236 I Want to Have a Daughter
The empress was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly turned red. When did she start to change? Was it when she became the empress? No, it was after she gave birth to the ‘crown prince’.
“Your Majesty was a young man at that time, but now you have become a wise ruler who rules the world. I’m the empress of a country, and the crown prince’s mother, so I naturally don’t dare to be the same as before.” The empress’s voice trembled. If it was not for this, why would she give her own daughter away? How would she end up like this and feel so disgusted because of Xiao Meili? Every time she thought of this, the empress’ heart ached. If the emperor knew about those things… The empress’ heart trembled, and she did not dare to think about it anymore.
The emperor chuckled, “How’s your body? If your body hasn’t recovered, rest for a few more days. There’s no need to worry about these things.”
The eunuch left, giving the emperor and the empress some time to be alone.
“General Zhao is Your Majesty’s trusted aide. General Zhao is an honest person, so I’m afraid he doesn’t know about this matter. That little girl knows some demonic arts and has done such an unpardonable thing, harming the princes. As the mother of the country, of course, I have to interfere. Moreover, Your Majesty has only one son…” The empress’ eyes turned fierce. If not for Jiang Xi, her daughter’s only portrait would not have been destroyed. If not for her, Zhao Panpan would have been married to the crown prince! She blamed everything on the crown prince knowing Zhao Panpan’s identity. Now that Zhao Panpan and the crown prince had become enemies, the empress was getting more and more agitated. Things were in a mess, and the main culprit was that wretched girl, Jiang Xi!
“By the way, the imperial preceptor said that he’ll be out for a few days. He said that there’s some news about the kidnapping of the crown prince in the past.” The emperor suddenly opened his mouth, not noticing that the empress’ fingers had trembled.
“I don’t know if the imperial preceptor is stupid. He played chess with me some time ago and said that I have the fate of being the nation’s father-in-law. He said that I should have a daughter in my life. That daughter came to repay the kindness, but now we don’t know where she is. He wants to investigate. It’s my biological daughter, so how can he investigate?” The emperor’s expression was strange. Could it be that the imperial preceptor was going to investigate him when he was sleeping with his concubines?
The empress trembled again.
“Empress, how good would it be if you gave birth to a daughter for me? A round little face, black eyes… She won’t be afraid of me at all, and it would be good if she was exactly like you.” The emperor shook his head. He had an obedient crown prince in this life, but his daughters were not very considerate. They were all very afraid of him.
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty must be joking. I only have one son, the crown prince. However, if he is not capable of being the crown prince, Your Majesty can choose someone else.” The empress’ heart trembled, and she seized the opportunity to say something. The emperor was stunned. Someone else? He did not have a child to choose another crown prince.
The emperor shook his head and did not speak. He sighed in his heart and thought that the empress and the crown prince were probably in conflict.
The empress sat for a while before leaving. Ever since she had been locked up by the emperor and was only released after Zhao Panpan had entered the palace, the empress had become much less talkative and much gloomier. Even the emperor suspected that Zhao Panpan’s entry into the palace had been such a huge blow to her. Even when the crown prince was kidnapped, the empress was not this upset.
“Go and investigate what has happened to the empress during this period of time. Is there any conflict between her and Xiao Meili? Oh right, the Empress said that she and Xiao Meili have been friends for more than ten years. Check it out, and don’t let the empress find out.” For some reason, the emperor made a decision that made him feel hopeless. He and the empress were a young couple and they had gone through the toughest days together. The empress had even eaten poison for him. If there was nothing serious, he would not doubt the empress, so this was the first time he had investigated the empress behind her back. After he finished speaking, he asked, “How has Zheng Shan’er been recently?”
The emperor had not finished the homework Zheng Shan’er had given him, so he did not dare to see her for a while. Moreover, Zheng Shan’er always gave him a dangerous feeling. The emperor did not want to have more contact with her. Leaving Zheng Shan’er in the palace was one thing, but putting himself in danger was another.
“Zheng Shan’er is very well. A few days ago, she even splashed water on the empress.” The eunuch shook his head. Zheng Shan’er’ is really a wonderful person. Even the emperor and the empress were nothing to her!
