"On that day, there was a fire in the Anle Palace. Before she died, Concubine Ru asked me to pass on a message to you, telling you to stay away from the palace and not get involved in the struggle for the throne. Now it seems that it is no longer necessary."
Zijin's voice was as firm and clear as her steps:
"I think you should already know who Concubine Ru is."
"Yes, I know very well that Concubine Ru is my biological mother.
But why didn't you say this before and why did you say it now?
You are trying to use the matter of my biological mother to drive a wedge between me and my wife,
Don't you just want to take advantage of this to make us disagree and make me give up my plan?
What are you saying now, ‘Don’t get involved in the struggle for the throne’?
Is this really what Concubine Ru asked you to tell me that day?
You said it because of that sick man, you know it in your heart."
Zijin was shocked on the spot by Yuchen's words.
There was a strong rush of air from her stomach,
She wanted to rush over and slap him hard,
Wake up this man who has been blinded by the throne.
But Zijin suddenly felt that it was not necessary.
It feels like nothing is necessary anymore.
Now, for his plan, he would even kill the child in his belly.
What kind of favor or affection can he express to her?
Forget it……
It really doesn't matter anymore.
"snort"!
Zijin snorted coldly and took steps again,
This time, she left more firmly and without hesitation.
The kindness is broken,
From now on, you will be your rebellious minister and traitor,
I will be my ninth concubine, Shuyi, and you and I will have nothing to do with each other until death.
Staring at Zijin’s figure walking further and further away,
Yuchen punched the tree trunk next to him.
Fallen leaves rustled down, covering his trembling shoulders.
In the darkness, a weak but stubborn figure slowly walked out,
Approaching Yuchen, he stretched out his hand to touch Yuchen's shoulder...
