The woman I have loved for so many years turned out to be such a person.
How could I have fallen for such a fickle and lying woman in the first place?
Nan Shaotian laughed at himself.
And his good brother, it was a waste of his love for him. He knew that Xia Yuwei was his woman, but he not only did not avoid suspicion but also dared to have an affair with her, and even got her pregnant.
Now he is trying to seize the kingdom from him. He wants to see how he can take it away.
There was a surge of anger in Nan Shaotian's eyes.
"Yingyi, pass the order down to closely monitor Prince Jing's every move. Send someone from Hanxuan Palace to keep an eye on him. Report any developments immediately."
"Collect all the information about the Xia family. I want to see it in three days."
…
As the instructions were passed down, the wind direction of the entire Southern Kingdom was about to change. Unfortunately, no one knew about it except Bei Yutang.
The next day, when Jinchai reported to her that Nan Shaotian went to Hanxuan Palace, a strange expression appeared on her face.
If conditions allowed, she would have wanted to go and take a look.
Hanxuan Hall
When Xia Yuwei heard that Nan Shaotian was coming, she happily went to greet him.
"May the emperor be blessed." Xia Yuwei bowed gracefully.
"Get up."
Xia Yuwei ordered someone to bring some good tea, and walked up to him with a smile on her face. She touched her belly with one hand and said to Nan Shaotian, "Your Majesty, the prince is very naughty now, and he moves from time to time."
Nan Shaotian looked at her bulging belly with deep eyes, and there was a cold light in the depths of his eyes. He reached out and touched her belly, "You take good care of him."
Xia Yuwei didn't notice his abnormality and said excitedly, "When the prince is born, he will surely be as brave and skilled in battle as the emperor."
As she excitedly spoke of the prince, she had no idea that Nan Shaotian wished he could crush the child in her belly. His existence was a disgrace to him.
He always thought that she was a kind and pure woman, but listening to her lies, all the beauty he once had was shattered, and all he was left with was shame.
"Yuwei." Nan Shaotian suddenly interrupted her.
Xia Yuwei looked at him in confusion, "Shao Tian, what's wrong?"
Nan Shaotian's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on her. Xia Yuwei felt a little uneasy because of his serious look.
"Yuwei, answer me a question."
Xia Yuwei thought he was going to say something, but it turned out to be a question. She felt relieved and asked with a smile, "What's the question?"
"Do you love me?" Nan Shaotian stared at her without blinking.
Xia Yuwei was stunned, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she quickly smiled and said, "Love. I only love you in this life."
Nan Shaotian smiled.
Xia Yuwei was a little confused by his sudden smile. If he was happy, she should be happy too, but why did she always feel that something was wrong?
He had also asked this question to another person before, and what did she say then...
When Nan Shaotian thought of how she looked at that time, he felt a slight pain in his heart.
He finally realized that he was wrong, he recognized the wrong person, and he loved the wrong person.
"Have a good rest, I'll come to see you another day." Nan Shaotian left after leaving these words.
But he didn't wait for the day he mentioned, but waited for something else.
Someone in the court implicated Xia Yuwei's father, listing thirty-six crimes with irrefutable evidence. The Southern Emperor, enraged, stripped him of his official title and imprisoned his entire family.
When Xia Yuwei got the news, she was completely stunned.
"I wish to see the Emperor."
