QT: TPE Chapter 41.1

The Emperor witnessed Xu Lingyi’s hardship these past few days; she really did vomit up everything she ate.

But even as emperor, there was nothing he could do about pregnancy. All he could do was instruct the imperial kitchen to prepare more light and delicious dishes and to offer a wider variety of options.

Even so, Xu Lingyi still couldn’t eat anything.

Whether she was lying in bed or sitting up, she felt dizzy and nauseous.

At first, Nanny Zhang would try to persuade Xu Lingyi to eat something, but after seeing her vomit so badly right after eating, she dared not try to persuade her anymore.

Xu Lingyi had heard that some people experience severe morning sickness, but she never expected that she herself would be one of them.

She even had a moment of regret about getting pregnant with the child, because it was just too painful; she was tormented by the baby in her womb.

But there’s no turning back now that the arrow has been released, and besides, she really needs the child.

Having a child gave her confidence and leverage, making Li Xu no longer a threat. She dared to confront Princess Minghua and even attempted to kill her.

Only by constantly thinking this way could Xu Lingyi feel that the nausea churning in her stomach could be suppressed a little.

After the morning court session, the Emperor went to see Xu Lingyi immediately.

“Your Majesty…” Xu Lingyi said, her voice filled with deep grievance, her eyes red.

The Emperor saw her lying there weakly.

“My beloved concubine.”

The Emperor said, embracing her, “Is it the same today?”

“Mmm.” Xu Lingyi’s voice was also very soft.

“I feel very dizzy and nauseous.”

“Your father will be entering the palace at noon today.” The Emperor said, trying to cheer her up.

“Then we’ll have your father dine with us.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Xu Lingyi had barely finished speaking when she couldn’t help but vomit again.

The Emperor patted her back gently: “I have consulted the imperial physician. These symptoms usually only last for one or two months. My dear consort, please bear with it a little longer. It will get better in a while. Thank you for your hard work, my dear consort. When our child is born, I will help you teach him a lesson.”

“Um.”

Xu Lingyi didn’t believe his nonsense. The Emperor couldn’t help but smile when he talked about children.

Given the Emperor’s love and importance for his child, when the child is actually born, he will be unwilling to discipline him at all; even treasures born in middle age can not compare.

“Today in court, many people urged me to establish a crown prince.”

The Emperor changed the subject. Since she moved here, the Emperor has not hidden anything about politics from her.

Xu Lingyi just listened and never offered any opinions. Even when she did say something, it was only to comfort the Emperor.

“I have already adopted Li Xu as my son, yet they are so impatient that they want me to make Li Xu the crown prince.”

The Emperor’s face was filled with malice: “That Li Xu, he seemed quite clever before, but now he’s just a short-sighted fool. Letting such a person ascend the throne will only lead to the downfall of my empire sooner or later, so I will get rid of him, no matter what.”

The Emperor grew increasingly displeased with Li Xu, seeing him as a villain vying for the throne of his son.

Before she even made a move, Li Xu had already become a thorn in the Emperor’s side.

Once the child is born, Li Xu will no longer be a threat at all.

The Emperor held Xu Lingyi in his arms, gently patting her back, his voice soft, “My throne will only be left to our child. Let him enjoy his glory for a few days. I’ve known for a long time that some court officials have been in contact with him. In the past, I would have definitely taken action, but now…”
