Chapter 239
04
Just when many ministers were convinced by the second prince's mother, Ah Zhu stood up herself and said that she was adopted.
In fact, she had known her own life experience a long time ago. At first, she was just curious as to why she looked nothing like her fathers. Later, when she went to school, although she was a princess, others did not dare to say anything to her in front of her, but they talked about her behind her back. There were several classmates in the school who came from her hometown. They knew Ah Zhu's life experience, and although they did not spread it, several fellow villagers gathered together to talk about it in private, and Ah Zhu happened to hear it.
Although Ah Zhu was sad for a while, she was more grateful for the love her fathers and brothers had for her. This time, when she saw someone trying to stop her brother from ascending the throne, she quickly stood up.
Soon her background was confirmed, the time, place, witnesses and even her biological parents were found out. Now the second prince's mother had nothing to say.
The second prince also advised the queen privately, "I regard Cheng Yeran as a brother, and Ah Zhu is still a child. How can I ask Ah Zhu to marry me? I can't do such a thing."
"Their family has already fought for your throne, and you are still treating him as a brother. Why did I raise such a useless son like you?"
The second prince couldn't help but sigh, "Mother, haven't you seen the situation clearly at this time? When I returned to the capital, I took the initiative to ask Cheng Yeran to ascend the throne, saying that he loved the people like his own children. Only when he sat on this position could the world be stable and the people live a good life. But I also did it for you, mother. Whether he is a god or not, the throne has been taken away by him. He not only took away the throne, but also took away the people's hearts. If someone else took away the throne, would there be a way for us mother and son to survive? But he gave us a way to survive. As soon as I came back, I heard that you were still alive. For this reason, I also had to take the initiative to ask him to ascend the throne and let him see my attitude.
When the second prince's mother heard him say this, it seemed as if half of her strength was drained from her body, and she sat down on the chair. At this moment, she seemed to have just come to her senses and realized that the throne had nothing to do with them anymore.
She thought about it from another perspective. If the Second Prince ascended the throne, the first people she would kill would be Cheng Zhao and Cheng Yeran's relatives. He would even kill the Fifth Prince as well, but Cheng Yeran spared their lives. Although Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang were no longer in this world, the weapons they left behind were still in Cheng Zhao's hands. If she made trouble again in the future, she and the Second Prince would probably lose their lives.
She took the Second Prince's hand and patted it, "From now on, mother will live a peaceful life and will never cause trouble for you again."
Cheng Zhao's coronation ceremony went very smoothly, and he also arranged a marriage with the fifth prince. Now they are both sixteen years old and have agreed to get married in four years.
The fifth prince is the future queen, so naturally he cannot live in his previous house. Cheng Yeran arranged a palace for him, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were also arranged according to the standards of the queen.
His clothing, food, travel and other aspects have all been greatly improved. He doesn't care about the clothes and daily necessities. What makes him happiest is that all kinds of delicious food are delivered to him every day. He used to be hungry, but now when he sees his favorite meals and snacks, he can't help but eat more, as if he is afraid that after eating this meal, there will be no food for the next one.
Until one day, his face became rounder due to overeating, and the nanny who took care of him could not help but say to him, "You must stop eating so much without restraint. If you get fatter, what will happen if you lose the favor of His Majesty?"
The fifth prince thought to himself that His Majesty never liked him, but before he could say it out loud, he suddenly thought of the second prince's mother. She was also a queen before, and she was so glorious at that time, but once she lost the emperor's favor, she was banished to the cold palace, and her life was not much better than when he was a child.
Thinking of the days of hunger and cold, the Fifth Prince became afraid. He had to quickly give Cheng Zhao a child. Only with a child would he be safe. Otherwise, when Cheng Zhao fell in love with someone in the future, given Cheng Zhao's character, he would definitely pave the way for the person he loved, drive him away, and let the person he loved become the queen. Then, he would become that poor little thing who was hungry and cold again.
No, the queen also had the second prince, but he was still sent to the cold palace. He not only had to give birth to a child, but also had to win Cheng Zhao's love and keep the other party in love with him.
The fifth prince put down his beloved snacks, he decided to lose weight, and find a way to seduce Cheng Zhao and win his heart.
