Chapter 59 Without her, I would have died long ago

"Your Majesty, there is no need to test her, because no matter what, she will only be my wife."

"For me, the fact that she and Tuan'er are still alive is a blessing from heaven."

Xiao Yan looked directly at the emperor and said in a firm tone:

"I also know what kind of woman she is better than you, Your Majesty. You think she is not good, but in my eyes, she is the best."

"There's nothing wrong with being vain and abandoning your husband and children. Everyone wants to live a better life."

"It's the same for scholars taking the imperial examinations and pursuing fame, and it's the same for businessmen doing business, so what's wrong with her abandoning me in a moment of confusion?

If I really have to say I was wrong, it's all my fault. As her husband and Tuan'er's father, I couldn't provide her and Tuan'er with a comfortable life. It's only natural for her to leave me."

"Everything that happened yesterday is as dead as yesterday. Now as long as she stays with me, I don't care about it."

"Besides, this is a matter between her and me. What does it matter to you, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yan's seriousness in speaking made the emperor look extremely complicated.

His son actually didn't care about being abandoned.

He actually gave birth to a lover.

This romantic man is also deeply in love with a vixen of low character.

This is retribution...

As retribution for his sin of murder, he now only has this rebellious son left.

"Have you forgotten that you were so heartbroken for her that you almost died?"

"This woman almost took your life!"

Xiao Yan's expression became even colder.

"I didn't forget, it was Your Majesty who forgot.

Without her, I would not be who I am today, and Your Majesty would not have a son left in this world.

I would have died five years ago."

"If she hadn't saved my life and married me, I wouldn't be alive today."

Maybe it's a bit hypocritical, but Meng Mingshu really gave him a home again, gave him Tuan'er, and gave him hope.

Only after marrying Meng Mingshu did Xiao Yan feel like he was alive again.

After his mother passed away, he was finally no longer alone and helpless in this world.

The emperor couldn't argue with Xiao Yan.

For every word he said, Xiao Yan had ten thousand words waiting for him for that vixen.

It seemed as if he, as the father, was committing a heinous crime by stopping this star-crossed couple.

The emperor also thought that his son liked that woman so much.

At least he would care about the woman's feelings for him.

But no one expected that Xiao Yan had been blinded to such an extent.

"You know that you will inherit the throne in the future.

As an emperor, the last thing you can do is favor one person exclusively, otherwise it will bring disaster to the entire empire."

The emperor is not a good-tempered person, otherwise he would not be able to sit in this position.

But towards his only son, he showed a patience he had never had in his life.

"Your royal grandfather, my father, was like this back then. He favored the imperial concubine, which led to the dominance of the imperial relatives. The Zheng family brought disaster to the country and almost destroyed the country."

Xiao Yan had an indifferent expression, with a mocking smile on his lips:

"Is this the reason why Your Majesty is trying to kill my mother and my maternal family?"

The emperor's expression froze for a moment, and he avoided Xiao Yan's gaze for once.

When people get old, they begin to regret what they did in the past.

"I am sorry for your mother."

After a long silence, the emperor finally spoke.

"Back then, I was deceived by a treacherous person, which led to my wrongdoing. I will regret it for the rest of my life."

The emperor sighed and spoke earnestly:

"It is precisely because I owe you my mother that I must make amends to you. Your marriage must be carefully considered."

"My son will become a wise ruler whose name will be remembered throughout history. Naturally, I will carefully select a virtuous queen for you to match."

The emperor's idea was simple: Xiao Yan, as his only son, deserved the best woman in the world.

That Miss Zhao was only slightly concerned about the Imperial Concubine.

It’s more because the daughter of the Zhao family is really good.

The emperor made a special investigation and found that she was a tolerant, virtuous and generous person.

Xiao Yan had three thousand concubines in his harem in the future, and the most important thing for a wife was that she was virtuous and generous.

Then Miss Zhao is the perfect choice.

Xiao Yan said with a cold expression: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say this. My wife will only be Meng Mingshu."

“As for the disaster that you are worried about, only an incompetent monarch would worry about it.

I am not the ancestor, and Meng Mingshu will not be the former Concubine Zheng."

In fact, even if Meng Mingshu was, Xiao Yan didn't care.

If Meng Mingshu really wants the throne, it would be fine to give it to her.

He just wanted them to be together as a family.

But Xiao Yan would not let the emperor know these words.

The emperor was quite troubled by Xiao Yan's stubbornness.

The deeper Xiao Yan's feelings for Meng Mingshu, the more dissatisfied the emperor became with her.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get back to my original proposal."

The emperor deliberately said:

"After all, you still don't dare to gamble."

"You know it yourself. This woman can only share wealth but not adversity. I'm afraid that if you give her the slightest try, she will abandon you."

Seeing that Xiao Yan wanted to speak, the emperor spoke directly:

"You don't have to say anything. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do."

"If you want to stop me, you have to wait until you become the emperor. As long as this world belongs to me, no one can disobey me."

"I only ask you, do you still want Meng Mingshu to be your legal wife? If so, you have no choice but to accept this bet."

"If you disagree, then I will take it as your consent that she is your concubine, and I will immediately grant her the status of concubine."

As expected, to control Xiao Yan, one must use that woman.

The emperor smiled, feeling very happy, and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Bring the girl here, and send my beloved grandson to the Empress Dowager first."

The emperor was confident and asked Xiao Yan to see clearly what kind of person that woman was.

If she could abandon Xiao Yan once, she could do so countless times.

"Yan'er, just watch, you're going to lose this bet."

"You are my only son. I will never harm you. Everything I do is for your own good."
