Chapter 85 You just rely on me to love you! Otherwise you would have died long ago
He gritted his teeth in anger, "Shen Yuanwei! You just rely on my love for you, otherwise you would have already..."
Shen Yuanwei glanced at the door that was knocked open and looked down at Xie Junlin.
She whispered quickly as well.
"Is it me that the Emperor favors? Isn't it my ability as a reproductive tool that the Emperor favors?"
"Your Majesty, you know that I am the only one in the world who can give birth to your child, so you can't kill me, and you can't leave me. Since I have such a support, I will naturally live freely and wantonly. I have such a unique asset. If I still live cautiously like a concubine and tread on thin ice, and I get breast cancer, then don't I deserve to be abused?"
"Besides, those concubines in the palace dare not offend you because they are afraid that you will kill their entire family if they anger you. I am an orphan with only one life left. What do I have to be afraid of?"
"So, Your Majesty, you have to think it over carefully. You want me to divorce Xiao Lingzhao, and you want me to enter the palace and be your woman. From now on, I will be your concubine Ye Lanyi. You have to be prepared to be irritated by me every day."
"Before, I would still hesitate to compromise because of the Xiao family. After the divorce, the Xiao family will no longer be my weakness. I will do whatever I want and stir up trouble for you. I will make you so angry that you want to kill someone, but you have to consider the child in my belly and let me go again and again..."
"So, Your Majesty, do you really want me to enter the palace? Are you going to make yourself suffer?"
"Are you really ready for this chaotic day?"
“…”
Xie Junlin stared at Shen Yuanwei and raised his hand to press his eyebrows tightly.
He has already seen what kind of chaos this girl will cause if she enters the palace.
But what can he do?
Is it more cost-effective for him to endure the anger of this girl for a year in exchange for a biological son, or is it more cost-effective for him to endure the anger of court officials and royal family members and be forced to adopt someone else's child? Even a fool knows that it is better to endure the anger of his wife and children than to endure the anger of outsiders.
Fortunately, it’s only a year and it will pass if you just bear with it.
Xie Junlin glanced at Queen Mother Jiang, the Queen, and the concubines who had staggered into the room, and whispered to Shen Yuanwei.
"If you didn't have this ability, and you were so rude and impolite, I'm afraid..."
Shen Yuanwei watched Queen Mother Jiang throw herself to the bedside, and she quietly stepped back, giving her seat to Queen Mother Jiang.
The Empress Dowager cried with joy as she held Xie Junlin, who had just woken up. The concubines in the palace also cried with joy.
Shen Yuanwei stood aside, curling her lips in a mocking tone.
She knew that the emperor wanted to say that if she didn't have the powerful golden finger given by God, she would have been executed eight hundred times by the emperor for being so presumptuous and rude.
But isn't this nonsense?
The reason why she dared to be so arrogant was because she already had such a golden finger. If she didn't have the golden finger, she would have been tactful and obedient to be a palace maid who accepted beatings and scoldings.
Saying this is like someone pointing at a rich girl and saying, if you didn't have a rich father, you would have starved to death if you were so extravagant, but isn't it because she already has a rich father? If she didn't have money, wouldn't she know how to save money?
Next to the bed.
Queen Mother Jiang wiped the blood from the corner of Xie Junlin's mouth with shaking hands and cried, "My son, you finally woke up! You scared me to death, you really scared me to death!"
Xie Junlin looked at his mother, his heart full of guilt.
He is very unfilial.
In order to get involved in the plot against Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei, he actually harmed his own body and kept his eyes closed pretending to be unconscious, causing his fifty-year-old mother to cry so bitterly and anxiously for him...
He held his mother's wrist tightly, to comfort her, but also to deliberately guide her with words.
"Mother, don't be afraid. My son will not die. Even if he dies, he will leave you a grandchild before he dies. If no one takes care of you and Ayou for me, how can I close my eyes in peace?"
Hearing her son's words, Queen Mother Jiang subconsciously glanced at Shen Yuanwei.
Yes, my son is in critical condition now, and I have to leave behind a grandchild...
Queen Mother Jiang's eyes flickered.
The emperor couldn't bear to do anything to the Xiao family and Shen Yuanwei, so she would do it. She would be the villain. She would give Shen Yuanwei some medicine and send it to her son's bed...
I just don't know if my son can still do it in his current condition...
Queen Mother Jiang looked at the imperial physician and said, "Imperial Physician Ge, come and take the emperor's pulse."
Doctor Ge immediately stepped forward, knelt beside the bed and placed his hand on Xie Junlin's pulse.
After carefully diagnosing the patient for a moment, Doctor Ge slowly withdrew his hand.
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor..."
After looking at Queen Mother Jiang, Doctor Ge closed his mouth and did not dare to finish what he was going to say.
Queen Mother Jiang's heart sank. "What happened to the emperor? Tell me the truth. Don't hide a single word."
Doctor Ge kowtowed and said tremblingly, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, although the Emperor has now regained consciousness, his body has been overly damaged by the arsenic. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for much longer."
As soon as Doctor Ge finished speaking, the concubines fell to their knees in fear. They were the emperor's women, and if the emperor died, their world would fall!
Although Queen Mother Jiang had anticipated such an outcome, she still could not face the bad news.
She clenched her son's hand tightly in pain and despair, sobbing.
"Is there really no way to make him better?"
Doctor Ge's voice was barely audible.
"As for medicine, there is no other way. As for metaphysics, perhaps we can try our best."
Queen Mother Jiang was slightly stunned.
She was like a drowning person who saw a floating log. She wiped away her tears and asked Doctor Ge, "How do we try?"
Doctor Ge looked up at Xie Junlin, and according to Xie Junlin's previous instructions, he sighed and said, "Empress Dowager, there has always been a saying among the people that "rushing happiness" is a good omen... If we can find a girl with a noble fate for the emperor to take as his concubine, it will help to wash away the emperor's illness and suppress his fate. Perhaps the emperor will get better."
Queen Mother Jiang was stunned.
Marry a wife to bring good luck?
Queen Mother Jiang was stunned for a few moments, then suddenly turned to look at Shen Yuanwei!
If they wanted to bring good luck, wouldn't this girl be a heaven-sent choice? She could bring good luck to the emperor and leave him with offspring!
It’s her!
“…”
Shen Yuanwei's eyelids twitched when she heard Doctor Ge say the word "good luck". Now, meeting the empress dowager's direct gaze, she was even more numb. This good luck was for her.
Queen Mother Jiang stood up and walked towards Shen Yuanwei step by step.
"Just now, Ai Jia, the Queen, and the concubines tried every way to wake the emperor up, but failed. However, when you came, Miss Shen, the emperor woke up immediately--"
Shen Yuanwei retreated step by step.
Madam Xiao didn't even call her that, she just called her Miss Shen.
She said, "Your Majesty, I am already married. I am Xiao Lingzhao's wife."
Queen Mother Jiang hummed, and then said, "Xiao Lingzhao had been ill for a year and couldn't be cured, but you married him yesterday to cheer him up, and he got better immediately. Doesn't this prove that you are a lady with a noble destiny who will bring good luck to her husband? You see, you can cure Xiao Lingzhao's illness, and you can definitely dispel the emperor's illness. I believe that you can definitely make the emperor better--"
Queen Mother Jiang did not give Shen Yuanwei a chance to speak, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Shen, you don't have to say anything. I have already decided on this matter, and you cannot refuse. You will stay in this room tonight to celebrate the emperor's happiness."
As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, the concubines who were kneeling on the ground crying because the emperor was about to die were all shocked.
They all looked up at Shen Yuanwei, shock written in every pair of tearful eyes.
No way?
Is the Queen Mother so ridiculous?
There are plenty of bridesmaids with good fortunes among the common people, so why would they have to snatch the Xiao family's daughter-in-law to bring good luck to the emperor?
Besides, would an emperor want a married woman to be his concubine?
The sisters here all followed the emperor with clean bodies, and the emperor has no interest in looking for them in the past two years. And the one over there is an unclean married woman, so the emperor must dislike her even more, right?
The concubines all looked at Xie Junlin.
The Emperor will certainly reject the Empress Dowager's absurd suggestion.
What else can he do with his broken body full of poison? Why should he get married? In this situation, if he still favors a woman, he will only die faster, right?
Besides, how could the emperor allow a married woman to be a concubine with them and be on an equal footing with them?
