Chapter 449 Hu Shanshan Extra (8)

At that time, Hu Shanshan did not think that if the emperor really cared about her, he should immediately find a royal physician to treat her injured arm instead of kneeling on the ground and swearing and apologizing.

But what was unexpected was that the two of them ended up hugging each other tightly.

The matter was settled.

After the two reconciled, Hu Shanshan asked the emperor to take care of her child personally, but was rejected.

The emperor said that he had announced to the public that the child had died and sent a reliable person to take the child out of the palace to raise him, otherwise it would be detrimental to both them and the child if the news got out.

Hu Shanshan was very disappointed, especially when she heard that her child had died.

She vaguely felt that it was unlucky to say this, but she was more sad. She was sad that her identity as a fox demon had caused trouble for the emperor again.

She didn't want to be a fox demon anymore and wanted to be a human, even though fox demons had a longer lifespan and more powerful spells.

Hu Shanshan hopes to become more human.

The emperor always said that he hoped there would be someone who could help his family, be his mistress, and sort memorials for him.

He said that other concubines could do it, but their fathers and brothers were powerful in the court, and he could not trust them. He could only trust her.

So Hu Shanshan began to learn to recognize words, starting with one horizontal line and one vertical line.

She stopped eating with her hands and started learning to use chopsticks, learned to recognize the functions of different plates and bowls, and started to walk properly instead of jumping around.

She was determined to package herself as an elegant and dignified woman like the Queen and Empress Chu.

However, she learned too slowly. When it came to literacy and etiquette, she seemed to be born a few steps behind, unable even to catch up with other children.

No matter how thick-skinned she was, she could still notice the teacher's unintentional sighs and helplessness.

Two months passed, and she still couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily, even though her fingers were capable of performing the most delicate and complex gestures.

Hu Shanshan saw the emperor's initial joy, encouragement in the middle, and disappointment and impatience later.

She felt more and more guilty, and did not blame the emperor at all. She just felt that she was useless.

Fortunately, the emperor did not give up on her. He protected her and did not allow her to attend banquets and festivals. He also hired a special teacher to teach her about women's virtues and training...

Yes, that’s great…

Character and temperament cannot be changed overnight. The emperor's actions towards Hu Shanshan were like a drop of water wearing away a stone, silently changing her.

She was no longer as lively as before and was restrained wherever she went.

Afraid and worried everywhere.

The most terrifying thing is that she has forgotten what resistance is.

The emperor is the sky, and she is an ordinary woman in the world, and she only obeys the sky.

The only thing that made her feel at ease was that she was not completely useless in front of the emperor.

She can also make elixirs.

She was taken to a secret world at the bottom of the lake, where she made elixirs for the emperor to help him improve his cultivation and prolong his life.

Days like this passed year after year.

At first, I could occasionally see the child, the little boy who was renamed Chen Zhaozhi, but later I couldn't see him anymore.

She didn't know why, and she didn't dare ask.

…

Until one day, her Zhaozhi brought a few friends into the alchemy room at the bottom of the lake, told her the emperor's conspiracy, and wanted to take her away.

She refused.

The emperor appeared and praised her.

They didn't know how much she wanted to be with her child, but the belief of not betraying her husband was engraved in her bones.

The child's friends talked a lot to her and called her the long-lost title, Princess Hu.

"Princess Hu, have you ever considered that you don't need to understand the etiquette and customs of the human world? You are the daughter of a fox fairy, a noble princess of the fox clan. You are so strong, there is no need to consider anyone's opinion."

"If someone dares to laugh at you, just slap them. If someone dares to bully you, just rip them open!"

"Even the monks and Taoist priests don't dare to deal with you, what are you afraid of?"

"The Emperor lied to you! Even in the human world, there's no such thing as a husband locking up his wife. A wife is an independent person, not her husband's property. She can leave at any time if she wants, and the same goes for you!"

…

These words seemed to make sense, but she was still confused.

She was a princess, yes, she used to be a princess.

But she was already married. The husband is the sky and the wife is the earth. How could a wife be violent towards her husband? She couldn't even speak loudly.

Her grown-up child, her Zhaozhi, said to her calmly, "Mother, don't believe his sweet words anymore. Come with your son."

But she became anxious: "Zhaozhi, come here quickly and be with your parents."

A family reunited, a complete family, isn’t that good?

But Zhao Zhi remained unmoved.

His eyes were firmer than ever, as if telling her that all this was fake, full of lies from the inside out.

She became even more confused.

"It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin." The emperor ordered, "Let's go, Shanshan, and leave them alone."

She lowered her head sadly, but still obeyed the emperor's order.

She took two steps forward and grabbed the alchemy furnace in the room in the air, and the huge and heavy alchemy furnace slid towards her.

Then he and the emperor stood beside the alchemy furnace. The flames in the furnace suddenly expanded and surrounded the two of them.

The flames spread outward.

It wouldn't be long before the flames engulfed Teruyuki and his friends.

She and the emperor also followed the alchemy furnace down, becoming more and more anxious.

She looked at the emperor, then at Shen Zhaozhi, and burst into tears.

She hoped that Chen Zhaozhi would give in and beg his father to spare his life.

But this time, Chen Zhaozhi refused to obey. His clothes and hair were on fire, and his body was undoubtedly burned as well, but he remained silent, using his spiritual power to resist.

He stared at her intently, hoping that she would stand on their side.

she……

Before long, she and the emperor had completely reached the bottom floor. Seeing that the mechanism was about to close, she didn't care anymore. She split a piece of fox fire and used the wind to pull Chen Zhaozhi over!

There was nothing she could do about her husband's punishment this time; she couldn't just watch her child die!

The moment she made the move, she felt as if the huge rock pressing on her chest was being lifted away.

I don't know why, but I feel a sense of relief.

She gasped for breath, then her head went dizzy and she fell into chaos.

After disobeying her husband, she knew she was finished.

What awaits her will be cruel torture.

My last hope is that my husband will spare their child because of their father-son relationship over the years.
