Upon hearing the word witch boy, everyone present changed their expressions.
The queen looked at Wei Yuande with a livid face, "What happened?"
Since the prince pointed at the newborn baby and shouted "Witch Boy", it goes without saying that what was written in the letter was definitely not good news.
Wei Yuande's face was ashen, as if he had received a huge blow, and his wide eyes were full of disbelief.
As if he didn't hear the Queen's words, he kept mumbling to himself.
"It's impossible, it's impossible. I don't believe in any strange power or chaos ordained by God. It must be a rumor deliberately spread by the Night King, cunning and treacherous~~'
Seeing that the prince was so rude, Queen Zhou couldn't help but become anxious, and hurriedly took the letter from Wei Yuande's hand and read it.
She whispered out loud.
"'Hellfire' erupted in Tongzhou, and millions of soldiers were besieged by 'Hellfire'. Niu Zhi led all the soldiers to surrender to the Night King in accordance with God's instructions. It was rumored that the Night King was the 'right man'."
Empress Zhou looked at the letter, her face turned from white to red, then from red to green, and finally her eyes went black and she fainted.
"Mother, queen?" Seeing that Queen Zhou couldn't bear the blow and passed away, Wei Yuande rushed forward in panic, "Imperial physician, imperial physician?"
When the queen came to Zhaoshu Palace, she took the imperial doctor with her in case of emergency. Now it came in handy. The imperial doctor rushed over to give the queen acupuncture, and the entire Zhaoshu Palace fell into chaos.
Wei Xuanyuan, who was dressed as the chamberlain's father-in-law, stood aside with his head raised and couldn't help gritting his teeth.
Wei Yuande was defeated! Nearly one million soldiers surrendered to the Night King. As a result, the Night King had 60% of the army of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Fortunately! Fortunately, the other 40% of the troops are in our own hands, so it’s not like we can’t compete with the Night King!
So he has too much to do right now.
Thinking of this, Wei Xuanyuan turned his attention to the baby in Xia Luoluo's hands, leaned towards her, and took advantage of the chaos to whisper in her ear, "Princess, this child is a "witch boy," send someone to deal with it quickly."
'
"No, he is not a witch boy, he is my child." Charlotte shook her head vigorously and staggered back into the palace.
Wei Xuanyuan chased after him.
"Bad news comes one after another as soon as this child is born. What is it if it's not a 'witch boy'?'
He is the biological father of this 'witch boy'. This 'witch boy' will definitely bring disaster to him and prevent him from ascending to that big position, so he must take this opportunity to get rid of the child as soon as possible.
"The Great Zhou Kingdom has no doubts about the witch boy. Even if I let him go, the queen and the prince will not let him go." Wei Xuanyuan said, reaching out to Xia Luoluo, "Be obedient and give the child to me."
"
Xia Luoluo's face was full of pain. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Wei Xuanyuan and begged, "This child has our blood flowing on him. Otherwise, let's hand him over to Grandma Wang and take him out of the palace for disposal, okay?"
?
Wei Xuanyuan shook his head, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "No, execution is the safest option." As he spoke, he approached Xia Luoluo step by step.
"Princess, please give that child to me." It was the voice of Queen Zhou. Queen Zhou was weak and filled with unspeakable despair. "One of the pair of male fetuses must be a 'witch boy.' Sure enough, there is no way to escape."
That curse~~Leave the witch boy to me to deal with."
Xia Luoluo looked helpless. After a while, he handed the baby in Queen Zhou's hands and said sadly, "Please mother, please spare his life and send him out of the palace."
"I know how to deal with it, Crown Princess, don't worry." Queen Zhou handed the child to Aunt Zhao and quickly left Zhaoshu Palace.
The prince also left in a hurry. One million troops had taken refuge under the Night King. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he went to consult with the ministers.
Zhaoshu Palace returned to peace again.
"Take the royal grandson with you." Wei Xuanyuan told Xia Luoluo, "I need to leave the palace."
Xia Luoluo eagerly held Wei Xuanyuan back.
"Wei Yuande was defeated, and the Night King's troops increased to more than one million in vain. What are your plans now?"
"Don't worry, the soldiers in my hand are not much less than his." Wei Xuanyuan was quite calm, "You can rest assured in Zhaoshu Palace and take care of your legitimate grandson. It won't be long before our son can ascend to that position."
Xia Luoluo was silent. Listening to Wei Xuanyuan's words, the emperor and the prince probably wouldn't live for a few more days.
When they die, won't he be able to ascend the throne with his legitimate grandson in his arms? Won't the world of the Zhou Dynasty be in their hands?
She believed that Wei Xuanyuan would be able to defeat the Night King, and then she would ask Wei Xuanyuan to capture the Night King and Mu Xiaoyou alive and hand them over to her!
A satisfied smile appeared on Xia Luoluo's lips, "Don't worry, you can make arrangements. This princess will definitely take good care of her grandson."
Looking at the little dumpling lying in the nurse's arms, sipping milk, Charlotte thought again of the child taken away by the queen, and her smile couldn't help but dim.
In Changning Hall, Emperor Qi Heng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was thin and pale, as if he was asleep.
"What should I do, Sister Jiang?" A Qin looked at Emperor Qi Heng and was worried, "I can't find the mother Gu for so long. I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to hold on anymore.'
Shadow also came over and whispered, "Today I got news that the prince was completely defeated and all the soldiers surrendered to the Night King. Will Wei Xuanyuan attack the emperor in advance if this continues?"
"It's very possible." Jiang Yuyu looked at the emperor on the bed and was also worried. After thinking for a while, he suddenly blinked and looked at Aqin, "This is not the way to go. Aqin, don't you know the art of disguise? How about this."
As Jiang Yuyu said this, he called Aqin and Shadow over, and the three of them whispered.
"I think it's feasible." Ah Qin's eyes sparkled.
"I agree too." Shadow also nodded.
"Then let's do it this way." Jiang Yuyu decided.
In the Jade Phoenix Hall, Queen Zhou returned to the hall with her heart trembling, and could not sit still.
"Mother, what should I do with this baby?" Grandma Liu stepped forward and asked, holding the child brought from Zhaoshu Palace.
"Find a remote well and throw it in." Queen Zhou glanced at the child and replied impatiently.
Originally, she had planned to send someone out of the palace and throw him away far away, leaving him free to perish. However, the prince was defeated as soon as this disaster was born, and not killing him was not enough to calm the anger in her chest.
Grandma Liu took the order and went out with the child in her arms.
"Let's go to the Changning Hall to see the Emperor." Queen Zhou drank half a cup of tea in the Yufeng Hall and couldn't sit still any longer, so she led people to the Changning Hall.
She was originally very happy that the emperor was ill and the prince was supervising the country, but now that something big happened, she suddenly felt that there was no one to discuss it with, and she couldn't help but miss the kindness of Emperor Qi Heng.
On the way to Changning Hall, I saw palace maids and eunuchs whispering to each other from time to time.
It seems that there is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Zhaoshu Palace gave birth to a "witch boy" may have spread, and the air of the entire palace seems to be filled with uneasiness.
It seems like this imperial city is about to change.
