Chapter 11 The Princess and the Bloodthirsty King
Yuwen Yuan's expression gradually became heavy, as if he was trapped in painful past events.
"Yuehua, this throne was not easy to come by. I fought for it and risked my life. I lost my mother because of it. I grew up under the oppression of the queen mother. I have suffered many plots over the years, and my body has been destroyed by poison."
Yuwen Yuan stroked Cha Jiu's face with his rough hands, and his unfathomable eyes were now filled with fragile sadness.
"Yuehua, I really want a child to continue the empire that I am so proud of."
This rare expression of true feelings made Cha Jiu lose his mind.
At this moment, she deeply felt that under the emperor's supreme power, there was also a powerless and fragile side.
Perhaps this is the meaning of the childbearing system, bringing her to Yuwen Yuan.
Cha Jiu held Yuwen Yuan's big hands with both hands and rubbed his hot palms lovingly.
"I am ashamed." Cha Jiu was a little embarrassed, "In fact, I am a little afraid of the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui."
Yuwen Yuan was naturally aware of this, and he soothed her, "Don't be afraid, I will send secret guards to accompany you and protect your safety."
The Queen Mother and Consort Hui are not qualified to touch him.
Cha Jiu hesitated before finishing the rest of her words: "Another point is that I am afraid that if I return from Taihua Palace, His Majesty will not want me anymore."
She looked up at him secretly, her eyes full of anxiety.
Yuwen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his heart softened: "I will not abandon you."
Cha Jiu was a little bit angry: "Who knows if His Majesty will forget me after tasting that beauty? I don't want to go to Taihua Palace, I just want to stay with His Majesty."
Yuwen Yuan laughed: "Do you have any manners in your speech?"
Cha Jiu was furious: "I don't want any rules! I want Your Majesty to be my Majesty alone."
Wanxing and Zhirou, who were standing by to serve, almost knelt down.
My master is so brave, how can you say that?
Zhang Lu looked at the two shivering little palace maids and shook his head imperceptibly.
I am still young and inexperienced, so I am trembling with fear at such a small scene.
Your Majesty now dotes on Consort Zhaorong Hua Chong so much that he wishes the prince would be born from her belly tomorrow. How could he blame so many minor details?
Sure enough, the expression on Yuwen Yuan's face did not change.
He just lowered his head to look at Cha Jiu's flat belly and said in a deep voice: "If you can give birth to a dragon heir, I will be yours alone."
This time it was Chajiu's turn to be shocked.
She didn't think Yuwen Yuan was a joker.
Even if such a promise is heavy, he will definitely fulfill it once he makes it.
For some unknown reason, Cha Jiu blurted out: "What if I want all your love?"
Yuwen Yuan looked at her deeply and gave her an answer: "If you want something, you must do your best to get it."
…
On the day of leaving the palace, Cha Jiu lay on the window sill of the carriage, looking towards the palace gate behind her with reluctance.
Wan Xing couldn't bear it, and said, "Your Majesty is in the morning court now, so he probably won't come to see you off."
Besides, it is not reasonable for the emperor to see off his concubines who were praying for him.
The master is too affectionate to Your Majesty.
"Wanxing, you don't understand."
You still have to do some surface work.
After Chajiu lowered the car window sadly, his facial expression instantly returned to normal and he happily ate the snacks prepared by Zhirou in the lunch box.
Walnut milk cake, plum-flavored water chestnut cake, steamed fish flower cake with rice flour…
The things in the small kitchen are more exquisite and delicious than those in the dining room.
The system said coldly: "You change your expression so quickly."
In the last second, she looked like she would die without Yuwen Yuan, and in the next second, she was eating happily, without any ambiguity at all.
Cha Jiu ate leisurely: "Even if Yuwen Yuan didn't come in person, he would have sent someone. If I don't act reluctant, it wouldn't be in line with my character."
The system sighed: "You are very familiar with the role switching between the love brain princess and the sober host."
"It's easy." Cha Jiu patted the cake crumbs on his hands and asked, "What is Yu Wenyuan's favorability value now?"
"Forty-five percent."
Cha Jiu was worried: "This favorability value has not moved for a long time."
Although Yuwen Yuan liked her, he was still limited to being obsessed with her appearance and body, a simple and passionate feeling that was different from that of other people.
However, these external conditions make it difficult for him to develop a deep emotional connection with himself.
Therefore, there is no sign of progress in favorability.
"It looks like we need a strong dose of medicine."
A powerful medicine that can break through Yuwen Yuan's defenses.
Taihua Hall was not too far from the Imperial Palace, and the carriage team traveled slowly for most of the day before arriving at this Feng Shui treasured land nestled between mountains and water.
The abbot of Taihua Temple came out to greet them with a group of nuns.
"May the Empress Dowager live in peace and good health. May Consort Hui and Consort Zhaoronghua be blessed with good fortune."
A crowd of people knelt down and paid their respects.
Cha Jiu was helped down from the carriage, and she felt that a group of nuns were staring at her closely.
However, when she turned around, the nun quickly lowered her head so that her face could not be seen clearly.
Cha Jiu found it strange. This nun was tall and looked more like a man than a woman.
Because they were in a Buddhist temple, the Queen Mother's tone softened a lot: "Master Yuanchen, there is no need to be so polite. I am just here to pray for blessings as per the usual practice."
Yuan Chen nodded and smiled: "The three masters' rooms have been prepared, but the main room is under renovation recently, so I have to ask Empress Zhaorong Hua to go to the farther west room."
When mentioning Cha Jiu, the Queen Mother's face was indifferent: "It doesn't matter. As long as the person praying for blessings is sincere, it doesn't matter where he lives."
Although the west wing is remote, it is a place for royal nobles to stay after all, and the environment conditions are also good.
It's just a little far from the main chamber. Most of the guards are stationed in the main chamber where the Queen Mother lives. If something happens, I'm afraid Cha Jiu won't be able to call for help.
Wanxing brought warm water with flower petals and spices sprinkled in it, and helped Chajiu wash her hands.
Cha Jiu washed his hands slowly and whispered, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are going to attack us."
Wan Xing was surprised: "The Queen thinks this west room is weird"
"The west chamber is not strange, but the change of chamber is strange. Knowing that the master in the palace would come to pray at this time, why didn't they repair it earlier or later, but at this time?"
Cha Jiu took the cloth and wiped the water off his hands: "It's okay, just be careful."
On the way here, she had already figured out how to use this prayer to improve Yuwen Yuan's favorability.
She exchanged for fake pregnancy pills.
Men are creatures who are born without the ability to cherish.
The pain of gaining and then losing is so heart-wrenching that it is hard to forget.
Cha Jiu wanted Yu Wenyuan to feel this kind of pain so that he would cherish her more and understand her difficult situation better, instead of just staying on the superficial obsession with her body and appearance.
Only in this way can we break through the current bottleneck of favorability.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the Queen Mother and her men taking action.
I was afraid that if they didn't take action, this fake pregnancy and abortion would not have the perfect effect.
A figure flashed past the corner of the paper window, and Wan Xing shouted: "Who is peeping outside?"
