Chapter 325 - Chapter 325 Chapter 326 Acknowledge the Child

Chapter 325: Chapter 326: Acknowledge the Child Chapter 325: Chapter 326: Acknowledge the Child Shao He felt the intensity of The Emperor’s gaze but was not the slightest bit afraid; instead, she very calmly bowed with hands folded and said, “Your Majesty has clear discernment. The reason I didn’t let the child acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan is that I fear he may be harmed by someone.”

“I would like to see who would dare harm the Royal Descendant!” The Emperor’s eyes carried a thick intent to kill.

Shao He bowed her head, “Just a few days ago, Xiao Linzhang nearly fell victim to someone’s sinister attempt, if not for the Hidden Guard protecting him in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor furrowed his brow, “Was the mastermind behind this found out?”

Shao He replied, “There are no clues yet, but the other party is certainly no ordinary person; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to easily enter the premesis.”

The Emperor sneered coldly, his tone full of anger, “These people are really getting bolder by the day, daring to do anything!”

Pei Huaian seized the opportunity to continue, “It is precisely because of this that the child’s identity has been concealed; we fear he will be poisoned. Even so, there are still those who seek to harm him by any means.”

The Emperor naturally knew who they were talking about and did not expect them to be so ruthless, sparing not even a child.

“What do you plan to do?”

“For the safety of the child, I want to temporarily conceal his identity. Only in this way can we best protect him from becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.”

The Emperor nodded in strong agreement; in the current situation, it’s indeed not appropriate to reveal the child’s identity too early.

Recognizing one’s ancestors and returning to the clan was a matter of sooner or later; there was no need to rush – the child’s identity was already proven.

The Emperor spoke solemnly, “Some matters in the imperial court indeed need to be properly addressed; they can’t continue to act recklessly like this.”

“Father is wise, Your Majesty is wise,” Shao He and Pei Huaian said joyfully together.

The Emperor reluctantly looked at the child in his arms, and eventually placed him on the ground. Watching as he walked farther and farther away, he felt a hint of emptiness in his heart, “In the days to come, bring the child to visit me often. This little one has greatly caught my eye.”

“Yes,” Shao He replied respectfully.

…

Night fell, and the bright moonlight cast its glow over the earth.

After putting the child to sleep, Shao He walked alone to the courtyard, lay back in the rocking chair with hands behind her head, and gazed into the dark sky in contemplation.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came to her ears, and turning her head to look, she saw Pei Huaian dressed in a white robe.

His eyes shimmered with a cold and deep light, a faint smile hung on his lips.

“Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”

“I am thinking about the events of the daytime,” Shao He sighed and sat up.

Pei Huaian sat down opposite her, expertly poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, then poured one for himself.

Shao He lowered her eyes to the tea in her cup, “The Emperor has acknowledged Xiao Linzhang’s identity, but that is all he has acknowledged.”

Pei Huaian immediately understood her worries, realizing it was about this matter, “Don’t worry, I will never let you be wronged, the position of Principal Wife will certainly be yours.”

“The child has already been recognized by The Emperor, and even if the truth is revealed later, it will definitely not harm him, and I am satisfied with that. I know that as a twice-wed woman, it’s not easy to become your Principal Wife,” Shao He said with a touch of despondency in her eyes.

In this age where reputation is held in high esteem, not only Royal Descendants but even commoners, would be reluctant to marry a twice-wed woman as their Principal Wife.

Pei Huaian walked up to her, knelt down, took her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, “Trust me, my position of Principal Wife can only belong to you, I will find a way, so don’t worry anymore.”

Shao He looked up, her gaze meeting Pei Huaian’s.

His eyes were as vast and affectionate as the ocean.

Making Shao He unable to resist being immersed in them, unable to pull herself away.

“Thank you,” she said softly, barely more than a whisper.

Pei Huaian smiled gently, “There’s no need for thanks between us,” he said, then leaned in and kissed her forehead.

“I have matters to attend to early in the morning; I’m going back to my room to rest.”

“Yes… Okay,” she replied, her cheeks flushed, looking down.

After he had left, she suddenly came to her senses, touched her hot cheek, and felt her heart racing as if it was going to leap out of her throat.

Shao He quickly composed herself and lay down on the bed to rest.

The Emperor’s birthday was approaching, and the one overseeing preparations for the birthday banquet was not the Empress, but rather the Empress Dowager.

This infuriated the Empress in the palace; she felt sidelined, believing these things were her responsibility, but someone else had taken charge, leaving her deeply frustrated.

“Your Highness, why would the Empress Dowager do this?” the nanny asked, helping the agitated person sit down.

A fierce look flashed in the Empress’s eyes, “What else could it be? She just wants to make me uncomfortable, don’t forget who truly rules this palace!”

“But… but for so many years the Empress Dowager has never interfered in any affairs,” the nanny reminded her.

Previously, the Empress handled everything, but this time The Emperor had given the task to the Empress Dowager, and there must certainly be a conspiracy afoot.

“I know, but now I have no way to contend with her; I can only endure it for the time being,” the Empress said, her eyes narrowing, her expression turning ashen.

“Go call the Second Prince to me.”

“Yes,” the nanny turned and left.

The Empress looked at the newly sprouted branches of the plum tree and seized the scissors – she shouldn’t have left those branches; she should have cut them all off from the beginning.
