Chapter 103: This throne, our Xiao family children can also sit on it
Xiao Lingzhao was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Already have it?
He set his eyes on Shen Yuanwei's waist and abdomen. He felt an indescribable joy in his heart, but also suddenly a strong sense of uneasiness.
If they go tonight to verify whether the baby in Yuan Wei's belly can absorb his power, and the baby has no sense of his power at all, does that mean that the baby in Yuan Wei's belly is the emperor's child, not his?
No……
He didn't want to face such a terrible reality.
He is obviously younger than the emperor, he had Yuan Wei before the emperor, and he obviously had all the advantages. If he still lost to the emperor, who was infertile, how sad would that be?
Xiao Lingzhao pursed his lips.
He said hoarsely, "The child can absorb my power. This is just my assumption. It may not be true. Let's... wait a little longer, okay?"
Shen Yuanwei heard the evasion in his voice.
Shen Yuanwei looked back at him in surprise.
"You don't dare to verify it? Xiao Lingzhao, you are an indomitable general. You should believe in yourself."
Xiao Lingzhao shook his head.
He doesn't believe in himself.
This isn't something he can definitely win as long as he believes in himself.
He can control the war, but he cannot control whose child Yuan Wei will get pregnant with.
Shen Yuanwei smiled.
"I don't care whether you believe in yourself or not, I believe in you anyway. You must give it a try tonight. Didn't you say that your parents were depressed and sick? If they knew that they had grandchildren, I think their illness would be cured without medicine -"
She told Xiao Lingzhao, "So no matter how much you struggle in your heart, you have to give it a try tonight. Tomorrow you leave the palace and tell them the good news."
Xiao Lingzhao sighed helplessly.
His Yuan Wei is always so domineering.
Thinking of his parents who were sick in bed and complaining of headaches all day long, his eyes dimmed.
He went home alone that day, and Yuan Wei didn't follow him. His parents got anxious when they saw him, and quickly closed the door to question him. Unfortunately, they heard the bad news from him that the king had taken his minister's wife...
The emperor had robbed the Xiao family's daughter-in-law, and the Xiao family had no way to say anything and had to keep the matter secret. The father was angry, and the mother cried. The two elders walked around the room for a few times, but they could not face this cruel reality. The two elders fainted immediately...
These days, my parents stayed at home and did not go out, sighing towards the direction of the palace all day long. My father was fine, even though he felt wronged and angry, he did not want to cry out for others to see, but my mother did not have to worry about anything, she would always cry while sighing, with tears all over her face...
The two old people were so depressed these days that they couldn't even eat. They said they had no appetite, headaches, and felt choked up. Every time he went back, they lay down and didn't want to get up...
Xiao Lingzhao took a deep breath.
He looked at Shen Yuanwei and nodded, "Okay, I'll try it tonight."
After a pause, he looked at the blue sky and said in a vague voice, "I hope God can bless our Xiao family once and give us good news so that my parents can be happy."
When Shen Yuanwei thought of her kind parents-in-law, she felt a little sad.
Looking up at Xiao Lingzhao's eyes, she said, "Not only do I want to make my parents happy, but I also want you to be happy."
Xiao Lingzhao looked at Shen Yuanwei's belly and said, "Okay, if I am lucky enough to have a child with Yuanwei, I will be very happy, happier than anyone else."
Shen Yuanwei thought that this child must be Xiao Lingzhao's.
It has to be.
She put her hands on the railing and suddenly asked Xiao Lingzhao in a low voice.
"He said he was poisoned by arsenic. According to the doctor, the poison would only keep him alive for a month at most. But now it's been 24 days. Why hasn't he died yet? Even if he's not dead, his internal organs would have already rotted away, and he wouldn't live for many days. But why do I see him eating and sleeping like normal every day, and occasionally throwing memorials at ministers and scolding them?"
Shen Yuanwei turned around and looked at Xiao Lingzhao.
"So, are we now 90% sure that he wasn't poisoned at all and he was deceiving us?"
Xiao Lingzhao nodded.
He whispered, "Well, not only is he not dead, he has not dealt with the Song family yet. Logically, if he was really on the verge of death by the Song family, he would have executed the Song family by slow slicing long ago, but the Song family is still alive and well in the Sky Prison, and no one has died..."
Glancing in the direction of the sleeping hall, he sneered, "He tricked us so badly."
Shen Yuanwei said, "He was the one who deceived us first. Now that we deceive him, we don't have to bear the debt of conscience. Don't you think so?"
Xiao Lingzhao's pupils shrank slightly.
He stared at Shen Yuanwei, "You want to..."
Shen Yuanwei said calmly, "I thought before that if he really died in a month, I would leave the palace with your child in my belly. We would not plot against the Xie family. Let the Xie family members fight for the throne. We would not interfere. The matter between the three of us would end with his death..."
Shen Yuanwei shook her head and sneered.
"But he's not dead..."
"He tore us apart, he deceived us all over. If he could deceive us like this, why can't we deceive him once?"
"He's trying every possible way to get a child, right? Then give it to him. Even if it's confirmed tonight that the child in my belly is yours, we'll pretend we know nothing. That child is his, the eldest prince who will inherit his throne."
Xiao Lingzhao pinched his palm hard with the fingers hanging by his side.
His heart was shaken.
He had had the same idea as Yuan Wei before.
When he learned from the doctor that the emperor he swore allegiance to might have pretended to be poisoned to deceive his wife, he also thought about confusing the royal bloodline. He wanted to use his child to deceive the emperor and take revenge on him...
But when the initial hatred faded, when he saw that the emperor tolerated him going into Yuan Wei's room every night to treat his illness, when he heard the emperor say he was sorry...
His desire for revenge is no longer as strong as before.
Hearing Shen Yuanwei mention it again at this moment, he clenched his palms and stared at Shen Yuanwei with complicated expressions.
He wanted to say something to stop Shen Yuanwei, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
In this matter, Yuan Wei, who was forced to sleep with him, felt more aggrieved than him. If he ignored Yuan Wei's grievances and insisted on persuading Yuan Wei to give up this idea, how could he be worthy of his former wife?
He didn't speak.
Shen Yuanwei thought he agreed and felt very happy.
She said, "You don't have to feel guilty towards the emperor. This country once belonged to the Liu family and the Qin family before it belonged to the Xie family. This is not something that only the Xie family has. Why can they sit on the throne and others can't? Your Xiao family has paid no less for this country than the Xie family. How many of your ancestors died on the battlefield? Now that you have a chance, why don't you try it?"
Xiao Lingzhao said nothing.
He looked at the mountains in the distance and remained silent for a long time.
…
At this moment beside the dragon bed.
Queen Mother Jiang sent Shen Yuanwei away and was also telling Xie Junlin about his pretending to be poisoned.
Queen Mother Jiang frowned, "In ten days or so, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide the fact that you were poisoned. How are you going to explain it to them? How are you going to deal with Concubine Zhao? With Concubine Zhao's lawless nature, will she let it go after being deceived by you like this?"
