Chapter 20 The Princess and the Bloodthirsty King
Zhang Baihai sat paralyzed on the ground.
Yes, they have been walking on the glamorous path for too long and have forgotten their humble origins.
Stupid thing, he did a stupid thing.
This stupid thing might drag down his sister and the entire Zhang family!
Zhang Baihai regretted it deeply.
At this time, the Imperial Guard reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Yuanshan is outside the palace asking for an audience!"
Yuwen Yuan didn't want to listen to the Zhang family's pleas: "No."
The Imperial Guards said, "If Your Majesty does not wish to see Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang has something else for me to report back to Your Majesty."
"say."
"What Zhang Baihai did was disloyal and disrespectful, and it is a shame for the Zhang family. Your Majesty, please make a fair and clear judgment and remove him from the Zhang family tree from now on, and have no further connection with him."
Cha Jiu was surprised.
I originally thought that the Zhang family came to rescue people, but I didn't expect them to quickly cut off their tails to protect themselves.
Zhang Baihai's heroic act of revenge for his father, brother and sister turned out to be a joke.
She looked at Zhang Baihai in the prison with sympathy. He had gone from being shocked to being incredulous, and then to going crazy, crying and laughing.
Yuwen Yuan was accustomed to the Zhang family's ruthlessness, so this did not seem surprising at all.
They cut off the tail so quickly that Yuwen Yuan had no chance to take advantage of the situation.
"Use all 250 punishments in the inner prison and throw the body back to the Zhang family's door."
The Chief of Prisons replied, “Yes.”
After being released from the inner prison, Yuwen Yuan's cold tone softened, and he was like a completely different person from before.
"Is it not frightening you?" he asked.
Cha Jiu shook her head: "I'm fine."
I have been with Yuwen Yuan for a long time, and I have seen all kinds of bloody scenes.
She's almost used to it.
Yuwen Yuan lowered his head again, his brows softened, and touched her belly: "Did you scare the child?"
Cha Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It doesn't even have eyes or ears, how could it be scared?"
"My child, the future wise ruler of Sheng Country, will naturally understand all principles of the world even before he is born." Yuwen Yuan said calmly, with a sense of matter-of-factness in his voice.
Cha Jiu was too lazy to argue with this son-loving man.
In Yuwen Yuan's eyes, everything about the baby in her belly was good.
However, Cha Jiu always had a vague worry in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you executed Zhang Baihai. Although the Zhang family severed ties with him, they are bound to harbor resentment. Will they..."
Cha Jiu didn't finish her words, after all, she was just guessing.
Yuwen Yuan knew what she had not said yet, and said in a deep voice: "The Zhang family only has two sons, both of whom were killed by me. They will not give up willingly."
"But I just want them to be desperate."
…
The Zhang family lost two children in succession. The family members were heartbroken, and the general's wife was in mourning at home, extremely sad.
When the head of the family, Zhang Yuanshan, came back from court and saw the whole family was filled with white people, his face turned cold on the spot.
"Tear down all these things. The royal family won't allow us to hold a funeral for our son. Are you looking for death?"
The general's wife cried out in agony: "He killed my two children, and now he can't even let me, as a mother, cry for a while?"
Zhang Yuanshan knew his wife was sad, but didn't he feel heartbroken?
However, as he had been planning for such a long time, he had to be more patient at this time and not let Yuwen Yuan catch him again.
"Come here, take down the things." Zhang Yuanshan was merciless, "Send a sign to the palace, I want to see the Queen Mother."
Inside the palace.
Princess Zhang had killed her own brother before she even knew it.
No one dared to tell her for fear of disturbing the baby in her womb.
Chuntang brought her some blood swallows, but happened to hear the palace maids chattering outside.
"I heard that the Qintian Observatory has determined that Concubine Zhao's pregnancy is a good omen. Your Majesty is extremely happy. When she gives birth to a prince, her status may even be raised. This person in our palace... Alas."
"The servants in Yongle Palace are rewarded every other day. It is so unlucky for us to be assigned to Chunxi Palace."
Chuntang scolded them: "Why are you talking so much? Why don't you just work hard?"
The maids dispersed in silence.
When the curtain was lifted, the imperial physician had just finished taking Princess Zhang's pulse.
Princess Zhang rolled down her folded sleeves and said casually, "Whoever was gossiping just now will be punished with two hundred strokes of the cane and thrown into a mass grave. Anyone who is still able to breathe will be thrown into a dry well in the cold palace."
Chuntang felt a chill down his spine and nodded in agreement.
The imperial physician packed up his things and shook his head slightly.
With so much killing, how can the fetus in the womb develop safely?
No wonder Princess Zhang was so frightened during her pregnancy.
After eating the bird's nest, Princess Zhang asked Chuntang to help her walk in the Yu Garden.
Unexpectedly, all he met were his mortal enemies.
It’s fine that Concubine Shu is a show-off who can’t have children, but Cha Jiu is sitting in the pavilion, leisurely watching the palace maids and eunuchs chasing butterflies under her.
"Where is it? Xiao Suizi, please move over there carefully!"
"Hey, Miss Wanxing, don't give orders blindly."
Several people tiptoed towards the butterfly and pounced on it together.
As a result, Butterfly didn't fall down, but several people bumped into each other and fell flat on their faces.
Cha Jiu was so amused that he laughed so hard. His clear and lively laughter sounded very irritating to Zhang Fei.
Concubine Shu saw her from a distance and said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Concubine Zhang who is staying in Chunxi Palace and dares not come out to see people?"
Cha Jiu kept smiling, glanced at her and then turned away.
As if she was an insignificant little thing.
This is more humiliating than Concubine Shu's provocation.
Princess Zhang clenched her handkerchief.
After a while, she calmed down and deliberately stroked her six-month-old belly, saying lovingly: "I dare not walk out of the palace casually while carrying your Majesty's eldest son. There are many people with ulterior motives in the harem."
She mentioned the eldest son deliberately just to annoy Cha Jiu.
Cha Jiu pretended not to hear.
Pregnant with an unknown man's child, Cha Jiu didn't know what she was crazy about.
Concubine Shu snorted coldly and turned her head away, unable to bear to see her arrogant look.
However, it was Concubine De beside her who discovered some clues.
"In terms of months, Concubine Zhao's child should be younger, but why does Concubine Zhao's belly look bigger?" Concubine De was a little surprised.
Princess Zhang's mind suddenly changed.
She had been pregnant before and knew of pregnant women who ate too much, causing the fetus to be too large and eventually die during childbirth.
She wished that Cha Jiu was like this.
But Cha Jiu said calmly, "Oh, the doctor said that my belly is big because I am pregnant with twins."
