He pinched her face with his big hands.
"Am I just imagining things?
That day in the cemetery, you cried in grievance, blaming me for not visiting you in the past six months. Now that I have taken the initiative, what have you done?
Sheng Xiyan, you are playing with me, do you really think I have so much patience? Do you have to be with me? "
“Wuwuwu…”
"Don't cry, speak, I want to hear you tell the truth."
Sheng Xiyan didn't dare to say that she didn't want to have children. What was her duty as a concubine? It was to provide the royal family with offspring, otherwise it would be like raising a waste.
Xuan Ling's patience ran out. He pinched her waist, lifted her up, and walked towards the inner hall.
Throw it onto the golden rosewood bed,
Before Sheng Xiyan could get up and run, she was pinned down and unable to move.
"Sheng Xiyan, I can't bear it anymore. You must sleep with me today."
With a swish, the outer garment of the peony flower of kudzu was torn to pieces.
*********
Sheng Xiyan cried in panic, her mind was in a mess. She knew she couldn't escape, but she was very conflicted.
The crying became quieter and quieter, and she even stopped struggling. Xuan Ling looked up and saw the beauty sobbing with her arms covering her mouth.
He was immediately disappointed. He was the emperor. When did he ever need to force himself to possess a woman?
Sheng Xiyan's eyes were squeezed into two seamless peaches, and she cried in panic.
"...I don't want to sleep with you because I don't want to get pregnant...I don't want to give birth to a child."
Sheng Xiyan knew that she had touched Emperor Xuanwu's reverse scale. If she didn't explain it clearly, he might never show her mercy again.
Xuan Ling stood up and paced.
"Serving the emperor in bed and bearing the heir are your two responsibilities as a concubine.
Sheng Xiyan, you are starting to lose track of your place again."
"I know I am in the wrong, so I can be the emperor's personal female physician."
Xuan Ling sneered, "I don't need a female medical officer. It's not that I look down on you, but your salary as a female medical officer can't even support the palace maids."
After a long time, the beauty's crying voice moved people's hearts.
"Sleeping is sleeping, don't use having children as an excuse. I think you are still thinking about him and don't accept me."
"I don't have any..."
Xuan Ling sat down and pushed her snow-white arm.
"Who said you can get pregnant just by sleeping with me? I can allow you to have fun for a while before having a child."
Sheng Xiyan said aggrievedly: "I have a physique that is easy to get pregnant. I got pregnant a month after getting married... Wuwuwu...
Why do I have to sleep with you? Your Majesty and I have many common interests and hobbies. We can be good teachers and helpful friends..."
The emperor gritted his teeth, "Who wants to be your mentor?"
"Then, Your Majesty, can you give me some time to overcome my fear?"
"What are you afraid of? Am I that scary?"
"I'm not afraid of the emperor, I'm afraid... Since that day, the bloody mattress under Concubine Shen has often appeared in my mind."
Xuan Ling's dragon brows and phoenix eyes were tightly knitted. He put on his robe and stood up, saying in a deep voice: "I will give you time. Come to me when you have made up your mind."
He regretted that he shouldn't have let Sheng Xiyan take care of Concubine Shen's childbirth. Now, he still had to endure the aftereffects.
The imperial carriage left, and Hua Xia came out from the side room.
Meixiang said sadly, "Sister Huaxia, it seems we need to prepare to store food now."
"Don't worry, I'll go see the queen."
She walked in and saw Sheng Xiyan wrapped in a quilt, staring blankly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how to put it. I understand you and the Emperor at the same time."
"Are you better from your cold?"
"He's recovered. The emperor looked so scary just now. I'm afraid this test won't be so easy."
Sheng Xiyan wiped away her tears.
“Palace maids can leave the palace at the age of 25, but concubines cannot.
The Emperor said that he wanted me to give birth to seven or eight children. Why does he always have such high expectations of me?
I simply can’t do it... What if the first one I give birth to dies?
What if he becomes an orphan? "
