1387 Brainwashed by the Emperor
Since ancient times, emperors had always been suspicious. Even if the current Emperor was an oddball, he would die one day.
If he died and his son succeeded to the throne, he would not be as easy to talk to.
The Gu family was a little special because of Grandpa Gu’s identity. Moreover, there were so many transmigrators in the Gu family. Who knew what kind of people would be in the position of the Gu family in the future?
If they were alive, it would still be fine. But if they were not around, what would happen to their descendants?
Cai Xiaolian didn’t want her descendants to be remembered by others.
In fact, Gu shouxin had rebelled. If he were to abdicate the Emperor and take over the throne, then their family would have a guarantee of survival.
However, this would inevitably lead to brothers killing each other. Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne had been through the blood of countless people.
Moreover, Cai Xiaolian didn’t want anyone in the court to let Gu shouxin choose a consort all day long.
This method was eliminated. Then, there was the most suitable method, which was to cultivate an Emperor himself.
A few generations later, as long as great Zhou did not lose, their family would be fine.
Gu shouxin fed her another mouthful and said,”Lu Zheng and I have the same intention.” I was thinking that the Emperor would work hard and we would pick a newborn from his concubines and raise her. ”
Lu Zheng was a reincarnated person and knew the temperament of the princes better than the two of them.
Cai Xiaolian took another sip and said, ” “I just saw the Empress” expression and felt that she wanted a child. She and the Emperor probably also felt that the third Prince was not good enough. The Emperor and Empress have deep feelings for each other. If the Crown Prince is the Empress “child, there will be a lot less trouble.”
Gu shouxin was suddenly enlightened. In the past, when he was talking to Lu Zheng about the Prince, he had never thought that the Empress in her thirties could give birth. Now it seemed that if his sister-in-law could give birth, why couldn’t the Empress?
Then, the couple decided to give it a try.
If the Empress could give birth to another son, Gu shouxin would have finished his business in kunzhou and returned to the capital by the time the child was enlightened.
At that time, Gu shouxin would work together with Lu Zheng to cultivate a child, and together, they could conquer the great Zhou Dynasty. Wouldn’t that be great?
The couple felt that it was not appropriate to tell their unmarried daughters, Gu Nian and Gu Xin, about having a baby. Thus, they decided to use a few jade beads.
When grandma Xiao came to take Cai Xiaolian’s pulse the next day, Cai Xiaolian asked grandma Xiao if she had any medicine for a woman’s body.
When grandma Xiao heard this, she laughed and said, ” you’ve given birth to three children in a row in the past two years. That’s enough. The ye and Gu families have descendants now. Don’t work so hard. We women have to treat ourselves better.”
Cai Xiaolian blushed. She knew that grandma Xiao had misunderstood her, so she explained it to her directly.
Hearing this, grandma Xiao thought for a moment and decided to take the Empress’s pulse first.
The Empress gave birth to the third Prince when she was in her teens, which meant that the Empress was fertile. She was the Empress, so there must be a reason why she didn’t give birth in the next ten years. It was just that no one knew.
It was not convenient for Cai Xiaolian and grandma Xiao to take the initiative to mention this matter. It had to be the Empress herself, so the two of them didn’t act immediately.
Cai Xiaolian was in her confinement period, and Zhang Shi and Yang Shi’s due date was also next month. The weather had been a bit hot recently, so the matter of entertaining the Empress was handed over to consort Kang and Madam Xue. The Empress and consort Kang were sisters-in-law, and Madam Xue was her sister-in-law, so the three of them had a good relationship.
The Empress followed them around kun city for a few days and didn’t like to go out anymore. It was indeed a little hot outside, so she stayed at the Gu family’s house and played cards with everyone.
