After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

The person that Emperor Jiade trusts the most is the Grand Princess. Moreover, her teacher, the Grand Princess, had already given up her power, and Emperor Jiade no longer interfered in the affairs of the court after he took power. The Grand Princess had no children of her own, and there was no conflict of interest. It was impossible for Emperor Jiade to take action against his most trusted elder sister.

Since it is impossible for Emperor Jiade to attack the master, the only reason should be that the next emperor wants to get rid of the eldest princess who is not favorable to him in order to gain the throne.

The master has long stopped asking about the affairs of the court. Emperor Jiade has many children, and now he already has more than a dozen sons. Recently, two concubines in the harem have reported that they are pregnant. It seems that even 20 sons may not be enough to control the situation.

But which prince will be the next emperor?

Li Shiliu really couldn't tell now that Emperor Jiade was in his prime and in good health without any major ailments. He already had three legitimate sons, but had not yet appointed a crown prince.

Others may not understand what Emperor Jiade is thinking, but the Grand Princess knows it. The main reason why a crown prince has not been appointed yet is that Emperor Jiade is not satisfied with all the adult princes, so he wants to wait and see.

At this stage, Emperor Jiade does not have a satisfactory heir, so it is hard to say who the next emperor will be. However, since he was able to kill the eldest princess for the throne, it seems that the throne of the next emperor may not have come from a legitimate source.

Unfortunately, the dream was only fragmentary. Li Shiliu did not have time to see the emperor's face clearly in the dream. She only saw that the dog emperor's bright yellow dragon robe between his legs was soaked with urine, and he was so scared that he could not even stand up.

"The weather is dry and the night is dry, be careful with fire."

The night watchman walked along the streets and alleys of Yuanjing City, shouting in a long voice and knocking his stick three times.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and most people were immersed in sweet dreams. However, in Maoer Hutong, in an inconspicuous three-story house, there were still some people who were not asleep by the flickering candlelight.

"Mother Chun, how is the baby in your belly these days?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xue. We asked a doctor to examine our son today. He is doing well and can already move. Do you want to feel him?"

Chunniang was a beautiful woman of about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a round belly and a slightly plump figure. It seemed that she was five or six months pregnant.

Mr. Xue, who was beside Chunniang, was over fifty years old, quite wealthy, and was wearing fine silks with an exquisite golden abacus hanging around his waist. He was Xue Gaoyi, the head of the imperial merchant Xue family.

As for the pregnant Chunniang, she was originally just a prostitute in a brothel. Fortunately, she became pregnant with Xue Gaoyi's child, so Xue Gaoyi redeemed her and settled her in this small house, intending to take her back to the Xue family after she gave birth to the child.

When Xue Gaoyi thought that Chunniang was carrying his only son, his heart was filled with excitement and he even had the energy to work.

Some couldn't wait to reach out and carefully touch Chunniang's round belly.

"Okay, okay, okay...

Chunniang, if you give me a son with a penis, I, Xue Gaoyi, will carry you and your son back to the Xue family in a sedan chair with eight bearers. I will remove your status as a lowly concubine and make you a noble concubine. I will also record you in the family tree, and even if you die, you will be buried in the ancestral tomb of my Xue family."

"real?

Master, do you keep your word? "

Chunniang reached out and covered Xue Gaoyi's hand that was caressing her belly affectionately, and asked with seductive eyes in a coquettish tone.
