“You vicious woman!!!” The Emperor, who had always been forbearing, finally could not control the hostility in his heart. He slapped the Empress.

“Ah—”

The Emperor slapped the Empress with all his strength. She was knocked to the ground by a huge force. Her hood was knocked off and half of her face was swollen.

!!

The Emperor was a good-tempered man, but this good-tempered man slapped a woman. After this slap, the Emperor’s strength was also sucked out. He fell onto the chair dejectedly, his forehead sweating and his chest heaving violently.

He pointed his trembling finger at the Empress. “I… I want…”

Before he could say what she wanted, the Empress pounced over and hugged his hand. She cried and said, “Yan’er is your flesh and blood! It’s yours! Believe me! There’s nothing between me and Yuwen Zhao! Really nothing!”

The Emperor mocked, “Hah, so according to you, what Helian Sheng heard is fake?”

The Empress swore. “I was lying to the State Preceptor! I… didn’t have an affair! I…”

The Emperor sneered. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”

The Empress shouted at the top of her lungs, “Your Majesty! It’s absolutely true!”

However, the Emperor could no longer trust her as much as before. In fact, because he was too seriously injured by her, even if what she said was true, it would sound like a lie to the Emperor. “You mean, you didn’t do anything wrong? Yuwen Zhao was willing to plan for your daughter? What right does Yuwen Zhao have to do this?! If Nangong Yan isn’t Yuwen Zhao’s child, what right does the current State Preceptor have to help her time and time again?!”

There were some things that the Emperor could not know, but he was unwilling to investigate. Once he did, the relationship between the Queen Manor and the State Preceptor Hall would not be able to be maintained.

Even when Queen Manor had suffered unforeseen changes one after another a few days ago, the State Preceptor had even divined for him. He said that the Eldest Princess’s birth characters had jinxed the Queen Manor. Look, look, look, how blind was he to not see that the State Preceptor Hall had long colluded with Nangong Yan!

The Empress sat on the ground and smiled bitterly. “Your Majesty, at this point, I have nothing to hide. I’ll tell you the truth! But please believe that Yan’er is indeed your flesh and blood!”

“Hmph!” The Emperor turned his face away coldly.

The Empress did not look at his disdainful expression and said in a daze, “I… have been married to Your Majesty for two years, but I’m still not pregnant. Your Majesty and I are both young and easy to conceive, but why can’t we give birth? The Empress Dowager once asked me this, and her words even revealed that she wants me to fill the harem for Your Majesty. I’m unwilling and want to get pregnant with Your Majesty’s heir as soon as possible. I secretly went to visit a famous doctor. After that doctor took my pulse, he told me that it was not suitable for me to be pregnant. I didn’t believe it, but after being favored for a while, my stomach still didn’t move. The Empress Dowager sent someone to send me pregnancy medicine every few days. On the surface, she wants me to be pregnant, but in reality, she’s reminding me to accept a concubine for Your Majesty.”

The Emperor frowned. “Why would Mother…”

The Empress smiled bitterly. “That’s right. Of course she won’t tell Your Majesty. Your Majesty only has me in his heart, and I can’t give birth. The Empress Dowager doesn’t want to ruin her relationship with you as a mother and son, so she can only think of something from me. I was forced to do so and happened to have my family come over, so they gave me a plan.”

The Emperor had an ominous feeling.

The Empress choked and said, “I once asked Your Majesty, what if a palace maid seduced Your Majesty? Your Majesty said that you would kill her. Does Your Majesty still remember these words?”

The Emperor said, “I did say such a thing. When I married you, I promised you that I would never betray you in this life. You will be my only wife and there will be no concubines in the six palaces.”

This man had done it. If it weren’t for her greedy schemes, she could have grown old with him until they died.

The Empress covered her eyes as regretful tears flowed from between her fingers.

She needed a child, even if it was not her who gave birth to it. However, the palace maid would be killed by the Emperor. It was inevitable that the daughter of an aristocratic family would be noble because of her son, which threatened her status. She needed a woman who could not be killed, but would not be noble because of her son.

“I thought of Shen Yun.”
