Chapter 6:
Princess Yong'an fell ill.
Being someone who easily gets angry, her excessive anger caused her liver to accumulate fire, making her prone to illness.
However, I intentionally provoked her emotions every day, making her either extremely happy or extremely angry.
As expected, after a long period of accumulation, it gradually harmed her body fundamentally, and this illness came fiercely, causing her to faint for three consecutive days.
The Emperor was anxious and left the pregnant Empress behind, staying by the princess's bedside every day.
On the third day, Princess Yong'an finally woke up, she rushed into the Emperor's palace and burst into tears.
"Brother Emperor, don't you care about Yong'an anymore? Why did you go to the Empress's palace..." Princess Yong'an cried with tears streaming down her face.
She was extremely beautiful, usually dressed up exquisitely and remarkably, but at this moment, she only wore a thin white undershirt, with fair skin.
Undoubtedly, she resembled a beauty causing a man's pity and desire to protect her.
The Emperor did feel sorry for her, he hugged Princess Yong'an and comforted her repeatedly.
"I have no feelings towards the Empress, but the country needs an heir, and the royal family needs descendants." Princess Yong'an couldn't understand at all, she kept repeating the oath the Emperor made when he was young.
"Brother Emperor, you clearly said that having Yong'an was enough, you said the world is vast, but you only need me..." The Emperor continued to comfort her patiently, but I observed coldly, and I could already see his patience diminishing bit by bit.
With the Emperor's ascension to the throne, these siblings had actually reached a turning point - the older brother took on the heavy burden of an emperor and had to consider many more things.
The younger sister, on the other hand, was protected and still had the heart of a child, so she only had the memories of their youth in her mind.
But those memories would eventually fade away.
The position of the princess in the Emperor's heart was no longer as unique as before.
I could sense it, and I believe Princess Yong'an could feel it in the depths of her heart as well.
But she was unwilling to accept it.
So she became even more determined to prove that the Emperor's favoritism towards her had not disappeared.
She began to compare herself with the Empress in every aspect.
If the Emperor bestowed something on the Empress, such as clothing or food, she also wanted it, and she wanted something even better.
If the Emperor spent a certain amount of time with the Empress, he should spend double that with her.
It could be seen that the Emperor was exhausted by this.
