"Zong Zhengjin's words were cut off by her before he could finish speaking. 'Why must Your Majesty deceive me?' "

  Her voice was soft and gentle, yet it made Zong Zhengjin speechless. He couldn't pursue her disrespect no matter what. His heart felt stifled and uncomfortable. He reached out to hug her and put her on his lap.

  "When have I ever deceived you? I will definitely keep you safe, don't worry. Just take good care of your pregnancy and let me handle the rest."

  Zong Zhengjin's tone was affirmative, his face serious and sincere beyond compare.

  "Really?" Su Jing choked back tears

  "I really promise" Zong Zhengjin said with his thumb gently stroking her eye socket as they looked into each other's eyes.

  "Your Majesty, may I ask you to grant me one thing?"

  "Absolutely not." Zong Zhengjin's tone suddenly turned cold and his face was unpleasant.

  Su Jingxiang however, mustered up the courage to persist and said "If something were to happen to me, Your Majesty must promise me that you will raise this child well. If it's a girl, Your Majesty must marry her off to a good family so she won't be bullied. If it's a boy, then let him find his own wife, there's no need for him to stay in the capital and become an official or noble. Let him roam the four seas and make his own way."

  Su Jing actually thought that if she really had an accident, leaving this child behind might allow him to replace her and live on, and be better suited to this era.

  Without her, he would have a hard time living, but if one day she could grow up and become an adult, she hoped that the girl could have a good home to return to, rather than being with relatives. The future was hers to decide, as long as she was smart enough, there would be no worries about her life.

  If it's a boy, then it would be somewhat difficult to manage, always worried that someone would plot against him. But if she wasn't there, he could only rely on himself. If he was lucky enough to grow up, then the four seas would be his home and he could travel freely in all directions, which is better than staying in the capital as a hostage, where even the slightest movement would bring about deadly danger.

  "I said I won't agree with you" Zong Zhengjin didn't bother to distinguish what kind of feeling was in her heart, she raised her chin and spoke in a bad tone.

  "But is this also the last request that cannot be granted by Your Majesty?" Su Jing's eyes were welling up with tears, if she was no longer around, how could the child she had risked her life to protect survive in the palace?

  Zong Zhengjin sighed and slowed down his tone "Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"

  "Your Majesty had promised me earlier," Su Jing said with a determined look on her face. If he couldn't promise her now, she really wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

  Zong Zhengjin frowned, "I said I won't agree and that's it. You take care of your own child yourself. If you're not around, this child is no longer my concern. I won't care about his life or death."

  So you must live well

  You are alive, I am willing to make the greatest effort to pamper this child. If it's a girl, I will hold her in my heart and palms, as a precious gem, give her the best, let her live freely and follow her heart's desires.

  If it's a boy, he will personally teach him the Four Books and Five Classics, the art of ruling, strategy, horseback riding, archery, and in the future, let him inherit the throne, making him the most powerful person in this world. Even if he can't live as he pleases, at least he'll have the right to live.

  But if she's no longer there, such a child would see her shadow in him every day, and he wouldn't even want to think about it.

  "How can you be like this? That's also your child!" Su Jing couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, tears streaming down her face.

  How can he be so cruel and indifferent?

  Zong Zhengjin ignored the accusation in her eyes and pretended not to see it. "I am like this, you have always known that if you are prepared for the unexpected things that will happen to you, then your plans are unnecessary. I won't agree with you nor cooperate with you."

  If you're gone, then what's the point of me living alone and taking care of the child we expected and nurtured together?

  Suddenly he was startled in his heart, thinking that back then when his mother queen went to his father emperor, wasn't it also like this?

  "For now, I'll put aside these feelings and gently wipe away her tears. 'So, you have to live well, you must live well.'"

  "I will live well, I must live well" Su Jing didn't look at him as he muttered to himself with his head hung low.

  Since she was willing to risk her life to give birth to this child, why can't she live a good life and raise the child to adulthood?

  Zong Zhengjin knew that she must have some resentment towards him in her heart, but for now, he would just pretend not to know. If the time came when he could use this resentment to his advantage and make a desperate move, then it would be worth it.

  He will find ways to make up for the "injustice" he suffered afterwards.

  Su Jing pouted even though she knew he was doing it for her own good, regardless of whether what he said was true or not. However, at this moment, she still couldn't calm down and accept everything.

  His non-cooperation left her no way to force him to agree and even less guarantee that he would actually do it, but so be it if he didn't cooperate.

  One still has to rely on oneself in life

  "I'm hungry" Su Jingfan raised her head, a pair of peach blossom eyes that had just been washed by water droplets looked exceptionally bright "I want to eat something now"

  Zong Zhengjin's clear eyes seemed to hold no emotions, yet they seemed to hold everything. He said in a low voice, "Then let's have dinner."

  After lunch, the two of them chatted as usual in a peaceful atmosphere. Before long, Zong Zhengjin returned to the Zi Chen Palace.

  Su Jingxiang and several others entered the inner chamber and sat on the couch. "Mumu, tell me the truth, what are the chances of a smooth delivery based on your experience?"

  Xia Momo's heart skipped a beat, and after thinking for a moment, she was about to say the words that had been on her mind for a long time when she heard the gentle voice of Shang coming from above, saying a few sentences that made her break out in cold sweat.

  "Mei Mei, now that you are already a person of the Guan Yun Palace, I hope you can still remember who your true master is. Even if you managed to deceive me for a short while, after several months, everything will be clear. At that time, if something were to happen to me, do you think you would still be able to remain safe and sound?"

  Xia Momo didn't dare to gloss over it anymore, even though the emperor had sent someone to make arrangements beforehand. At this time, she didn't dare to pretend to obey and secretly defy, hastily kneeling on the ground "Begging Your Majesty for forgiveness"

  "This palace can forgive what sin, willing to live however is one's own choice" Su Jing's face was smiling but the people beside her couldn't feel a hint of warmth.

  "The princess is still young and her body hasn't fully developed, but if it were someone else, it would be fine. However, the princess has always been healthy and the fetus is well-nourished, so as long as there are no complications, a smooth delivery is possible, it's just that she will suffer more than ordinary people."

  "What are the chances" Su Jing didn't seem completely satisfied with her answer and asked instead

  Xia Mu thought for a moment, "At most five, but even if it's not a smooth delivery, it doesn't mean that the mother will have an accident."

  Su Jing took a deep breath "I know what happened today. If anyone asks you, just pretend you don't know. I won't say anything."

  Everyone present knew who was being referred to. The last sentence meant that as long as she herself didn't know, she wouldn't be punished for the matter.

  "Summer, her face revealed a grateful expression. It's not easy being a slave like her who wants to please both sides. Now that the princess has considered her, she should naturally be grateful. 'Thank you, Your Highness'."

  "Go out first." Su Jing waved her hand "You all go out and let me be alone for a while."

  "Yes" Listening to Yao and others showing concern on their faces but not daring to stay here any longer, it's better to let the princess have some peace.

  Su Jing lay on the couch with her eyes closed, but her heart was still restless and uneasy.

  Obviously five five is not enough for her

  If she had thought before that she might encounter some mishap and then return to her original world or go to another world, it would have been fine. But after the very unfriendly conversation with him, how could she be at ease?

  At the age of fifteen, she has already begun to bear children. This is an age that should be as beautiful as a flower. How can she bear to give up such a young and vibrant life that has just begun?

  How could it have come to this? Which of these things - the child, the husband, or the favored position - can be easily handed over to someone else?

  No matter what she had to live on for the remaining 50%

  Zong Zhengjin returned to the Zichen Palace and dismissed a group of palace servants. He stood alone by the window, gazing out at the azure sky outside. Occasionally, a few unknown small birds flew by, leaving no trace behind.

  His mother passed away when he was only three years old. Now it has been more than twenty years, and many memories have become blurred.

  The only thing that can make his memory vivid is that since the death of his mother, his father has never been kind to him and every time they meet, he has always been indifferent to him.

  He had hated and resented him before, but even now he couldn't bring himself to feel emotional about that kind of man. Every time he thought about it, he felt indignant for himself and the queen mother.

  But is it really what I thought? Is it really my fault?

  "Susun Xianxuan Mengwen Tian Ru Gong"

  Su Shun Xian stood at the gate of the hall and heard the voice, hastily responding "It's this humble servant, I'll go take care of it now"

  A small bird flew and landed on the windowsill, raised its head to face him, hopping and jumping around on the windowsill, playing happily. Zong Zhengjin gently shook his head and turned to walk away. Immediately, the little bird seemed to be frightened and also spread its wings to fly away.

  No resentment no hatred can regain one's original heart
