On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"How can I prepare for a rainy day?"

Xiao Huai was made anxious by her.

"Xiao Ding won't take away my imperial power as soon as he comes back, right?"

If you think about it carefully, it's really possible.

Xiao Ding has tyrannically replaced the imperial power of the Four Kingdoms.

It has subverted many people's understanding of him. Not only is this man good at killing people, he also despises the authority of orthodox imperial succession and is not afraid of God's will.

He encouraged many people to seize the throne and advocated following the example of Yao and Shun, so that the capable person would become the emperor.

It is simply unbelievable to have multiple people taking turns in power.

But it was praised by many ministers.

The key point is that this strategy has not affected the livelihood of the people of various countries. The people still support it, saying that it is good that multiple emperors in a country can supervise and balance each other.

There are even rumors among the people that the people should be allowed to choose the emperor. Whoever makes the greatest contribution to the country and creates a peaceful and contented life for the people is the most qualified to be the emperor.

Now that Xiao Ding's prestige was high, Xiao Huai did not dare to have a head-on conflict with him.

Empress Liu suppressed the disgust in her heart and took the initiative to offer suggestions.

"Xiao Ding has great achievements, but he has no king in his eyes. It is a huge crime to overstep his power and appoint the king of a subject country without authorization. Your Majesty can directly issue a decree to punish him, revoke his title of regent, or even issue an order to kill him."

"Absolutely not." Xiao Huai immediately rejected this plan.

Seeing the sinister flash in Queen Liu's eyes, she was suddenly shocked.

She is pregnant, but has murderous intentions.

It is in great contrast to the weak image of the past.

and……

"If I act so recklessly, I will definitely force Xiao Ding to rebel. Even the commander of the imperial army belongs to him. If he forces the palace, I will definitely lose."

Xiao Huai still had some self-awareness. He did not hold military power and could inherit the throne because he was the prince before.

"If this is the case, to prevent Xiao Ding from rebelling, Your Majesty can grant him a reward from Northern Xinjiang and let him be the vassal king in Northern Xinjiang. Don't let him return to Kyoto." Empress Liu could only change one plan.

As long as Xiao Ding stays away from the capital and the prince in her belly is born and becomes a crown prince, most of the Yan Kingdom will be hers.

Although she didn't know whether the fetus in her belly was a boy or a girl, she would definitely give birth to a prince. She had already secretly raised eight pregnant women at the same time, and she could give birth to a new baby at any time on the day of delivery.

The children conceived by these eight people all have the blood of the Soochow royal family.

Xiao Huai was embarrassed and said:

"It's almost autumn and winter, and the cold and bitter land in northern Xinjiang is not suitable for living for a long time. Xiao Ding will also return to Kyoto for peace of mind."

"Then why not give him poisoned wine when he comes back?" Queen Liu suggested viciously again.

"That way Ning Luo will kill us." Xiao Huai knew Ning Luo's character and was anxious to kill him without mercy, fearing that the consequences would be difficult to deal with.

"Your Majesty does not need to do it yourself, but you can ask other princes and princesses to toast Xiao Ding during the banquet. By then they will all be dead. There is no evidence of their death. They died in an accident. Ning Luo cannot blame your Majesty."

Empress Liu said confidently: "Our Imperial Preceptor is not for show. We can wait for the opportunity to capture her."

"This method is okay, let's leave it to the queen to arrange it."

Xiao Huai also wanted to leave a way for himself to survive.

If the matter is exposed, it will be blamed on the queen and has nothing to do with him.

Since Mrs. Liu was granted the posthumous position, she no longer has the tenderness and consideration of the past, but she has a lot of control over him.

Even the other concubines in the harem did not allow him to be lucky.

He was a little tired of spending time with her alone every day, even if he was thinking about his past friendship.

What's more, the pressure just now made him a little rebellious.

By overestimating his own abilities and forcing him to go against Xiao Ding, do you want him to die early?

After Empress Liu left, Xiao Huai said to himself: "Fourth brother, it's not that I want to kill you, but there is only one throne. It would be great if you continue to be sick..."

Their conversation was naturally overheard by Conch, and the news was transmitted thousands of miles to northern Xinjiang.

"Your Highness, why don't we return to Kyoto in a while?" Ning Luo said lazily, nestling in Xiao Ding's arms.

"Why, winter in Northern Xinjiang is full of snow, I'm afraid you can't adapt to it." Xiao Ding even decided to return to Kyoto early.

"When we get to Kyoto, we just need to destroy Xiao Huai."

"Your Majesty, I just want to accumulate blessings for our children and reduce killings." Ning Luo touched his belly with his hand and said softly: "If you, who is about to be a father, become the emperor, you will only be busier and have no time to accompany him. Son, at least for the next two years, I don’t want you to be too busy.”

"Pregnant?" Xiao Ding was suddenly ecstatic.

"Well, it's been more than a month." Ning Luo smiled softly and said, "I also just discovered my happy pulse today."

"That's great." Xiao Ding kissed Ning Luo hard, then gently pressed her belly against hers, gently coaxing the child: "Grow up well and peacefully. Your father will work hard for you and protect you from wind and rain."
