"If the emperor has no heirs, the country, the country, the country..."

Princess Changyang felt excited when she thought that Emperor Mingwen was ill.

"The emperor has no heirs, so he will definitely choose an heir from among the royal clan. Who does mother think is most likely?"

"Of course it's Prince Xiao!" Princess Changyang said without hesitation.

Emperor Mingwen and Prince Xiao were brothers. In terms of closeness, Prince Xiao's bloodline must have been closer.

"No, this is too risky. When the emperor has his own heir, that child will be nothing!"

Princess Changyang felt nervous and uneasy when she thought about that position.

"There are not many miracle doctors in this world. If there were, the emperor would have an heir long ago."

Mo Shizi raised his feet and left the courtyard, and at the same time ordered people to invite Prince Xiao to the main courtyard to entertain him.

Prince Xiao waited for a while and just sat down to drink a cup of tea.

"Why is Prince Xiao free to come here today?"

Mo Shizi came over with a smile. Seeing that he was still wearing daytime clothes, he guessed that he must have never even returned to the mansion.

"Young Master Mo has already thanked the princess, so why do you come to visit her again and again? The princess is a married woman, and you come to visit her in such a grand manner, where do you put the king's face?"

Prince Xiao said coldly, staring at Prince Mo with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Mo Shizi disagreed and said calmly: "Who in the whole capital doesn't know that Miss Chu was kicked out of Prince Xiao's Mansion. Although you two have the name of husband and wife, they are not husband and wife. Sooner or later, they will be reconciled."

Upon hearing this, King Xiao stood up and became furious: "Mo Han! No matter whether Chu Yunning reconciles with me or not, she is still my woman. You and I were once brothers and sisters..."

"Prince Xiao, be careful!" Mo Shizi raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth: "You imprisoned Chu Yunning for five years and killed her child. Now that she is leaving, you still insist on occupying her. Prince Xiao, you are really

So selfish!"

"You!" Prince Xiao was speechless.

"Have you ever hugged that child once? Have you coaxed him? I heard that if the Queen Mother had not protected her several times, this child would not have been able to survive today. I still don't comment."

Mo Shizi's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Prince Xiao's head, chilling his entire body.

"In the past five years, you have doted on Ye Yan'er every day and bullied her repeatedly. Now you are unwilling to reconcile. Is it possible that you have fallen in love with her?"

Mo Shizi's tone was full of sarcasm.

Prince Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "This is my family matter. I will make up for it in the future. You should keep your distance!"

When Chu Yunning returns home, he will double her compensation and treat her well, and he will also treat Beibei as if he were his own son.

"I only want to ask the prince one question, and the prince must answer it truthfully."

Prince Xiao was silent for a while, avoiding Prince Mo's sight.

"If one day Ye Yan'er or another woman gives birth to the prince's heir, who will inherit the prince's palace in the future?"

Prince Xiao had also thought about this problem, but he couldn't do it.

So Prince Xiao fell silent. He didn't believe that there would be anyone in this world who would treat other people's children better than his own.

Mo Shizi sneered: "Since you can't do it, why do you push people into a place of eternal destruction? How will this child live in the future, and what status will Chu Yunning have?"

"I, the king, can leave the mother and keep the son, keeping her status unchanged."

King Xiao can give Beibei half of the family property, and then ask the emperor to give Beibei another title.

Mo Shizi said: "I can give Beibei everything I have, even if I don't have any children of my own in this life!"

Prince Xiao was shocked and speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to refute, so he could only snort coldly: "I think you are obsessed with your mind. Based on your status, what kind of girl do you want? Why not be Chu Yun?"

Would you rather not?"

"Prince Xiao has a noble status and is accompanied by Concubine Ye in the backyard. Why does he have to choose Chu Yunning?"

"You!" Prince Xiao took a deep breath, cursed for being stubborn and walked away.

The two broke up unhappy.

"People are gone?"

Princess Changyang came over from the backyard, and she heard everything the two people said just now.

She looked worried: "Are you really going to fight with Prince Xiao? It's just Chu Yunning. Is it worth it?"

Mo Shizi raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. Prince Xiao is used to being favored, but he's just not used to Chu Yunning leaving him, so he feels sorry for himself."

"But he is the Queen Mother's biological son after all, so you may not be able to win."

Mo Shizi smiled confidently: "Don't worry, mother, I have my own sense of proportion."

Early the next morning, the news that King Xiao was going to compete with Chu Yunning for the child spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"Miss, will the prince really compete with you? What should we do?"

Bixiu asked nervously.

Chu Yunning frowned, this problem had been bothering her for a long time.

If it weren't for this, she would have left Prince Xiao's Mansion long ago.

In this era, no woman can take away her children if she is divorced or abandoned.

As long as Prince Xiao wanted to, she couldn't protect Beibei, and even the Queen Mother wouldn't help her.

"Mother, I don't want to leave mother." When Beibei heard the news, he was so frightened that he rushed into Chu Yunning's arms and cried.

Chu Yunning patted Beibei: "Don't worry, Mom will never let you leave Mom, and no one can take you away from Mom."

After calming Beibei's mood, Chu Yunning was so worried that he sat on pins and needles and couldn't wait for a moment.

It happened that someone from the palace came to summon him at this time, and Chu Yunning was brought into the palace.

The Queen Mother saw that she was as kind as ever: "The Ai family investigated all night and finally found the instigator of the poisoning at yesterday's banquet, Concubine Xia."

A beautiful concubine?

Chu Yunning frowned, subconsciously rejecting the candidate of Concubine Xia.

"She has hated you since Wannian Lingzhi. You repeatedly contradicted her at the banquet yesterday, which made her lose face and make her feel even more unhappy. Concubine Xia is proud of her favor. To give you justice, the Ai family has deprived her of her.

The imperial concubine's title was demoted to the lowest level, and someone was sent to slap her twenty times a day as a warning to others."

This punishment is not too severe.

From a noble concubine to a concubine, she was slapped every day and her appearance was gone. The Queen Mother's move was to make Xia agree to fall out of favor.

Killing someone is heartbreaking, and Xia, who has lost his favor, agrees that life would be worse than death.

In addition, Xia offended too many people when she agreed to be the imperial concubine. As long as she fell out of favor, the Queen Mother did not need to take action.

The life promised by Xia will not last long.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking the decision for Ning'er." Chu Yunning leaned over and saluted the Queen Mother.

"You kid, why are you trying to be polite to the Ai family? Come, sit here with the Ai family."

The Queen Mother waved to Chu Yunning, who smiled and stepped forward to sit on the small stool next to her.

She knew that the poisoning matter, whether it was Xia's consent or not, was over and could no longer be investigated.

"How is Beibei? You were frightened yesterday, it took a lot of effort for the Ai family to see him.

, the Ai family is really unhappy that something like this happened."

The Queen Mother had an angry look on her face, as if she wanted to cut Xia into pieces.

Chu Yunning's eyes turned red: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for making the decision, otherwise Ning'er would be really worried that someone would bully our mother and son. The child was timid when he was in the palace, but now he is finally more cheerful, and Ning'er was scared again.

I really feel bad about it."

The Queen Mother swallowed the words that were on her lips and said, "It's because Xiao'er is too ignorant to cherish you, so you're not going to give Xiao'er a chance?"

Chu Yunning immediately knelt at the Queen Mother's knees after hearing this: "Queen Mother, five years ago Ning'er witnessed Chu'er being carried away while crying. In just an hour, Chu'er was handed over to Ning'er covered in blood, and her face was covered with blood.

Blue and purple, lips turned white, he died in Ning'er's arms..."

Chu Yunning carefully described the situation that day.

"It was the prince who took Chu'er away with his own hands. No matter how much Ning'er begged, it was of no avail. Ning'er only has Beibei by her side now. I beg the Queen Mother to feel sorry for Ning'er and don't let Beibei leave Ning'er."

Chu Yunning kowtowed to the Queen Mother. As a woman, the Queen Mother couldn't help but blush when she thought of the tragedy that day.

"Ning'er, it's Xiao'er who is sorry for you."

Chu Yunning shook his head: "Ning'er left the palace to protect Beibei. Beibei was framed several times, and Ning'er was really scared."

"Is it Ye Yan'er again?" The Queen Mother wanted to strangle Ye Yan'er to death. Not only did she occupy Prince Xiao, she also killed her eldest grandson.

This despicable life is simply not comparable to Chu'er's.

"Beibei is Ning'er's life, Ning'er doesn't dare to gamble anymore."

Chu Yunning cried so hard that her heart was broken, which touched the Queen Mother's loving motherly heart, but the Queen Mother could not give Ye Yan'er death.

That is King Xiao’s life!
