Chapter 508: Let me raise the child
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor kneeling in front of her, feeling heartbroken.
She pointed at Mo Xiao and her voice trembled: "How could you...how could you bully a woman like this? She has a rough life and growing up has been very difficult. Why do you want to make it worse?"
As a woman, she understands this feeling all too well.
She was obviously married to the husband of her dreams, but she was targeted by the tyrant Mo Xiao, forcing her to make peace with her, and in the end she stayed away from the capital to protect herself.
The Queen Mother thought about it and felt extremely guilty for Lu Jiuqing.
Mo Xiao frowned and said in a deep voice: "I-I'm not humiliating her, I really love her, but... we always miss each other, and it's always inappropriate."
The Queen Mother couldn't believe the emperor's words; "If you hadn't forced and humiliated her, how could she have fled the capital?"
Mo Xiao: "..."
Mo Xiao didn't dare to say what he had done.
He pursed his lips: "Anyway, I'm serious."
"This child is my eldest son and will also be the future prince. As for her... I will personally bring her back after the incident in the capital is over."
The Queen Mother's eyes widened when she heard his sworn words: "It's like this, you still don't plan to let her go?"
"Mother, I said that I am sincere to her and I will be good to her." The queen said softly.
The Queen Mother sneered: "She is the last bloodline of the Lin family in this world. If you treat her badly, your master Quanxia Youzhi will definitely not forgive you."
Mo Xiao: "..."
The Queen Mother beat her and scolded her, and she knew in her heart what kind of virtue her son was, and no one could persuade him to do what he wanted to do. As for Lu Jiuqing...she will do her best to protect her and try not to let her be wronged.
At this time, the Queen Mother's eyes fell on the little guy in Mo Xiao's arms, and her heart melted for a moment.
This is her little grandson.
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand: "Give me a hug, baby."
Mo Xiao pursed his lips and handed the child to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took the child over and looked at it carefully. She loved the child even more: "It looks exactly like you did when you were a child."
The Queen Mother hugged and coaxed him for a while, then suddenly turned around and said to Mo Xiao: "Now that the harem is empty and there is no concubine or anything else who can help you take care of the child, just keep this little guy in my palace to raise."
It just so happened that she was free now, and it was fun to have her little grandchild by her side.
This was a normal request. Even if she didn't take the initiative to ask for it, the emperor would probably arrange it this way. After all, he was the only one in the palace who could help him take care of his children.
The Queen Mother hugged her little grandson with a smile in her eyes. She didn't bother to look at Mo Xiao anymore and turned around to leave.
Mo Xiao's expression changed. He walked over a few steps to stop the Queen Mother and said in a deep voice, "Mother, I will raise this child by myself."
The Queen Mother was stunned, as if she didn't understand the emperor's words: "What did you say?"
"I said, I will raise this child myself." Mo Xiao took advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother did not react, and reached out to hug the child back.
The Queen Mother looked at her empty hands, then at Mo Xiao, and finally her face darkened: "Nonsense!"
"You are busy with government affairs, how can you have the time and energy to take care of the child?" The Queen Mother disagreed and said in a deep voice, "If you really care about this child, then you can just take time to come to my palace every day to see it. Why put it in the palace?" Take care of him personally? Besides, there is no precedent in history for an emperor to personally raise a child."
