The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy
Chapter 460 Mermaid 24
Li Xingchen couldn't listen to the Queen's preaching. It was clearly a certainty, but now because of the child's problem, he might not be able to inherit the throne.
Li Ye has been taken to the Insect Star by him, and whether he can come back is still a question. His biggest threat has been solved.
Now it's the issue of the child. Obviously, as long as the queen mother agrees to his request, the rest of the things will be foolproof. Why does the queen mother have to lecture him? Isn't he her most beloved son?
Li Xingchen's irritability and unwillingness spread like wildfire. He couldn't understand why the queen was so determined to oppose his idea. In his opinion, this was just a simple solution, a way to let him inherit the throne with peace of mind while satisfying his personal desires. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with anger and confusion.
"Mother, why are you so stubborn? I just want a child, a child who can prove the continuation of my bloodline. Is there anything wrong with that? Don't you want to see me have an heir and continue the glory of the royal family?" There was a hint of questioning in his voice, as if the queen's opposition was the greatest betrayal to him.
The queen looked at Li Xingchen, a trace of grief and sorrow flashing in her eyes.
She knew very well that her son had been blinded by power and desire. He had forgotten his responsibilities as a prince, and even more so the warmth and kindness of human nature.
Li Xingchen is completely beyond help.
"My mother has said this. Do you think your father doesn't know what you did? Don't come to me if you have any problems in the future. As for Princess Sheng Rao, you should think about how to seek her forgiveness."
The Queen was completely disappointed with Li Xingchen. Her words hit Li Xingchen's heart like a heavy hammer. He took a few steps back, his face as pale as paper.
He had never thought that his every move was already under the control of his father, and he had never expected that the queen would be so decisive in drawing a line between him and her.
"Mother...you...what do you mean?" Li Xingchen's voice trembled. He tried to find a glimmer of hope in the queen's expression, but all he saw was determination and indifference.
The queen turned around, with her back to Li Xingchen, and looked at the boundless sky outside the window, feeling mixed emotions.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm her emotions, and said slowly: "Xingchen, as a prince, you should be a role model for the people, but your actions have strayed far from this path. For your own selfish desires, you do not hesitate to hurt innocent people and even trample on the dignity and peace of your race. How can you take on the responsibility of the future of the empire?"
"Mother... I..." Li Xingchen hesitated as he found that he could not find any reason to defend himself.
But he was clearly doing this for the future of the empire. He wanted to inherit the throne and make the empire more prosperous.
Moreover, he captured those mermaids for experiments for the sake of human reproduction. He wanted humans to return to an era where they could reproduce on their own, rather than relying on intermarriage with the mermaids.
The Queen did not turn around and continued, "Your father had high hopes for you, but your behavior made him... He did not interfere directly because he wanted to give you a chance to reform, but now it seems that you do not cherish it, Xingchen, you are no longer the innocent child. You have become selfish, cold, and even unscrupulous. How can your mother trust the future of the empire to you?"
After hearing this, Li Xingchen did not regret it. He had done it for the empire, and everything he did was right!
However, the Queen's words were like a sharp blade, cutting through his inner self-perception bit by bit, forcing him to face the true nature of his behavior.
He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke in a low and complex voice: "Mother, you don't understand. Everything I do is for the future of the empire. Although the mermaids are strong, their blood is not ours after all. Long-term dependence on them will only make us humans lose our ability to reproduce and become vassals. I am paving the way for the future of mankind, even if this road is full of thorns."
The queen shook her head gently and turned around, her eyes filled with pity and disappointment. "Xingchen, you are wrong. True strength is not achieved through conquest and plunder, but through understanding and cooperation. The mermaids have coexisted with us for thousands of years. They are not only our friends, but also our indispensable allies. What you call 'for the empire' is actually severing this deep friendship and destroying our common future."
"Furthermore, regarding the issue of children, do you think that you can secure your position simply by relying on a child with pure blood? A true emperor does not depend on the purity of his blood, but on his wisdom, courage, and benevolence. If you can put the people first and win people over with virtue, why worry about not having the support of the people?"
Li Xingchen frowned as he listened to the queen's words.
"That's enough! It's not like that at all! Why can't you understand me? I know, mother, you are a mermaid after all, so you will definitely consider mermaids. I thought you were feeling better, and I was happy for you, but now it seems that you should continue to be sick."
Li Xingchen said this, moving slowly towards the queen.
There was a murderous look on Li Xingchen's face.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
Han Luo saw and wanted to stop Li Xingchen. She felt murderous intent from Li Xingchen.
"Luo'er, don't worry about it. I have to do this for our future. We must have a child."
"But this is the Queen Mother!"
Han Luo's voice trembled with shock. She looked at Li Xingchen in disbelief. Her eyes, which had once been as gentle as water, were now filled with determination and madness.
"Han Luo, don't forget that you are married to me. You are my princess consort. We are grasshoppers on the same rope! Are you sure you want to stop me?"
Li Xingchen threatened Han Luo, but in the end, Han Luo shut up and walked aside.
"Li Xingchen, how dare you! I am your mother!"
The queen was slightly shocked when she heard this. She had never expected that the son she had raised for many years would have such thoughts about her at this moment. The eyes that were once full of respect, love and dependence were now as cold as ice, which made her feel unprecedented chill. However, she did not retreat, but straightened her back, and her eyes revealed an inviolable majesty.
"Xingchen, how dare you be so rebellious! I am your mother, and one of the guardians of this empire. If you dare to touch me, you will push yourself into an abyss of no return. How long do you think you can stay in this palace without the support of your mother? Do you think your father will really sit back and do nothing?"
The queen's words were powerful and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Li Xingchen's heart.
He was stunned, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but soon, this hesitation was replaced by a deeper obsession. He knew very well that if he gave up, all his years of planning would come to nothing and the throne would be out of reach.
"Mother, I'm sorry, but I can't give up. For the throne and the future of the empire, I have to do this. Please forgive me, but this is the only way out." Li Xingchen's voice was low and firm. He slowly raised his hand, and a weak energy wave condensed in his palm.
At this critical moment, a figure flashed in front of the queen like a ghost.
