Ning Chen's expression was not a pleasant one.

Because in the woman emperor's plan he was just a tool.

She had drugged him and stolen the seed for two reasons. First, she coveted his blood, and wanted to leave the Wu Kingdom a capable sovereign in time to come.

Second, with the child as a hold over him, he would help her destroy Song Tiancheng.

Ning Chen looked at Silence. "How exactly does your mistress want me to help her?"

"A moment, marquis."

Silence got up and went into the inner room, and came back before long with a letter, which he handed to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen asked nothing further. He opened it and read.

Fuck!!!

That dog of a woman. Not only mad, but hard enough for anything.

The woman emperor's plan was very simple, and very mad.

She wanted Ning Chen to lead the hundred and some thousand men of the frontier straight at the Wu Kingdom's border, and she would find a way to get Song Tiancheng to march out at the head of an army.

Once Song Tiancheng had taken the field, she would drown every one of his factions in blood behind him.

Then, on the pretext of coming to his support, she would take Song Tiancheng's forces between herself and Ning Chen and wipe them out entirely.

What angered Ning Chen most was that this dog of a woman actually dared to threaten him... saying that she was not showing yet, but in another month or two her pregnancy could not be hidden.

Once Song Tiancheng found out, he would certainly pass the matter to the emperor of Great Xuan.

She also said Song Tiancheng might have caught the scent of it already, and told him to prepare early.

Above all the last line: Ning, dear, would not want to see our child die in the womb, would he?

Fuck!!!

The muscle at the corner of Ning Chen's eye jumped with rage.

Our child now, is it? Did you notify me when you were stealing my seed?

And on top of that, this…
