Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 108 Crown Princess, you don't want the Crown Prince to know your secret, do you?
Wasn't it said to be a false pregnancy?

Where did this child come from?

Lian Shanxin immediately began to suspect that the Crown Princess was having an affair behind the Crown Prince's back.

This is not impossible. Throughout history, there have been many emperors who were cuckolded, let alone crown princes.

However, this speculation was extremely unfriendly to the Crown Prince.

Lian Shanxin hopes that his "Tianyan Check" can bring him more information.

Tianyan Check has done it.

His gaze began to move upwards.

It moved from the abdomen to the baby's canteen.

The target then remained there.

It wasn't because I was attracted by the Crown Princess's baby canteen.

Instead, he noticed that the Crown Princess was forming a mudra with her hands in front of her chest. It was a mudra that he found very strange, even eerily familiar from his past, and it gave him a chilling feeling.

Then, Lian Shanxin saw a familiar red dress again.

This made Lian Shanxin's gaze sharpen once again.

Blood Guanyin!

To date, Lianshan Xin has not yet met the Blood Guanyin.

But Blood Guanyin probably doesn't know that she has already appeared on screen many times under Lian Shanxin's watchful eye.

"It's that witch from the evil cult again."

"Just like with Thousand Faces, it feels like they're everywhere?"

"The influence of this demonic sect is much wider than I imagined; it feels almost omnipresent."

"Could it be that I misunderstood Jiangzhou before? How come everyone in this capital city is also a demon?"

Previously, Lian Shanxin had always looked down on the Demonic Sect.

Even though Qianmian was very powerful in the capital city, Lian Shanxin still looked down on the Demonic Sect.

In Lianshanxin's view, a cult that couldn't even pay the salaries of its ordinary disciples had no future.

Not to mention that Thousand Faces and Blood Guanyin were both elders of the Demonic Sect, yet they killed each other.

What else can we expect?

However, Lian Shanxin is now beginning to take the power of the Demonic Sect more seriously.

Although the two demons, Thousand Faces and Blood Guanyin, are both selfish and disregard the big picture, it must be said that they are indeed quite capable.

No one knew better than Emperor Yongchang how capable Qianmian was.

No one knew better than Emperor Yongchang how capable the Blood Guanyin was.

cough cough.

The top-ranked person is truly prestigious.

Lian Shanxin composed himself and began to focus his attention on the Blood Guanyin and the Crown Princess.

"Master, how should one begin with the 'Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Nurtured Scripture'?"

The one speaking is the Crown Princess.

Lian Shanxin realized the identities of the Crown Princess and the Blood Guanyin: master and disciple.

It's somewhat similar to my relationship with Qianmian, who is also my disobedient disciple.

The Blood Guanyin's answer was something neither Shan Xin nor the Crown Princess had expected.

"I am not sure as well."

Crown Princess: "..."

"Just practice according to the diagram. If you don't understand something, I will write to the sect leader. The 'Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Netherworld Scripture' is a celestial technique passed down in our Holy Sect. Only the sect leaders of each generation can cultivate it. However, your identity is special, and you are too important to the grand plan of our Holy Sect. Therefore, the sect leader decided to bestow the 'Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Netherworld Scripture' upon you. Disciple, you must know how much the sect leader values ​​you."

"The disciple understands."

The Crown Princess naturally knew that immortal arts were rare.

Even with her family background, she wouldn't be qualified to cultivate immortal arts if she didn't join the Demonic Sect or the Nine Heavens.

Although the Demonic Sect did not pay her a monthly salary, the fact that they presented her with the "Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Nectar" did make her and her family feel the Demonic Sect's sincerity in cooperating.

This is also one of the reasons why the Crown Princess was willing to acknowledge the Blood Guanyin as her master.

"But immortal techniques are difficult to cultivate, and I'm afraid I might be cultivating them incorrectly." The Crown Princess wasn't very confident. "Master, how about we cultivate together?"

"No, I have sworn an oath not to touch this immortal technique. With the Sect Master above, I dare not disobey."

Lian Shanxin blinked.

If the Blood Guanyin didn't deceive the Crown Princess, it means that the Demon Sect Leader's authority is higher than he imagined, making the Blood Guanyin so obedient.

Of course, there is another possibility:
There are problems with "The Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Nectar".

Blood Guanyin knew there was something wrong, so she wouldn't touch this magic.

"Alright, then Master, please protect me while I try to see if I can cultivate."

The Crown Princess closed her eyes and entered a meditative state, her hands still in that strange posture.

Lian Shanxin's Heavenly Eye clearly saw a vortex gradually forming inside the Crown Princess's lower abdomen.

Ultimately, it seemed to be taking on the shape of a fetus.

This made Lian Shan's heart skip a beat, and he immediately thought of a slogan known to everyone in the Demonic Sect:

"Maitreya descends to earth, and the Bright King is born!"

Thinking of this, Lian Shanxin's expression finally changed.

If his guess is true, then this is a big problem.

He may even have glimpsed the secrets of the gods.

"Ah-Xin, what are you looking at? What have you noticed?"

The Crown Prince kept a close eye on Lian Shanxin.

He soon realized that Lian Shanxin was staring at the Crown Princess for too long.

However, the Crown Prince did not care. He did not think it was offensive. Instead, he was startled and realized that Lian Shanxin had indeed seen some of the Crown Princess's unknown secrets.

The Crown Princess's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, has he really discovered something?
Lian Shanxin shook his head abruptly.

The image fades.

His face was extremely pale.

The secret he witnessed this time was so significant that Lian Shanxin hesitated for a moment about whether to tell the Crown Prince.

After a moment of contemplation, Lian Shanxin rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Ah-Xin, Ah-Xin? What's wrong?"

The Crown Prince was startled and immediately reached out to catch the unconscious Lian Shanxin. He then glared angrily at the Crown Princess and demanded, "What have you done to Axin?"

The Crown Princess laughed angrily: "Don't you know whether I laid a hand on Lian Shanxin or not?"

The Crown Prince frowned and said, "After you practiced the demonic sect's techniques, your strength has surpassed mine. If you intend to harm Ah Xin, it's reasonable that I couldn't see through it."

The Crown Princess laughed in anger again: "You doubt your Crown Princess for the sake of a man?"

Is this even reasonable?

The prince felt this was reasonable: "Ah Xin is no stranger; he is my savior. You really didn't do it?"

The Crown Princess sneered, "I think he's faking it."

Lian Shanxin cursed inwardly and directly mobilized his internal energy, causing it to surge wildly and making him truly faint.

Before he passed out, he saw his buddy, who was his accessory, rush in.

With Tian Ji as his personal confidant and the Crown Prince as his devoted follower, even if the Crown Princess wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be so easy.

as predicted.

After checking Lian Shanxin's breathing, the Crown Prince became even more wary of the Crown Princess.

After understanding the situation, Tian Ji stood firmly between Lian Shan Xin and the Crown Princess without any hesitation.

Of course, he still spoke politely: "Your Highness, I think Ah Xin is probably overworking himself. He was severely injured by Thousand Faces today, and activating 'Heavenly Eye' also took a toll on his mental strength, so he must be suffering from the backlash and urgently needs to rest."

"That's alright, I have some elixirs here that the Celestial Master personally refined to strengthen the body and nourish the vital energy."

The crown prince was born weak and was a frequent patient with medicine.

The Heavenly Physician refused to treat him, but the Crown Prince purchased a considerable amount of the elixirs refined by the Heavenly Master.

These are all highly sought-after items that would be fiercely contested by martial arts heroes in the martial arts world.

Seeing the Crown Prince so magnanimously continue to give Lian Shanxin drugs, the Crown Princess and Tian Ji both looked at him strangely.

Tian Ji thought to himself, "The allure of acquired charm is terrifying."

The Crown Princess was even more distressed about her marital assets: "That's enough. His injuries aren't that serious. Be careful not to overdo it."

The Crown Prince ignored the Crown Princess's words.

After noticing that Lian Shanxin's breathing was gradually stabilizing, the Crown Prince carried Lian Shanxin to the bed, then turned around and looked at the Crown Princess with a solemn expression: "Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"

The Crown Princess thought to herself, "I've kept so many things from you, I don't even know which one you're asking about."

"If Ah Xin speaks first, it could easily affect our marital relationship." The Crown Prince's tone already carried a hint of threat.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally realized that Lian Shanxin had discovered an incredible secret, which is why he reacted so strongly.

This is a secret that I probably don't know.

This made the crown prince feel that his authority had been violated.

Tian Ji could only tremble as he listened to the couple's conversation.

"Um... Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Tian Ji originally intended to take Lian Shan Xin with him.

But seeing how much the Crown Prince cared about Lianshan Xin, he changed his mind.

Let Ashin spend the night on the dragon's bed.

Who says that sleeping with the Crown Prince isn't a success?

As a member of the Yixin Society, Tian Ji was very happy for Lianshan Xin, feeling that his brother had found true love.

As brothers, we must support you.

Therefore, Tian Ji decisively fled.

The crown prince naturally did not object.

After Tian Ji left, the Crown Prince's gaze grew increasingly cold: "I need an explanation."

At this moment, the Crown Prince still exuded the oppressive aura of the ruler of the Eastern Palace, which surprised the Crown Princess.

"I never imagined that you would be at your most manly now," the Crown Princess remarked.

The Crown Prince hardened his fist: "Are you provoking me?"

"Alright, stop putting on airs in front of me."

The Crown Princess was merely surprised, not at all intimidated by the Crown Prince: "My father is still in power, and I'm pregnant with a child that's not even real. What? You dare to make me die suddenly in the Eastern Palace?"

At this point, the Crown Princess burst out laughing.

The Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty naturally possessed a formidable position.

However, this Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty was her husband, and he had never been able to maintain an erection in her presence. Expecting her to still show reverence for the Crown Prince was against human nature.

The Crown Princess was a normal person, so she naturally lost her awe of the Crown Prince.

This made the crown prince even more disgusted.

An ungrateful woman.

Compared to Ah-Xin, who risked his life to save him, he was far inferior.

If it weren't for her having a powerful father, the Crown Prince wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless. If Ah Xin reveals anything I don't know, not only you, but your whole family will pay the price."

The crown prince wasn't issuing a warning, but rather announcing: "Don't forget, you don't just have one daughter in your family."

The Crown Princess's expression turned serious: "Don't forget, Father Emperor has more than one son."

Click.

Outside the palace, thunder roared.

But then there was lightning and thunder, and strange phenomena appeared in the sky.

The atmosphere inside the palace was somber.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess looked at each other, but there was no trace of marital affection between them.

All that remained was mutual disgust and wariness.

The brightest and highest sun and moon, the closest and most distant couple.

When two people who don't love each other get married, it's bound to be a mess.

When one of these two people is the Crown Prince and the other is a noblewoman from a prominent family, they are destined to bring disaster to the country and its people.

In other words, the Crown Prince is currently just the Crown Prince.

If he were the emperor, chaos would immediately erupt in the harem of Yu the Great.

"You're very good." The crown prince's murderous intent was barely concealed.

The Crown Princess sneered, showing no fear: "Of course I'm fine, Your Highness. We are husband and wife. You actually listened to the instigation of outsiders and suspected me of plotting something. Even if Father were to judge this matter, he would only punish you."

“No outsiders have stirred up trouble, and Ashin hasn’t even said a word. Now, it is you who are trying to sow discord between me and Ashin.”

The Crown Prince, being quite intelligent, clearly pointed out the logical flaws in the Crown Princess's argument.

This caused the Crown Princess to pause in her speech.

Just then, Lian Shanxin, who had been given another bottle of pills, slowly woke up.

Although he still felt some pain in his body, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, and it seemed as if he had inexhaustible strength.

Even his cultivation level is faintly approaching the late stage of the True Intent Realm. What's going on?
In the short time it takes to sleep, it feels like I've been in seclusion for seven days.
Before even understanding his own physical condition, Lian Shanxin witnessed the nearly irreconcilable conflict between the Eastern Palace couple.

"Ah-Xin, you're awake? How are you feeling?"

The Crown Prince immediately expressed his concern for Lian Shanxin.

This unusually enthusiastic display caused the Crown Princess to furrow her brows.

The Crown Prince... could it be that because he's been incompetent for too long, he's changed his mind and started to like men?
For Yu the Great, this kind of thing was not unusual.

She just couldn't accept it.

It would be too embarrassing for her if word got out.

Of course, at this moment, the Crown Princess naturally forgot that she had almost fallen in love with Qi Shiyun.

Lian Shanxin glanced at the Crown Princess again, took a deep breath, and said to the Crown Prince, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am not in any serious health problems. Just now... I discovered some of the Crown Princess's secrets."

A murderous glint flashed in the Crown Princess's eyes: "Lian Shanxin, you need to be careful what you say."

The Crown Prince was furious: "You have no right to threaten Ah Xin in front of me. Ah Xin, speak freely, and I will stand up for you no matter what you say."

Lian Shanxin shook his head inwardly, feeling that the Crown Princess was really out of touch with reality.

Come and lick my boots.

With both you and the Crown Prince fawning over me, I will definitely support you.

Unfortunately, you dare to threaten this prince.

The road is narrow.

Look at the Crown Prince's attitude; otherwise, how could he have become the Crown Prince?

The stark contrast in their attitudes made Lian Shanxin no longer hesitate and directly stand on the Crown Prince's side.

"The Crown Princess is indeed carrying a child!"

Lian Shanxin's words were earth-shattering!
Only the thunder outside the palace resounded ever more loudly throughout the capital city.

A moment later, the crown prince flew into a rage: "You wretch, you dare to steal someone, you're asking for death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crown prince drew his sword, ready to kill his wife to prove his Dao.

The Crown Princess's face turned ashen: "Your Highness, please let me explain. I faked my pregnancy; it was Your Highness's plan."

"So you, you slut, have made your lie come true. No wonder even the head of the Imperial Hospital personally took your pulse and congratulated me on having an heir. I thought... it turns out you really are pregnant with my child behind my back. You slut, prepare to die."

The crown prince could not bear such humiliation.

Lian Shanxin could completely understand the Crown Prince. Even though the Crown Prince also slept with the Blood Guanyin outside, people are all hypocritical.

This is not gender-specific.

Seeing that the Crown Prince was truly intent on killing, and after the Crown Princess turned pale, Lian Shanxin finally spoke up and stopped the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, please calm down. There is more to this matter than meets the eye."

The Crown Princess's words could not dissuade the Crown Prince.

But when Lian Shanxin spoke, the Crown Prince stopped what he was doing.

"What secret is there? Do you think this slut's pregnancy is for my sake?"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess may not have been unfaithful."

The Crown Princess looked at Lian Shanxin with surprise and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you weren't lying after all. Not only did I not commit adultery, I don't even have a child."

No, you really do have a child.

Crown Princess: "?"

"This is a long story, Your Highness, Crown Princess. Are you hiding something from me?"

Lian Shanxin's expression turned serious: "Your Highness, we hit it off immediately. If I were to say what I'm about to say, you might kill me to silence me. But for your safety and future, Your Highness, I must speak."

The Crown Prince was deeply moved: "Ah Xin, you have saved my life today. How could I repay kindness with enmity? Please tell me what's wrong."

Lian Shanxin remained cautious: "Your Highness, are there any spies in the Eastern Palace? This secret must never be known to a fourth person."

"Don't worry about that. Although the Crown Prince's palace has spies, no one will approach my bedchamber. Otherwise, I will kill them on sight."

Clearly, the Crown Prince has control over the Eastern Palace.

Lian Shanxin was relieved: "Is the Crown Princess practicing a special cultivation technique?"

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess were both startled. They exchanged a glance, and the Crown Princess exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be because of the cultivation technique? It was given to me by the Crown Prince."

She was the first to shift the blame.

The prince's expression changed slightly: "Ah Xin, did your Heavenly Eye detect a problem with that technique?"

The Crown Prince felt that it made perfect sense that the demonic sect's magical arts were backed by conspiracies and schemes.

The cultivation method was given to the Crown Princess to practice, while the Crown Prince himself had his own inherited immortal arts, so he didn't bother to care.

But now, Lian Shanxin's words have made the Crown Prince take them seriously.

"There's a big problem, Your Highness. May I ask if that cultivation technique originated from the Demonic Sect?"

"You can even tell that?"

The Crown Princess changed her opinion of Lian Shanxin.

This "Sky Eye" really does have something.

The crown prince, however, felt it was only natural.

If Ashin didn't have this ability, how could he see through the disguise of a thousand faces?

At this moment, he was 90% convinced by Lian Shanxin: "Ah Xin, I won't lie to you, that technique is indeed a secret art of the Demonic Sect. It's laughable that Xue Guanyin tried to win me over to be the Demonic Sect's backer. I will inherit the throne one day, who would care about those dirty things from the Demonic Sect? I only use them to help me find the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."

He knew Lian Shanxin wouldn't believe him, but he believed Lian Shanxin would pretend to believe him.

Politics is about saying things that nobody believes.

Lian Shanxin did not hesitate. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, could you please tell me the name of that cultivation technique?"

"The Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Nectar." The Crown Prince revealed it without hesitation.

"really."

"What do you mean? Ah-Xin, have you heard of this martial art?"

"No, but I suspect it's the most powerful technique of the Demonic Sect, or even a legacy of immortal arts."

"Ah Xin, you are indeed intelligent." The Crown Prince admired Lian Shanxin even more: "You guessed right. The 'Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Netherworld Manual' is a demonic cult's immortal technique. Only the successive leaders of the cult can cultivate it, and it is not circulated in the martial arts world. The demonic cult has indeed gone to great lengths to win me over."

"Your Highness, the Demonic Sect is plotting to frame you and the Crown Princess."

Lian Shanxin said with great distress: "Please read the name of this magic technique again."

"The Mysterious Yin Secret Cultivation of the Demonic Embryo: The Netherworld Scripture"? Demonic Embryo?

The prince was startled.

The Crown Princess, her hands pressed against her lower abdomen, was deathly pale and swaying precariously: "What do you mean? I've conceived a demonic fetus while practicing this technique? You can get pregnant while practicing this technique?"

Lian Shanxin was also realizing this for the first time.

For the previous eighteen years, he was just a naive young man from Jiangzhou City. This trip to the capital city truly broadened his horizons.

"The inheritance of immortal arts is naturally wondrous. I have heard that in ancient times, some people dreamed that the sun entered their belly and became pregnant, some people were able to conceive children by exchanging breaths, and some people were pregnant for three years and six months and gave birth to a demon pill."

Lian Shanxin looked at the Crown Princess with sympathy in his eyes: "I always thought these were ancient legends. Now it seems that even if they are exaggerated, they are probably all true. Compared with these legends, getting pregnant through practicing martial arts seems quite normal."

The world of cultivation is something those who don't cultivate certainly wouldn't understand.

Lian Shanxin is a cultivator of immortality; he understands.

Killing dragons can increase one's strength, so what's so special about getting pregnant while practicing martial arts?
The Crown Prince was persuaded by Lian Shanxin: "Damn the Demonic Sect, they actually want the Crown Princess to bear a demonic child for them, it's outrageous, do they want to rebel?"

Lian Shanxin was amused by the Crown Prince and kindly reminded him, "Your Highness, the Demonic Sect is nothing but a bunch of traitors."

Prince: "..."

He was so angry he lost his mind.

"Your Highness, the Demonic Sect's plans may not end there."

At this point, Lian Shanxin's expression turned serious: "Crown Princess, come forward."

Even knowing that no one was eavesdropping in the Eastern Palace, Shan Xin was still somewhat uneasy about what he was about to say.

But he practiced the Dragon Subduing Immortal Technique.

The bigger the storm, the faster the strength can be improved.

For him, anything related to deities was both a great danger and a great opportunity.

He decided to participate.

The Crown Princess involuntarily stepped forward, and then heard Lian Shanxin whisper, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, do you think the Demonic Church believes you will fulfill your promises to them after the deed is done?"

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess shook their heads in unison.

It's like trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin; everyone knows how fragile this alliance is.

It's just a matter of who uses what.

"I don't think the Demonic Sect is that naive; they must have a backup plan. Your Highness, Crown Princess, have you considered how the Demonic Sect intends to accomplish their scheme to seize the country?"

The Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess's belly: "Relying on this demonic fetus? The Demonic Sect is far too naive. How could I give this demonic fetus such an opportunity?"

"But what if it's a demonic fetus, Your Highness, and you can't kill it?"

"Ah-Xin, what do you mean by that?"

"Your Highness, are you aware of the slogans used by the Demonic Cult to deceive the world?"

"Maitreya descends to earth, and the Bright King is born. Wait, Ashin, what do you mean?"

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess both trembled.

The prince's voice even began to tremble.

Lian Shanxin's voice grew increasingly low: "Could Maitreya be in the Crown Princess's belly right now?"

The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were instantly drenched in sweat.

Lian Shanxin continued his speculation: "With the strength of the Demonic Sect, it is wishful thinking to think that they can overthrow our Great Yu. Let alone dealing with the entire imperial court, the Demonic Sect is no match for even the heavens."

Although both the Thousand Faces and the Blood Guanyin are constantly demonstrating their high level of expertise, they are worthy of their status as grandmasters.

However, Lian Shanxin still believed that Jiutian was clearly superior.

Heavenly calculations do not include divination.

The Heavenly Physician does not treat illnesses.

This is true strength.

Compared to them, whether it's the Thousand Faces or the Blood Guanyin, they are still just hardworking oxen and horses.

So here's the question: if they can't even defeat the Nine Heavens, where does the Demonic Sect get the confidence to overthrow Yu the Great?

Lianshan Xin assumed that the higher-ups of the Demonic Sect were not fools.

You need to have some confidence at least.

Lianshan Xin didn't know where the Demonic Sect's confidence came from.

Now, he has some guesses.

"If the Demonic Cult wants to overthrow Yu the Great, there is only one way—the strongest fortress is always the easiest to breach from within. Your Highness, what if Maitreya, whom the Demonic Cult worships, becomes the ruler of Yu the Great?"

The prince shuddered: "Ah Xin, your speculation makes a lot of sense. The affairs of immortals cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

At this point, the Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess's belly, his eyes filled with solemnity: "No matter what, we cannot let this demonic fetus be born."

"I'm afraid it's too late to abort it," Lian Shanxin said worriedly. "After all, this wasn't a normally born child, so medication probably won't be very effective."

"I will go and beg my father." The Crown Prince gritted his teeth. "Father must have a way. If all else fails, I will ask my father to ask a deity for help."

Lian Shanxin pursed his lips.

The royal family truly has divine intervention.

This open secret was confirmed by the Crown Prince.

"No." The Crown Princess resolutely rejected the Crown Prince's suggestion: "Your Highness, if you ask the Emperor for help, it will inevitably expose your connection with the Blood Guanyin. At that time, your position as Crown Prince will be in jeopardy."

The prince broke out in a cold sweat.

He almost forgot that Blood Guanyin and his father had a past affair.

He and the Blood Guanyin also slept in a vegetarian bed.

He really couldn't reveal it himself, otherwise the Crown Prince would judge him by his own standards, and Emperor Yongchang would definitely depose him.

He had far too many younger brothers and sisters; Emperor Yongchang had plenty of backup options.

"Then what should we do? I would rather sacrifice myself than let the Demonic Sect overthrow my Great Yu Kingdom." The Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess.

He hoped that the Crown Princess could be more sensible.

The Crown Princess glared at the Crown Prince, then sighed, "I'll go and beg Father. Tell him that Blood Guanyin secretly found me and forced me to cultivate the 'Mysterious Yin Secret Nurturing Demon Embryo Netherworld Scripture.' My strength is too weak to refuse, but fortunately, I have the 'Heavenly Eye' to see through everything and bring me back from the wrong path. Your Highness, you must protect me afterward and absolutely not let my family be implicated, otherwise I will surely perish with you."

The Crown Prince was moved: "Don't worry, we are a couple who have been through thick and thin together. I will never abandon you."

"I hope Your Highness will keep your word." The Crown Princess acted swiftly, turning around directly: "The longer it goes on, the more things might go wrong. I'll go find Father Emperor now. Maitreya... Damn it, how did I get involved in this battle of gods?"

The Crown Princess hurriedly left the East Palace, her departing figure showing a hint of panic.

"Ah-Xin, thanks to you."

The crown prince grasped Lian Shanxin's hand, still shaken.

The struggle for the throne has suddenly become so difficult that it's like a battle between gods, and neither the Crown Prince nor his wife can keep up with the intensity.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Dragon-Raising Hall.

Emperor Yongchang waved away his attendants.

"What business do you have with me?"

The Crown Princess hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Father, the child in my belly may not be yours."

　You readers are so twisted! The first 7000 words of this chapter were my original outline, but a bunch of you started guessing that the Crown Princess and the top-ranked reader were having an affair, which corrupted me. I had to add a new setting at the last minute to satisfy you perverts. Sigh, I'm just too innocent; I can't keep up with your filthy thoughts at all.
