After Marrying the Disabled Crown Prince of the Enemy Country

The painting of Lezhi sits on the swing, with frowning eyes, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

This is the scene where she and Huo Du watched the moon together when they were in Shengyang City that day. The only difference is that in the painting, her side is empty.

without him.

Le Zhi's eyes gradually revealed a little puzzlement.

Neither his paintings nor his words.

Over the past few days, the two have experienced many things, and Le Zhi naturally knew that Huo Du had her in his heart. However, as far as he is concerned, she does not know how much she weighs.

Or, she deliberately didn't think about it...

At this moment, the same is true.

Le Zhi covered the confusion in his eyes, turned to stand up calmly, and asked him with a serious face, "Did Your Highness know the will of dethroning the prince?"

Huo Du gave a low laugh, but there was a little sigh hidden in this laughter.

"Lezhi, I'm not an immortal," he said.

Strategize and calculate people's hearts, identify the tricks and traps around you, and think about countermeasures early.

—This is what he has been doing every day for as long as he can remember.

And these are just games again and again. It's just that he wins every time, but who can guarantee that he will win every time?

People who walk on the edge of the cliff, if they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss forever.

Le Zhi was stunned, and his heart suddenly felt suffocated for a moment.

She had never seen him like this.

So, she slowly approached him and hugged him gently. The soft cheeks rubbed against his chest, as if comforting and soothing.

After a long while, Le Zhi let go of him and asked, "Then next..."

Huo Du looked at her with unconcealed tenderness in the bottom of his eyes, and Le Zhi's words were halfway off when he asked, and she suddenly did not dare to ask any more.

I dare not ask him about his plans, for fear that his plans run counter to his own.

"Your Highness, do you know about Shen Qingyan?" Le Zhi changed his words and asked with a frown, "Today Huo Xu forcibly took her back, does she have..."

"Yes." Huo Duqi's eyes were deep and concise.

Not even a fairy?

Obviously know everything.

As if seeing the meaning in Le Zhi's eyes, he said again, "It's also the news that I only learned this morning."

Le Zhi nodded, not surprised, but was anxious because he confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

"Nothing else to ask me?"

Huo Du did not ignore half of the question that Fang Cailezhi didn't ask. He knew what she wanted to ask, and he didn't plan to hide it from her.

It's just that he had to listen to her own questions.

Huo Du knew exactly what she was afraid of.

The dead knot between them, no one dared to mention it on the bright side, but the dead knot will not disappear just because it is not mentioned. Even if the love is strong, it will continue to melt this knot.

Acquaintance so far, experienced various. Could it be that he still doesn't understand that her ultimate goal is not only Huo Xu, but Huo Changyun?

Huo Du understands, he understands it all.

He knew all her panic and timidity.

He laid out the most perfect game he could imagine, and he was confident he could untangle the knot between them. It's just that he stubbornly hopes that she can ask him.

He looked at everything coldly, but tied his lifelong paranoia to her alone.

"No more." Le Zhi shook his head and said softly, "I know that His Highness must have made a comprehensive arrangement. It's just that I still want to help Shen Qingyan. As far as His Highness is concerned, there may be more support from Shen Huai, but it's not bad thing."

After saying that, she bypassed Huo Du and walked out.

It's just that when she turned her back to him, the calmness and reason on her face disappeared instantly. Everything in front of her became foggy, but she didn't dare to raise her hand to wipe it, she didn't want Huo Du to know that she was crying.

The steps under her feet were getting faster and faster, and she almost ran out of the greenhouse.

If he stayed a little longer, Le Zhi was afraid that he couldn't help asking him, couldn't help telling him his plans, and couldn't help but force him to choose between his biological father and her.

She even greedily hoped that he could choose her.

Outside the flower house, the white snow seemed to fall with ice flowers.

The tears in the corners of her eyes were blown back by the cold wind, and Le Zhi pressed the red end of her eyes with her hand, letting the cold wind blow away the greed that she could no longer think about in her heart. Not long after, she hurried into the wind and snow.

She had to hurry up to understand Shen Qingyan's current situation.

The heat in the flower room was warm, and Huo Du stared at the drawing paper, like falling into an ice cellar.

After a long time, he picked up the brush on the gardener's table and broke it.

Then, he closed his dark eyes.

Since the decree of abolishing the prince spread, the whole court was in an uproar, and the civil and military officials suddenly felt that the king was unpredictable. And the happiest thing is Huo Xu. Just after the ban was lifted, and when he learned of such a happy event, Huo Xu's whole person was in a state of air.

Sure enough, the person the father wanted was still him. The previous anger and grounding were just tempering him.

Now that the crown prince is up in the air, he must be the next to occupy the East Palace!

"His Royal Highness, do you still go to the West Court for dinner?"

Qin Yu's questioning pulled back his thoughts, Huo Xu wanted to answer, but a pale and weak face suddenly appeared in his mind. His heart moved slightly, he remembered the words of his mother, and decided not to be self-willed.

After all, he was going to be the emperor.

"Don't go to the West Court," he said.

A trace of stunned expression appeared on Qin Yu's face.

If you don't go to the west courtyard, then you want to have a meal with the three emperors?

"Tell the pantry to cook more dishes that she likes to eat."

The recent success of happy events made Huo Xu happy, and even his impatience with Shen Qingyan was reduced by three points. In fact, he didn't hate her that much... but when he married her at that time, he was unwilling to put his anger on her.

Now, Shen Qingyan resisted and rejected him like that, but instead made him miss the little girl who happily called him "Brother Axu" by his side.

It doesn't matter, there are even children now. Huo Xu didn't believe it, she could keep him cold all the time. As long as he takes the initiative, she will definitely return to the past.

He was sure.

Let it go in the past. In the future, he will still seal Shen Qingyan as his concubine. As long as she is obedient, he doesn't mind being nice to her.

As for Jiang Man, to be honest, when he first heard that she was pregnant, his joy was particularly strong. Jiang Man looks like Zhizhi, she and his children must be very similar to him and Zhizhi.

But things were different now. Huo Du was deposed, and it was hard to stop him. Zhizhi will soon be able to return to his side.

When the genuine product came back, the fake product was naturally a little disgusting. In addition to the previous farce, even if Zhizhi is considerate, the more women care, the more jealous they will become. In the future, when Zhizhi sees Jiang Man and her children every day, she will definitely remember this past time and time again.

Huo Xu didn't want a thorn between Zhizhi and him.

Therefore, he plans to keep Jiang Man and her children outside the palace after he ascends the throne in the future. Although she was a bit wronged, she was not a woman of noble birth. She should be satisfied with letting her live a life of prosperity, wealth, food and clothing without worry?

Thinking of this, Huo Xu smiled with satisfaction.

Qin Yu's expression was complicated, and he just answered lightly and went down to call someone to prepare a meal.

The twilight was all around, and the dining room was filled with the aroma of vegetables.

Shen Qingyan sat quietly at the dining table, not knowing how to eat. She didn't understand why Huo Xu came to accompany her for dinner, shouldn't he be more reckless in the current situation? Why are you still pretending?

Soon she put down the silver chopsticks and sat quietly with a gloomy expression.

"Are these dishes unpalatable?" Huo Xu looked up at her and asked, "Are you still feeling sick?"

Such a warm and warm tone, to Shen Qingyan, seemed like a lifetime away. Before she married Huo Xu, he always spoke to her in such a gentle tone, letting her indulge in his gentle appearance and sink her feet into the mud.

She didn't answer, just looked at his face silently.

How many masks are there on this gentle and calm face?

Shen Qingyan didn't know, and couldn't count them.

She just felt embarrassed and disgusted.

The fragrant chicken soup on the table floated to the nose, causing Shen Qingyan to tilt her head and vomit.

"Are you all right?"

Huo Xu hurriedly got up and walked to Shen Qingyan's side, reaching out and patting her back lightly. But as soon as I touched it, I was amazed. How could she be so thin...

Because of the winter, she was wearing thick clothes, so she couldn't see anything. But when I touched it with my palm, I realized that she had lost weight.

"Who prepared dinner today?" Huo Xu suddenly became angry and his voice became heavy: "Remove these greasy dishes and replace them with lighter ones!"

"Yes!" The maids on the side were all trembling with fright, and quickly walked out.

Shen Qingyan sneered in her heart.

Moody and hypocritical, this is the real him.

It's disgusting.

To avoid Huo Xu's anger at the innocent servant, Shen Qingyan had no choice but to say lightly, "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was finally willing to speak, Huo Xu secretly rejoiced in his heart, and moved his palm up, he rubbed Shen Qingyan's head, and said softly, "You eat too little, I'll use more later."

Shen Qingyan didn't want to have a pointless argument with him, so she nodded her head in agreement with him.

At this time, a maid came hurriedly from outside. But she didn't dare to enter the room, she just stood hesitantly outside the hall, looking anxious.

Huo Xu naturally saw it. This maid he recognizes, is the maid of the West Courtyard.

But he didn't call her in.

Could it be that Shen Qingyan softened his attitude towards him, Huo Xu didn't want to destroy the harmony and tranquility of this moment.

However, Shen Qingyan opened her mouth to call the maid into the hall, and she asked, "What's the matter?"

"See Your Highness, Prince Concubine." The maid saluted respectfully, bowed her head and said, "The lord of the West Court has been in constant abdominal pain, and just now has a lot of blood..."

"Did the doctor pass?" Huo Xu frowned and asked.

"It's gone. But the Lord keeps screaming in pain..."

The frowning brows were tightened, and Huo Xu looked at Shen Qingyan with worry. For some reason, he suddenly cared about Shen Qingyan's attitude, and didn't want to go to the West Court to accompany Jiang Man at this time.

But, after all, it was his child.

For a while, it was a dilemma.

"Let's go over and take a look, Your Highness."

Huo Xu couldn't help but be startled by the soft tone of voice. He looked at Shen Qingyan's indifferent expression, and his heart was a little dull. After a while, he still nodded and walked out.

Shen Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to thank Jiang Man for calling him away, otherwise it would be suffocating and uncomfortable to stay under the same roof with him.

"Lvying, let's go back to the room."

"Master don't use more?" Lu Ying looked worried, although she also hated Huo Xu, but she felt that he was right this time, master should use more.

These days, the master has been very sad and has been vomiting, and the whole person has lost weight visibly. She looked distressed.

But Shen Qingyan still shook her head, "No."

Here, she really has no appetite at all.

The master and servant walked to the bedroom together, Lu Ying supported her in one hand and the lantern in the other, carefully watching the road ahead.

Suddenly, a figure passed by, and his speed was so fast that neither of them had time to exclaim. When he regained his senses, he had disappeared into the night.

—It is Deshun.

Lu Ying clenched her palm tightly, and just now he shoved a note into her hand. The two didn't say much, just quickened their pace and returned to the bedroom.

Shen Qingyan kept her eyes on the paper for a long time.

Then, she gradually closed her palms and clenched her fists.

There are only two simple sentences on the note.

The child in Jiang Man's womb is not Huo Xu's.

Watch out for Jiang Man.

She had heard Jiang Man's voice with a man in the room earlier in the western courtyard. After learning that she was pregnant, Shen Qingyan didn't think that the child in her womb might not be...

But she can't take care of herself, and naturally she doesn't bother to care about these things.

Now it's different. Jiang Man has intentionally hurt her, so she brought it on herself.

There was a candle on the table, Shen Qingyan handed the note to the candle and watched it burn to ashes.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Man asked the servant to carry the food box and walked towards Shen Qingyan's house. The hand hanging by her side was clenched tightly, and her soft lips were bitten with a red mark.

She originally didn't want to take this step, but yesterday, Huo Xu started ignoring her in order to accompany Shen Qingyan. Even if she deliberately pretended to have abdominal pain to attract him later, he was impatient with her.

In the past, she was Huo Xu's substitute for Bai Yueguang, naturally pressing Shen Qingyan everywhere. But now, he has begun to waver, he has begun to care about Shen Qingyan, even if she is pregnant, she still won't get his attention.

no!

She has been a stand-in for too long, and has been enjoying Huo Xu's tenderness towards true love. Now that it has disappeared, how can she accept it?

Jiang Man thought that it would be fine as long as Shen Qingyan disappeared.

At least...her children shouldn't exist.

It was a great threat to her.

That kid shouldn't come.

As her thoughts drifted away, she had walked to the front of the house.

In the bedroom, Shen Qingyan was wearing a sapphire blue skirt, and she even put on some lip balm today to cover her weak complexion. Because of the news from Deshun last night, she was not surprised that Jiang Man came to greet her for the first time ever.

The corners of her lips twitched, and her eyes suddenly cooled.

"Let her in."

Jiang Man came with the horns of the goose-yellow skirt. She greeted Shen Qingyan with a soft and blissful body, and said, "See the prince concubine."

Although the two knew each other's existence, this was the first time they had officially met.

"No ceremony." Shen Qingyan smiled lightly, "Sit down."

Jiang Man sat down according to his words. After a pause, she called the maid next to her and opened the food box she brought. Then she showed a well-behaved smile to Shen Qingyan, and said softly, "I heard that you have been very happy these past two days. I heard that this supplement is very good for pregnant people, and the servants came uninvited, just for you. Here comes the soup."

She called herself a slave and was extremely submissive. Although this move was a bit deliberate, Jiang Man thought about Shen Qingyan's indisputable temperament in the past, and that most noble girls were innocent, so she came over impatiently.

And, she really couldn't wait.

"I used more breakfast, and now I can't eat it anymore." Shen Qingyan sighed softly, and said regretfully, "It's a pity to waste such a good soup. Why don't you drink it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Man's heart tightened, and a coolness swept through his body. She couldn't tell if Shen Qingyan really couldn't eat it, or if she was suspicious and testing her.

"Slave, slave and maid have already used it today."

"Since it is a good supplement, why not use more?" Shen Qingyan smiled gently, "Don't be nervous, you are also pregnant, so you should use more."

Jiang Man was stunned, completely panicked.

Originally, she didn't think that Shen Qingyan was her rival, a noble girl who had been raised in a boudoir since she was a child, how could she know that people's hearts were unpredictable? In the past, when she was a servant girl in a big family, she had long been clear about the squeamishness of those eldest young ladies. She thought that Shen Qingyan was like this, but she didn't expect...

It was her who underestimated the enemy.

"Many thanks to the concubine, the servants really can't eat it." Jiang Man's eyes were flustered, and he stood up tremblingly, "The servants are a little uncomfortable, so I will go back first, and I will come to greet you another day."

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Qingyan to reply, she turned around and walked out.

There was a bad premonition in his heart for no reason, Jiang Man walked out embarrassingly, wanting to get out of here quickly.

Shen Qingyan's face sank when she turned around.

If not guilty, why go so quickly?

"Come on, hold her."

A clear and cold voice entered Jiang Man's eardrums, her feet softened and she almost fell out of the door. Fortunately, the two servants detained her and brought her to Shen Qingyan...

"What do you mean? Is it possible that you will punish me because the servants refuse to drink this soup?"

Although Jiang Man was afraid, she was pregnant, so she had some confidence.

"If you don't drink the soup, it's not a big deal. If you add something else to the soup, it's a big thing." Shen Qingyan didn't go around with her, and said directly: "If you drink it, today's matter will end here, how about it? "

Eye circles dizzy red, Jiang Man trembled: "You, you..."

For some reason, she suddenly felt that she was seen through by Shen Qingyan.

"Go and invite the third prince."

Not long after, Huo Xu came. As soon as he entered the room, a small whimper fell into his ears, and he frowned and looked at Jiang Man who was crying.

Doubt appeared in his eyes.

"presumptuous!"

This was said to the two servants who were holding Jiang Man. Rao did something wrong, and his woman shouldn't be grabbed by the man next to her.

Being yelled at like this, the two servants let go...

"Master!" Jiang Man threw himself into Huo Xu's arms, tears streaming down his face, "Uuuu..."

Huo Xu frowned and looked straight at Shen Qingyan: "What happened?"

"She put a slippery pill in the soup and brought it for me to drink."

"What?" Huo Xu was startled, he let go of the person in his arms with a look of disbelief, "You..."

"This servant is wronged, this is just an ordinary bowl of soup." Jiang Man bit his lip, vowing to bite to death, "How can the imperial concubine wrong me with empty words?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan curved her lips and sneered: "Whether you've been wronged or not, you can find out by checking with the doctor."

"Call the doctor."

Jiang Man insisted, she would not admit it.

Even if the doctor finds out, as long as she refuses to admit it, she will leave everything to the pantry. Without any evidence, plus the flesh in her belly, what can they do to her!

"Before the doctor comes, there is another matter, I don't think Your Highness knows about it yet?"

This early in the morning, Huo Xu was invited here before he had breakfast. It was so noisy that it really annoyed him!

"What's the matter?"

"Jiang Man through the room, fornicating with others."

This time, Huo Xu's face turned completely dark. He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Man, only to see her eyes dazed, as if stupid. Seeing this, he had no choice but to turn to look at Shen Qingyan, "Do you have any evidence?"

Shen Qingyan remained expressionless, raised her hand to point to Jiang Man's belly, "The evidence is in her belly."

"You, you spit out blood!"

Jiang Man almost collapsed, she didn't believe it, how could Shen Qingyan know!

Must... must have blown her up!

"Don't be in a hurry." Shen Qingyan said lightly, "Your Highness, the court has a secret method that can test the relationship between the child in the womb and the father. After a while, someone will invite Imperial Physician Jiang to test it."

After a short pause, she continued: "To ensure fairness, the baby in my womb can also test it."

"Boom-"

Jiang Man fell to the ground, his eyes were as dead as ever.

She is completely done.

This look, even if you don't test it, who can't see it?

Huo Xu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He naturally knew that there was no palace secret. How could the child still be in the womb be tested? But it was Shen Qingyan who bombed her.

However, this woman dared to betray him! ?

He treated her so well, not only did she not know how to be grateful, but she actually dared to betray him!

"Who is that man?" His eyes were like sharp arrows, about to shoot through the woman kneeling on the ground.

"He, he..." Jiang Man's eyes were red and he trembled in fear.

But that's the child's father, how could she tell him?

"Huh!" Huo Xu smiled sternly, "Don't tell me? Do you think I won't be able to find it if you don't tell me?"

"Come on, drag this **** down and kill him!"

"No!" Jiang Man suddenly rushed forward, clutching Huo Xu's trousers tightly, she was not afraid of death, but her children shouldn't have no chance to come to the world, "I beg you, my servant, I beg you! Forgive me. I'll do it this time!"

"Look at me, look at me! I, I'm Xiaozhi!" She began to panic, trying to use this very Lezhi-like face in exchange for his compassion.

Sure enough, Huo Xu's eyes moved slightly. It's just that his icy eyes changed to a more gloomy color.

"Twigs?"

He smiled coldly, but she dared to compare with Zhizhi. This vulgar slut, since he likes wild men so much, he will fulfill her!

"Someone, sell her to a dark prostitute."

Dark. Prostitutes?

The person who is sent to that place can no longer be called a person.

Jiang Man suddenly fainted. Then a few minions drag her down...

Shen Qingyan originally looked at all this indifferently, but when she heard the darkness, her heart shrank involuntarily. She stared at Huo Xu in a daze, a feeling of sadness rose in her heart.

This man is really cruel.

Jiang Man... Being sold to that kind of place is a life rather than death.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Huo Xu was rubbing his brows and his heart ached when he heard the sound and walked out with a gloomy expression. Shen Qingyan also followed to the door and listened carefully. Some familiar voices were vaguely heard.

Could it be... my father is here?

A trace of joy appeared in her heart, and she lifted her legs and walked out.

"how?"

"Master, don't worry, Deshun has sent the latest news. Miss Shen is fine, Jiang Man has been sold to the dark brothel."

Le Zhixiu frowned—

Dark. Prostitutes?

Before she could think about it, a person sat on the stone bench beside her.

"Go down first." She said to Li Yao.

Then, she turned her gaze to her side. Huo Du ignored her, just poured a cup of tea on his own, and sipped it lightly.

Since the flower house yesterday, the two have tacitly ignored each other.

Obviously there was no quarrel, but for no reason, the two suddenly started to freeze.

Therefore, last night, she had to hold Huo Xiaoli to sleep...

The result, of course, was an obvious lack of sleep.

Le Zhi quietly watched Huo Du drinking tea. He was also greener now, and he must not have slept well last night. Suddenly, he looked up at her...

She was stunned and turned her head away.

In fact, Le Zhi couldn't figure out what he was hiding. But there is a voice in my heart that is getting clearer and clearer-

Between them, it seems that the end is about to come to an end.

At this time, An Xuan came over, and he said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, he is here."

he?

who is it?

Le Zhi lowered his eyes, a little curious.

Then, she heard the footsteps of Huo Du getting up and leaving. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at his back.

But before taking a few steps, Huo Du stopped, turned around resolutely and walked back towards her. He turned suddenly, and before Le Zhi could react, he had already walked in front of her.

"Who is the person here, what are they here for, their relationship with me, and my next plan." Huo Du fixed her eyebrows and asked each word, "You really don't have one. ask?"

He asked in a casual tone.

Coca-Cola can just hear it, he should be very angry...
