Chapter 512: The Vase of Cannon Fodder in the Machiavellian Story (25)
It wasn't until midnight that Chu Yunxuan finally remembered to visit Zhao Ziyan.
He still doesn't know that all the women in the backyard have seen him and Zhao Ziyan kissing each other on the rockery.
So he took advantage of the darkness to sneak in through the back door. After entering, he smelled a strong smell of herbs, which was very different from the warm fragrance in Chun Niang's room. Mixed with the icy cold wind in the air, he subconsciously didn't want to be there. Stayed here too much.
But out of a guilty conscience, he pushed the door open and went in.
Zhao Ziyan was lying on the bed sickly, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were colorless, and her already thin figure was now as thin as paper. Chu Yunxuan looked at his frown and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
He was about to touch Zhao Ziyan's head, but the other party opened his hand violently. Then when Chu Yunxuan was stunned, he saw the woman on the bed staring at him with very cold and hateful eyes.
This look directly tore all his tenderness to pieces.
The man's expression also turned cold instantly.
"What do you want?"
"Those women in your backyard almost killed me. What do you think I want from you! I want to be a couple for the rest of my life! I want you to marry me!"
Chu Yunxuan laughed angrily.
"Marry you? That's okay. I don't want the throne anymore. I'll go directly to His Majesty to ask for an idle official position. I'll kick out all the women in the backyard, okay?!"
Zhao Ziyan fell silent again, biting her lip and looking at Chu Yunxuan with tears in her eyes.
How could she let him give up the throne that he was about to get?
She had suffered so many grievances and suffered so much, and seeing that her suffering was about to be over, how could she give up willingly?
Chu Yunxuan stood up and said something coldly.
"Next time, think it over carefully before telling me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Ziyan clutched the quilt tightly, tears falling heavily.
Thinking about it this way, I was really being unreasonable just now.
After all, Chu Yunxuan did not expect that it would be like this. Compared with other ancient people, he had done well enough. What's more, he was still a prince and the future lord of the world, but now he only loved himself.
If you want to blame, you can only blame those women!
Especially Jiang Lai, who doesn't think it's too big a deal to watch the excitement. He's a loser but only thinks about the scheming in the backyard!

Chu Yunxuan turned around and went directly to Chun Niang's wing. Whenever he was irritable now, he wanted to find something to relax. People outside were so distracted that it was easy for others to criticize him. Since he had everything in his house, why bother himself.
Besides, he just listens to music and doesn’t do anything else.
Chun Niang has a good voice. She sings to Chu Yunxuan at night and to Jiang Lai during the day. Her voice is so charming that it makes people sleepy and very hypnotic.
Every time she finished singing, she would ask for a reward. Ever since she discovered that Jiang Lai was more generous than Chu Yunxuan, Chun Niang began to deal with Chu Yunxuan, leaving enough energy for Jiang Lai to sing.
"Princess, Your Highness goes to my room every night, but... he never does anything else. Am I not good enough?"
"No, it has nothing to do with you, just keep singing like you are now."
Chun Niang didn't ask how much. Anyway, her daily task was to serve Chu Yunxuan well, and then gamble with her money. No matter how much she lost, she would come back and continue begging. Her life was much more relaxed than before.
When the time was almost up, and seeing that Zhao Ziyan could no longer hold back anymore and took the initiative to apologize, Jiang Lai went directly to meet the queen. After staying in the palace for an afternoon, Chu Yunxuan was soon called into the palace.
His Majesty summoned him personally, while the Queen listened.
"A few days ago, your house was robbed. The government went to investigate the matter for many days but could not find any trace of the theft. What do you think of this matter?"
Chu Yunxuan calmed down.
"My son has been preparing for the disaster relief in the second half of the year. I haven't devoted much energy to this matter. However, Governor Liu, who is so absorbed in solving the case, will definitely be able to give me an explanation. Thank you for your concern, father."
The emperor looked at him and suddenly smiled, his old eyes full of clarity.
Of course he knew where the dowry went.
The emperor felt a little more chilled towards his son.
The queen on the side suddenly said something again.
"This disaster relief work can take place in three or four months at least, or half a year at most. The Eighth Prince is already quite old. If we leave for another six months, the issue of the heir will be delayed again."
The emperor looked at Chu Yunxuan with obscure eyes.
"Indeed, among the brothers, apart from the second child, the one that worries me the most is you, who has no children for a long time. Unlike your eldest brother, who had another son last month.
You and his brother are both serving as officials in the government. Your eldest brother has done much better than you in dealing with the backyard. ”
Chu Yunxuan's heart tightened after hearing this.
The boss is his current rival and the person supported by Chu Yunci. He didn't worry much before. After all, the boss was too stupid to be useful. But recently, he has done several things that impressed His Majesty, which seems to threaten his position. .
Plus the heirs...
Another heir!
His Majesty's words were clearly a blow to him, or even a threat to him. If he had no more heirs, there would be something wrong with his health, and he would no longer have the throne!
After Chu Yunxuan left, the queen said intentionally or unintentionally.
"This kid is very thoughtful and focused on the court. Your Majesty can relax a little bit in the future."
"Humph! It's just a child's foolish opinion! You can't even handle things in the backyard, and you still want to handle the affairs in the court?!"
What the old emperor is now afraid of is his son interfering too much in court affairs.
What the queen said directly made his impression of Chu Yunxuan worse.
I used to think that my eighth son could be of great use, but now it seems that it is too early to draw a conclusion.
——
As soon as he returned home, Chu Yunxuan went directly to Zhao Ziyan.
Without waiting for her to speak, he repeatedly asked her if she had been feeling anything else lately.
Zhao Ziyan thought Chu Yunxuan cared about her, and while being moved, she did not forget to say gentle words.
"The body is fine."
"No problem..."
She is a female doctor, and she will definitely know if she is pregnant.
Chu Yunxuan was relieved.
Now it is no longer a matter of whether Zhao Ziyan is willing to give birth to her child, but whether she can have a child!
He waited and waited, but what was waiting for him was his brothers who looked like jackals and tigers and leopards, watching eagerly from the side.
If he had had an heir from the beginning, your Majesty might have made him the crown prince again!
"Chu Xuan, tonight you..."
"You can rest, I have something to deal with tonight."
Zhao Ziyan was extremely disappointed, but thinking about the current tense relationship between the two, she still nodded patiently.
That night, a heavy rain was approaching, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere and was extremely cold.
Following Jiang Lai's instructions, Chun Niang put on a gorgeous outfit, lit incense, played the harp and waited.
During the heavy rain, the door to her wing was pushed open, and a man dressed in cold strode in.
Little Pudding silently removed Bagua's eyes. (End of chapter)
