Chapter 1072: 1070_1

"Bai Tian, do you know why Zhuan’er died so suddenly?"

"I’m not entirely sure, but I guess it might be because of the blood of the child in your belly."

"What does this have to do with my unborn child?" Xiao’er was even more confused. Her child hadn’t even been born yet.

"Didn’t you use your blood to lure the snake this time?"

"I used a little." Because she was worried that without her blood, the trick would be revealed from the beginning, she intentionally added a little of her own blood. She didn’t deliberately hurt herself, but since she had spotted a little blood already, she washed the bloodstains off her clothes from the day she fell and then added it to the bowl of blood.

Strictly speaking, it was indeed her child’s blood.

"Zhuan’er was born on a day that was yin in year, month, day, and hour. I guess your child will be born on a day that is yang in year, month, day, and hour. And both you and Prince Rui are people with strong yang energy. So the child inherits the yang energy from your blood. After this clash, Zhuan’er, still young, probably couldn’t bear it!"

"Luckily you added that bit of blood. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know when the space would be unlocked! Seems like Heaven is on your side!"

"Tsk tsk, harm brings harm to oneself. People’s hearts cannot be too wicked, they must not go too far in their deeds. In the end, good or evil will be repaid!"

Xiao’er: "..."

Seeing Xiao’er daydreaming, Shangguan Xuanyi waved his hand in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"

Xiao’er came back to her senses and told him what Bai Tian had said.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded after hearing her words: "Bai Tian is right. Good and evil will be repaid eventually. Everyone must pay a price for their actions. From the moment they decided to provoke you and me, they should have thought about the consequences of failure! I’ve never been one to take things lying down!"

Shangguan Xuanyi thought about how Zhuan’er’s birth didn’t seem to be natural; he was born prematurely, or rather, his existence had been calculated a long time ago! Even the timing of his birth was planned!

Shangguan Xuanyi remembered Shangguan Wanru had a miscarriage before getting pregnant with Zhuan’er. If she had not miscarried her first child, then a child born at a yin year, month, day, and hour would never have come into this world!

Could it be that someone had been plotting to take possession of her space from such an early stage?

Who could this person be? Is it the deceased Gong Zixuan or the scheming Gong Qinghua?

There’s little affection in the imperial family. Sometimes, even filial bonds can be used for calculations. Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t help but think deeper over it.

And where did the mage’s clan emerge from?

Shangguan Xuanyi stood up as he thought: "Xiao’er, I need to go out for a bit. You’ve finished your breakfast, go back to bed. You’ve been up for an hour."

On hearing this, Xiao’er rolled her eyes at this over-disciplinarian. They were just discussing serious matters, but he hurried her back to bed! He didn’t seem to grasp the situation!

However, Xiao’er obediently returned to bed.

Shangguan Xuanyi instructed Yang Mei to take good care of Xiao’er and not to let her move around too much. After that, he left Wang Mansion. He had a lot to do.

After Shangguan Xuanyi had left, Xiao’er lay on the bed and complained to Yang Liu and Yang Mei: "Why is it that other women’s husbands are ruled by their wives, but my husband imposes strict rules on me! Your master is absolutely overbearing!"

Hearing this, Yang Mei replied: "Princess, I think our master is the best husband in the whole Imperial City. If my future husband treats me the same, I would be smiling even in my dreams."

Everyone in Imperial City knows that Prince Rui spoils his wife limitlessly!

Yang Liu shook her head: "Nope, our master isn’t just the best husband in Imperial City, he is the best husband in the whole Minze Country! I believe if the three countries were to jointly hold a Best Husband Contest, our master would certainly win first place!"

"Yes, yes, yes! He’ll definitely take first."

Xiao’er looked at the two of them, clearly enjoying the subject and teased: "Yang Liu, Yang Mei, it’s time for you two to get married. I have thought of a good method to help you choose your husbands."

On hearing this, Yang Liu and Yang Mei instantly had a bad premonition and hurriedly waved their hands: "Princess, we plan to stay by your side unmarried for a lifetime. No need to choose a husband!"

"How can that be allowed? Don’t worry, I will surely help you choose the best husband! Why don’t you ask me how to choose?"

"No need, we really don’t need it." Yang Mei replied firmly.

Yang Liu also shook her head: "Right, we don’t need it! I’ve decided not to get married this lifetime."

"You need it! As I am happy, I also wish to see both of you be happy. I plan to have Brother Shangguan hold a Best Husband Contest in the army just to choose husbands for both of you." Xiao’er thought this was a good idea. She knew that many of Shangguan Xuanyi’s soldiers, especially the elite troops, didn’t even have time to get married because they were constantly training in the army.

They say, ’to settle down, regulate the family, govern the state, and pacify the world.’ The family happiness of their subordinates also needs attention. With a happy and settled family, the soldiers would have more motivation to defend their homeland!

"It’s just timely as I am currently pregnant, and your master won’t let me take charge of anything. But I dislike doing nothing, so I think I’ll use this time to find a good husband for you two!"

"Princess, just take good care of your pregnancy! Don’t busy yourself!" Yang Mei and Yang Liu said in unison, having not expected to invite trouble for themselves by praising their master.

In the tea house

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the man in front of him and asked coldly, "Have you heard anyone playing the flute these past two days?"

"Princess An played a few times yesterday, and several times this morning too. But so far, no one has responded. We don’t know if the person who played the flute is not daring to play anymore because they know they’ve been exposed, or if they’ve Already been dealt with by us."

Shangguan Wanru played the flute a few times? Probably because something happened to Zhuan’er and she was asking for the reason. Shangguan Xuanyi was somewhat curious about how they would answer.

"Keep a close eye on Princess An. Report any movement to me immediately! You may leave!"

"Yes, master." The man respectfully replied before leaving.

Soon, another person walked in.

"Did he confess?"

"No, he refuses to say anything."

"Use whatever means necessary to pry his mouth open, as long as he doesn’t die." Then Shangguan Xuanyi gave a few more instructions before the man left.

Then another person came in, Shangguan Xuanyi gave a few instructions, and the morning passed quickly.
