4 Times married to my enemy

Chapter Two : She is a formidable opponent that Shuhuai had to take seriously

Chapter Two

Because she was born a royal princess, Zhao Peng paid special attention to her younger brother when she inherited Qin Peng's memories.

Qin Peng's mother was quite peculiar. She had received favor in her early years due to her beauty, which led to the birth of Qin Peng. When Qin Peng was sixteen, she received favor again due to the influence of Qin Peng's husband, Wei Yang, which resulted in the birth of Qin Peng's younger brother, the youngest prince, Qin Ming.

Because he was born too late, the Crown Prince was already close to thirty years old, while Qin Ming was only nine years old. Therefore, no one thought that Qin Ming posed any threat. However, due to the Empress's jealousy of the favored beauty, she used some means to send the beauty and Qin Ming out of the palace to guard the imperial tomb.

Qin Peng lived peacefully in the Huguo Temple, focused on practicing Buddhism, and had little interaction with this younger brother. They only met a few times during the New Year or other palace events. But because Zhao Peng had just deliberately recalled memories of Qin Ming, she immediately recognized him when Qin Ming appeared.

Since Qin Ming was not at the imperial tomb at the moment, it must mean something significant had happened. Although Zhao Peng was determined to return to Beiyen, the precondition was that she had to return alive.

Zhao Peng looked at Dong You's face and asked coldly, "What's going on?"

Dong You was slightly stunned, realizing that Zhao Peng's demeanor had changed. In the past, Zhao Peng had always been submissive. He had been worried about Zhao Peng being timid and afraid of trouble when he brought Qin Ming over. But now, seeing Zhao Peng's calm demeanor, Dong You felt a bit relieved and immediately said, "The Third Prince rebelled earlier, and together with the Empress, besieged the palace. Your Highness must have known about it, right?"

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Peng felt anger rising in her heart.

Known about it?

For such a major event, Zhao Peng truly knew absolutely nothing!

It seemed that she had become a fool from practicing Buddhism, living peacefully in the Huguo Temple and ignoring everything.

But it wasn't the time to investigate. She sat in her chair, her gaze on Qin Ming, and said calmly, "Just tell me what happened."

"Last night, Prince Huai'an broke into the palace. This morning, the old people in the palace came to report that the Empress set fire to the harem and burned all the imperial sons to death. Now, only the Sixteenth Prince is left of His Majesty's bloodline. The Empress speculated that if Prince Huai'an really wanted to rebel, the little prince might not be safe, so she thought of sending the little prince to you..."

As Dong You spoke, he glanced at Zhao Peng discreetly. He saw Zhao Peng's calm expression, devoid of panic, not at all as he had imagined in a state of confusion.

Dong You's heart skipped a beat, unable to discern Zhao Peng's intentions for a moment. He immediately knelt down anxiously and said, "Your Highness, the Empress really has no other choice. The little prince is your younger brother. If even you don't care about him, no one else can protect him."

"I want to take care of him too."

Zhao Peng took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. "But can I handle it? You know I'm his sister, but does Prince Huai'an know?"

As Zhao Peng thought of this name, she couldn't help but feel a slight disturbance in her heart. But she suppressed her mixed thoughts and focused on figuring out what to do now.
