Chapter 725: Let Them Have Their Way

seemed the only option was to use the Life-and-Death Secret Technique. At that moment, she closed her eyes and secretly channeled her internal energy. When she opened her eyes again, everything was a..."Father, I would never harm Ge'er!" Qian Si Chen resolutely opposed. The dream from before, even now every time he thinks about it, his heart aches faintly. Even in the dream, hurting Ge'er like that, he felt heartache. How could he possibly truly hurt her.

"You're such a stubborn fool! If she becomes your woman, what else could she possibly do besides marry you" The Emperor looked at his son, who was as rigid as a stick. He couldn't help but worry. If things continued like this, Ge'er would inevitably end up with the fifteenth prince. His own son wouldn't have a chance.

"Father, my son believes that Ge'er will surely love him again. No matter what, I will never hurt her again!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he froze. Why did he use the word "again" Did he really hurt Ge'er Otherwise, why was there so much hatred in her eyes every time she looked at him, and how could he feel so powerless every time he looked at her Could it be that in his past life, he truly owed her something It seemed that sometimes he had to go to Lanshan Temple to ask the master for advice.

"Fine, suit yourself. But Father has to remind you, if you don't seize this opportunity, when the time comes and you miss it, don't come crying! A person who accomplishes great things should not be confined by minor details!"

"Your son understands."

"Your great-grandmother isn't doing well. Go see her after you're finished with your business."

"Yes!"

After leaving the Yaxin Hall, Qian Si Chen went to Shoukang Palace, but unexpectedly, she ran into Fang Min Rou who was pregnant.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Despite her physical discomfort, Fang Minrou still bowed respectfully to Qian Sichin.

Qiān Sī Chén only glanced at her, waved his hand, and quickly walked to the Taizu's Phoenix couch: "Grandson pays respects to Grand Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager heard his voice, and strained to open her eyes. Her emaciated hand trembled as she reached out towards him: "Chen'er is here..."

"Grandmother, your grandson is here." Qian Sicheng hurriedly clutched the Empress Dowager's hand tightly.

"Chen'er, you seem to have grown up again..." The Empress Dowager looked at him intently, as if she had many words to say to him.

"Grandmother Qin, the Empress Dowager is so ill, why hasn't a physician been called" Qian Si Chen couldn't help but worry seeing the Empress Dowager like this.

"As for the Crown Prince, the imperial physician just came. But the Empress Dowager's illness..." Mama Qin said this, couldn't help but turn her head and secretly wipe away her tears.

Even Qian Si Chen knew about the Empress Dowager's frail health, and now she could only manage to live one day at a time: "Empress Dowager, have you been eating well"

"I had some congee in the morning, and at noon I simmered some blood ginseng to drink. Looking at my complexion, it seems much better." Grandma Qin said as she tucked the blanket tighter around the Empress Dowager's frail body. The Empress Dowager's figure was increasingly thin, and under the thin bedding, she seemed barely a head taller, which made people feel deeply saddened.

"Your Highness, Xiao Yuge used to pulse the Empress Dowager for her well-being. She's a skilled physician, perhaps she could restore the Empress Dowager's health." Fang Minrou, who had been following in, chimed in at this moment.

"Be quiet! You have no right to mention her! I don't want to see you, get out!" Qian Sicheng glared at her fiercely. For what she had done to Ge’er, if not for the Empress Dowager's face, he would never have let her off. She still dared to come near him, just looking at her was infuriating.

Fang Minrou met with a setback, so she left dejectedly.

"Dust-child," at this moment, the Empress Dowager with great difficulty propped herself up to sit.

"Grandmother," Qian Si Chen hurriedly carefully supported her.

The Empress Dowager's lips, pale as death, twitched. "Chen'er," she rasped, "you are the future Emperor of Lan Zhao. You cannot be consumed by love...cough, cough..." Her words were cut short by a violent fit of coughing.

"Grandmother..." Qian Si Chen lightly patted her on the back, but didn't know how to answer her.

"Chen'er, don't believe in any talk of auspiciousness. Without her, you are still the future emperor. Just leave her to your little uncle." With each word the Empress Dowager spoke, it seemed as if she was using all her strength. Her chest rose and fell sharply, as if she could stop breathing at any moment.

"Grandmother, can my grandson love her..." Qian Sichen would naturally know what his grandmother meant. But to ask him to give up He wouldn't, and he couldn't bear it either. Just thinking of Ge’er falling into another man's arms made him jealous to the point of madness.

"Dust, my dear, beauty is a bane. She ultimately doesn't belong to you. Heed your imperial grandmother's advice and let her go." Perhaps having spent a lifetime in this treacherous imperial court, the Empress Dowager had seen through everything.

"No! Grandmother, my grandson wants her, my grandson only wants her..." Qian Sicheng only felt a sharp pain in his heart. He couldn't imagine, if he lost Ge'er, could he still remain calm

"Dust-child you, cough cough..." Seeing him so insistent, the Empress Dowager coughed urgently, and finally managed to calm down: "In this lifetime, your grandmother, and your father emperor, owe your Uncle dearly, far too much... That girl is who he wants, then let's fulfill them. You are the future king, there will be many, many beauties around you, one less won't make a difference..."

“But that’s not her...” Qian Sichu said, unwilling to let go of anything. Every night when he dreamt, he regretted what he had done countless times. He already knew he was wrong, this time, he would never let go again: “I don't owe Xiao Huashang! I won't give Ge'er to him!” There is nothing that can be given away, only Ge'er cannot be given!

"How can you be so stubborn, child..." The Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel indignant: "Since ancient times, emperors who indulged in wine and women have all met a tragic end. Could it be that you also want to follow in their footsteps"

"Grandmother, my grandson only wants Ge'er. I will be a diligent and loving ruler, never becoming a hedonistic tyrant." Qian Sichin was determined not to let go, even if it meant fighting with the young uncle. He would fight to the very end.

“Chen’er, Chen’er, why don't you understand She doesn't love you. Even if you use every means to marry her, her heart isn't with you!” Indeed, the Empress Dowager’s eyes were sharp. As an elder in the palace, she was all too familiar with the loves and affections within these deep palace walls.

“No! Grandmother, it is your grandson who hurt her heart, so she ran off with the little prince in anger. She still loves her grandson!” He couldn't believe that the little person who had always followed him, the one who claimed to marry only him, truly didn't love him anymore.

Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager could only shake her head and sigh. She seemed to have already seen their ending, but she was powerless to change anything.

After Qian Si Chen had spent quite some time with the Empress Dowager, he finally left Shou Kang Palace. Unexpectedly, Fang Min Rou was still standing at the door, refusing to leave. He gave her a cold glance, pursed his lips, let out a cold snort, and flicked his sleeves before turning away.

"Your Highness, I know you hate me, but I still want to say, if you want Xiao Yuge, then cooperate with me, I guarantee..." But before she could finish, her neck suddenly tightened, and in front of her was Qian Si Chen's face magnified N times.g Ting Xuan, you, you, let me go!" Xiao Yu Ge felt his lust, too afraid to move again, she could only stare at him with a mixture of shame and urgency. 。"Little songbird, be good..." he soothed her, t...
