Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Empress Xiao was smart and sensible. After she got married, she had always upheld the family motto of treating her husband as the world. In addition, Xie Yilong was also an outstanding person, and they had been getting along well for so many years. However, those women gradually started to give birth to a prince. Their children even threatened Xie Chi’s status as the crown prince. Finally, Empress Xiao could not sit back anymore.

Every woman, even the weakest woman, could turn into a ferocious beast when it came to protecting their child. Moreover, Empress Xiao was not a weak white rabbit. For her to become the most outstanding girl in a family like the Xiao family, she naturally had her own strength. She began to fight back fiercely.

To be able to survive the chaotic days with Emperor Xiaowu, Empress Xiao’s ability was naturally not to be underestimated. How could those delicate women who grew up in the incubator compare to her? They were destined to be humiliated. Empress Xiao won every battle. The dominance and intelligence she displayed shocked those women, and for a moment, no one dared to go against her.

However, someone as smart as Empress Xiao would also make a mistake. The more outstanding she performed, the more Emperor Xiaowu felt uncomfortable.

Emperor Xiaowu became more and more wary of her and even started to think of ways to find fault with her. At first, he only found a few opponents for Empress Xiao in the harem and watched them fight. However, towards the end, he would subconsciously side with the other. Everything Empress Xiao did was wrong. He also began to directly suppress the Xiao family without rhyme or reason.

Empress Xiao felt very sad, but in the end, she still thought that Emperor Xiaowu was her husband. No one would make a mistake at some point in their life. She just had to protect her status and let Xie Chi grow up safely and take over the throne.

Who knew that those women would have designs on Xie Chi?

At that time, Emperor Xiaowu suddenlv became affectionate with Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao didn’t know why, but not long after, Prime Minister Xiao suddenly took the initiative to resign.

Xie Yilong was indeed a very scheming person. Although the Xiao family was ruthless, they were not as ruthless as Xie Yilong. It wasn’t easy for the Xiao family to raise a daughter who eventually became an empress. For this empress, the Xiao family did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves.

When Empress Xiao found out about this, it was already too late. She knew that Xie Yilong’s sudden affection towards her was just a scheme and she felt extremely disgusted. However, she did not expect to be pregnant.

The child in her stomach was different from Xie Chi. The child came to this world because of Xie Yilong’s deliberate schemes. When Empress Xiao was pregnant, she often thought that if the child was a son, she had to prevent him from becoming someone like his father. He could be ambitious and could come up with ideas to get what he wanted, but he must not use people and play with people’s hearts. That was the most despicable and the most shameless thing.

After getting pregnant, Empress Xiao was very vulnerable in the harem. She did not expect someone to have designs on Xie Chi at this time.

Xie Chi was drugged.

If not for the fact that the Gao family’s head and Prime Minister Xiao were old friends and the Gao family’s head personally came forward to help, Xie Chi would probably not have survived that time. Although he had survived that time, the Gao family’s head also said that the poison had already entered his organs and that Xie Chi would not live to be 35 years old. Moreover, this poison would affect his children. In the future, if Xie Chi had a child, the child would inevitably have a connate deficiency.

The head of the Gao family was a divine doctor in the world and trusted by the royal family..
