Chapter 61 The Emperor is Crazy! He Said Such Things
Xiao Lingzhao met Xie Junlin's smiling eyes.
The feeling of powerlessness of being seen through and manipulated spread throughout his body.
He curled his fingers and his throat was dry.
yes.
No matter how much he and Yuan Wei pretended to love each other, they were just strangers who had just met for one day.
As a patient, he needs Yuan Wei to treat him. He can't live without Yuan Wei, but Yuan Wei doesn't necessarily need him.
Yuan Wei is willing to save him because she is kind-hearted. In fact, Yuan Wei has no responsibilities or obligations to him, and she can leave him at any time with peace of mind.
Just like when the emperor used a city to seduce Yuan Wei just now, he was actually very panicked and scared. He wanted to take Yuan Wei and escape immediately, but he knew better than anyone that as a one-night stand, he had no right to make Yuan Wei give up anything for him.
No matter how handsome he is, or how good he is to Yuan Wei, he cannot defeat a city.
Xiao Lingzhao swallowed hard, he clenched Shen Yuanwei's fingers in his palm, he still wanted to fight for it.
He spoke with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, you ruined my marriage and took my love away. Of course, you are immoral. Even though I have only known Yuan Wei for one day, she is still my wife, recognized by the government and worshipped by heaven and earth. She is a woman of the Xiao family who cannot be taken away by others!"
He stared into Xie Junlin's eyes. "Your Majesty said that there is no love between me and Yuan Wei. Then I dare to ask you, how many couples in this world are married because of love? How many people in this world have never even met each other before getting married, but became husband and wife just because of their parents' orders and matchmakers' words? If such loveless couples can be separated at will, then your Majesty, your world will be in chaos--"
He kowtowed and said, "I will say something disrespectful. You said that Yuan Wei and I don't love each other enough. Then how many of your concubines in the harem had a passionate love affair with you before getting married? Who do you love among them? If they don't love each other, they deserve to be separated. Then, Your Majesty, can you accept other men snatching your concubines away?"
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xiao Lingzhao in surprise.
Hey, he's usually not good at speaking, but when he's pushed into a corner, he can speak quite well? This set of reasons, must have forced Xie Junlin to be speechless, right?
Shen Yuanwei quickly looked at Xie Junlin. She was obviously also involved in the situation, but she wanted to listen to their hearty debate.
Unfortunately, Xie Junlin couldn't refute it.
Xie Junlin knew that Xiao Lingzhao's words offended Long Wei, but he didn't even have the courage to get angry.
Xie Junlin said slowly, "It's true that Shen Yuanwei is your wife, but she has only known you for one day. If she doesn't love you, I can let her take the initiative to divorce you. She didn't take the betrothal gift from your Xiao family, and you didn't marry her in a sedan chair, and there weren't even any guests to witness it. She has the right to regret this hasty marriage. If she wants to divorce you, you don't have the right to force her to stay, right?"
Xiao Lingzhao's breath was choked.
His fingernails dug into his palms.
The emperor knows how to take advantage of loopholes, and the emperor knows how to defeat him.
Xiao Lingzhao clenched his teeth, slowly turned his head, and stared at Shen Yuanwei with his dark eyes.
He said hoarsely, "Yuan Wei, I asked you this just now, right? You chose me, and you said with your own mouth that you wanted me, right? You said that as long as I take you away, you don't want anything else."
His voice trembled, "Tell the emperor that you don't want a divorce, you want me to--"
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xiao Lingzhao.
Those overly dark eyes and that almost humble look made her feel that this man was about to break.
It seemed that if she gave up on this man now, he would be completely shattered, along with his self-esteem and pride.
How could Shen Yuanwei bear to let this man break apart?
She was the one who chose this man first. This man was fighting the emperor for her. How could she abandon this man and let his self-esteem be destroyed and his pride crushed into mud?
Shen Yuanwei clenched his fingers and smiled at him, "Yes, I chose you, I want you, I only want you."
Xiao Lingzhao's tense back finally relaxed.
Shen Yuanwei's affirmative answer and her four words "I only want you" made his shaky self-esteem and pride become stable again.
He didn't lose.
Even if the emperor insisted on snatching her love away, he did not lose miserably.
The panic in his eyes was replaced by joy, and a smile spread to the corners of his mouth and spread to his entire face.
"Yuan Wei..."
He stretched out his arms, eager to hold Shen Yuanwei in his arms.
Xie Junlin slowly stretched out his arm and stood between the two of them.
Xiao Lingzhao turned his head and stared at Xie Junlin, his attitude becoming tough again, "Your Majesty, did you hear that? Yuan Wei said that she will not divorce me. She chose me, and she only wants me!"
Xie Junlin ignored Xiao Lingzhao.
His eyes fell on Shen Yuanwei.
He knew that after the three of them had talked about everything to this extent today, the attitude of Xiao Lingzhao, his "one-night lover", was no longer important. The one who could really make the decision was Shen Yuanwei herself.
If Shen Yuanwei chooses to go with Xiao Lingzhao, Xiao Lingzhao will fight to the death for Shen Yuanwei and take Shen Yuanwei out of the palace.
But if Shen Yuanwei gave up on her own, Xiao Lingzhao would no longer resist.
And he had plenty of ways to trick Shen Yuanwei into giving up...
He did not avoid Xiao Lingzhao. In front of Xiao Lingzhao, he smiled and made an offer that Shen Yuanwei could not refuse.
"Miss Yuan Wei, have you ever thought about why men can have three wives and four concubines?"
"Men can have many women at the same time, isn't it because they hold power? If you have power, you can also have three wives and four concubines as a woman."
"As long as you dare to do it, as long as you don't care about the gossips of the world, you can also enjoy the blessing of having multiple men in your city at the same time."
"Look, you can first give birth to a child for a powerful man, in exchange for a city and become a vassal king. When you have power, you can place your favorite man in your city and live happily for the rest of your life. Isn't this more comfortable than living in someone else's general's mansion and having to look at his face?"
"Having a child will only delay your time for a year, but you can still have a long life with the man you love the most. Isn't it worth it?"
“…”
Shen Yuanwei looked at Xie Junlin in disbelief.
No, this dog emperor has gone crazy just to have a child, right?
In order to seduce her into having a child, he could even say something like this?
Not only Shen Yuanwei was dumbfounded, Xiao Lingzhao also suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Junlin in a ridiculous manner!
His monarch has finally gone mad, right?
Since he couldn't rob him of the woman, he used this despicable and ridiculous method to deceive and seduce his wife?
After staring at Xie Junlin for three breaths, Xiao Lingzhao suddenly clenched Shen Yuanwei's fingers and gritted his teeth to expose Xie Junlin.
"Yuan Wei, don't believe the emperor. He is lying to you!"
"As an emperor, he would never allow his woman to leave him and live happily with another man!"
"Now that you refuse to obey him, he uses these words to deceive you. When you really become his woman and give birth to his child, how can he let you go? How can he allow the mother of his child to cheat on him outside and make him and the young prince a laughing stock in the world?"
Xie Junlin's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Yeah, Ling Zhao saw through me.
He did deceive Shen Yuanwei.
Shen Yuanwei is now determined to only want Xiao Lingzhao, and wants to run away with Lingzhao. He doesn't want to take action against the Xiao family and Lingzhao, so he can only persuade Shen Yuanwei to divorce and marry him...
After Shen Yuanwei followed him, he could reward her with the city and give her the title of Queen. However, Shen Yuanwei wanted to abandon him and keep another man, which would bring shame to him and the prince, and he, as an emperor, would never allow it.
However, there is no need to let Shen Yuanwei know these words.
The most important thing now is to snatch Shen Yuanwei from Ling Zhao first, right?
He wants Shen Yuanwei and he wants a divorce from Ling Zhao!
