Empress is forced to be the favorite concubine every day

Chapter 428 Has the queen mother considered her son's wishes?

Yuan Shi clenched his fists and stepped forward to pay his respects.

Empress Dowager Ruan patted Princess Yuan's hand, "You've been tired all morning too, go and have a rest ~ Aijia talk to your cousin."

Princess Yuan nodded and said obediently: "Then Yuan'er will come to eat with aunt later."

Empress Dowager Ruan smiled, "Good boy, my aunt knows you are filial, so go~"

Princess Yuan took small steps, and stepped back three times.

Only Empress Dowager Ruan and Yuan Shi remained in the hall.

Yuan Shiwu moved a twig and sat by the bed, silently looking at the Empress Dowager Ruan who was extremely haggard today.

The mother and son remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Yuan Shi spoke first.

"Queen, do you have anything to say about the princess' biological father?"

Empress Dowager Ruan's peachy eyes flickered, "What did you say?"

Yuan Shi: "Mother, the wolf is staring at King's Landing, and there must be a war between the two countries... Even if it is not the case, if I want to unify the five continents, the first bone I want to chew is the wolf, don't you know?"

Empress Dowager Ruan: "What does that have to do with Yuan'er?"

Yuan Shi asked, "Is it irrelevant? If I expected it to be true, the princess's biological father is a native of the Canglang Kingdom, and his status is not low... Does the Queen Mother really think she is suitable to be the mother of King's Landing?"

Empress Dowager Ruan sighed, her eyes were slightly red.

"The Ai family has kept it from you for so many years, it's impossible to think that you still know."

Yuan Shi's deep pupils looked at her for a moment, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Empress Dowager Ruan: "Shi'er, do you know that your aunt who died early was a pitiful and pitiful woman, she had a bright future but met with bad luck, and she was deceived by that wolf-hearted thing."

"Back then, before Yuan'er was born, the man disappeared. The whole clan forced your aunt to give birth to the fetus, but she said the child was innocent."

"She is willing to die, just to keep this child alive. If not, how can we find her a superior family with the power of the British government?"

As she spoke, Queen Mother Ruan couldn't help shedding two lines of tears.

"Shi'er, Yuan'er is a child of our British government, and has nothing to do with that wolf-hearted man!"

"No matter who that person is, the Ai family will not recognize it, and it is impossible for Yuan'er to go to the Canglang Kingdom, and it will not affect your unification of the five continents."

"The queen mother is old, and Yuan'er is innocent by nature, who else can I entrust her to if you don't entrust her to you?"

"What's more, Yuan'er's heart has grown on you since she was a child. If she is allowed to marry outside, Aijia is really afraid that she will miss it... and commit suicide... If it's true, how can Aijia have the face to see you in a hundred years? Aunt!"

Yuan Shi listened quietly, with no sadness or joy on his face, but the depths of his pupils were gradually frozen.

"Is this the reason why the empress mother insists on marrying her?"

Empress Dowager Ruan was slightly taken aback, "Otherwise?"

Yuan Shi said indifferently: "Has the queen mother considered the wishes of the son and minister?"

Empress Dowager Ruan pursed her lips, showing a trace of surprise, as if accusing, but also revealing an incomprehensible pain.

Yuan Shi twitched the corners of his lower lips, "When the father was still alive, the mother told the ministers that only by ascending to the throne can we mother and son survive..."

"When the ministers gradually came to power, the queen mother told the ministers that Junlin is just one side of the world. To fulfill the great wish of our ancestors, we must expand the territory and unify the five continents..."

"There is nothing wrong with what the mother said. My son is grateful for the kindness of the mother for so many years of nurturing."

"But did the queen mother ask, what does the son like and what does he want to do? Apart from fighting for power and the unification of the world, what did the mother say to the son?"
