Situ Yao was a little hesitant about the child in Fu Liu's belly. After all, it was his own child. However, he had said that the eldest son and the crown prince must come out of Su Mengyan's belly. Now, it was still unknown whether Su Mengyan was carrying a boy or a girl, but Fu Liu was pregnant.
It has to be said that Situ Yao was a little worried that this child would affect the position of the baby in Su Mengyan's belly, and he was even more afraid that it would affect Su Mengyan's position.
After thinking it over again and again, Situ Yao knew that he absolutely could not keep this child, even though it was his own child.
"If I ask you to abort the baby in your belly, what will you do?" Situ Yao asked. He also wanted to know which one was more important to Fu Liu, the child or Chen Yalan?
What? Beat the child? Fu Liu's straight back bent down for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that Situ Yao actually asked this question.
She looked up at Situ Yao and found that his eyes were cold and his face expressionless. She knew that this might be true.
It seems that he cannot save the child no matter what, and Situ Yao has never thought of keeping the child.
Fu Liu's face was a little pale, and her small hands tightly protected her abdomen. She didn't understand why Situ Yao was so cruel and proposed to abort the child when the child was Situ Yao's after all.
Originally, she thought that she was pregnant, which gave her a leverage to make Situ Yao agree to let Chen Yalan go to the battle.
Unexpectedly, things did not develop as she imagined, but instead developed in the opposite direction, which made her a little at a loss.
Could it be that Situ Yao really didn't want this child? If that was the case, he couldn't keep the child anyway. If that was the case, why didn't he use the child in exchange for Chen Yalan's going to the war?
Thinking of this, Fu Liu forced herself to look up and said to Situ Yao, "If the emperor can let Sister Chen go to the war, then this unborn child doesn't matter."
After getting this answer, Situ Yao was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, he immediately realized that Fu Liu could really give up his child.
Originally, he made that request because, on the one hand, he wanted to clear the obstacles for Su Mengyan, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test Fu Liu's heart.
He thought that someone like Fu Liu would definitely want to keep the child, and then once she gave birth to a son, she would become a respected mother and admired by everyone.
After all, Fu Liu also surprised him, but he achieved his goal anyway. In this case, there was no need for him to force Chen Yalan to stay in the palace.
"I didn't expect that you two sisters are so affectionate with each other. You are actually willing to give up your unborn child in exchange for her going to the war. In this case, if I don't satisfy you, how can I be worthy of your deep sisterly love." Situ Yao said so. What he meant was that he agreed to let Chen Yalan go to the war, but the price was the child in Fu Liu's belly.
After getting the answer he wanted, Fu Liu bowed slightly to Situ Yao and then left the imperial study.
Outside Chen Yalan's palace, Fu Liu hesitated for a long time, tears streaming down her face, and then she made up her mind and wiped away her tears.
She forced a smile on her face and walked happily towards Chen Yalan's palace.
"Sister Chen, Sister Chen, the emperor has agreed. He has agreed to let you go to the war." Fu Liu's smiling voice reached Chen Yalan's ears, which made her stunned. She didn't expect that Fu Liu could actually persuade the emperor.
She thought back to how she had tried many times, whether it was confronting the emperor forcefully or trying to appease him, but the emperor had not given in to her and allowed her to go to the war. However, Fu Liu made a move and actually got the emperor to agree.
However, she didn't have time to think too much. The only thing that came to her mind was that the emperor agreed that she could go to war in place of her father.
"Really? Did the emperor really agree?" The accident came too suddenly, and Chen Yalan couldn't believe it.
In fact, it is no wonder that Chen Yalan is suspicious. In this society, there are very few women going to the battlefield, let alone going to the battlefield for their father.
"Of course, Sister Chen, don't you still believe me? I heard the emperor's words in person. He said that you can go to the war." Fu Liu's face was now filled with smiles, completely different from her previous tearful self.
"That's great, that's great. My father doesn't have to go to the battlefield anymore. I can fight in his place." Chen Yalan believed the news and was extremely happy.
However, Fu Liu on the side hesitated a little: "Sister Chen, you've gone thousands of miles away, and I don't know when you'll be back."
She was a little worried about the brutality of swords on the battlefield, and whether Chen Yalan, as a woman, could return safely from the battlefield.
Having been with Fu Liu for so long, Chen Yalan knew Fu Liu's personality very well. When she heard her ask this, she knew that he must be worried about her.
So, she said, "Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound. When I come back, I will bring you silk flowers, okay?"
Silk flowers were not rare things, but when their army returned victorious, the people would line the streets to welcome them, and some young girls and wives would throw their silk flower handkerchiefs to the soldiers to express their gratitude and respect.
Most of these things are new or just made by themselves. These things that express gratitude will naturally be accepted by the soldiers. Married soldiers will give these things to their wives. If they are not married, they will also give them to their sweethearts or mothers and sisters.
Over time, the custom of sending silk flowers when returning from a victorious battle was established.
After hearing what Chen Yalan said, Fu Liu understood that Chen Yalan was very confident in winning and was also assuring him that she would come back safely.
"In that case, I will stay in the palace and wait for Sister Chen to bring me the silk flowers."
Because Chen Yalan was about to go to war, Fu Liu stayed with her for a while longer. After packing some things with Chen Yalan and telling her to take care of her health, Fu Liu returned to her palace.
Not long after Fu Liu returned to the palace, he saw the eunuch beside Situ Yao coming with a younger eunuch. The younger eunuch was holding a tray with a bowl on it.
The arrival of these two people made Fu Liu instantly think of what she had promised Situ Yao, and her hands unconsciously rested on her lower abdomen.
"Your Majesty, I have come to deliver medicine to you at the order of the Emperor." The eunuch came over, bowed to Fu Liu and then said.
