Jiujiu was only willing to be with him last month. He didn't expect that they would have a child after just one time. He was about to turn 30 and he actually had a child with Jiujiu. Zhou Haiqing was extremely happy. If they weren't in the palace, he would have jumped up and somersaulted a few times to express his joy.
Zhou Haiqing hugged Jiujiu's arm even more carefully.
He didn't even drink the full month banquet of the twins and went straight home.
In the beginning, the Crown Prince was indeed very angry about Jiujiu's pregnancy. However, when he calmed down, he suddenly remembered that he had drugged Zhou Haiqing with Drunken Spring Breeze. Drunken Spring Breeze was used to deal with secret guards. Just a little bit would have a very magical effect. According to the time, even if the kitchen maid was discovered, Zhou Haiqing's drug couldn't be removed. Therefore, he should be as impotent as himself. Why …
The Crown Prince originally thought that Zhou Haiqing was pretending to be happy. However, the Imperial Physician's words and Zhou Haiqing's joy clearly indicated that the child in Jiujiu's stomach was Zhou Haiqing's.
The Crown Prince's eyes instantly became fervent.
If, if Zhou Haiqing could have a child, then he …
Thinking of this result, the Crown Prince's eyes instantly lit up. His original intention to deal with Zhou Haiqing became even more urgent.
Zhou Haiqing was a stubborn person. He had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. He didn't care about benefits at all. The only thing he could do was to give him a head-on blow and let him know what fear was.
Wanting to get the secret formula of the Drunken Spring Breeze antidote from Zhou Haiqing was no different from pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth. Unless he could beat him to the ground, Zhou Haiqing would definitely not reveal the secret formula of the antidote.
The Crown Prince originally wanted to wait until his foundation was stable before dealing with Zhou Haiqing. However, now that he knew that Zhou Haiqing had the antidote to the Drunken Spring Breeze, he was immediately moved.
The Crown Prince didn't wait for the full month banquet of the twins to end. He immediately gathered his confidants to discuss how to deal with Zhou Haiqing.
Zhou Haiqing held military power. He had to do his best to capture Zhou Haiqing in his hands without leaving any traces. By the time Zhou Haiqing's subordinates reacted, Zhou Haiqing would already be in his bag.
The Crown Prince and his aides discussed in low voices for an entire night. It wasn't until the morning of the second day that they came up with a concrete plan. Although it was physically and mentally exhausting, the Crown Prince felt that it was worth it.
He had never felt that it was so worth it. When he thought about how he could get rid of the Drunken Spring Breeze on his body as long as he could capture Zhou Haiqing, he became excited.
The Crown Prince's plan was very crude, but it was very useful.
Now that there was no war at the border, although Zhou Haiqing held great power, there were still a certain number of guards in the General's Manor. As long as the Crown Prince was willing, he would be quick, accurate, and ruthless. He would not have to wait for Zhou Haiqing to contact his subordinates to take him down quickly.
The Crown Prince relied on the fact that he had more than a hundred secret guards and made his move three days later.
It was as if even the weather was helping him. On the night of the attack, the weather was gloomy. There was no moon and no stars. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed as if it was about to fall into an endless darkness. The Crown Prince watched the secret guard enter. After a while, he received news that Zhou Haiqing was under his control. Only then did the Crown Prince walk in with satisfaction.
However, the scene inside stunned the Crown Prince.
The secret guards he sent to capture Zhou Haiqing were all standing behind Zhou Haiqing. Before the Crown Prince could react, the leader of the secret guards, who had been standing behind him to protect him, kicked him in the knee. The Crown Prince stumbled and fell to his knees with a thud in front of Zhou Haiqing.
Without waiting for him to get up, the leader of the secret guards pressed down on his head and forced him to kowtow three times.
The Crown Prince had always knelt to the heavens, earth, and his parents. The rest of the time, it was others who knelt to him. Today, he was actually forced to kowtow to Zhou Haiqing. The Crown Prince immediately became anxious. His head turned red and the veins on his forehead popped out.
However, the Crown Prince's thoughts were strange and sinister. His martial arts skills were very ordinary. No matter how hard he struggled, he was still forced to kowtow by the secret guard.
The Crown Prince's face darkened. He glared angrily at Zhou Haiqing and said fiercely, "Zhou Haiqing, you are rebelling."
Zhou Haiqing slowly picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip. Only then did he raise his head to look at the Crown Prince. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, "Then what is Your Majesty doing? Silencing me? "
The Crown Prince was speechless. His face turned purple and he couldn't say anything specific.
Zhou Haiqing laughed coldly, "Your Majesty, you really only allow the officials to set fires and not allow the commoners to light lamps. Only you are allowed to silence me and not allow me to retaliate. Who gave you face? Hmm ~ "
Being scolded by Zhou Haiqing, the Crown Prince immediately became anxious, "Zhou Haiqing, you are too presumptuous."
"Presumptuous? The more presumptuous is yet to come. " Zhou Haiqing took out a small piece of paper from his pocket and opened it bit by bit, "This is the antidote for the Drunken Spring Breeze. Your Majesty, you came here for this, right?"
The Crown Prince's face changed. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Zhou Haiqing smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, are you curious as to why I am fine after being poisoned by the Drunken Spring Breeze?"
The Crown Prince's ears twitched.
"Because, I met a godly doctor. He gave me a prescription and I used this prescription to make a deal with His Majesty's secret guards."
Secret guards were trained from a young age. As long as there were no accidents, they would be 100% loyal. However, the problem was that the previous Emperor was too absolute. He was afraid that someone would betray him, so he developed the Drunken Spring Breeze.
However, how could a person's mind be tested?
Whether or not the secret guards would marry and have children was one thing. But if you took away their right to marry and have children from the beginning, that was another thing.
The Crown Prince was so anxious after being poisoned by the Drunken Spring Breeze. What about the secret guards?
Did they not feel uncomfortable at all?
How could that be?
Therefore, Zhou Haiqing used Jiujiu's prescription to make a deal with the secret guards. As long as they stood on his side, he would help them remove the Drunken Spring Breeze and return their freedom.
The shadow guards were originally responsible for murder and arson. Moreover, they had sacrificed too much and received too little in return. The Crown Prince often did not treat them as humans. Now, not only could Zhou Haiqing help them get rid of the Drunken Spring Breeze, he was also willing to return their freedom. Who would not be willing? Therefore, almost without thinking, the shadow guards stood on Zhou Haiqing's side.
The Crown Prince's mistake was that he was too confident. He thought that as long as he was in control, nothing would change.
But what he didn't know was that the human heart was complicated. Just a little emotion could cause hundreds of subtle changes. Not to mention the secret guards who tied their lives to their belts.
The Crown Prince lost.
In his previous life, Zhou Haiqing became the Emperor. In this life, Zhou Haiqing didn't have the slightest intention of becoming the Emperor. Therefore.
The next day, everyone realized that the situation had changed.
The previous Emperor's cause of death had been reversed. The Crown Prince, who was originally the most innocent, was the instigator of everything. Even Xue Bitao's miscarriage was his doing.
