Chapter 54 She was in a hurry! She scared the emperor to death
There must be some way to curb Xiao Lingzhao's illness.
Otherwise, how are the three of them going to live in the future?
Xie Junlin was just thinking about the chaotic days ahead when Xiao Lingzhao leaned close to his ear and said very embarrassedly:
"Your Majesty, I actually have a guess in my mind, but it still needs to be verified."
"I am wondering if the strange power in my body can be passed on to my child?"
"If the child can inherit my power, then as long as Yuan Wei gives birth to my child, I can get out of this predicament. I used to be able to suppress the power in my body, but it grew stronger and stronger, and it became stronger than I could control. Then I was attacked by it. So, as long as the child takes away even 10% of my power, I can control myself from being hurt by it."
“…”
Xie Junlin suddenly stared at Xiao Lingzhao.
Another child?
If having a child is necessary for Xiao Lingzhao to become a normal person again, then the child in Shen Yuanwei's belly must be born, right?
Xie Junlin stared at Xiao Lingzhao, "The power in your body belongs to you. How will your child inherit it?"
Xiao Lingzhao scratched his cheek and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. It was just a sudden thought."
He looked at Xie Junlin, trying to find recognition.
"Your Majesty, the power in my body is different from the internal power of a martial artist. Internal power is acquired by martial artists, so it cannot be passed down from father to son. But the power in my body has been there since I was born. This innate thing may be passed on to my child, right?"
"Even if I can't pass this power to the child directly through the blood, after the child is born, can I transfer this power to the child's body by passing on my skills?"
"I have tried to pass this power to my subordinates before, but unfortunately I cannot pass it on. But when I think about it carefully, they have nothing to do with me, so it is normal for this power not to recognize them. The children are my own flesh and blood, and they flow with my blood. Maybe my children can absorb my power?"
"Even if a child can only help me share a little bit of the burden, it will be good. If I have more children, I can disperse this growing power, and I will be able to control it freely again."
Having said that, Xiao Lingzhao changed the subject.
"But guesses are just guesses after all, and I am not too sure."
"Because the power in my body is strange, no one in the Xiao family has ever possessed this power, not even my grandfather, father, brothers, and sisters. Only I have it since I was born, so I have no examples to refer to, and can only figure it out on my own."
He smiled at Xie Junlin with curved lips.
"Fortunately, I am married now. Yuan Wei and I will have children sooner or later. When we have children, I will be able to find out whether the child can inherit the strange power in my body."
Xie Junlin listened quietly to Xiao Lingzhao chattering to him.
He looked at Xiao Lingzhao's palm, thoughtfully.
If Xiao Lingzhao's child could really inherit Xiao Lingzhao's power, then he should perhaps let Shen Yuanwei give birth to the child in her belly.
Only he knew how much confidence and courage a loyal, brave and invincible general could bring to the emperor.
In these years, he has had Xiao Lingzhao, the god of war. Wherever he points, Xiao Lingzhao will lead his troops to fight, winning every battle and being unstoppable. With this brave general who shares the same mind and purpose with him, he speaks more powerfully in the court than his father did in the past.
And the child in Shen Yuanwei's belly will be the biological brother of his future child.
His half brother, a general, and his half brother, an emperor, would be closer to him than he and Xiao Lingzhao are now.
He now feels at ease with Xiao Lingzhao, the God of War, to rely on. If his child can have a new God of War swear allegiance to him in the future, then his child's throne will surely be more secure...
Xie Junlin murmured.
"I just don't know if your child can possess your power. Can he be as brave and invincible as you..."
Xiao Lingzhao smiled.
"I naturally hope that they can possess my power. In this way, the Xiao family will be able to produce talents from generation to generation and always be loyal to the royal family!"
Looking at the loyal Xiao Lingzhao, Xie Junlin was silent for a moment and couldn't help but chuckle.
Look.
This is the general he relies on, so pure and so loyal.
So, how could he have the heart to use such despicable means to hurt this person? How could he have the heart to cruelly kill this person's child?
When Xiao Lingzhao saw that Xie Junlin was about to go to Long'an to handle government affairs, he immediately made a request.
"Your Majesty, if possible, can you please summon Yuan Wei now? If we have enough intimacy during the day, I can last three or four hours at night. In this way, I can guard your bedside at night without disturbing you at all."
Xie Junlin paused.
Alas, Xiao Lingzhao really cared about him and served him wholeheartedly.
Xie Junlin called the eunuch waiting outside the door to come in, "Go and tell Madam Xiao to come here to treat General Xiao, and then have someone go to the imperial kitchen to get some food and send it here."
The young eunuch took the order and left.
Xie Junlin looked at Xiao Lingzhao and said, "I have already had lunch. You two can just make do with what you want and have dinner with me later."
Xiao Lingzhao was flattered, yet a little hesitant.
It is the emperor's favor that he dine with the emperor, but it is inappropriate to let his wife dine with the emperor, right?
Men and women have to sit at separate tables at a banquet. If the young couple sits with the emperor to dine, wouldn't it be like a family of three?
The Emperor is not their father, even though he is old enough to be their father...
As he spoke, Chen Hai led a group of guards carrying a small couch into the hall.
Xie Junlin went to take care of his government affairs, and Xiao Lingzhao turned around to set up the small couch.
They had just put the small couch in place when Shen Yuanwei arrived.
Shen Yuanwei followed the young eunuch into the hall and looked up at Xie Junlin who was reviewing memorials at his desk.
Xie Junlin happened to look up, and their eyes met.
As soon as their eyes met, Shen Yuanwei lowered her eyes and looked away, preparing to kneel down to salute.
Xie Junlin laughed.
Now this girl hates him so much that she doesn't want to make eye contact with him?
Well, when she finds out that he wants to keep Ling Zhao in his bedroom forever, this girl will probably be furious and curse him to die suddenly in her heart, right?
Xie Junlin shook his head and said with a smile, "Madam Xiao, please don't be polite. Go over there and treat Ling Zhao."
Shen Yuanwei didn't want to kneel down, and immediately stood up when she heard that there was no need to kneel.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am leaving now."
She lowered her head and immediately walked towards the antique display cabinet after she finished speaking, fearing that if she stayed in front of the emperor for one more second, he would think that she was interested in him and wanted to sleep with him.
After turning the corner and coming behind the antique display cabinet, Shen Yuanwei saw Xiao Lingzhao standing tall beside the small couch and couldn't wait to rush over.
"Ling Zhao——"
Xiao Lingzhao was somewhat surprised by his wife's enthusiasm. He opened his arms with a smile and hugged her tightly.
He hugged Shen Yuanwei's waist, lowered his head and smiled, "I've only been apart from you for a short while, and you've missed me so much, huh?"
Shen Yuanwei leaned against Xiao Lingzhao's chest.
It’s not that she loves Xiao Lingzhao so much, but she is forced into a sense of urgency by the emperor.
Originally according to her plan, she could be husband and wife with Xiao Lingzhao and Meimei for seven or eight years before considering the emperor. Now the emperor knows her good physique for getting pregnant and insists that she have a baby now, which means that she may leave Xiao Lingzhao at any time. This sense of urgency of separation makes her reluctant to leave Xiao Lingzhao.
When she thought about this young, clean, pure and handsome partner being replaced by a middle-aged man who was old enough to be her father but was not clean, she really couldn't bear it!
"Come, sit down."
Shen Yuanwei was helped by Xiao Lingzhao to sit down, with her buttocks touching the cushion. She was surprised to find that there was suddenly a small couch here.
She looked up at Xiao Lingzhao in confusion, "What's going on with the small couch?"
Xiao Lingzhao whispered, "The emperor had someone arrange for this. He said I need you to come and treat me from time to time, but there are assassins lurking around him. I can't leave my post and run to the empress dowager to find you, so he arranged a small couch for us. When I get sick in the future, he will summon you. You stay here and hold my hand to treat me."
Shen Yuanwei was shocked.
How ridiculous!
So insidious!
No wonder the emperor said that she could no longer sleep with Xiao Lingzhao for the next month.
The emperor left Xiao Lingzhao here. Every time she came to see Lingzhao, it was under the emperor's nose. How could she sleep with Xiao Lingzhao?
Shen Yuanwei gritted her teeth secretly.
Oh, not only did he not allow her to have a baby, but he also said that if the imperial physician could not diagnose her pregnancy in a month, she would have to sleep with him...
You're forcing her like this, right? You're scaring her like this, right? Then she'll scare that dog emperor as well.
Shen Yuanwei curled the corners of her mouth.
She looked up at Xiao Lingzhao, her voice loud enough for Xie Junlin to hear -
"Ling Zhao, do you know what the emperor said to me when he came into my room after he sent you away? You can't imagine it, and you dare not imagine it."
