He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

The Queen Mother fell ill again.

No one knows what sickness the Queen Mother has this time.

The Queen Mother did not mention a word about Prince Cheng's treason, and the palace maids dared not say a word.

The imperial physicians treated her for a long time, and even invited Doctor Tao to the palace twice, before the Empress Dowager's condition was barely stabilized.

After the Queen Mother's condition improves a little, she will move to the temporary palace.

The imperial physician and Doctor Tao of the Imperial Medical Bureau both disagreed with the Empress Dowager leaving the capital.

The temporary palace was more than a hundred miles away from the imperial palace. The empress dowager was weak and could not stand the bumpy ride. Moreover, when the empress dowager moved to the temporary palace, the palace had to send at least two imperial physicians to accompany her. No imperial physician was willing to be separated from his wife and children and follow the empress dowager to the temporary palace.

But the Queen Mother was determined to leave and no one could persuade her otherwise, so Princess Huyang sent the Queen Mother to the temporary palace.

On the day of departure, snowflakes were falling from the sky.

The Queen Mother waited at the palace gate for a full half hour, but the Emperor did not go to see her off.

The Queen Mother left in tears.

When leaving, he left behind an imperial decree.

She will not return to the capital until she dies.

After his death, the funeral was simple.

After saying these two sentences, the Queen Mother left Kyoto.

The Queen Mother's departure from the capital was the subject of endless discussions both inside and outside the court, with everyone speculating whether it was related to Prince Cheng's treason. However, this did not stir up any waves in Shen Wan's heart. She had never had any feelings for the Queen Mother in her previous life, and even less in this life.

However, the Queen Mother hurt the Emperor too deeply in order to make him king. This was the last time they met, and the Emperor didn't even see her. The Queen Mother must have known how badly she had hurt the Emperor.

This matter was discussed for a day or two, and then it died down, or was overshadowed by another incident.

On the third day after the Queen Mother left the capital, an urgent message came from the border guards over eight hundred miles away, saying that the Crown Prince of Xiliang had been found.

When the news came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

The Prince of Xiliang was assassinated in Da Chu and fell off a cliff. After searching for several months, the body of the Prince of Xiliang was found. Xiliang demanded an explanation from Da Chu. The army was at the gates of the city. Da Chu and Xiliang were fighting fiercely right now, and then there came out news that the Prince of Xiliang had been found again?

Even though Shen Wan believed Xie Jingyan's guess that the Prince of Xiliang was not dead, she was still stunned for a long time after hearing the news. She asked the maid who reported it, "Where was the Prince of Xiliang found?"

The maid said, "It is said that he was found in a small mountain village dozens of miles away from where he fell off the cliff. He lost his memory after being injured, and only recovered a few days ago, and then he remembered that he was the prince of Xiliang."

Shen Wan, "..."

This is a really good reason.

After all, he was the crown prince of a country. In order to find out those who were secretly colluding with King Cheng and wanted to kill him, he never showed up, which led to the war between Xiliang and Da Chu for him, resulting in countless deaths and injuries of civilians. This really damaged the image of a crown prince. So he made up a reason that he was injured and lost his memory. Not only did no one blame him, but they might even feel sorry for him, a precious crown prince, who suffered so much in Da Chu.

Xie Jingyan said that the Prince of Xiliang would not always hide his identity, and he turned out to be right. Just half a month ago, Xie Jingyan tore off the mask of King Cheng on the battlefield and exposed the collusion between King Cheng and General Zhenyuan of Xiliang, and the Prince of Xiliang's "amnesia" was restored.

The reason why Xiliang attacked Da Chu was to seek persuasion for the Xiliang prince who was "killed" in Da Chu after being assassinated. Now that the Xiliang prince is still alive, the reason for Xiliang to attack Da Chu no longer exists, and it is time to withdraw.

Yin Shuang said happily, "The Crown Prince of Xiliang is still alive, so does that mean we don't have to fight anymore? Will the prince and his men be back soon?"

Shen Wan also wanted Xie Jingyan to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but her intuition told her that things would not be that simple.

Although she did not understand military tactics, she knew that a general is not always bound by the orders of his emperor when away from the court. Now the person in charge of the war in Xiliang is General Zhenyuan. The Crown Prince of Xiliang is hiding in the dark and only showed up after Xie Jingyan exposed the collusion between General Zhenyuan and King Cheng. General Zhenyuan's ambition is already known to the emperor and his ministers of Xiliang. Can he listen to the emperor of Xiliang and withdraw his troops back to the capital?

At this point, General Zhenyuan has no other choice.

The Prince of Xiliang did not give General Zhenyuan a chance to kill him halfway. For fear of his whereabouts being known, he disguised himself and sneaked back to Xiliang and went straight back to the palace.

After the Crown Prince of Xiliang returned to the palace, he advised the Emperor of Xiliang to withdraw his troops. The Emperor of Xiliang also knew that there was no reason to attack Da Chu anymore. Moreover, after fighting for so long, not only did they fail to capture half of Da Chu's cities, they also lost two of their own. If they continued to fight, it would be disadvantageous for Xiliang.

The Emperor of Xiliang immediately ordered the withdrawal of Xiliang troops, but the imperial edict did not reach the Xiliang military camp and was intercepted on the way.

Since there was no order to withdraw troops, General Zhenyuan agreed to the previous decision and continued to attack the Chu State.

There were also generals in the Xiliang military camp who proposed a truce and waited for news from the court, but unfortunately they were killed by a single sword from General Zhenyuan. General Zhenyuan had the final say in the army and no one dared to disobey him.

The soldiers of Da Chu were waiting for Xiliang to withdraw their troops, but they ended up attacking the city. This angered the soldiers of Da Chu. Before, the prince of Xiliang came to Da Chu to celebrate his birthday and died in Da Chu. It was fine for Xiliang to attack Da Chu, after all, Da Chu was in the wrong. But now the prince of Xiliang is still alive, and they still refuse to withdraw their troops. Do they really think that Da Chu is easy to bully? !

The morale of the Great Chu was already strong, and now it is even higher.

That day, Shen Wan received a letter from Xie Jingyan, saying that the war would be over soon. Shen Wan was so happy that she tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.

Neither Xie Jingyan nor the Prince of Xiliang wanted to fight.

One of them wants to become king, and the other wants to become General Zhenyuan.

It just so happened that King Cheng and General Zhenyuan were in the same group.

One of them is the Crown Prince of Xiliang, and the other is the crown prince of Chu. If these two join forces and cannot quell the war as soon as possible, people will really doubt their abilities.

As she waited, the days passed and Shen Wan's belly grew bigger.

He is only seven months old, but he already has some mobility issues.

On this day, Shen Wan was watching the nanny helping Jin'er walk. The little one walked towards Shen Wan, humming a little. Shen Wan wanted to help Jin'er walk herself, but it was difficult for her to bend over because of her big belly. She could only watch. The nanny smiled and said, "The little prince has strong legs. He should be able to learn to walk in a few days."

The young master hugged Shen Wan's legs and wanted Shen Wan to hug him. Every time this happened, Shen Wan couldn't help but curse a certain bastard. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't even be able to hug Jin'er.

Fortunately, she is due to give birth in less than two months. After this baby, she doesn't plan to have another one within three to five years.

Shen Wan wanted to bend down, and Yin Shuang hurriedly said, "Princess, be careful with your stomach..."

The wet nurse quickly picked up Jin'er, and the little girl stretched out her arm towards Shen Wan. Seeing her little look, not only Shen Wan, but also the little maids in the yard could not help but blame a certain master, looking at how pitiful the little master was.

But no matter how much they felt sorry for her, no one dared to let Shen Wan hold her. The princess's belly was so big that she had to be supported when walking. If the young master kicked her accidentally, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, the child is young and his attention is easily diverted. When Shen Wan teases him with a rattle, the little guy doesn't want Shen Wan to hold him and wants the rattle instead.

While playing with the child, a little maid walked in from outside the courtyard and said happily, "Princess, the border sent a victory report to the capital, saying that the son of Duke Du shot and killed the son of General Zhenyuan of Xiliang with an arrow..."
