When Concubine Liu spoke, tears began to flow down again.

She was humble from a humble background and was grateful to be attracted by Emperor Longzong to live such a wealthy life now.

After giving birth to the eighth prince, she secretly swore that no matter what kind of battles there were between other princes, it would mean nothing to her. The only thing she wanted to do was to take her son to live their lives peacefully.

When he lived in the harem before, Guiren Liu, except for paying respects to the queen according to regulations every day, kept the eighth prince in his palace for the rest of his time.

Emperor Menglongzong gave a favor and kept it in front of the eighth prince after he was born, probably because he felt that Concubine Liu was born too humble and that the children he gave birth to would not have the opportunity to compete for the throne.

Therefore, the Queen and Concubine Sun had no objection to her raising the child herself, and they were even happy.

Can a humble little nobleman raise a capable son?

As for Emperor Longzong, he might just want to have an old man around to relieve his boredom and enjoy the happiness of his son surrounding his knees.

He had never had high hopes for the Eighth Prince, but he just wanted him to grow up happily and become a free prince in the future.

It was precisely this idea that he made the decision to let Concubine Liu raise the child himself.

When Concubine Liu recalled this, her tears were even more surging. She looked at Shen Qingxi with some sadness.

"Does the princess think that what I said is not the truth? I know that I have a bad background. I have no other thoughts except to want the eighth prince to survive safely!"

Shen Qingxi looked at Concubine Liu's expression and felt a little trust in what she said. In his previous life, after Chu Qi ascended the throne, Concubine Liu wrote a letter instead of the Eighth Prince and asked to live in the fiefdom.

Because the Eighth Prince was the old son of Emperor Longzong, he was given Lingzhou as his fief when he was born. Although it was not a very wealthy place, it was in the Central Plains and was fine to have no worries about food and clothing.

Chu Qi hesitated for a few days at that time, but finally agreed. As for what the final outcome of the Eighth Prince would be like, Shen Qingxi didn't know.

Then in this life... can Concubine Liu and the Eighth Prince still maintain their original intentions and just want to live a stable life?

But no matter what, Liu Guiren doesn't look like a lie now, Shen Qingxi sighed slightly.

"Of course I won't doubt what you said, but... what does this matter have to do with the Eighth Prince?"

Concubine Liu wiped away the tears from her face and said with concern, "Three days ago, the eighth prince said he wanted to go to Xiangguo Temple in the eastern suburbs to burn incense and pray for the emperor. I think the emperor's health has indeed been a little bad recently. Besides, this is the Eighth prince's care about his father, so he did not refuse."

After hearing this, Shen Qingxi nodded. No matter what, the Eighth Prince was still very filial to Emperor Longzong.

She didn't speak, but the nobleman Liu paused for a moment and continued, "The guard and I took the eighth prince to Xiangguo Temple together. I watched the eighth prince enter the hall to burn incense, but... I waited for two quarters of a minute and didn't see him coming out. I felt something was wrong, so I took the guards into the hall and found that there was no one in the hall."

The blessing hall of Xiangguo Temple does require the blessing people to go in alone to burn incense, and Shen Qingxi also understands this.
