Chapter 1165: Chapter 1161: Regenerate Another One?
Yue Lian flipped through her previous keepsakes and hastily wrote a letter by night, which she entrusted to the old steward to deliver to that long-retired ‘beauty Doctor’.
————
Originally, the men sent out by Wang Jingzhi should have returned to Yangzhou Prefecture today with the body of Wang Weiran, along with Wang Yun, but there was no sign of them even as noon approached.
Wang Jingzhi had spent the entire morning waiting with Chu Yihan, his back drenched in cold sweat. Standing before Chu Yihan, he bowed respectfully and said, “Emperor, it’s already noon. Perhaps you should have your lunch first. Maybe they encountered some trouble while exhuming the grave, which has caused the delay.”
Logically, they should have returned by now!
Chu Yihan’s expression was stern, his voice deep, “Send someone to find out what happened.”
Wang Jingzhi’s body trembled, “Yes… I will go immediately, Your Majesty!”
He hurried out, daring not to delay a moment longer.
It was only after he had left that Su Yingxue casually sat down next to Chu Yihan, picked up his teacup, lifted her veil, and took a sip, saying, “That Lord Wang is really trembling with fear. It’s been so many days, and he still acts like a student who has made a mistake in front of you.”
Clearly without any issues, yet the fear of Chu Yihan made him look like he had lost weight.Update by n0vgo. co
Chu Yihan extended his arm and embraced her, “If a sovereign does not command the respect of his officials, how can he exude authority? Besides, if he truly has done nothing wrong, I will certainly reward him.”
The prefects of the four cities of Jiangnan hold crucial positions. Although their achievements are outstanding in the reports submitted to Jiang Du City, and there have been no evident complaints along the way, it’s essential to ascertain the depth of the water through thorough testing.
Su Yingxue listened to Chu Yihan talk about the ways of an emperor and felt overwhelmed. She thought about how her son would also have to learn so much, understand so much, and be so concerned. She immediately began to feel sorry for him, “Is it possible to appoint someone else’s son as Crown Prince? It will be too arduous for the little monster when he grows up, won’t it?”
The path Chu Yihan had trodden was one the little monster would have to traverse again.
The more Su Yingxue thought about it, the more she felt that being an Emperor was a role better suited for someone else.
“If he does not inherit the throne, in the future, if you and I live a carefree life, would we still have to take him with us?” Chu Yihan’s expression cooled. He had finally found a way to get rid of his son, to live alone with Su Yingxue in the future, and he was not going to allow any disruptions.
Once his son could read and write, he would surely teach him well and quickly prepare him to take over, so he could cast away the throne.
It’s just a matter of a decade or so.
Once his son assumes the throne, he would be free to travel the world with Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue knew this was his calculation, which made her feel even sorrier for the little monster.
She wrapped her arms around Chu Yihan’s neck and bit her lip, “How about we have another little brother or sister for the little monster? It’s too tough for him to be the Emperor all alone. He should have some company.”
Chu Yihan immediately refused, “As an Emperor, he should bear his responsibilities. What does he need a brother or sister for!”
“Aren’t you being too heartless?” Su Yingxue pouted, always feeling pity for her child, not her husband.
Chu Yihan placed his hand on her flat abdomen, his expression serious, “If not having another child is considered heartless, then I do not mind being heartless once again. Childbearing takes a heavy toll on the body, and you still haven’t recovered from your migraines. If you were to conceive again, all the pain you went through before would have to be endured once more.”
The dangers of Su Yingxue giving birth had nearly cost him her life.
At that time, his heart felt like it was tearing apart. He had refused to hold the little monster for three days after his birth, and that was why.
