Chapter 392 Beauty Is a Disaster, Brothers Turn Against Each Other [Must Read Chapter]

That night.

In the harem of the Goryeo royal city, the Goryeo king Chen Lingwu of the Tang Dynasty had already fallen asleep in his mother's arms. Su Wan'er carefully put her son on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

Then, she tiptoed up from the bed and put on a mink coat.

It sounds like Su Wan'er, as the queen mother of the previous dynasty, should be in her middle age;

In fact, Su Wan'er is just past the age of flower (twenty-four or twenty-five years old).

Su Wan'er, who was born with natural beauty, has a unique graceful and luxurious aura after years of baptism and precipitation. This kind of beauty who can overwhelm the country actively throws herself into his arms. Not to mention that Chen Longxiang, who is in his prime, can't resist it, most men can't resist it!

The rapid development of their relationship was all because the helpless former Queen Mother Su Wan'er wanted to find a backer for herself and her son Zhao Lingwu in the new dynasty;

In order to secure her position as the King of Goryeo in the Tang Dynasty, she was willing to commit herself to Chen Longxiang.

However, with a deeper understanding, Su Wan'er has increasingly discovered that her dependence on Chen Longxiang has changed from just wanting to find a support for herself, an orphan and a widow, in the court of the Tang Dynasty;

Later, it has become her emotional dependence on Chen Longxiang, the kind of dependence that she really wants to stay together for a lifetime.

Although Su Wan'er knows that the relationship between her and Chen Longxiang is absolutely impossible to be recognized and blessed by the world;

However, people are emotional creatures. When faced with this kind of emotion that wants to stay together for a lifetime, it is impossible to think rationally. They just want to cherish the days and nights together.

Especially, when Su Wan'er learned that she was pregnant with her and Chen Longxiang's child, this feeling of dependence became even stronger;

She completely forgot the warning given to her by Chen Huaian, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Chen Longxiang's brother, when he spared them and their widowed mother in the Daxin Navy Camp;

Su Wan'er even had the idea in her mind that when Chen Longxiang returned to Beijing to meet the emperor next time, she should ask the emperor to issue an order to transfer all the people stationed in the Goguryeo Peninsula, such as Chen Qingzhi, the Duke of Han, Wang Jian, the Duke of Qin, and Qi Jiguang, the Duke of Ding, back to the Central Plains Dynasty;

Only Chen Longxiang, the King of Jin, would be left in Goryeo until the day when Chen Lingwu, the King of Goryeo, who was conferred the title of King, took power.

In this way, she can truly live with Chen Longxiang in the Goryeo harem, openly and honestly, instead of hiding and sneaking around like now;

Besides, her eldest son Lingwu likes Chen Longxiang, the "fake father" very much;

Presumably, after the child in her belly is born, Lingwu will also love this younger brother and sister, right?

Recently, this idea in Su Wan'er's mind has become stronger and stronger.

In her opinion, the current emperor Chen Huaian has only one brother, Chen Longxiang, and according to Chen Longxiang's story, his elder brother Chen Huaian has doted on him since he was a child;

In this way, Su Wan'er has every reason to believe that if Chen Longxiang makes a request, it should not be difficult for the emperor to order the transfer of the three dukes of the Goguryeo Peninsula back to the Central Plains.

It seems that the eunuchs of the imperial court have arrived at the Goryeo royal city in the past few days. It is said that they have ordered the "one king and three dukes" of the Goguryeo Peninsula to return to Beijing to report before the Lunar New Year's Eve;

Su Wan'er keenly realized that this was a good opportunity to talk to the emperor;

She was thinking in her mind that when Chen Longxiang returned tonight, she would let Chen Longxiang take this opportunity to return to Beijing and propose to the emperor to transfer the three dukes back to the Central Plains on the night of the reunion on New Year's Eve;

Even if the emperor did not agree on the spot, he could ask Chen Longxiang to ask his mother Xu Ruoyun afterwards. With the endorsement of the current empress dowager Xu Ruoyun, I think this matter can be settled.

When she thought of this, Su Wan'er's delicate and charming face suddenly smiled.

While stroking her bulging belly, she said to the child in her belly: "Don't worry, my child, your mother will definitely find a way to let your father ask the emperor for his consent;"

"After you are born, our family of three can live happily together, and no one can separate our family of three or four, hehe!"

It was late at night.

Su Wan'er in the deep palace has not waited for Chen Longxiang to return, which makes her a little anxious.

She asked the close maid in the outer hall: "Liu Ye'er, what time is it now?"

The maid replied without hesitation: "Reporting to the queen, it's the second watch!"

Hmm?

Su Wan'er in the inner hall frowned slightly, thinking that it shouldn't be like this. Normally at this time, the little prince should have come back to accompany her and the child.

What happened today?

With an anxious and complicated mood, Su Wan'er continued to pace back and forth in the inner hall, waiting for the return of Jin Wang Chen Longxiang.

Finally, at midnight, Chen Longxiang came back.

Liu Yeer, the maidservant in the outer hall, left the hall tactfully and closed the door.

Su Waner also hurriedly greeted him with a smile in her eyes. Just as she was about to say hello, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Su Waner subconsciously raised her hand to cover her nose, looked at Chen Longxiang in confusion, and asked: "Prince, you, you drank?"

Hmm!

Chen Longxiang nodded, forced a smile and replied: "Today, the Duke of Korea entertained the generals of the three armies, and I drank a little bit."

Oh!

Su Wan'er nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Liu Ye'er to get some hot water to help the prince bathe and change clothes!"

Then, Su Wan'er, with a big belly, called the palace maid Liu Ye'er who was waiting outside the palace to prepare hot water for Chen Longxiang to bathe and change clothes.

Seeing Su Wan'er still running around for him with a big belly, Chen Longxiang suddenly felt a pain in his nose, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

That's right, Chen Longxiang lied.

In fact, he didn't entertain the generals of the three armies with Chen Qingzhi, the Duke of Korea, tonight. He didn't even have dinner with Chen Qingzhi, but was alone in a tavern outside the royal city to drink and drown his sorrows until now.

Today, the words that Chen Qingzhi, the Duke of Korea, said to him dealt a 10,000-point critical blow to Chen Longxiang's already immature heart.

Before this, he thought that the affair between him and the former Empress Dowager Su Wan'er was flawless and unknown to anyone;

In fact, the Duke of Korea Chen Qingzhi, the Duke of Qin Wang Jian, the Duke of Dingguo Qi Jiguang, and even the generals of the Tang army stationed on the Goguryeo Peninsula, all knew it clearly.

However, they did not expose him, and they all turned a blind eye to his acting!

Only he was still like a clown, pretending to be serious every day.

What made Chen Longxiang even more tormented was that after the Duke of Korea Chen Qingzhi exposed the truth, he had given him an ultimatum that he must deal with the child in the belly of the former Empress Dowager Su Wan'er before returning to Beijing on Laba.

Chen Qingzhi's words were very straightforward, implying that Chen Longxiang should abort the child in Su Wan'er's belly, abort his first child.

This request was unacceptable to Chen Longxiang, who killed many people on the battlefield and had a heart as hard as a rock.

Su Wan'er was carrying his child!

Chen Longxiang couldn't kill his unborn child with his own hands, let alone be cruel.

However, Chen Qingzhi, Duke of Korea, also explained to him the interests involved;

If the child in the belly of the former Queen Mother Su Wan'er was not removed, and he did not break off his relationship with Su Wan'er, once the matter was leaked, it would completely make the current emperor Chen Huaian lose face and cause turmoil in the Tang Dynasty again;

On one side, there was his beloved and his unborn child;

On the other side, there was his elder brother whom he had respected since childhood, and the royal face of the Tang Dynasty;

The palms and backs of the hands were all flesh!

No matter what choice he made, it was difficult for the young King of Jin Chen Longxiang to make a decision.

He had been drinking in a restaurant outside the royal city to drown his sorrows, but he still couldn't come up with a win-win plan.

Why is life so difficult?

At this time, the young Prince of Jin was facing a challenge he had never had in his life.

Standing at the crossroads of life, what choice should Chen Longxiang make?

"Prince, come and take a bath!"

At this time, Su Wan'er's voice came from the outer hall. She had already instructed the palace maids and eunuchs to prepare bath water for Chen Longxiang, and planned to personally serve Chen Longxiang to wash up.

Moreover, Su Wan'er had already planned to take the opportunity of serving Chen Longxiang to wash up and tell Chen Longxiang the matter that she had been planning for a long time.

Here, Chen Longxiang, who had a lot of things in his heart but no one to tell, began to take a bath and wash up at Su Wan'er's call.

And Su Wan'er also drove away the palace maids and eunuchs around her, and personally took a towel to help Chen Longxiang bathe.

While washing, she said: "Your Highness, I asked the imperial physician in the palace to check my pulse today. After the beginning of next spring, Your Highness will become a father;"

"The imperial physician said that judging from the pulse, the child in my belly is a little prince~"

Swish!

Upon hearing this, Chen Longxiang's body suddenly froze, as if something had stabbed him hard in the softest part of his heart.

Haha!

Chen Longxiang smiled and said: "Son is good, I like sons the most, haha!"

Su Wan'er said again: "Your Highness, I heard that the emperor has ordered Your Highness and the three dukes to return to Beijing before New Year's Eve to report?"

Yes!

Chen Longxiang nodded and said: "That's the case."

At this time, Su Wan'er suddenly stopped what she was doing, walked around in front of Chen Longxiang, looked at him with a smile, and said tentatively: "Your Highness, I have an unwelcome request, I hope Your Highness will fulfill it."

Hmm?

Chen Longxiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Wan'er said timidly, "I want to wait until the little prince is born so that he can live with his father openly;"

"So, so I want to ask the prince to take this opportunity to return to the capital to report on his duties and ask the emperor to let the prince be responsible for the military and political affairs of the Goguryeo Peninsula alone next year;"

"Let the emperor issue an order to transfer Chen Qingzhi, Duke of Han, Wang Jian, Duke of Qin, and Qi Jiguang, Duke of Ding, back to the court Go;"

Su Wan'er looked at Chen Longxiang's eyes with charming eyes, and continued pitifully: "If the emperor can agree, then our family of three can live happily together in the future!"

"Prince, for the sake of the unborn little prince in my belly, for the sake of our family of three, can you please ask the emperor once?"

Buzz——

After listening to Su Wan'er's words, Chen Longxiang's head, which was originally groggy due to drinking, exploded with a buzzing sound at this moment.

The expression on that face, which still retained some childishness, suddenly became gloomy and solemn.
