Chapter 159 The General Breaks into the Palace to Take Concubine Zhao Home
His grandson...
Their Xiao family's bloodline...
When Song Suihuan forced him to commit suicide, his biggest regret was that he would not be able to see the birth of his grandson before he died. Who would have thought that his good daughter-in-law suddenly appeared out of nowhere and not only saved him and Ling Zhao, but also gave birth to a grandson for their Xiao family.
Now, this beautiful and lovely grandson is sleeping peacefully in his arms.
He looked up at Shen Yuanwei lying on the bed, his eyes full of gratitude.
He and his wife both liked this daughter-in-law. Even if the emperor abducted this poor girl by force, as long as she was willing to go home, the door of the Xiao family would always be open to her, and neither of them, the old couple, would dislike her in the slightest.
Shen Yuanwei saw all of General Xiao's excitement.
She knew that the old man must want to have a grandson, but he was not qualified and had no position to do so.
Take this opportunity to hug me more.
After the wet nurse went out and closed the door, Shen Yuanwei looked at the old Prime Minister Wei.
"Old sir, I have already made an agreement with the Queen to help me raise my children. After I leave the palace today, the two little princes in your and the old general's arms will be the Queen's children. They are also your grandchildren—"
The old Prime Minister Wei's eyelashes trembled.
It was obvious that the child in the cradle was not his daughter's, but he couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that this child would accompany his daughter through the long boring and lonely years in the future and would bring her a lot of happiness.
He leaned over to look at the child in General Xiao's arms.
It looks really good.
From then on, these were his daughter's two adopted sons.
He is also his grandson.
When these two children grow up, one of them will become an emperor and marry the granddaughter of their Wei family. Their Wei family will also have a queen and give birth to the next heir...
Old Prime Minister Wei couldn't let go of the little prince. He looked up at Shen Yuanwei's trusting eyes and immediately knelt down.
"I, your humble servant, would like to thank Concubine Zhao for her help on behalf of the Empress."
"Since Concubine Zhao trusts the Empress so much, the Empress will definitely treat the little prince as her own son, and our Wei family will also do our best to protect the little prince——"
"Thank you, Empress Zhao."
Shen Yuanwei smiled.
"Please stand up, old man."
She looked at Xie Junlin again.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Please have someone escort the old general and I out of the palace. After I leave, you should take the children to visit the Empress Dowager."
Xie Junlin stared at her without blinking, his eyes heavy.
I have clearly decided to let go, but when the time comes, I can't say the words.
He really wanted to agree immediately, but he just couldn't say it.
The old Prime Minister Wei glanced at the emperor.
He has to help Concubine Zhao.
After all, if the emperor did not let Concubine Zhao leave the palace, Concubine Zhao would have to stay in the palace and raise the child herself. How could his daughter raise the child?
The old prime minister knelt down again to give advice.
"Your Majesty, it's time to let go."
"A few months ago, you and General Xiao had an open confrontation in the court. You said that as long as General Xiao captured Taihu Water Fort, he could enter the palace to take Concubine Zhao away, and you would also grant Taihu Water Fort to Concubine Zhao as a fiefdom—"
"Now that he has captured the water fort, he will be returning to the capital soon."
"Moreover, he has the imperial edict you wrote in person. It says that as long as Concubine Zhao gives birth to a prince for you, he can take his wife away with the imperial edict. You also promised to fulfill their wish in front of all the civil and military officials. Now Concubine Zhao has given birth to two little princes for you. Her mission has been completed. She wants to leave, and you should let her go."
After a pause, the old prime minister continued:
"Concubine Zhao had such a scene with the Empress Dowager today, the Empress Dowager will definitely not let her go. If she stays in the palace, she will die..."
"The two little princes can live apart from their biological mother, but they cannot be separated from her by life and death."
"Even though we are separated by thousands of miles, we still have the opportunity to meet each other every year. But once we are separated by life and death, there is no future to look forward to."
The old Prime Minister Wei kowtowed in greeting.
"Your Majesty, I dare you to let me go."
"For the sake of Concubine Zhao, the Empress Dowager, and the two little princes, you must let go this time."
General Xiao also knelt down with difficulty, limping on one leg.
He said.
"Your Majesty, please let Concubine Zhao leave the palace."
"At the beginning, you said that your kingdom cannot be left without a successor, and you asked Concubine Zhao to give birth to a child for you. Although the Xiao family felt wronged, we had no choice but to obey your will."
"Now that the little prince has been born, it is time for my daughter-in-law to return to the Xiao family and show her filial piety to me."
"Your Majesty, please look, my wife and I are already very old, and we may die at any time. I, an old man, still hope to have a son and a daughter-in-law to wear mourning clothes, Your Majesty..."
"Please, Your Majesty, your servant Xiao Zhen begs you."
Xie Junlin looked at Shen Yuanwei who was determined to leave, and then looked at the old prime minister and general who were kneeling beside the bed and begging him to let go.
His eyes were slightly red.
Look, everyone has more reasons than him, so he really has no reason not to give in.
In order to prevent his mother from dying at the hands of Shen Yuanwei, in order to prevent Shen Yuanwei from dying at the hands of his mother, and in order for his two young sons not to lose their biological mother, he should let go.
He suppressed the sadness in his heart, stretched out his fingers, and finally stroked Shen Yuanwei's cheek.
He said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I'll let you go..."
He wiped the sweat from Shen Yuanwei's forehead with his fingers and said, "But you just had your stomach cut open today. How can you withstand the bumps and bruises now? Why don't you stay in the palace for a few days and wait for Xiao Lingzhao to come back and take you away?"
Shen Yuanwei shook her head.
She would not stay in the palace for another quarter of an hour.
There was an old woman here who gave her an abortion drug and wanted to kill her.
There is also an emperor who may regret at any time...
The emperor had no choice but to agree to let her leave due to the situation. After a few days, her wounds had healed and she was no longer miserable. The emperor was so moved by his two sons that he ignored her refusal and insisted on keeping her in the palace to have two more children. What should he do?
She said, "I'm leaving now."
Xie Junlin stared at her distressedly, "You don't trust me? You can't leave with this body, what if the wound bursts?"
Shen Yuanwei said, "Dr. Song told me that as long as I use the spring stool to lift my wound, it won't burst."
Xie Junlin frowned, "Use a spring stool to carry you? No, you are the biological mother of the little prince. With your noble status, how can you be carried out of the palace on a spring stool? In my opinion, you should stay here for two days and leave the palace when your wound is better..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Hai's panicked voice came from outside the door -
"Your Majesty! General Xiao is back!"
"He took the imperial edict you gave him and forced his way into the palace. The guards saw that no one dared to stop him. The general is now waiting outside the Taiji Palace for a summons!"
