Those people were newly replaced and were considered trustworthy by the Second Prince. The servants around were also sensible. When they saw the Second Prince's look, they immediately and quickly withdrew in an orderly manner.

The servants around: Concubine Xie is so crazy, they are also quite scared.

When the Second Prince saw that all the servants in the room had left, he looked at Xie Zixin coldly:

"Xie Zixin... do you know what you're talking about? Assassinating a prince, not only you, but even your Xuanping Marquisate cannot bear this crime."

Xie Zixin looked at the second prince without any fear. She had been a queen in her previous life and it was impossible for her to be frightened easily.

She touched her belly demonstratively. The royal family cared most about offspring. Now that she was pregnant, this matter could only be put aside.

The Second Prince had of course also seen Xie Zixin's actions. Although he really cared about this child, he was not someone who liked to be threatened.

He brushed his sleeves calmly, "This prince is indeed looking forward to this child, but that's all. If you think you can do whatever you want just because you're pregnant, you're wrong.

Even if this child is born, it will only be a concubine's child. The legitimate son is the most precious. Even if the wife is not in good health, there are so many people in the backyard waiting for this prince. As long as this prince asks, there will be no shortage of children.

They are all born out of wedlock, and none of them is more precious than the other.

So, for this prince, having this child is the icing on the cake; if I don't have one, I might feel sad and say, "I hope I won't choose a mother as clueless as you in my next life!"

Xie Zixin had lowered her head, but when she heard the Second Prince say this, she immediately raised her head and asked, "Li Jingchen, what did you say?"

Xie Zixin had originally been demoted from a principal concubine to a concubine, and she was already furious! Now the Second Prince directly said that the child in her belly was a concubine's, and she felt that the Second Prince was simply unforgivable.

The Second Prince's heart trembled when he saw Xie Zixin's crazy look. After all, he really valued this child.

He had no choice but to pretend to be calm and warned, "You'd better not get excited. If this child is gone, do you think the emperor will punish you again? After all, you are just a concubine of the prince, and Fu'an is half of the emperor's adopted son!"

The Second Prince's words shocked Xie Zixin, but Xie Zixin was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Haha, no matter what, Yuan Bohua's injury was in vain. Let's see how our Second Prince will get along with your good cousin and brother-in-law in the future?

I heard you're still friends with that idiot Yuan Bohua? So friendly! I love watching friends drift apart and become enemies.

Xie Zixin also knew what the Second Prince was worried about. Every word she said was against the Second Prince's bottom line.

The Second Prince was the type who would appear calm the more angry he got. Never letting his enemies laugh at him was his consistent principle. "Oh, you're indeed fine because you're pregnant, but what about the Xuanping Marquisate?"

"Don't scare me anymore. My father is not an incompetent man. There is no problem for him to run a marquis's mansion." Xie Zixin was so sure because when she died in her previous life, the Marquis Xuanping's mansion was still doing well, and even became more prosperous.

"Oh? Your father's job is over? What do you think the Marquis of Xuanping is doing in the palace now? Will he scold you for being an unfilial daughter? And all the people around you have been dealt with.

Fu'an hasn't even started his revenge yet? Are you and the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion ready?"

The second prince was not joking when he said the last sentence. If he didn't go to his cousin to plead for mercy, he was worried that his cousin would rush in with a knife.

Not to mention Fu An! He's a ruthless, arrogant man. If you really make him crazy, he'll dare to really go crazy for everyone to see. Only those who don't understand him think he has no clan behind him that is easy to bully.

Xie Zixin was indeed shocked. After all, her father had been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel in her previous life. She panicked and slumped over in her chair, clutching her stomach.

"My Lord, my stomach aches..."

The second prince's heart skipped a beat, but he simply reached out to help and then shouted to the people outside to call the imperial physician.

Anyway, in Xie Zixin's opinion, the Second Prince was quite calm throughout the whole process. At least Xie Zixin was very disappointed with the Second Prince's performance.

Originally, Xie Zixin wanted to take this opportunity to let the second prince beg the emperor to reinstate her father in a few days.

She knew best the position of the Second Prince in the Emperor's heart, but the Second Prince's behavior made it impossible for her to say what she had been preparing.

I can only hold it in and wait for another opportunity later.

Zhou Qiongyue also got the news. She got the news that Xie Zixin was pregnant. As for Yuan Bohua's injury, everyone in Yuan'an knew that it was Xie Zixin's doing.

After Zhou Qiongyue finished reading the note Duan Jianing passed to her, she calmly set fire to the lampshade.

Gu Yu saw that the princess had not taken any action after seeing it, and asked in confusion: "Princess, Concubine Xie is bullying people like this, shouldn't we take any action?"

Zhou Qiongyue shook her head. She felt that Yuan Bohua would not let the Xuanping Marquis Mansion go easily. Ever since she knew the prince's true face, she didn't think he could tolerate such a thing.

Seeing that Gu Yu still had a puzzled look, Zhou Qiongyue would not tell her that Xie Zixin should be surrounded by the emperor and the second prince's men now. As long as they took action, she would be exposed.

She could only change her words, "The Second Prince is a prince. It's not worth it to destroy the brother-sister relationship between us for Xie Zixin. Maybe the Queen is also waiting for us to do the job!"

As soon as Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, everyone understood the ancient saying instantly.

Zhou Qiongyue still gave one more instruction, asking people to pay attention to the movements in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and report to her immediately if there was any movement.

Gu Yu thought the princess was looking for something to hold against Marquis Xuanping, nodding her head eagerly like a chicken pecking at rice. In reality, Zhou Qiongyue was just waiting to see what was going on.

As expected, Zhou Qiongyue was not disappointed. The next morning, she heard Gu Yu's joyful report, "The two legitimate sons of the Marquis of Xuanping had their legs broken in the mansion last night, their mouths gagged, and they were left in a woodshed. The imperial physician examined them and said their bones were severely broken. They will be lame for the rest of their lives."

These are Concubine Xie's two brothers who were born from the same mother! It seems that the title of Marquis Xuanping will fall on the heads of illegitimate children in the future. I don't know which hero did this good deed.

When the ancients said this, there was no concealment of the gloating in their words.

Zhou Qiongyue thought, who else could it be, your prince! But she still agreed on the surface: "If I knew which good man did it, this princess would thank him! It would be quite relieved."

Yuan Bohua: It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me. I just asked someone to give some suggestions.
