Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Chapter 170 "The Eve of the Decisive Battle"

The second prince himself turned pale at this moment and knelt down with a pop.

"Father, I have no son..."

However, his explanation is obviously weak.

"It was in vain that I had placed high hopes on you, and now you have done something like killing your brothers and sisters!" The emperor reprimanded loudly, "Someone, put this traitor into the sky prison and keep a strict guard on him!"

As soon as the emperor gave the order, the guards immediately came forward and took the second prince into custody.

The second prince did not understand until his death why there was a flaw in his plan.

He didn't know that his actions had long been calculated by Shen Luochen, and the jade pendant had been prepared in advance.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a sullen face, looked down at everyone from a high position, and said coldly:

"Recently, there have been constant disputes among the princes, and they even killed each other. Don't think that I don't know. Some of you must be adding fuel to the flames! Forming cliques for personal gain!"

All the ministers in the main hall lowered their heads and remained silent. No one dared to make a sound.

"Check!" the emperor shouted angrily.

"Check for me, who are the people who are friends with the fifth prince and the second prince on weekdays?"

After the order was given, everyone had different expressions, and some had cold sweat on their foreheads.

The most nervous one was especially King Yiyang. He was usually closest to the fifth prince, but he never expected that this would happen so suddenly.

As soon as he came out of court, he walked up to Shen Luochen with a worried look on his face.

"Nephew, what should we do now? If the emperor investigates this case layer by layer, you and I will definitely be implicated."

Shen Luochen had a calm face and said calmly:

"If that's the case, then you and I can just hope for the best. My nephew can't do anything about it."

"You!" King Yiyang didn't expect Shen Luochen's reaction. He was shocked and angry, but he had no choice but to sigh.

Shen Luochen didn't pay attention to him anymore. Instead, he quickened his pace and left him far behind.

Worry? He should be excited now, this day has finally arrived.

There was a faint look of excitement on his face, but he was still outside after all, so he restrained himself.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he told Su Liu about the matter.

"The fifth prince is dead?" Su Liu was also surprised. He didn't expect the second prince to take such an extreme approach.

Shen Luochen nodded, "Now the emperor has started to check the relevant people, and it is estimated that he will find me soon."

After all, he is a person who has personal relationships with both the second prince and the fifth prince, so he will probably be listed as the biggest suspect.

"Then you..." Su Liu frowned, faintly worried.

"General Wen's troops have been dormant outside the city for a long time. I think it's time." Shen Luochen said solemnly, with a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.

Su Liu suddenly understood and nodded.

"Have you informed the Seventh Prince about this matter?"

"Nineteen should have arrived at the seventh prince's residence." Shen Luochen replied.

Since the seventh prince really had no sense of presence, the emperor did not even suspect him at all when he was in court today, which was also a good sign.

"Okay." Su Liu took a deep breath and looked at Shen Luochen, "In that case, I support you and you must hit it with every hit!"

Shen Luochen held her hand and his eyes softened.

"When these things are over, we will return to Fengcheng and reunite with the children."

His tone was particularly firm and gentle, and he looked at her deeply, as if he was making a promise, but also as if he was cheering himself up.

Su Liu was slightly startled at first, and a warmth flowed through his heart. Then she reached out and patted Shen Luochen on the head.

"Okay! Don't set up a flag here, prepare well for tomorrow, that's the most important thing!"

Although Shen Luochen didn't understand what she said, he understood what she meant. He also smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I will listen to Madam."

On the eve of the decisive battle, there is naturally a lot to prepare.

The seventh prince received the notice and responded to the letter, saying that he was ready.

General Wen led the army and lurked on the mountain outside the imperial city. He only waited for orders from here to attack the central palace and go straight to Huanglong.

Shen Luochen, on the other hand, is more focused on recharging his energy and thinking ahead to all the changes that may happen tomorrow in order to be fully prepared.

In the evening, the two held hands and walked in the yard.

After so many years of dormancy and hard work, success or failure could only happen in one day. Naturally, they were a little nervous, so they simply came out for some air.

Looking up, the night is like water, with a bright crescent moon hanging high in the sky, surrounded by a few scattered stars.

A breeze blew, and there was a rustling sound in the bushes.

Su Liu gently leaned on Shen Luochen's shoulder, feeling the final tranquility. Neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, Su Liu felt a burst of chest tightness and nausea.

She bent over, with a look of pain on her face, covering her chest and retching.

"Liu'er?" Shen Luochen hurriedly supported her, his face full of worry and anxiety, "What's going on?"

Su Liu shook his head, his face a little pale.

"I'm fine, just take a rest." She smiled reluctantly and motioned for Shen Luochen to take her back to the room.

In fact, she herself didn't know what was wrong with her body, she just felt that she couldn't distract Shen Luochen at this time.

However, when she first stepped into the door of the room, she suddenly felt her eyes going dark and her feet went weak.

Before she fainted, Shen Luochen's panicked screams still echoed in her ears.

When she opened her eyes again, there was a man dressed as a doctor sitting in front of her bed, seemingly checking her pulse.

Shen Luochen sat aside, with undisguised worry on his face.

Su Liu reluctantly supported his body and sat up, and couldn't help but scolded:

"Didn't I say I was fine?"

She knew that Shen Luochen must have been looking for this doctor all night long. How could he spare his energy for her at this moment?

Shen Luochen lowered his head and said nothing, obviously showing no "repentance".

The doctor put his hand on her wrist, and he was still frowning tightly. After a while, he suddenly showed a look of joy, stood up and said to the two of them.

"Congratulations to both of you. Madam, you are very happy!"

Hearing this, Su Liu couldn't help but Shen Luochen also had a look of surprise and astonishment on his face.

Su Liu himself had never thought about it in this direction, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that his menstruation did not come this month...

"In that case, does she have no other health problems?" Shen Luochen still felt uneasy and asked.

The doctor shook his head and warned:

"My wife is not in serious health condition, but she has shown signs of being overly worried recently. This is not good for the fetus. I must take extra care of my wife's emotions recently."

Hearing this, Shen Luochen nodded and said with a smile:

"In that case, thank you sir."
