After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Xiao Ji stared at the emperor, his eyes devoid of any warmth or emotion. The emperor, feeling cold, trembled slightly unconsciously.

There is no warmth, not even hatred.

It was simply stating a fact, but it frightened the emperor even more.

If there was hatred, at least the words could have been driven by hatred, but such calmness...

The emperor was certain that Xiao Ji was sincere.

For the first time, he felt fear for Xiao Ji.

His throat rolled and he swallowed, "I am your father!" If Xiao Ji really treated him like this, it would be unfilial and disobedient!

Xiao Ji didn't even blink when he heard this, "Have you ever considered yourself a father?" After all these years, have you ever fulfilled your father's responsibilities even once?

After a pause, Xiao Ji said, "But there is one thing I am indeed grateful to you for."

Wha, what?

The emperor looked at Xiao Ji with obvious confusion in his eyes, but he was too shocked to ask.

"Thank you for not interfering in my marriage." He did not reject this matter because the Xie family was of poor family background or because it was a deliberate humiliation by Concubine Li.

Only in this way could he marry Xie Yao.

Emperor: "..." He almost choked on his own saliva.

Is Xiao Ji sick?

"For a woman, you, you..." The emperor wanted to struggle again. But Xiao Ji's tone was filled with pride, "I am different from you."

"I've been wanting to ask you a question these days." Xiao Ji looked at the emperor and said, "Xiao Zhige, have you ever dreamed of my mother?"

Xiao Ji's words evoked the emperor's most secret memories, and his expression and eyes instantly became dazed.

Xiao Ji continued, "I think mother would not want to enter your dream."

The emperor's breathing became rapid, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be only halfway to death...

Xiao Ji watched coldly, and suddenly felt his palms warm. It was Xie Yao who came forward and held his hand.

She was with him.

Xiao Ji's expressionless face softened instantly, and he held Xie Yao's hand instead.

"Your Highness, let's go out." Xie Yao glanced at the emperor and already knew his fate, so she said to Xiao Ji.

Just as Xiao Ji was about to agree, he heard the emperor's voice, "Sister...Sister..."

The emperor's voice was so weak that it moved the listeners.

Unfortunately, the only ones who heard the noise here were Xie Yao and Xiao Ji.

Xie Yao turned to look at the emperor and said, "The eldest princess is weak and still recovering from her illness. It is inconvenient to bother you."

Even if the princess might be angry, there are some things...that must be done.

After Xie Yao and Xiao Ji finished talking, they did not stay any longer and turned to leave the inner room.

But when she went out, she could still hear the emperor's voice behind her, but this time, in addition to calling her "Sister", she also called her "Queen".

Even if the queen died early, the emperor would only have one queen for decades.

It was clear who he was calling.

But neither Xie Yao nor Xiao Ji paid any attention.

The door of the huge main hall was closed, and there was no one else in the hall except the emperor.

"Your Highness..." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji. Just as she opened her mouth, Xiao Ji asked her, "Will Yaoyao think I'm cruel?"

Xie Yao immediately shook her head, "Your Highness is not cruel."

Even though His Highness had always been betrayed and plotted against by the Emperor, he had never paid any attention to it.

Xie Yao still remembers Xiao Ji's indifferent attitude when she first married him, as if he didn't care about the whole world at all.

He is detached from the world.

It was she who used all her efforts to drag him into this world.

"Your Highness dares to love and hate, and he clearly distinguishes between love and hate. He is a hero in my heart." When Xie Yao said this, her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji felt warm in his heart.

Regardless of whether Xie Yao's words were comforting or not, they made him feel much more relaxed.

"Besides." Xie Yao put her arms around Xiao Ji's waist and rested her head on his shoulder. "My husband is doing this to protect me and the children."

Xiao Ji's hand fell on Xie Yao's flat belly.

He was not an indecisive person, and what he said just now was really just because he was worried that Xie Yao would be upset.

All he cared about from beginning to end was Xie Yao's opinion.

And it was obvious from Xie Yao's performance and answer at the moment that Xie Yao did not think too much about it, nor did she resist him.

Xiao Ji immediately felt relieved, and looked at Xie Yao who was still trying to comfort him with an unspeakably soft look in his eyes.

How could his daughter Yaoyao be so lovable?

"Yaoyao." Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao who was about to speak, and couldn't help but interrupt her. Then he looked at her seriously, "Yaoyao, do you still want to meet him alone now?"

Of course, he was asking the emperor.

After all, Xie Yao was rushing to enter the palace today.

Xie Yao shook her head.

Xiao Ji's actions had already made her very satisfied, and she did not think it was necessary to see the emperor again at this moment.

Compared to meeting the emperor...

"I would rather sleep with Your Highness in my arms," ​​said Xie Yao.

Of course, as soon as Mrs. Zhao left, the two of them slept in the literal sense.

Zhao Zhao stayed in the palace every year. Since both of them had entered the palace, they simply didn't return to the Prince's Mansion and went to their previous residence.

Just as Xie Yao said, she hugged Xiao Ji and soon fell into a deep sleep.

People are really tired.

Xiao Ji embraced Xie Yao, lowered his head and reverently kissed Xie Yao on the forehead, and then quickly fell asleep.

And during the time when the two were sleeping, something big happened in the palace.

Just as she swore in her heart, Concubine Shu was determined to take revenge on the emperor, so she took advantage of the fact that the emperor was under her control and tortured him every day.

But today, as soon as Concubine Shu arrived at the Yangxin Palace, she felt that something was wrong.

The emperor's condition does not seem to be good.

She hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to react. The emperor stared at Concubine Shu with wide eyes, stretched out his thin, trembling hand to her, and kept shouting one word: "Save, save, save..."

Save him!

He doesn't want to die!

Concubine Shu was a little frightened and subconsciously took half a step back.

Then she quickly calmed down and stood not far from the dragon bed, watching the emperor struggle.

From shouting "Help" to "Sister" to "Queen"...

Hatred flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes. "Shut up, you're not worthy of mentioning her!"

The emperor was already weak, and now he was so angry at Concubine Shu's words that he almost died.

He tried his best to open his eyes wide, and looked at Shufei with hatred in his eyes, bitch!

And Xiao Ji, Xie Yao, the eldest princess... they are all bitches!

Concubine Shu saw what the emperor meant, and her face became even colder. "It seems that you are about to die."

"You are finally dying." Concubine Shu said, "You don't know how long I have been looking forward to this day."

From knowing that the emperor wanted to harm Xiaowu, and then knowing that the emperor had harmed her sister... she wished she could cut the dog emperor into eight pieces, dismember him, and chop him into pieces!

Seeing that the emperor could no longer speak and was only breathing his last, Concubine Shu slowly said to the outside world: "Someone, come here, His Majesty is in a bad condition!"

When these words were spoken, everyone inside and outside the palace was shocked.

Needless to say, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, who were still resting, were woken up immediately. The eldest princess, who was still recuperating, and all the ministers in the court rushed into the palace.

In the eldest princess' carriage.

She listened to Suqin talk about what had happened in the past few days, such as Xie Yao's disappearance. She frowned and asked, "Why didn't you report this to me earlier?"

Although her body is still very weak, her mind is normal.

Suqin immediately apologized, "Please forgive me, Princess. I acted on my own initiative and didn't want this to disturb your rest."

"And the Crown Princess was found after being missing for a day. I was thinking of reporting to you if there was no news today..."

The eldest princess raised her hand and pinched her brows, "So, after Madam Zhao was buried, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess entered the palace and personally met with His Majesty."

"Yes." Suqin nodded.

The princess said nothing more after hearing this. She only lowered her eyelids slightly and spoke after a long while, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are truly filial. Even when faced with such a thing, they thought of visiting His Majesty first."

Suqin immediately agreed, although she felt that the eldest princess's attitude was obviously different before and after.

The situation was urgent, and the eldest princess was in poor health, so her carriage was driven directly to the front of the Yangxin Palace.

Without waiting for Suqin and Xuanyue to support her, the eldest princess was impatient to get off the carriage.

But before her feet touched the ground, she heard a heavy bell ringing -

Her heart sank.

The bells rang continuously, and at the same time, the eunuch's voice came, "Your Majesty... has passed away!"

The bells rang continuously, and everyone knew that the number of bells ringing for the emperor's death was twenty-seven.

boom.

The princess, who was about to land, fell to the ground. Suqin and Xuanyue hurried forward to help her, "Princess!"

After helping the eldest princess up, the two discovered that her body was trembling slightly.

Suqin felt a little distressed for a moment. The eldest princess used to be very strong, but ever since something happened in the palace... she has become so weak now.

The eldest princess said nothing and went to the Yangxin Palace immediately.

The inside and outside of the Yangxin Palace were filled with people kneeling, and kneeling in the front and center were naturally the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

Then came Concubine Shu and the Fifth Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince.

The eldest princess walked past the crowd and approached the dragon bed.

After not seeing each other for a while, the emperor, who had been plump and white even when he was in a coma because of her care, suddenly became so thin that it seemed as if only bones were left. I wonder if he has suffered a lot in the past few days.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Is it necessary to take the emperor's life?

"Aunt, I'm so sorry," Xiao Ji said. "The imperial physician has said that my father's condition has suddenly worsened."

"Father had many hidden illnesses in his early years and could not hold on any longer. The imperial doctors treated him for several days, but to no avail. Today..."

The princess didn't want to hear a word of Xiao Ji's explanation.

She only asked: "Your Majesty...what did you say?"
