Chapter 386: Birth Of The Twins
Xing was stunned by the sudden action of the Emperor and she froze for a moment. For an Emperor to kneel in front of her, begging... And that too for Weiye?
"Why? Kouki? Why are you doing this for her?", Xing asked the Emperor holding her wrist tightly and burying his forehead in her hands. " It’s not like you love her".
Xing’s tone was filled with concern and care for the Emperor and her disapproval for his actions laced throughout her demeanour.
Even though Chenglei, her father and Lord Zhong were the ones who placed him on the throne, it was she who exalted him to the revered and exalted one as he is now. For him to grovel and beg for a woman and that too someone like Weiye, it irked her.
"She’s the mother of..."
"Do not give me that, Lu Junjie!", Xing gritted her teeth. "Do not pretend even for a second she is a good mother. If so, where is Ah Xuan? Shouldn’t he be here crying for his mother?", her voice resounded in the hall now had no one and Chenglei snorted seeing his brother on his knees for a woman.
"Let’s leave, JiaXing!", he tried to pry his brother’s hands off of her hands but the Emperor only held on to her more.
"Still... Please hear me out, Mingxia! This place... One cannot survive without a mother. Even if she is a bad mother... Still, her presence is a protection." ,he looked at her with his eyes filled with tears.
Xing took a deep breath as she understood the logic behind his words.
The Emperor is someone who grew up without a mother in the inner palace and he’d very well know how his life was like. He was ignored and he ended up getting bullied. If not for his wits and protection of her father and his brother, he wouldn’t have survived.
On other case, Even though Chenglei had a terrible mother, his life in the inner palace was smooth just because his mother was alive and her family was influential.
If Weiye dies, it would leave an opening for the title of the Empress and the other women in the Harem will try to get that position and also to get the attention of the Emperor.
