Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 601 The Emperor Guessed the Mastermind

Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "When I first saw Ah Xu do this, I was also shocked. But the nurse said that this is a normal reaction for babies of this month."

Nanny Lin stood beside him with a loving look on her face: "Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"As the baby's body develops, its limbs gradually become more flexible and its movements become more frequent. When it grows faster between three and five months, it still cannot control its legs well, so it will fall heavily when it lifts its legs."

"Or maybe the Fourth Prince is also training himself in this way."

"When the queen was this old, she also liked to smash her legs for fun."

Shen Zhinian glared at Nanny Lin: "Nanny, aren't you talking about Ah Xu? How come you're talking about me..."

Nanny Lin lowered her head and smiled.

Handan and the others couldn't help but smile.

Hearing what Nanny Lin said and looking at Shen Zhinian's slightly red cheeks, Nangong Xuanyu could imagine that when she was as old as Ah Xu, she must have been so cute that it could melt people's hearts.

It’s a pity that he hasn’t seen it.

The emperor's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but said: "Niannian, give me another little princess."

She will definitely be as soft and cute as her.

The Fourth Prince had been smashing the bed for so long that he seemed tired and stopped.

Shen Zhinian asked the nurse to pick him up and put him back in the cradle, and asked with a smile: "Doesn't your majesty already have an eldest princess and a second princess?"

"That's different."

The emperor looked at Shen Zhinian with a hint of affection that he himself did not realize: "If Nian Nian is the princess I give birth to, I will definitely make her the most dazzling pearl in the Great Zhou!"

There was a strange look in Shen Zhinian's eyes...

Both the wet nurse and Tang Luochuan said that having many children will bring suffering to the mother, and frequent childbirth will have a great impact on a woman's body.

There were many favorite concubines in the past dynasties. Because they were too favored, they became pregnant again not long after giving birth...

In the end, she gave birth to many children in a row, her body was exhausted, and she passed away at a young age.

It is no exaggeration to say that childbirth is a matter of life and death.

Especially since Shen Zhinian is a woman who is easy to get pregnant...

Therefore, after she was able to serve the emperor in bed, she privately asked Tang Luochuan to make her similar jewelry, imitating the Hetian jade bracelet that had contraceptive properties.

Shen Zhinian wears it every day, and she won't get pregnant even if she sleeps with the emperor frequently.

But... in the eyes of the world, it was the duty of concubines to expand the royal family. Even if concubines died giving birth to royal heirs, it was their blessing.

Shen Zhinian would naturally not let Nangong Xuanyu know about this.

After experiencing the feeling of being a mother, she really likes children. Even if she is tired and exhausted on weekdays, as long as she sees Ah Xu's smiling face, Shen Zhinian feels that the world is very beautiful.

Whether to have another little princess... She hasn't thought about it carefully yet, but at least not now.

Shen Zhinian gave Nangong Xuanyu a shy smile: "Your Majesty, the fate of children is not up to us. How can I give birth to a child just because I want to..."

Nangong Xuanyu just said this suddenly, and he certainly understood this truth: "It doesn't matter, I and Nian Nian still have many years to spend together."

He walked to the cradle and lifted the fourth prince out of it.

In the past, although Nangong Xuanyu loved the Fourth Prince very much, there was not much other emotion in this love.

Ever since he found out that the third prince was born with Tang syndrome...A Xu is his only normal prince.

Perhaps even Nangong Xuanyu himself did not realize that, imperceptibly, the importance of the Fourth Prince in his heart had completely changed...

"Wow--"

All of a sudden, the Fourth Prince burst into tears.

Nangong Xuanyu hugged his small body, feeling a little helpless: "But I didn't hold him well, did I hurt Ah Xu?"

Almost every time he came to Zhongcui Palace, he would hug Ah Xu. He already knew where to put his hand. This was not right!

Shen Zhinian was already very experienced, and signaled the nurse to take the fourth prince down to feed him: "It's nothing, Ah Xu is just hungry."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, looking at the figure of the fourth prince being taken away by the wet nurse, and shook his head helplessly: "This child..."

Nanny Lin and the others retreated at some point, leaving only Shen Zhinian and Nangong Xuanyu in the inner room.

She propped her chin on her hand, looked at him and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any progress on the incident on the night of the Lantern Festival?"

When the matter was mentioned, the emperor's eyes darkened: "Everyone in the Mighty Hall said that they didn't know your identity, and they had never seen the person who hired the murderer."

"Every time they met, they were in a secluded private room, talking behind a screen."

"But according to a killer from the Mighty Hall, although the man deliberately disguised his voice, one could still tell that his voice was rather high-pitched and not like that of a normal man. It seemed... he was a eunuch."

The two of them had been together for such a long time, Nangong Xuanyu knew her more or less. So at this moment, Shen Zhinian did not pretend to be surprised, but lowered his eyes and said: "As expected..."

"I have lived in the palace for a long time and have never made enemies with anyone, let alone provoked a gang. Why would I be killed?"

"Only people in the palace would want to get rid of me just to win your majesty's favor..."

Nangong Xuanyu embraced Shen Zhinian in his arms: "I only gave Zhan Weiran ten days."

"If he cannot find the mastermind behind this within ten days, the position of commander of the Imperial Guards will be replaced by someone else."

"Niannian, please wait patiently for a few more days."

In fact...the emperor already had someone he suspected in his mind.

After all, there are only a handful of people in the palace who have a grudge against Concubine Xian and are capable of bribing the killers from the Weiwu Hall.

But the matter was of great importance and he needed solid evidence.

Deep down in his heart, the emperor was unwilling to believe that she would really do such a vicious thing...

Therefore, let Zhan Weiran speak with evidence!

Shen Zhinian's cheek was pressed against Nangong Xuanyu's chest, and the corners of her lips slowly raised a hint of sneer, but her tone was extremely gentle: "Your Majesty, I believe in you."

He had already guessed the answer in his heart, didn't he?

It's just that men don't want to imagine their first love to be so unbearable. So they won't give up until the last moment.

It's ok.

She will see with her own eyes how Nangong Xuanyu's good impression of Concubine Shu is gradually shattered until it is completely shattered!

……

Cining Palace.

Although Empress Dowager Liu was paralyzed, she still knew clearly about many things that happened in the palace.

Especially the incident of Concubine Xian being injured while protecting the emperor caused such a sensation, so naturally she heard about it.

Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked, "...What has Concubine Shu been doing these days?"

Nanny Yuan was very pleased: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu followed your instructions and has been staying at Yongshou Palace to take good care of the eldest princess and the third prince."

Fearing that Empress Dowager Liu would worry, she deliberately said, "The Concubine Shu has never troubled the Concubine Xian."
