Chapter 365: Concerns as a Father
Shen Shaodong knew clearly that the past events Shen Li described might still contain some details that had not been revealed.
But even so, from her words, one can already roughly outline what happened in the Xiqi Palace.
He knew very well that under the shadow of the supreme imperial power, once a member of the royal family began to desire possession of a woman, the outcome that woman would face would generally be two completely different paths: either she would meekly submit to the manipulation of fate, or she would rush into the abyss of death in misery and despair.
Fortunately, my daughter has extraordinary opportunities and circumstances, and she has a mysterious master who silently protects her.
If not, I dare not think about what kind of terrible misfortune my daughter would have fallen into during this thrilling journey to the Xiqi Palace. The consequences are so horrifying and unimaginable!
The more Shen Shaodong thought about it, the angrier he became, with anger surging in his chest like a tide.
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if only in this way could he slightly alleviate the unspeakable pain and anger deep in his heart.
He lowered his head and stared at his precious daughter who had fallen asleep in his arms from crying herself tired. Her tender and haggard face made his heart feel as if it were being pierced by thousands of needles at the same time. For a moment, he felt his heart was filled with melancholy and repression, as if there was a breath of evil that was difficult to dissipate and was blocking his chest.
It was the deep resentment of being a father who was unable to protect his daughter, and the strong self-blame for his own incompetence. These two emotions intertwined and surged in his heart like a raging storm, almost completely engulfing his sanity.
However, as time passed, the Emperor of Xiqi still shamelessly sent his son to his daughter again, continuing to harbor evil intentions towards her, staring at her like a hungry wolf!
Whenever Shen Shaodong thought of Lichen Emperor Luo Lingchen, a young man who also came from the 21st century, he felt that his actions were truly despicable.
When they met for the first time, this kid was so shameless that he called himself "father-in-law" without any scruples. His shamelessness was beyond ordinary people's imagination and it was astonishing.
However, after calming down and thinking carefully, compared with people like Nangong Qi and Su Ran, Shen Shaodong had to admit that if he really wanted to choose a lifelong partner for his daughter, Luo Lingchen seemed to have a slight advantage in some aspects.
After all, this boy had solemnly promised herself that in the future, only her daughter would be by his side, and he would never take any concubines. He would give her unique love and cherishment.
But as soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Shen Shaodong instantly fell into a quagmire of deep worry and couldn't extricate himself.
Luo Lingchen is now the king of a country and is at the center of the vortex of power. How can he, alone, fully control and decide on matters of marriage and promises?
Even if he was truly keeping this promise at this moment, the situation in the court was turbulent and unpredictable, with various forces intertwined and fighting against each other.
In order to stabilize the government and the country, how could those pedantic, conservative and stubborn ministers easily compromise and let this matter go?
They will certainly try their best and use all the tricks they can to force the emperor to follow the ancestral system and expand his harem in order to continue the royal bloodline and maintain the so-called stability of the court.
Shen Shaodong slowly raised his hand and gently rubbed his swollen and aching temple. He felt the headache getting more intense, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his head.
He once again cast his gaze at his daughter who was sleeping soundly, and saw that there were still traces of tears on her face. Her pitiful appearance made his heart melt.
His heart was filled with love and reluctance for his daughter at this moment. Looking at his daughter's beautiful face, the more he looked, the more he felt that no boy in the world could compare with his daughter, and no one was worthy of standing by her side and walking through life with her.
Shen Shaodong took a deep breath, trying to use the fresh air to slowly calm his chaotic mind.
At this moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, and his daughter's mysterious and wonderful space emerged.
When he thought of this, he felt relieved and thought to himself: Since my daughter has such unique opportunities and abilities, I don't have to worry too much even if that brat dares to bully her in the future.
At worst, I could just let my daughter divorce him and leave that troubled place! My daughter is so outstanding, intelligent and smart, like the brightest star in the night sky, so why should I worry about not finding a suitable husband?
If this doesn't work, then decisively look for someone else! Anyway, just like in the 21st century, I adhere to the firm belief that only life can accommodate me, and I will never compromise life.
At this moment, Shen Li was still completely in the dark. She had no idea that her father, who looked young but was actually worried about her lifelong affairs, had already racked his brains and put a lot of thought into choosing her future partner.
Even the way out for her to choose divorce if she encounters misfortune or is unhappy in her marriage has been arranged carefully and meticulously by her father, who only hopes that his daughter can have a smooth and happy life.
