Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Time slipped silently through fingers like fine sand, and in the blink of an eye, the little life in the incubator celebrated its full month.

"Xiaoyue, can my child really come out of the dragon egg?"

In Mu Yuehan's bedroom, she looked at Bai Yue with longing, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Yes, mother, my little brother is very healthy now and no longer needs to stay in here!"

As she spoke, she pressed a device on the incubator, and soon the glass chamber that looked like an eggshell slowly lowered.

"Hey, be good, little prince. I'll carry you to see the Queen Mother!"

Bai Yue gently picked up the white and chubby little guy and walked to Mu Yuehan, who then held the child carefully in his arms with trembling hands.

"My prince, my precious prince!"

The moment she touched the child, her eyes sparkled with tears of excitement, and she hugged the child tightly to her chest. At this moment, Yun Ruiyuan also ran in hurriedly. When he saw the baby in Mu Yuehan's arms, he rushed to her like an arrow, and asked with a trembling voice.

"Yuhan, this is our child, right?"

"Your Majesty, why are you talking nonsense? This is of course our child. Look at his eyes and nose, he looks so much like you!"

"Can I...can I hug him?"

Yun Ruiyuan asked while nervously rubbing his hands on his dragon robe. The other party did not answer, but just smiled and handed the child to him.

"Great! I finally have another prince! Father, Ruiqing, have you finally forgiven me?"

He held the child carefully, but tears fell uncontrollably. Seeing this, Mu Yuehan quickly held his hand and comforted him gently.

"Ruiyuan, why are you talking nonsense again? Why do father and Ruiqing blame you?"

"No, I killed them all! Because I killed eight of my brothers, my father committed suicide out of hatred. Ruiqing was haunted by the ghost of his father and died young because he helped me initiate the Suzaku Gate Incident!"

Yun Ruiyuan looked at Mu Yuhan with guilt and muttered to himself.

"They must have been resentful of me, so they took our child away all these years. But now that a new child is born, does that mean they've calmed down and finally forgiven me?"

"Ruiyuan, don't think like that anymore. You did that for the future of Wenqu State. The death of our father and Ruiqing really has nothing to do with you."

Mu Yuehan never expected that the other party had such a knot in his heart, so he could only look at the other party with a distressed face and comfort him.

"Yes, everything that happened back then was planned by my brother. He is a true emperor, but he is not a qualified father!"

At this moment, Ni Yuecheng walked into the house accompanied by Yun Shaotian. She looked at the people with puzzled faces and couldn't help but sighed and said.

"Don't you think about it? You were just a powerless Eighth Prince back then. Why would the commander of the Imperial Guards surrender to you and help you kill your brothers? He was your brother's trusted confidant. Besides your brother, who else in the world could order him around?"

"Aunt, are you saying that the coup d'état was tacitly approved by our father?"

Yun Ruiyuan looked at Ni Yuecheng with an expression of disbelief.

"Yes, you are the heir to the throne chosen by my brother. Apart from you, everyone else is superfluous..."

"Grandma Ni, it seems like you have something else in mind. Could it be that besides those rebellious princes, Qing Chi's father was also..."

"Qing Chi's mother was actually a death warrior trained by my brother since childhood. We only found out about this through the diary she left behind..."

Yun Shaotian took over Ni Yuecheng's words and explained to Yun Ruiyuan.

"Wait, Uncle Wang, you said Yunyan was a death warrior trained by our father. Does that mean Ruiqing was killed by Yunyan?"

"Originally, we didn't want to tell you about this, but we didn't expect you to be brooding over it for so many years!"

Yun Shaotian did not directly answer the other party's question, but everyone already understood the meaning of his words.

"So the reason Yunyan committed suicide by taking poison was because her mission was completed. She not only wanted to die herself, but also take Qing Chi with her..."

Before Yun Ruiyuan finished speaking, the sound of broken cups and plates and the screams of palace maids were heard outside the door.

"Your Highness, Prince Hui, this servant deserves death. Are you okay?"

"Qing Chi? Qing Chi was outside just now?"

Just when everyone was still surprised, Bai Yue rushed out the door and chased in the direction Yun Qingchi left.

In a long-dusty room in Prince Hui's Mansion, Yun Qingchi was hiding in a closet and shivering.

"Chi'er, where are you? Your father is still waiting for us, please come out quickly."

"You little brat, don't you even listen to your mother's words? Get out here right now. We can't let your father be alone. Come with me to find your father now!"

"No, Mother, no, I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Yun Qingchi covered his ears tightly, as if this way he would not hear those terrible sounds again.

"You are here indeed!"

At this moment, the wardrobe door was suddenly opened forcefully, and Yun Qingchi subconsciously held her head with both hands and begged in a crying voice.

"Mother, please let me go. Am I not your biological son? Please don't kill me!"

"..."

What responded to him was not the crazy tearing he had expected, but a fresh floral fragrance that penetrated deep into his heart, lingering like the gentlest comfort in spring.

"It smells so good!"

Yun Qingchi was gently soothed by the sudden fragrance, and his confused mind gradually returned to normal. He looked up cautiously, and in front of him was Bai Yue, holding an arm full of gardenias.

"Hey, I just saw all these flowers in the yard blooming, and I thought you'd like them, so I picked some for you!"

The other party did not ask him what happened, but just smiled and handed the big bouquet of flowers to him.

"Xiaoyue..."

Yun Qingchi was like a drowning man who had grabbed a piece of driftwood. He suddenly pulled her into his arms. With a "bang", the cabinet door closed again. At the same time, a rain of flower petals floated in the air, like a dream.

"I have to say, the quality of your cabinet is quite good. It can hold two of us, and it hasn't fallen apart!"

"Xiaoyue...why did you come here, and how did you know I was hiding here..."

"Haha, there are only a few places in your little house that can hide people. Considering your height, I'm afraid there's no place other than this cabinet that can accommodate a giant Buddha like you!"

"I came here because I was worried about you. After all, you should have heard what Grandma Ni said!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the person holding her tremble slightly. After a while, the other person spoke with a choked voice.

"That's right, my father was indeed killed by my mother, and she not only wanted to kill my father, but also me!"

"My mother is the daughter of a commoner whom my father rescued while he was out hunting. His Majesty told me that the moment my father saw my mother, his heart was captivated by her!"

"Later, my father knelt before the Emperor's palace for a whole day and night in order to make my mother his principal wife. The Emperor had no choice but to agree to his marriage with my mother!"

"In my memory, my father and mother were so loving. They always loved taking me on trips. That time was the happiest moment in my life."

"But since the Suzaku Gate Incident, everything has changed. Father has been bedridden due to his injuries, and although Mother has been taking care of him every day, his illness has only gotten worse. He even started coughing up blood..."

When Yun Qingchi said this, he seemed to be hurt by something. After a long silence, he seemed to muster up the courage and continued.

"Actually, I once discovered that my mother added some strange powder to my father's medicine. I told him, but he said I was mistaken and told me not to tell anyone."

"...Qing Chi, are you saying that your father knew that your mother wanted to poison him?"

"I don't know either. I only know that since then, my father has continued to drink the medicine prepared by my mother and has refused to allow the imperial physician to examine him. He always says that it's just a common injury and will heal in a few days."

"He kept dragging on like this, until one day, when I went to see him, I found that he would never wake up again..."

Yun Qingchi's voice was low and sad, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.
