Chapter 51 Many Children and Grandchildren

  "Who? Of course it's my great father!" Xuan Yuan Mu clenched his fists tightly. (Read the latest chapter first)

  "Maybe it's not the Emperor? How could he possibly harm his own son and daughter? Maybe it's the National Master, hiding behind the scenes, doing these things without the Emperor knowing. It's also possible." Xuan Yuan Qi proposed different ideas "Although I previously suspected that Princess Ruo Hua was drowned to death under the Fengyue Water Pavilion, but without evidence we can't speak recklessly!"

  "We'll know once we go tonight!" Xuan Yuan Mu said.

  At night, Xuan Yuan Mu and Xue Qiu Feng set out for the Wind and Moon Pavilion. I stayed in the East Palace with Princess Ruo Qing, her young face bearing a sorrow that didn't match her age, looking at me with an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Don't worry, rest assured, as long as your brother is around, he will protect you!"

  I don't know if Xuan Yuan can protect Ruo Qing princess, but I can only comfort her like this. The enemy standing in the dark now is none other than the Emperor of Tian Cang Kingdom, the person with the most power! Who can be a match for the Emperor? No one...

  Until midnight, Xuan Yuan Wu finally returned to the East Palace, looking weak all over. Xue Qiufeng glanced at me and nodded slightly before heading back to his room to change clothes.

  I sent Princess Ruoqing back to her own room and added more people to take care of her before leaving with peace of mind.

  "If the princess is indeed underwater!" Xuan Yuan said with a frown as I entered the room.

  I reached out and grasped Xuan Yuan's hand, this outcome we had both anticipated. "What about Princess Ruo Hua?"

  "She's not in the water, it seems she's still alive, Ling Xue!" Xuan Yuan Mu looked at me: "What kind of person is my father emperor? He... why did he want to treat us like this?"

  "Maybe it has nothing to do with him?"

  "In fact, we all know in our hearts, Ruo Xue knows, Ruo Qing knows, the empress also knows, these things are absolutely related to my father!" Xuan Yuan Mu's eyes were certain, even if the evidence was not complete, he had an answer in his heart.

  I tightly grasped his hand, the fear in my heart growing deeper. The Emperor's killing of the Crown Prince wasn't just limited to Xuan Yuan Mu alone, but also included his 'daughter', his son, and those children mentioned by the Empress?

  What's wrong with him? Is he a pervert? Why is he doing things in such an unscrupulous way?

  The next day, Xuan Yuan asked me to go to the imperial pharmacy to inquire about the emperor's physical condition. Normally, such matters are confidential, but Xuan Yuan is the crown prince and future emperor, so it was relatively easy for him to gather information about the emperor's situation.

  After inquiring, I found that His Majesty is very healthy and has a calm temperament. He likes Taoist rituals, eats vegetarian food, and sometimes even chants scriptures and does good deeds.

  How could a father like him possibly harm his own son and daughter? But the fact is right in front of us, who else in this palace has the ability to hurt the prince and princess except for him.

  The East Palace suddenly became lively, with two imperial concubines, one Princess of Nanzhao, and several third-rank consorts filling the entire palace to the brim. To expand the East Palace, Empress An even had the west wall demolished and connected it to the Zizhu Hall, and after passing through the Zizhu Hall, there were also several other palaces that became part of the East Palace's residence.

  "The emperor has no other wish, only hoping that you will have many children and grandchildren, so that the emperor can become a grandfather earlier!" Empress An smiled with her mouth closed, surrounded by Zhou Duo's female relatives.

  I was using mugwort to fumigate clothes in the courtyard when I saw them and hastily hid.

  "Mei Lingxue, come here!" Empress An's eyes were sharp and she spotted me at a glance.

  I walked over with my head down, holding my clothes.

  "This is the Crown Prince's personal attendant, Mei Lingxue. Although your ranks are higher than hers, I believe you've also heard of her. This attendant holds a position in the Crown Prince's heart that no one can match at present. If you want to know anything, you can ask her." Empress An said with a smile.

  "Mei Lingxue, haven't you greeted the ladies yet?" An Fei raised an eyebrow, her gaze as sharp as a knife.

  "Yes! May all masters be safe and sound!" I slightly bowed my body.

  Several women looked at me, sized me up, then pursed their lips and didn't say a word.

  "It's getting late, the Emperor will be having his morning court soon. I'll take my leave now, your rooms in the East Palace have all been prepared for you, so I won't keep you company any longer!"

  Anfei walked out amidst a chorus of farewell voices, leaving behind a group of women staring at me with piercing eyes.

  I am truly worried about Xuan Yuan's future, with the Zhang and Li families around, so many good wives and concubines, how will he face them.

  I saw An Fei had already walked far away, and turned around to head towards the front yard.

  "Hey! Stop right there, Mei Lingxue!" a woman shouted in a shrill voice, and by the time she finished speaking, she had already walked up to me.

  "I've long heard that you're the prince's favorite 'woman', the prince has unusual tastes, and you're the only one who can bear his tastes. I'd like to ask you, what exactly are the prince's tastes?" The woman stood in front of me, her perfume scent overwhelming.

  "The prince doesn't like women with too strong a scent, doesn't like pretentious women, and doesn't like trouble-making women. And..." I raised my head to stare at the woman opposite me, not backing down: "His hobby is sadism. The two concubines in the Eastern Palace previously were driven mad or to death by that kind of abuse. All you consorts and concubines, the prince is right there - whoever has the ability can go up!"

  I looked at the moon gate and Xuan Yuan was standing there!

  The women heard this and couldn't help but turn their heads nervously and hastily paid their respects to him.

  If it were in the past, I would never say such sharp and bitter words. However, now I find that in this deep and secluded palace, the more you try to avoid being kind, the less others will let you off. So from now on, I won't be avoiding anymore.

  Xuan Yuan Mu dodged the shadows of many 'women' and walked towards me, pulling my hand and turning to face the 'women' in front: "Although she is my personal 'maid', she is also the wife I recognized from the very beginning. Whoever dares to touch a single hair on her head, Xuan Yuan Mu will make sure that their entire family will not have a good death!"

  As soon as this sentence came out, all the 'female' relatives present gasped in unison, only An Mingzhu smiled and replied "Yes..."

  Anmingzhu looked at me with an inquiring gaze and a smile that hinted at amusement. As for me, I felt extremely familiar with her, but couldn't quite recall where we had met before.

  Xuanyuan hated the bustle and didn't like those 'women' who appeared in front of him for no reason, so he set up a 'guard' in his courtyard, directly avoiding trouble.

  But the emperor's intention is very clear, and he has sent imperial physicians to the East Palace three or four times to check Xuan Yuan Ye's body, only wanting him to give birth quickly.

  "What do you mean? The crown prince doesn't see anyone, the emperor's edict? But the crown prince is not in the room now!" Outside the courtyard, he remembered the voice of the 'attendant' guard sending away the imperial physician.
