Shen Xihe suddenly stared at him. He actually wanted her to pretend to be pregnant!
As if he didn't know what earth-shattering words he had said, Xiao Huayong smiled lightly, with a trace of gentle reverence in his eyes: "Count the days, I can still see the child."
"Xiao Beichen!" Shen Xihe gritted his teeth and squeezed out his name.
After gathering his courage and calming down, Xiao Huayong looked at Shen Xihe and said, "Yoyo, Ruogu said that it is difficult for people who have been poisoned by this poison to get pregnant. I am afraid that I cannot give you a child of my own.
This is fine. We will announce our pregnancy now, and we will have a baby boy in eight months. He is not your biological child. If he is well-behaved and sensible, and you don't want to work hard, you can raise him well. If he is disobedient and unfilial, you don't need to be soft-hearted.
I have thought it through. There are countless people who have given birth to children but are unable to raise them. I will make all the arrangements so that the child will not have a birthmark. As he grows up, I will ask Ah Xi to diagnose him and make sure he does not look like a blood relative, but just has a few similarities to me."
After he might not be able to accompany her for the rest of her life, Xiao Huayong thought a lot. Shen Xihe must have a child, and it must be a boy. In this way, he would determine the child's status as the crown prince before he left. With a crown prince, there would be no more East Palace, and Shen Xihe could stay in the palace with the crown prince.
She was still the legitimate mother, so her situation would not become difficult, but she would have to fight alone in the future, which would be more tiring. Xiao Huayong firmly believed that none of these would hinder her desire to protect the northwest and her loved ones, and the final victory would definitely belong to her.
Whether it was His Majesty or some other blind person, he would clear the way for her in her final days.
"Do you know what you are talking about!" Shen Xihe had never been so angry. She was so angry that every time she took a breath, she felt like a knife was hidden in the air, cutting through every part of her body.
"Confusing the royal bloodline?" Xiao Huayong said something that others dared not even think about, so nonchalantly, without caring at all, "Isn't the royal bloodline the one that comes to him who is capable?"
The Xiao family is not the first royal family, nor will they be the last.
Before Taizu seized the throne, the Xiao family was just a minister. It was only because of the turmoil in the country that the Xiao family defeated other heroes in the fight for supremacy in the Central Plains and became the royal family.
Xiao Huayong also firmly believed that even if the person who ascended the throne in the future was still of Xiao's bloodline, who could predict how many generations the Xiao royal family could last
As long as the world is handed over to a capable person who can benefit the people, plead for the people, and make the dynasty prosperous, it doesn't matter whether he is his own flesh and blood or not
He believed that the person Shen Xihe entrusted would not be bad. Even if he was bad, Shen Xihe was still there.
Xiao Huayong had been distressed and frustrated countless times before. His wife was too smart and tenacious, which always made it difficult for him to get the sense of accomplishment he wanted from her. At this moment, Xiao Huayong was extremely grateful that his wife was Shen Xihe. Whether he was there or not, she could be proud of the world and live out the glory she deserved.
This may be the reason why she truly attracted him and made him addicted to her.
Shen Xihe's eyes gradually became sharp and cold: "Xiao Beichen, what right do you have to deprive me of my right to be a mother?"
Xiao Huayong's body trembled, his pupils were panicked and painful, he closed his eyes, turned around and didn't face Shen Xihe, his hands behind his back tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and this repeated for a long while before he said in a lost voice: "I... didn't deprive you of the right to be a mother..."
