Chapter 328 It’s all my fault that my belly is not doing well
East Palace.
Tang Shihuan, lying on the bed, had a pale face and a dull look in her eyes.
She stared blankly at the tent ceiling...
Why is she a little princess?
Her support has fallen, and she has no one to rely on in the future...
Thinking of this, Tang Shihuan couldn't help but shed tears.
Cai Lian, who was serving beside her, saw this and gently advised: "Crown Princess, you just gave birth to the little princess and your body is still weak. You need to rest well..."
"Look, the little princess isn't crying or making a fuss. She's so well-behaved."
Tang Shihuan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned her head to look at the little princess lying beside her, and murmured, "What's the point of being well-behaved..."
Xiao Mocheng returned to the East Palace and went straight to Tang Shihuan's bedroom.
Before entering the bedroom, he adjusted his facial expression and forced a smile.
Xiao Shunzi pushed open the palace door and said with a happy face, "Your Highness, please go in and take a look!"
No matter what, this is a great event for the Eastern Palace, and we should be happy for His Highness.
Xiao Mocheng nodded and quickly walked into the bedroom.
When the wet nurse saw Xiao Mocheng enter the bedroom, she knelt and saluted, saying, "This servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Get up!"
Xiao Mocheng came to the bed with a smile on his face, held Tang Shihuan's hand and said, "Huan'er, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for giving birth to a little princess for me."
After Xiao Mocheng finished speaking, he let go of Tang Shihuan's hand and looked at the cradle little princess.
Tang Shihuan looked at the hypocritical Xiao Mocheng and complained inwardly: The more happy he appears on the surface, the more disgusted he is in his heart.
So, she pretended to blame herself and said, "It's all my fault that I didn't bear the first son for Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng softly comforted her, "Huan'er, the little princess is my first child, and I love her very much."
Just then, the baby in the cradle started crying.
Xiao Mocheng looked at the crying little princess and didn't know what to do for a moment.
The nurse took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the little princess must be hungry. Leave her to me!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng quickly stood up and moved aside.
Tang Shihuan was also somewhat bewildered. She said anxiously, "Nurse, quickly carry the little princess into the inner room to feed her."
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will take good care of the little princess." After the wet nurse said this, she carefully picked up the little princess and went to the inner room.
Xiao Mocheng coughed lightly and said to Tang Shihuan, "Huan'er, I still have some government affairs to attend to, so I won't accompany you. You should rest well."
Tang Shihuan curled her lips, "Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell."
After Xiao Mocheng turned around, he instructed Cai Lian who was standing on the side: "Take good care of the Crown Princess and tell the cook to make more nourishing soup."
"As you command."
"Your servant respectfully bids farewell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Cai Lian knelt down and kowtowed.
Xiao Mocheng strode out of the bedroom, and Xiao Shunzi followed closely.
Just as the master and servant walked a distance away, a dusty man in black came towards them.
Xiao Shunzi called out to Xiao Mocheng, "Your Highness, the people who went to Jizhou are back."
Xiao Mocheng stopped and said excitedly, "Let him come to the study to see me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Mocheng turned directly and went to the study.
He secretly thought: Father should have succeeded.
Very good, indirectly eliminating an opponent for yourself.
Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and whispered to the man in black, "His Highness is waiting for you in the study."
The man in black nodded solemnly and went straight to the study.
In the study.
The man in black knelt and saluted, saying, "This subordinate pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Get up!"
Xiao Mocheng couldn't wait to ask: "How's the situation in Jizhou? Did the emperor give Xiao Chengjin to..."
The man in black lowered his head with a complicated expression.
After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "In reply to Your Highness, the Emperor has failed."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng's face changed drastically and he stood up immediately.
"What did you say, Father failed?"
"So how is Father doing now?"
Seeing Xiao Mocheng's intense reaction, the man in black told him all the information he had obtained.
"After the Emperor arrived in Jizhou, he was poisoned... and was controlled by the Xiao couple."
"That phoenix belongs to the Xiao couple."
"Before I arrived, the Xiao couple and the Emperor had already left for the capital."
After hearing this, Xiao Mocheng muttered to himself, "What are they doing in the capital?"
Are you here to steal the throne?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mocheng suddenly panicked.
He thought to himself: I don't know what trump card Xiao Chengjin has yet...
The existence of the phoenix will make him even more powerful.
Xiao Mocheng paced back and forth in the study in annoyance.
This news disrupted all his plans.
The most important thing is that he currently does not have the strength to compete with the forces behind Xiao Chengjin.
"You can leave now!" Xiao Mocheng said, and returned to his seat.
"I'll take my leave."
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief the moment he turned around.
"Xiao Shunzi, come in." Xiao Mocheng shouted outside the door.
After Xiao Shunzi entered the study, he almost felt that Xiao Mocheng was in a bad mood.
He turned around, closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you in trouble?"
Xiao Mocheng rubbed his brows and said dejectedly, "Father failed in his attempt to go to Jizhou and has fallen into Xiao Chengjin's hands."
"This palace estimates that Xiao Chengjin is very likely to seize the throne when he returns this time."
"Tell me, how should I compete with Xiao Chengjin?"
.......
After hearing this, Xiao Shunzi quickly thought of a solution.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Shunzi spoke.
"Your Highness, I feel this matter has both good and bad sides."
"If Xiao Chengjin seizes power, the Emperor will mobilize troops from inside and outside the capital to fight him, and both sides may fight to the death..."
"While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. By then, Your Highness will take the opportunity to legitimately ascend to that position."
"So, let's just wait and see what happens."
After hearing what Xiao Shunzi said, Xiao Mocheng nodded in agreement.
What Xiao Shunzi said makes sense. He will wait until both his father's men and Xiao Chengjin's men are defeated before taking action.
By then, one battle will decide the outcome.
Haha, this is a great idea!
