Evil Crown Prince vs. Silly Princess - C215
The first rays of the morning sun shone through the layers of leaves, onto the earth, on the faces of the sleeping figures under the trees.
After a long while, Bai Zhixi slowly woke up. What entered his eyes was a hundred year old tree that he could not see in the distance.
The deep green leaf shook its body, and a few drops of sparkling and translucent morning dew slid down, coincidentally landing exactly on Bai Zhixi’s forehead.
The legendary ancient trees were also not as eerie and terrifying as the ones outside. On the contrary, they had a refreshing and apologetic feel to them.
However, after walking for an entire day, they still did not find any exits, nor did they find any traces of animals passing by.
Doubt was plaguing her, and she couldn’t make head or tail of it.
“Xi Er, how much further do we have to go? Is it really as the rumors say, that we can only die here?”
Bei Chu Rou stood up, patted off the dust on her body, lowered her eyes and said with a sad tone.
For the past hundred years, those who had entered the Forest of Death had never stepped out of it. Were they lucky?
The early morning breeze was always soothing, but it was also terrifyingly oppressive.
They were worried because of Bei Churou’s words, and their faces were serious.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely bring everyone out.”
Bai Zhixi gave a brilliant smile. His words were a bit forced, and looked pale and powerless.
After leaving the hot spring, their bodies were getting worse and worse. They didn’t walk far before they felt weak and breathless, as if a huge rock was pressing down on their chests.
At this moment, they felt that the Forest of Death was not empty air. It truly had the ability to kill.
The scorching sun shone down from the sky, and the Forest of Death was even more unbearably hot and sweltering.
Bai Zhixi and the rest walked for a day and looked back as if they were still walking.
At this moment, they were already exhausted, their mouths parched and their mouths parched. Their throats were burning with pain, and if there were no more water sources, they would die of thirst in this strange forest.
“Miss, all of you should leave! Don’t worry about me …”
Gu Yinuo leaned against the tree, her lips was cracked and colorless, with traces of fresh blood seeping out. Her small face was deathly pale as she spoke weakly.
After she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes and continuously swallowed her saliva, as if this could moisten her throat.
“Yi, get up.” We’ll definitely get out. ”
Bai Zhixi fiercely bit her lips, and a trace of pain came from her lips. In an instant, she woke up and used all her strength to pull Gu Yinuo up.
However, just as she stood up and took a few steps, a wave of dizziness hit her. Her vision turned dark and she slowly fell to the ground.
Under the blazing sun in the Forest of Death, under the layer upon layer of towering trees, lay Bai Zhixi and the others, on the verge of death.
In the east wing of the capital, the Chen Residence, the Residence’s doctor, carrying his medical case, left Ye Luoli’s courtyard with a solemn face.
Before leaving, he wrote down the prescription with a few strokes, passing it to the maidservant beside him. He then sighed lightly, shook his head again, and left.
“Ai, the mistress is too pitiful …”
“Yeah, this is the first time, you can’t be careless.”
maidservant took the prescription and looked inside the house. He muttered something under his breath and then walked hurriedly towards the kitchen.
“Li’er, I have let you and your son down. You will definitely be safe and sound.”
Dongfang Chen sat on the side of the bed as he caressed Ye Luoli’s pale and colorless face; his pitch-black eyes were tainted with a hint of pain. If he knew that she was pregnant, would he be able to anger her more than once?
In his heart, Ye Luoli was an extremely intelligent woman. She understood how to survive in the Royal Family.
That was why he dared to vent his anger on her without restraint. He didn’t expect that he had almost killed his first child.
Her royal grandmother had always loved her children, but now she had gotten what she wanted.
At this time, Ye Luoli, who was lying on the bed, felt her eyelashes tremble slightly. A single crystal clear tear rolled down her face, just like her current heart.
Child, you’ve come at the wrong time. What should I do with you?
Three days later, in the imperial palace of Dongjun Kingdom, the empress dowager of Dongjun Kingdom was lying on a short couch, enjoying the feeling of being massaged on the forehead by a palace maid.
It had suddenly rained heavily in the East Country for a few days, and her head was hurting again.
“Esteemed empress dowager, good news, good news!”
Suddenly, her personal mama walked in happily, unable to conceal the joy on her face.
“Vi mama, what’s making you so happy?”
The empress dowager slowly sat up and beckoned to the palace maids by her side, indicating that they should withdraw.
With a smile on her face, Senior Servant Qi strode over to pay her respects to the empress dowager.
In the next second, she retrieved a letter from her bosom and respectfully handed it to the Empress Dowager.
There was anticipation and happiness in her eyes, as if she couldn’t wait for the empress dowager to praise her.
“Mm, indeed it is a cause for celebration. This child has come at just the right time!” Tell the whole news to the Emperor so he can be happy and go to the unlucky few months. Also, let Chen’er bring her back to the palace immediately. This first child was very important. Nothing could go wrong. Now that the world was in turmoil and the two of them were young, it was unknown how they raised their babies. Bring that girl to my side, and I will be at ease. ”
The empress dowager’s face revealed a joyous expression. The hand holding the letter trembled uncontrollably, unable to contain her happiness.
After so many years, there was finally a later.
“Your servant congratulates the empress dowager!”
The empress dowager took the opportunity to congratulate Senior Servant Qi on her success, causing the empress dowager to feel a surge of happiness as she hurriedly dug out the longevity lock she’d kept in her possession for so many years.
“This longevity lock was personally made by the late Emperor when he was still alive to give the Emperor a full moon as a gift. Now that the successor to our new generation of Dongfang family is about to be born, I will give him this longevity lock. I hope that he will be like the previous emperor, possessing both the wild nature of a warrior and the benevolence of loving his people. ”
The empress dowager looked at the bracelet shining with golden light with satisfaction, a smile blossoming on her aged face.
It was as if he was seeing the birth of Dongfang Chen’s child.
“Esteemed empress dowager, how could you …” Would she allow Miss Ye to enter the palace? ”
Standing by the empress dowager’s side, Senior Servant Qi’s expression darkened as she asked her questions.
For so many years, the Crown Prince had never married a princess, he didn’t even have a single concubine.
Everyone had always thought that the crown prince was tall and clean, but they had no idea that the empress was controlling him.
Ever since she was young, the empress had always taught the Crown Prince not to give their heart to women, even if they liked them.
He had to marry the Phoenixis Maiden and let her become the empress of a nation before he could take her in as a concubine.
However, Crown Prince Dongfang Chen had always been rather filial and obedient to the Empress.
As his mother grew older and more knowledgeable, he also came to a decision.
Dongfang Chen stopped listening to Situ Lan’s words and secretly took in a few concubines.
But facing those beautiful girls, Dongfang Chen immediately hated them, the only girls he did not hate were Shangguan Jingyan and the Bai Family sisters.
Ever since those concubines entered the estate, he hadn’t touched a single hair on their bodies.
Then, Bai Zhixi and the others appeared, causing his love to sprout.
Unfortunately, Lang You’s concubine had no intention to do it, and continued to play with Shangguan Jingyan.
But the sky was unpredictable, how could he know that he would have a husband and wife with a daughter of a city lord?
Now that he had planted the fruit of his love and was the first child of the Dongfang family, the empress had no choice but to acknowledge him.
“What a joke. I am a dignified imperial family who wants to take a woman as an imperial concubine. How could I possibly ask for her permission?”
When the empress dowager heard Senior Servant Qi’s words, she slammed her hand on the table. With a cold glint in her eyes, she looked in the direction of the Ronghua Palace and walked towards the emperor’s Hall of Announcements.
Seeing this, Senior Servant Qi, who was walking behind her, quickly and carefully chased after her.
She frowned as she thought about what he had asked her to do, and her heart was unable to calm down for a long time.
Li’er, I hope you can gain a foothold in the imperial harem.
“Your Majesty, chenqie will definitely not allow that Jianghu woman to enter the palace.”
The empress dowager had just walked to the door when she heard Situ Lan’s biting cold voice, carrying a trace of majesty that could not be resisted.
It was obvious that they knew of this matter as well.
“What arrogant words from the empress. You don’t even have the right to decide on Dongjun Kingdom!”
The empress dowager’s anger soared as she strode in with large strides. Her voice was bone-chilling, causing chills to run down one’s spine.
When he walked past Situ Lan, he gave her a meaningful glance, and his words were filled with warning.
“Greetings, Imperial Mother!”
Situ Lan never thought that the empress dowager’s reaction would be so quick. With the situation in front of him, he was afraid that he had lost.
“Muhou, why are you here?”
Dong Aoqing carefully lifted her up and sat on the main seat.
“If I don’t come, your grandson will be rejected by others, and might even be killed.”
The empress dowager unhappily replied, flinging out his hand and announcing the rage in her heart.
After Dong Aoqing heard this, a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.
He had heard a bit about Dongfang Chen’s situation. It was said that the woman was the daughter of a Fringe City Lord.
But in the Dongjun Kingdom, or even in the entire world, being the right person was extremely important.
Although they didn’t mind, in the future, when that woman became the first wife, would she be able to block the crowd’s unhurried exit and be on equal footing with the other wives?
After all, in Dongfang Chen’s handwritten letter, he had promised her the position of being the Fourth Concubine.
He knew that this gentle son of his would never break his word.
“Imperial Mother, don’t worry. That woman will definitely be the head of the Fourth Concubine. Your great-grandson will be born safe and sound.”
Dong Aoqing patted her hands and gave her a definite answer.
“Your Majesty, that woman …”
“Alright, Queen, don’t worry! Chen’er had been steady ever since she was young. He had his reasons for doing so. We have to try and believe him. After all, in the end, the mountains and rivers of Dongjun Kingdom still have to be handed over to him. ”
The empress dowager was comforted for offending the empress.
Dong Aoqing walked over to Situ Lan’s side and immediately rejected her question and informed her of his position.
