Chapter 181 Have You Never Loved Me?
Feng Xiyao was awakened by Concubine Li. When she opened her eyes, she saw her face full of anger.
Seeing that she was awake, Concubine Li shouted, "You are still in the mood to drink and sleep, my cousin is about to be snatched away by a fox spirit!"
Thinking about Mo Cangyan's attitude these days, Feng Xiyao's face remained calm.
"The emperor has many women. Even without Song Qianxue, he would have other women. It's just a matter of time!"
Concubine Li frowned, looking very unhappy.
"My cousin can have other women, but it can't be that bitch Song Qianxue. You must help me get my cousin back!"
“…”
Without waiting for Feng Xiyao to say anything, Concubine Li pulled him off the bed.
"Hurry up and get dressed. Your cousin is with Song Qianxue right now. Let's go get him back!"
As she said this, she pulled Feng Xiyao to the dressing table without question.
"Ruyi, come quickly and put makeup on your master!"
…
In the garden.
"Are you feeling better?"
Song Qianxue nodded: "Much better now, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Song Qianxue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by two people who walked over.
Concubine Li pulled Feng Xiyao over and pushed Song Qianxue aside.
"Cousin, the Queen misses you and has something to tell you!"
Feng Xiyao: “…”
Mo Cangyan lowered his eyes and looked at Feng Xiyao, waiting quietly for her to speak.
"Just chat slowly, we won't bother you anymore!"
As Concubine Li said this, she pulled Song Qianxue away with force.
The emperor finally came to see her, and Song Qianxue didn't want to leave, but she was ultimately no match for Concubine Li's strength, and was dragged away by her.
The palace maids also knew the situation and retreated far away, leaving the space for the two of them.
“…”
The person who was once familiar to her, now she didn't know what to say when facing him. They looked at each other in silence. Feng Xiyao smiled bitterly in her heart.
"What does the Queen want to say?" Mo Cangyan lowered his eyes and looked at her dimly.
Meeting his cold gaze, Feng Xiyao spoke lightly.
"How does the emperor plan to deal with Miss Qianxue? Will he take her into the harem, or will he release her from the palace after her injuries heal?"
Seeing that there was no emotion in her eyes, Mo Cangyan frowned and threw the question to her.
"Then what does the Queen think? Do you want me to be taken into the harem or released from the palace?"
"…The palace belongs to the emperor. I will obey your orders in everything!"
Hearing her emotionless tone, Mo Cangyan laughed out of anger.
"All follow my instructions! Feng Xiyao, when did you become so obedient?"
Feng Xiyao: "I am the emperor's wife, so I will obey the emperor in everything!"
Not wanting to see her hypocritical self-righteousness, Mo Cangyan reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms.
"Feng Xiyao, have you never loved me?"
His hand was pulled hard by her, and Feng Xiyao raised her eyes to meet his angry gaze.
"Mo Cangyan, you are not qualified to ask this question!"
"Why not? I am the emperor and your husband!" the man shouted loudly with anger in his tone.
"Then let me ask you, do you also like Song Qianxue and are reluctant to let her go?"
“…”
As for whether he likes her or not, Mo Cangyan doesn't think so, but the throbbing in his heart cannot deceive anyone.
He sighed and his tone softened.
"Ah Yao, give me some time and I will tell you the answer!"
The silence just now explained everything. Although Feng Xiyao already knew the answer, she still couldn't help feeling hurt in her heart.
She pulled her hand back forcefully: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so embarrassed. You are the emperor, and it is normal to have three wives and four concubines. I crossed the line."
"I'll take my leave!"
She stepped back and saluted him.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Mo Cangyan became anxious and hugged her from behind.
"Feng Xiyao, can't you wait for me, or lie to me and say that I'm the only one in your heart?"
"As long as you say that I'm the only one in your heart, I will believe you no matter it's true or false."
Knowing that he always believed that she liked Jiang Jue, Feng Xiyao broke away the man's hand.
"Mo Cangyan, you have never believed in me!" She said and walked away.
Looking at her walking away, Mo Cangyan's eyes were filled with hurt.
He didn't know why things turned out like this.
…
After the last quarrel, Feng Xiyao no longer had the energy to face Mo Cangyan.
Ruyi hurried in to report: "My queen, Prime Minister Feng asked if you have time to go home. He wants to see you for something!"
"My father?"
Feng Xiyao took Ruyi out of the palace, got on a carriage and soon arrived at Feng Mansion.
The Feng Mansion was a bit deserted at this time. His brother had been staying in Xuzhou, and only his mother was at home taking care of everything.
When Feng Xiyao saw her mother again, the grievance in her heart instantly surged up.
"Mother!"
Her eyes turned red and she hugged her mother aggrievedly.
Mother Feng looked at her distressedly and touched her face: "Ah Yao has lost weight!"
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
“…”
After the mother and daughter reminisced about the past, Feng Xiyao was called to the study by Feng Li.
"Did my father call me here to tell me something?"
Feng Li looked at her with eyes full of pity. She was his own daughter, and who wouldn't want her to live a good life?
He sighed: "The emperor has been married for many years, but still has no children. Now the ministers are very anxious about the issue of offspring."
"But you all know the emperor's temper. Unless he is willing, we can't persuade him at all."
He paused at this point.
"You are now the Empress. Father knows that asking you to persuade the Emperor will make you sad, but you must also shoulder your responsibilities as the Empress and persuade the Emperor to consider the royal heirs and recruit concubines to fill the harem!"
Feng Xiyao frowned slightly: "Daddy wants me to persuade the emperor to take a concubine!"
Feng Li was in a dilemma: "All the ministers know that the emperor favors you, and the incident between you and Jiang Jue last time was too big."
"If the emperor hadn't deliberately suppressed them, and if your father wasn't here, I don't know what they would have done!"
"Because the ministers have long been prejudiced against you, several ministers have united to persuade the emperor to depose you. Fortunately, the emperor saw this and suppressed this momentum."
"I also know that you like the emperor and that the emperor is special to you, but you are not ordinary people after all. It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to have only you as his woman."
"Now that the emperor has no children, not only are we worried, but the common people are too. If we allow this to continue, I'm afraid that rumors will spread that you are a demon concubine, and then daddy won't be able to protect you."
“…”
Seeing her sad expression, Feng Li continued.
"Daddy is also afraid that you will be criticized. You should persuade the emperor. The emperor likes you so much, he will definitely listen to you."
"And even if the emperor has children with other women, they can't compare to you as the queen..."
"Think about it carefully!"
“…”
Feng Xiyao lowered his head, his eyes dead silent.
