Please, I Just Want to Be the Cousin

Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—

Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.

Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....

Chapter 243 The Emperor's Generosity

Just as the second prince was about to leave, Xie Zixin stopped him.

It is not long before the time when Xie Zixin was pregnant with her eldest son in her previous life. Xie Zixin does not want to miss this opportunity. If so, she is afraid that the child she is pregnant with will not be the same child as in her previous life.

She only wanted the two children from her previous life. "I've thought about it, Your Highness, please listen to me!"

The Second Prince readily sat down again and said, "Go ahead and tell me. After you finish, I will immediately go to the palace to see my father."

Xie Zixin was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Shenggan Kingdom will go to war with us in seven years, and the Emperor will lead the army in person.

In the end, the emperor led his army to Liangzhou to fight a decisive battle with the army of Shenggan Kingdom. In the end, our Tianyuan Kingdom narrowly won the battle, and the emperor died due to serious injuries.

Then, you, the Second Prince, ascended the throne."

In fact, this was the biggest thing Xie Zixin knew. After the second prince ascended the throne, she became the queen of the central palace. Her father, Marquis Xuanping, also held a high position and power in the previous dynasty.

In order to reassure the Second Prince, she rarely asked about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

The Second Prince was so shocked that he couldn't even describe it. "Do you know what the consequences will be if you lie?"

Xie Zixin's eyes were filled with the ruthlessness of a last-ditch effort, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know this. I won't gamble with my future and that of my future son."

Second Prince: If this is true, I have to give Xie Zixin a child, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with things later. This concerns the safety of my father, so I'll just give it to her!

"You'd better not lie to me." The second prince said this and left without waiting for Xie Zixin to speak.

After leaving Xie Zixin's courtyard, the second prince went straight into the palace.

The second prince hurried all the way to the imperial study and went straight in.

The servants outside hurriedly stopped him, "Second Prince, the Emperor is reviewing memorials. Please wait until the servants go in and report before you come in."

The Second Prince took a deep breath and said, "Then go in and report! Hurry up, this prince has urgent business."

One of the people standing outside immediately ran inside.

The Second Prince felt that time was passing very slowly as he stood waiting outside. He unconsciously paced around the palace entrance.

The second prince felt that it took a long time before someone came out.

He immediately strode inside.

The Emperor had already put down the memorial and was leaning back on the throne, waiting for the Second Prince. After all, the person who came in to report said that the Second Prince had something urgent to see him about.

The emperor was curious about what could have caused the usually steady Second Prince to become so impulsive.

As soon as the second prince entered, he knelt in the center of the hall.

Upon seeing this, the emperor's already tired eyes widened a little, and he immediately waved his hand to let everyone in the hall leave.

When the emperor saw that the hall was deserted, he asked the Second Prince who was kneeling below, "Tell me, what happened? It's worthy of our Second Prince's firm kneeling. Otherwise, Chen'er, you stand up and speak first."

"Father, please let me kneel down. It's more comfortable to kneel down." The second prince said as he knelt a little further away, fearing that his father would get angry and throw something at him.

The emperor thought to himself that the second son had gotten into quite a bit of trouble this time, and he acted like an ordinary father facing his son who had gotten into trouble, "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, get out! I'm busy!"

"I just let your father take the blame for your concubine, so I can get away with it. Father..."

The second prince felt very guilty when he talked about this. After all, he was the first one to tell his father about Xie Zixin's abnormality.

The emperor was such a smart man. When he heard his son say this, he knew that Xie Zixin knew that they knew.

The emperor felt that it would be better for him to bear the blame. "Get up! This is not a big deal. This is all you can do."

The emperor originally thought that the second prince would jump up immediately after he said this. But the emperor saw his second son kneel down again.

The emperor rubbed his brows with a headache and said impatiently, "If you have anything else to say, tell me all at once."

"That's right. My concubine said that the Shenggan Kingdom would fight us seven years later. Then you led the army in person and fought against the Shenggan Kingdom's army in Liangzhou..."

The emperor noticed his son was speaking slowly, so he interrupted and asked, "What was the result?"

"Our Tianyuan Kingdom won a narrow victory, but in this battle you..." The second prince really didn't dare to say those two words, even though he had a good relationship with his father.

"Did he pass away?" The emperor was quite calm. There is always death in war.

Since he loved fighting, he had already made such preparations. His father and mother dared to die for this, so he dared too.

The emperor saw that his son's expression showed that he knew everything, so he stopped embarrassing him and asked again, "Who ascended the throne?"

The Second Prince felt that these two questions were more fatal than each other. He swallowed hard and said, "Yes, your son..."

After the Second Prince finished speaking, he fell to the ground. This was truly a huge injustice. He had never thought of letting his father die early so that he could take the throne.

But he couldn't help but say it. After all, he was not completely sure. He had control over the people his father had placed in Xie Zixin's courtyard. What if someone heard it and reported it to his father?

It would be better if he said it himself!

The emperor found it a little funny to see the second prince like this, "Get up! That's all the courage you have."

"Father, aren't you angry?" The second prince looked at the emperor with eyes full of admiration and curiosity.

Anyway, if he heard that he might die in a few years, he probably wouldn't be as calm as his father.

The emperor saw that his son's eyes were full of worry for him, and there was no joy in being overwhelmed by power. He was very satisfied:

"You are still too young. No one is immortal. The year your grandparents passed away, I thought I was going to die.

I am content that I have lived these many more years and governed the Tianyuan Kingdom well.

Even if the treasury is a little poor and the people suffer a little, at least everyone can live with their heads held high."

Seeing that his father really didn't care, the second prince stood up and sat down on the chair below his father.

The Second Prince also took the opportunity to express his feelings: "Father, I will be honest with you. The first thing I felt when I heard this was not joy, but fear. I never imagined that I would have to support millions of people so early in life."

The emperor personally stood up and walked over to pat the second prince on the shoulder, "Chen'er has grown up and can hold up the sky for millions of people."

The Second Prince instantly shook his head like a rattle. Even if he really could, he couldn't do it now.

"What does your concubine want to exchange for such important information?"

The emperor didn't think Xie Zixin would give him such important news for free.

Speaking of the Second Prince, she was quite helpless: "She wanted to have a son."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then made a decision immediately, "Thank you for your hard work, Chen'er."

As for my son, he can still be used at critical moments.
