Chapter 291 - Chapter 291 Chapter 292 Do Not Stand Against Him

Chapter 291: Chapter 292: Do Not Stand Against Him Chapter 291: Chapter 292: Do Not Stand Against Him “Rest assured, Your Majesty, you will be fine, as long as time heals you, but it will still take a few months to fully recover. The so-called recuperation means acupuncture,” Shao He comforted him earnestly.

Hearing her words, the Emperor sighed with relief, but then he leaned against the bed and lamented, “As children grow, so do their thoughts.”

Shao He bowed her head silently beside him. Facing such topic, she knew she should not speak too much and could only pretend she hadn’t heard, after all, the mind of an emperor was hard to guess.

Suddenly, the Emperor turned to look at her, then asked unclearly, “What do you think of the Fifth Prince?”

Upon hearing the Emperor ask her directly, Shao He was unsure of his intention but immediately raised her head to answer, and respectfully said, “I believe His Highness the Fifth Prince, although slightly temperamental, is very respectful and treats people with warmth and kindness, and is very considerate in his dealings with others…”

After hearing her response, the Emperor nodded with a chuckle, his eyes showing appreciation, “Hmm, well said.”

“I can see that you have feelings for the Fifth Prince, I can grant you the position of a Concubine, but the child must be raised outside, and naturally, it would be best if you could find the child a good home.”

Shao He’s mouth twitched, and she quickly knelt down to refuse, saying, “This commoner does not wish, this commoner does not wish to abandon her child and enjoy riches and honor alone, I would rather endure hardship with my child and see him grow up safely.”

The Emperor looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to refuse directly.

Shao He remained calmly kneeling, her expression resolute as she made it clear to the Emperor that she would not leave her child under any circumstances.

Seeing her resolve, the Emperor sighed and, closing his eyes, waved his hand, “Rise.”

“Thank you for Your Majesty’s grace.” After bowing, Shao He quickly stood up, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

The Emperor did not insist on anything, but he could see that Pei Huaian really liked this woman, although Pei Huaian vigorously denied it, but he knew his own son well.

Pei Huaian denied it because he was afraid he would harm the woman, and even more afraid others would hurt her.

“Huaian is a child fated to endure hardship, distinguished himself in a battle at a young age. Outsiders only see the glory, but I know how hard his journey has been.”

Shao He did not respond but stood silently there. Every word from the Emperor pained her, but she could not reply, for she did not know how to express her views about Pei Huaian.

Once again, the Emperor looked up at her, “I hope you can, considering the protection Huaian has provided you and your son, help him in a critical moment, or at the very least, do not stand against him.”

“Huaian has suffered all his life and received very little maternal love; thus, his heart is lonely. I worry that if you stand against him, it could be disastrous…”

The Emperor paused, finally sighed, and continued, “He is too proud; around him are only the Hidden Guard and other guards, he hasn’t been close to anyone since childhood, so even if you refuse to stay by his side, please never stand against him.”

“For him, nothing is more cruel than you standing on his opposing side.”

Shao He’s lips trembled slightly as she lowered her head in response, “This commoner understands.”

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction and closed his eyes to rest.

Shao He then quietly left the Emperor’s chambers, and as soon as she walked out, she was summoned by the waiting steward, which puzzled her.

Following the steward to a secluded palace, she saw him stop and asked, “Steward, where are we going?”

The steward turned and bowed before replying, “Empress has called you to catch up, and also…” he paused, “Her Majesty has something to ask Doctor Shao.”

Shao He raised an eyebrow as though she had guessed the reason, she pursed her lips and continued forward with the steward.

In the chambers, the Empress sat elegantly by the window on a soft couch, waving Shao He over as she entered.

Shao He slowly approached.

“This servant greets Your Highness the Empress,” Shao He bowed low.

The Empress smiled and waved her hand, “Dispense with formalities.”

“Thank you, Your Highness the Empress.”

“Sit. I have some matters to discuss with you,” the Empress motioned to the seat beside her.

Shao He obediently sat down, but her gaze fell on the bracelet on the Empress’s wrist, which was exquisitely beautiful and all emerald green.

Such a bracelet, possessed only by the Empress within the entire imperial palace, highlighted the vast wealth the Zheng Family had accumulated.

“I invited you today to inquire about the Emperor’s illness; can you really cure the Emperor?” the Empress asked dignifiedly and elegantly.

As expected, it was about the Emperor’s matter!

“Your Highness can rest assured, this commoner will do her utmost to cure the Emperor,” Shao He answered earnestly.

“Has the Emperor ever said anything to you?”

Shao He was taken aback, what exactly was the Empress up to?

“You need not be so tense; I merely want to show concern for the Emperor,” the Empress said.

Shao He did not believe her words, but being in someone else’s territory, she could only respond evasively, hoping to leave this place of intrigue as soon as possible.

The Empress, indeed, did not trouble her much and quickly allowed her to leave after asking a few simple questions.

The nanny, seeing the departing figure, finally spoke, “Your Highness is just letting her go?”

“If I detained her, the Fifth Prince would have stormed here by now; we cannot act rashly at this moment,” the Empress turned around, her deep eyes gazing out the window.
