Chapter 158 I make you my imperial concubine, will you stay?
woke up?
I want to see him as soon as I wake up. Are you willing to stay in the palace with him for the sake of the child?
Xie Junlin was overjoyed and immediately walked towards the room.
Just as he took a step, Song Suihuan added, "The Queen said that she also wanted to see General Xiao and Prime Minister Wei."
Xie Junlin’s smile froze.
He looked back at Song Suihuan and had two guesses in his mind.
As soon as she woke up, she was eager to meet Prime Minister Wei, an outsider. I'm afraid Yuan Wei is thinking of entrusting the child to the Wei family?
General Xiao and Prime Minister Wei looked at each other and both had the same guess.
The daughter-in-law was willing to give up being a noble concubine and was determined to return to their Xiao family. How could General Xiao not cooperate with his daughter-in-law?
He immediately bowed.
"Your Majesty, I know it is not proper for me to enter Concubine Zhao's room at this moment, but she is so uncomfortable and still wants to see me. I am afraid she has something to say. I want to go and see--"
Xie Junlin looked at the old general's earnest words, and the refusal was at the tip of his throat, but he couldn't utter it out loud.
He already has two sons, and Yuan Wei has already fulfilled her promise to give birth to his children. Now Yuan Wei is in pain all over and has made such a request. Is he still going to refuse?
That's too cruel.
He endured the pain in his heart and motioned for the two old men to follow him.
When the three of them walked into the room, the glaring blood on the ground came into view.
The three grown men stared at each other, their hearts slightly shaken.
How much blood can a person have? How come so much blood was lost?
Xie Junlin felt extremely distressed. He stepped over the bloody handkerchief on the ground and sat down beside the bed.
He held Shen Yuanwei's fingers tightly and gently moved her messy hair behind her ears.
"You've worked hard, Yuan Wei. You gave birth to two little princes for me. I went from being a childless emperor that everyone laughed at to an emperor with two sons."
His happiness was beyond words.
He said, "Our two sons are both fine. Although they are a little thin due to premature birth, they are healthy and pretty. They are loved by everyone. Do you want to see your two children? I will ask the nurse to bring them to you for a look, okay?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded.
Although she, as a heartless mother, wanted to abandon the two children and leave, after all, they were her own flesh and blood that she had been carrying for so long, she still wanted to take a look at them.
Chen Hai quickly came in with two wet nurses.
The two babies had been washed clean by the wet nurse, wrapped in small red swaddling clothes, and their wet and sparse hair had been wiped dry. The two children were also fed with milk.
No longer soaking in the amniotic fluid, their skin was no longer wrinkled. Only half an hour had passed, and they began to look better again.
Well-fed, warmly clothed and with someone to comfort them, the two little ones stopped crying. They stayed quietly in their nurse's arms and slept soundly.
The wet nurse bent down and showed the child to Shen Yuanwei.
Shen Yuanwei was prepared to see an ugly child.
She was surprised when she saw two beautiful little babies.
"Aren't newborn babies ugly? How can they be so beautiful?"
Xie Junlin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He said gently, "Because their father and mother are both very beautiful, especially their mother, who is as beautiful as a fairy. How dare they grow up to be ugly?"
Shen Yuanwei looked at the two unexpectedly beautiful children and suddenly felt that the wound didn't hurt so much anymore.
She created two such beautiful little angels. In the future, there will be two more beauties pleasing to the eyes in the world. Doesn’t she feel a sense of accomplishment?
She felt very accomplished.
She endured the pain and gently stroked the two children's cheeks.
Soft.
Cute child.
She looked at the one on the left, then at the one on the right, and felt that the two children looked similar. There was no special feature or memorable point. This...
It's impossible to tell who Xiao Lingzhao is.
Shen Yuanwei took a quick look and didn't bother to identify it anymore.
Wait until Xiao Lingzhao comes back and find an opportunity to transfer some strength and try to confirm it.
Seeing that Shen Yuanwei liked the two children so much, Xie Junlin couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
He said, "These two children are so cute and well-behaved. Let's grow up with them together, okay? Now that you have given birth to two little princes, I will immediately make you a noble concubine, with a status second only to that of the queen—"
Shen Yuanwei paused.
She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Junlin.
She slowly withdrew her fingers, little by little, and stopped touching the child.
As she withdrew her hand, the light in Xie Junlin's eyes slowly dimmed.
He didn't want to hear Shen Yuanwei's answer.
But Shen Yuanwei still told him cruelly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I want to go back to the Xiao family."
"I told you that the palace is not suitable for me at all. Look, it really is not suitable for me. If it were any other concubine, who would stab your mother with a knife? But I dare to do so. I am so foolish and bold that I don't care about my life. I am destined not to be a concubine who abides by the rules in the palace..."
She pointed at the bloody handkerchiefs on the ground again.
"Besides, Your Majesty, look at the blood all over the floor, look at the wound on my stomach that was cut open alive, do you think that I can still stay here and live in peace with your mother after what she did to me?"
"If I stay away from the palace, out of sight and out of mind, then I can still swallow this hatred."
"But if I stay in the palace forever, and see her picking on me in a weird way every day, and see her trying every way to snatch my child to her palace, then my hatred for her will not disappear, but will only become more severe..."
"If this continues, she and I will kill each other sooner or later."
"Your Majesty, please don't argue with me about whether she will find fault with me. She is the Queen Mother and I stabbed her. She will never let it go. She will always remember this hatred and it will stab her in the heart from time to time."
"Especially when the weather changes and old injuries recur, my wound hurts and I hate her, her wound hurts and she hates me. If we bump into each other, neither of us will spare the other—"
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xie Junlin.
She sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is your mother, and I am the mother of your two children. You don't want to lose your biological mother, and you won't watch your children lose their biological mother, right?"
"Only if I leave can this situation where one of us is bound to die be changed."
Xie Junlin had nothing to say.
He could no longer make any guarantees for his mother.
What his mother did today was still laid out here in blood.
Shen Yuanwei signaled to the two wet nurses, "You go out first and let the two old ladies hold the child first."
The two wet nurses turned around, one handed the child to the old Prime Minister Wei, and the other handed the child to the old General Xiao.
Prime Minister Wei held the child in his arms, feeling flattered.
General Xiao was so excited that his fingers were shaking.
Looking down at the soundly sleeping child, he felt his heart burning with excitement at the thought that this might be his grandson.
This rough old man held the tiny swaddling baby with extra care, feeling the weight of his grandson. Even though he tried hard to control his emotions, he couldn't help but shed tears.
