Chapter 952 Offspring (Part 2)
Just when Sun Shaozong was feeling puzzled, the Crown Princess had already seen him, and her graceful dance suddenly froze.
Then he lowered his head and quietly disappeared into the west corridor.
This made Sun Shaozong stunned again.
He had just been prepared to greet her from a distance, but he never expected that the Crown Princess would take the initiative to step away.
What does this mean?
In the past, whether invited or met by chance, the Crown Princess had always been graceful and had never been so shy and coy like this.
Could it be...
Is it because I was seen letting myself go just now, so I felt embarrassed for ?
After barely piecing together a relatively reasonable explanation, Sun Shaozong did not have time to think any more. The palace maid who led the way pointed to the western corner and said, "Please come in, sir. His Highness has been waiting inside for a long time."
"Thank you for your help."
Sun Shaozong nodded slightly at her and walked to the place she pointed, but saw that it was pitch black inside , with a faint candlelight.
Tsk~
Sun Shaozong smacked his lips. Although he felt that given the current situation, there was no reason for the prince to do anything against him, he still secretly increased his vigilance.
While keeping an eye on the slightest movement in the surroundings, he reported at the door: "Your Highness, your subject, Sun Shaozong, has been summoned to see you."
After a long while, a muffled response came from inside: "My dear, there is no need to be polite. Come in and talk."
It sounded as if there was a layer of separation, but it was indeed the prince's voice.
Sun Shaozong became more and more suspicious, but he didn't want to stay outside the door for too long, so he stepped over the threshold, bowed respectfully, and took the opportunity to look around with his eyes narrowed.
All I saw was that the room was very cramped and narrow, and it was empty, with no household utensils. There was only a low couch in the middle and a candlestick against the west wall.
And there was no trace of the prince in this clear view.
"Your Highness?"
Sun Shaozong called out tentatively, and at the same time was ready to retreat at any time.
"I'm alone here."
The prince's voice responded, but it came from the next room.
Sun Shaozong looked around again and confirmed that there was no other entrance or exit except the door behind him. He couldn't help but wonder, "I am stupid and don't know what the meaning of your highness's arrangement is?"
"The profound meaning of this cannot be explained in a few words. My dear, why don't you sit on the couch first and listen to me slowly."
After he said this, Sun Shaozong became even more afraid to sit down.
He just leaned forward a little, bowed at the head of the bed and said, "I have never met Your Highness in person, how dare I be so rude? I wonder what instructions Your Highness has for me, please tell me first."
After taking just a few steps closer, Shaozong discovered something strange - the wall separating the two of them did not seem to be made of bricks, tiles, wood or stone, but a thin layer of tanned cowhide.
The flickering candlelight cast a shadow on his burly figure, which, in the eyes of the prince standing opposite, looked like a shadow play.
"My dear ... do you still remember Master Wang?"
While looking at the cowhide wall, Sun Shaozong suddenly heard the prince mention the Taoist who specialized in treating infertility. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought to himself, could these arrangements be made for the purpose of having a child?
But on second thought, he really couldn't imagine what these arrangements had to do with having children - as for borrowing sperm or something like that, he rejected it immediately.
The prince wanted to have offspring in order to prove to the emperor that he could still continue the royal bloodline.
Especially since his current situation is well known to everyone, it is already difficult to gain people's trust, let alone to interfere.
While he was constantly speculating, he replied respectfully, "I once met Master Wang at your residence."
"Then, my dear, do you still remember what Master Wang once said?"
Although it was a question, the prince did not wait for Sun Shaozong to respond, and took the initiative to reveal the answer: "Although I was harmed by a villain, my roots are still there. With the help of appropriate external stimulation, I still have the ability to make people pregnant!"
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Now that Concubine De has given birth to a child, my position as the crown prince is in jeopardy. I can only overcome this disaster by asking you to lend a helping hand!"
With external help?
Appropriate stimulation?
At the beginning, Master Wang did say this, but in this situation, what did the prince say about "giving a helping hand"...
How did he know the second master's words? !
Before he could finish his words, he heard the prince say from the next room, "If a woman comes in later, you don't have to be restrained, just be unrestrained."
So this is what it means.
Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was speechless again - the prince came to him in a hurry just to eavesdrop on the room through the wall!
I racked my brains yesterday and thought of many ways to deal with the situation, but in the end it was all just hard work!
Therefore, after Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, he could not help but say, "There must be many people willing to serve Your Highness, why do you have to rely on me, a humble minister ..."
"If any of them would be effective, why would I have to wait until you return to the capital? I have already made up my mind about this matter, I hope you will not shirk it!"
There was clearly some impatience in the prince's tone.
This forced Sun Shaozong to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
Right now the prince obviously regards his offspring as his last straw. If he insists on not doing it, he will most likely become his enemy.
In this way, the Sun family is tied to the Second Prince. If something happens to the child who is not even a month old...
You're not being watched by anyone, it's just that the walls have ears. So what's the harm in giving it a try?
Just as I thought of this, I heard footsteps getting closer outside. When they reached the door, they hesitated to move forward.
This move made Sun Shaozong curious again - if the prince had already arranged it, why was he so hesitant?
Could it be that this person dares to disobey the prince's order?
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so he couldn't help but move closer to the door and peek outside.
When Sun Shaozong saw the person clearly, he suddenly realized that it was Zou Qingyun, the trusted female official of the Crown Princess, outside the door. No wonder...
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Zou Qingyun grit his teeth and walked forward to knock on the door of the next room.
"Who?"
"Your Highness, the Queen just felt unwell and may not be able to serve you..."
She's actually the Crown Princess?!
