Later, the news brought back by the secret guard surprised him greatly. It turned out that the girl was the daughter of the Prime Minister who had severed his relationship with him. He could never have imagined that his son, who had no feelings for women, not only had a woman, but also made her pregnant. He was really speechless.
Compared with his other sons, he was most looking forward to the birth of his third son, because he and the queen had been married for many years without having children. This was not only a concern for the queen, but also made him feel no regret.
Therefore, after his third son was born, he was all in his eyes and heart. Later, he found that his favor was fatal to his third son, so even though he and the queen were reluctant, he still cruelly sent his third son to the north.
The third son certainly did not disappoint him, he started as a soldier and entered the battlefield to fight, made great military achievements, and finally became the commander of the northern army.
Originally, he wanted to make his third son the crown prince when he turned 18, but due to various reasons, this idea was never implemented.
You have to know that even though he was the emperor, there were many things he couldn't do as he wished, like making his third son the crown prince, more than half of the ministers in the court opposed it.
Why would these people oppose him? His mind was like a mirror, and some of these opponents were close to the eldest prince, while others were close to the youngest prince.
But even if he didn't love the eldest prince and the youngest prince very much, they were still his biological sons. He couldn't kill them himself and get rid of them.
After all, even though he was an emperor and held the power of life and death over the people of the world, he still wanted to have many children and grandchildren and enjoy family happiness like ordinary people.
Although he knew that this wish was too naive and impossible to achieve, he still had to have dreams. What if it came true?
Therefore, even though he knew that the eldest and second princes had been targeting his third son and had sent people to assassinate him from time to time, he did not stop them and just regarded it as a normal fight between his three sons.
After all, in every dynasty, the fight for the throne has always been accompanied by blood and gore, and whoever comes to the throne has stepped on countless bones and has his hands stained with blood.
Even if he didn't want his third son to be caught up in the vortex of the fight for the throne, and even if he wanted his third son to be successfully promoted to the crown prince, he couldn't be so obviously partial.
Besides, his third son was framed at the celebration banquet last year, and his health left him unable to have children, which dealt him a heavy blow.
Since ancient times, no emperor could be without offspring. He once thought that his third son would never have the chance to be emperor, and he was even considering choosing one between the eldest prince and the youngest prince.
What he didn't expect was that his third son just went to Banyue Villa in Wuning County to recuperate, but asked someone to find a girl for him.
This surprised him very much. After the secret guards investigated, he found out that the girl that his third son had fallen in love with had met and had physical contact with her in the capital.
At that time, he was relieved that his third son, who had never been interested in women, finally had a girl he liked. He no longer had to worry about his son living alone in his old age.
He was right to think so, but the third son really impressed him. He had quietly gotten the girl pregnant, and without any official status, he still made her willingly give birth to a child for him. This made him very proud for a while, and his son was too charming.
However, he also knew that with Mengyue's ability, if she really wanted to abort the child, no matter how much the third brother tried to stop her, it would be useless.
He knew that if Mengyue had not appeared on the night of the celebration banquet, the third brother would have died long ago and would never have had the chance to meet Mengyue again.
