Chapter 172 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (39)
"Awu, don't worry. I won't hurt you at all. I will never do anything that might harm your body."
"This is a pregnancy-preserving medicine prepared by the imperial physician, specifically tailored to your constitution." Xia Lingxiao paused, as if compromising. "As long as it's your child, I will love him/her and not harm him/her."
Qing Wu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Xia Lingxiao to do this.
How could an emperor as high and mighty as Xia Lingxiao be willing to be a father to someone else's child?
Being looked at by such clear eyes that were filled with a hint of suspicion, and the soft body on his body emitting waves of fragrance, Xia Lingxiao couldn't help but feel his Adam's apple rolling and a slight heat behind his ears. He wondered if he was too humble.
However, he is really distracted now.
He spoke again, this time in a low and soothing voice, mingled with a subtle threat and allure: "As long as you nod and agree, Awu, you will become my queen."
"The most honorable phoenix throne in the world belongs only to you. When the time comes, you will rule the country and enjoy endless wealth and glory. And I will do my best to fulfill all your wishes..."
Qing Wu froze for a moment, her eyes widened, filled with resistance and vigilance. Just as she was about to open her lips—
Xia Lingxiao raised his hand and gently pressed his index finger on her lips, the temperature of his fingertips was hot and scorching.
His voice was low and magnetic, and he said word by word:
"Awu, you know, I can force you to submit, but I don't want to."
"Now, Huo Tingye has led a large army on an expedition to the northern border to defend the city. This journey will take at least two to three years, and may take five years or even longer. By then, the huge general's mansion will become empty, leaving only a desolate and lonely scene."
"And this will only happen more and more in the future."
Having said this, Xia Lingxiao paused, then fixed his gaze on Qingwu again and asked meaningfully, "And you, Ah Wu. Have you ever thought about the Ningyuan Marquisate, have you ever thought about General Miao?"
Hearing this, Qingwu's body began to tremble slightly involuntarily, just like a frightened deer, appearing so helpless and at a loss in this strange and dangerous embrace.
I was thinking, "Aren't you forcing me? I can already feel the burning temperature on my legs."
Qingwu's hands subconsciously grasped the corner of her bright yellow dress tightly. Because she was holding on too tightly, her slender finger joints turned pale due to excessive tension.
"How could you... He's a national hero... And what did you do to my mother-in-law?"
Qingwu's voice was noticeably trembling, mixed with anger, fear, and deep worry.
She remembered that in her daze, she seemed to hear Mrs. Huo's soft and anxious voice echoing in her ears.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lingxiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "Awu, don't worry. As long as you're by my side, nothing will happen to her. Your family will enjoy endless wealth and glory. Otherwise, Awu... you shouldn't have forgotten what life was like in your last life, right?"
...So what have you imagined?
Qingwu was speechless.
In fact, at the beginning, Xia Lingxiao originally planned to use the property and lives of Qingwu's family to threaten her and force her to obey him.
But the news of Qingwu's pregnancy caught him off guard and also gave him the opportunity to think calmly.
After careful consideration, Xia Lingxiao had to face the fact that a deep and inseparable bond had already developed between Qingwu and Huo Tingye.
If he forcibly uses the power in his hands to force Qingwu to give up everything, then Qingwu...
Just hate him.
Thinking of this, Xia Lingxiao couldn't help feeling bitter.
He couldn't deny that he really didn't want to see Qingwu's hateful look.
On the contrary, he longed for Qingwu's attachment, admiration, and even love.
Just like what he did to Huo Tingye.
Xia Lingxiao is the richest man in the world, how can he be inferior to Huo Tingye?
In addition to power and status, what Huo Tingye also brought to Qingwu was love, right?
like?
Such unfamiliar words...
But since Huo Tingye can do it, why can't he?
He pondered secretly, recalling the deep fear Qingwu had revealed when facing him before. He couldn't help but infer that in his previous life, he must have completely disregarded Qingwu's true inner wishes and forcibly took Qingwu away in a tough and brutal manner, using the threat method he was best at.
He made Qingwu unhappy and scared.
This time, he must not make the same mistake again.
Since God has given him the chance to start over, even though he has no memory of the past at this moment, Qingwu does.
He could judge whether what he did was right or not, and whether it was in line with her wishes, by Qingwu's expression.
Just like he had just said that he was willing to keep Qingwu and Huo Tingye's child, although he was extremely unwilling, Qingwu's expression was relaxed and grateful for a moment.
At that moment, all the unhappiness disappeared, and it was also the first time that Qingwu showed him a pure and happy expression.
Xia Lingxiao smiled, and that smile was filled with confidence and pride, as if everything in the world was under his control.
He gently stroked Qingwu's hair and said, "So, Awu, be my queen and stay by my side. Do you think Huo Tingye didn't expect such a situation to happen before he left? Think about it carefully, did he say anything to you? "
Qing Wu's body trembled slightly when she heard this, and her mind began to recall the words that Huo Tingye said to her when he parted before leaving.
At that time, she thought it was just an ordinary thing, but now after Xia Lingxiao pointed it out, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be a deeper meaning in it.
Her brows were furrowed, and her expression became hesitant.
...You are really generous.
Xia Lingxiao just made a random guess and gave some guidance, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Yes, this trip to the northern border is long and the situation is complicated, so it will definitely take a long time.
With Huo Tingye's cleverness, how could he be willing to leave Qingwu alone to wait?
Moreover, she was alone here, and the general's mansion attracted a lot of attention, so her safety was really worrying.
