Early the next morning.

As soon as Xiong Huai opened his eyes, he was about to get up, but he suddenly felt a little heavy in his body, and when he looked down, he saw that Mrs. Song was half-lying on top of him, sleeping very sweetly.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai smiled dotingly, not wanting to disturb Mrs. Song's sleep, so he gently moved his body and prepared to get up and change clothes by himself.

But as soon as Xiong Huai moved, Mrs. Song immediately woke up.

"The king has woken up, and the concubines are waiting for the king... Vomiting··· Woo"

Before Mrs. Song finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth, then turned around and retched.

"Woo..."

Xiong Huai, as the father of several children, was slightly stunned when he saw this, and waited for Mrs. Song to stop, then hugged Mrs. Song from behind, and then caressed Mrs. Song's abdomen through his clothes, and asked very expectantly: "Madam, are you here, or are you sick?" ”

"This..." Mrs. Song leaned tightly on Xiong Huai's chest, and said with some expectation: "The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine didn't come last month..."

Xiong Huai was stunned, and immediately said with joy: "Someone, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Soon, after a doctor diagnosed Mrs. Song, he was overjoyed and congratulated Xiong Huai: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, Mrs. Song is happy!" ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he pulled his beard vigorously and laughed: "Okay, good, it's really a great event, heavy reward, deserve heavy reward!" Reward the imperial doctor with 100 gold. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai was overjoyed and said: "Pass the order, Mrs. Song is happy, today all the guards in the palace will reward three pieces of meat and a pot of wine." The servants and maids in the palace, everyone will appreciate a piece of meat, and the widow will rejoice with everyone! ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all thanked him and said, "Thank you, congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." ”

At this time, Xiong Huai walked into the inner room, looked at Mrs. Song who was still lying on the bed, and said with a happy smile: "Madam, a great joy, a great joy, congratulations!" Congratulations! ”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she was overjoyed in her heart, but she said with disgust on her face: "King, this is not the first time that the king has a child, why make such a big fanfare!" Sister Qin, they knew that they were going to blame the concubine. ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and smiled: "Hey, it's okay, it's okay." This time is different, before the widow was happy for himself, but this time, the widow was happy for his wife. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Mrs. Song and sighed: "The widow is old, and the widow has always had a heart disease before, that is, once the widow is unfortunate and leaves Mrs. alone, what should I do..."

Saying that, Xiong Huai said with relief: "Now that Mrs. is happy, the widow is finally relieved, as long as Mrs. can give birth to a son and a half daughter, then Mrs. will have something to rely on for the rest of her life." If you are a widow..."

"Why did the king say this!" As soon as Mrs. Song heard that the King of Chu was going to say something unlucky, she immediately interrupted complainingly: "The king is still prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, why ······ it?"

Just when Xiong Huai and Mrs. Song were whispering, Mrs. Song was happy, and the news that the king of Chu issued an edict to celebrate quickly spread from the palace to Shouchun City, and then spread from Shouying to all parts of the country at a very fast speed.

When the people in the country heard this, they all spontaneously congratulated the king of Chu and blessed Mrs. Song. When the ministers of the court heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and since then they no longer doubt the age and health of the king of Chu.

And the nobles in the country heard it, and there were those who celebrated, sighed, and hated.

Prince's Mansion.

Princess Wei is personally serving the prince with medicine.

At this time, Princess Wei saw that although the prince's eyes were slightly energetic, her eyes were still full of exhaustion.

So, Princess Wei thought about it and decided to share the happy events in the palace with the prince, which also made the prince happy.

Thinking about it, after Princess Wei fed a mouthful of medicine, she said with a smile: "Prince, when the concubine just went out to get the medicine, she heard a great joy from the people in the palace, and the prince will be happy when he hears it." ”

"Oh!" The prince replied indifferently.

Then, when he saw the joy in Princess Wei's eyes, he knew that his state had affected Princess Wei again, so he cheered up and took the initiative to ask, "What kind of happy event is it?" Tell me about it too? ”

Princess Wei saw that Prince Heng took the initiative to care about other things, and she was overjoyed, and immediately scooped up a spoonful of decoction, and said with a smile while feeding Prince Heng: "Prince, just now there was news in the palace that Mrs. Song is pregnant, and the king is very happy, not only rewarding the palace guards, but also rewarding the palace slaves!" ”

"What? Mrs. Song is pregnant! The prince was shocked, and then he bounced directly from the side of the half-leaning bed, and then sat down on the bed in a daze

。 He didn't even notice that the medicine bowl in Princess Wei's hand fell to the ground.

At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about Mrs. Song's pregnancy.

Mrs. Song is pregnant...

Liar... Liar... All of them are liars, not only the ministers are lying to me, but even my father is also lying to me!

Say that you are old, say that your body is not as good as before, and say that your life is not long!

It's all deception.

A sixtieth old man, if he is really not in good health, his life is short, how can he let a woman get pregnant!

At this time, the crown prince suddenly remembered the father he had seen yesterday.

Yesterday's father's hair was still black, his beard was still black, and even his face had very few wrinkles.

That's it, who can say he's old!

Then, the crown prince thought of himself again, it seemed that since he turned thirty, although he still often had sex with his wife and concubine in the house, he had no children for more than ten years.

Now he is forty years old, but he only has a son-in-law and a concubine.

Compared with his father, his heart suddenly sank, and he sank to a low point.

Mrs. Song is pregnant, and her father can still make a woman pregnant, who can say that her father is not in good health?

Thinking about it, the prince raised his hand horizontally and looked at his right hand.

What kind of hand is this? It's a somewhat thin hand, it's a somewhat cold hand.

Then, Prince Heng touched his heart with his right hand.

The hands are cold, and the heart is even colder.

At this time, Prince Heng suddenly felt a panic.

If yes... In case... I died before my father, that...

Nope...

The prince thought of Gongzi Ziqing and Gongzi coming, and his heart suddenly sank.

I have paid so much for the state of Chu, and I have even been saddled with the notoriety of being unfilial and unkind, how can I die in front of my father!

I have been the crown prince for thirty, I am the next prince of course, how can I die of illness before I ascend the throne, how can I die in front of my father!

I have a son to ascend to the throne, and how can I die before my father now?"

Thinking of this, the prince felt anxious, and then, his heart became hot and beat violently, and then the heat in his heart instantly flowed down the blood all over his body.

At this moment, Prince Heng suddenly felt that he had come to life.

At this moment, Prince Heng suddenly felt that his father's misunderstanding and complaining were not important.

At this moment, the crown prince suddenly felt that the contempt of the ministers, the calculations of the nobles, and the opinions of the people were all unimportant.

At this moment, the crown prince had only one thought in his heart, that is, he must not die in front of his father.

Even if he dies one day late, he will pass on this country that he has spent decades of his youth, hard work, and dreams to his son Gongziping.

······

"The Prince... Prince..."

At this time, as soon as Princess Wei saw that she finished speaking, Prince Heng sat up suddenly, first looked at his hand, and then touched his heart.

Seeing this, Princess Wei thought that something had happened to the prince, and immediately called up worriedly.

"The Prince... Prince··· What's wrong with you..."

On the other side, the crown prince heard Princess Wei's shout, recovered from his contemplation, and then looked at Princess Wei with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Madam, come, help me up······"
