[BL] Didn't Love You Enough

Chapter 3.1 - Poison

At the evening, XuanYuan Han Cheng brought Yuan Fu along, and the two of them went to the Empress's Residential Palace, Yongshou Palace, amidst the night.

When XuanYuan Han Cheng arrived at Yongshou Palace, the Emperor and the Empress had just finished dinner, and they were chatting together over tea.

After experiencing a lifetime, once again seeing his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother, XuanYuan Han Cheng felt a burst of sorrow and grief in his heart.

XuanYuan Han Cheng's Imperial Father and Imperial Mother had known each other from earlier on and supported each other during the battle for the throne. He has always been envious of the feelings between his parents.

His Imperial Father only has a total of five sons, among which two are the Empress's children and the other three are the concubines' children. His Imperial Father, because of his own experience, is evidently upright among his princes. From earlier on, he had already established him as the apparent heir to the throne, and very attentively taught him. As the different between the ages of Empress's children and the concubines' children are comparatively large, the concubines' children were born after his Imperial Father's enthronement and after the draft in order to stabilize the Imperial Court. His younger siblings, from young, had already been instilled with thoughts to be loyal to the monarch and love the country. Until the moment he went through rebirth, they were also very content and distinguished, seeming to not be a threat towards him. From all these, it can clearly explain his Imperial Father's affection towards Imperial Mother, his Imperial Father's attentiveness towards him.

The Empress saw the Crown Prince suddenly come over at night, before even asking the question, she was shocked by XuanYuan Han Cheng's action.

"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother....." XuanYuan Han Cheng refused to say a word as he advances then prior, kowtowed to the floor three times, facing them.

"Cheng Er, what is this going on with you?" The Empress felt that XuanYuan Han Cheng is somewhat not in the proper condition today. "It's already so late, what are you...?"

*Cheng er = its like how your parent call you by another nickname or a shorten ver. of your own name

The Emperor sensing that XuanYuan Han Cheng had some matter to say, waved for the palace servants to withdraw.

With only the three of them remaining, the Emperor faced XuanYuan Han Cheng and inquired: "Is there any matter?"

XuanYuan Han Cheng told his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother everything from him discovering about Xu XueYing's palace maid poisoning him with a poison which will hinder the conception of heirs to the fact that this matter was caused by Li Wang together with the Crown Prince Consort and including those matter which he discovered from his previous life

"Imperial Father and Imperial Mother, er chen is not filial, unable to defend oneself, unable to clearly distinguish people, er chen is guilty!" XuanYuan Han Cheng said to them as he chokes up with emotions.

evidence, he can't even make a move against Xue Jia and on the other hands, it will cause more inconvenience. This son of his has always been his pride. When he was a teenager, he accomplished an impressive meritorious deed in the military and even progressively gotten more mature in handling government affairs. He did not expect that such a careless mistake would appear concerning his heirs and his harem.

"Alright then, from tomorrow onward, you will go to the Northern Camp."

"Thanking Imperial Father, er chen will certainly not refuse the mission." His Imperial Father, nevertheless, had continued to trust him as before, XuanYuan Han Cheng was extremely moved.

Exiting from Yongshou Palace, XuanYuan Han Cheng told Yuan Fu, who was waiting for him, "Let's go back to the palace." Looking at the starry sky, XuanYuan Han Cheng released a sigh of relief. After persuading his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother, everything is finally altering according to his ideas.

For a lot of people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Xu XueYing heard that her Head Palace Maid was punished, and the news that she was being confined, almost fainted.

She didn't understand where she slipped-up. His Royal Highness had always favored her, when it comes to seeking favor, she also frequently present soup to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince had always said that she was wife material and considerate, and most of time, he will go to her place after drinking the soup.

Unexpectedly confining her now, this has never happened before. It's a pity that she did not manage to inquire any information, it truly make her anxious to death.

"Xiao Lizi, you go and check it out for me." Xu XueYing was somewhat worried about the eunuchs around her; not knowing if they had, in fact, discovered what she had done to Concubine Yu.

Think about it again, comfort herself, its not possible, she had already got them to cleanly handle it. Leaving no clues whatsoever, moreover, if His Royal Highness really found out that she has harmed the royal heir, it ought not be as simple as confinement only.

In the palace of the Crown Prince Consort, the Crown Prince Consort, Xue Cai Yu, was also worriedly inquiring her trusted confidant, Wang momo,"Bi Zhu there wouldn't be..."

"It won't, niangniang. Upon investigation, we discovered that when Bi Zhu was seeking favor for Concubine Xu, she accidentally collided with the Crown Prince, that's why she was punished by the Crown Prince."

*momo = the palace title for a nanny or a really old granny who took care of you or is in charge of taking care of you
*niangniang = the formal royal way of servant addressing any consort in the harem

"Alright, then Bi Zhu's family also has to be deal with it properly," said the Crown Prince Consort.

"Nuo. Niangniang please rest assured, it will certainly be handled appropriately." Wang momo answered, patting her chest.

What they did not know was that the entire Crown Prince Consort's Palace has already been contained. Each and every of their move was monitored by a shadow guard, and whatsoever information would already be incapable to relay out.

XuanYuan Han Cheng, from the beginning of the second day, apart from attending the Imperial Court in the morning and assisting Imperial Father to handle a few government affairs, he is often at the Northern Camp, most of the time, together with the generals, studying military strategy and tactics and intensifying the soldiers' training. Although the days passed are tiresome and exhausting, but his heart feels enriched.

Whenever XuanYuan Han Cheng recall that his baby would enter the palace in less than a month's time, he could not suppress his excitement. In this lifetime, he must properly plan it so that his baby will be able to arrive to his side once more.

Just as XuanYuan Han Cheng was counting the awaiting days, Lin Jia Village had also received a major news that the palace is recruiting palace servants, entering the palace. At this moment, Lin JiaBao still did not know that this will be the news that changed the fate of his life.
