Ye Zhaobai glanced at Xiao Su beside him, and Wan Ge immediately understood his meaning: "Xiao Su, you go down first."
"Yes," Xiao Su answered obediently, making sure to close the door properly before leaving.
After Xiao Su left, Ye Zhaobai finally spoke: "Wange, I can give you a child, but don't think about anything else."
Wan Ge, who was drinking tea, almost spat it out, but thankfully she held it in: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but if we have a child now, will it be a baby that's over ten months old? Besides, what are you going to do about Consort An?"
Ye Zhaobai immediately explained, "What I mean is that after the Crown Prince is born, I can give you a child."
Wan Ge's face immediately turned cold, and she replied, "No need."
Ye Zhaobai narrowed his eyes: "You don't want my child?"
Wan Ge snorted coldly: "I don't want my child to follow in my footsteps. Isn't it enough that I'm taking the blame myself? Do you want my child to take the fall for the Crown Prince?"
"That's not what I meant." Ye Zhaobai didn't expect her to think that way and subconsciously refuted her.
Wan Ge stood up, looked out the window, and then said, "When you first learned that I would be your future Crown Princess, you didn't think of using me as a shield, did you?"
The original owner was betrothed at the age of seven and then spent her time learning how to be a good crown princess. The horse-riding incident occurred when Wan Ge was twelve years old.
Ye Zhaobai only met An Shuke after the horse-riding incident, so he probably never intended to use her as a shield before.
Ye Zhaobai fell silent immediately.
Wan Ge asked again, "When the late emperor bestowed the marriage upon you, did Your Majesty feel even a moment of joy? Or did you only feel disgust?"
"I..." Ye Zhaobai fell silent. At that age, they didn't know anything about love.
He did have a good impression of Wan Ge at that time, and he wasn't opposed to the idea of them being together.
"Never mind, Your Majesty need not answer me. I am tired, Your Majesty may do as you please." After saying this, Wan Ge sat down on the soft couch, picked up a book and quietly began to read.
Ye Zhaobai chose to leave directly without using the secret passage.
After the emperor left, Xiao Su rushed in anxiously: "Your Majesty, are you alright? Did you have a conflict with His Majesty?"
This is the first time His Majesty has left Her Majesty's residence so quickly.
"It's alright, Xiao Su, you just stay outside and don't come in without my permission." Her little villain hadn't left yet, so he must still have something to say to her.
"Yes." Xiao Su obediently went out again.
…
Shu Qingmu entered Wan Ge's palace again, and the first thing she said was, "You're not pregnant?"
Wan Ge poured a cup of tea for the person in front of her and replied with a smile, "He never even touched me, so how could I be pregnant? Perhaps..."
Wan Ge leaned closer to the person in front of her, stood on tiptoe, put her hand on his shoulder, and barely managed to get her head close to his ear: "Perhaps it wouldn't be bad if Qing Mu gave me a child."
Shu Qingmu smiled and pulled her into his arms, finally whispering in her ear, "It's not impossible."
Shu Qingmu didn't know why, but hearing that they hadn't had a relationship before made her incredibly excited and happy.
That foolish emperor favored the fish eye and lost the pearl, so don't blame him for holding this pearl in his hands; from now on, this pearl will belong to him alone.
