Chapter 64: The Gynophobic Prince! Hitting his head against the wall and torturing himself

Shen Yuanwei heard this with a mocking look on her face.

What is there to say? This is not the first day that the emperor has been favoring his concubines. He has been doing so for eighteen years. He is no longer clean. How can he be innocent?

If he doesn't favor his concubines for the next two years, will he appear clean?

It doesn’t matter, even if the emperor is a little dirty.

Therefore, Shen Yuanwei said indifferently, "The emperor's favor for your concubine has nothing to do with me. The emperor can do as he pleases. If the emperor works hard and can give birth to a child, it will be a great thing. The whole country will celebrate, and I will be extremely happy."

“…”

Xie Junlin was discussing with Shen Yuanwei seriously to avoid future troubles, but who knew that Shen Yuanwei would be so irritating.

He stared at Shen Yuanwei expressionlessly, and his good-looking face turned ugly again.

Shen Yuanwei knew how to piss him off to death, and he was particularly suffering from a heart attack right now.

And what's with that mocking expression?

Do you think he is already very dirty, so it doesn’t matter if he gets dirtier?

Xie Junlin was holding his breath, thinking that he was dirty, right? He really wanted to do it to Shen Yuanwei on the spot and let Shen Yuanwei clean him up personally!

He gritted his teeth and told himself, forget it, forget it, it was he who wanted to take my wife away and he was the one who bullied others first, and he deserved it when others were wronged and treated him badly.

He said calmly, "Okay, since you don't mind, then don't say a single 'dirty' word to me from now on. I am willing to abide by your principles and keep you clean for two years, but you don't want to."

Shen Yuanwei thought to herself, you have been dirty for eighteen years, what’s the point of me asking you to be clean for the past two years?

Xie Junlin took in Shen Yuanwei's expression and felt particularly aggrieved.

He tried to hold back, but couldn't help but defend himself.

"Stop your inner ridicule. I am not as dirty as you think. I do not value women. In the first three years after I got married, I only had the queen and two concubines in my harem. If it were not for the children, I would not have taken in dozens of them. After confirming that I could not give birth to a child in the past two years, I rarely went to the harem, and now I have not set foot there for eight months."

Shen Yuanwei was stunned when she heard this.

She looked up at Xie Junlin.

Not interested in women? Taking concubines just to have children?

Oh, does he still feel aggrieved? What he did with the concubines for more than ten years was not love, but hatred?

Shen Yuanwei didn't want to talk about this issue with Xie Junlin.

"I don't want to know about the affairs between the emperor and his concubines. Does the emperor have any other concerns about the two-year agreement? If not, sign the contract now and let me and Ling Zhao leave the palace."

“…”

Xie Junlin finally opened his mouth to explain, but was completely ignored.

He closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows hard.

This Shen Yuanwei was simply sent by God to jinx him!

He took a deep breath.

"Of course I still have concerns. You agreed with me for two years, but have you ever thought about how many years I can live? What if I can only live another ten years?"

"It's only ten years. You want me to wait for two years. Will I definitely be able to have a son in two years? If I can't give birth to a prince, do I have to wait another two years?"

"Have you ever thought about how old the child will be when I die if we continue to delay like this? Without his father's protection, how can a young child like him support the heavy responsibility of ruling the country in an environment surrounded by wolves?"

Xie Junlin looked at the two of them and said, "I'm forcing you like this only because I know I will die young. If I could live another twenty years, I wouldn't be so aggressive."

This was the second time Shen Yuanwei heard the emperor say that he would have a short life.

She thought to herself, why didn't the emperor say that he would die tomorrow? Wouldn't it be that if he were allowed to spend the wedding night with her tonight, he would not be so anxious?

He insists that he will die young. Fine, then should I give him a child in the bridal chamber now, and then he should kill himself ten years later even if he is not sick? Otherwise, how can I justify his claim of a short life?

Xie Junlin didn't know what Shen Yuanwei was complaining about, but he knew at a glance that Shen Yuanwei was not thinking of anything good at the moment.

He chose to play blind.

He said, "So, please allow me to consider the two-year agreement for a day, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Shen Yuanwei was too lazy to argue with him, she lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Okay, Your Majesty, please consider your decision. Can Ling Zhao and I leave the palace?"

Xie Junlin looked at her with a half-smile, "What do you think? I let you leave the palace, Ling Zhao sent you away overnight and hid you, where can I find someone?"

Without waiting for Shen Yuanwei to speak, Xie Junlin made the final decision, "You go to the Queen Mother's bedroom first. Tomorrow, I will give you an answer."

Shen Yuanwei stared at Xie Junlin unwillingly, and Xie Junlin also stared at her, leaving no room for negotiation.

After a few breaths, Shen Yuanwei was defeated.

No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to obey the emperor's order.

Forget it, the fact that today's events could achieve such a result was already the greatest concession made by an emperor, and she couldn't let things get any more complicated.

She turned to look at Xiao Lingzhao and whispered, "Then I'll go to the Queen Mother's bedroom first. If you get sick, call me..."

Xiao Lingzhao agreed.

Watching Shen Yuanwei stand up, he suddenly grabbed Shen Yuanwei's arm.

His fingers were trembling, his eyes were red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Will you blame me for being useless and for not protecting you well?"

Shen Yuanwei bent down and gently stroked his cheek.

"You are already great, really. You are willing to fight to the death, how can it be useless? Do I have to force you to kill the king, force you to rebel, is this useful? No, if you impulsively kill the king and stir up turmoil and bloodshed in the imperial city, causing innocent people to suffer, this is a big mistake. This will disappoint the heroic spirits of your Xiao family ancestors, and will make me and you become eternal sinners together."

She hugged Xiao Lingzhao.

"Ling Zhao, you know, I like you to be a loyal minister, I like you to be a god of war who defends the country, I never like traitors, so how could I be willing to see you become a sinner for all eternity because of me?"

"Ling Zhao, please don't blame yourself. This is my own fate. It's not that you didn't protect me. You can protect me well. You can. I will wait for you to protect me for the rest of my life."

Xiao Lingzhao's eyes were moist.

He tightly held Shen Yuanwei's waist, and the love in his heart was growing rapidly.

After the Long case, Xie Junlin watched Shen Yuanwei comfort Xiao Lingzhao so gently and sensibly, and he was particularly envious of Xiao Lingzhao.

Looking at the bright and beautiful Shen Yuanwei, a small seed in his heart was quietly sprouting.

Even though she was being forced by the emperor, the girl still advised her husband to be a loyal minister. How could he not like such a broad-minded person?

Shen Yuanwei comforted Xiao Lingzhao and turned to leave the Taiji Hall.

Accompanied by a young eunuch, she walked towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

As she walked, she put away the sad expression on her face and she was not sad at all.

She was mentally prepared from the beginning to have a child for the emperor who had no heir. Although she had planned to enter the palace seven or eight years later, she was very depressed and annoyed by the plan being disrupted as the time was brought forward, but she could accept it after thinking it over.

She is going to be a prince in the future, and she still has decades of happy and carefree life to live, so there is no need to worry too much.

But, I feel a little sorry for Xiao Lingzhao...

But on second thought, without her, Xiao Lingzhao would have to be a madman imprisoned in the yard, and even have to watch his old father commit suicide in front of Song Suihuan, and he would also be drained of his strength by Song Suihuan and become a disabled person. Isn't this even more miserable?

The benefits she brought to Xiao Lingzhao clearly outweighed the harm.

Shen Yuanwei, free from the shackles of her heart, walked briskly to Shoukang Palace.

As soon as she arrived, she saw chaos in Shoukang Palace.

"You two, go and invite Divine Doctor Song to the palace! You guys, go and invite the Emperor!"

"Prince Rui is banging his head against the wall again. His head is covered in blood and the Queen Mother can't stop him!"

"Yes, we don't dare to go forward and touch Prince Rui. If we go forward, he will not only bang his head against the wall and torture himself, he will directly hit his head and kill himself!"
