He sighed deeply, and the tired look on his face became more intense: "Shui Lian, I ascended the throne at the age of six, and have been the emperor for more than 20 years now. Everyone thinks that being an emperor is a good thing, rich in the world, and submissive to all directions.
However, in my opinion, being an emperor is the worst thing. Many times, you can’t help yourself..."
Just like war.
No matter how much you hate it, there is no way to avoid it.
Many times, you will be required to conduct the expedition yourself and pay a huge price.
If you ignore it, the consequences are sometimes unimaginable.
If he were an ordinary person, even an ordinary mortal, he would not have such troubles. At least, he would not have to worry that the country would perish because of this - because the country is not his.
However, an emperor has to worry about it every day.
Even keeping a pregnant wife safe until she gives birth has become a luxury.
At this time, he was really in a kind of battle between heaven and man. Should he go or not? For the sake of the overall war, or for the safety of his wife and son?
The fear in Shui Lian's heart gradually deepened.
Suddenly she wanted to blurt out "Don't go, don't go" - this was her true inner thought. However, when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She knew that she must not say this.
Once he said it, it would definitely cause him even greater confusion.
She just stayed with him for a while, then slowly stood up and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Your Majesty, please take a sip."
He was holding hot tea and looked a little confused: "Shui Lian, I don't know why, but this time, I really don't want to go on a personal expedition..."
She laughed and said, "Your Majesty, if you really don't want to go, then don't force yourself."
He also stood up, walked around with his hands behind his back.
If you don't have to go, where will there be any troubles in this world?
Shui Lian naturally knew this truth, so her comforting smile seemed very forced.
That night, neither of them slept soundly, and they were tossing and turning.
At midnight, the emperor could not bear it anymore and sat up.
Shui Lian also opened her eyes: "Your Majesty, can't you sleep?"
"Oh, Shui Lian, I really want to stay at home and watch the baby be born..."
Even without lighting the lamp, Shui Lian could feel the extreme tiredness and haggardness on his face. At this time, she made up her mind: "Your Majesty, you can conquer it yourself."
