"It's the Queen."

"It was the Queen who ordered me to give the Crown Princess a drug that would induce abortion."

"If you don't do this, the Queen will kill my whole family..."

"Please spare my life, Your Majesty..."

The woman confessed everything under torture. The emperor glared at the queen and picked up the wine glass on the table and smashed it at the queen.

"Poisonous woman!"

"I am innocent!" The queen fell to her knees with her hair in disarray.

At this time, Zhao Heng stood up and sneered, "Unfair? I was poisoned by a man who would kill his descendants, how come your dowry nanny knew the recipe?"

In order to save the lives of her offspring, the nanny beside the queen confessed everything.

"Your Majesty, please understand!" The Queen seemed to have her tail stepped on and crawled to the Emperor's feet in panic.

"They were clearly bribed by the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess has long disliked me and deliberately framed me..."

"Besides, she wasn't poisoned at all, so how do you know that I wanted to harm her?"

"You evil woman, you're still quibbling!" The emperor threw the file of evidence in the queen's face, which recorded the "good things" done by the queen and her family.

He was so angry that his dragon robe was shaking, "Pass the order!"

"Cui's crime of plotting to murder the heir to the throne is unforgivable. I will give him poisoned wine!"

He turned to look at Zhao Qiyu, who looked ashen, with even more disgust, "The fourth prince Zhao Qiyu is vicious and cruel to his brother. He is not worthy of being a prince. From today on, he will be demoted to a commoner and expelled from the palace!"

The queen kowtowed "bang bang bang", tears streaming down her face, still struggling in her deathbed.

"I was bewitched and deserved to die, but Qi Yu is your son, please forgive him. This has nothing to do with him."

"shut up!"

"Drag them all out!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he fell to the ground in a trance, and chaos broke out again.

Shen Shuyi and Zhao Heng returned to the East Palace after they confirmed that the emperor's condition had stabilized. On the way back, Zhao Heng held her hand tightly, fearing that she would have an accident.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine." She leaned into Zhao Heng's arms.

The icy cold in Zhao Heng's eyes began to melt when he heard her voice, and there was a hint of fear in his tone.

"If you are not found, if you are poisoned..."

"Don't worry, even if you're poisoned, I can cure it."

"I don't want you to be in any danger." Zhao Heng held her tightly, "Not at all."

Shen Shuyi felt fortunate that she had not tried the poison on herself. Perhaps she could trust him more and believe that he could solve the problem.

I believe he can protect his wife and children.

At the same time, Zhao Qiyu, who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes, was escorted out by the guards.

Before leaving the palace, Zhao Qiyu saw Zhao Heng and Shen Shuyi. He struggled desperately to break free and rushed towards Zhao Heng, but before he reached Zhao Heng, He Ya's sword cut his tendons and he fell to the ground.

“Why?”

"Why are you the prince, while I can only look up to you forever?" Zhao Qiyu screamed and asked the question that had tormented him for a long time through gritted teeth.

He murmured to himself, "I was really excited to hear that you were poisoned and had no descendants. I thought this was my chance."

"But in the end, I'm just a clown."

Zhao Heng's calm gaze fell on him, "You reap what you sow, you can't blame others."

"Take him away."

Shen Shuyi glanced at him indifferently. A proud and arrogant person like Zhao Qiyu would not survive long if he fell from a high place, even if he was not killed. It would be worse than death.

[Host, now the original owner's last wish has been fulfilled.]

Shen Shuyi asked, "How is Shen Qingyi doing?"

[He was killed by someone sent by the Queen right after he left Chang'an City. How could the Queen let Shen Qingyi harass her own son?]

Shen Shuyi said nothing, and returned to the East Palace with Zhao Heng to have the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Neither of them ate at the palace banquet. When they returned to the East Palace, they just wanted to have a quiet meal together.

There were small red lanterns hanging all over the East Palace, making it look extremely festive.

When Shen Shuyi was having a meal, she looked up and saw the handsome man opposite her picking up food for her.

Zhao Heng felt her gaze, looked up at her, chuckled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shuyi shook his head.

Zhao Heng saw a strand of hair scattered on her temple. He raised his hand to tuck it behind her ear and his fingers touched his wife's soft cheek.

At night, the two of them slept in each other's arms, Shen Shuyi leaned on Zhao Heng's broad and warm chest, with his warm big hand gently hugging her waist.

In the depths of winter, it is nice to have a heater in bed.

Zhao Heng was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable in her stomach, so he just leaned against her gently, with his thin lips touching her hair, his eyes full of love and tenderness.

The person in his arms moved, but she was not asleep yet. Zhao Heng kissed the top of her head and said softly, "Shuyi, you love me, right?"

"You will never leave me..."

Shen Shuyi didn’t know why he suddenly lost his sense of security, so he had to hold his face and said seriously: “Of course, Zhao Yanzhi, I came here for you.”

When Zhao Heng heard these words, he was more delighted than when he became the crown prince.

"Yiyi, I love you." Zhao Heng lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Under the candlelight, the man's face was as white as jade. He stroked her long hair gently. His voice suddenly became hoarse. He leaned close to her and asked, "Shuyi, can't you sleep?"

"Let me help you, so you can fall asleep when you are tired."

Facing his meaningful gaze, Shen Shuyi's face became hot, and soon the heat spread throughout his body.

Zhao Heng was very restrained and gentle. His slender fingers lingered under her skirt, bewitching the beauty in his arms.

"Relax, I know my limits..." This is his beloved Crown Princess, and she is pregnant with his child. How could he not be gentle and restrained?
