Tallow candles were burning in the palace, illuminating the entire palace.

Since ancient times, privately making dragon robes has been regarded as a serious crime of treason, and the nine generations of the clan will be punished.

However, the prince's nine clans also include the emperor himself.

The most important thing is that this dragon robe was not made by the prince, but was secretly made by his concubines in order to compete for favor, and the prince was not aware of it.

The emperor originally had a gloomy expression, but after listening to the detailed report from the East Factory Supervisor, his expression gradually eased.

After all, as a father, he knows his eldest son best.

I can still vividly remember the Crown Prince's expression of disbelief and emotion when he was appointed as the Crown Prince.

Thinking of this, the emperor sighed in his heart: "Forget it..."

He is old and doesn't want to kill his brothers and then his son.

Moreover, he has another son whom he has not acknowledged. If Xiao Xuan cannot become emperor, the Sixth Brother will not tolerate such a border general with great military achievements.

The emperor walked slowly in the moonlight, and the director of the East Factory and the old eunuch followed him step by step.

He turned around and stepped onto the white marble bridge, stopped and looked into the distance. The towering outline of the palace wall looked like a ferocious beast in the night.

It devoured the love between brothers, husband and wife, father and son, and the conscience in the heart...

The emperor stood in the wind and looked north, his eyes swollen.

When the emperor walked back to the Qinzheng Hall, the melancholy look on his face was replaced by calmness.

The loving father turned into a tyrant who ignored everything.

"Chen Liang, you just said that the concubines of the Eastern Palace are competing for favor? I know about Xuan'er's concubines. They are all gentle and polite. Nothing has happened in all these years." The emperor's keen insight discovered the twists and turns, and hesitantly asked the head of the Eastern Depot, "The Crown Princess is the daughter of the Sheng family. She is steady and sensible. How could she do such a stupid thing?"

Chen Liang, the supervisor of the East Factory, was silent for a moment, and then answered simply, "The Crown Prince's Consort Wang has been favored by His Highness since she entered the East Palace."

The emperor understood clearly that this was the case.

What is the difference between being the only one favored and seducing the master?

When a woman is blinded by jealousy, she is prone to doing stupid things.

"In that case, the Crown Princess should be stripped of the Imperial Jade Plate and sentenced to death," the Emperor said. "That Liang Di should also be sentenced to death, and her entire clan should be exterminated."

"Wang Liangdi is the concubine daughter of Prime Minister Wang." Chen Liang said.

"Whoever's daughter it is, she must be put to death!" the emperor said angrily. He almost let this seductive woman ruin his carefully selected crown prince. "Wang Yuan has become more and more daring in recent years! Sentence him to exile. If he has any objections, give me the dragon robe and slap it on his face!"

"Yes." Chen Liang replied, but he still had doubts in his heart. He felt it necessary to remind the emperor of something, "But, Wan Liangdi is pregnant and is about to give birth."

The emperor frowned, with a hint of displeasure and impatience in his tone: "Doesn't the prince have other children? My eldest grandson has grown up! Is she still missing a child?"

When Chen Liang heard the emperor say this, he bowed his head and replied respectfully: "I understand."

The emperor suddenly asked, "Do you think I am old?"

He raised his head quickly, with just the right amount of surprise on his face, "Your Majesty, it is mercy."

The emperor took a deep breath, turned his back to Chen Liang, waved his hand, and said tiredly: "Go, I'm tired."

East Palace.

Wanniang was lying on the bed, her bulging abdomen was tightening and painful, and she was about to faint.

As soon as those guys left, she felt unbearable abdominal pain. As soon as she lay down on the bed, her water broke.

The most difficult thing is for pregnant women who are frightened or have urgent labor.

The midwife had been in the mansion early in the morning, and she was putting all her effort into delivering the baby for the prince's favorite concubine.

But looking at the situation tonight, why is there no one else busy for Wan Liangdi except her?

There was no one in the huge palace. It was cold and deserted. There was not even a maid to change the hot water basin. There was only a quietly burning candle.

There were bursts of screams coming from the palace, which was very terrifying in the silent night.

Xiao Xuan sat on the bench in the porch, looking at the bright moonlight, wondering what he was thinking.

His Crown Princess returned to her bedroom and quietly waited for the imperial decree of death. She did not even look at him as she passed him.

The woman he loved most gave birth to a child in it.

At the moment when life and death intersected, Xiao Xuan was surprisingly calm.

He has seen too many conspiracies and intrigues in his life, and he was able to grow up safely because he stayed away from disputes since childhood.

He became the crown prince in less than a year. Even though he took every precaution and dared not make even the slightest mistake, he still could not prevent the criminals from breaking into his backyard.

That man wanted to seize the throne and kill him.

Xiao Xuan knew that Wanniang was simple-minded, timid and cowardly, and there was no way she could embroider a dragon robe.

And his Crown Princess, the elegant and graceful daughter of the Sheng family, stood in front of him at the most critical moment, dragged her privately made dragon robe into the jealousy among the concubines, and drove him out.

How could Sheng Surou be a jealous person?

No matter how sad she was, she would never admit that she was jealous.

The perfect mask of Sheng's legitimate daughter requires her to always maintain the demeanor and dignity of a legal wife.

Xiao Xuan closed his eyes, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"Your Highness, Concubine Liang can't give birth!" said the midwife in panic.

Xiao Xuan stared at the inner hall blankly without saying anything.

The screams gradually faded, accompanied by the sobbing "Your Highness"...

Xiao Xuan's eyes were wet.

Chen Liang came to announce the decree in the middle of the night. He held his breath and heard no more sounds in the palace. He asked, "Did Concubine Wan Liang leave with the little grandson?"

The prince nodded woodenly, but the tears had disappeared from his eyes.

"Don't blame me, Your Highness. We have to go in and check it out." Chen Liang said, walking a few steps and then turning back. His cold and pale face looked terrifying in the moonlight. "The Crown Princess suddenly fell ill and has passed away."

Xiao Xuan raised his bloodshot eyes, as if he didn't understand Chen Liang's words. He opened his mouth, gripped by great grief.

"The emperor has given the crown princess dignity out of consideration for his eldest grandson. Your Highness, please thank him."

Xiao Xuan staggered to his knees and fell on the cold ground. He looked as if he had lost his soul, and his head banged heavily on the ground again and again. "Thank you, son."

Chen Liang, the supervisor of the East Factory, looked at the crown prince crawling on the ground, and his mind flew to Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane.

The noble young man in the clouds sent someone to tell him that the Eastern Palace had privately made dragon robes. It was a good method, but it was still not down-to-earth.

He looked down upon women's hearts. Although women are the easiest to exploit, they are also the most unpredictable.

Or maybe the emperor was extremely satisfied with this crown prince, and this couldn't shake him at all!
