"Your Majesty, if you let me go to sea, I will give you the antidote. With the antidote, Your Majesty will be able to have children normally in the future. You only need to spare my life, and you will have many princes."
Xie Huaixing knew the importance of offspring to men in ancient times. There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst one is to have no offspring.
What’s more, the one who is infertile is Your Majesty.
To be fair, if he were an emperor and had no children, he would probably feel extremely unwilling.
He believed that the bait he threw was attractive enough and that this should be the last straw for the emperor.
Even if he had doubts in his heart, he would still gamble on this slight possibility.
The emperor held Xu Lingyi's hand and sneered in his heart.
Xu Lingyi is already pregnant with his child. He will only be with her in this life and he cannot tolerate other women getting close to him.
Therefore, the emperor did not care much about the antidote that Xie Huaixing mentioned.
But at this moment he still took the opportunity to ask, "How do I know whether what you said is true or not? What if I let you go, but all this is just your fabrication?"
Xie Huaixing had long expected the emperor to ask this question, and he had already prepared a countermeasure in his mind.
"All my family members are in your Majesty's care, and my beloved is also in the capital. I just want to stay alive and don't want them to die tragically because of me. For their sake, I will not and will never dare to deceive your Majesty."
Xu Lingyi looked at him with a complicated expression.
Now that she knew that the person in this body was not the real Xie Huaixing, she understood everything that happened in her previous life.
Xie Huaixing was confident that after he said this, the emperor's doubts would surely dissipate.
"Do you really care about the Xie family? Do you care about the life of that female doctor?" Xu Lingyi sneered and couldn't help asking.
Xie Huaixing is a promiscuous person. In his previous life, he seemed to like the female doctor, but he also liked Xu Lingmian. Even after she entered the palace, he seemed to have feelings for her.
After he ascended the throne, he took in quite a few women.
The Xie family is not his real family, and in his heart, that female doctor may just be a pet he likes more.
Xu Lingyi felt that all this was a scam.
Xie Huaixing didn't expect Xu Lingyi to say such a thing.
"Of course, who doesn't care about their loved ones? I don't dare to gamble with their lives, so Your Majesty, what I say is the truth."
"Was it your family who poisoned His Majesty?" Xu Lingyi asked.
He had already had a preconceived idea about this issue in his mind, and of course he could not admit that the Xie family was involved.
"The poison in your majesty's body is not an ordinary poison, nor can it be easily planted in one go. Only those close to your majesty can persist for a long time, so that the poison can spread throughout your majesty's body. This is not something our family can do."
This statement is eighty percent true and two percent false.
The poison was actually administered by his father.
Xie's father has the leverage over that person.
Xu Lingyi noticed that the emperor held her hand with a little force.
Did the emperor believe Xie Huaixing's words? Or perhaps he already had a guess in his mind?
"Then how did your Xie family know about this?" Xu Lingyi asked.
"Your Majesty, the poison in your body was obtained by your master from Medicine King Valley. My beloved is the disciple of the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, and I learned all this from her."
"There is only one antidote left, and I have hidden it somewhere only I know."
The emperor's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he looked so cold that it made people shudder.
"Xie Huaixing, I don't need an antidote, and I won't spare your life."
The emperor's voice was cold.
Xie Huaixing's pupils widened slightly: "Your Majesty, don't you care about your offspring? Don't you want to cure the poison in your body?"
The emperor just sneered and didn't answer his question: "This is not your concern. Prince Xie, you should worry about your own life."
"Torture him severely and dig something out of him. I also want to see what else the Xie family has done."
"Your Majesty, if anything happens to me, the antidote will be destroyed! Do you really want to take action against me?"
Xie Huaixing roared behind the emperor, but watched him and Xu Lingyi walk away, indifferent.
Finally, when the emperor and Xu Lingyi were about to walk out of the prison, he had no choice but to shout out his last words to Xu Lingyi.
He wanted to tell her that if he died, the real Xie Huaixing would not survive.
But before he could finish his words, someone covered his mouth.
"You think you can disturb the Empress and His Majesty?"
After coming out of the Heavenly Prison, Xu Lingyi found that the emperor was in a low mood.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Xu Lingyi held his hand. "Is it because of what he said?"
The emperor nodded: "Yes and no, I was just thinking of some past events."
"Xie Huaixing's words cannot be trusted, and perhaps they are not true."
Just like he always said that he cared about the Xie family.
The emperor put his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Actually, I know who poisoned me, but I just haven't told my mother."
Xu Lingyi looked up: "Your Majesty knows?"
The emperor nodded, so he was certain that he was infertile.
"Is he your master?" Xu Lingyi asked.
She had never heard of this person from the emperor.
"It's not Master, he is a true and enlightened monk. Even if he made mistakes in his youth, it was his experiences in his youth that allowed him to understand the world. Father and Mother dared to entrust me to him because they knew Master's virtue."
Even the emperor would find it difficult to feel any resentment when thinking of his former master.
He is a living Buddha who saves the world and has a compassionate heart. He has saved countless people.
"Who is that?"
