Chapter 11: What a turn of events!

His dynasty will be overthrown, his daughter will not live long, and his son will also die?

At this moment, Lu Yanshi also wanted to follow Lu Li in cursing Tiandao.

What the hell is this? Why do they choose to cheat his family?

But he still controlled his emotions and did not let them show.

He couldn't be impatient, he had to take it step by step, and then look for clues from the little girl's thoughts. He would definitely be able to defend Daxia and protect his children.

"Well, then let's do as my beloved concubine said and place Heng'er in your care to raise him." Lu Yanshi agreed to her request.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Shuyi was so excited that he kowtowed to Lu Yanshi repeatedly.

Lu Heng was surprised and happy.

So he could be Xia Zhaoyi's son again? And openly call her mother?

"Thank you, father." He finally smiled.

After watching the whole show, Lu Li yelled a few times, indicating that she was hungry.

The wet nurse quickly took her away to feed her, and Lu Yanshi also left.

Xia Shuyi hugged Lu Heng for a long time to comfort him.

This was the first time in all these years that the mother and son were so close to each other. Both Xia Shuyi and Lu Heng felt their noses sore.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Your mother will love you in the future." Xia Shuyi gently wiped away her son's tears.

"Mother, I will study hard, be filial to you, take care of my sister, and never act foolishly again." After this incident, Lu Heng also knew what was good for him.

"Good boy, good boy." Xia Shuyi was so moved by his words that tears streamed down her face.

The Weiyang Palace was extremely cozy, but the Changchun Palace was shrouded in darkness and oppression, and the palace ladies dared not even breathe hard.

The emperor had just issued an edict, not only returning the third prince to Xia Zhaoyi for upbringing, but also demoting Xie Zhaoyi's position.

Because she failed to take good care of the third prince, Xie Zhaoyi has now become Xie Jieyu.

It's really a changing world.

Half a month ago, Xie Ruizhu was still the noble concubine Xie, second only to the emperor. After all, the empress died, the emperor never appointed a new empress, and the empress dowager was resting and recuperating in the royal temple.

If nothing happened to the Xie family and she hadn't confronted Xia Shuyi, she would probably still be the one in control of the harem.

Unfortunately, now everything is gone.

Xie Ruizhu was devastated to the point of having only her last breath left. She never dared to do anything stupid again.

"The Emperor has such a cruel heart..."

"When we first met, he praised me for my youthful radiance and my graceful demeanor. But now, I am so sick, and he refuses to even see me."

Tears rolled down her face and she was in deep pain.

Hemerocallis didn't know how to comfort her, so she lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Mother, why did father demote you?" Lu Yan pushed the door open with a bang and rushed in.

Lu Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

When his mother was a noble concubine, the servants served him wholeheartedly. But now that his mother has become a concubine, those servants who flatter the powerful and bully the weak have become perfunctory towards him.

"It's all Xia Shuyi's fault." When Xie Ruizhu mentioned this, a blush appeared on her originally weak and pale face.

"Before she gave birth to that evil creature, the emperor was very fond of me. After the evil creature was born, the emperor changed."

The more Xie Ruizhu talked, the more she felt that this was the case.

Especially when she thought of the strange thunder and heavy rain that day, she shuddered unconsciously.

"Monster, she is a monster."

She muttered to herself, her body quickly heated up and she had a high fever.

Xuancao rushed out and asked someone to call the imperial physician.

Lu Yan was startled when he heard the monster his mother was talking about, and reacted after a moment.

The mother was talking about the newly born ninth princess.

The incident of the heavy rain was so bizarre that Xie Ruizhu felt ashamed and forbad others to mention it.

So Lu Yan didn't know about this.

He thought about it carefully. He used to be able to see his father several times a month, but since the ninth princess was born, he could not see his father anymore.

He had previously sent people to inquire about this, and found out that his father would go to Weiyang Palace at least once a day, and would carry the Ninth Princess every time.

Everyone knows that the Ninth Princess has become the most favored person in the harem.

"Damn it." He slammed the bed in anger.

Lu Yan looked at his unconscious mother and held her hand tightly.

"Mother, don't worry. I will take back everything that belongs to us. I won't let the mother and daughter be so arrogant for too long. Wait for me."

"Second Prince, the imperial physician is here." Xuancao hurriedly brought the person in.

"Well, take good care of mother." Lu Yan turned and left.

He returned to his chambers, wondering what to do next.

He decided to kill Lu Li. Once Lu Li died, all the problems would be solved.

Xia Shuyi would be unable to show favor to his father because of his daughter's death, so he would do his best to play the role of a good son and comfort his father.

By then, his father's attention will definitely return to him.

So he went to Yu's study.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince requests an audience."

Lu Yanshi stopped writing and temporarily stopped reviewing memorials.

"Let him in."

When Lu Yan saw him, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, I am here to see you, Father."

Lu Yanshi said calmly: "Why do you want to perform such a grand ceremony?"

"I am here to apologize for my crime." Lu Yan's eyes were red.

"Oh, what crime have you committed?" Lu Yanshi became interested.

"If I hadn't complained to mother all the time about how tiring it was to study, mother wouldn't have treated my third brother like that. I don't want my third brother to have to memorize endless books every day like me. I want him to have the happiness that I didn't get."

"Mother treated my third brother like that because she listened to me."

"Besides that, mother has never treated third brother badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It was only a few days ago that she became ill and punished third brother. Mother didn't do it on purpose."

With tears in her eyes, Lu Yan recounted the difficulties Xie Ruizhu had gone through.

"Do you really think so?" Lu Yanshi stared at him.

"Yes, to make up for my mistake, from today on, I will go to Weiyang Palace to pick up my third brother to go to school. If my third brother doesn't understand what the tutor teaches, I will explain it to him word by word." Lu Yan's face was full of sincerity.

"Well, your third brother is young and likes to play. As his elder brother, you should really teach him to study hard." Lu Yanshi nodded.

As a father, no one wants his children to turn against him.

Brothers being friendly and respectful to each other is the scene he wants to see most.

"Thank you for your teachings, father. I will now take my leave." Lu Yan bowed respectfully and left.

With his father's order, he could go to the Weiyang Palace openly.

The next step is to find the right opportunity to kill Lu Li.

That's not his sister, that's a monster.

The next morning, Lu Yan arrived at the Weiyang Palace early.

"Please tell Xia Zhaoyi that my father asked me to pick up my third brother to go to school." He spoke in a gentle and polite manner.

"The Third Prince is still washing, please come this way, Second Prince." Lu Wei didn't dare to let him just stand there stupidly, so she took him to the main hall and asked him to sit down.

"Third brother is still washing up, but where is ninth sister? Is she awake? I have never seen her before, can I see her?" Lu Yan smiled slightly.
