"Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself." Defei was also very angry. During all these years in the harem, she had always gotten along very well with Princess Changping.

Especially during the time when she was banished to the cold palace, Princess Changping often visited her.

"I am not only angry about Shangguan Ze interfering in the imperial examinations, you also heard what the maid said today. Shangguan Ze actually had a concubine and a child outside without Changping's knowledge!"

"I know that as a brother, it is natural for Your Majesty to care about Princess Changping, but this matter still depends on Princess Changping's opinion."

The emperor could imprison Shangguan Ze in the officialdom, but they could not interfere with the matter of him keeping a concubine.

"You should teach Changping a lesson these few days." The tyrant said, "When choosing Shangguan Ze as your concubine, the Queen Mother and I disagreed, but Changping liked him and insisted on marrying him.

We did as she wished, and these past few years, our life has been pretty good except that we have no children.

I just didn’t expect Shangguan Ze to do such a thing.”

[The scumbag dad is really angry this time]

[The bad father loves his aunt]

[Aunt Kesu is a love idiot]

[If you don’t stay away from bad guys, you will suffer big losses! ]

The Tyrant:?

This scumbag is even having a mistress and having a child. Isn’t this a big enough loss?

Is there a bigger one?

[Alas, in the near future, the scumbag will bring his concubine's child into the princess's mansion]

what?

The big tyrant couldn't sit still anymore!

How dare Shangguan Ze do that!

Concubine De lowered her head, looking shocked.

[The mistress teamed up with the scumbag to deceive the aunt, and the adopted son was an ungrateful wolf. In the end, the aunt was angered to death by the three of them]

[Love brain is so scary! Mom and dad are scumbags, please help your aunt, otherwise your aunt will be in trouble.]

"You are so tired of living!" the tyrant shouted angrily.

De Fei only thought that the tyrant was still immersed in what the maid said and had not recovered. "Your Majesty, calm down. We need to let Changping figure this out. If you deal with Shangguan Ze carelessly, and Princess Changping follows you to seek death, wouldn't that be even more heartbreaking?"

Tyrant: “…”

Given Changping's love-minded personality, this is very likely to happen.

The great tyrant rubbed his brows and said, "De Fei, keep an eye on Changping these days and persuade her well. Don't let her do anything stupid. It would be best if she could divorce Shangguan Ze."

For both public and private reasons, he wanted to kill Shangguan Ze!

…

Princess Mansion.

After the tyrant left, Changping found an excuse that he was tired and went back to his room alone.

Shangguan Ze felt so depressed that he left the house overnight.

Jinlou Alley.

Shangguan Ze sneaked into a house and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the soft crying of a woman inside.

"My dear, why are you crying?"

Xiao Liangliang wiped away tears, "My brother died yesterday, how could I not cry? My sister and I have been dependent on each other for so many years, and now my brother has died tragically, leaving me and my child alone as an orphan and a widow, and you accompany your noble princess every day, and no one takes care of us, how can I not cry?"

Shangguan Ze frowned and let out a breath in annoyance, "You cry today, but in a few days, it will be my turn to cry."

Xiao Liangliang was startled, "What?"

"Today, the Emperor and Consort De took the little princess to the Princess's Residence."

Xiao Liangliang was startled, "Emperor...Emperor?"

"He is investigating a case. You know why Ziran died tragically. He bumped into His Majesty who was visiting incognito on the street yesterday and got into trouble.

But I didn't know that Ziran actually revealed to His Majesty that he was the top scholar. Tell me, what Ziran did was really unkind. He even set a trap for me before he died."

Shangguan Ze was extremely irritated. Under normal circumstances, he would have gone up to Xiao Liangliang and licked his cheeks to wipe his tears.

He was worried today and didn't even bother to look at Xiao Liangliang.

Xiao Liangliang was also a little scared, "Did the emperor investigate you today?"

"Um."

"You are a prince consort. If you are in trouble, Princess Changping likes you so much. She will protect you no matter what, right?"

Shangguan Ze frowned angrily, "Don't mention it. I don't know what happened to Changping today. She actually took the initiative to ask the emperor to investigate me. I really wonder if she is confused."

"Could it be that she discovered you and I..."

Shangguan Ze shook his head, "Impossible! I did it very secretly. With Changping's temperament, she trusts me very much and there is absolutely no way she would suspect that I was looking for someone outside."

Xiao Liangliang breathed a sigh of relief.

Wiping tears with a handkerchief.

The baby on the bed was crying loudly. Xiao Liangliang couldn't help sobbing, "My poor child, your father doesn't love you, and your mother is incompetent. If something happens to your father and he doesn't care about us, what will we do?"

"Good Liangliang, my good son, even though the emperor has found me, I will be fine with Changping as my amulet."

"Then... when do you plan to take our son to the princess's residence?"

Shangguan Ze was extremely worried. "Let's wait a little longer until this storm is over."

"Haha, you said that a year ago when I was pregnant. Now a year has passed and our son is three months old. You still say that. It's obvious that you are trying to put us off.

Yes, I am not a princess, I don’t have the ability that others have, I can’t protect you if something happens to you, in this case, let’s break up, you go find your princess, from now on, mother and I will never appear in front of you again.”

"Liangliang, what are you talking about? You are my wife and he is my son, the only blood of my Shangguan family. How can I ignore you? But right now I still need Changping to help me solve the problem of the imperial examination. At this critical juncture..."

"After all, you are still afraid of Princess Changping. Didn't you say that Princess Changping trusts you very much? How could she let the emperor investigate you if she trusts you so much?"

"Who knows what's wrong with her?" Shangguan Ze got angry when he mentioned this. "I'll coax her well when I get home, and she'll definitely listen to me."

Xiao Liangliang rolled his eyes and continued to wipe his tears, "I do have a way that you can try."

"What method?"

Xiao Liangliang mysteriously took out a red toad from the drawer, which was shining all over. "I know someone who gave me this treasure, called the Soul-Bewitching Toad. She said that this thing can make people lose their mind. Aren't you worried that Princess Changping won't help you?

If you put this thing in her room, within two days she will do whatever you say.

Then, you can discuss with her and let her adopt your son."

Shangguan Ze took the blood toad and examined it carefully. "Is it really that magical?"

"We'll know if it works after trying it. It'll only take two days. My dear, you won't be soft-hearted and reluctant to treat Princess Changping like this, right? If so, I won't disturb your love with the princess. We'll just..."

Shangguan Ze gritted his teeth and said, "Why would I be reluctant to give her up? She is a princess outside, but to me, she is just a chicken that can't lay eggs."
