Chapter 1315: Qi Ruohua: I still want a child

How about this? I'll help you out, so that you……

Hehehe." Qi Ruohua held Jing Yuheng's hand, a wicked smile on her face.

"Your Majesty." Jing Yuheng gave a coquettish cry, annoyed: "What are you saying?"

You know my thoughts, yet you're still teasing me here on purpose.

Qi Ruohua firmly rubbed her hand, affectionately saying: "You're my good sister; I can't let you be wronged. If it weren't for you back then, I couldn't have secured my husband. Now it's my turn to help you—how about I help you nab your husband in one fell swoop?"

Don't worry; if you don't want him to know, I can help you keep it secret. Then you just need to follow my arrangements.

You also don't need to worry about him finding out; he won't. You can also fulfill your wish. I know you don't want him to know, nor do you want to make things difficult for yourself—you've been suppressing your feelings all this time; you must feel…… awful, right?

These past years, you've been avoiding him, diligently cultivating. I know exactly how you feel; as your sister, I can't bear to see you suffer.

She couldn't handle it alone; she needed help, and Jing Yuheng was the best and most suitable choice.

None of the other palace maids in the Wanggong have the qualifications; they may have looks, but lack talent, or fall short in other ways. Moreover, Qi Ruohua doesn't want those maids to be on equal footing with her—if that person is Jing Yuheng, she can accept it.

Even if they came together, there would be no problem—after all, they're good sisters, and sisters naturally share.

Besides, it would be a favor to Jing Yuheng—back then she managed to secure Chen Chuyang thanks largely to Jing Yuheng. As good sisters, how could I see a good sister suffer? Over these years, Jing Yuheng has been busy, rarely returning.

Now that she's returned, Qi Ruohua will certainly help arrange things; she can't let Jing Yuheng regret it for life.

Back then she also promised Jing Yuheng, and she's been doing it all these years—too bad Jing Yuheng isn't in Wangdu.

Yuheng, don't hesitate—this is settled. I'll go notify my husband to come over." Qi Ruohua gave Jing Yuheng no chance to object or refuse, and settled it directly.

"Your Majesty, I……" Jing Yuheng opened her mouth to speak, but Qi Ruohua completely ignored her.

After sending a message to Chen Chuyang, Qi Ruohua lowered her head and said: "Yuheng, go take a bath and doll yourself up; I'll send people to help you—you don't need to do anything, just follow my arrangements."

"This……" Jing Yuheng was still hesitating.

"Come in." Qi Ruohua shouted at the door; two palace maids rushed in. Qi Ruohua pointed at Jing Yuheng: "Take General Jing Yuheng to bathe and doll her up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two palace maids immediately took Jing Yuheng out.

Inside the palace, only Qi Ruohua remained; she revealed a triumphant smile.

Yuheng, Yuheng, don't blame me—this time I'll definitely get you on board, no way you'll escape.

Husband, you'd say that, right?

In the palace's dark corner, Chen Chuyang slowly stepped out; everything just now was Qi Ruohua's act—pretending to hide things from Chen Chuyang, pretending not to let him know, all were lies.

They both knew all this; it was their scheme. The one kept in the dark was Jing Yuheng, poor Jing Yuheng still thinking she had outsmarted Chen Chuyang.

Madam, you're too wicked—Jing Yuheng is your good sister, and you actually deceived her?

Aren't you afraid she'll find out and cause you trouble?

Chen Chuyang laughed despite himself; this madam is truly formidable—one person can't handle it alone, so she found a helper.

Perfect timing—Jing Yuheng has returned, just in time.

Husband, just say whether you want it or not." Qi Ruohua leaned into Chen Chuyang's embrace, lifted her head, and asked with a squinting smile.

Madam, you've arranged all this—how could I, as husband, refuse? If I refused, you'd surely be unhappy." Chen Chuyang held Qi Ruohua; he understood her thoughts completely.

However, Chen Chuyang didn't blame her; instead, he thanked this madam.

Madam, you've been so good to me—how should I, as husband, repay you?

Qi Ruohua tiptoed, leaned into Chen Chuyang's ear, and whispered: "Husband, if you want to repay me, give me a child."

Haoyang has been gone a long time; she misses her son.

It's a pity she can't go to Tianwai; she can only bear another child and start raising it anew.

The Great Qi Dynasty needs an heir; she, after so many years, is also getting tired and bored.

With too many matters to handle, she can't properly accompany Chen Chuyang; the initial excitement has passed, and now the throne of the Great Qi Dynasty feels like a shackle to her, not a blessing.

"The Great Qi Dynasty needs an heir; Haoyang doesn't want the throne, so let's have another child. I don't believe it—this is the throne, after all; surely we can't not want a second child?"

Chen Chuyang laughed: "Hard to say, Madam."

With Haoyang as a precedent, the second child might also be hard to say will stay.

Tianwai is where they ought to go; a mere mundane dynasty cannot bind them.

The throne of the Great Qi Dynasty, for those with talent, is a shackle, not an allure.

The throne of a mundane dynasty holds little appeal; few people want it.

Cultivation, longevity, immortality, strength, status—these are what cultivators seek. Speaking of rank, the throne doesn't even count as status; a mundane throne carries little weight, merely lofty in the eyes of ordinary folk.

In the eyes of true Strong Ones, this throne means nothing.

Ah." Qi Ruohua sighed: "I know, but I'll still try; if it really doesn't work, I'll think of other ways later."

As for the Chen Clan side, it's unlikely—after all, it's the Great Qi Dynasty; either it must be her bloodline, or else the Qi Family's bloodline.

The Qi Family's side isn't weak either; there are still many people there, and they wouldn't allow this to happen.

They could accept Qi Ruohua's child, since it's also of the Qi Family bloodline; they cannot allow a bloodline unrelated to the Qi Family to take the throne—even though the Qi and Chen clans have intermarried over the years, blending their bloodlines, they still won't let a Chen sit on the throne.

If they insisted on taking the throne, it wouldn't be impossible, but it's not worth it.

The Chen Clan's goal is Tianwai, not the Qi Family throne.

Thus, within the Chen Clan, they aren't particularly eager for that throne; as for talented disciples, they've never had such a notion.

Those lacking talent don't even get a chance.

Within the Qi Family, there are also some talents; their thinking is the same: to campaign in Tianwai, rather than hunker down in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Moreover, Qi Ruohua's layout over these years has also been aimed at Tianwai, not a closed-off stance.
