"This, this..." Qi Ling was stunned and said, "This, child, where am I supposed to find you a child? This..."
"Oh dear, are you pretending to be confused?!" Xue Ke said angrily, "This child is naturally mine to give birth to! You just need to take responsibility and have the baby with me!"
"Huh? With you..." Qi Ling finally understood Xue Ke's meaning and couldn't help but say, "But, Xue Ke, why do you suddenly want a child?"
Xue Ke blushed and said, "Well... it's nothing, it's just that the court officials keep urging me to have an heir, since the royal family always needs someone to inherit the throne."
"Besides, I remember you once said, teacher, that you have Dragon Clan blood, so your fertility rate is extremely low. So naturally, we should start earlier! The more we do it, the higher the chances will be, right?"
"Ah, that... that's true, but..." Qi Ling couldn't help but say, "It doesn't seem to make sense. How can we sacrifice everything just to have a child..."
"Oh dear! Teacher, you're being so fussy!" Xue Ke exclaimed, then rushed to Qi Ling's side and said, "Teacher, I like you, no, I love you! So I want your child, is that alright?"
Faced with Xue Ke's sincere confession, Qi Ling was perfectly clear about her feelings. However, he had just said that a teacher for a day is a father for life, and now Xue Ke was suddenly confessing to him so directly. Wasn't that a little strange?
Xue Ke continued, "Of course, teacher, I know the chances are still too low, so let's act now without delay."
Seeing Xue Ke's enthusiastic expression, as if she was planning to take action right away, Qi Ling couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of an empress, her ability to act is truly remarkable."
"Wait, Xue Ke, I know you're in a hurry, but there's no need to be in such a rush!" Qi Ling said helplessly. "This is the palace, and it's where you meet with your ministers. Even if we're going to do it, we can find another place."
But Xue Ke laughed and said, "Hehe, teacher, I asked Sister Dragon Maiden Girl before! She said that what men like most is to conquer the noblest woman, and if you want to make you comfortable, teacher, this is the best place."
"Although I don't know the underlying principle, Sister Dragon Maiden Girl knows far more than I do, so what she says must make sense! Therefore, teacher, let's stay here."
Upon hearing that it was the Dragon Maiden's idea, Qi Ling speechless for a moment, but at the same time, he couldn't help but admire her. This girl really understands people's hearts!
Indeed, the thought of conquering an empress to whom all submit is incredibly exciting, and this sense of disparity can greatly satisfy a man's psychological desires.
Moreover, the place that the Dragon Maiden taught Xue Ke to choose was the very throne where Xue Ke faced all the civil and military officials every day! The thought of conquering an empress in such a place was indeed an irresistible temptation for any man.
Qi Ling naturally couldn't refuse. Moreover, seeing Xue Ke's flushed face and aroused expression, it would be a problem if Qi Ling could still resist.
So soon, one garment after another appeared on the back of the throne.
As for the area around the palace, it had long been designated as a forbidden zone. Xue Ke had previously ordered that no one was allowed to approach unless it was a matter of national or racial extinction! With Qi Ling present, such a thing obviously wouldn't happen.
The only people who could get close to this place were Xue Ke's closest maids. When they heard the sounds coming from inside, they naturally knew what was happening inside, and they couldn't help but blush and their hearts pounded with embarrassment.
Qi Ling, holding Xue Ke in her arms, said with a smile, " Xue Ke, how are you going to face those people?"
Xue Ke laughed and said, "It's okay, this way I won't be so bored, and I can think of you."
"So, you'd better keep up the good work."
Qi Ling never expected that she would be flirted with by this little girl. It seems her skills have greatly improved! However, she can only show off her prowess verbally. Qi Ling's bravery is something even Bibi Dong couldn't handle. How long could Xue Ke's delicate body last?
So in the end, when everything cleared up, Qi Ling held Xue Ke in her arms.
Xue Ke lay weakly in Qi Ling's arms and said, "This should allow me to conceive your child, right?"
Qi Ling then said, "Well, I'm afraid that won't work. With the Dragon Clan's birth rate, there are cases where they don't have children for hundreds or even tens of thousands of years. Although that's mostly due to female Dragon Clan, it's true that the Dragon Clan has a low birth rate."
"Oh? Is that so? That's really bad." Xue Ke forced herself to stay alert.
Seeing Xue Ke forcing herself to stay focused, Qi Ling was taken aback. This girl was really giving it her all!
It wasn't until dusk that the two of them emerged from the palace under the watchful eyes of the palace maids and went to have dinner together. Because Xue Ke had difficulty moving around, Qi Ling had to carry her the whole time.
"Honestly, you! How are you going to face the court officials tomorrow if you act like this?" Qi Ling said helplessly.
Nestled in Qi Ling's arms, Xue Ke couldn't help but laugh, "Oh dear, teacher, the palace won't be in any trouble without me for a day! Since I have such a rare opportunity, of course I want to keep you company!"
"You? You're like this, how can you still manage?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask. Xue Ke's current state really didn't seem like she was alright.
Xue Ke laughed and said, "Of course it can be done! Besides, I know you have a way, don't you? Sister Dragon Maiden Girl said you're the best at treating this kind of injury!"
"I... I don't have that much experience! How could I possibly have that much experience!" Qi Ling said dejectedly. "She's slandering me! She's slandering me!"
