Chapter 161 The child doesn't recognize me, I deserve it
Shen Yuanwei did not waver.
She was exceptionally calm.
"I know that the emperor wants to defeat me with such a terrible assumption, but I will not give up the freedom that is within my reach for the sake of a hypothetical future."
"What you are assuming, I don't think, will happen."
"The Queen and I will not be enemies. The Queen and Prime Minister Wei are loyal to the emperor and love their country. The same is true for our Xiao family. In major matters, we have no conflict of interest. In private matters, I, a general's wife, will not offend the Queen. How could she be my enemy?"
"Even for the sake of our common child, the Queen and I will try our best to resolve any conflicts we have. We will not let the child reach a situation where he has to kill a mother. I believe in the Queen's character. She will not deliberately teach my child bad things. Otherwise, I will not entrust my child to her."
After a pause, she looked at the two children.
She sighed.
"As for the fact that they will become strangers to me in the future, I don't mind. I don't want to sacrifice my freedom and love for them. It's normal for them not to love me. As long as I don't force them to love me, I won't be sad and unhappy."
Xie Junlin looked at her in silence.
After a long while, Xie Junlin sneered, "Shen Yuanwei, you are so ruthless."
Shen Yuanwei admitted, "Yes, I can't sacrifice for others, even if they are my children. In my heart, I am the most important. If I give birth to them, I will be bound by them for the rest of my life, and I will never be happy and lose my freedom. Then why should I give birth to them?"
Xie Junlin had never seen anyone who openly displayed selfishness like Shen Yuanwei.
Even if others are selfish, they still have to pretend to be righteous, but she doesn't even bother to pretend.
He gritted his teeth and turned his back to Shen Yuanwei.
"You guys go now. Since I begged you again and again and you refused to stay, and since your two own flesh and blood can't move you, what else can I say?"
He said, "You have left the palace today, and I and the children will not be able to control you. I only hope that even if you are not with the children, you will consider the two children more when you act. You must remember that you are the biological mother of the two princes. Don't make mistakes and don't do anything that will implicate the children."
Shen Yuanwei nodded in agreement.
"Okay, even if I am a heretic, I will not do anything to humiliate my children and bring shame to them."
She changed the subject and said, "If there are any rumors outside in the future, it must be someone framing me. Your Majesty, please don't believe it."
“…”
Xie Junlin was originally sulking, but when he heard her shameless words, he was so angry that he laughed.
She felt that she had a noble character and would never do anything bad. If anyone said that she did something bad, it must be that they were framing her. Ha, how could she be so shameless?
Xie Junlin was tired, so he waved his hand.
"Let's go. If you don't leave, I will change my mind."
Seeing Xie Junlin give in, Xiao Lingzhao finally felt relieved.
He immediately knelt down to give thanks.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
He stood up and walked to the bed, holding Shen Yuanwei's fingers tightly.
"How can you feel more comfortable leaving the palace in your current state?"
Shen Yuanwei shook his fingers back and smiled brightly at him.
"Dr. Song said that they could use a spring stool to carry me out so that the wound wouldn't burst."
When General Xiao heard this, he immediately handed the child to Xiao Lingzhao.
"You stay here, Dad will go out and find you a spring stool."
Xiao Lingzhao was so flustered holding the small swaddling clothes that his back became stiff.
He had never held a child.
How should I hold such a soft child?
He held the swaddling baby in his stiff arms and looked down at the beautiful and lovely child.
After just a few glances, Xie Junlin reached out and took the child in his arms.
"The general is exhausted and has not yet bathed. The child is delicate and weak. Let me hold him."
Xiao Lingzhao watched helplessly as the baby, who was not even warm yet, was held in the emperor's arms.
He felt a sense of loss.
He also has one of these two children...
Maybe the child just now is his own flesh and blood.
Before he had the chance to test whether the child could absorb his power, he was snatched away...
When the emperor looked over, he hid his disappointment.
He bowed.
"I haven't had the chance to congratulate His Majesty yet. Congratulations to His Majesty on the birth of his son. Congratulations to His Majesty on having a successor."
Xie Junlin looked down at his handsome son. His son's warmth barely made up for the shortcoming in his heart.
It doesn't matter.
Xiao Lingzhao has a wife and he has a son.
He has two sons, and his future life will be full of joy.
Seeing that Xie Junlin ignored him, Xiao Lingzhao just stood aside and said nothing.
He wants to take away the emperor's concubine Zhao and the little prince's biological mother. How could the emperor like him now?
Soon, the old general found the spring stool.
Xiao Lingzhao spread Shen Yuanwei's quilt on the spring stool, making it soft and comfortable, and secured it with a rope. Then he bent down, carefully picked up Shen Yuanwei and placed her on the spring stool as if she were some precious porcelain.
He secretly glanced at Xie Junlin, then took two clean quilts stacked on the bed, shook them out, and carefully covered Shen Yuanwei with them.
"The wound should not be exposed to the wind. It is windy at night, so cover it with a thicker cover."
Shen Yuanwei nodded.
After the quilt was covered, Xiao Lingzhao walked around the spring stool, making sure that Shen Yuanwei was wrapped tightly and there was no air leaking through, then he looked at Xie Junlin.
"Your Majesty, then, I will take Yuan Wei away..."
Xie Junlin was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at Shen Yuanwei on the spring stool.
He felt that this woman was just asking for trouble!
You could have a high bed with a soft pillow and lie down comfortably to recuperate, but you insisted on leaving.
In her current state, she couldn't ride in a sedan chair or a carriage, but she would rather be carried out in such a shabby way than not leave.
Xie Junlin hated her ruthlessness, but also felt sorry for the suffering she had suffered.
I felt that she deserved it, but I also felt a little bit sorry for it.
With such mixed feelings, he asked Xiao Lingzhao, "Leaving now? Who are you going to carry her with? The old general has a lame leg and walks with a limp. Wouldn't it be more bumpy to carry someone than in a carriage?"
Xiao Lingzhao said, "There are a few uncles in the main hall who I am close to. I can ask them for help."
Xie Junlin snorted coldly, "Ask five Dragon Scale Guards to help you. Take turns carrying her. It's such a long journey. Don't let anyone let go and drop her to the ground."
Xiao Lingzhao bowed his hands in thanks, "Your Majesty, I and Yuan Wei thank you for your mercy."
Xie Junlin said nothing. He glanced at the shabby Shen Yuanwei and went out with the baby in his arms.
Soon, the Dragon Scale Guard came in and lifted the spring stool steadily with Xiao Lingzhao.
Both of them were martial arts masters, their lower bodies and arms were steady, and neither of them swayed when they walked. Shen Yuanwei, who was sitting on the spring stool, did not feel any bumps at all, and felt extremely stable.
When passing by the main hall, a young eunuch brought a small scale inlaid with jade and was about to weigh and rank the two little princes.
Shen Yuanwei couldn't help but glance sideways.
Xie Junlin glanced at her and knew what she wanted to see, so he quickened his hands' movements so that her mother could see clearly who was her eldest and who was her youngest before she left.
