Chapter 1259 The Emperor Turns Into a Dog

Then the Emperor saw the Empress Dowager’s astonished expression.

“Ah, Mother, no, I just woke up. She is pregnant, let her not worry.” The Emperor, seeing the Empress Dowager’s expression, sensed trouble and quickly explained to avoid the Empress Dowager seeking Daoists’ interventions.

“Oh, indeed, she is pregnant.” Tianmiao nodded knowingly, pretending to believe.

“By the way, Mother, how are the Empress and the Princess… Are they well? I mean no other intention, just, just want to know if they’re doing well.” The Emperor hesitated, mumbling his question.

And again, he saw his mother’s horrified expression.

At that moment, the Emperor clearly realized his own failures.

“Why are you thinking of them?” Tianmiao asked in shock, “Emperor, you’ve been calling for the abolition of the Empress. Do you think she would lead a good life? Also, how long has it been since you’ve seen the Princess? Do you know how tall she is?”

I know how tall she is. The Emperor almost blurted out.

“Do you know the Princess still doesn’t have a name? You’ve never named her.” Tianmiao continued.

The Emperor buried his head.

He really wasn’t a qualified father, yet his daughter still thought of him.

It’s truly inexcusable!

“I, I will name her later. I want to go and see them.” The Emperor struggled to get up.

“You should rest first, take it slow,” Tianmiao gestured for him to lie down, seeing the Emperor’s weak state.

At this moment, the noise at the door grew louder.

“Impossible! How could the Emperor not see me? It must be you, treacherous slave, colluding with traitors to harm the Emperor!” Imperial Concubine Shuyi’s sharp voice rang out.

“Please forgive me, Your Highness. Even with ten times the courage, the old servant wouldn’t dare such a thing…” Eunuch Xue’s pleas were drowned again by Imperial Concubine Shuyi’s piercing voice.

“Impertinent! You audacious slave, step aside! I must see the Emperor, cannot let the Emperor be harmed by traitors!” Shuyi’s voice grew louder.

Tianmiao glanced sideways at the Emperor, his expression inexplicable.

The Emperor felt the veins on his forehead thumping.

“Imperial Concubine Shuyi seems to be a bit unruly, doesn’t she know the Emperor has just woken up? But it matters not, after all, she’s pregnant, Emperor, you should be forgiving, think of the child in her womb…” Tianmiao said slowly.

The Emperor could no longer tolerate it, sprang up, rushed to the door, flung it open with a loud bang, and roared at Shuyi outside: “Why are you making such a racket? Don’t you know it disturbs my rest?” Are you wishing I’d die immediately to let your womb’s child take over? So eager even before birth, after birth are you planning to poison me immediately? He wanted to roar these words too but thought of the risk of Daoists’ interventions and restrained himself. Slowly advancing, slowly advancing…

The imperial concubine wanting to break in was completely dumbfounded. When had the Emperor ever been so fierce towards her?

“Forgive me, Emperor, forgive me.” Shuyi hurriedly knelt and pleaded for forgiveness, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Having just received news of the Emperor’s awakening, she rushed to express her concern, only for it to backfire?

“Go back and rest well, you’re pregnant. I myself have been unwell lately, will come to see you once I’m better,” Seeing Shuyi’s panicked state, the Emperor suddenly thought of a question: could Shuyi have many facets unknown to him? Better hold back for now, or she won’t reveal her flaws. Furthermore, his sudden shift was too peculiar. With this realization, the Emperor softened his tone.
