Zhou Qian held the lamp and entered the tunnel. After entering, he pressed a switch and the tunnel entrance was closed.
Going down the steps, Zhou Qian came to a secret room. A lamp was lit in the secret room, and a man was lying on the bed at the end.
The man was tall, and he was obviously the jade-faced man, Wei Xuanyuan, who was struck by King Xuan's sword and fell into the moat.
Wei Xuanyuan got up and got out of bed when he heard the noise. After more than a month of recuperation, his health was almost better.
However, he has lost a lot of weight, and it seems that he has experienced a life and death disaster.
As for how he escaped death, it is not difficult to say.
The dirty water and sewage in the palace were drained into the moat through the sewers. After cutting through the ice with his sword and jumping into the moat, he found a dry sewer and hid in it.
The sewer was quite warm except for the smelly spots, so he huddled in it and waited until the officers and soldiers who searched the place had evacuated the next day before escaping and arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is much safer than Yongsheng Trading Company, and An Anxin stayed here to recover from his injuries for more than a month.
Wei Xuanyuan got up and put on his shoes, then grabbed the cloak on the side and put it on, then came to sit at the table beside the bed.
"Master." Zhou Qian called respectfully and stepped forward to pour him tea.
"Yeah." Wei Xuanyuan responded, holding the teacup in his right hand and taking a sip. Only his thumb and little finger were left on his left hand on the table.
Since Zhou Qian called him master, he must also be his. Prime Minister Zhou probably never dreamed that the most trusted guard around him would call someone else 'master'.
This 'master' is still his mortal enemy Wei Xuanyuan.
"Has the master's injury been healed?" Zhou Qian asked.
"It's no longer serious." Wei Xuanyuan replied. After recuperating for so many days, his injury has completely healed.
"Master, what should we do next?" Zhou Qian asked.
"The first thing, of course, is to kill Princess Ye." When the name Princess Ye was mentioned, Wei Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with fierceness, he raised his left hand and gritted his teeth and said, "My fingers, soles~~ and the sword stabbed by King Xuan
, I owe it all to her, and she must repay all of it."
Thinking of this, he wished he could break into Prince Ye's Mansion immediately and cut Princess Ye into pieces.
But he still suppressed the hatred in his chest and said: "But before killing her, I have to go to the palace to confirm one thing."
"Is it because Princess Daqi is pregnant?" Zhou Qian asked.
It seems that Zhou Qian's position around Wei Xuanyuan is much more important than Murong Hong's, and he even knows such secret things.
"Yes." Wei Xuanyuan nodded, "I have to confirm whether she is pregnant with a boy or a girl."
"Master, it doesn't matter whether my subordinates think it's a boy or a girl." Zhou Qian said, "If you're pregnant with a female fetus, you'll find a male fetus and change it." Wei Xuanyuan was silent. If he was pregnant with a female fetus before, he would never do it.
Maybe he agreed, but who would support someone else’s son to become emperor?
But then I thought, now it is impossible for him to come and go freely in the palace. If Charlotte is really pregnant with a girl, there is no other way except this.
Then he hummed and told Zhou Qian, "Go find Shenye Xingyi, I'm going to the palace tonight."
"Yes." Zhou Qian responded and left the underground secret room.
After a while, he came in with the night clothes and handed them to Wei Xuanyuan.
In Zhaoshu Palace, Xia Luoluo was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a pair of big hands reached into the bed. She was so frightened that she woke up immediately. When she tried to open her mouth, her mouth was blocked.
"It's me." A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Charlotte almost jumped in fright.
"I'm not a ghost, I'm still alive." Seeing that Xia Luoluo was trembling with fear, Wei Xuanyuan hurriedly explained, squeezed into the bed and hugged Xia Luoluo.
"Wei Xuanyuan? Are you really still alive?" Xia Luoluo's voice was full of disbelief.
"Yes, still alive, surprise?"
"Didn't I say that you were seriously injured and fell into the moat? How did you escape?" Charlotte was still in shock. She touched his cheek with trembling hands. When she saw that it was hot, she let go of her fear and stopped.
Trembling.
Wei Xuanyuan told the story in an understatement, and Xia Luoluo suddenly realized that Wei Xuanyuan was not simple, and cooperation with him would definitely be a "win-win".
She hugged him hurriedly and said softly: "Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise we, mother and son, would have no one to rely on."
"Don't worry, not only will nothing happen to me, but I will definitely put my son on the throne." He put his hand on her belly and asked, "How many months have it been?"
"It's almost two months." Charlotte grabbed his hand, "But it's not me who's pregnant, it's Concubine Xia of Guhua Palace."
"Oh, it's her?" Wei Xuanyuan was disappointed, "Why can't your land sprout? Why don't you try harder tonight?" He said while taking action.
After an argument between Zhaoshu Palace and Xia Luoluo, Wei Xuanyuan went to Guhua Palace to check Shen Weiwei's pulse. Shen Weiwei saw a dead man suddenly appear in front of her bed and was so frightened that she almost fainted.
It took Wei Xuanyuan a long time to explain to her before he convinced her that he was not a ghost. After explaining clearly, Wei Xuanyuan took Shen Weiwei's pulse.
The pulse showed that it was a male fetus, which made Wei Xuanyuan ecstatic, and urged Shen Weiwei to take good care of herself, and promised that if she gave birth to the child well, she would be rewarded with five hundred thousand taels of silver.
Five hundred thousand taels, Shen Weiwei almost fainted with joy.
After leaving Guhua Palace, Wei Xuanyuan entered Zhaoshu Palace again and told Xia Luoluo that Shen Weiwei was pregnant with a boy. Charlotte was also extremely surprised.
"As long as the child is born and raised to two or three years old, I will help him ascend the throne." Wei Xuanyuan said firmly.
"Okay, I believe in you, princess." Since he is the late emperor's prince and has been dormant for so many years, he must have power in the court. Charlotte believes that he has this ability.
"I seem to have heard you mention that you wanted to kill Princess Ye before, right?'
"That's right." Xia Luoluo gritted her teeth. The hatred between her and Shen Yuyu was more than just love.
I heard from Phantom that the poison in his father's body was controlled by a strange medicine. Shen Yue must have fed his father the medicine when he unveiled the imperial list, which reminded his father that he was poisoned!
So her dream of becoming an empress was shattered, all thanks to Shen Yue!
"Go and kill her for my princess!" Charlotte said bitterly.
"Since you want her life, then I will definitely help you kill her." Wei Xuanyuan only wanted to kill Shen Yuyu, but did not show it at all, and used this matter to please Xia Luoluo.
Xia Luoluo was really moved, "You are the best to me. I will definitely protect your son. Don't worry."
"It's not my son, it's our son." Wei Xuanyuan emphasized.
Before leaving, he said to Charlotte: "Now that the palace has strengthened its security, I rarely come in once. The next time I come in, I will inform you of the good news of Princess Ye's death. Just wait." After saying that, he ran up to the roof and quietly walked.
