only,
"Your Majesty, Barbara is just a mistress. Who would care if a mistress's child were lost?"
Barbara's words were like a wake-up call, instantly bringing Peter the Great to his senses.
Peter the Great had a queen, and her family was a powerful force. If it were discovered that Barbara was pregnant, wouldn't things be done to solidify the queen's position...?
Some things you shouldn't gamble on the probability of them happening.
Peter the Great simply couldn't afford to gamble!
However, if Barbara is to be the child's mother, then it's better for her to be the queen...
But how could he possibly say these words? He comforted Barbara.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and your child! Do you believe me?" Peter the Great looked at Barbara with deep affection. Barbara sneered inwardly, but still looked at the emperor with deep affection on her face.
"You are my support, and you will be my and my child's support in the future. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust!"
Barbara was adept at playing along, and she leaned against Peter the Great's chest.
"Your Majesty, let the Princess Consort live with me. That way you'll feel more at ease, and she won't need your personal doctor to be seen by outsiders. It'll be less of a disturbance, and the later the child is discovered, the better!"
The princess was once from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but as the family declined, this fact was forgotten.
Now that Barbara has mentioned it, Peter the Great nods.
"Let her take care of you. Being with you in the palace will save her from being bothered by my troublesome younger brother. I will personally speak to Prince Flame!" Even if he wants to divorce his wife, he can only do so after his child is safely delivered. If the princess can take good care of his child, then after the princess is divorced, he may grant her some property to live out her old age in peace, and he will also support her eldest son to inherit the title.
Peter the Great was making plans in his mind, while Barbara's eyes were also daring to roll. It seemed that no one would dare to touch her and the Princess Consort during the winter months. Once she gave birth to a child in the spring and was able to contact Miss Yiyi, even if she didn't become the emperor, he certainly wouldn't dare to have the idea of abandoning the mother and keeping the child!
