Chapter 76: Bad news came, the emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma
She could clearly see what emotions were flowing in his eyes.
She didn't want to refuse.
She knew better than anyone how much injustice and humiliation Xiao Lingzhao had suffered in the palace today. She also wanted to have physical intimacy with this man to ease the negative emotions brought to them by the dog emperor.
But……
She stretched out her hand and hooked it around Xiao Lingzhao's neck. "Is it not possible now? We still have to change clothes and go to dinner. Dad and Mom are still waiting."
Xiao Lingzhao rested his forehead against hers, "I just want to kiss you, I won't do anything else."
Shen Yuanwei looked at him with a smile, "Okay, let me see if you have such good self-control..."
Before Shen Yuanwei finished her words, Xiao Lingzhao lowered his head and kissed her, drowning out her lingering sound between his lips and teeth.
She now likes her husband very much, and she also likes to be close to her husband. She tilted her head slightly, responded little by little, and then watched this calm general lose his self-control in front of her.
She felt dizzy and was placed on the small couch by Xiao Lingzhao, who held her waist.
She looked up at Xiao Lingzhao on her body and laughed out loud.
"I said, you can't just kiss--"
Xiao Lingzhao also found it funny that he was so confident before and out of control at the moment, but what did it matter?
He said, "It's not normal to have no resistance to your wife, huh?"
He lowered his head and allowed himself to continue to indulge.
The clothes slowly scattered all over the ground.
When the two were in a good mood, footsteps were suddenly heard in the courtyard outside.
The next moment, someone banged on their door.
"General!"
"Eunuch Chen Hai from the emperor's side has come to our house with medicinal herbs. The old general asked you to go out and greet him—"
“…”
The voice of guard Xiao Yun forced Xiao Lingzhao to stop.
He lowered his head to look at Shen Yuanwei, who he had almost peeled clean like a green bamboo shoot, with a deep and unremovable resentment in his eyes.
Anyone who is interrupted at this time will not be in a good mood.
He gritted his teeth, "The Emperor really is... haunting!"
Shen Yuanwei gathered her clothes and agreed very much.
Isn't it like a ghost that lingers around? It's like a ghost that follows you closely.
They all returned to their homes, but the dog emperor actually asked Chen Hai to deliver medicinal herbs to ruin their plans.
Did the emperor do it on purpose?
The two did not answer, and Xiao Yun outside knocked on the door louder and louder.
"General! Did you hear that? Eunuch Chen Hai, who is beside the Emperor, is here!"
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao stood up and pressed his forehead hard.
He said in a deep voice, "I know, I'll be right there."
Xiao Yun was stunned when he heard that Xiao Lingzhao's voice sounded a little strange.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs.
It's over. It seems like he has ruined the general's plan. Will the general skin him alive?
Xiao Lingzhao tidied his clothes and glanced sideways at Shen Yuanwei, who was also dressed neatly. He took a deep breath to suppress the remaining hot blood and stretched out his fingers to tidy up Shen Yuanwei's hair.
"Dad and I will go accompany Eunuch Chen, you go find mom and have dinner."
Shen Yuanwei nodded.
What she hated most was accompanying guests, because she had to make awkward conversations, flatter, and put on fake smiles. How could it be more comfortable than hiding back and eating freely?
…
Shen Yuanwei walked briskly into the dining room.
The old lady was asking the maids to set the table. When she saw Shen Yuanwei come in, still wearing the same clothes as before, she blinked slightly.
Didn’t you change your clothes?
So why did you stay in the room for so long?
The old lady glanced at Shen Yuanwei's exceptionally red lips. As someone who had experienced this, she instantly understood what she meant.
She didn't want to embarrass her daughter-in-law, so she waved at Shen Yuanwei as if nothing had happened.
"Daughter-in-law, come and eat. Just let the father and son stay in front to entertain the guests. Eat your food quickly. Don't starve yourself."
Shen Yuanwei walked up to the old lady and helped her sit down.
"Mom, let's eat together. If you don't eat, I won't feel comfortable."
The old lady had already eaten, but how could she not respond when her daughter-in-law begged her to stay with her?
She picked up the bowl with a smile and ate with her daughter-in-law.
She had something on her mind, but her daughter-in-law was still hungry, so she didn't rush to ask.
She waited until her daughter-in-law had eaten half a bowl of rice to fill her stomach before she let the maid leave and asked in a low voice.
"Daughter-in-law, I went to the kitchen this afternoon and heard from the cook that Ling Zhao seemed to have asked her to make a bowl of contraceptive soup this morning..."
Shen Yuanwei's fingers paused slightly.
She looked up at the old lady, "Mother..."
The old lady said gently, "Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. I just want to tell you that contraceptive soup is harmful to your body. You can't drink it all the time. Just drink it today, and don't drink it again in the future."
She moved closer to Shen Yuanwei and lowered her voice and said, "If you don't want to get pregnant, there are ways to do it. I'll ask Nanny to send you something and she'll teach you how to use it..."
She winked at Shen Yuanwei and said, "Using this won't hurt your body, it's just a little troublesome."
Shen Yuanwei opened her eyes wide and looked at her mother-in-law in surprise.
Wow.
Is her mother-in-law too open-minded?
Are you going to give her an ancient version of a contraceptive device?
She hasn't seen it yet, so this is a good opportunity for her to see it.
Shen Yuanwei put down her chopsticks and said to the old lady obediently, "Mom, I discussed it with Ling Zhao in the palace today, and we have changed our minds. We will not drink contraceptive soup anymore. We will let nature take its course. If we can't get pregnant, we won't force it. If we get pregnant soon, we will give birth to the baby happily."
The old lady was slightly stunned, then she reacted and was extremely happy. She quickly asked, "Really? Have you really changed your mind?"
Shen Yuanwei didn't want to miss the opportunity to make her mother-in-law happy. She hugged her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Of course it's true. My parents-in-law are so good to me, so of course I have to be good to you two. I don't want to disappoint you. If you want to have a grandchild sooner, then we can have one. Other elderly people have grandchildren, and my parents-in-law will have them too!"
The old lady's fingers trembled with surprise.
Oh my, her son and daughter-in-law changed their minds, which means her grandchildren will be here soon!
This is really great news!
Her face was full of wrinkles as she smiled. She looked at her daughter-in-law lovingly and said nice things, "Oh, what good deeds must I have done in my previous life to have such a good daughter-in-law! If Ling Zhao can marry you home, it will be worth it even if I die in two years!"
Shen Yuanwei smiled and said, "You won't die. You and Dad will live a long life and watch your grandchildren grow up."
The old lady laughed happily, "Okay, okay, I will definitely live a long life and watch my grandson grow up!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate and chatted at the same time, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
In the front hall, Xiao Lingzhao was not so comfortable.
He was hungry, and had to have an awkward chat with Eunuch Chen Hai, which really made him feel very embarrassed.
Eunuch Chen Hai finally stood up and prepared to leave. At this moment, someone suddenly came running in from outside.
Xiao Lingzhao looked up and was shocked to find that it was the Dragon Scale Guards who came.
His heart sank.
The Dragon Scale Guards came in such a hurry, did something happen in the palace?
Under his gaze, the Dragon Scale Guards came quickly into the hall holding their badges and said to Eunuch Chen, "The Emperor is in trouble. Please return to the palace immediately! Please ask General Xiao to arrest the Song family as soon as possible!"
Chen Hai knew nothing about the emperor's arrangement. He was so frightened that his soul almost fell out of his body. He trembled and held on to the table and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Lingzhao and the old general were also shocked and took a step forward, staring at the Dragon Scale Guards.
The Dragon Scale Guard said in a deep voice, "The Emperor took the pills Song Suihuan offered him in the Empress's bedroom, and he vomited blood and fainted! Imperial Doctor Ge said that the blood the Emperor vomited contained arsenic, which is highly poisonous. It should be Song Suihuan who tampered with the pills and wanted to kill the Emperor!"
