Chapter 1181 - 1175: King Jin’s Conditions
All her years of effort had been in vain. Those ministers who supported King Jin would immediately distance themselves from them, and she could almost foresee the decay of the Prince Jin Residence in the future.
She would not allow such a thing to happen.
"This is the only way to save you," the Empress said with tears in her voice: "You are not an ordinary person, you are King Jin, the future Crown Prince Emperor. From the moment you were born, you became the hope of many. The Ducal Residence has supported us, mother and son, for many years, all their hopes are on you. Without doing this, how could you live up to them? They are also your family, can you disregard their life and death?"
The depths of King Jin’s dark eyes were already filled with tears; he was the Empress’s son, the most noble person from the moment he was born. Laughter was all he ever knew in his life, never tears. In his memory, he had never cried, but at this moment, he wept like a child.
Surrogacy?
That meant watching his own women making merry with other men, then giving birth to sons for him to raise.
Was he to put a cuckold’s cap on his own head?
No man could possibly agree to such a thing.
Yet the Empress continued to cry before him, pressuring him.
"If you are all my family, why can’t you think for me? The world is so big, I am not the only man unable to sire children, why must I endure surrogacy?"
