Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

The emperor lay on the couch, tears streaming down his face again.

Such a sensible daughter-in-law has experienced so much hardship.

Even at the beginning, I chose this daughter-in-law for Lao Jiu just to deal with the rumors from the previous dynasty... I didn't really want to choose a good daughter-in-law for Lao Jiu.

That's because Chen Zhining's family background is not good, so she was chosen.

After all, he is 24 years old and still hasn't married. It's really unruly.

Fortunately... Fortunately, their royal family is blessed to have chosen a daughter-in-law like Chen Zhining. If they were not blessed and had chosen another daughter-in-law, I really don’t know what kind of chaos their royal family would be in now.

The emperor wiped his tears, stood up, and said to Chen Zhining very tiredly.

"Child, I made you suffer."

"Old Nine may never wake up again, but don't worry. From now on, the Emperor will be your real Emperor."

"You are the equivalent of Pingnan and the Crown Prince! How important they are to me is how important you are to me!"

“You don’t have to worry!”

"..."

He looked sincere and made promises to Chen Zhining many times.

Chen Zhining was somewhat terrified and did not seem to understand what the emperor meant.

After that, the emperor slowly said, "...Li Haitang, go outside and call the third and fourth brothers into the palace."

"By the way, let's call the fourth son's wife into the palace as well."

"Yes!"

"..."

When Li Haitang heard this, he was shocked.

He understood that the emperor was about to start hunting.

Now, the Ninth Prince's wife is pregnant at the perfect time.

Even if the emperor disregards the Ninth Prince's affection, he still has to take care of Chen Zhining and the child in her belly.

This is his own grandson.

His grandson had just been born when his father passed away. No grandfather could accept this.

After Li Haitang left, Chen Zhining looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother nodded to the Emperor with satisfaction and said, "Now, Emperor, you have finally come to your senses."

"Just let it go, it's fine."

She took a sip of tea and spoke to Chen Zhining kindly.

"take a break."

"You must be tired after traveling for so long."

"Also, when you have a good rest, go and see your children. I'm sure your children miss them, right?"

The Queen Mother was very caring, gentle and compassionate towards Chen Zhining.

It's not like facing the emperor. Facing the emperor is like facing a red-eyed chicken.

"it is good."

Chen Zhining nodded, bowed to the empress dowager and the emperor, and then withdrew.

The emperor and the empress dowager were the only two people left in the room.

The Queen Mother slowly spoke: "...Now you have finally come to your senses and punished the third and fourth brothers."

"Among the third and fourth brothers, there must be a mastermind."

The emperor nodded and said tiredly, "The third brother is the mastermind, the fourth brother... the fourth brother was not completely involved."

"The third one is still much more slippery than the fourth one."

"So, are you going to kill the third brother, or the fourth brother, or both of them?"

The Queen Mother asked leisurely.

The emperor was stunned and then lowered his eyelashes.

Then he said to the Queen Mother: "To reply, mother, I want to kill both of them."

"Both of them, no matter who was the mastermind, did it."

"I have repeatedly told them before that they are not allowed to harm Lao Jiu and his wife, but they didn't listen to anyone."

"So, no matter who was the mastermind or who assisted, they all did it."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, "That's right."

"If I were indecisive, I wouldn't be an emperor."

"If necessary, I can even kill your own mother... Do you know that?!"

"..."

Hearing this, the emperor was startled and quickly said to the empress dowager: "This... Mother, you are joking again."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with a smile, "Well, okay, this is just a joke."

"You're asked to relax. You've been worrying about Lao Jiu's affairs for a while, but you still haven't figured it out."

"And he looked haggard."

"Just to cheer you up."

"..."

"Can you just make a joke like this?!"

The emperor was speechless.

His fucking thoughts are still so unconventional.

The Queen Mother said: "In short, they both made mistakes, and your repeated warnings were useless."

"So no matter what the situation is, they are both going to die."

"If you don't let them die, you should think carefully about how you are going to explain to Old Nine in your afterlife!"

"How can I explain this to Lao Jiu's wife?"

"How can I explain this to Lao Jiu's four children now?"

"How can I explain to the unborn child in the ninth brother's wife's belly?"

"Think about it yourself!"

Having said this, she left.

The emperor looked at the empress dowager's figure, staring blankly into the distance, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

Now...he has finally come to this point.

In the end, both sons had to be killed.

The emperor took a deep breath, then called a young eunuch next to him and said to him, "Go to Fengning Palace and invite the queen over."

"Speaking of the Imperial Study, I have something to discuss with the Queen."

"Yes."

The young eunuch bowed immediately.

......

Not long after, Zijuan and Daiyu helped the queen into the imperial study.

After the emperor and the empress sent away the other palace maids and eunuchs, the emperor went straight to the point and spoke to the empress.

"Old Nine has become a living dead now. I don't know when he will wake up."

"I don't know when I will die."

"..."

The queen's heart trembled.

She clenched her hands tightly, her body shaking violently, obviously unable to accept this fact.

However, he did not faint as he did before.

She must have been telling herself and hypnotizing herself during this period of time that no matter what the outcome of Lao Jiu is, she must accept it.

But now, after hearing the emperor say this, the queen felt extremely uncomfortable...
