The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 893: My Sister Asks for Punishment

Don’t you love this kind of North Wing?

This question made Xiao Zhi's heart warm, because no one had ever asked him this question before.

He only knew that as a prince he had to fight his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses. The dragon throne on the Golden Palace was a staircase made of bones.

He only knew that human life was worthless. People he saw every day were gone in the blink of an eye.

His mother was like this. She was preparing for the queen coronation ceremony the day before, and she fell into the water the next day. When she was fished out, she looked completely different.

This is how it is with brothers and sisters. Only three or two of them can survive the attacks.

This is how it was for the palace maids. The maids who were kneeling to serve tea in the early morning were dragged to the mass grave at noon.

This is the case with civil and military officials. They were making passionate speeches in the court yesterday, but today their heads and bodies are separated.

The same was true for the common people. The "thousands of casualties" mentioned lightly in the border war reports actually meant thousands of shattered homes.

Since he was young, Xiao Zhi believed that it was his duty to avenge his mother. He was not close to his father, the emperor, and the man sitting on the dragon throne did not like his mother.

He who is not close to his brothers and sisters - those blood relatives who want to kill him either openly or secretly - are man-eating beasts.

He lived with the daily reminders from Eunuch An, "Empress Zhen died unjustly, Your Highness. Empress Zhen was pushed into the lake."

As he grew older, the dripping sound of the clepsydra carved hatred into his bones inch by inch.

Xiao Zhi never thought that the beautiful country could be measured by love and hate.

But the eyes of the imperial sister were so bright and firm, the morning light shattered into thousands of stars in her almond-shaped pupils, "Royal brother, don't you want the Northern Wing to usher in a more powerful and prosperous era in your hands? Look at the people from all directions coming to congratulate you, look at the beacon fires on the border being extinguished, look at the little children who don't know what weapons are?"

She drew a cake, a round, big, hot cake that tasted better when dipped in hot blood.

She said so much just to lead to this sentence, "My brother wants to escape to Huizhou, is he really going to ignore this vast country?"

Xiao Zhi's pupils darkened, "How could the imperial sister know..."

That's right, he was planning to resign and return to his fiefdom when his father returned to the court. He didn't want to be a crown prince, let alone an emperor.

He asked Eunuch An to go ahead, and he would arrive later.

But he only thought so in his heart and never told anyone.

But then An Xia said, "My brother has never been a man obsessed with power. You fought for the throne back then just to avenge yourself and to survive. Now that your enemy has been killed, you no longer have any interest in the throne."

Xiao Zhi's eyes suddenly surged, like a storm crashing against the shore. No one had ever understood him like this, including Eunuch An.

"You even thought that it would be best if the consort was your father's biological son, so that he could naturally take over your position. Or if you carefully train the Ninth Prince for a few years, he would also be able to take over the position." Shi Anxia said leisurely, "Brother, I have no intention of influencing your thoughts. I just hope you can think about my question today, 'Do you love Beiyi like this?'"

Xiao Zhi felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he felt a little guilty for no reason.

At this moment, Shi Anxia supported herself on the armrests and struggled to stand up with her bulging belly.

Before Xiao Zhi could react, he saw her slowly kneeling on the jade bricks.

Xiao Zhi was so frightened that he reached out to help her but froze in mid-air, "Royal sister, you can't do that!"

Shi Anxia knelt stubbornly, raised her head and said, "My royal brother, please sit down and let me apologize."

Xiao Zhi froze on the spot for a moment, then sat back obediently, an incredible thought rising in his mind.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Shi Anxia confirmed it.

She said, "The saying 'the emperor's son-in-law is his father's son who was exiled to the people' was introduced to Chang'an County from Liang State. But I ordered someone to tell Eunuch An about it, and I also had someone pass the 'Hundred Days of Drunk' to Eunuch An."

Xiao Zhi was in a state of confusion, as if struck by lightning, and his blood froze. He asked in a trembling voice, "Why is this happening?"

As soon as he asked this question, he understood the deep meaning.

If Eunuch An is determined, does not act on his own initiative, and does not believe in rumors, how can the words deliberately said by others be effective?

Shi Anxia waited for him to figure it out before slowly saying, "Rumors will spread to the capital sooner or later. I just made preparations in advance. My brother may think that I am doing something unnecessary, but if I have to do it again, I will still do it this way."

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed three times to apologize. It was not advisable to test people's hearts, but she had to do it.

No more words, leave.

The foreshadowing had been done, and the confession had been made. This kind of thing could not be concealed. Even if it was concealed, when the prince thought about it carefully, many misunderstandings would arise.

It is better to let her mouth tell what she has done.

She knew his character and would not get angry and crazy for no reason, so she told him everything.

If she had a character like that of Prince Jin, she might have done ten more things to cover up that one thing.

On the way back home, Shi Anxia was so tired that she fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage.

Bei Hui felt distressed and did not let the carriage return home immediately. Instead, she told the driver to drive steadily and drove around several wide roads.

She wanted her wife to sleep a little longer. Otherwise, she would wake up as soon as the carriage stopped. Once she woke up, she didn't know when she would be able to fall asleep again.

My wife has been suffering from insomnia lately. She has a rough sleep and can't get a good night's sleep. She is pregnant but can't give birth.

Mrs. Meng hadn't slept well for several days and nights. Her water hadn't broken and there was no sign of labor. She couldn't do anything. She couldn't cut open her belly and force the fetus out.

The carriage went around for a while before Shi Anxia finally woke up. She felt a little pain in her stomach, so she asked Bei Hui, "Are you going to give birth?"

Bei Hui panicked, "Yes, that should be it?"

The carriage hurried to the mansion.

As soon as he entered the palace, another batch of silver charcoal awarded by the prince from the palace arrived.

Xiao Shuzi came to pass on a message, but no one cared to answer him. Everyone was busy.

Xiao Shuzi went back to report to the prince, saying that the princess might be about to give birth, and everyone in the palace was very busy.

Xiao Zhi was also very anxious. If he had cared about his sister in the past, it was because of his father's instructions and because of his gratitude to his husband.

After that extremely frank conversation just now, he felt for the first time that his sister truly understood him.

I know that he is not a person obsessed with power, and I also know that he is not attached to the position of the emperor.

Xiao Zhi also developed a closeness towards Shi Anxia that only real siblings can have. Otherwise, how could the imperial sister be so honest with him?

He quickly accepted this fact, because eunuch An had not suffered any substantial harm and would be better off if he was sent to Huizhou.

And he no longer had to feel guilty towards his sister. In the whole thing, the one who was most exhausted was actually his sister, who was pregnant and had to worry about so many things. How could he, a man, have the nerve to blame her?

After a few more days, Shi Anxia still couldn't give birth to the child.

Xiao Zhi had just instructed Xiao Shuzi to go to the Young Master's Mansion to inquire about the situation when he received an urgent battle report brought back by the messenger.

Break through Duanhongsai and win a great victory in Tiema City!

Emperor Mingde is about to return to the capital!

In addition, there was a secret letter written by Emperor Mingde.
