"Although he has become a commoner and is free to go wherever he wants, I believe that with the eldest prince's personality, he will never be content to be just a commoner. He hates me to the core and will definitely try to take revenge. He also has a bigger goal, which is the future emperor's throne."
"I'm not afraid of him, but I don't like trouble."
Qiao Lian'er said, "I once had an enemy who also got away. At that time, most of the border defense garrison was mobilized, crossing mountains and valleys, searching countless large and small towns, but we still couldn't find him."
"Later I learned that when he arrived in the capital, our Qiao family also arrived in the capital. He targeted the Qiao family several times and had a powerful backer, much stronger than before. But what did it matter? In the end, he met his end by beheading."
Qiao Lian'er said calmly, "Some people will eventually get their retribution. It's just a matter of time. No matter why they escape, it's fate."
"And doesn't Your Highness think it's more interesting? Having someone secretly watching and waiting for an opportunity to act actually urges Your Highness to keep improving. It's like a driving force. When the time comes to compete, we'll see who comes out on top. That's what makes it exciting."
The prince's fighting spirit was ignited, his eyes sparkling with a sharp edge.
He was born a prince and the crown prince. Many of his brothers coveted his position. Even if he wasn't the eldest prince, there were other princes.
His strength and inviolability are the fundamental reasons.
He had some unresolved issues, but after talking with Qiao Lian'er, he felt enlightened and suddenly understood.
Before ascending the throne, he had to be constantly vigilant and constantly fight.
With the support of the noble families, this is his opportunity to rise to power. The eldest prince, on the other hand, has a bad reputation and has already lost the initiative in terms of public opinion, not to mention that he is a deposed prince.
The crown prince chuckled to himself, realizing he was worrying unnecessarily.
Qiao Lian'er hasn't told her family about the transfer to another unit yet.
It is not advisable to announce it before it is accomplished, and besides, moving the whole family is a major event.
But she believed that the Crown Prince was perfectly capable of handling this matter.
Three days later, Qiao Xier gave birth to a daughter, weighing seven pounds. She was fair-skinned and chubby, with a pair of big, bright black eyes like a pair of grapes, which was very endearing. She named her Mu Ranxi, which means the rising sun. The character "Xi" in her name is also a homophone of the character "Xi" in Qiao Xier's name.
Qiao Lian'er had already brought the two elders of the Qiao family over. The old lady Qiao held Ran Xi and smiled from ear to ear: "This is the eldest daughter of the Mu family, and also my great-granddaughter. We are so lucky."
Mu Xingyue thought about it carefully and said, "Then I will be Ran Xi's aunt."
“Yes, Xingyue is only eight years old and she’s already an aunt,” Qiao Zhizhi said with a smile.
Mu Xingyue herself still plays with a rattle drum. Every day she wears pigtails and shakes the rattle drum, making a thumping sound. As long as you hear the sound, you know it's her. She is very lively and cute.
She then placed the rattle drum in Mu Ranxi's arms: "Here, Ranxi, your aunt gave you her favorite toy as a birth gift. It's inlaid with jade, and the necklace on your wrist was made by me. Don't think it's ugly."
Mu Xinghe stayed by Qiao Xier's side and said to Mu Xingyue, "Brother will buy you another one."
Qiao Xi'er leaned against the headboard, looking weak and tired, but with a gentle and gratified expression. Her daughter had been born safely and was so healthy. Now, her heart was finally at peace.
She lost her first child, but managed to give birth to her second child safely.
Qiao Lian'er pondered that Mu Xinghe's surname was Mu after all, and her eldest sister had married into the Mu family and now had a child. Although there would always be a room and place for them to stay here, it would be a better long-term plan to set up a separate house and courtyard as their own home.
