Chapter 188 Are you going to secretly take her son away?
He looked at Chen Hai in astonishment.
"Is she crazy? She has a good life but wants to go to the border to suffer. What on earth is she thinking?"
Chen Hai bent his waist and lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
How dare he say anything?
It is said that Madam Xiao and the general are deeply in love and the husband and wife are in harmony with each other, so wouldn't the emperor have demoted him?
No one responded, and Xie Junlin became more and more angry.
He raised his hand and threw the document on the table to the ground!
At the banquet last night, he was still confident that Shen Yuanwei would never go to the border with Xiao Lingzhao. Who would have thought that within less than a day, he heard the news that Shen Yuanwei was going with Xiao Lingzhao without hesitation!
hateful!
He was so pissed off!
Does that woman love Xiao Lingzhao that much?
Are you willing to do anything for Xiao Lingzhao?
Are you willing to die?
Chen Hai squatted on the ground picking up the documents in silence, while Xie Junlin continued to vent his anger.
"I have never seen such a fool as her! Not only does she not want to be Concubine Zhao but she insists on being Madam Xiao. Now she wants to give up the capital and run to the border to fight in the wind and sand. Has Xiao Lingzhao eaten her brain?"
"Did she owe Xiao Lingzhao nine lives in her previous life? Otherwise, why would she sacrifice herself to this extent for Xiao Lingzhao?"
"I think she's crazy!"
"I really want to pry open her brain to see if there is tofu dregs inside!"
“…”
Chen Hai picked up the memorials but didn't dare put them on the table.
He was afraid that if he moved, he would be watched by the emperor and become his punching bag.
He lowered his head and thought, if Concubine Zhao is mentally ill, are you not? Didn't you also go against the public opinion and enthrone Concubine Zhao as the Queen?
Oh, forget it. As a eunuch, he doesn't want to care about these love matters. It's impossible for him to have love anyway.
Xie Junlin's anger continued until the next day.
Even if the queen came to him with the two little princes in her arms, he couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart.
On this day, the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the Taiji Hall were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would accidentally anger the emperor and end up being beheaded.
Finally, it was the next day and General Xiao broke camp and set off.
Xie Junlin led the civil and military officials to see him off at the city gate.
Seeing Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei standing side by side in front of him, Xie Junlin sneered at Shen Yuanwei with his hands behind his back, "Oh, Madam Xiao is going to travel thousands of miles to the border with her husband right after giving birth. Her love is so touching!"
Shen Yuanwei smiled, "Your Majesty, these two sentences are quite rhyming."
Xiao Lingzhao immediately lowered his head and tried to suppress his laughter.
Xie Junlin's face darkened.
Shen Yuanwei immediately stopped smiling.
She bowed and lowered her voice.
"Your Majesty, I know what you are going to say, but please don't say it. Your soldiers all traveled thousands of miles to that bitter cold place to protect your country. If you keep complaining that the place is not good and that I shouldn't go, how will you make the soldiers at the border feel?"
"Those heroes can endure hardships at the border, so naturally I can go too, don't you think?"
Xie Junlin's expression became increasingly ugly.
He hadn't said anything yet when the woman came to shut him up.
Oh.
Do you really think he wants this woman to stay so much?
If you want to leave, just leave. Who wants to stay?
Seeing that Xie Junlin didn't say anything, Shen Yuanwei bowed again.
"Your Majesty and Empress, please take good care of the two little princes. Your Majesty and I bid farewell to your majesty."
Xie Junlin sneered.
"Do you still remember that you have two little princes? Do you still regard them as your own children? It would be fine if you left the palace, and you could still visit them from time to time, but now you are actually abandoning them and going thousands of miles away. Do you plan to wait until they are three or five years old before coming back to visit them? Aren't you afraid that they will hate you as a heartless mother?"
Shen Yuanwei lowered her head and blinked.
She thought, what's wrong with her coming back when the child is three or five years old?
The child didn't have much memory before the age of three, so what did it matter if she wasn't there?
As long as she comes back to stay with her children when they start to remember things and treats them nicely, the children will still like her as a mother.
Isn’t that what modern hands-off fathers do?
When the children were young, they thought it was troublesome and left them all to the mother to take care of. When the children were old enough to remember, they bought toys and various things to coax the children. The children still loved their father very much...
She had planned everything out. When she returned from the border, she would bring a lot of gifts for the children.
She believed that the children would still like her.
She raised her head and sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, I will make up for my debt to the children in the future. Now that they have you as their biological father, they will not feel wronged or lonely. But my husband still has no children. How can I bear to let him die alone in this bitter cold place?"
Her voice was barely audible.
"Your Majesty, you have a child now. You have to ensure that the Xiao family has a successor, right? If you let Xiao Lingzhao and I live apart, it will take three to five years. What will happen to the Xiao family then?"
Xie Junlin was speechless again.
He stole someone else's wife and had two children with her, but the other person still has no children.
Even if he wanted to monopolize Shen Yuanwei, he didn't feel so justified when facing Xiao Lingzhao.
Xiao Lingzhao bowed with a humble attitude, but the words he spoke were not so humble.
"Your Majesty, you are here to see me off, not to steal my lover, right? I can't stand being pried away again..."
Xie Junlin's expression changed slightly.
He wanted to reprimand Xiao Lingzhao for being outrageous, but he couldn't be so shameless as to snatch someone else's wife and then scold him.
So the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
He didn't go to see Xiao Lingzhao. He finally asked Shen Yuanwei, "Do you really want to go to the border? Do you regret it?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded. "I will go. Unless Xiao Lingzhao lets me down, I will never regret it."
Xie Junlin stared at her for two seconds.
good.
Very good.
He wanted to see how long the love that this woman cherished so much could last.
He just didn't believe that a man as young as Xiao Lingzhao could remain faithful for his entire life.
He was about to ask Chen Hai to bring some wine, when he suddenly thought of his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He immediately asked Shen Yuanwei, "Wait, you are leaving, what about Ayou? What about Ayou?"
Shen Yuanwei looked back at the carriage.
Xie Junlin also followed her gaze.
The next moment, a slender hand reached out from the carriage and gently opened the curtain.
The fair and handsome young man sat there obediently and upright, his dark eyes looking at Xie Junlin and the civil and military officials behind him with some fear.
He mustered up his courage, smiled at his brother Xie Junlin, then quickly lowered the curtains to isolate all outsiders and retreated into his own safe world.
Xie Junlin pointed at the carriage in astonishment, "Are you going to take Ah You to the border?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "Yes, Ah You has been locked up in a square yard since he was a child and has never been out of the house. Maybe letting him go out for a walk and see different scenery will help his condition."
Xie Junlin took a deep breath, "You are so bold, Shen Yuanwei, are you going to drive our mother crazy? Ah You is her lifeblood, and you are going to take him away secretly without even telling her?"
