He wanted to conquer her!
However, things developed in a way that was completely unexpected.
The Crown Prince suddenly died in the Crown Prince's Palace!
Although the Crown Prince's right arm was crippled, the Emperor did not want to depose him. As a result, although many people were happy, the Crown Prince's death was definitely a conspiracy!
The Emperor was furious and ordered Prince Yong, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Virtuous King to find out the truth within ten days!
Was it possible to find out the cause of the Crown Prince's death within ten days?
"Master, there's someone outside who wants to see you alone. They say that the higher-ups want to see you," Qiu Shuang said.
The so-called higher-ups were actually referring to the Emperor.
At this time, she was already more than four months pregnant. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had been staying at home sick.
Of course, the news of Cheng Sanjin's pregnancy had not spread in the provincial capital, so many people had noticed her and guessed that she was nurturing the baby.
Cheng Siu-ch'iu came in and noticed that she was a little different. His eyes immediately focused on her abdomen and did not realize how impolite this was.
"Second Young Master Zheng, long time no see. What's the matter?" Cui asked.
Mother sat down on a chair. Pregnancy was different after all. Even her sitting posture was not as casual as before.
It could be seen that she was carefully protecting the child in her belly!
He had previously thought that she was very likely pregnant, but he did not expect her to show a motherly expression and carefully protect the child.
However, this rare kindness made him very happy. God knows why she always treated him with dislike.
"This is Sanjin's child?" Cheng Siu-ch'iu did not feel offended at all.
"What do you think?" Cui asked.
Mother asked.
As Cheng Sanjin's substitute, how could he not know the extent of her relationship with Cheng Sanjin?
Cheng Siu-ch'iu smiled slightly. There was a hint of ridicule, but it was not very strange.
"The Emperor asked me to invite you to the palace." Cheng Siu-ch'iu looked at her. "However, I think it's not convenient for you."
"Why does he want to see me?" Cui asked.
Mother did not pay attention to the second half of his sentence.
"Cheng Sanjin has already taken His Majesty hostage. You should know this, right?" Cheng Siu-ch 'iu said.
Cui
Mother nodded. "I know."
"Do you know that the Crown Prince died an innocent death?" Cheng Siu-ch 'iu asked again.
Cui
Mother nodded again. "I know."
"Therefore, the Emperor wants to secretly summon you and ask you to help him get rid of the fleas around him." Cheng Siu-ch 'iu's words and actions could not be clearer. He had already pledged allegiance to the Emperor.
After all, why would the current Cheng Sanjin need a substitute?
"But don't you and the Emperor already have a way to confuse the enemy?" Cui asked.
Mother laughed. It was difficult to control an emperor so easily.
The reason why an emperor could become an emperor was not only because of his bloodline and luck, but also because of his perseverance.
The Emperor was also using himself to lure the enemy!
However, as the Emperor, he made the biggest mistake!
Allowing others to covet the throne!
Who wouldn't want the throne?
This was causing trouble for himself!
If it were her, she would definitely not give others the slightest chance to covet the throne. She would strangle them all to death!
Cheng Siu-ch 'iu revealed an awkward expression. Was he afraid that he would be disrespected?
Although he felt that Cheng Sanjin was in no position to do so, he looked down on him.
Cheng Sanjin did not know that he had already pledged allegiance to the Emperor.
For him, Cheng Sanjin's biggest shortcoming was his arrogance. He would never have thought that he would dare to betray him!
"The Emperor suspects that you are related to the Crown Prince's death?" Cheng Siu-ch 'iu lowered his gaze as he spoke. "You don't have to go."
