Chapter 1689 A Small Warning
Catherine's Palace, Saint Petersburg
Queen Elizabeth was the first to hear the news of Ekaterina's pregnancy. When she heard the news, she walked around excitedly.

"Haha!" Queen Elizabeth smiled very happily, "She finally did it!" Elizabeth said as she walked, "Russia finally has an heir, finally has an heir."

"Chief guard!"

The chief guard hurriedly came to Queen Elizabeth's side, "The Crown Princess is pregnant now, and I order you to protect her personally during this time. I cannot allow even a single risk to appear in the Crown Princess's palace!"

Queen Elizabeth stared closely at the chief guard with a warning face, and the chief guard's forehead was about to sweat.

"If there is another poisoning incident like the one that the crown prince and concubine encountered when she came to St. Petersburg at the beginning, as long as there is even the slightest sign, you will kill him in the bud, and then a little bit will come out. I'll take your head on top of your question, do you understand?"

The chief guard nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will guarantee that there will be no problems at all."

"Hmph, it's good that you know it. If your head can't stand it at that time, I will definitely send you and your family to the monastery. You should understand what I'm talking about."

The head guard nodded quickly again, "What are you still doing standing there! Why don't you hurry up and arrange it!"

"Yes!" The chief guard left tremblingly, but not long after he walked out of the door, Queen Elizabeth called again: "Wait!"

The chief guard hurriedly turned his head, and Queen Elizabeth said, "Go and call Peter to me."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the chief guard had left, Elizabeth continued to walk around in circles, shaking her head as she walked, and said, "That's great, it's really great, alas, there's good news at last."

As she said that, she sat down at the desk, looked at some documents handed over by the ministers, and felt particularly better, and the speed of processing documents was many times faster than usual.

On the other side, Crown Prince Peter and his attendant Saltykov were standing together.

Crown Prince Peter also received the news that Ekaterina was pregnant. After all, some people are stalking and want to report good news to this crown prince. You must know that this crown prince is the future emperor of the Tsarist Russian Empire. If you are happy, your future may be guaranteed.

The news naturally reached Crown Prince Peter's ears, but they never expected that Crown Prince Peter's attitude towards this matter was completely different.

Compared to Queen Elizabeth's joy, Crown Prince Peter only felt the black lines all over his head, even like five thunderbolts.

Peter was also walking around in place, but the expression on his face was particularly unnatural.

He was actually very angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask Ekaterina, let alone her aunt, Queen Elizabeth.

For Queen Elizabeth, Peter was very afraid in his heart. He used to be very restless. After Ekaterina came, he chose not to contact her. One of the big reasons was that his aunt gave him a very important one. warning.

His aunt took his nephew to the prison where Ivan VI lived, where it was dark and deep underground.

Ivan VI is not young now, but he can't speak, let alone read, and there is only one old maid who takes care of him every day.

Even so, Queen Elizabeth still tentatively asked Ivan VI some questions, as long as Ivan VI had a little answer.

Peter knew that the child named Ivan and the maid would die in that prison, and his aunt would not show any mercy, and would definitely let them leave this world happily.

After leaving that dark prison, he finally understood that his status as crown prince was not a qualification for him to be proud of, and he was just a tool of his aunt.

Since then, he has suffered from a phobia of marriage, to be precise, a phobia of having children.

He was worried that once he and his wife gave birth to a child, the final result would be a disaster, and he absolutely didn't want himself to enter that kind of place.

He knew that with his mediocre ability and perverse personality, he would definitely be completely abandoned by his aunt. Her aunt just needed him to give birth to an heir to the throne for Russia, but he was not the best candidate for the heir to the throne.

Undoubtedly, this hit him extremely hard, but after he came out of that place, he never dared to disobey Queen Elizabeth again, so he could only swallow his anger.

As for Ekaterina who made a show of flirting with him every time, he could only choose to turn a blind eye, so what could he do?Even if he wanted to do such a thing, he would not dare.

Between the child and his own life, he can only choose his own life.

At first, he thought it was for the good of Ekaterina, but now, when he heard that Ekaterina was pregnant, he was angry and annoyed, and even a little scared.

At this time, the chief guard knocked on the door outside, "Your Highness, Your Majesty the Empress, please go to his study."

Peter's body trembled, and he felt his whole body start to tremble, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

Enter Queen Elizabeth's study.

Crown Prince Peter stood cautiously beside the desk. Queen Elizabeth looked up at him and found that he was very well-behaved today.

"sit down!"

With a simple sentence, Peter immediately sat down at the desk.

Queen Elizabeth ignored him and dealt with the documents in her hand. After a while, she twisted her neck, "I'm so tired!"

Peter immediately stood up and pressed Queen Elizabeth's shoulders and neck with his hands, "Auntie, you have worked so hard, and you have to deal with so many government affairs every day."

Queen Elizabeth looked at Crown Prince Peter with a smile, "Are you different today?"

"Haha, no, there is no difference!"

"Hmph!" Queen Elizabeth snorted coldly, "You must have known about Ekaterina's pregnancy, so I won't play around with you."

"Recently, don't provoke Ekaterina. Before Ekaterina's child is born, if I find out that you bring the dog into her room, be careful with your skin."

Crown Prince Peter's face was bitter, but he quickly replied: "Of course not, of course not!"

"Did you hear that I'm going to send you to the monastery?" Elizabeth turned her head.

Crown Prince Peter swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Queen Elizabeth saw this, and he felt that his back was almost wet. He wanted to answer, but dared not answer.

"aunt."

Looking at the trembling Crown Prince Peter, Queen Elizabeth nodded slightly.

"During this period of time, you are still safe. As long as Ekaterina's child is born smoothly, I will let you be safe and sound, and you don't have to go to a monastery, do you think so?"

Crown Prince Peter nodded repeatedly, and Queen Elizabeth waved her hand, "Get out!"

Peter cheered like a puppy that had just been petted, and left Queen Elizabeth's study.

Queen Elizabeth shook her head helplessly. Her nephew was really too muddy to support the wall. It would be strange if she handed over the throne to him and didn't drag Russia to death.
