The spring was getting brighter and brighter, Mayisha and Liu Huo joined hands to enjoy the flowers in the back garden of the palace, both of them beaming with joy.
"Your Majesty, I have good news to tell you." Mayisha couldn't hide her joy, with a hint of shyness.
"Say." Liu Huo felt quite proud at the moment. He received a letter from Fei Ge in the morning, and Tong Fuan reported to him that not only had Dongling Qiyu been poisoned, but he had also successfully brought back the princess. What should he do?
Not happy! Although he was with Mayisha, his heart was no longer with her.
"I'm pregnant." Mayisha folded her hands on her abdomen and whispered with her head lowered.
Liu Huo was startled and turned to look at her.
"Your Majesty is going to be a father." Mayisha looked up and saw Liu Huo looking at him with a strange expression, looking at him with some anxiety.
"Am I going to be a father?" Liu Huo stared at Mayisha, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad. After all, as a father for the first time, a certain string in his heart had been touched inexplicably, but when he looked at Mayisha's dark face, he felt...
It's an indescribable feeling. Will the child follow her?
"Your Majesty is not happy?" Seeing that he did not have the joyful surprise she expected, Mayisha lowered her head and asked sadly.
"How could it be? I heard the news suddenly. I was so surprised that I didn't react at all. Haha -" Liu Huo came back to his senses, picked her up and laughed. "Happy event! This is heaven.
It's a big happy event. Come on, let's go to the palace to announce the good news to my father and mother! This is my father's first grandson!"
When Mayisha heard what Liu Huo said, her hanging heart was relieved. She snuggled into Liu Huo's arms and felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
The two went back to the house and changed into the palace attire, and headed to the palace in a gorgeous sedan. When they arrived at Qingning Palace, they reported the good news to the queen. Duanmu Yunji was very happy, and she took the two of them to the palace happily.
Xi Dian went to the emperor to report the good news.
Liu Hongjing has been in a bad mood since Luo Lianyi left the palace. There was no good news from the border. He just received urgent documents today and found out that the princess had been kidnapped by Tong Fuan, which made him even more angry and resentful.
Concubine Xue Shu had been carefully comforting him, but no words seemed to be able to soothe the emperor's worry. An announcement came from outside that Duanmu Yunji, Liu Huo, and Maisha came into the palace. Concubine Xue Shu bowed quickly and quietly stepped back.
After visiting the shrine, Liu Hongjing reluctantly smiled and asked, "Come here together. What's the matter?"
"Huo'er, tell your father this good news quickly. You see your father's overall sad face, which makes your father happy." Duanmu Yunji pushed Liu Huo.
Liu Hongjing felt a little angry when he saw the queen's sarcastic face.
"What's the matter?" He turned around and looked at Liu Huo with a frown.
"Mayisha is pregnant, and our Xiling royal family is about to have a new member." Liuhuo held Mayisha's hand, looking quite proud.
"Oh? Well, very good. You have to worry about raising the baby." Although Liu Hongjing didn't like Liu Huo, he was his son after all. Hearing that he would have a grandson soon, he was still a little happy on his face. He smiled.
said Maisha.
"Thank you, Father." Mayisha bent her knees slightly.
"You guys go down first, Liu Huo stays." Liu Hongjing said.
Duanmu Yunji didn't know what was happening on the other side of the border. After taking a look at Liuhuo, she took Mayisha and retreated first.
After Liu Hongjing waited for the women to leave, his expression quickly turned gloomy, and he glared at Liu Huo angrily.
"Father, you never seem to have a good attitude toward your son." Liu Huo smiled playfully, completely ignoring his father's anger.
"What do you want?" Liu Hongjing asked.
Liuhuo shook his folding fan and asked, "What does Father mean?"
"Stop pretending to be confused with me! You secretly let Tong Fu'an out of the palace, allowed him to practice evil arts, and now you let him kidnap the princess. I ask you, what do you want?!"
"Father, it sounds like you only know one thing but not the other. Tong Fu'an has made a great contribution this time. He didn't hold the princess hostage, he just brought her back to the imperial capital in advance." Liu Huo said slowly while waving his folding fan.
explain.
"What one or two?" Liu Hongjing frowned, his neck was thick with anger at Liu Huo's appearance.
"May I ask my father, has His Royal Highness found the antidote for the princess?" Liu Huo asked with a contemptuous smile.
Liu Hongjing said in a low voice: "No."
"The moon is about to be full, and the tragic situation of the princess's poisonous disease is still before our eyes. Alas, my son can't bear to see the beauty suffer, so he sends Tong Fu'an to follow him to Dongling. Tong Fu'an not only wants to get the antidote, but also
In turn, he poisoned Qi Yu. Father, these two great achievements can save Tong Fu'an from the death penalty, right?" After Liu Huo finished speaking, he looked at his father with his slender eyes.
Liu Hongjing's eyes lit up. He grabbed Liu Huo and said, "Is it true that Tong Fu'an has obtained the antidote for the princess?"
"It's absolutely true, and you can exchange the antidote for the antidote in the future. Father, you don't have to go to war and send out troops to attack, which wastes people and money." Liu Huo said proudly.
Liu Hongjing looked at him, was silent for a while, sneered, and said: "What do you want? Do you want a reward from me? You said that as long as I can do it, I will agree to it, including asking for a reward for the unborn emperor's grandson.
"
Liu Huo laughed, thought for a moment, opened her lips slightly, and slowly said a sentence: "I want my father to reward me as the princess."
Like thunder on the ground, Liu Hongjing was almost knocked down by Liu Huo's words. He seemed not to believe his ears and asked: "What did you say?"
"I said reward the princess to me, and I will love her well. Hahaha, father, you can't protect her, the prince can't protect her, only the son can protect her. If you don't want to see her suffer, reward her.
Give it to your son." Liu Huo laughed wantonly.
"You - you -" Liu Hongjing raised his hand and slapped Liu Huo hard.
"Father is unwilling?" Liu Huo covered his face and looked at his father coldly.
"Get out! Get out!" Liu Hongjing covered his chest and had difficulty breathing.
Liu Huo smiled coldly and said, "If the father doesn't want to, let it go. My son will pretend that he has never let Tong Fu'an handle this matter. My son will resign."
"Get out!" Liu Hongjing grabbed the vase beside him and smashed it at Liu Huo.
Liu Huo avoided it and sneered: "But it is said that the heart-eating poison becomes more severe each time it attacks. The poor little princess is thin and weak, but she has to endure inhuman torture for your selfishness."
Liu Hongjing was trembling all over and sat slumped on the dragon chair, speechless.
"Father, please think twice. It is said that if you don't take the antidote, it will hurt so much that your hair will turn into white hair, and your face will age prematurely. If my father wants to see a peerless beauty, her hair will turn white in front of you."
Old woman, my son has nothing to say." After Liu Huo finished speaking, he bowed and turned around to leave.
"Stop!" Liu Hongjing shouted hoarsely.
"Father, think about it carefully. If you decide to pass it on to your son, your son will always be by your side." Liu Huo had a proud smile on his lips.
