Chapter 53 Kick the emperor off the bed and let him take over?

Xie Junlin saw his mother's raised lips and frowned, "What do you want to do, mother? Are you going to use medicine on Xiao Lingzhao?"

Queen Mother Jiang did not admit it. She asked Xie Junlin, "Why, you don't allow it?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Junlin turned around and glanced at the young general who was standing quietly at the palace gate with his back straight like a green pine or cypress.

No.

They couldn't treat Xiao Lingzhao badly like this.

If Xiao Lingzhao wanted to climb into another woman's bed, he had no right to stop him, but he couldn't let his mother use medicine on Xiao Lingzhao.

It is already immoral for him to want to steal someone else's wife. If he also needs to give her medicine to destroy her innocence in order to achieve his goal, then is he still worthy of being the monarch that Xiao Lingzhao is loyal to and swears to serve until death?

Xie Junlin looked at Queen Mother Jiang and shook his head slightly.

"Yes, I won't allow you to do this. If you want to use such a despicable method, then there is no need for you to do anything. I have plenty of ways to force him and Madam Xiao to submit."

Queen Mother Jiang glared at her stupid son, feeling quite disappointed with him.

She cursed in a low voice, "You are so pedantic! Do you still want Madam Xiao to give birth to a son for you?"

Xie Junlin said, "I want the child. I also want this brave and invincible general. I can't let you break his pride and make him ashamed to face his wife and children in the future."

Queen Mother Jiang stared at him, "You are simply...you are simply..."

She suddenly waved her sleeves and sneered, "If you don't allow me to crush his pride, then if you snatch his wife away and make him suffer the humiliation of having his wife taken away and be ridiculed by the world, won't that crush his pride too?"

Xie Junlin looked at his mother with dark eyes, "I feel sorry for him, so I can't let him suffer any more harm. If I had the heart to humiliate him to death, I would have arrested him and imprisoned him by now and used his life to force Madam Xiao to surrender. I just can't bear it, do you understand, mother?"

Queen Mother Jiang held her forehead against her chest and sighed deeply, "How could I have given birth to a son like you..."

Xie Junlin was speechless.

He knew he wasn't cruel enough.

But at least, he can be at peace with his conscience.

Queen Mother Jiang asked Xie Junlin again, "You went to ask Madam Xiao if she could cure your brother's illness. What did she say?"

Xie Junlin was slightly startled, "I forgot to ask."

Queen Mother Jiang was surprised and asked, "You forgot to ask? You've been in there for half a cup of tea, and you didn't even ask this. So what did you tell her?"

Xie Junlin stroked the jade ring.

What did you say?

Shen Yuanwei said that she was pregnant with Xiao Lingzhao's child. This bad news made him flee in panic. He didn't have time to ask Shen Yuanwei if she could cure his brother Prince Rui's illness.

Xie Junlin glanced at his mother.

He didn't want to tell his mother that Shen Yuanwei was pregnant.

He has not yet decided whether to kill the child. He is afraid that once his mother learns of this, she will kill the child before he does, and by then it will be too late for him to make amends.

His mother loved him dearly, and for him and his brother, she was willing to do anything, even if her hands were covered in blood...

Xie Junlin sighed.

"Mother, leave my brother's affairs to me. Don't ask Madam Xiao about anything. She and Ling Zhao don't want to expose her secret. If too many people know her secret, she will get nervous and leave the capital and never come back. Where can we find her? Then won't you never have a grandson again?"

Queen Mother Jiang frowned.

Let her not worry about anything?

How could that be possible? Her son was not ruthless enough, and he was unwilling to disappoint this person, nor that person. If this continued, wouldn’t she still not have a grandson?

Xie Junlin lied to his mother, "Mother, if you believe in me, don't worry about anything. I can still use gentle tactics to make you have a grandson next year."

Queen Mother Jiang was skeptical.

Can the strategy of appeasement really work?

Could it be that Xiao Lingzhao was so moved that he was really willing to offer his wife to the monarch?

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. I won't use any medicine on Xiao Lingzhao, nor will I ask Madam Xiao. I'll just ignore everything for now and wait to have a grandson. If there's still no progress between you and Madam Xiao by the beginning of next spring, I'll have to take action—"

Xie Junlin nodded.

He still had to go back to Taiji Hall to take care of his government affairs. After saying a few words to the Queen Mother, he got up and left.

Back at the Taiji Hall, Xie Junlin pointed at the antique shelf and told Chen Hai, "Go get a small couch and put it behind the antique shelf."

Chen Hai glanced at the small couch by the window opposite the dragon table and felt particularly confused.

Isn’t there a small couch over there?

Why do you need another one?

Xie Junlin didn't explain to Chen Hai and asked Chen Hai to do it quickly.

After Chen Hai left, Xie Junlin looked at Xiao Lingzhao.

"I know that your illness cannot be separated from Madam Xiao. You need Madam Xiao to come and treat you often. If you feel that you are about to get sick, go sit on the small couch over there. I will have someone summon Madam Xiao here. You can hold hands and treat your illness over there. When you recover, Madam Xiao will return to the Queen Mother's palace."

“…”

Xiao Lingzhao looked at Xie Junlin in confusion.

Isn't this too ridiculous?

He was about to have an attack, so why didn't he just go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom and stay with Yuan Wei for a while? Why did he summon Yuan Wei to the Emperor's bedroom?

The emperor was dealing with state affairs, and he and Yuan Wei hid aside to kiss and hug each other. This...

How is this possible?

It’s embarrassing to think about it, and it’s ridiculous to think about it!

Xiao Lingzhao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is against etiquette. I cannot meet my wife in your bedroom all day long."

Xie Junlin also knew that what he was doing was ridiculous.

But what can he do?

If he asked Ling Zhao to go to the Queen Mother's bedroom to find Shen Yuanwei, once the door was closed, the desperate Shen Yuanwei would definitely ask Xiao Ling Zhao to take off his clothes and have a child...

Only by keeping these two people under his nose can he ensure that they will not perform the Zhougong ritual.

If he was so cautious and Shen Yuanwei was still found to be pregnant a month later, then it would be God's will.

Xie Junlin hid his thoughts and said to Xiao Lingzhao, "It is not polite for you to meet my wife in my bedroom. Is it not rude for you, an outsider, to run to the Queen Mother's bedroom all day long?"

Xiao Lingzhao was speechless.

He looked at Xie Junlin with resentment, thinking that the best solution would be for the emperor to let them leave the palace...

Xie Junlin said slowly, "The assassin around me has not been found yet. Ling Zhao, you can't leave now. For my life, you and Madam Xiao have to bear with it for the time being. Let's just be ridiculous for a few days, and it will be fine after a few days."

Xiao Lingzhao thought about the emperor's life, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I obey your command."

Xie Junlin looked at Xiao Lingzhao and suddenly asked, "Lingzhao, is there no better way to treat your illness? Can't you let Madam Xiao treat you for a while, and you can last for ten days or half a month without getting sick? Even if it can only last for two or three days, what's the point of lasting for a few hours?"

Xiao Lingzhao frowned.

"I am also troubled by this."

Glancing at Xie Junlin, he whispered, "Yuan Wei has confessed to you, and I will no longer hide it. Yuan Wei can suppress the power in my body and keep me awake just by touching me. I was with her for more than three hours last night, and I fell ill today after being awake for more than three hours. She came into the palace to wake me up earlier, and I showed signs of restlessness again after being separated from her for half an hour. I immediately rushed to the Queen Mother's bedroom to see her and stayed awake. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to fall ill again..."

Xie Junlin looked Xiao Lingzhao up and down.

This is where it gets a little tricky.

Xiao Lingzhao is so dependent on Shen Yuanwei that he has to see her several times a day to stay awake. What will Xiao Lingzhao do if he lets Shen Yuanwei stay in the palace to give birth to children for him?

If Xiao Lingzhao is not allowed to see Shen Yuanwei, he will have to stay in the Xiao family as a pitiful lunatic for a year...

If Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei were allowed to enter the palace and stand guard outside Shen Yuanwei's bedroom, wouldn't this guy be eager to run in and kiss Shen Yuanwei, then run in and hug her again, and if he wasn't allowed to kiss or hug her, he would go crazy and start killing people on the spot?

even……

He stayed in Shen Yuanwei's palace in the middle of the night to favor the girl, and Xiao Lingzhao was still knocking on the door outside to snatch her away from him!

If Xiao Lingzhao was not allowed in, this guy would go crazy and break the door once he lost control, rush in and kick him, the emperor, off the bed, and hug Shen Yuanwei into his arms...

Thinking of the couple kissing and hugging on his dragon bed, while he, the emperor, was kicked under the bed and had to watch helplessly, Xie Junlin took a breath of cold air.

absurd!

How ridiculous!
