Chapter 13 The emperor stared at the back of her head with his eyes shining

Lei Ning sneered. If His Majesty hadn't told him not to act rashly, he would have divorced this vicious woman long ago!

He just spared her life because she gave birth to a daughter for him.

etc.

Lei Ning looked at his second daughter's little face, which was glaring at him angrily. Her face was as cute as white jade and delicate as a porcelain doll.

Just not like him...

Lei Ning had a horrified guess in his mind: maybe the child wasn't his!

But he looked at his eldest daughter again. Because she was not taken care of as carefully as the second daughter, the baby fat on her face had disappeared a lot.

Although he is still young, his slightly round eyes already show his heroic character when he grows up.

Feeling her father's gaze, Lei Nian'er turned her head in confusion.

General Lei withdrew his gaze.

The eldest daughter is also pretty. Even though he is ugly, he is lucky to have a pretty daughter. So what?

He came back to his senses and said sternly, "You did something wrong and you still blame others. Since you think being a mistress is not prestigious, then you should stop being a mistress."

Mrs. Lei and Lei Nan'er suspected that they had heard it wrongly.

"Aye, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lei held Lei Nan'er in her arms and said, "Damn you, you said this in front of the child! She must be so scared after hearing it!"

The matter of divorce has been brought to light. No matter whether he was too angry and didn't think it through, Mrs. Lei decided that this time, no matter what Lei Ning said, she would ignore him for a month!

Lei Ning pulled Lei Nian'er up and left, leaving a message: "From today on, you don't need to be the housekeeper anymore."

Lei Naner screamed in disbelief: "Aye! Aren't you afraid that your mother will ignore you?"

In the past, when his mother was angry and ignored him, his grandfather would rush to comfort her.

Mrs. Lei was also waiting for her daughter to say this, and then Lei Ning would realize his mistake and come to admit it to her.

She sat upright in the chair with a haughty attitude.

Unexpectedly, General Lei sneered and said, "You don't want to pay attention to me? That's good. Don't leave the main courtyard, so you don't cause trouble for others again."

Mrs. Lei was also confused now. All the methods that had tried and succeeded were no longer effective.

"General! How could you do this to me!"

Seeing that Lei Ning was unmoved, Mrs. Lei laughed in anger: "Okay, then lock me up. Don't even think about me seeing you again!"

Mrs. Lei didn't believe that she would really be grounded. She couldn't be grounded. If she couldn't see Lei Ning for a long time, how could she listen to her parents and lure Lei Ning to death?

General Lei ignored her and left with Lei Nian'er.

Mrs. Lei's eyes were bloodshot, she never thought that Lei Ning, the murderer, would actually dare to lock her up here!

The servants in the general's mansion were terrified. In the past, they had helped the second young lady to bully the eldest young lady.

Unexpectedly, the eldest daughter has turned over a new leaf. The general personally took her out of the main courtyard and even put the lady under house arrest for her.

When the steward saw this, he immediately ordered, "Quick, go and replace all the clothes and charcoal that were withheld from the eldest lady and the concubine, and send a few good ones to make up for it."

His son thought it was unnecessary. "Dad, if the Madam knew that we tried to please that little girl when she was down, and she succeeded in getting the general in the future, who knows how she would deal with us."

When the steward heard this, he hesitated. The lady had a bad temper and would not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes.

His son continued to analyze: "Although I don't know why the general was so angry, but husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. When the general calms down, he will have to comfort his wife."

The steward thought it made sense. The lady had been in charge of the Lei family for five or six years, and had always been loved and respected by the general.

The two had quarreled before, and it was always the general who had to be humble and admit his mistakes.

Even if the eldest daughter could gain the general's favor for a while, she would never be as good as the lady.

Thinking of this, the manager relaxed and said, "Then don't worry about it."

When he went to court in the morning, the emperor also carried Bei Jingchu up to the emperor so that he could listen to her thoughts and get more information.

Fortunately, he was conscientious enough not to wake Bei Jingchu up, but just moved to another place to sleep.

When Bei Jing first woke up, she heard court officials asking the emperor to appoint an heir.

"Your Majesty has been an adult for two years and has only one daughter. To ensure the stability of the country, please let the son of the royal family inherit the throne."

Bei Jingchu immediately rubbed his eyes and cheered himself up.

She had heard of an emperor in history who was forced by court officials to adopt someone else's child because he had no heir.

But after that child succeeded to the throne, he was not kind to his daughters, and the eldest princess was even abused to death by her husband.

But the emperor was kind and weak, so the ministers were able to succeed.

But her cheap dad is not like that.

Bei Jingchu could already foresee that they were going to be in trouble.

"How dare you! Your Majesty is still in the prime of life. Why do you need to consider the succession? Are you cursing Your Majesty to die young?"

"Of course not! It's just that there has been no prince, the country is unstable, and the court is in unrest!" The minister retorted and bowed in the direction of the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, please appoint an heir as soon as possible."

[Look, my handsome dad’s back teeth are about to break. 】

Hearing that Bei Jingchu had woken up, the emperor looked down and saw her biting her fingers, looking extremely comfortable.

Suddenly I felt it was very annoying.

I can't bear to see her so happy. I really want to send her to school.

Bei Jingchu didn't know that her princess life of eating, drinking and having fun for the rest of her life would be changed because she was too leisurely watching plays.

The people below were arguing endlessly, and the emperor looked down and took note of the two factions.

According to the young man, King Lu didn't want him to have children and wanted to inherit the throne.

Then those who opposed the succession were the people under King Lu.

For those who support succession and nominate candidates, it is obvious to whom they are loyal.

After remembering who belonged to whom, the emperor raised his hand.

Seeing this, Eunuch Jiang stepped forward and shouted: "Be quiet——"

Only after the hall was quiet did the emperor speak.

He spoke softly, and the hall was empty, so if you didn't listen carefully you wouldn't be able to hear clearly.

But none of the ministers standing below dared not to listen carefully. They all paid full attention, for fear of missing a single word.

"Secretary of State."

"I am here."

The Minister of the Secretariat was the highest-ranking official with real power.

Only the emperor's confidant could sit in this position, so the emperor was very disappointed in him.

"What benefits did the Prince of Huayuan give you that made you propose to take over his son?"

The Minister of the Central Secretariat did not dare to answer, but knelt down and cried, "I am innocent, I was only thinking for Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't need his answer. It was nothing more than ennobling his descendants after his heir succeeded to the throne. The old man had been a powerful official for a while and it was enough. He wanted the next generation to be prominent as well.

The emperor said solemnly: "In consideration of your past achievements, I will give you one chance, just one."

The Minister of the Central Secretariat had been frightened to the point of shivering, but in an instant the situation took a sudden turn for the better, and he could not help but feel deeply grateful for the emperor's grace.

"I, Your Majesty, thank you!"

After seeing this, the court officials no longer dared to discuss the issue of the successor, and Prince Lu and his party were relieved.

When Bei Jing first saw the emperor's skillful act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, she couldn't help but complain: "How insidious! He obviously didn't intend to demote that old guy from the beginning, but insisted on dragging him out to scare everyone.

The Minister of the Secretariat had no idea that the emperor had no intention of punishing him. The knife hanging over his head was taken away. I'm afraid he is now grateful to my father for his tolerance and will not dare to have such selfish thoughts in the future.

And when others saw that the emperor did not even spare his own trusted ministers, they dared not dance in my father's minefield anymore.

Insidious, really insidious. 】

Bei Jingchu looked towards the direction of the court and observed the various expressions of the ministers below. She didn't know that the emperor was staring at the back of her head with his eyes shining.
