Chapter 109: To confer the title of Earl on Xiao Lingzhao?
Shen Yuanwei blinked.
The reason why she wanted Song Suihuan was because of Xiao Lingzhao.
The child is growing up day by day. When Xiao Lingzhao transfers part of the power in his body to the child, he will be able to become a normal person again. But he suddenly recovered from his illness and stopped going crazy. There must be a reason, right?
She recovered from her illness without any reason. Given the emperor's suspicious nature, he might have suspected that there was something wrong with the baby in her belly...
So she wanted Song Suihuan.
With this miracle doctor around, Xiao Lingzhao's recovery would be a natural process.
Shen Yuanwei hid her thoughts and said calmly:
"Song Suihuan and I do have some minor conflicts, but she hasn't really done anything to harm me. A few arguments with me can't be considered a mortal enemy, right?"
"After all, she is a miracle doctor who can cure many people's diseases. Her value is greater when she is alive than when she is dead. Although the Song family has committed an unforgivable crime by poisoning the emperor, the poison was given by Song Suihuan's mother, not her. Your Majesty, please spare her life and let her continue to practice medicine and save lives to atone for her sins, okay?"
Xie Junlin held Shen Yuanwei's chin and stared at her meaningfully.
She speaks in high-sounding terms, but is she really doing this for the people of the world?
"You are obviously vindictive and not a tolerant person. You are so aggressive even against an emperor like me, let alone others? Tell me, who do you want Song Suihuan for?"
Without waiting for Shen Yuanwei to answer, he pointed in the direction outside the hall and said, "You are here for Xiao Lingzhao, right?"
Shen Yuanwei blinked, "Has the emperor seen through me?"
She nodded and said, "Since the emperor has seen through it, I won't hide it. I did it for Xiao Lingzhao and the two elders of the Xiao family. I was originally their daughter-in-law, but I left them because of the emperor. They are already very sad. Now that they see that I want to give birth to a child for you, but they have no children, I'm afraid they will be even more shocked-"
She looked at Xie Junlin and said, "So, Your Majesty, I want Song Suihuan to go to the Xiao family to take care of them. I don't want them to be bedridden and die of depression. If I let those two old people who love me die of illness, it will be a sin that I can never redeem..."
Xie Junlin and Queen Mother Jiang looked at each other and said nothing.
In this matter, they were sorry to the two elders of the Xiao family.
They are so happy today that they have a successor, but the Xiao family doesn't know how miserable it is...
Shen Yuanwei continued, "And Xiao Lingzhao, it's not a good idea for him to be away from me all the time because of his illness. He is a military commander, he should get well and do his work, how can he just waste his time in the palace like an ordinary guard? So I want Song Suihuan to go to the Xiao family and study his illness. Song Suihuan is a skilled doctor, maybe he can cure him without abolishing Xiao Lingzhao's power? If Xiao Lingzhao recovers, he won't have to bother the emperor every day in the future, don't you think?"
Xie Junlin pondered in silence.
actually……
The reason why he hadn't dealt with the Song family for so many days was that he felt that Song Suihuan was an excellent doctor and it would be a pity to kill him. Keeping him alive would benefit the people of the world.
Song Suihuan only has a grudge against him, but not against the people of the world. Song Suihuan will always do his best to cure the people of the world.
As the emperor, why would he kill the miracle doctor who could save his people from danger?
only……
After all, the Song family poisoned him, and he agreed to release Song Suihuan so readily. Would Yuan Wei be more certain that he was not poisoned and was just faking illness to deceive people?
Seeing his hesitation, Shen Yuanwei deliberately said slowly, "Your Majesty, if the Song family really killed the emperor, it would be a heinous crime, but Your Majesty, aren't you lucky and have survived? I see that you haven't coughed up blood these days, and your spirits are getting better and better. You don't look like a dying person at all—"
Xie Junlin's back suddenly became stiff.
Queen Mother Jiang also felt uncomfortable for a moment.
They are pretending to be sick to deceive people, so of course they feel very guilty.
Shen Yuanwei smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, you look so rosy-cheeked. I'm afraid you are already well. I hope you live a long life. Why should we make things so difficult for Song Suihuan? We should just punish the main culprit. Song Suihuan and her two sisters-in-law are actually quite innocent, right?"
“…”
Xie Junlin glanced at Shen Yuanwei silently.
Facing Shen Yuanwei's eyes as clear as mirrors, he touched his nose and coughed lightly.
Yuan Wei really guessed that he was pretending to be sick...
But it's not hard to guess. He said a few days ago that he was going to die soon, and now he's not dead yet, so anyone would guess it...
He hugged Shen Yuanwei's shoulders and said guiltily, "Well, I'll give Song Suihuan to you. Let's not mention certain things in the future and let it go, okay? From now on, I will recover from my illness. You should take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to our prince. When the time comes, if you want freedom, I will give it to you. Don't make trouble with me about the child in your belly, okay?"
Shen Yuanwei had no reason to refuse.
What if she makes a fuss?
Can you still kill the king?
There will be no result anyway, so why bother?
Shen Yuanwei leaned in his arms, "Okay, I promise the emperor, we will put your poisoning behind us and no one will mention it again. But you have to remember that you deceived Xiao Lingzhao, and now he has to watch me bear you a child. He is really pitiful. You...be nice to him in the future."
Xie Junlin breathed a sigh of relief.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, if Song Suihuan cures Xiao Lingzhao's illness, and if Lingzhao makes contributions again, I will give him a higher title, okay? But it's not possible now. He has been ill for a year and has not made any contributions. If I rashly give him a higher title without any reason, it will definitely lead to speculation..."
Shen Yuanwei agreed.
She looked at Queen Mother Jiang and said with a smile, "Mother, please bear witness for me. The Emperor promised me. You can't let him lie to me again."
Queen Mother Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that Zhaopin's lawless character would cause a huge quarrel with her son. What if the precious little prince in her belly was hurt?
She smiled and said, "Isn't it just to confer a title on Xiao Lingzhao? Title! He is already a god of war, and after he makes more contributions, he will be conferred the title of earl, which will be hereditary for three generations. Are you happy with this?"
Shen Yuanwei asked with a smile, "Earl? I thought it was Marquis..."
Queen Mother Jiang pointed at her and scolded her with a smile, "You are still greedy. How about making him a Duke? He is so young, and you make him a marquis. What will those old officials think? Besides, he will make more contributions in the future. If he is made a marquis now, what will he do in the future?"
Shen Yuanwei had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then I'll make him an Earl. This is something that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have both agreed to. My baby is listening, and his father and grandmother can't lie to him—"
When the Queen Mother heard the words "Imperial Grandmother", she immediately smiled so hard that she couldn't stop.
I really hope that my little grandson will be born soon and call her “Grandmother” in person.
Xie Junlin also smiled dotingly.
Father...
He also looked forward to his son being born soon and calling him father.
Shen Yuanwei looked up at Xie Junlin and said cautiously, "I want to go to the prison to release Song Suihuan in person later—"
Xie Junlin gently pinched her cheek and shook his head, "No, you are pregnant now, how can you go to such a dirty place? What if you hurt the baby in your belly?"
Shen Yuanwei gently shook his sleeves, "No, Your Majesty, please agree to me. I want to get back at you. You know Song Suihuan humiliated me before. I want to personally show her kindness, so that I can feel more comfortable--"
Xie Junlin burst out laughing, "You don't try to hide it, but insist on showing off that you are more capable than her, right?"
Shen Yuanwei smiled and said, "Yes, I want to make her feel ashamed and grateful to me for saving her life. This way, she will never go against me again."
