Seeing the maid's hesitant expression, Cui Mixue asked her what had happened and asked her to speak quickly.
The next moment he heard shocking news.
"Seventh Prince's wife, you are pregnant."
What? Cui Mixue covered her stomach in disbelief, as if she had just misheard: "I'm pregnant?"
What kind of fate is this? Her husband just failed in his rebellion and was captured, and now she finds out that she is pregnant with his child.
"Yes, Princess Seventh Prince, you fainted just now because your body couldn't bear the overwork during this period. The imperial physician said that you must take good care of the fetus during this period, otherwise it is very likely..." said the maid.
This news made Cui Mixue's previous plan go down the drain.
"Prepare the car, I want to see Situ Zhao."
The carriage swayed and came to the outside of the prison.
No one stopped her, and Cui Mixue arrived at Situ Zhao's prison door without any pressure.
"Why are you here?" Situ Zhao was very surprised to see Cui Mixue.
Cui Mixue was also very surprised that Situ Zhao did not give her away. She thought that someone like Situ Zhao would not protect himself.
This is also the reason why she came to meet Situ Zhao.
If it were the Cui Mixue of the past, she would have saved her own life even if it meant giving up the baby in her belly. However, since Situ Zhao did this, Cui Mixue was also considering whether to leave a child for him.
"This matter has nothing to do with you anymore. Situ Yao will not let me go. I take all the blame. You have to live well." Situ Zhao was very depressed at this time.
Looking at him like this, Cui Mixue thought of the high-spirited him in his previous life.
I have to say that Cui Mixue felt a little guilty towards Situ Zhao. Things shouldn't have been like this.
Situ Zhao should be the one standing on the throne, full of vigor and vitality, directing the affairs of the world. Instead of being like this, he is now decadent in the prison, with no life in his eyes.
All of this was because of me. After I was reborn, I wanted to have that position, so I used him to cause this consequence.
Situ Zhao, who has always been selfish, can take all the blame for himself, so why can't I leave him a child?
At this moment, Cui Mixue's hesitation was answered.
"I am pregnant."
Just like Cui Mixue heard the news for the first time, Situ Zhao couldn't believe it and widened his eyes.
"You feel surprised too, right?" Cui Mixue smiled self-deprecatingly. This child came at a really bad time.
But now this child is his hope.
"Really?" Situ Zhao still looked incredulous. He never thought that he would learn the good news that he was going to be a father when he was about to die.
Cui Mixue nodded, and Situ Zhao's originally dull eyes brightened up for a moment, but became dull again the next second.
"Are you unhappy?" Cui Mixue said, "I will take good care of him."
Situ Zhao was suddenly surprised, as if he had not expected Cui Mixue to choose to give birth to the child.
He walked slowly towards Cui Mixue, and his big hand touched Cui Mixue's still flat belly through the prison door.
Here, his child is.
With a slight smile on his lips, Situ Zhao said, "What a pity."
Knowing what Situ Zhao was regretting, Cui Mixue just stood there quietly, watching Situ Zhao stroking her belly.
"Maybe this is retribution!" Situ Zhao suddenly said.
On the other hand, Su Mengyan, who received the news that Cui Mixue was pregnant, didn't know what to do!
Originally, she would never let Cui Mixue live. Even if Situ Zhao took all the blame, she would find a way to make Cui Mixue die with Situ Zhao.
But now, Cui Mixue is pregnant, what is the fault of the child?
There was no other way, Su Mengyan could only come to Situ Yao and ask him what he thought.
In the prison, Situ Zhao sat on a chair, looking at the man opposite him.
They were clearly born of the same father, but now he is a prisoner, while he has inherited the throne and become the supreme ruler.
There was a teapot on the small stove on the table, and the boiling water inside made a gurgling sound. Situ Yao picked up a bamboo tongs, turned out two cups, and poured tea into the cups.
A cup of emerald green tea was pushed in front of Situ Zhao: "You haven't tasted the tea brewed by me yet!" Situ Yao's voice rang out.
Situ Zhao smiled bitterly. Yes, when had he ever drunk tea brewed by Situ Yao? When he was the crown prince, he was the prince, so naturally he couldn't let him do things for him.
What's funny is that now he is the emperor, but he still has to ask him to make tea for himself.
Gently picking up the cup, Situ Zhao sipped the tea, seemingly not wanting to say anything.
Situ Yao put down his teacup. Now, he could finally make peace with Situ Zhao. He thought that he would mock Situ Zhao from a high position, but now, he was so calm.
"You should be very clear about the consequences of what you did!" Situ Yao asked.
Sure enough, it was because of this matter!
Situ Zhao changed his temper. During this period of time, he thought a lot and knew that he had done a lot of wrong things.
However, it was too late to regret what had already been done. Even if he cried bitterly and hugged Situ Yao's thighs and said that he was wrong, it would be of no use!
"I know, but I have a favor to ask of you." There was a light in Situ Zhao's eyes. He knew that he would die, and he only hoped to leave Cui Mixue a way out.
He was afraid that after his death, Cui Mixue would also be killed.
"Cui Mixue is innocent. As long as the emperor can spare her life, no matter how the emperor plans to deal with me, I will accept it."
After returning to the palace, Situ Yao came to Su Mengyan again, as if he always liked to come to Su Mengyan when something happened.
This time, Su Mengyan did not reject him. After learning about the conversation between the two brothers, Su Mengyan asked, "Have you thought about what to do?"
Now that Situ Yao is the emperor, I can only give suggestions on many things instead of influencing his thoughts.
"Well, I want to give him a quick death, so let's execute him later!" said Situ Yao.
If he were to be executed in the autumn, wouldn't that mean there wasn't much time left? However, looking at Situ Yao, Su Mengyan said, "No."
Although Su Mengyan didn't want to influence Situ Zhao's thoughts, she would still oppose it if Situ Yao did something inappropriate.
However, Su Mengyan's rejection made Situ Yao furious. "No? Why not? He had finally won, and now he couldn't even kill someone?"
He didn't know that Su Mengyan was also thinking about her. Su Mengyan felt that Situ Yao had just ascended the throne. If he killed Situ Zhao in this way, it would inevitably cause criticism from the people and the people's hearts would be easily lost.
