Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The four maids immediately fell silent and tensed up.
Shao Youyue turned her body to the side, with most of her back facing Shao
Shuting. “I’m not going back to the palace!”
Shao Shuting thought that she was spoiled and was throwing a tantrum, so he advised her nicely, “Why don’t you go back? The palace has everything. Now that you’re here, you know that I can’t take good care of you here. For the sake of the child in your stomach, you have to go back quickly…”
Before he could finish speaking, Shao Youyue’s tears fell. “If I go back, what if this child goes missing too? Shuting, do you not love me at all…” As she spoke, her tears fell.
This time, Shao Shuting became extremely anxious.
“Hey, hey, don’t cry…” Shao Shuting did not know what to do. He didn’t even Imow where to put his hands and feet.
The four maids knelt down in front of Shao Shuting.
“General, I beg you, please don’t send the Empress back to the palace. It wasn’t easy for the Empress to feel at ease these past two days because she was pregnant with this child. She has been suffering so much.
“It’s rare to see her smile. She said that when the Crown Prince came back, no matter if she gave birth to a boy or a girl, the Crown Prince would definitely be a good brother.”
Shao Youyue was still dropping the largest tear drops known to mankind at this point.
“My son hasn’t even been found yet… I’m not a good mother… His father is the Emperor, but he could not protect him… Even an Emperor couldn’t protect his child… Who else can I count on… Why… Why do you want me to go back… Back to that…
The four maids also started crying from what the Empress said.
So this was what their Empress thought.
“I’m not going back! I refuse to go back!”
If it weren’t for these words, Shao Shuting would have tried to persuade her, but his sister’s words made him feel as if something was stuck in his throat as well. He couldn’t persuade her at all even if he knew he needed to.
Although there was always a slip in every secret, and although he had to be loyal to the Emperor, the Emperor did not protect his nephew well, and his nephew had not been found yet.
No wonder his sister was in so much pain and didn’t want to go back at all.
“I don’t want to be the Empress at all…” His sister was bawling at this point. “I don’t want to be the Empress anymore… Why should I be the Empress… If I wasn’t the Empress, perhaps my child would still be by my side… My son must be by my side. How is he still missing… How much hardship did he have to endure all these years outside… Every day, my mind is filled with his face. I didn’t even get the chance to hear him call me mother… I never even heard his first words…
His sister looked like she was in even more pain, as if she was about to break down.
“If my son had that fate. I don’t want the child in my stomach to be like this again. I won’t return to the palace. I won’t go back ah-”
Finally, his sister broke down.
“General, we beg you!” Zi Cui, Xue Liu, Xia Han, and Miao Han were all frightened. They quickly knelt beside Shao Shuting and begged him to quickly speak.
Their Empress was pregnant!
What if something happened to the baby?
As an official, Shao Shuting should still persuade his sister to return to the palace.
However, as an elder brother…
Looking at his sister’s devastated and pained expression, Shao Shuting steeled his heart. “Alright, I won’t send you back to the palace. Even if I die from treason, I won’t let anything happen to your child..”
