The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The words "Father, we dare not gamble with the emperor's heart" made Emperor Mingde's heart tremble, and he felt mixed emotions.

This represents how heavy a burden the two children are carrying in a place he cannot see, and how many detours they have to take and how much effort they have to put in to reach their goal.

They are the ones who are carrying the burden.

Emperor Mingde was thinking that the two children had tried their best to protect his life, but he abdicated so easily. How disappointing!

So he chose to keep it secret. Only when everything was arranged properly did he dare to tell the truth to Cen Yuan today.

It was at this moment that Emperor Mingde suddenly came to his senses, "So you took Lord Chu away in order to force me to make up my mind to abdicate?"

Cen Yuan said it differently, "You can also think that we took mother-in-law away from the capital so that you can see your heart clearly, and also to let a better Tang Chujun stand in front of you."

For someone like Emperor Mingde, beauty is important, but talent is also indispensable.

If Tang Chujun only had a good-looking appearance, he could only win the emperor's favor temporarily. After a long time, even the most beautiful appearance would become ordinary.

Only friendship can last a long time. That requires vision, mind and talent to keep up.

Just like a good book, it is not enough to have a good cover. The content must be fascinating and make people want to read it again and again, without the desire to read another book.

Cen Yuan knew that An Xia had brought Tang Chujun into the game, which had aroused the emperor's concern. But he never thought of his mother-in-law as a pawn.

They were already in love with each other, but they were just using some means to speed up the progress of their relationship.

That night, Shi Anxia tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, but she was afraid of disturbing Cen Yuan's sleep, so she got up in the middle of the night and slept on the soft couch next to her.

As soon as he lay down, he was scooped up full of food.

"Why are you running?" The man's voice was a little hoarse, "It's so cold outside."

Shi Anxia's voice was soft and nasal, "I can't sleep, and I'm afraid of disturbing you."

There was only one candle burning in the dim inner room.

He carried her back to the bed, drew the gauze curtains, and the light was dim.

The little girl in white pajamas had a dazed look at the corners of her eyes. "Well, it's so cold." She said and went into the man's arms.

It was indeed very cold. The originally warm bed became even colder because of all this tossing and turning.

Now that earthquake supplies are in short supply, the only room in the princess's mansion that has floor heating is the warm room, where Ye Baoer is recuperating from his injuries. The other rooms are all freezing cold.

Cen Yuan held her in his arms and warmed Shi Anxia with his body warmth.

She kissed him first, with ease.

Since the mourning period was over, they have been sleeping in the same room and on the same bed, never separated.

When they were free, the two of them could be intimate until midnight. But Cen Yuan always pulled away at the critical moment, saying that he had to wait until she grew up a little more.

Even Tang Chujun asked her privately, "Have you consummated your marriage? If you have a child, I will be relieved."

Yes, Tang Chujun has never been at ease. His son-in-law is too good, and calling him a live-in son-in-law is just a joke.

The more we get along, the more I realize that although my daughter is smart, many things are left to my son-in-law.

Even the daughter hadn't thought of it yet, but the son-in-law had already made arrangements.

It can be said that Anxia without Cen Yuan is like a tiger without teeth and claws.

Shi Anxia also felt the same way. The fact that the North Wing was able to develop so quickly was closely related to Cen Yuan.

She originally planned to spend three years getting close to Emperor Mingde, and then slowly disintegrate the Queen Mother's camp.

It is nowhere near the current overwhelming momentum. Even the new emperor after many years is about to ascend the throne.

The Western Shadow Guards were planted by Cen Yuan a long time ago, the secret guards around the Queen Mother were also Cen Yuan's people, and there were chess pieces placed by Cen Yuan in various positions in the North Wing Palace.

The North Wing's new look was all thanks to Cen Yuan, because even without her, Cen Yuan would have accomplished all of this.

He clearly had a relationship with the then Prince Ling, and if handled properly, Prince Jin would be trampled underfoot.

Shi Anxia had been feeling anxious for a long time. Today, when she saw Cen Yuan and Emperor Mingde standing together, with their kingly temperaments that were not inferior in the slightest, she suddenly realized that the day of leaving Liang State might not be far away.

The unknown is scary, and a strange country is even scarier. Shi Anxia felt that she couldn't wait any longer.

She raised her head, looked at his beautiful jawline, and gently stroked the pajamas on his chest with her fingers, and whispered, "Since I can't sleep anyway, husband, let's have a baby?"

Cen Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and he grabbed her evil hand, his voice became even hoarser, and he said, "It's too early, wait until you grow up."

"It's getting late." Shi Anxia stubbornly pulled her hand out of his and continued to draw circles on his chest, "We've been married for so long, and the mourning period is over..."

She tilted her head back and looked him in the eye.

In his dark eyes, her budding appearance was faintly reflected.

But that look was so cold and sober.

Cen Yuan grabbed her hand again, but his eyes were a little distracted. He quickly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

His body was on fire.

But he had to endure it.

Eighteen is the bottom line, otherwise there will be guilt. But this is not the main reason.

The most important thing was that he knew that the little girl had gotten mad and was competing with that damn heartless Gu.

In addition, he also knew that she wanted to try to see if she could have a child in this life.

Cen Yuan knew Shi Anxia's thoughts better than anyone else. The more so, the more he couldn't let himself go.

It was during the cold night that he heard An Xia ask, "If I can't cure that damn heartless Gu in this lifetime, what will happen to my husband?"

This question is not the first time I have been asked.

Every time before, he answered her, "If you can't solve it, then you can't solve it. It's not like you can't pass it."

But Shi Anxia knew better than anyone that Cen Yuan was actually a very passionate man. He could control himself now, but he might get tired of her after a while.

Without waiting for Cen Yuan to answer, Shi Anxia said in a trembling voice, "Husband, if it really doesn't work, can I get you a concubine?"

Cen Yuan lowered his eyebrows, looked at her for a long time, and asked, "Who do you want to take as my concubine?"

Shi Anxia felt a little pain in her heart, but it was not much. She only replied, "If you like someone, you can tell me. I... can tolerate it."

Cen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then lay down and responded with his back to her, "Okay, I'll tell you when I find someone I like."

This was the first time in a long time that he had his back to her.

But when he turned his back to her, his heart ached and numbed. He suddenly felt wronged, even more wronged than when he was poisoned in his previous life.

Shi Anxia stared blankly at the broad back in front of her, and then she realized that when a person has his back to you, not only can you not see his eyes, but you can also not get into his heart.

She was cold behind him and sighed softly. This sigh cut through the silence of the night and there was no follow-up.

After an unknown amount of time, Cen Yuan asked, "Xia Xia, are you asleep?"
