"Chen'er, Chen'er!" Zhao Huan hugged the prince and cried bitterly in despair. He had always loved the prince very much.

Zhao Chen was kind and tolerant by nature, and all the ministers praised him highly. However, unexpectedly, the fate of the world would change, and Zhao Huan would die young.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Cao Dongsheng pushed the door open and was shocked to see Zhao Huan with a broken face, holding the prince and crying softly.

Cao Dongsheng whispered, "Your Majesty, the Queen refuses to give birth, saying she must see the Crown Prince."

Zhao Huan raised his head, feeling as helpless as a child: "Chen'er is gone."

Cao Dongsheng's eyes turned red. "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The Empress's situation is more urgent."

Zhao Huan came to Renming Hall and saw the queen moaning in pain on the bed, her lower body covered with a piece of red silk.

The midwife and the palace maid kept urging: "Push harder, Madam, push harder, Madam."

Zhu Lian saw Zhao Huan coming and turned around and asked, "Where is Chen'er?"

Zhao Huan stood there motionless without answering. Outside the hall, Sai Hua Tuo softly called out, "Your Majesty."

"Where's Chen'er!" Zhu Lian shouted.

Cao Dongsheng hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been taken to Yao Qisheng's home. He said he was there to express his gratitude to his mentor. Your Majesty, upon learning of this, hastily sent guards to notify him. The Crown Prince should be on his way."

"Really?" Zhu Lian asked.

Cao Dongsheng tugged at Zhao Huan, who nodded: "Yes, Chen'er is on his way."

Sai Huatuo bowed outside the hall and said, "My Lady, you need to use more strength."

Zhu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and began to push: "Why hasn't Chen'er come yet?"

Cao Dongsheng ordered the eunuch beside him: "Hurry up, didn't they just say that the prince has arrived at the city gate? Go and urge him to come, hurry up."

Zhu Lian grabbed the bed sheet with both hands, his forehead covered with sweat.

"Ah!" Zhu Lian used all his strength.

"It's out, it's out." The midwife was overjoyed.

"Wa~wa~!" A baby's cry woke Zhao Huan up.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince!" The midwife came over holding a baby in a yellow silk garment.

Zhao Huan's head buzzed, and he temporarily forgot the pain of losing his son. He took it with a happy face.

The baby's face was pink and tender, his little hands were struggling and kicking around, and he was crying loudly.

This is my own child, my dragon seed, the continuation of my life.

The moment Zhao Huan took the child, happiness, joy, maturity, responsibility, excitement, all kinds of feelings flooded his heart.

"Let me see." Zhu Lian said happily.

Zhao Huan came to Zhu Lian and said softly, "Look, his eyes and nose are so much like yours."

Zhu Lian hugged the child lovingly and looked at Zhao Huan, both of them were filled with joy.

"I think he looks more like Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please give him a name." Zhu Lian said with a smile.

Zhao Huan pondered for a moment and said, "As the sun rises and the dawn rises, let's call him Zhao Xin."

Zhu Lian was overjoyed: "Xin'er, Xin'er, I'll call you Xin'er from now on."

"Congratulations to His Majesty on the birth of his son!" Everyone knelt on the ground, with a look of joy on their faces.

Suddenly Zhu Lian suddenly remembered: "Where is Chen'er? Why hasn't Chen'er come yet?"

Zhao Huan hesitated to speak, and everyone looked at each other, realizing that they could no longer hide the truth.

Zhu Lian asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, where did Chen'er go?"

"Queen, please listen to me and I will tell you slowly. You must be mentally prepared. Chen'er..."

Concubine Mu rushed over and said, "Empress, Chen'er has passed away."

(Note: The death of an emperor is called "Bingtian" and the death of a prince is called "Hong".)

"You..." Zhao Huan pointed at Concubine Mu angrily.

"What!" Zhu Lian fainted from shock. Everyone was in chaos and started kneading and pinching the queen to wake her up.

"What happened to Chen'er? What happened?" Zhu Lian shouted at the top of his lungs.

Zhao Huan was filled with guilt: "Chen'er fell into the water while boating on the lake a few days ago and became seriously ill. You are pregnant, and I am worried about your health, so I have been hiding it from you."

"Give me back my Chen'er, give me back my Chen'er!" Zhu Lian woke up and grabbed Zhao Huan and cried loudly.

Everyone was shocked that the queen dared to attack the emperor, so they came over to try to stop the fight.

Everyone pulled the queen away. The mother and son had such a deep affection for each other that Zhu Lian didn't care whether he was the emperor or not. She pointed at Zhao Huan and burst into tears: "Why, why! Why didn't you let me see Chen'er for the last time. Why!"

Cao Dongsheng was so frightened that he knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed: "Empress, this is none of Your Majesty's business. It was me who took the initiative to deceive Your Majesty. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Cao Dongsheng shouted and slapped himself hard.

A woman, especially one in the harem, couldn't live in the same constant companionship as ordinary couples. Even if she was favored, it would only last a short time. Her only hope was her own children.

Zhao Chen was Zhu Lian's eldest son and the crown prince, who would inherit the throne in the future. Upon hearing the news of his beloved son's death, Zhu Lian was heartbroken and took out all his pain on Zhao Huan.

She dared to insult the emperor and was banished to the cold palace. The queen must be crazy.

"Empress! Empress!" The palace maid next to her was shocked and came to help.

Zhu Lian lay on the bed and pushed everyone away: "Zhao Huan, I hate you! I hate you!"

It was like a bolt from the blue that the queen actually said such words. I wonder how much injustice she must have suffered in her heart.

"Blood, blood! Oh no, the queen is bleeding!" The midwife shouted, and Zhu Lian's body was covered in blood.

Suddenly, Zhu Lian's hands went limp and he fainted again.

Zhao Huan was shocked again. He hurried over and hugged Zhu Lian in his arms. His hands were shaking and he didn't know what to do.
