Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

, He faltered and asked him: "Your Majesty, is it really going to be chopped off? It's a pity..."

Ling Qiyou squinted at him, his slender eyes were full of coldness, the clown didn't dare to say any more, and shut his mouth sullenly.

But Ling Qiyou suddenly stopped in his tracks again, and after a long while, he opened his lips and said, "Go to the dungeon."

The clown was startled, and suddenly raised his head to look at him, Ling Qiyou's indifferent eyes fell in the distance without focus, and repeated again: "Go to the dungeon."

The dungeon where Xiao Chuqian was imprisoned was in the northwest corner of the imperial palace, deep underground, dark and damp, with a musty smell. Ling Qiyou stood on the stone steps covered with moss, closed his eyes, and recalled that time. It was a terrible nightmare. He was also locked in such a cellar and kept company with the cold darkness. Xiao Chuqian refused to kill him directly, but tortured him in this way, almost driving him crazy.

The clown saw that Ling Qiyou closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his body was shaking, and his forehead was already sweating, so he quickly reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, forget it, don't go down..."

Ling Qiyou slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and walked down resolutely step by step.

The torch in the clown's hand illuminated the walls of the small dungeon. Cobwebs were intertwined everywhere, and insects and rats were rampant. Xiao Chuqian huddled on the haystack in the corner with his back to them. Hearing the sound, he chuckled lightly: "Little Shitou, did you bring food so early today? Is this rotten meat or stinky fish?"

Ling Qiyou paused and did not make a sound. After a while, Xiao Chuqian sensed that something was wrong, and slowly turned around. Seeing that the person in front of him was Ling Qiyou, he was taken aback for a moment, and then He laughed again: "Isn't Your Majesty refusing to see me? Where did you come from today to condescend to come to such a place?"

Ling Qiyou looked at the man in front of him, unkempt, with a sloppy beard, and wearing the thinnest prison clothes. Because of the cold, the backs of his bare hands were almost bruised, but the eyes that looked directly at him were still as sharp as before. With half a trace of sorrow.

"You're not dead yet?" Ling Qiyou paused every word, almost gnashing his teeth.

"I can't die yet," Xiao Chuqian said with an indifferent attitude, "Some eat and some sleep, so it's so easy to die."

Standing in this dank dungeon, even though Ling Qiyou was wrapped in a cloak, he still felt unbearably cold. He was wearing such a single shirt, and he was also poisoned. He didn't know how he survived. , Thinking of this, Ling Qiyou was still extremely unhappy.

"I cut down that plum tree."

Ling Qiyou's sudden change of topic made Xiao Chuqian startled again, and said, "Cut it?"

"It's blooming, I hate it when I see it, so I cut it off."

Xiao Chuqian looked into his eyes quietly. After half a day, he turned his gaze away and sighed softly: "Why..."

"I will kill you sooner or later."

Xiao Chuqian didn't answer his words, and for a while the whole dungeon fell into a deathly silence, Ling Qiyou didn't say anything more, after a long time, he turned around and walked up the stone steps again.

Until his back almost disappeared, Xiao Chuqian slowly opened his mouth: "Qi You...would you feel very lonely without me?"

Ling Qiyou's footsteps stagnated for a moment, even the clown who followed him hardly noticed, until his figure completely disappeared, and the sound of the dungeon door closing sounded again, Xiao Chuqian smiled wryly and shook his head, He lay down again and closed his eyes.

Coming out of the dungeon, the clown saw that the air pressure around Ling Qiyou seemed to be lower, and he followed him silently without daring to talk too much, until Ling Qiyou asked him first: "Who told you to send the rotten food?" For him?"

"Your Majesty said you can't let him have a good time in there, servant...you deserve to die..." The clown lowered his head and pleaded guilty in a low voice.

Ling Qiyou didn't say any more, and strode back to Zhaode Hall.

In a few days, Xu Chongqing sent the roster and portraits of the official ladies who had been collected to Ling Qiyou to have a look, but Ling Qiyou didn't even take a glance, and said directly: "Cousin Xinlan For the empress, I will issue an order to the Ministry of Rites to get married in ten days, and for the rest, let it be for now, and it will not be too late for the concubine to add later."

Xu Chongqing was a little surprised that he made such a decision, but he didn't say much, just asked: "After ten days, will it be too rushed?"

"Just ten days later." Ling Qiyou insisted.

So Xu Chongqing didn't say any more, just nodded in response, and retreated.

With Xu Xinlan, the daughter of the uncle Xu Guogong, as the queen, the empress dowager's decree to hold the empress's wedding ceremony was issued on the same day. Although the time was a bit rushed, this candidate was not unexpected at all, so there was nothing wrong with it. There are a lot of discussions, and all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty just need to wait to drink the wedding wine of His Majesty the Emperor.

The dress worn on the wedding day was rushed out in a few days, Ling Qiyou changed into his upper body, and looked at the dazzling red in the mirror, but the joy did not reflect in his eyes at all.

The clown helped him tuck the hem of his flat clothes, and whispered to himself: "Your Majesty knows that Miss Xinlan has someone else in her heart, so why marry her..."

Ling Qiyou didn't make a sound, looked straight into his indifferent eyes in the mirror, and finally sighed softly in his heart.

On the day of His Majesty's wedding, from the Uncle's Mansion to the Imperial Palace, surrounded by flowers and red makeup, amidst the sound of gongs and drums and the congratulations of all officials, Ling Qiyou led Xu Xinlan who was helped off the sedan chair , held her cold hand, and led her up the stone steps of Chong En Hall.

All the procedures were in accordance with the old wedding of the late emperor and the Empress Dowager Xu. Ling Qiyou numbly completed one complicated ceremony after another under the guidance of the ceremony officer, until after nightfall, he was helped into the bridal chamber. , slowly lifted the hijab on the head of the new queen, and met the same pair of indifferent eyes.

The people in the dormitory retreated one after another. Ling Qiyou walked to the table, poured a glass of water and took a sip. He gradually regained consciousness from his chaotic consciousness from drinking too much wine. Xu Xinlan who was shaking his head unconsciously tightened the veil in his hand, he was silent for a moment, and said, "I won't touch you."

Xu Xinlan raised her head abruptly, and looked at him in astonishment, Ling Qiyou continued calmly: "I know you have someone you like, before I wiped out Xiao's cronies, my uncle deliberately classified them among them, and I sent them to the frontier .”

Xu Xinlan bit her lip, her eyes were already red.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to rescue him and place him properly, and I won't let my uncle know, as long as you are willing to listen to me."

"Your Majesty... what do you want me to do?"

"In front of people, especially in front of my uncle, if you play the role of my queen well, I won't touch you. Moreover, in a few months, I will send you a child, put it in your name, and tell the outside world that you gave birth to it." .”

Xu Xinlan bit her lips hard, although she didn't know why Ling Qiyou made such a proposal, but no matter what, it was the best for her.

So she nodded lightly, and complied with Ling Qiyou's words: "Okay, as long as Your Majesty does what he says, I will also abide by my duty as a queen."

dungeon.

The eunuch Xiao Shitou squatted in front of Xiao Chuqian, took out the vegetables from the food box, and placed them in front of him. The charcoal basin beside him had already been burned, a thick mattress was spread on the floor, and Xiao Chuqian was wrapped in a coat Looking at the steaming fresh meal, the son laughed: "What's the matter today? It's so rich, it won't be the last meal, right?"

Little Shitou rolled his eyes at him: "If there is something for you to eat, you can eat it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"You didn't bring this on. Tell me, why did His Majesty suddenly change his temper?"

Xiao Shitou said unhappily: "Your Majesty is getting married today and amnesty the world. You can't let him out, but it's okay if the treatment is improved."

Xiao Chuqian was taken aback for a moment, listening to the faint sound of joy drifting into his ears, the smile in his eyes slowly faded, and when Xiao Shitou got up and was about to leave, he suddenly spoke, stopped him, and asked : "The queen... who is it?"

"The daughter of Uncle Xu's family."

Xiao Chuqian didn't ask any more, picked up the rice bowl, and put it in his mouth. For half a month, he had already lost his sense of taste after eating the rotten food and vegetables that were only used to fill his stomach so as not to starve to death. While eating this steaming fresh food, I still don't know how to taste it.

After a long time, he put down his job, but laughed softly again, after all, the little emperor still softened his heart towards him.

☆, giving birth

More than a month after the emperor's wedding, the empress was happy and the whole country was jubilant.

The winter in Beijing is very long, even though Ling Qiyou has been in body for more than three months now, wearing heavy clothes and wrapped in a cloak, it is still rare for others to see the clues.

It's just that the body's reaction is getting stronger and stronger. Now, Ling Qiyou can clearly feel that there is an extra piece of meat in his stomach, and he is tortured to death every day. Even after more than three months, he still has morning sickness. He couldn't eat anymore, he was groggy all day long, and he still had to cheer up to deal with political affairs. Seeing His Majesty becoming more and more listless and despondent, all civil and military officials saw it in their eyes, and they were all worried. Your Majesty, who has a poor health since he was young, has some serious illness.

It's just that no matter how many speculations there are, Ling Qiyou's place is calm and calm, and he doesn't give any explanation at all.

In the eyes of outsiders, the empress and the empress are harmonious and affectionate. They already had a child right after they got married, and His Majesty stayed in Chong'en Hall every day to take care of the Empress himself. Noodles are rarely seen, just to prevent Uncle Xu's family and outsiders from being suspicious, Xu Xinlan's belly is also "bulging" day by day in coordination.

After entering the spring, Ling Qiyou's nausea reaction was finally suppressed under the careful medication of the imperial physician. Although the little thing in the stomach became more and more tossed after it moved, as long as you don't think about it, She gritted her teeth and survived the discomfort. Fortunately, Ling Qiyou was thinner, and her stomach was smaller than that of ordinary pregnant women in the same month. She wore loose clothes to cover it up, and when the officials were summoned, the other party usually lowered her head. It's not that hard to fool around.

During the period, Ling Qiyou went to that dungeon again, even he himself didn't know why, he walked out of the dungeon unknowingly, this time he didn't even take the clown with him, he went down alone.

The weather is getting warmer and Xiao Chuqian's treatment is much better now than when he was first imprisoned here, and he has lost the consciousness of being a criminal. Ling Qiyou walked down slowly and saw him lying on the mattress with his feet up and humming , the look in his eyes sank a little, staring at him coldly, but he did not say a word while pursing his lips.

When Xiao Chuqian turned his head, he met Ling Qiyou's cold eyes and asked him after a moment: "Your Majesty is here again today, but he came to see if I'm still alive?"

"Are you proud?" Ling Qiyou said the four words almost gnashing his teeth.

Xiao Chuqian sat up, looked up at the person in front of him who was condescendingly looking down at him, and after a while, he chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty is here because you miss me, right?"

Ling Qiyou's pupils shrank slightly, and there was already an undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

"Or... your body misses me?"

With a "slap", when Xiao Chuqian's words fell, Ling Qiyou slapped him in the face angrily.

Xiao Chuqian was stunned by his slap, and anger came to his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Ling Qiyou raised his hand again. Seeing that the second slap was about to come down, he suddenly covered his face with one hand in pain. Stomach, body tilted to one side, almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Xiao Chuqian had sharp eyes and quick hands, reached out to catch him.

"Qi You?!"

Ling Qiyou closed his eyes and frowned tightly, bit his lips, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down. He covered his stomach with his hands and almost passed out from such pain. This was the first time that this evil thing in his stomach would With such a strong fetal movement, Ling Qiyou wanted to kill someone with hatred, but he couldn't pull up the strength at all, and even had difficulty pushing Xiao Chuqian away.

Xiao Shitou, the eunuch guarding the dungeon, hurried down when he heard the sound, and seeing Ling Qiyou fell into Xiao Chuqian's arms, he was startled, and quickly knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Hurry up and send the imperial physician!" Xiao Chuqian yelled at him.

"do not go……"

Ling Qiyou gritted his teeth and spat out these two words with difficulty. If he called the imperial physician here, Xiao Chuqian would know that he was pregnant. Just think of what kind of complacent and peaceful expression he will have when he finds out. With a sarcastic expression, Ling Qiyou wished he could cut him into pieces and strangle him to death, which made him suffer a great shame and humiliation.

"Clown..."

Hearing what Ling Qiyou said, Xiao Shitou didn't dare to disobey, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and hurried up to find the ugly eunuch beside His Majesty.

"Let go... I..."

Ling Qiyou was so angry that he almost trembled, especially at this moment when his body was still being hugged by Xiao Chuqian, and he was afraid that he would find his stomach, so he pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve for self-defense while struggling, and stabbed fiercely at Xiao Chuqian. past.

Shocked, Xiao Chuqian finally let go of him and avoided him. After all, he was stabbed on one arm and arm, and Ling Qiyou fell directly to the ground.

Hearing the news, the clown almost scrambled over and rushed down. When he saw Ling Qiyou lying on the cold muddy ground, his body almost convulsed, his face turned pale immediately, and he rushed forward and carefully helped him up, because He was weak and fell down a few times during the period before he could barely support Ling Qiyou to stand up, and helped him climb up the stone steps step by step.

Xiao Chuqian kept watching coldly, wanting to go up to help, but when he saw his arm that was still bleeding, he decided to forget it.

But before the figures of the two disappeared, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked the clown: "What's wrong with your Majesty?"

The clown's eyes turned red immediately, and he choked on him angrily: "What does it have to do with you?!"

Then he ignored him and helped Ling Qiyou out of the dungeon.

After that, Ling Qiyou never cared about Xiao Chuqian's life and death. After the summer, he took Xu Xinlan to leave the palace to recuperate, and the day of giving birth was approaching day by day.

Nine months later, Ling Qiyou stopped the court on the grounds that he was unwell and needed to recuperate, and all political affairs were handed over to the cabinet and the six ministries. Hearing that His Majesty was seriously ill, Xu Chongqing came to visit once, but was blocked by the clown Besides, it is said that His Majesty is in good health, but the Empress is ill, and she will give birth in two months, and His Majesty is worried about her, so she found an excuse to stop the court, and I have to trouble the uncle to take care of the court. things in the middle.

Even if the queen is Xu Chongqing's daughter, he can't go to visit in person, and after asking the clown to convey his greetings, he can only forget it and leave.

Then came the day of childbirth, the only one who knew about Ling Qiyou's pregnancy, except for the clown, was the imperial physician, and naturally he could only rely on him to deliver the baby.

The clown was like a big enemy, so he prepared a few large buckets of hot water for backup, and the imperial doctor was so nervous that his forehead was sweating. Delivering babies was originally a stable woman's job, and it was the first time to be an imperial doctor, let alone for His Majesty, a man delivery.

Stomach throbbing pain after burst, Ling Qiyou was tortured almost to death, from the beginning he wanted to grit his teeth and endure it, but in the end the pain was unbearable and he couldn't help but yelled.

The pain was extreme, and the only thought that flashed through my mind was, Xiao Chuqian, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you...

The empty palace echoed Ling Qiyou's shrill and painful cries. The imperial physician was sweating profusely, giving him needles while guiding him to inhale and exhale before exerting force. The clown was so frightened that the inside and outside The palace doors were closed tightly, and everyone except the three of them was kicked out.

One day and one night, Ling Qiyou was hoarse and nearly collapsed, and the imperial doctor who delivered the delivery was also exhausted. When the baby's cry finally resounded through the palace, Ling Qiyou was completely exhausted and passed out.

The imperial doctor carefully lifted the baby who was only two palms of an adult, and finally there was a hint of excitement in his tone: "Yes... a prince..."

The clown's eyes were red, and he kept wiping away his tears, while Ling Qiyou, who had passed out, didn't respond at all.

When Ling Qiyou woke up again, another night passed, and the clown came to show Ling Qiyou the little prince who had been fed by the nanny, but Ling Qiyou thought it was unnecessary to glance at him, and coldly ordered: "Send it On the side of the queen, give me a decree that the queen will give birth to the eldest son of the emperor prematurely, and name him Ling Rui as the crown prince."

As if he felt his father's dislike for him, the little prince who was already full and fell asleep suddenly burst into tears, His Majesty didn't even want to look at it and wanted to give it away, the clown felt sorry for the child in his hands , persuaded Ling Qiyou in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please give him a hug..."

Ling Qiyou closed his eyes, hiding the complexities in his eyes, and said coldly: "I said, send it to the queen."

Seeing that he was showing signs of getting angry, the clown didn't dare to persuade him any more, so he could only take the child who was still crying heart-piercingly to the queen.

The imperial physician knelt on the ground and checked Ling Qiyou's pulse. Ling Qiyou closed his eyes and leaned weakly on the head of the bed. After a while, he asked him in a hoarse voice: "How is my body?"

"The baby was born smoothly. Your Majesty's health is fine. The minister prescribed two medicines and took care of it for a period of time. That's enough."

Ling Qiyou nodded, didn't say any more, asked him to prescribe medicine and retreated first.

dungeon.

Xiao Chuqian saw that the food he had eaten for seven or eight months had turned into leftovers, so he asked Xiao Shitou silently: "Where did I offend His Majesty again?"

"I don't know. In short, it was the ugly father-in-law who told me that I can't make you feel better."

"...Did someone yell last night, and yelled all night, it was so painful and frightening?"

Little Shitou glanced at him suspiciously: "Did you hear it wrong, someone shouted somewhere."

"It's true..."

"Last night, the empress gave birth to the little prince prematurely, but the empress gave birth in the Li Palace, even if you shout, you can't hear it here."

Xiao Chuqian was taken aback when he heard the words, Ling Qiyou, is he a father?

It's just the screaming sound that came in the dream last night, what is it?

Thinking of the end, Xiao Chuqian smiled wryly and shook his head, anyway, it doesn't seem to make much sense to think about it now.

☆, prince

For three days in a row, it was the same leftovers that were worse than pig food. Xiao Shitou put the rice bowl in front of Xiao Chuqian and was about to leave. Xiao Chuqian, who was lazily closing his eyes, called out: "Go and talk to Your Majesty." Said, this thing is not for people to eat, I will not eat it.”

"You're not bad if you're not starving to death, and you're picky!"

"Anyway, I don't eat."

Seeing that a prisoner in custody dared to yank him like this, Xiao Shitou went forward to simply put away the bowl, but Xiao Chuqian suddenly opened his eyes again, looked at him, and asked, "Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to abuse you again?" I?"

Xiao Shitou was annoyed: "How do I know, what did you do to be locked up in such a place with such hatred by His Majesty?"

"What can I do..." Xiao Chuqian sighed lightly: "I don't seem to have done anything to His Majesty..."

The trampling and insults that Ling Qiyou said were obviously initiated by himself, and most of the time, the one who was more addicted to them was Ling Qiyou himself. In the past three years, even if he could not say that he was completely obedient to Ling Qiyou, She is also absolutely considerate, even helped him get the throne he wanted the most, but in the end, he said that the person he hates the most is himself.

Xiao Chuqian thought over and over again, what he did wrong, to put it bluntly, he didn't give Ling Qiyou enough respect, he always regarded him as his pet in captivity, and subconsciously thought that he couldn't afford this country, so he often didn't ask him Just help him make up his mind and not take his emperor's identity seriously, so he won't be guilty of death, right?What's more, I still wish I could kill myself in that way.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Shitou became even more angry, and didn't bother to talk to him any more. He stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Chuqian and told him: "Go and tell Your Majesty, this kind of I don’t eat things that are not for people to eat, and if I die of starvation, don’t expect to be able to hide things that he doesn’t want people to know.”

"……Are you crazy?!"

"Go ask him to come to see me, or prepare to collect the corpse for me." Xiao Chuqian curled his lips disapprovingly, and closed his eyes after speaking.

Little Stone stomped his feet, turned and walked away angrily.

Zhaode Hall.

Ling Qiyou stopped writing, and when he heard what the clown beside him reported with his head down and his face full of embarrassment, a look of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "He really said that?"

"...Yes." The clown replied cautiously: "He said that if you don't go to see him, he will go on a hunger strike and ask you to collect his body."

Even if you don't need to look, the clown can sense the anger around His Majesty at this moment. Seeing that Ling Qiyou didn't answer, he hesitated and asked again: "Do you want to bring him here for questioning? It's wet and cold in the dungeon." , you just finished giving birth..."

Ling Qiyou's sharp eyes stopped him before he finished speaking, and the clown lowered his head in shock: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."

Ling Qiyou returned to the palace on the second day after giving birth and resumed government affairs. Both the clown and the imperial physician persuaded him to take care of himself and confine himself to confinement, but Ling Qiyou's face changed when he heard the word "confinement". , the two of them didn't dare to persuade them any more, and then yesterday, the news spread into the palace that the imperial doctor and his whole family had fled the city overnight, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Presumably, it was also because Ling Qiyou's image of a tyrant has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The imperial doctor was afraid that the emperor would kill him if he was no longer needed after giving birth, so he took his whole family and abandoned his official position and fled. I went to track down the whereabouts of the imperial physician, so I didn't care about it.

It's just that the word "production" has almost become Ling Qiyou's taboo, as long as he hears it, he will definitely not give a good face. The clown's bold mention of it will naturally make Ling Qiyou unhappy again.

In the end, Ling Qiyou also went to the dungeon. I haven't seen you for a few months. Xiao Chuqian still looks the same. He looks more sloppy than before, but his eyes haven't changed at all. Xiao Chuqian frowned when he saw Ling Qiyou's weak state. She raised her eyebrows, met Ling Qiyou's cold eyes, felt helpless, and stopped going around in circles with him, and said straight to the point: "You let me out, and we will settle the matter in the future."

"Double clear?" Ling Qiyou sneered coldly, the coldness in his eyes became more and more obvious, unless Xiao Chuqian died, they would never be able to clear up like this, not to mention, he would not be stupid enough to do such a thing of letting the tiger go back to the mountain : "You think too well."

"Then what exactly do you want? Just want to cut me into pieces?" Xiao Chuqian was a little dismissive of his attitude: "What about it?"

Ling Qiyou stared into his eyes for a long time before he paused and said: "You are lying to me."

"..."

"The so-called insider is simply a nonsense you made up out of fear of death."

The corner of Xiao Chuqian's mouth turned up: "Even if I really made it up, you don't dare to bet, you still spared my life."

Seeing that the expression in Ling Qiyou's eyes became darker, Xiao Chuqian's smiling face became more glaring: "Or, in fact, you really don't want me to die at all?"

Ling Qiyou clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to control the urge to stab him to death now, Xiao Chuqian raised his chin slightly, and insisted on his request: "Let me out, and you will sit firmly in the country in the future, and I promise not to look for you again trouble."

The one who answered him was the back of Ling Qiyou leaving in a huff.

On the second day, the clown came to report, saying that Xiao Chuqian was finally willing to eat after the meal was returned, and did not bring up the matter again. Ling Qiyou curled his lips coldly, not interested in asking about his life or death.

Then the people from the Chong En Palace came to invite him with embarrassment, saying that the little prince was crying all the time, vomited after eating milk, and the empress could not be coaxed well, begging His Majesty to go and have a look.

Ling Qiyou threw out two words indifferently: "No."

The clown persuaded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you should go and have a look. These days, every night, the slaves feel that they can hear His Highness crying, it's so pitiful..."

Ling Qiyou glanced at him, but when the clown shut up in fright, he suddenly changed his mind and stood up.

The NPC who came to report the matter breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed Ling Qiyou back to Chong'en Hall.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Empress Empress who is confinement is currently pacing back and forth in the main hall of Chong En Hall with the crying little prince in her arms, her face full of helplessness and anxiety. To save face, from the first day when the ugly father-in-law delivered it, no matter who hugged him or coaxed him, he kept crying. Even the most experienced nanny had no way to deal with him, except for the couple who fell asleep after crying. For an hour he kept wailing, refused to drink milk, and the nanny vomited up after force-feeding him. Such a small child would die young if he continued like this.

Seeing Ling Qiyou coming, Xu Xinlan hurriedly handed over the little prince to the nanny, went forward, bowed and asked for the crime: "The concubine is incompetent, I really can't take care of the little prince, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ling Qiyou's eyes fell on the little baby whom the nanny suspected behind her, and she paused for a while, the nanny had already carried the little prince forward with great interest, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are the royal father of His Highness, You can hug him..."

Ling Qiyou didn't move, but everyone in the hall looked at him helplessly, no one spoke, only the little prince who was hoarse from crying was still sobbing and choking.

After a while, Ling Qiyou stretched out his hand slowly, and took the poor child from the nanny's hand.

The soft body seemed to shatter if squeezed, Ling Qiyou's hands trembled unconsciously, the little baby who was still crying just now miraculously stopped, and the little big hands grabbed Ling Qiyou He refused to let go of his sleeves and looked at him tearfully.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the little prince finally stopped crying, and someone complimented him: "His Royal Highness really cannot do without His Majesty, Your Majesty, look how much Your Highness looks like you..."

However, Ling Qiyou was so startled that he almost trembled and threw the child to the ground. It was so similar, those eyes were exactly the same as Xiao Chuqian's.

Seeing Ling Qiyou's uneasiness, the clown hurriedly reached out to take the child. As soon as the little prince was in his hands, he started crying again, so even the ugly father-in-law wanted to cry now, and in the end it was Ling Qiyou After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand again: "Give it to me."

Leaving Chong'en Hall with the little prince, Ling Qiyou had no choice but to raise the child himself, the little baby couldn't leave him for a moment, the nanny howled as soon as she hugged him out of Ling Qiyou's sight, and finally even the cradle They were all placed beside Ling Qiyou's bed. Ling Qiyou could only go to court to deal with political affairs after coaxing him to sleep. The day is even harder.

More than once, when the little guy was crying so much, Ling Qiyou wanted to strangle this scoundrel, which he seemed to be ashamed of, twice. He even stretched his hands around his neck, but the pair with tears in his eyes With grievances in his eyes, he didn't do anything, and in the end he had no choice but to compromise.

After more than half a month like this, due to the many things in the court hall, the end of the court meeting was half an hour later than usual. Ling Qiyou returned to the bedroom, but unexpectedly found that the little prince who had already woken up had a rare day. No fuss, no fuss, obediently being hugged by the nanny, seems quite happy, grinning from time to time.

The little eunuch at the side reported to him that His Highness woke up and cried half an hour ago, and they couldn't coax him well after taking turns. Then the little prince suddenly stopped crying, and his eyes kept sticking to the corner. They thought it was the little prince watching After hitting something that was there, he took it for the little prince to play with. It was a jade pendant. After that, the little prince kept holding on to the jade pendant and refused to let go.

Ling Qiyou narrowed his eyes when he saw the thing tightly grasped by the little baby's immature hands, and asked the clown in displeasure: "Where did that thing come from?"

The clown took a look, and hurriedly said: "Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he moved from the East Palace to this Zhaode Palace. When the palace was moved, the servants found it in the corner of the wall. The servants saw that the jade pendant was of good quality, so they brought it along with them. A decoration..."

It's just that Ling Qiyou didn't notice it before because it was placed in the corner.

"threw."

The clown was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, of course he didn't dare to disobey his order, he went forward and took the jade pendant from the young prince's hand, but as soon as the jade pendant was released, the little guy started howling again, the clown looked at Ling Qi in embarrassment You, seeing that he didn't change his mind, gritted his teeth and handed it to another little eunuch, signaling to go out and throw it away.

Ling Qiyou hugged the little guy into his hands. Although the little guy stopped crying, he was still choking, as if he was full of grievances. Ling Qiyou lowered his eyes, but his heart was extremely unhappy. It was Xiao Chuqian's thing. It was worn with me, but it suddenly disappeared and I don't know where it went. It turned out to be in the East Palace.

The clown was still muttering: "Your Majesty, finally there is a way to make His Highness not cry or make noise when you are not around, why do you..."

Ling Qiyou stared at him, the clown shrank his neck and lowered his head, not daring to speak anymore.

After a while, Ling Qiyou gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go and help me with something."

☆、10·Eunuch

dungeon.

While half asleep, Xiao Chuqian was woken up by someone, looked at the small stone in front of him, and asked with a smile, "What time is it? Have dinner so early today?"

After being locked up in this ghost place for so many months, now the only thing Xiao Chuqian thinks about every day is eating and drinking, Xiao Shitou is annoyed: "Get up, the ugly father-in-law is here."

"Your Majesty is down?"

"I wish you well, but the ugly father-in-law has come and said he wants to take you out, so get up quickly."

Xiao Chuqian sat up calmly, shook his neck that was almost stiff from sleep, then stood up, followed the little stone, and climbed up the stone steps of this dungeon for the first time in a long time.

Opening the cell door, the glare of the sun made him feel a little uncomfortable for a while, until the clown's unceremonious voice sounded beside him: "By His Majesty's order, the prisoner is escorted out of the dungeon, let's go."

Xiao Chuqian paused, and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"You just follow along, why ask so many questions?" The clown was also very angry at him, waved his hand and asked two eunuchs to escort him, one on the left and one on the right, and took him away.

Xiao Chuqian didn't bother to ask any more, so he closed his eyes and let others drive him away to save some energy.

The place where the clown took him was an unremarkable courtyard in the north corner of the imperial palace. Xiao Chuqian had never been here before, so it was new for a while. He opened his eyes and looked around. Just as he was about to ask questions, he was kicked in. In a dark room with no light.

Without waiting for him to say more, the eunuchs who were holding him pressed him onto the bed from left to right, and another eunuch came up and pulled his pants.

In desperation, Xiao Chuqian tightened his trouser waist with both hands, and asked the clown with a sharp dagger in his hand with a smile: "Ugly father-in-law, what are you going to do?"

The clown squinted at him: "What do you think?"

"This...don't be kidding."

"Who is joking with you?" The other party said angrily: "Break your descendant's roots, let you be an eunuch like us from now on, that is flattering you, don't be ashamed."

The smile on Xiao Chuqian's face froze, and he asked him: "Is... what His Majesty meant?"

The clown snorted softly, which was considered a tacit consent.

Seeing several people come up to pull, the trousers were pulled down after three or two twitches, and the clown's hand was already on his thigh, Xiao Chuqian was so startled that he quickly covered his private parts with both hands, and the eunuch who was holding him down again He was pulled away, so he yelled out loudly: "Don't! Don't! We have something to discuss!"

"Is there anything else to discuss, my father-in-law is doing things according to the order, so don't waste my time," the clown was impatient, and was about to raise his knife, Xiao Chuqian shouted: "If you castrate me, your majesty's affairs will be settled tomorrow." Let the whole world know about it!"

When the clown heard this, his hands shook in anger, the blade in his hand almost fell off, and he glared fiercely at Xiao Chuqian, who was not to be outdone, raised his chin, and insisted: "I'm not joking with you either, I do what I say."

"Your Majesty doesn't believe your rhetoric at all!"

"Come on, if he really doesn't believe it, ten months ago
