Chapter 153 Mission 014

[One] Su Youhao Extra:

Since he was old enough to understand, he has been treated with great respect. He is the emperor's only son and has been made the crown prince since he was a baby.

Even though he is weak, takes medicine more often than he eats, and spends more time in bed recuperating than studying, it does not change the fact that he is the crown prince who is second only to the emperor.

Su Youhao never felt that the position of crown prince made him miss so much. On the contrary, if his mother had not often whispered in his ear that he should be a qualified crown prince now and a qualified emperor in the future, he would prefer to live a leisurely life without any worries, rather than dragging his sick body to compete for power with the ministers in the court.

Every time he saw his father frowning because of his illness and the delayed schoolwork, he could not help but have an idea: it would be great if he still had a brother, so that his father would not always worry about him repeatedly delaying his schoolwork due to his illness.

However, Su Youhao never expected that this thought, which he did not even realize, would come true one day.

After he became seriously ill again and even lost his eyesight, he woke up from his coma and suddenly heard that he had been deposed as the crown prince, and he was replaced by his brother whom he had never heard of.

Su Youhao never thought that he actually had a twin brother, and that brother was very healthy!

In his heart, he thought that even if he had a brother, he should be a half-brother who was inferior to him, not a legitimate brother who was far superior to him in all aspects.

Because in the royal family, twins were considered ominous, and only one could be kept after the twins were born. The abandoned one was either sent away or drowned.

And the abandoned child was generally weak and difficult to survive. Su Youhao never thought that his broken body was not abandoned, but his healthy twin brother was abandoned!

Su Youhao later learned about this doubt from his mother. It turned out that his mother chose to keep him in the palace as the crown prince because she pitied him for being too weak to survive after being sent away.

Su Youhao felt guilty when he heard that his brother had been living in disgrace for many years without even a name.

He thought that since he was blind, it would be fine to just be an idle king.

But fate played tricks on him, and later his eyes recovered.

His mother was overjoyed and wanted to help him fight for the throne.

Although his eyes were restored, his body was still weak, and it was unknown how long he could live. He wanted to persuade his mother to give up, but when he thought of how much his mother had paid for him, he fell silent again...

In fact, Su Youhao also vaguely realized in his heart that he was probably... He was also unwilling, and he also wanted to get his crown prince back.

But this time, the father, who had been persuaded by his mother to give him the position of crown prince and chose to give up his brother, did not soften his heart again, but stood firmly behind his brother to support him.

Su Youhao could only watch the support behind his brother become stronger and stronger, and he became more and more stable in the position of crown prince, and he became more and more unable to compete with him.

His father's health was already very bad, and the imperial doctors were helpless.

But a few days before his death, his father privately summoned him to the bedside, dismissed his attendants, and had a father-son conversation with him.

The content of the conversation was very cruel to him, because his father clearly pointed out: "You are not as good as your elder brother. Whether it is physical or ability, your elder brother is far better than you. The father still loves you very much, but child, I hope you can forgive the father. The father can only entrust the country to the most suitable person..."

"You are not as good as your elder brother."

This sentence made him feel uneasy, and he even took the initiative to oppose his elder brother, just to prove to the spirit of the father in heaven that he was not inferior to his elder brother.

However, in the end, all his power was eliminated by his elder brother, which made him feel discouraged and left the stage sadly.

His elder brother, who became the emperor, was still broad-minded and did not do anything to him. He just let him do nothing and did not deliberately suppress him. He tried his best to meet his needs on weekdays.

He had really settled down as his title "An" said. Every day, he went to the palace to comfort his mother and watched his elder brother and the emperor's wife get along well and govern the country prosperously.

While he was pleased with the country's strength, he sighed for not being able to contribute.

Faintly, he felt that he should not be so mediocre, but he did not know where this feeling came from.

That night, he had a very long dream, as if he had dreamed of his whole life, but when he woke up, he was left with only a lot of disappointment. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to be an emperor in his dream...

[II] Shan Ruxuan Extra:

The sudden time travel caught Shan Ruxuan off guard.

Fortunately, she inherited all the memories of the original owner. It turned out that the original owner allowed her to travel through time because she was pushed into an icy pond in the cold winter by her jealous elder sister, and she died.

At this time, the original owner's coming-of-age ceremony had just passed, and it was not long before she married into the palace.

Before the age of twelve, the original owner was a poor little thing, with no love from her father and mother, and her elder sister bullied and looked down on her younger sister.

However, when the original owner was twelve years old, she was lucky enough to meet the current crown prince Su Chenghao at her grandmother's birthday banquet. Later, she was favored by the crown prince, and the emperor granted her marriage, and she became the future crown princess, and her status in the Shan family rose immediately.

Shan Ruxuan recalled the memories of the original owner and the prince on the day of her grandmother's birthday party. She thought the prince was quite interesting. He was willing to marry the original owner, probably not because he liked the original owner, because it was pitch black in the fake cave that day, and the original owner was hiding in the corner. It was still a question whether the prince could see the original owner's face clearly. It is estimated that the prince just thought that the original owner was a poor little person like him, who was not loved by his father and mother, and they felt sorry for each other.

After traveling through time, she had a fiancé who was the tallest, richest and most handsome man in the country. Shan Ruxuan was quite satisfied.

Let alone love, in this ancient environment where men had three wives and four concubines, it was better to seize the opportunity in front of her to become a superior person instead of pursuing the illusory love of a lifetime.

Marrying the fiancé who was once the prince and now the emperor, she would be the second most noble woman in the country, because the queen mother was not dead yet and the queen was not the most noble woman.

Shan Ruxuan was not as reserved as the original owner. She knew how to seize opportunities better.

So when her emperor fiancé sent gifts, she would always mix some private letters to the emperor in the return gifts. More communication before marriage would help cultivate feelings after marriage. With feelings and favor, her position as queen could be firmly established.

Shan Ruxuan cultivated feelings with the emperor fiancé before marriage, and at the same time, she used her transcendent status in the Shan Mansion to defeat the original owner's cruel mother and vicious legitimate sister and illegitimate sister.

In fact, Shan Ruxuan felt that her actions in the Shan Mansion were probably seen by her old and cunning grandmother, and she knew it well.

Because on the first night of her marriage to the palace, her grandmother came to see her and said something meaningful: "As long as you have the same cleverness in the palace as at home, grandma will be relieved."

But she disappointed her grandmother. After entering the palace, she was unable to use the cleverness she had trained in the Shan Mansion. Instead, she was worn out by the emperor's husband's favor day after day. She became spoiled and hypocritical, and always relied on her favor to be arrogant.

But who told her to have an emperor husband who dotes on her? Women's savagery is caused by being spoiled.

She likes to lie on the man's chest, touch his beautiful abdominal muscles, and mutter: "I am so unhappy that there are no concubines in the harem for me to show off my power!"

Then the man would always hold her in his arms and kiss her gently, laughing softly to coax her.

She had no resistance to his beautiful bass voice, and every time she was coaxed into a daze, she forgot her complaints just now, and also forgot her unhappiness when she saw the memorial suggesting that the emperor select concubines.

If there was anything that was not satisfactory for her under his favor since she traveled through time, it would probably be having children.

Since she married him, she has not been pregnant for nearly ten years, and the pressure is very high. Everyone is forcing her, and they all dislike her for not being able to have children and being jealous.

In fact, she knows that he is under more pressure than herself, because he not only has to comfort herself, but also appease the court officials, and he has to resist the pressure not to take concubines.

On the day when she finally got pregnant, she could clearly feel his much more relaxed mood.

He had been on the throne for nearly ten years without a child, which must have been a great pressure on him... For the first time, Shan Ruxuan had the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls: she hoped that the first child would be a boy, so that he would be much less stressed.

Everything went well, but on the day of delivery, she had a difficult delivery.

When she struggled a lot in the delivery room but failed to give birth to the child, she really thought that maybe she was punished for occupying someone else's body and gaining this love that all women in the world envied.

She thought she was going to die, but she saw him rush into the delivery room regardless of the obstruction, and ordered to try to save the adults and give up the child.

She knew how stubborn he was. If this child could not be born, they would probably never have children in the future.

So she mustered up her courage again and gave birth to the child with all her might.

Fortunately, it was a boy.

When the first cry of the child after birth rang in her ears, she saw the pale man beside her holding her hand tightly and smiled slightly.

Vaguely, she recalled the day of their wedding when he held her hand, stood on the terrace, and swore to the heavens and the earth, "Su Chenghao will love you sincerely for the rest of his life, and will never have second thoughts!"
