Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 201: Conferring the Crown Prince
After Shen Yuxian was imprisoned, the news quickly spread to the East Palace.

Ji Qinqin hurried to the cell to see Shen Yuxian, but she didn't expect that the first thing Shen Yuxian said when he saw her was to help pass the message to the queen.

She felt that Shen Yuxian was in trouble this time, and if she helped, her position in Shen Yuxian's mind would be different in the future, so she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The queen was already sitting in her bedroom waiting for Shen Yuxian to come for help, and she didn't have to wait long before she heard Ji Qinqin coming to ask for an audience.

"Madame Mei, bring her in."

Ji Qinqin was brought in by Nanny Mei. When she saw the queen sitting calmly, her inner panic instantly subsided.

"Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was framed and is suffering in prison."

Kong Wanhan slowly raised her eyes and looked at Ji Qinqin who was pretending to cry.

"I understand. I will have someone rescue him later. Do you want to stay with him or stay in the East Palace?"

Ji Qinqin was stunned for a moment. Why did the Queen's words sound awkward? After the Prince came out of the cell, he would naturally return to the East Palace. Did the Queen want to give her a chance to win over the Prince's heart?

She nodded shyly but happily, "I want to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you there."

After all, she and Shen Yuxian have had a mother-son relationship for many years. She is not as cruel as the emperor. Moreover, if Shen Yuxian had not been by her side all these years, she would not have been able to endure the hardships in the palace.

Treason is a serious crime. She rescued Shen Yuxian this time, which can be regarded as repaying the mother-son relationship over the years. Whether Shen Yuxian can escape depends on his ability.

When the jailers saw the Queen send people to fish out Shen Yuxian, they did not dare to go against the Queen, nor did they dare to offend the Emperor, so they had to pretend not to see it and only reported the news after Shen Yuxian left.

When the news was delivered to the imperial study, the emperor already knew that Kong Wanhan had rescued Shen Yuxian. He looked at the unboiled teacup on the stove and waited until the water boiled before ordering his troops to chase and execute him on the spot.

Shen Yuxian ran out smoothly. He lifted the car curtain and was shocked to see Ji Qinqin in the car. "Why are you here?"

"My mother asked me to come and accompany you." Ji Qinqin said this while deliberately sticking out her belly.

When Shen Yuxian saw Ji Qinqin's belly, his nervous expression subsided.

"Let's go."

Ji Qinqin saw that the carriage was not heading back to the East Palace, "Your Highness, where are we going?"

Shen Yuxian looked serious.

"Don't talk too much, just follow me."

"Oh." Ji Qinqin smiled innocently, but when she got off the carriage and saw a group of armored soldiers in front of her, she couldn't help but feel her legs go weak.

Shen Yuxian didn't notice that Ji Qinqin's face turned pale. He directly pulled Ji Qinqin onto the horse and went out of the city.

As long as he goes to his territory, the emperor can't do anything to him.

Ji Qinqin's stomach hurt a little from being tossed by the horse. She whined and said, "Your Highness, please go slower. My stomach hurts."

Shen Yuxian was only thinking about escaping and didn’t hear what Ji Qinqin said.

Seeing that the city gate was just ahead, Shen Yuxian grinned, raised his hand and patted the horse's back hard.

"I am under the order of the Emperor. Open the door!"

Suddenly a group of people rushed out and surrounded Shen Yuxian and others, and Shen Yuxian was terrified.

In his panic, he did not notice the rope on the ground, and the horse was running too fast, so he did not see the rope and the horse's hoof was caught in the rope.

Shen Yuxian and Ji Qinqin were thrown out by the horse.

Shen Yuxian was afraid of getting hurt, so he quickly pulled Ji Qinqin over to help him resist.

Ji Qinqin fell heavily to the ground, looking at Shen Yuxian who was pressing on her in disbelief. She was a pregnant woman, and if she fell, it would be difficult to keep the baby in her belly.

When she saw Shen Yuxian wanted to get up and run, she quickly grabbed Shen Yuxian's hand. "Your Highness, please don't abandon me."

Ji Qinqin looked around fearfully at the ferocious-looking men surrounding her. The looks in their eyes made it seem as if she was an unforgivable sinner.

"Chen Yuxian, surrender and I will leave you with a whole body."

Shen Yuxian looked over and saw that the person leading the troops was Qin Junxun.

He threatened in a stern voice, "Qin Junxun, your Qin family has never been involved in the affairs of the court, so don't meddle in other people's business!"

Qin Junxun bowed to the sky and sneered.

"This time, we are leading the troops on the orders of the Emperor! Soldiers, listen to my orders, capture Shen Yuxian! Execute him on the spot!"

Shen Yuxian retreated in panic, "Impossible, my father would never do this to me, I am the crown prince!" He quickly signaled to the people following him to resist.

However, those people gave in at the critical moment, dropped their weapons and begged for mercy.

Ji Qinqin beside him was also scared, and crawled to Shen Yuxian's side without caring about the pain in her body.

Shen Yuxian's eyes moved left and right. He suddenly pulled Ji Qinqin up, pushed Ji Qinqin aside, and then went out to an empty space.

When Ji Qinqin fell down, she was accidentally stabbed in the chest by the tip of the knife. She couldn't believe that today would be the day of her tragic death. When she fell to the ground, she couldn't help but regret choosing to follow the prince. One wrong step led to another.

Qin Junxun watched Ji Qinqin die, and cast a disdainful glance at Shen Yuxian who was fleeing.

Fortunately, this cowardly, selfish fool is no longer the crown prince.

Shen Yuxian was quickly captured by the soldiers. Before he could say anything, a bunch of spears stabbed into his body. He opened his eyes wide and waited unwillingly to die.

"The traitor has been eliminated! This general will go to the palace to ask for your reward!"

Qin Junxun squeezed his horse's belly and glanced at the soldiers who were looking at him excitedly.

"Don't harm innocent women and children, or I'll behead you! I'll be back soon."

Everyone took note and respectfully hoped Qin Junxun would leave.

The emperor was sitting in the imperial study waiting for news from Qin Junxun. When he saw Qin Junxun come in calmly to report, he knew that Shen Yuxian had been executed. He sighed and went forward to help Qin Junxun up.

"Jun Xun has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time. What reward do you want?"

"I have no requests, I just want all the soldiers to be warm and well fed."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction and said, "As expected of someone I promoted, I approve!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Junxun knelt respectfully to express his gratitude.

After Qin Junxun left the palace, he immediately went to see Shen Jing secretly, and the emperor drafted an edict to disclose Shen Jing's identity tomorrow.

When the decree was announced during the morning court session the next day, everyone was shocked.

How could such a strange thing happen? And it happened in the royal family!
The imperial edict said, "The queen once had a son, but a fortune-teller said that the child would die if raised by the queen, so he was raised in Prince Zhong's mansion. The child was Shen Jing."

Not only did Shen Jing not die, he also jumped from a dandy young man to the current crown prince. He was even more idle than the previous crown prince, which was really hard to accept.

Prince Zhong wrote down all the people who jumped out to oppose him and told Shen Jing when he returned home.

The one who reacted most strongly was the Imperial Concubine. She had worked so hard and mobilized so many people to assassinate Shen Jing, but in the end it was all in vain. As soon as Shen Jing came back, he became the crown prince.

The second prince ran to the imperial concubine's palace in anger.

"Mother, why didn't you just tell me that Shen Jing is the Queen's son? No wonder you insisted on killing Shen Jing. Now that Shen Jing is not dead, what should we do?"

The imperial concubine had a splitting headache and her mind was in a mess. The emperor suddenly issued an order to recognize Shen Jing, but she didn't receive any news at all. She couldn't help but suspect that the emperor was already on guard against her.
