The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Chapter 115 Huo Shurou's Purpose for Entering the Palace...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Shen Jingli's words completely confused Huo Shurou. How could such words be said in public?

At this moment, her heart sank. Not only was her husband gay, he was also impotent...! ?

From now on, won’t it be even more difficult to consummate the marriage?

Seeing Huo Shurou in a daze, Shen Jingli quickly said to her maid, "Hey, you, take the imperial concubine back to Yanxi Palace."

Huo Shurou left with the help of her maid Diancui. Shen Jingli felt relieved when he saw the imperial concubine leaving. "Ah... what a bad fate!"

"..."

---

Inside the Yanxi Palace.

As soon as Huo Shurou returned to the palace, she sat in a chair in a daze. At this moment, her face was filled with sorrow and she was exhausted.

……

"Empress, the Grand Tutor is here." Diancui's message broke the desolate atmosphere.

Huo Shurou tidied her appearance and said, "Please come in."

Huo Shurou was delighted when she saw Grand Tutor Huo Hongxuan, and immediately stood up to greet him: "Daddy... you are finally here."

Although Huo Shurou violated the rules, Huo Hongxuan did not dare to be careless. He saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you."

Huo Shurou hurriedly stopped him: "Daddy, please get up quickly. Your daughter can't bear it anymore."

Huo Hongxuan reminded: "Your Highness is now the Emperor's concubine, and you need to behave properly. If you give yourself up to criticism, it will only bring shame to the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

After hearing this, Huo Shurou had no choice but to let go of her hand, and Huo Hongxuan knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Daddy taught me this, please sit down."

Huo Hongxuan did not stand up, but lowered his head: "Your Majesty, you are joking. How dare this old minister teach you a lesson?"

"..."

Huo Hongxuan gave Huo Shurou a wink, then looked meaningfully at the eunuchs and palace maids serving beside them.

Huo Shurou understood what he meant. "You all go down. I want to have a private talk with my father."

"Yes." The maids and eunuchs retreated one after another.

As soon as the servants left, Huo Shurou couldn't help but express her grievances, "Daddy...I am useless...I have failed your expectations."

"Rou'er, you are too young and inexperienced." Seeing that the maids and eunuchs had left, Huo Hongxuan no longer had the caution he had just shown and walked straight to the chair and sat down.

Huo Shurou choked up and said, "Daddy...you don't know, the emperor...he is useless..."

"Expected."

Huo Hongxuan was not surprised when he heard Huo Shurou say that the emperor was useless, because in his eyes, Shen Jingli looked... not so good.

"My daughter really has no more hope..." After saying this, she went back to wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Huo Hongxuan's expression changed, and he said in an unhappy tone: "As the daughter of the Grand Master, is this all you can do? If Cai Rong were in the situation, she would definitely not resign herself to her fate and compromise like you have."

Hearing Huo Cairong's name, Huo Shurou clenched her fists, a trace of unwillingness surged in her heart: "In my father's eyes... Sister Cairong is naturally the best, but it's a pity that it's not my sister who entered the palace, which makes my father disappointed..."

"After all, Cairong is not the wife's daughter. It won't be easy for her to become a concubine. This is why your father planned to let you enter the palace."

Huo Shurou sniffed: "Sister Cairong is both good-looking and virtuous, so there will naturally be something better waiting for her..."

"Rou'er, don't forget your primary mission in the palace. If you need any help, just tell me. The whole Grand Tutor's Mansion will fully cooperate."

Of course, she did not forget her mission. She wanted to become the queen and give birth to a legitimate prince.

Her father told her that the emperor was useless and the queen's position was vacant, and if she gave birth to a prince, there was a high chance that she would become the queen.

Although the emperor is a puppet, the regent does not seem to have any intention of replacing him. Since Dayuan is still nominally ruled by the Shen family, then... the empty title of queen can play its greatest role.

The main reason why Huo Shurou was willing to sacrifice her happiness for the rest of her life and enter the palace was because of her stupid brother Huo Luan.

Her brother, who was as strong as an ox and a little bit stupid, got drunk at the Jiuzhou banquet and accidentally raped the late emperor's concubine Xian...

Insulting the concubines of the previous emperor is a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of the clan!

Although those who knew about this matter have been controlled now, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and this matter will definitely be exposed one day.

Huo Hongxuan told her that the best way to avoid implicate everyone in the Grand Tutor's Mansion was to become the emperor's concubine and give birth to a child.

If the matter is exposed in the future, perhaps the crime of executing the entire Tai Shi Mansion will be pardoned because of the merits of his descendants.

"Daddy, the emperor...he...is unable to do it..."

After Huo Shurou finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly. After all, she was still a virgin and some things were difficult to say openly.

Huo Hongxuan also guessed what was going on. He sighed heavily, "Hey, from what I see, he's a worthless guy!!"

“Dad…Dad…?” The Grand Tutor’s words were too blunt and Huo Shurou blushed immediately.

Huo Hongxuan shook his head helplessly: "I am the one who made a mistake. Your mother is here too. You can talk to her."

Knowing that Zhong Yuehua had also come to the Yanxi Palace, Huo Shurou's face lit up with joy, "My mother is here too? Where is she?"

At this moment, Diancui came in and reported, "Madam, the Madam is here and is waiting outside the palace."

"Please come in quickly."

Huo Hongxuan stood up and prepared to leave. "You should have a good talk with your mother. Your father will go first."

"Okay, Daddy, take care."

Huo Hongxuan took two steps and turned back to warn, "Rou'er, you are the only one I have. You are my only hope and the only hope of the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

"Don't worry, father. Your daughter will live up to your expectations..."

……

At the gate of the Yanx Palace, Mrs. Zhong Yuehua, the wife of the Grand Tutor, walked over slowly. After exchanging a glance with the Grand Tutor, she entered the Yanx Palace.

"Mother...you're finally here." Huo Shurou rushed into Zhong Yuehua's arms.

"Rou'er, I'm sorry for putting you through this period of time." Zhong Yuehua patted the back of the person in her arms and comforted her softly.

"I don't feel wronged. My father and mother care about me. I don't feel wronged..."

"Child, let's sit down and talk." After saying that, she took Huo Shurou's hand and sat on the chaise longue.

After sitting down, Huo Shurou couldn't wait to inquire about Huo Cairong's recent situation, "Mother, are they doing well at home?"

"Eh…"

“Eh…” Zhong Yuehua just sighed and said nothing.

Huo Shurou asked anxiously, "Why is mother sighing repeatedly? Is it because she is being bullied in the mansion?"

Zhong Yuehua shook her head helplessly: "Your father used to respect me, but now... his attitude towards me is becoming more and more indifferent..."

Hearing Zhong Yuehua's complaint, Huo Shurou looked nervous, "How could this happen? Mother is the legal wife after all."

"Ever since your brother got into that incident, your father has been afraid of being implicated and has been unable to sleep or eat. I can also clearly feel that your father has changed. He has been holding back a lot of anger."

"He is complaining about my poor discipline..."

Zhong Yuehua took a sip of tea and continued, "I had an argument with your father the other day, and he got so angry that he took a concubine. It would have been fine if he had taken a concubine, but he took a prostitute, too. Isn't this an insult to me, your mother?"
