Pei Shutong immediately understood the prince's intention, but she was not heartbroken because she was not the emperor's child.
If the prince really seizes the throne from His Majesty, she will find a way to save His Majesty and raise him in another courtyard. In the future, the father of the baby in her belly can only be His Majesty, and she only wants to have a child with His Majesty.
If it is a boy, she will let her and His Majesty's child ascend to the throne of King Xuan, and Xuan Zhao will still be His Majesty's descendant.
As for Yan Yuning and His Majesty's son, Pei Shutong curled her lips slightly. She would find a husband for Yan Yuning and let His Majesty see their love. As for the child, she would...
"Tongtong? Tongtong?"
The prince frowned. Why did he feel that she was very excited?
Pei Shutong came to her senses, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, "Prince, what do you mean?"
"Tongtong, I will compensate you, just be good." The prince said impatiently.
Pei Shutong nodded aggrievedly, "What can I do to help the prince?"
"In two days, His Majesty will hold a banquet for Empress Xuan in the palace. The ministers and their wives will definitely be invited. According to the rules, you cannot go as a concubine, but I will find a way to take you there."
The prince took a medicine bag from under the quilt and placed it in Pei Shutong's palm, "Tongtong, find a way to give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then fall down in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Even if the truth is revealed, he can still distance himself from the matter. At that time, he will insist that he knows nothing, that he is innocent, and that it was Pei Shutong who did it alone.
After all, Pei Shutong almost became His Majesty's concubine.
Isn't it normal to hold a grudge against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
He also lost a child, how could the emperor blame him?
At most he would be punished, and the means would certainly be harsh. He would be implicated innocently, his legs would be crippled, and this would also give him a legitimate reason to seize the throne.
"Okay, Shutong is willing to work for the prince." Pei Shutong's eyes were red, and she clenched the medicine bag in her palm.
"Your Highness, the apology letter has been written. Please take a look and see if there is anything wrong. I will revise it later." The guard respectfully bent down and handed over the written apology letter.
The prince gritted his teeth and said, "No, just carry me into the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Highness, the Emperor has gone too far." Pei Shutong stamped her feet and looked at the Prince with eyes full of heartache.
The prince curled his lips and said, "I will take revenge."
Pei Shutong rolled her eyes in her heart, and said softly, "Well, the prince will get his revenge as he wishes."
The prince smiled grimly. He knew that sooner or later he would make the old emperor kneel down at his feet and beg for mercy.
——
Xuanwang Palace-Taiyi Hall.
Xuan Yanyu carefully observed Yan Yuning's expression. For some reason, she started to ignore him ever since he held her in his arms and took a bath last night.
"Change it." Yan Yuning said calmly.
"Okay." The man obediently put down the cherry meat he had just picked up and handed the golden and translucent braised shark fin to Yan Yuning's mouth.
Yan Yuning lowered her eyes and turned the teacup. She didn't even look at what dish Xuan Yanyu was eating, and said, "If you don't like it, change it."
The maidservants in the palace shrank their necks in fear, not daring to make a sound.
"Okay." The man showed no impatience. He picked Yan Yuning's favorite dish and asked tentatively, "Ningning, try this and see if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll have the imperial kitchen make it again."
Yan Yu Ning ignored him and looked at Ye An behind him and asked, "When does Xiao Xiao finish his morning class?"
Ye An cleared his throat and said sensibly, "Empress Xuan, I don't know. You should ask His Majesty."
