Chapter 2 No one can save her? She can save her! She comes
Emperor Xie Junlin looked at the loyal old eunuch beside him.
He rubbed his brows with his slender fingers, his eyes filled with self-loathing.
Of course he knew that those people were coveting his throne, but what could he do since he was infertile?
His voice was indifferent, "I got married at the age of eighteen, and now another eighteen years have passed, but I still don't have a son or a daughter. The fact that I can't have children is known to the world, so why should I hold a beauty pageant and make people laugh at me?"
The old eunuch was silent.
Not only did the emperor refuse to hold a beauty contest, he hadn't even been to the harem for eight months.
He has lost hope and given up on himself.
The old eunuch whispered, "Maybe it's not the emperor's problem, but the concubines' inability to have children? Select a group of young concubines, maybe..."
Xie Junlin lowered his eyes and laughed at himself, "If one of us can't have children, then all the women in the three palaces and six courtyards can't have children? All the women in the world who can't have children have been summoned into the palace by me?"
The eunuch fell silent again.
After a long while, the eunuch finally mustered up the courage to risk his life to make the suggestion.
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask you to try to find a woman who has given birth to a child. I have heard that some women can easily get pregnant. You can find those who have given birth to seven or eight children. Maybe they can bring good pregnancy to Your Majesty..."
Xie Junlin raised his eyes and looked at the old eunuch.
The gaze from the majestic emperor made the old eunuch's scalp tingle, and he knelt down in panic.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I am a loyal servant!"
"Although the woman who gave birth to seven or eight children in a row is already old and has lost her good looks, and is far less beautiful than the concubines in the harem, but, but for the sake of the succession of the country, Your Majesty...why don't you give it a try?"
Xie Junlin looked at the shivering old eunuch with deep eyes.
It's not that he despises those women who have given birth to children. It's just that if they can give birth to seven or eight children with their husbands, they must have a very good relationship. In order to test whether those women can conceive for him, he forcibly separates the couples, causing the men to lose their wives and seven or eight children to lose their mothers. What kind of wise king is he?
Besides, if he really wanted to experiment, one would definitely not be enough. How many women like this would he have to bring into the palace?
How many sins must he commit before he is done?
"emperor……"
"Shut up."
Xie Junlin signaled the old eunuch to shut up.
His dark eyes looked into the distance.
Doesn't he want to have a child? He dreams of having a child, but he has tried for more than ten years and he just can't have one.
He used to place his hopes on his younger brother, Prince Rui, and wanted him to have a child to adopt. However, his younger brother was born introverted and afraid of women. Last time, his mother gave him several beauties, which stimulated him so much that he banged his head against the wall in despair. Now his younger brother hides in his room all day and cuts his wrists to torture himself. How dare he let his younger brother have a child?
His kingdom is destined to have no successor.
No woman could give birth to a child for him, and no one could save him from being childless.
He murmured to himself.
"No one can save me, the emperor who is destined to have no heirs, my young brother, Prince Rui, who hides under the bed and cuts his wrists all day, and my brave general Xiao Lingzhao..."
"No one can save us..."
…
Shen Yuanwei was unaware of the despair of the heirless emperor, and she landed in the alley next to the general's mansion.
As soon as she landed and stood firmly, she quickly checked her body.
She shone a light into the puddle on the ground and was surprised to find that not only had the bloody bullet hole on her forehead disappeared, but she had also turned from twenty-five to eighteen years old!
"I've become seven years younger after dying. What a great deal!"
She stroked her antique clothes and fiddled with her complicated hair, looking in the direction of the imperial palace with her red lips slightly curled.
"Of course, at the age of 18, I would go find the handsome, beautiful, and clean God of War to play a game of redemption. Who wants to give birth to a child for a 36-year-old emperor? Who wants to play palace fighting with a group of concubines?"
"What if I, a powerless person, give birth to a child, and that bastard emperor kills me and takes my child away to give to his queen to raise? Wouldn't it be a waste for me to travel through time and give birth to a child for them?"
"Of course I have to marry the God of War first. With the support of such a large military family, the emperor and empress will not have the disgusting plan of killing the mother and keeping the son in the future..."
Shen Yuanwei walked out of the alley and came to the gate of the general's mansion.
Is he the God of War General?
Let her see how handsome this God of War is.
At this moment, the general's mansion was filled with gloom and sorrow.
The old general Xiao Zhen fought on the battlefield all his life. His four sons and two daughters all died for the country. He finally gave birth to a son, Xiao Lingzhao, who was born with great strength. But Xiao Lingzhao is now suffering from the backlash of the strange power in his body. He is unconscious most of the day, and when he goes crazy, he can't tell friend from foe. The only thing they can do is lock him up with chains before he loses control.
"well."
The white-haired General Xiao sighed. He had already decided to go to his death alone. He was explaining his funeral arrangements to the old lady.
"Ling Zhao is now awake less and less. If he continues like this, he will completely turn into a madman and lose his life. Only the descendant of the ghost doctor can use silver needles to eliminate the strange power in his body and save his life."
"But the Ghost Doctor's descendant hated me for exposing her father's murder and taking credit for his crimes, which caused her family to be destroyed. She wanted me to commit suicide in front of her before she would save Ling Zhao."
"Madam, I have experienced the pain of losing my son six times. I cannot lose Ling Zhao again. As long as I can save him, why would I be afraid of giving up my life?"
"I just worry about Ling Zhao. If he knew that his father died to save him, he would probably have a demon in his heart and would never forgive himself. Especially since he would lose his great strength and go from being a brilliant god of war to a cripple. This would be a heart-wrenching blow..."
"Madam, after I leave, Ling Zhao will be handed over to you. You must promise me that you will guide him well and encourage him to cheer up. Tell him that he is my son, Xiao Zhen, and even if he doesn't have great strength, he can still return to the battlefield and be invincible."
The old lady clenched the old general's hand and tears kept falling.
She didn't know why God was so cruel to her.
If she did not allow her husband to commit suicide, her son would die. If she wanted to save her son, she would have to watch her gray-haired husband commit suicide.
Why!
Their family is full of loyal and brave people, why doesn't God bless them a little more? Why does he let them go through this kind of torture!
The old general gently wiped away the old lady's tears, "Okay, don't cry, I'm gone and you'll be alone... You have to take care of yourself."
The old lady burst into tears, "I don't want you to go..."
The old general patted his wife's back gently, tears streaming down his face.
He didn't want to die either.
But he had to let his son live.
The old general hardened his heart, gently pushed his wife away, picked up his sword, stood up and limped out of the hall.
The servants outside the hall knelt on the ground.
The old general walked past them, and they all stood up and followed him sobbing.
Their old general has spent half his life in the military. He has been shot by arrows five times, injured more than a dozen times, and has a limp in one leg. Now the old general has to kneel in humiliation and commit suicide at someone's doorstep in order to save his only son. How can God treat this old hero so cruelly?
God……
Who can come and save their old general? Who can come and save their young general?
Amidst desperate sobs, Shen Yuanwei raised her hand and knocked on the copper ring on the door.
“Knock knock knock—”
The sudden knock on the door stunned everyone in the general's mansion who were filled with sadness and despair.
Ever since their major general got into trouble and was imprisoned in the mansion a year ago, fewer and fewer guests have come to their mansion, and no one has knocked on the door for half a month.
Who is coming now?
Could it be that the ghost doctor's descendant couldn't wait any longer and came to take the old general's life?
They looked at the old general in panic and helplessness, each of their eyes was filled with tears. Oh God, who can come and save their old general? Their old general cannot die!
The old general was ready to die.
"Don't move, I'm going. I can't escape what's coming. If I can use my life to exchange for Ling Zhao's survival, I will die with no regrets!"
