After the host binds to the childbearing system, one baby will be born.

Liu Youxi felt the powerful pressure from the emperor. He shrank his head and wished he could disappear underground.

Suddenly, a low, cold laugh rang out from the dead silent and empty Qinzheng Hall: "Ha!"

"Your Majesty, Minister Cen is outside requesting to see you." Another eunuch's voice came from outside the palace gate.

"Pass it on." Qin Zhao's originally gloomy face suddenly changed. He sat on the chair with an unclear expression and said, "Everyone go down."

"Yes." Following Qin Zhao's order, all the palace servants waiting in the Qinzheng Hall filed out, fearing that they would be affected by the emperor's anger.

After getting permission, Cen Qi lifted his robe and walked in. At a glance, he saw Qin Zhao sitting on a chair with a bad look on his face and tightly pursed lips.

He chuckled, his gentle temperament was evident, and after bowing, he said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty doesn't look very happy, but is there anything troubling you?"

Cen Qi and Qin Zhao grew up together and had a close relationship, like brothers. Cen Qi was not only Qin Zhao's tutor, but also his aide and brother.

In the past few years, it was thanks to Cen Qi's help and support that Qin Zhao was able to quickly take control of the court situation.

With his wisdom and talent, Cen Qi became an indispensable and capable assistant to Qin Zhao. The tacit understanding and trust between them enabled them to cooperate seamlessly on the political stage.

When Qin Zhao saw Cen Qi, the anger on his face subsided a lot, but he still said in a somewhat cold tone: "I like a woman."

Cen Qi found a chair and sat down. When he heard Qin Zhao's words, he raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "If your majesty likes it, you can bring her into the palace to raise her."

Cen Qi knew that Qin Zhao had a strange fate. Since the death of all his relatives ten years ago, Qin Zhao's temperament became more and more strange and introverted. After that, every time he favored a woman, she died. His temperament became even more silent and withdrawn.

Occasionally when I face him, I am no longer as happy as before.

Qin Zhao hesitated: "But she is already married."

Cen Qi paused, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled slightly and said earnestly: "How difficult is this? With your status, it is not difficult to get a woman."

Qin Zhao frowned and clenched his fists. "I don't want to use force. Besides, I am cursed... I don't want her to die."

Your Majesty, are you attracted to that woman?

Strange!

"Then your majesty can first win her heart, but she is a woman in the inner house, even if she is interested in your majesty, she can't easily leave her husband's house."

Cen Qi analyzed, "Why not send someone to protect her safety first, and then find a way to make her willingly follow His Majesty back to the palace."

A glimmer of hope and joy flashed across Qin Zhao's eyes. "That's great. But...what if she doesn't want to?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Cen Qi soothed, "Matters of love need to be considered over time. I think the most important thing right now is to understand her feelings. If she also has feelings for Your Majesty, everything will be easy."

Qin Zhao nodded in agreement.

"However, her husband's family also needs to be dealt with. Cen Qi, the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is still in decline. You should arrange for them to be dealt with. Remember not to affect her."

When Cen Qi heard this, he immediately knew who the woman His Majesty was talking about. After all, there have been a lot of things about Jing'an Marquis's Mansion during this period.

Cen got up and knelt down to receive the order: "I obey your order."

After Cen Qi left the hall, Qin Zhao leaned back on the dragon chair, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

He didn't know how deep his feelings for that woman were, but he knew that he didn't want to lose her. No matter what, he had to keep her by his side.

……

Fallen Flower Courtyard.

The Marquis' wife and the Marquis stood by the bed, watching with concern as the court physician examined Chen Siyuan who was lying on the bed.

Chen Siyuan's lower body was beaten to pieces, his face was frighteningly pale, and he looked much weaker, hanging on with only one breath.

After examining him, the court doctor sighed deeply and said to the Marquis and his wife with a serious face: "Marquis, Madam, the young master's injuries are too severe! Not only did he injure his waist, but his leg bones were also severely injured. Moreover, the skin and flesh between his thighs were beaten horribly. It is obvious that the other party was extremely cruel and wanted to take his life!"

Hearing this, the Marquis and his wife's faces became extremely gloomy and fearful.

Yuan'er has angered His Majesty, so His Majesty has taken such cruel action!

The court doctor continued, "Although the flesh wounds are easy to treat, his internal injuries and bone injuries are extremely difficult to deal with. Even if they can be cured, I'm afraid there will be serious sequelae. The worst case scenario is that he is likely to be paralyzed in bed and never be able to stand up again."

Madam Hou was horrified when she heard this: "How...how could this be possible! Why is Yuan'er's injury so serious?"

paralysis?

Yuan'er is only eighteen years old this year, how can he be paralyzed in bed from now on?

Marquis Jing'an looked unhappy. Although he had many children, he only had one legitimate son. Now his title of crown prince was stripped by His Majesty and he became a waste. This legitimate son was completely useless.

Jing'an Marquis was already very impatient. He no longer had any hope for a useless son. He said casually, "Madam, please take good care of Yuan'er. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Marquis Jing'an left.

Seeing Marquis Jing'an gone, Madam Hou burst into tears. She grabbed the doctor's clothes and begged, "Doctor Li, please save my son! He is still so young, he can't lie in bed forever!"

The court doctor was embarrassed. "Madam, I will do my best, but the young master's injuries are too serious. We can only leave it to fate. I will go and prescribe some medicine for the young master. The external injuries also need to be treated properly."

The Marquis' wife immediately thought of something, wiped her tears, and asked anxiously, "Will it affect his offspring?"

The court doctor shook his head and sighed: "This... is hard to say." After that, he picked up the medicine box and left.

Madam Hou sat decadently on the edge of the bed, staring at her son with lifeless eyes, her eyes full of pain and depression. At the same time, she felt even more resentful towards Lin Shuwan and Qingluan.

It's all because of those two bitches! She will never let them go!

At this moment, Chen Siyuan slowly opened his eyes and saw his mother's grief-stricken expression. His heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.

He raised his hand with great effort, gently held the hand of the Marquis, and said weakly: "Mother, I am unfilial and have made you worry..."

Madam Hou quickly wiped away her tears and comforted him, "Yuan'er, don't talk. Only if you have a good rest can you recover soon."

Chen Siyuan forced a smile, "Mom, you don't have to worry too much. I believe that everything will be fine..."

"Yes!" Madam Hou nodded with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of determination. No matter what, she would find the miracle doctor and cure Yuan'er!
