Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

Li Xuanlin's answer to her was silence.

He did, quite a few times.

Li Xuanlin's look also made the empress dowager understand what he meant. After all, she was a child she had raised from childhood, so she understood him more or less.

"You are so confused!"

"I dare anyone to touch it!"

The Queen Mother rarely spoke to him like this, but at this moment she couldn't help but get furious.

Nanny Xue stepped forward to comfort her, "Your Majesty, please don't get too angry. I heard that the man is very beautiful. Your Majesty is young and energetic after all, so it's inevitable that you will be tempted and lose your composure..."

"Besides, isn't it forbidden for His Majesty to let anyone get pregnant? Who knew she would get pregnant? I guess His Majesty himself didn't expect it."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask, "Did the imperial physician cure your illness?"

Li Xuanlin shook his head.

He didn't know it, but he did make Lin Yan pregnant.

"Then it seems that... the child she is carrying is not yours at all. Maybe she was pregnant with it when she was in Langguo."

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother calmed down.

Li Xuanlin said, "It's mine."

Queen Mother: "?"

Li Xuanlin said again: "The child is an orphan."

Even if it's not his, it must be his.

"Then have you ever thought about what to do after the child is born? The news has spread. What do the ministers and the people think of this?"

It’s not that the Queen Mother doesn’t want to hold her grandson, but this grandson is too special and she doesn’t dare to hold him at all.

"I will find a way to deal with it."

Li Xuanlin did not expect that this matter would spread so suddenly. So many people knew about it at once, making things troublesome.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, sat down and said calmly: "The best way is to wait until she gives birth to a child and kill her."

Get rid of the mother and keep the child.

"Can't kill."

Li Xuanlin immediately denied her words.

He explained: "She is an important figure in Langguo. Killing her like this will easily anger the people of Langguo, which is not reasonable. She is the biological mother of the prince after all. Killing her right after giving birth will easily lead to criticism from future generations... And she must have secretly planted a lot of spies in Xuanwuguo. It's not that easy to kill her."

"Why do you make so many excuses for this?" The Queen Mother looked at him suspiciously and asked uncertainly, "Are you really attracted to her? Are you really bewitched by her?"

Given the current situation in Xuanwu State, if it weren't for the fact that those people were worried about Lin Yan's tricks and were afraid to take action, who wouldn't want to kill her?

Criticized? Which descendants criticized?

If it is really killed, there will be only praise.

Li Xuanlin said stubbornly, "Anyway, we can't kill him. Please give up this thought, mother."

His behavior reminded the Queen Mother of the time when he lost the jade pendant and refused to go back to look for it. He was just as stubborn at that time, saying that if it was lost, it was lost and there was no need to look for it.

"In my opinion, I shouldn't have let you leave the palace back then. You lost the jade pendant and haven't found it yet!"

"If you hadn't lost the jade pendant, I wouldn't have had to worry all those years ago. Until something happened to the Lin family, and you were discovered to have lost the jade pendant, the late emperor became suspicious and banished me to the cold palace!"

When the past was mentioned, Li Xuanlin pursed his lips and remained silent.

Because he lost the jade pendant and it was discovered, someone exaggerated the matter and reported it to the higher-ups, saying that his mother had too much contact with people from the side branches of the Lin family...

The late emperor had always been suspicious and suspected that he was colluding with the Lin family and plotting a rebellion, so he banished his mother to the cold palace. No matter how he pleaded, it was useless.

"Your Majesty, please don't mention this matter. Your Majesty didn't do it on purpose. Your Majesty was also plotted against by someone back then..."

Nanny Xue stood up and spoke again. She was also implicated in that incident and was sent to the cold palace with the empress dowager. They were not released until Li Xuanlin ascended the throne.

This was not a pleasant thing for anyone, especially Li Xuanlin.

In order to plead for mercy, he knelt alone in front of the gate of Chengqian Palace for three days and three nights without eating, and almost died at the gate of Chengqian Palace.

"Ugh."

The Queen Mother also knew what Nanny Xue said was right. She brought up the past in a moment of impulse. She couldn't blame him entirely. Even if the jade pendant hadn't been lost, people who wanted to harm them would still find other reasons to do so.

But the fact that he lost the jade pendant has always lingered in her mind.

"Back then, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau reminded me in private that you must keep the jade pendant safe and always carry it with you, otherwise a disaster will take your life..."

"What I have been worried about all these years is not that you would lose the jade pendant and be discovered, but that I would be the one to send you off when you are young!"

"After so many years, the jade pendant is still missing, and you refuse to explain where you lost it. If you don't take your life seriously, I can't do that!"

Every time the empress dowager thought of the jade pendant, she couldn't help but cry. What the Imperial Observatory said had never been wrong. She only had this one child. What would she do if she really lost him?

"Now you are entangled with the enemy country, what if it brings disaster?"

Along the way, the Queen Mother knew that beneath this seemingly lucky surface were hardships that were unknown to the public. When Li Xuanlin seized the throne, she couldn't sleep for whole nights because she was afraid that he would fail.

But when he became successful, she was afraid that someone would harm him, so she became a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day just to pray for his safety in this life. Behind his wealth and glory, she was haunted by nightmares every night.

"I know that I was born ordinary and have little ability, so I never expected you to achieve anything great. When you were a child, I repeatedly warned you not to cause trouble and not to take other people's words to heart. When you get a fief in the future, you will have endured the hardships in this palace."

As a result, too many unexpected events happened, one after another, catching her off guard, and in the end she didn't get what she wanted.

Nanny Xue understood her. She had been serving the empress dowager since she entered the palace. She knew very well that the empress dowager was a person who did not seek to contend with the world and had no ambitions. At first, she just wanted to stay in the palace peacefully until she died. She did not care whether there was the emperor's grace or not. She just wanted to treat it as a place to live in her old age.

Later, when she became pregnant, the Queen Mother was well aware of the dangers in the palace, so she was very careful in everything she did during her pregnancy, not daring to make the slightest mistake for fear that something might happen to the child.

Although the child was born weak and was predicted to have no offspring in the future, the Queen Mother was actually happy. She was also very afraid of giving birth to a prince because she had no power or influence in the palace and would not be able to protect him at all.

Moreover, because the child was infertile and no concubine wanted to adopt him, the late emperor felt sorry for her and allowed her to take care of the child.

At that time, the Queen Mother finally had hope. This was a disaster in the eyes of others, but it was a blessing in her eyes. Since she entered the palace, she had never dared to hope to leave the palace. Now she finally had a glimmer of hope that she could go out and live the life of an ordinary person.

But after waiting so long, what she got was not the news of being granted land and crowned a king, but a mutiny and rebellion. Her child, who had been so obedient and sensible since childhood, became the emperor, and she became the empress dowager. She could leave the palace, but could never leave the "palace" again.

She was completely trapped in the palace.

"Your Majesty, please take things easy. His Majesty has always been a cautious and opinionated child. He must have a way to deal with it."

Nanny Xue tried to comfort her. Over the years, she had watched Li Xuanlin grow up. Although the child was sometimes very stubborn, he was very obedient most of the time.

Now that the mistake has been made, there is no point in blaming others.

Li Xuanlin bowed his hands, lowered his eyes and assured: "I will take care of it, please rest assured, mother."
