The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy
Chapter 458 Mermaid 22
After hearing this, the queen's expression became extremely complicated, and her eyes flashed with shock, anger, and deep disappointment.
She had never thought that her beloved third son would do such a cruel thing, and she had never expected that the truth of all this would be so unbearable.
The queen was silent for a long time, as if she was digesting this series of shocks. The atmosphere in the bedroom was so depressing that it made people breathless.
"Xingchen...how could he..." the queen murmured to herself, her voice full of disbelief.
Even in the royal power struggle, such a cruel bottom line should not be touched.
Seeing this, Li Ye gently patted Sheng Rao's back to comfort her, then stepped forward and said to the queen sincerely, "Mother, everything Rao'er has experienced is true. She was supposed to be Xingchen's fiancée, but she suffered such injustice. I ask you to give Rao'er the respect and understanding she deserves, and let our wedding be a symbol of peace between the two races, rather than a continuation of past grievances."
The queen took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. She really didn't want to believe what Li Ye said, but Li Ye was the eldest prince. He was the most stable one among them since he was a child, and he never lied.
The queen slowly turned around and her eyes fell on Sheng Rao again. This time, there was a little more tenderness and understanding in her eyes.
"Princess Sheng Rao, I was very offensive in my previous remarks. Please forgive me. I will personally investigate Xingchen's actions and punish him accordingly. As for your marriage with Ye'er, I will fully support it and make this wedding a common celebration for the people of our two countries."
Hearing this, Sheng Rao bowed slightly to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Queen, for your understanding. Sheng Rao is grateful. I also hope that this wedding can become a bridge of peace between our two tribes, so that the future days will be filled with harmony and hope."
The queen smiled and nodded, then said, "It just so happens that your father wants to hold a grand banquet. You can take this opportunity to announce the news of your engagement."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, a warm current seemed to flow quietly in the bedroom, dissolving the previous tension and estrangement.
Sheng Rao and Li Ye smiled at each other. It seemed that the queen had changed sides.
"Mother, I have another favor to ask of you." Li Ye spoke again, with a hint of hesitation in his tone, "Regarding Xingchen, I hope that you can handle this matter fairly and make him responsible for his actions. At the same time, I also hope that you can protect him and give him a chance to reform."
When the queen heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
She knew that as a mother, she could not completely give up her love for her children, but as a queen, she understood the importance of justice and principles.
When it comes to state affairs, she knows what is important.
"Ye'er, don't worry. I will handle this matter fairly and will not favor any party. Xingchen must pay the price for his mistakes, but I will also make sure that he will not be treated unfairly. After all, he is my son and the third prince of the empire."
The Queen's words revealed firmness and determination. She understood that this decision not only concerned the future of Xingchen, but also the stability and harmony of the entire empire.
At this point, the Queen felt nothing but disappointment in Li Xingchen.
At this moment, a maid came to report.
"Empress, the Third Prince and his wife are here."
The maid's voice echoed in the quiet bedroom, breaking the momentary tranquility and seeming to foreshadow another storm.
The queen's expression became complicated again. She sighed softly, her eyes showing helplessness about the reality she was about to face, as well as her last struggle as a mother.
"Let them in." The queen said in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in her voice.
A moment later, Li Xingchen and his princess consort Han Luo slowly walked into the bedroom. They didn't know that Sheng Rao and Li Ye were here.
Li Xingchen had a quarrel with Han Luo recently, and it was all about the child. As a human being, Han Luo is infertile. Recently, many people have been talking about him behind his back, saying that he has very poor vision. Not only did he marry a commoner woman, but it is also impossible for him to have children in this life.
Li Xingchen knew very well that the consequence of not having children was that he would never be able to take the throne.
Li Xingchen really wanted to have his own child, so he discussed with Han Luo to find a mermaid to serve as a surrogate mother.
But Han Luo disagreed, and the two started arguing about this.
Now they come to the Queen to discuss this matter with her.
The queen was originally a mermaid, so she didn't like Han Luo as her daughter-in-law very much.
The queen felt that Li Xingchen was simply losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.
Li Xingchen and Han Luo stepped into the bedroom, both of them had solemn expressions and did not notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the palace. Before they entered the bedroom, Sheng Rao and Li Ye retreated behind the screen, so Li Xingchen and Han Luo did not notice them at all.
Li Xingchen and Han Luo walked straight to the queen. After paying their respects, Li Xingchen spoke first, his voice filled with anxiety and uneasiness: "Mother, I have a request that concerns the future of the empire and the bloodline of my family."
Upon hearing this, the queen frowned slightly, and had already guessed something in her heart.
She looked at Li Xingchen calmly, her eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes of life seemed to be able to see into the deepest secrets of the human heart.
Han Luo, on the other hand, lowered his head and clenched his hands, looking nervous and helpless.
"Xingchen, tell me what's going on." The queen's voice was calm and deep, yet contained a hint of majesty.
Li Xingchen took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Mother, I have been married to Luo'er for a long time, but we still have no children. Considering that the empire needs to continue and the family bloodline cannot be cut off, I want to... want to find a mermaid to be a surrogate mother to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the bedroom froze instantly.
Sheng Rao and Li Ye exchanged shocked glances. They didn't expect that Xingchen would make such an absurd and disrespectful request to women.
The queen's face turned livid, with anger swirling in her eyes.
"Xingchen, do you know what you are saying?" The Queen's voice was low and stern, and every word hit Li Xingchen's heart like a heavy hammer. "You actually want to use such a despicable method to continue your bloodline? Have you ever thought about how insulting and hurtful this is to you, your princess, and that mermaid woman?"
Li Xingchen was shocked by the Queen's sudden rebuke and took a step back, his face as pale as paper.
He had never seen his mother so angry, and for a moment he was at a loss.
"Mother, I just... just want to do my part for the empire and the family..." Li Xingchen's voice trembled as he tried to defend himself.
"That's enough!" The queen interrupted him, her tone full of disappointment and grief, "Xingchen, as a prince, you should set an example and respect every life instead of treating them as tools for reproduction. Your behavior not only violates human ethics, but also tramples on the dignity of the royal family!"
The Queen's words were like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the fantasy in Li Xingchen's heart. He stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. Han Luo looked up at the Queen with gratitude and admiration flashing in her eyes. She had never thought that the Queen would stand so firmly on her side.
