazy again by the incident of eating Chunyu's child within two hours.

This cycle repeats over and over again, until Xiaotao regains her sanity and becomes crazy again, until she accepts this cruel thing, and then she will no longer be crazy.

This kind of treatment is naturally very cruel, and it makes me feel very distressed when I see it.

But I also know that there is no way around it. She has to get through it on her own. All I can do is stay with her. There is nothing else I can do.

I couldn't bear it, so I went to hide somewhere else with Qingyu on the pretext of finding out what was going on.

According to Qingyu, Xiaotao was interrogated in a private prison in the Minister's Mansion. It was pitch dark and she didn't know the difference between day and night, so Xiaotao was particularly afraid of the night.

So now, whenever it gets dark, Xiao Tao will run around in fear, and because she is too scared, even the best sleeping pills can't make her sleepless. The only thing she can do is light more lanterns at night to make the house brighter. Xiao Tao feels better now.

Xiao Tao is relatively quiet during the day. She just sits in the corner in a daze or sleeps soundly all day.

At this time, I have to go back to the palace to see my two children. After all, I am the father of two children. Although I no longer have the strong fatherly love I had before, I still cannot ignore them.

It is said that these two children have Chongguang's favor and live a very comfortable life in the palace. In fact, whether I go to see them or not has no big impact on them.

But he is my child after all, so I have to be polite to him. Otherwise, these mean-spirited people might think that I don’t like him, and who knows what trouble he might cause.

Especially since there were so many people serving the two princes, there were more than ten wet nurses alone, not to mention the hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs serving them.

With so many servants, it is inevitable that some of them will be cunning. Therefore, every time I return to the palace, on the one hand, I have to express my attitude, and on the other hand, I have to use both kindness and power to make these servants take care of me wholeheartedly.

Actually, I don’t have to worry about these things. Chongguang has considered them all carefully.

For example, since I was away from the palace for a long time, Chongguang moved the two children's bedrooms to the imperial study, and separated out a small room in the imperial study for the two princes to live in.

It is even euphemistically called that governing a country requires thoroughness and that one must be influenced by it from childhood in order to shoulder the heavy burden of the millions of people in Beishang Kingdom.

This kind of treatment is the first time that any prince has received such treatment since the founding of Beishang State, which shows how favored the two children are.

These are nothing special. Whenever Chongguang has free time, he will go to kiss and hug her. Seeing that the emperor dotes on her so much, these servants dare not have any other thoughts and naturally do their best.

Seeing Chongguang doting on the child like this, I naturally felt much more at ease. So I went back to the palace less often and spent more time taking care of Duoduo and helping her recover.

My inability to distinguish between the important and the unimportant naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers. The memorial impeaching me was at least a hundred pounds in weight. When Chongguang saw it, although he had some opinions in his heart, he suppressed them all and did not mention them.

More than a month passed like this, and I went back to the palace to visit my two children as usual, and happened to meet Chongguang.

"You still remember to come back? I haven't seen you for a month." Chongguang asked coldly, like a woman alone in her empty room questioning the man who abandoned his wife and children for his mistress.

I knew I was in the wrong and didn't dare to respond. Chongguang said angrily, "You don't even go back home every day just for a cheap maid. What do you think of me? What do you think of me, two children?"

I knew Chongguang was unhappy, but I couldn't just ignore Xiaotao, so I could only smile flatteringly and say, "My dear Chongguang, you know Xiaotao has always been by my side. Besides, all the suffering she endured is ultimately my responsibility. I can't just ignore her. Please be patient. Xiaotao has gotten much better. When she gets better, I'll come back and spend some time with you."

I pulled Chongguang's hand in a flattering manner. Chongguang struggled a few times unwillingly, but finally let me hold his hand.

Seeing that Chongguang was just a little angry, I coaxed him again: "Xiaotao has recovered a lot. Wuxin said that she will recover in half a year at most. Please bear with me for the next six months. You know, Xiaotao is different to me after all. She is someone I cherish just like you."

As soon as I said this, I knew I had said the wrong thing. Chongguang, who was already pouting and sulking, shook off my hand after hearing this.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "How dare a mere slave be compared to me? I will kill all her nine clans today, so that the world can see what it means to be the only one who is supreme and what it means that the majesty of the king cannot be insulted."

Chongguang is now completely furious, and Chongguang's temper is such that he will kill not only the nine clans of a mere servant, but even the aristocratic families.

I sighed in my heart, hating myself for not being able to speak. I was really talking about things that were irrelevant.

I was helpless now, so I could only continue to coax her, "I was wrong to anger Chongguang. What does this have to do with Xiaotao, or her nine clans? If you're really angry, I'll punish you and punish you. Why bother with these lowly people? If you end up being known as a tyrant, I'll be heartbroken."

"Heh." Chongguang sneered, "Qianqiu has never been so submissive to me in all these years. The elders of Zhaixing Tower are right. You only have Xiaotao in your heart. If it weren't for these four sacred fruits, you probably wouldn't even be able to return to the capital. You would have been hiding away from me long ago."

When I heard about the elders of Zhaixing Tower, I was also furious and cursed, "What did that old bastard say to you again? We have known each other for so many years, how could he say such things to hurt my feelings just because of a few words from that old bastard?"

I was feeling irritated. I had always disliked that old bastard, the elder of Zhaixing Tower, and thought he would definitely try to trick me. Sure enough, he had dug a trap for me.

Chongguang is easy to coax on normal days, but judging from his attitude today, I’m afraid it won’t end well.

As expected, Chongguang pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it in my face. He said with a ferocious expression and aggrieved eyes, "Take a look at it yourself, but don't say I wronged you."

I picked up the paper and saw a poem written on it. The title of the poem was "Taoyao".

There is no such poem in this world. I have made up my mind to deny it. Anyway, I will make up some nonsense for a while, then give in and coax him. In the last few days, I will stay in the palace to accompany Chongguang and wait for him to calm down.

I also pretended to be aggrieved and said, "I have never seen this poem before. I don't know how to explain that Xiao Tao is the only one in my heart."

I slammed the paper on the table and said, "This is clearly a false accusation. Any civil or military official in the capital could come up with a thousand or so accusations about something like this. If this is enough to convict me, Chongguang, you might as well kill me. After all, you can always find a pretext to accuse someone."

"Hahahahaha." Chongguang laughed in anger, and with a casual wave of his finger, the paper was pressed against my face again. "Take a good look at this poem. The evidence is irrefutable. How can you deny it?"

I crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it in Chongguang's face, cursing, "What's so good about it? It's just the lines 'The peach tree blossoms young and luxuriantly, its flowers radiant' and 'The peach tree blossoms young and luxuriantly, its leaves lush and dense'. You think I named the two princesses that way because I can't forget Xiaotao."

"That's not what I meant." Chongguang said with a cold face.

Seeing Chongguang's expression of true belief, I immediately realized that what I said was a confession. Just as I was about to continue to argue, Chongguang continued, "Take another look at this poem."

I was so preoccupied with my excuses that I didn't even notice what Chongguang said. Seeing I had no reaction, Chongguang practically roared, "I'll let you read this poem again."

My heart skipped a beat. Could this poem contain a trap? Trembling, I pretended to be calm as I picked up the paper and read it. At a glance, I knew this day wouldn't end peacefully. Written on it were: "The peach tree is young and lush, its leaves and flowers are blooming."

Seeing my bad face, Chongguang sneered, "What else do you have to quibble about? All my sincerity over the years has been wasted. You know how much I've sacrificed for you. I didn't want to fight for the throne. The people in Zhaixing Tower said that only by becoming the emperor can you get you. That's why you're fighting so carefully for the throne."

Chongguang's words became more and more outrageous. These words could not be heard by outsiders, so I quickly scolded him to shut up, then dragged him to the imperial study and ordered Er to seal off the surroundings.

After making sure that Chongguang's angry words wouldn't get out, I calmly told him, "You mentioned these two names. Do they have that meaning? I can't say for sure, but it's definitely not because of Xiaotao. You have to believe me on this."

"Believe you, what can make me believe you, your mouth full of lies, or your legs that haven't returned to the palace for more than half a month." Chongguang glanced at me and sneered.

"I've already given you two sons. Isn't that enough for you to trust me?" I asked. "And didn't the elders of Zhaixing Tower tell you that I'll give you two daughters in the future?"

After hearing this, Chongguang felt much more at ease, but he still held my hand a little proudly and said, "Then promise me that you will stay by my side for the rest of your life and never leave me, okay?"

"Okay, okay." I agreed readily. I didn't want to agree, but if I didn't agree, today's problem wouldn't be solved.

When Chongguang saw that I agreed, he was very happy and took me to see the two children. He kept talking about how to raise the children. One child should learn how to govern the country and become a good emperor in the future, and the other should learn martial arts and inherit my position as leader of the alliance.

As they were talking, they arrived at the side hall. At this moment, a servant from the house came in panic and reported, "Your Highness, something's wrong. Miss Xiaotao is sick again."

"How could that be? I was fine when I came out this morning." I said in shock and anger.

I knew that if I went there now, it would be difficult to appease Chongguang, but I still subconsciously said the words that made Chongguang furious, "Your Majesty, I have to go back to the house and come back to see the child tomorrow."

Chongguang acted as if he hadn't heard what I said. He kicked the servant who reported the news away and sneered, "You are so unruly. You deserve to die."

After he finished speaking, he was still angry and grabbed Ah Er with one hand and brought him in front of him. With just one slap, he made Ah Er vomit blood and his life or death was unknown.

Chongguang stared at me and sneered, "The servants in this palace are so careless. All kinds of dirty things can come to me. They deserve to die. So this palace will not work without Qianqiu to manage it."

I saw Chongguang's murderous eyes, and I instinctively wanted to follow his lead. However, thinking of Xiaotao's illness again, I said inexplicably, "Your Majesty, I need to go back to the house."

"You are the queen, and you should be respected as the mother of the country." Chongguang said with a smile, "I see that your house is in a dilapidated state, and it is really unworthy of you. For the next few days, my queen will stay in the palace. As for your house, I will have it demolished and rebuilt."

This was said politely. If it were someone else, they would have taken advantage of the situation and backed off. However, my temper flared up, and I said with a stern face, "I'm not the queen. Whoever wants to be the queen can be the queen. I won't be one anyway. I'm going to see Xiao Tao right now. If you have the guts, beat me to death like you beat Ah Er."

"If I say you are the queen, then you are the queen." Chongguang put his arm around my shoulders and said affectionately, "Qianqiu, it's time for you to fulfill your duties as queen."

I didn't react for a moment and didn't understand what the so-called queen's responsibility meant. It was not until he restrained me and carried me into the bedroom that I knew what he wanted to do, but it was too late at this time.

"Chongguang, let's talk nicely." I said in fear, "I just gave birth to Sihua and Sixia, and my body is not fully recovered yet. I can't have another child. I will die."

"Don't worry, I won't let you get pregnant." After saying that, he stuffed a pill into my mouth.

"What did you feed me?" I coughed violently, trying to spit out what I had eaten.

"It's not something dirty, it's just a contraceptive pill." Chongguang said as he took off his clothes. "I felt bad for you having such a painful childbirth, so I had someone prepare this contraceptive pill early on. Don't worry, you won't get pregnant again."

Chongguang quickly took off all his clothes and then gently stripped me naked.

As for the following content, it is because everyone knows that I cannot tell you. There is only one thing I can say, that is, this matter was eventually reported out of the palace, and I don’t know how many stories were published.

It’s just that these stories are so filthy that they can’t pass the review, so I can’t tell them to my readers, which is really a pity.

Let’s not talk about this matter anymore. To know what happens next, please wait for the next chapter.
