After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The fifth prince, Xiao Jiashan, is the only son of the current Queen Zheng.

The emperor now has a total of thirteen princes, five of whom, the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, the eighth prince, and the eleventh prince, died early.

The only princes who are eligible for marriage now are the third prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince.

The fifth prince had been engaged to Miss Wen Yanyu of the Wen family in his early years. It was arranged by Empress Dowager Zheng herself when the Duke of Zhenguo was still alive.

The Sixth Prince was engaged to his cousin, but because his cousin was in mourning, the wedding would be delayed for another year.

The third prince is the most beloved prince by the current emperor. He was named King of Qin by the emperor when he was fifteen years old.

The eldest and second princes died young, and now the Prince of Qin is the eldest.

The emperor wanted the Prince of Qin to get married a few years ago. The emperor doted on this son too much. The Prince of Qin was cold, aloof, and moody. He had no intention of getting married, so the emperor indulged him in everything.

After two years, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and forced him to marry the Minister of Rites's daughter Wei Ruxuan to the King of Qin.

Under normal circumstances, Wei Ruxuan should marry into the Prince of Qin's Palace in the second half of this year.

Half a month later, Shao Hong and his wife, the third wife of the Shao Mansion of Anqing Marquis, accompanied by Shao Junliang, the eldest grandson of the first wife, and Shao Junshou, the eldest grandson of the second wife, escorted Wen Yanyu, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, to the capital.

Because Miss Wen was in poor health and could not withstand the fatigue of the journey, she fell ill as soon as she arrived in the capital.

At this moment, Wei Ruxuan was lying in the arms of the fifth prince Xiao Jiashan, holding Xiao Jiashan's arm and acting coquettishly: "Your Highness, I am yours. When will you marry me?"

Xiao Jiashan had been bewitched by Wei Ruxuan to the point of death, and half of his soul had flown away.

After the passion faded, Xiao Jiashan suddenly remembered something and his face turned pale instantly.

Oh my God! He actually went so far as to go astray and sleep with his third brother's woman!

If that madman Xiao Chengji knew that he had cheated on him, would he kill him?

When Xiao Jiashan thought about meeting Xiao Chengji at the dinner tonight, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Wei Ruxuan smiled sweetly, raised her hand to wipe the sweat off Xiao Jiashan's forehead, and said timidly, "Your Highness will not be irresponsible to me, right?"

These days, Wei Ruxuan secretly invited a woman who had turned over a new leaf to teach her how to seduce men.

The other party had been in a brothel for so many years and understood this very well.

Xiao Jiashan was a prince and the empress's legitimate son, and the women serving him were mostly decent people. He would never dare to go to a place like a brothel.

Therefore, Wei Ruxuan's methods these days have made him so obsessed that he has completely forgotten about ethical principles.

Faced with Wei Ruxuan's questioning, Xiao Jiashan felt mixed emotions.

He had never met a woman as beautiful and fascinating as Wei Ruxuan.

In comparison, all the concubines in his house were useless and none of them could compare to Wei Ruxuan.

If he could marry Wei Ruxuan, of course he would like to.

but--

If the news of a younger brother stealing his brother's wife got out, how big of a scandal would that be? !

Xiao Jiashan hurriedly stood up: "I-I have something else to go back to-"

Wei Ruxuan grabbed Xiao Jiashan and said, "Your Highness, do you not want to take responsibility? Or do you want to marry the daughter of the Wen family as your prince's consort?"

When Xiao Jiashan heard Wei Ruxuan mention this, he immediately flew into a rage: "That sickly girl? How is that possible! I would rather die than marry a woman like that!"

The marriage between Xiao Jiashan and Wen Yanyu was arranged more than ten years ago.

At that time, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was at its peak, and Empress Dowager Zheng often summoned the Duke of Zhenguo's wife, Shao, to the palace. When Shao was pregnant with Yan Yu, Xiao Jiashan was only three years old.

At that time, Queen Mother Zheng said with a smile that if the baby in the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's belly was a daughter, she would be married to the Fifth Prince as his principal wife.

The mother of the fifth prince Xiao Jiashan had not yet been crowned queen at that time, but was Concubine Zheng who was overshadowed by Concubine Bo.

Faced with such a good marriage, how could Concubine Zheng not agree?

The Empress Dowager's words were golden. As soon as Shao's baby was born, Concubine Zheng hurriedly asked the Empress Dowager Zheng to grant the marriage. Thus, the marriage between Duke Zhenguo Wen and the fifth prince was settled.

No one could have imagined that all the male members of the once prosperous Duke Zhenguo Mansion would die on the battlefield.

"Bad luck! What bad luck!"

Queen Zheng took a deep breath and tried hard not to break the hairpin in her hand.

The maid who was combing her hair said softly, "After all, it was the Queen Mother who arranged the marriage. Now Miss Wen has already entered the capital. If you regret it now, I'm afraid--"

Before she could finish her words, Queen Zheng's jade hairpin was thrown to the ground and broke into two pieces!

"Marrying a girl who was born by her mother but not raised by her, who knows what kind of disaster will come!" Queen Zheng gritted her teeth in hatred, "I'm afraid her father, mother and brother were all killed by her! This Wen family is a family of short-lived ghosts!"

The maid was so frightened that she trembled, but she still managed to force out a smile: "Your Majesty, we still have to pay our respects to the Queen Mother later."

Queen Zheng suppressed her anger and went out after washing and dressing herself. She soon arrived at Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager Zheng's palace.

The Zheng family has produced two queens, which is a great honor.

Today's Queen Mother Zheng is Queen Zheng's aunt.

The old Empress Dowager has a head of snow-white hair. It is just the beginning of summer and men and women in the capital have already changed into thin clothes. However, the old Empress Dowager is frail and is still wearing a spring dress.

The Queen Mother, now old, loves to take care of flowers and grasses. Now she is holding a pair of scissors, personally trimming the branches and leaves of the potted snowdrops.

Queen Zheng approached Queen Mother Zheng cautiously and said, "Mother."

Queen Mother Zheng turned a deaf ear and continued fiddling with her branches. Nanny Zhao, who had been with Queen Mother Zheng for many years, was desperately winking at her.

Empress Zheng pretended not to understand what Nanny Zhao meant, and raised her voice slightly: "The young lady of the Wen family has already arrived in Beijing. The people of the Shao family said that she fell ill on the way due to the long journey. Yesterday, I sent the imperial physician to see her, and the imperial physician said that the girl was not in good health. I thought, Shan'er, can't be without someone to take care of her——"

Queen Mother Zheng finally raised her drooping eyelids.

Queen Zheng forced a smile and said, "Look, how about choosing two concubines with high social status for Shan'er to marry together?"

Before Empress Dowager Zheng could say anything, a report from the eunuch came from outside.

The fifth prince Xiao Jiashan came to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

Although Xiao Jiashan's appearance and bearing could not match the noble character of Qin Wang Xiao Chengji, he was still handsome and a top-notch handsome man among the powerful and wealthy in the capital.

Seeing her son coming over, Empress Zheng was naturally very pleased with everything and quickly waved her hand: "Shan'er, come and kowtow to your grandmother."

Queen Mother Zheng put the silver scissors in her hand on the tray: "Forget it. Where have you been fooling around with all the perfume and makeup on you?"
