The night was charming. The thick white fog tightly wrapped around the two of them as they slept on the rattan chairs. It was better to pass this layer of time where they could not bear to disturb each other.

At this moment, the lights of the Tai Bei Manor of the capital were flickering, merging together with the moonlight that was sprinkling down.

Shangguan Jingyan lied on the luxurious bed carved with pear blossoms, his eyes closed and his face pale white.

The Prefecture Physician sat in front of the bed and carefully took her pulse. Suddenly, he frowned. Pushing away Shangguan Jing's hand wall, a piece of palace sand that a young girl should have was missing from her flawless arm.

With a "f * ck", he stood up, looked at Shangguan Jingyan in disbelief, and then bowed to Grand Commandant Shangguan.

"Congratulations, old master. The little miss is really happy now."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room turned to look at the doctor, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Elder Wu, what did you say?" You're saying it again? "

Mistress Shangguan's body went limp and she almost fell down. She tightened her grip on the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

"Madam. "Young miss, she's feeling happy now …"

The tense atmosphere caused him to be unable to breathe, but the doctor was trembling with fear as he explained the results of his pulse examination.

"Bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? Miss is a pure and innocent girl, do you believe that this Grand Commandant will immediately cut off your head and feed it to the dogs? "

Grand Commandant Shangguan kicked the Residence Doctor to the ground, his eyes red with killing intent as he pulled out his sword from the guard's scabbard and mercilessly chopped down at the Residence Doctor.

The decisiveness and ruthlessness were enough to cause one to tremble in fear.

How important was the title of an unmarried woman? If it were to be spread today, his Jing Yan might not be able to get the title of Queen anymore.

The people present today could not be left alive.

"Men, drag this quack out and throw him at the unmarked cemetery to feed the dogs!"

Grand Commandant Shangguan wiped his blood-soaked hands clean with a handkerchief from the maidservant's hands, then glanced at the family doctor lying in a pool of blood, and casually instructed.

Not long after, a few servants walked onto the precursors and threw them onto the dilapidated carriage, heading towards the unmarked cemetery on the west side of the city.

In the middle of the night, Shangguan Jing's western courtyard was suddenly set ablaze. By the time the patrolling servants rushed over to extinguish the fire, the western courtyard had already been swallowed up by the fire, leaving behind pitch black ruins that exuded a strong stench of blood.

All of the maidservant s serving Shangguan Jingyan in the west wing courtyard had died in this fire tonight.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the layers of treetops onto the palace walls of Ronghua palace. It was quiet and beautiful.

"Pa …"

"Dongfang Chen, are you trying to anger me to death?"

A crisp slap sounded from within, followed by a high-pitched, ear-piercing voice that contained boundless rage.

"Reporting to mother, your son has made up his mind. Please grant me your wish, mother."

In the main hall of the Glorious Imperial Palace, Dongfang Chen knelt in front of Situ Lan with an unwavering expression.

When Situ Lan, who was sitting on the short crater heard this, a trace of ruthlessness shot out from his black and taut face. He threw the teacup in his hand towards Dongfang Chen's forehead.

Dongfang Chen kneeled on the ground, as steady as Mt. Tai. With an indifferent look in his eyes, he allowed the fresh blood on his forehead to flow, blurring his vision.

All of the palace ladies knelt on the ground, lowering their heads to lower themselves to the ground. It had been a long time since they'd seen the empress getting so angry.

"Impudent!" Now that you have grown up, your wings are hard, and you don't even listen to your mother's words? "

Situ Lan suddenly stood up, her black face was twisted like a mother's yaksha from her angry roar, it was extremely terrifying.

"Pa …"

A precious ceramic object was thrown onto the ground by Situ Lan, but the anger on her face became more and more concentrated, as her cold and intimidating aura enveloped the entirety of the Imperial Palace.

"Imperial Mother, please calm your anger! This son has already made up his mind, I will never marry Shangguan Jingyan as my concubine in this life! "

Ignoring Situ Lan's dark face, Dongfang Chen's eyes flashed with a resolute light.

If it wasn't for the fact that Grand Commandant Shangguan was useful to the imperial government, he definitely wouldn't have allowed that slut to return to the capital alive, and become the laughing stock of the entire capital.

Situ Lan suddenly let out a sigh of relief as he pointed at Dongfang Chen, unable to say a word.

It was obvious that he was greatly angered.

"Please calm your anger, Empress!" "The crown prince, he …"

Gui mama ran in quickly and knelt in front of Situ Lan with a "plop" to stop him.

Senior Servant Gui was Situ Lan's concubine, and Dongfang Chen was the one that she grew up with, so she doted on him a lot.

"Senior Servant Gui, move aside."

Situ Lan looked down at Senior Servant Gui condescendingly. The killing intent in his eyes was cold to the bone.

Both of her hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. If Dongfang Chen did not cooperate, she did not mind changing her son.

Senior Servant Gui looked at Situ Lan, who was emanating killing intent all over, and knew what she was thinking. She was shocked and looked towards the palace maids in the room, gesturing for them to leave.

The palace maid took the hint and left, closing the doors of the Magnificent Jewel Palace.

"Esteemed Empress, you've wronged Crown Prince on this matter. Shangguan Jingyan actually became pregnant with a vile child behind his back. Say, who do you think is worthy of our Crown Prince? How can he be the future generation of a country? "

Senior Servant Gui raised her head, a fierce killing intent in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and spoke.

Shangguan Jingyan actually didn't know how to react, and dared to blatantly do such a vile thing, simply disgraceful.

If the Crown Prince did not find out in time, and if she had not mixed up the dragon veins, then the Jiang Shan of the Dongfang family would have …

Situ Lan heard and frowned slightly. She pulled Dongfang Chen up from the ground and gently wiped the blood off his forehead.

"Chen'er, I'm sorry. The Queen Mother should not blame you without asking clearly. "Does it still hurt?"

Facing Situ Lan who was emitting such a motherly love, Dongfang Chen actually felt unwell for a moment, and turned his head away uncomfortably.

He was still used to the cold empress with only benefits and no humanity in her eyes.

Ever since he was young, the empress had always been cold and indifferent. He had to obey every word she said and never dare to retort. Even his feelings were the same.

Until he met Bai Zhixi and Shangguan Jingyan, when his mother told her that no matter who he loved in his heart, he had to choose Shangguan Jingyan.

He then listened to his mother's words. Although he did not have any love, he was determined to marry Shangguan Jingyan.

The Queen Mother said that Grand Commandant Shangguan held a mysterious power in his hands, and as long as the Life Binding Queen Shangguan Jingyan had chosen and tightly held Shangguan Jing in his hands, the world would be unified soon.

But in his view, Bai Zhixi should be the Phoenixis Maiden, the person who helped him to unify the world.

But when he thought that Bai Zhixi would definitely love him like other girls, he didn't think that the person Bai Zhixi would like would actually be that sickly prince who hadn't left the palace in ten years.

He was unwilling, but Bai Zhixi loved him resolutely.

Suddenly, he thought about how Jun Mohan wouldn't live past eighteen years old and he might still have a chance.

But just as Jun Mohan was about to turn eighteen, Hua Wuxie's appearance had destroyed his plan. Jun Mohan and Bai Zhixi seemed to have disappeared from the world, no matter how many people he sent out, he could not find any trace of the two of them.

He thought that perhaps Jun Mohan was already dead, and Bai Zhixi was just hiding at some place and crying with sorrow. If time went on for too long, he would forget about Jun Mohan.

At that time, he would have ways to make her marry him obediently.

When he went back to look for Shangguan Jingyan, she actually wasn't willing to return the capital with him. At that time, he had thought that it would only take a few days for Shangguan Jingyan to settle the matter between him and Ye Luoli.

He did not expect that she would be so deceitful, fusing with others, harboring evil intentions.

In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Situ Lan looked at Dongfang Chen's face, which now had a trace of ferocity on it that he had never seen in the past, and his eyes were filled with indifference, as though they were bottomless chasms, causing people to tremble.

His heart suddenly trembled a few times as the corners of his mouth curled up in a perfect curve in satisfaction.

Maybe she should let go.

"Imperial Mother, this son knows that you have put in a lot of effort. This son will definitely not let you down. Right now, Grand Commandant Shangguan was unable to move. This son still needed his support. As for Shangguan Jingyan, the date of the marriage has not been set yet.

Blood recklessly flowed down from his forehead, dyeing his snow-white robe red. His ice-cold eyes that contained a killing intent slightly moved, and his entire body exuded an irresistible king-like aura.

"Chen'er, it's not a waste for you to have such a soul. After all these years of nurturing you."

A trace of venomous fierceness flashed across Situ Lan's eyes, and his face hung a light yet graceful smile.

If she hadn't been so heartless and heartless back then, the mother and child probably wouldn't have been the ones to be called the tyrant of the harem.

"Mother, I heard that royal father is not feeling well, so I wanted to go visit him."

A few days ago, Dong Aoqing suddenly fainted in the main hall early in the morning, but the imperial hospital was unable to find the cause of it, and could do nothing about it.

Just then, the wandering Great Master Pu Hai suddenly came to the palace. It was said that the empress dowager had invited him to come and visit for Dong Aoqing.

Five days ago, Dong Aoqing suddenly drew up a will to succeed the throne and handed it to Master Pu Hai, who then left the Eastern Palace and brought along the will.

On the second day, Eunuch Lin personally ordered Dong Aoqing to hand over the matters of the court to the eighth prince. All ministers must fully cooperate with the eighth prince and must not have any second thoughts.

The moment he said this, the court went into an uproar.

According to legend, the successor of the throne was not necessarily a gentle and elegant one. It was very possible that the Crown Prince with the disposition of a commoner was the eighth prince who had gained the heart of an emperor in the recent months and was loved and respected by the commoners.

In recent days, the eighth prince's mansion had become particularly lively. Many ministers had gathered around the eighth prince's mansion to greet him. It seemed as if the eighth prince's mansion's threshold had been stepped on a bit lower.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly changed, many of the ministers were stirred up, secretly guessing Dong Aoqing's holy will, and the battle for the throne was pushed to the surface.

Seeing that the imperial court was at a loss, Situ Lan left by himself and headed to the Xi Liang Nation overnight. He personally ordered Dongfang Chen to return to the capital.

"Chen'er, your royal father is already old, and I should have passed on the throne to you long ago.

Situ Lan's expression became even colder, like the winter ice. The tense atmosphere in the room was suffocating.
