A few days after the prince's wedding, the emperor seemed to have exhausted the last ounce of effort, and suddenly fainted in the hall in the early morning.

    The courtiers were in an uproar, the prince already knew the emperor's physical condition, his eyes were tearful and grief-stricken.

     

     

    My belly is getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Wan didn't sleep peacefully at night, suddenly woke up at night, subconsciously touched his side but found that there was no one, even the bedding was cold.

    At this moment, the sky suddenly exploded with a thunder, the clouds rumbled, and there was a patter of rain outside the window, she breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sticky sweat on her face , I want to call Caifeng Palm Lamp, and ask Zhong Lizhao why he hasn't come back.

    "But you were woken up by a thunderstorm? Don't be afraid." A clear and gentle voice sounded, and Jiang Wan noticed a dark figure standing at the end of the bed. It was Zhong Lizhao, who she thought had not yet returned. .

    Jiang Wan sighed and asked, "When did His Highness come back?"

    Zhong Lizhao did not answer, the summer night was sultry and tight, especially before the torrential rain, although a rain poured down and threw away the heat of the earth, the sweltering heat in the house But still there.

    He was silent for a while, Jiang Wanyue couldn't bear the sultry heat, plus Zhong Lizhao's attitude was weird tonight, and he couldn't stop being irritable, so he urged Zhong Lizhao to go to bed quickly.

    "I will enter the palace tomorrow. If Your Highness doesn't sleep, how can your body endure it. Your body has finally recovered in the past two years, so don't mess with yourself and make yourself sick. "

    Zhong Lizhao made a "hmm", walked to the bed, took off his robe, and lay down beside Jiang Wan.

    Jiang Wan always felt that he was a little strange tonight and opened his mouth to ask, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

    During this time, the emperor fell ill, and there were many things in the court. .

    In the dark night, she heard Zhong Lizhao turn over. Although it was pitch black, she could feel that he was looking at her with clear eyes, and then she turned around and put her in her arms, chin on her shoulder.

    Jiang Wan wanted to push him away because of the heat, but he heard him in a low tone: "Wan Wan, the emperor has died."

    "When did it happen?" She was startled and quickly opened her eyes.

    He closed his eyes and said in a tired voice: "In the evening, the prince just reported the news that the prince was pregnant, he was happy for a while, and after talking to the prince and me for a long time, Said he was going to sleep. I didn't expect..."

    Unexpectedly, she couldn't wake up and died in her sleep. Jiang Wan took his words automatically in her heart.

    

    The emperor was most concerned about the prince and his younger brother. Now that the prince is married and has an heir, he has nothing to worry about.

     

    Jiang Wan held his hand and answered in a low voice, comforting him silently.

    Although he and the emperor are brothers, in Jiang Wan's view, the emperor actually played the role of a father in Zhong Lizhao's life. So the emperor died, he must be sad.

    This sadness is not revealed in front of outsiders, only when I come back to myself can I reveal one or two.

    Jiang Wan didn't say much to comfort her. What Zhong Lizhao needed at this moment was quietness and the company of her and her children. She silently stroked Zhong Lizhao's hair, put his hand on her belly, and felt the presence of the child in her belly.

     

    Zhong Lizhao only slept for two hours, and before dawn the next day, he was already up and rustling in front of the bed, Jiang Wan slept for a long time during the day, and soon He woke up, sat up from the bed and asked him what time it was.

    "It's Hai Shi, and it's still early before you go to sleep." He had just called when he woke up.

    After a sleep, Zhongli Zhao's eyebrows were still dark, but he looked much better than last night. He changed his clothes and said to Jiang Wan: "I have asked Duan Yan to go on. , I'll change the top and bottom of the house to white silk later, I'll go to the palace, you can rest for a while, and let Liu Yu accompany you to the palace after breakfast."

    Jiang Wan shook her head, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I can't sleep, I will go to the palace with you, Your Highness."

    The emperor passed away last night, and this morning all the female relatives of the clan must enter the palace and kneel. Although I am pregnant, I am not exempt.

    Zhong Lizhao frowned, glanced at her and did not refuse, only instructed: "You don't have to kneel for too long when you arrive in the palace, when you are with the crown princess, there will be a female official to take care of you."

    "At that time, it will be a clan, so it's not too conspicuous." Jiang Wan hesitated. After all, it is the emperor's immortality, and there are many female relatives of the clan in the palace, which is easy to provoke people and cause trouble for Zhong Lizhao.

    "The emperor waited for a long time before he came to see you and my baby, no one dared to say anything." Zhong Lizhao brought her clothes, helped her put them on and touched her cheek, Tentacles are warm and greasy.

    The two simply had breakfast and entered the palace together. When they arrived in the palace, the clan members were almost all there. The courtiers knelt down behind the clan, Jiang Wan and Zhong Li Zhao separated and went to the place where the female family knelt.

    After kneeling down, she looked back and could see Zhong Lizhao's concerned expression.

    The emperor's funeral was not very solemn, this was what he requested before his death, but there were still many things. Although Jiang Wan and the crown princess didn't have to be busy because they were pregnant, they were still dizzy at the end of the day. Brain swelling.

    She and the princess didn't kneel for too long, someone would help them to rest, and then come out and kneel for a while.

    "Aunt Huang has to take care of herself, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable." The princess looked pale, but she did not forget to care about Jiang Wan.

    She is a gentle woman, and the prince respects Zhong Lizhao, the little uncle, so she is naturally the closest to Jiang Wan.

    Jiang Wan's eyes swept over her and nodded to thank her for her kindness.

    In just half a year, the princess has lost a lot of weight, the baby fat on her face has disappeared, and she looks much thinner.

    "Prince Princess should also take care." She couldn't help saying.

    After the emperor's funeral, although he didn't suffer any hardships, Jiang Wan still lost a lot of weight, and Liu Yu and Cai Feng were very worried.

    After sending the emperor's coffin out of the city, Jiang Wan was fine. When he left the palace, Liu Yu seemed to remember something and told Jiang Wan: "My servant heard that before your Majesty's death, he Pointed the prince to two Liang Di."

    Jiang Wan originally leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes, but she opened her eyes and said, "Isn't the Crown Princess already pregnant?"

    Liu Yu only said: "The fathers of those two Liang Di are important officials in the court."

    Jiang Wan lowered her head and pondered for a while, realizing that this was the emperor who did not trust the prince, afraid that he would not be able to control the world at a young age, so he chose the minister. Although this is his fatherly love, it is not a good feeling for the princess who just got married, especially the prince is very affectionate with her.

    She sighed. Although she sympathized with the princess in her heart, she also knew that she could not help.

    Although she knew that this was the common nature of men in this era, Jiang Wan still felt sad. When they returned to the house, the two of them were very tired. He kept mentioning this to Zhong Lizhao.

    "Fortunately, His Royal Highness is only a prince." She couldn't help but feel fortunate.

    Hearing her childish words, Zhong Lizhao slightly stretched his brows and eyes, hugged her tightly and said, "It is good for the emperor to love the prince, but the chicks always leave the nest that shelters him from the wind and rain. He is young, but his temperament is gentle but not weak. He has experienced a lot in the past two years, and it will not take long for him to be in power alone. The people who are left to him by the imperial brother will become the ones who shackle him."

    "Isn't there His Highness? His Highness is the prince's uncle, and he will go to the prince." Jiang Wan was puzzled.

    The candles in the room flickered, Zhong Lizhao's eyes were dazzled, and his dark eyes were so deep that people couldn't see the bottom. already."

    "Huh?" Jiang Wan's eyes widened.

    Zhong Lizhao stroked her back again and again, and sighed: "The situation in the court is complicated, and only by restraining it in many ways can the emperor's brother's heart be reassured."

    Jiang Wan understood, but it was difficult to understand.

    The emperor is worried about Zhong Lizhao again? But when the emperor wanted to pass the throne to Zhong Lizhao, Zhong Lizhao obviously refused.

    Seeing her doubts, Zhong Lizhao raised a strand of his hair and said, "The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. Although I didn't want to be an emperor at that time, it doesn't mean I don't want to be an emperor in the future. Once some ideas are started, they are very difficult to end.”

    His tone was flat, clearly saying that his closest brother was suspicious of him, but he was not sad at all.

    "Your Highness was sad that day, is that because of it?" Jiang Wan asked.

    Zhong Lizhao shook his head, "Brother Huang did the right thing. If I were the elder brother, I would do the same. He did this for my own good. Although I am as close as a father and son to the crown prince, But no one can tell what will happen in the future. He did this not only for the crown prince, but also for me. He really wanted to pass the throne to me."

    Jiang Wan nodded and gradually understood. The emperor did this because he was afraid that Zhong Lizhao would regret it and become enemies with the prince. The second is that he was afraid that the prince would see Zhong Lizhao's high position and be suspicious of Zhong Lizhao, so he simply supported a few people to check each other with Zhong Lizhao before his death, so that the prince could trust Zhong Lizhao wholeheartedly.

    "I'm not sad. Brother Huang gave me an imperial decree before the immortal. No matter what crime the King Jing's mansion committed, no one can move you and me." Zhong Lizhao's mouth twitched slightly.

    Jiang Wan didn't know about this, she only knew that the emperor had decreed that King Jing's throne would never be downgraded, and he would never cut the clan.

     

    On the day when the prince ascended the throne, the wind was clear and the air was clear. Jiang Wan and everyone knelt down to worship the new emperor. He heard a familiar "ding" in the crowd, and then saw a familiar thing.

    [Find the target, start binding]

    Several big characters appeared on the top of Xindi's head, she glanced at the crown princess not far away, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.

    Thinking about it, this system has some advantages, doesn't it?
