He always believed that I was his threat, so there was no obstacle in getting rid of me. Like him, I inherited the power of the Illusory Realm, but because my father was the emperor of the human realm, I had an even higher status than him, and he was also jealous and worried about me. Even though I had left the Illusory Realm for so many years, there were still people supporting me in the Illusory Realm. Helian Yi smiled bitterly. Even though he was passionate about power, it did not mean that he wanted to become the king of the Illusory Realm. They all thought that the identity he loathed was just a trick, but they did not know that he was the real him.

He didn't like that cold world, didn't like his mother, who he had rarely seen since birth. On the contrary, in the mortal world, this empress dowager who was not related by blood, he truly took her as his mother.

"Will you? If Jiu Yu captures me, will you go and save me? " When he thought about how Helian Xi did not look for her after he was kidnapped by Jiu Yu, Luo Xue got angry.

"Of course I will, I know that you want to talk about what happened last time. Actually, last time I guessed that it was Jiu Yu, and his intention was to test me." Of course I will, I know that you wanted to talk about what happened last time, and the truth is that last time I guessed that it was Jiuyu. Helian Yi knew that Luo Xue was a wise person. She should be able to understand that, but he didn't. Understanding was one thing, and when it happened to her, it was another.

However, you did not do anything. From the moment I arrived here, Little Yuyin had told me that you had always wanted to become a cripple, and my appearance had only allowed you to successfully materialize this matter. How could I trust you? Luo Xue also understood in her heart, but she still couldn't accept it. In those days when she was kidnapped by Jiu Yu, she had been waiting for the appearance of the dragon.

Even if he couldn't save her, it was fine as long as he had that intention. However, he returned to the capital and ignored her.

"That's because that woman is Situ Luoxue, not you. Little girl, you're different from them." Helian Yi Chen explained.

"What's the difference? We are all women that you despise." Luo Xue mocked herself.

"It's not the same. If I marry her, then …"

"The empress dowager has arrived." Just as Helian Yi Chen was about to explain to Luo Xue, the voice of the empress dowager came from the outer hall and interrupted Helian Yi Chen's words.

When she heard that the Empress Mother had arrived, she looked at Helian Yi suspiciously.

"Her Majesty must have heard that you were pregnant and came to see you. You don't have to worry." At the same time that Helian Yi got up, she comforted Luo Xue.

"I don't have any. It's not like I've never seen them before, it's just that …" Luo Xue's voice fell upon the empress dowager who had entered. She was indeed more popular than most people, and the empress dowager looked very young, not like Helian Chen's mother at all. When the two stood together, she looked more like a sister than a sister.

"Your son greets mother." Helian Yi Chen Chen respectfully greeted.

Although Loxue was lying on the bed, her eyes were wandering between the Empress Dowager and Helian Chen. She had never seen Tyrant act so respectfully towards anyone. Looking at his expression, this respect was not just an act, but a kind of filial piety and respect.

Luo Xue had some doubts in her heart, but the empress dowager had already walked over with a smile on her face. She was obviously a very beautiful woman, but seeing her smile, Luo Xue just felt uncomfortable.

"Empress, a husband and wife shouldn't go home to their parents at all times due to puking. What's more, you're a queen, so you should set an example in the harem so that you don't act like a child. Especially now that you're pregnant, you have to pay more attention." the Empress Dowager said as soon as she reached the bed.

"Muhou, this is your son's fault this time. It's also reasonable for the empress to go back to her parents' home. It's your son who didn't consider the empress's feelings." When the Empress Mother had finished, Helian Yi took the initiative to admit her mistake.

Luo Xue didn't say a word, feeling that this was the mother and son duo singing a song. She was just an innocent victim, so she didn't believe that the empress dowager, while she was in the palace, didn't know that she had been severely forced to confess by the emperor.

She didn't believe that in a place like the harem, the imperial concubines wouldn't be chattering in front of the empress dowager. To put it in a better light, they had come to see her, but hadn't actually come to reprimand her.

"The young master should be punished for doing something that would harm the nation. The emperor has not punished the empress for that, and that's already very merciful. If the empress wasn't pregnant, this one would definitely have crippled you." Her Majesty said sternly.

Looking at the empress dowager's face and hearing her words, Luo Xue truly felt wronged. Didn't movies and TV dramas all say that the empress dowager and empress stood on the same side? Why was she so sad?

"Esteemed empress dowager, I don't mind if the child can be born after the emperor is crippled. I'm not sure either, the imperial physician said it's possible that there might be a small child at any time." Luo Xue couldn't stand the domineering 'bird look' of the empress dowager and purposefully said.

"How dare you! Are you protesting against me?" The empress dowager's expression changed as she spoke in a low voice.

"I am only speaking according to the Empress Dowager and Emperor's wishes." Luo Xue glanced at Helian Chen. Seeing that his expression changed, she did not immediately shut her mouth and instead continued to provoke him.

"Muhou, the empress isn't feeling well. Please don't bother with her." Helian Yi Chen immediately apologized to Her Majesty on behalf of Snow.

"Your majesty, This Dowager is teaching her how to be a wife. Just because Your majesty dotes on her, we can't lose our manners." The Empress Dowager spoke in a low voice.

"This son understands, but the empress is still young, there are many things …"

"Your majesty, you don't need to cover up for me. Our Situ Family has already been dealt with by your majesty, there's no need for me to do anything." Luo Xue saw that the Empress Dowager wanted to make things difficult for herself, so she added fuel to the fire.

As long as he didn't have the status of an empress, he wouldn't have any excuse to imprison her in the palace. It would be best if he could expel her from the palace, that would be the best he could hope for.

"You … Your majesty, do you still want to keep such a woman in the harem? " The Empress Dowager pointed at Luo Xue and said angrily.

"Imperial Mother, Xue'er is already pregnant with my blood and bones. I ask the empress dowager, on behalf of your grandson, not to bicker with the empress." Helian Yi clearly knew that Luo Xue had done it on purpose, so how could she really blame her? No matter how much he respected the Empress, at this time it was impossible to follow the Empress Dowager's wishes.

"So what if you're pregnant with a dragon embryo? Within this imperial harem, any woman must be pregnant. Your majesty, women cannot be spoiled. There is a testament for ancestors …"

When the Empress Mother saw that her son did not listen to her, she immediately moved out of the palace to recite her last words.

Xue'er won't have any improper thoughts, and at this moment, she's just a little temper of a pregnant woman. This son asks the imperial physician, and it's natural that a pregnant woman's emotions will be affected. Helian Yi Chen's words startled the Empress Dowager, and frightened her even more.

He actually said he would use his life to guarantee it, what right did he have to say that? She turned her back to them and thought: Don't think that I will forgive you for being your mother's cause, and you can't be blamed for saying that.

However, Helian Chen stepped forward to help her up. "Imperial Garden's Spring Flower has bloomed, Imperial Mother. It's really beautiful. How about this son and mother accompany Imperial Garden's mother to admire the flowers?" Seeing that the emperor's son intended to protect Luo Xue, the empress dowager felt even more uncomfortable. In the end, she wasn't born herself, so she didn't dare to criticize him too harshly. She followed Helian Chen's wishes and headed for the imperial garden.

"Esteemed Empress, the emperor really does love you. The emperor has never defied the empress dowager all this time, but today, for the sake of the empress, he actually talked back to the empress dowager. This was the last thing we had." After the emperor and empress dowager left, little Fu said quietly at the side.

"Little Fu, you're going to anger me too, right? Even if they don't like me, even if they don't like the members of our Situ Family, so be it. I don't care about this queen." When Luo Xue heard this, she said willfully.

Even if he did protect her today, that was what he should do. As a husband, he should always protect his wife, not to mention that she was pregnant with his child. Don't think that such a small matter would be able to offset the despicable act he had done.

"Esteemed Empress, don't say such things in the future. Not only is the emperor unhappy, but if news of this spreads to the empress dowager's ears, it'll be hard to avoid …"

"What words have reached the empress dowager's ears?" Little Fu didn't expect the emperor to return so quickly and kneel down to beg for forgiveness.

"You may leave, instruct the imperial kitchens to prepare some food for the empress. In addition, have them prepare some snacks and send it to the imperial garden." Helian Yi Chen said to little Fuzi.

"Did you send the empress dowager to the imperial garden to admire some welcoming flowers?" Luo Xue looked at Helian Xi Chen in shock. She realized that she was getting more and more confused about this half-human half-demon emperor.

"Not only the empress dowager, but also Yi Fei and the others. With them accompanying her, their moods will be a lot better, not to mention that they'll only choose the words the empress dowager likes and coax the empress dowager to be happy. It wouldn't be too good for Zhen to be there." Helian Chen sat on the side of the bed, looking at the stubborn face of Luo Xue as he shook his head helplessly.

"That's right, you're right. She's the empress dowager. All the concubines in the imperial harem gave her some bewitching soup. Only I talked back to her, so it's no wonder she wanted you to divorce me." Luo Xue snorted.

"Little girl, can you not be so thorny all over? The empress dowager originally doted on you, but only because of Situ Xiang did she vent her anger on you. Don't bother with the old man, it was all Zhen's fault this time, okay? " When Helian Yi saw the empress dowager come, her complexion was obviously better, and her mood was also much better.

"No, you're the emperor, she's the empress dowager, and I'm just a commoner. How could I dare to argue with you? If the emperor doesn't see you off, I'll ask you to leave, alright?" I want convenience. " Luo Xue glanced around at the palace maids. If she was not mistaken, these palace maids seemed to have come with the Empress Dowager. She did not dare to order them around, so she decided to do it herself.

"I'll hug you." Unexpectedly, the moment Luo Xue's hand touched the blanket, Helian Chen took the initiative to wash her face.

"I don't dare to trouble you, I will …" "Put me down …" The words of Luo Xue's refusal were still in her mouth when Helian Chen lifted her up into the air.

"No need. If you're really considerate, then please create a convenient toilet. I'm not used to using these things here, and it's very awkward." Luo Xue said very uncomfortably as she watched the eunuchs and maids carrying a bedpan.

"Toilet, do you mean 'latrine'? "That smell is too unpleasant. It would be indecent in the palace, and …" Because Helian Xi held Luo Xue, he naturally knew what she was thinking. Luo Xue's modern bathroom appearance clearly transmitted to Helian Xi Chen's mind. He couldn't help but be stunned.

"The latrine does smell a little bit, but if you want to build a convenient place in the palace, a clean bathroom shouldn't be too difficult. Moreover, you have my people in the palace, so isn't it more troublesome to use bedpans?" In the past, when Luo Xue was in the modern world, she had heard that there was no toilet in the old palace. After crossing over, after experiencing the inconvenience and awkwardness of using the toilet here, she even missed the modern bathroom, flush the toilet, and went out. It was still fine to have a latrine.
