"If you can't help, what's the point of coming!" The Northern Emperor looked unclear.
The Queen Mother could not understand her son more and more, and she became more and more afraid. It was okay when he was young, but the older he gets, the harder it is to figure it out, just like his dead father. Moreover, this is not his biological son, so there is no way he can be so close to him.
"Then... then we have been planning for so many years and have put in so much effort. If we really want to give up and achieve nothing in a bamboo basket, are you willing to do so, Your Majesty?"
"What can we do if we are not willing to give in? If he knows the truth, he will only become an obstacle to us, and... he will be an obstacle to us allowing him to grow into the current situation."
The Queen Mother actually couldn't bear that man in her heart. She had followed the late Emperor for many years and she had never experienced the love between a man and a woman. Because of her family background, she was attracted by the royal family at a very young age and was destined to be the queen. The late emperor didn't have any romantic feelings for her. After all, he was in the royal family and had to weigh the pros and cons of everything. Marrying her was just because he needed a woman of such status to be his queen and stabilize his harem.
But everything changed thirty-two years ago. At that time, she had just become the queen, and she still had admiration for the late emperor. After all, the late emperor at that time was indeed a man who had no choice in any aspect, except for being a little cold. But in just a few months, she knew that this man would never be as affectionate to her as he was in the storybook.
She had been disappointed, hesitant, disappointed, and hopeful. In a short period of time, her whole body was like an old woman, lifeless, leaving only a shell, which continued to suffer.
Once she accompanied the late emperor out of the palace, but the late emperor also brought a newly promoted concubine with him at that time. She seemed to like her, but she was somewhat neglected. She was in a bad mood, so she followed her maid for a walk by the lake.
It was that afternoon when I met Xia Lang.
The sky was clear and the breeze was blowing away the depression all over her body. Then she saw the elegant man in white, handsome and bookish. He has the ability to seduce people with just a slight smile. Many maids and ladies by the lake were fascinated by him, but he was unfailing to anyone but himself.
Later, things developed in a bad direction. The two of them developed feelings, and even things happened that shouldn't have happened. She was scared at that time, but looking at the man who looked at her tenderly, she thought, she is She is willing to give up everything for this man, even the position of queen. However, the man never made any excessive demands on her, and he had no intention of running away with her or staying away from this troubled world.
Even if she takes the initiative to mention it, he will use her family's words to tell her to focus on the overall situation. In addition to herself, she is also the queen of this country and the support of her family behind her. He doesn't want her to become such a selfish person. , for him, to be a woman who is unfaithful and unfilial and criticized by others.
What was she thinking at that time? It seemed that he was moved, feeling that the man would rather suffer injustice than save her. At that time, she was happy and happy, and it was also the first and only time she truly understood what love was, the love that lasts until death only in the book. Of course, now that I think about it, it’s really ridiculous.
But the good times did not last long, and the late emperor found out about it. She thought she was dead, but she still wanted to ask the emperor to spare the man. She told the late emperor that all this was because she was confused and did something wrong, and she did not blame others.
The late emperor just looked at her calmly, without sadness or joy.
She knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. She went through everything in her mind, but she couldn't figure out what the late emperor was thinking.
For a long time, the late emperor seemed to have made some important decision, staring at her with calm eyes, "I will not take your life, but you must cooperate with me. Otherwise, your position as queen will be small. Family, your powerful father, your ambitious eldest brother, your little brother who doesn’t seek advancement and only knows how to walk cats and dogs, and your mother who loves you, will all die, and I will let them die very badly. awful."
"Your Majesty, please, if you have any objections to me, please let my family go." She kowtowed as hard as she could, her forehead was bleeding, and she still didn't stop.
But the late emperor showed no mercy at all and sneered, "Don't forget what crime you have committed. The Queen of the Northern Territory made peace with another man and was pregnant. Hahaha, I will let you die a thousand times. Never too many times.”
The queen was shocked, pregnant? Why didn't she know? His face gradually turned pale, and he looked at the emperor in horror.
"You are surrounded by my people, including the imperial doctor. Didn't you ask the imperial hospital to check your pulse recently? You are already more than three months pregnant. Oh, no, count the time, it's two months."
She looked at the emperor blankly, not knowing what he was talking about. It took a long time before she realized, "When did the emperor know about this?"
"You said you were pregnant? Hahaha, it's been almost a month."
"Then the Emperor..."
The emperor's cold gaze swept across her dull face, "Why don't you tell or ask?"
Seeing the queen's still dull look, the emperor smiled, "I was curious at first. I haven't touched our virtuous and virtuous queen for almost three months. How come she is pregnant? She is still one month old. I I was puzzled, so I sent someone to investigate. As a result, the queen really impressed me, she is very courageous."
The pale queen looked at the emperor with fear in her eyes. She had never seen such a terrifying man before, "Why?"
"Why? Of course it's because you are still valuable. Otherwise, does the queen think that I will be so generous and let you live?"
"What...what use value." When the queen asked this question, her voice was trembling, and her body was frighteningly cold.
"Hehehe, Queen, does she know who the man with whom you have a deep love and will live and die by your side is?"
"He..." the queen's voice was hoarse, "he is a man of the world."
"He is a man of the world, hehe, that's not bad. Let's not talk about his identity. Doesn't the Queen find it strange? You obviously take Bizi Decoction every time, so how can you get pregnant?"
The queen's thoughts were racing, but she still didn't understand. What did the emperor mean by this, that Xia Lang had changed her medicine? No, no, no, it's impossible. She told Xia Lang about the seriousness of this matter, and he agreed. It would never happen. Or maybe... he loves her so much that he wants to have a child with her? The queen had a headache thinking about it.
When the late emperor saw this, he also knew that she could not think of anything. After all, there were two reasons why he chose her to be the queen. One is naturally his family background, and the other is that he is simple, to put it harshly, stupid.
