After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day
Chapter 216 Confession
He Qingchen shook his head: "I don't know who my father is paying attention to, but I know it's definitely not He Chengjue."
"Why?"
"Because of the Li family."
"Because of Li?"
The two voices sounded almost at the same time.
He Qingchen curled the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but kissed her lightly on the top of her head, with a hint of pride in his tone: "A'di and this king are of the same mind and think alike."
It was indeed because of the Li family.
The Li family was born into a famous family in Beijing. Their ancestors were peasants, but they were extremely brave and followed Emperor Taizu in his conquests, which led to the establishment of the current empire.
After the establishment of Northern Zhao.
Emperor Taizu, mindful of Li's contributions, appointed him as the general.
Then it was sealed all the way down.
Finally, when there was nothing left to be conferred upon him, he made use of his descendants and side branches, and supported the Li clan members.
Therefore, as this family was passed down from generation to generation, by the time of the previous emperor, the Li family had already become a threat to the imperial power and had become a major concern for the previous emperor.
Maybe it’s because the Li family has killed too many people in recent years.
Since the previous generations of Dukes, the Li family has had difficulty in having offspring. Even though they have a lot of wives and concubines in the mansion, they have never been able to give birth to many children. Even if they did, the children would be sickly and would not live long.
If the son is not prosperous, the daughter who is married off will not be much better.
Therefore, during the years that Li had been married into Prince Rong's Mansion, she had not been able to give birth to any children. After finally giving birth to a daughter, she was also a sickly woman. He Chengjue was very anxious and angry about this.
His father gave a woman who was very powerful but had few offspring to He Chengjue. The deep meaning behind this was self-evident.
Shen Guidi naturally thought of this as well.
If Emperor Zhaoyuan really wanted He Chengjue to be the crown prince, why would he choose a woman who might make it possible for him to never have a legitimate son, or whose legitimate son would not live long, as his crown princess and future queen mother?
No wonder the Queen is so keen on selecting women with good fertility and sending them to the Palace of Prince Rong and the Palace of Prince Yan.
Shen Guiyi glared at him: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
He Qingchen put away the smile on his face, his expression solemn: "Over the years, outsiders have been quite suspicious about He Chengjue's delay in being appointed as the crown prince, and because of this, my good brothers have become more and more active in their thoughts.
Although the emperor was delaying the process on the grounds that he was still young and in his prime and there was no rush to appoint a crown prince, outsiders would not think so.
They will only think that their father has other plans.
In the past few years since I returned to Beijing, I have been working for He Chengjue. Most people in the court and the harem regard me as a dog by He Chengjue's side, and they would never have thought that I would have such thoughts.
In that case, let He Chengjue attract most of the firepower for me.
The position of the Eastern Palace is the most dangerous place.
I hope he can keep that position. Otherwise, I will have to pull him down."
"But he is your biological brother."
"Would my dear brother want me to die?" He Qingchen responded to her question expressionlessly.
Shen Guidi was silent for a moment: "Then, where is the Queen Mother?"
"Ayi, do you still remember that I said I had a dream?"
"Ok?"
"Then do you still remember how I told you about that dream?"
Shen Guidi: “…”
Could he be saying that He Chengjue and the Queen had done something to him in his dream, so that he couldn't care about that at the moment?
really.
The next moment, He Qingchen said frankly: "Well, it's called a dream, but it's not a dream. I really felt everything in the dream and experienced my shallow and short life."
Shen Guidi became more and more confused.
A short life?
"According to the contents of the dream, I will die in three years, at the hands of He Chengjue, who has already usurped the throne."
Shen Guidi: “…”
Can't you?
After all, they are brothers and share the same mother. No matter how cruel they are, they will at least spare his life, right?
Besides, isn’t there still the Queen?
“Mother… I don’t know what role you played in this, but I was captured by He Chengjue and the Gu family and locked up in the basement. During that time, Ye Feng, Zhou Hui, Shen Xiao… They all died for me. As for you…”
When He Qingchen mentioned the last part, his eyes turned bloodshot.
As if he was afraid, he held Shen Guidi's arm even tighter.
Shen Guidi just frowned and looked at him in surprise.
He Qingchen calmed himself down, thought for a moment, chose to confess, and said something that would make Shen Guidi believe him: "I don't know what you and your uncle did to arouse He Chengjue's fear and interest.
After my death, perhaps because of some obsession in my heart, my soul was reluctant to dissipate and I actually saw some scenes after death.
At that time, He Chengjue was wanted for you while throwing the remains of me, Ye Feng and others into a mass grave in order to capture you and your uncle.
The fact was just as he expected, you appeared in the mass grave with Youbai.
At that time, there were a pack of wolves surrounding them. Youbai used some kind of powder and blew a whistle to lure the wolves away.
You and she buried our bodies and killed the wolves. He Chengjue also arrived... In the end, he died in your hands, but you and Youbai also..."
Shen Guidi's eyes suddenly widened and looked at him in surprise.
Last time, He Qingchen made up a dream.
At that time, she just thought he was making up a story, which was nonsense.
Now revisiting...
Shen Guidi couldn't help but become alert.
She pushed He Qingchen away, hurriedly sat on the other side, and stared at him vigilantly.
It’s nothing for He Qingchen to mention this dream again.
What frightened her was that He Qingchen's dream was very likely true.
That year, the Shen family was wiped out.
The only ones who survived by chance were her, who was taken back to the Lin family, and her uncle, who was not at the Shen family at the time.
They have been planning hard over the years.
The relationship between her uncle and her is secret, and most of the time they address each other as master and apprentice.
The number of people who know their true relationship can be counted on one hand.
But He Qingchen knew.
How did he know?
Also, how did he know that Youbai knew the art of taming wolves?
Really, did he see it in some damn dream?
But it’s all too true.
He Qingchen knew that Shen Guidi might find it hard to believe for a while, but he said this today because he had made up his mind. He didn't want Shen Guidi to ignore his feelings and have no trust in him anymore.
He got up from the bed and walked step by step to Shen Guidi.
He leaned forward and lowered his eyes: "A'di, I have actually hinted to you about this matter.
Think about it carefully, have I ever asked you before whether you want to bring the people who used to serve you to the palace?
At that time, I actually just wanted to ask, Youbai, why wasn’t I by your side?
She was clearly by your side in the end.
Moreover, she called you Miss and was your maid, but now..."
