After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Gu Jin was stunned. She didn't expect that Mu Zhen, the crown prince, would say these to her.

"But you can go find Xie Ran for this matter."

Xie Ran is not a member of the Jiang family, and Prince Yu is eyeing Xie Ran covetously, so Xie Ran will not support Prince Yu.

But Mu Zhen shook his head, "I just said it, I only believe you, not Xie Ran."

Seeing the suspicion in Gu Jin's eyes, Mu Zhen said calmly: "Xie Ran has strategy and courage, but he is loyal to his father and worships power. You should know this better than me, right?"

Gu Jin concealed his eyes and said nothing.

She had always thought that she and Xie Ran were on the same side, until this time she realized that they were from two different worlds.

He was born under imperial power and valued the overall situation and family interests, but as a modern person, she only cared about herself and the people around her.

Neither of them was wrong, and each of them made the decision that he thought was the right one.

It’s just that for some things, different standpoints will lead to different moods.

“I know that you value relationships the most, so looking at the entire capital, I only dare to entrust Wei’er and her son to you.

A few days ago, I met the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Although she was not wearing fancy clothes, she was more lively and vivid than before. Wei'er can make friends like you. I think she will live happily after I leave."

Gu Jin neither agreed nor refused, but Mu Zhen knew that she was moved.

He did not stay any longer and politely took his leave, but after he got on the carriage, he no longer had the warmth and gentleness he had just shown.

Whether it is Xie Ran or Prince Yu, they are both equally disgusting.

Prince Yu has rights that he has never had, while Xie Ran is the only one who is favored by his father.

They shouldn't take what he can't have!

Mu Zhen went all the way back to the East Palace. When she opened the door, she saw Xue Wei sitting in front of the couch doing embroidery.

The sinisterness in his eyes faded away, and a hint of sincere tenderness appeared in his eyes.

They met when they were young and fell in love with each other, but he knew his body well so he always rejected Xue Wei's feelings.

But she didn't expect that she would actually beg her mother for help, even though she knew that she could only be his wife for a few years, she was willing to do so.

Perhaps this is the greatest blessing in his life.

"What are you embroidering for me again?" Mu Zhen put his arms around Xue Wei from behind, and the two of them looked like an ordinary young couple.

Xue Wei turned her eyes and looked at him with sparkling eyes, and said with a curved lip: "I'm embroidering a bellyband for our children."

A strange look flashed in Mu Zhen's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "You are skillful, and everything you do looks good."

Xue Wei's face was filled with happiness and joy. She reached out and touched her still flat belly, leaning on Mu Zhen's arms, "But can't we really tell Mother? She will definitely be happy if she knows."

"I'm sorry, Wei'er. It's my fault that I can't protect you. I can only let you suffer this injustice."

Xue Wei quickly put down her needlework after hearing this, her heart full of pity, "Your Highness, please don't say that. I know it's not easy for you, and you are doing this to protect me and the child."

Mu Zhen held Xue Wei in his arms and lowered his eyes deeply, "Wei'er, what else could a husband ask for with a wife like this?"

It’s a pity that he will never have children in this life.

After he gets rid of those annoying people, he will personally adopt a child for Wei'er so that Wei'er will have someone to rely on after he dies.

When Gu Jinfang returned to the Marquis of Qingyun's Mansion, he ran into Xie Ran at the door. She had been living in the guest house with Jiang Fengqi for some time. Seeing her getting up to leave, Xie Ran hurriedly called her to stop.

"The royal hunting will begin in a few days, and Achen will also go. Would you... like to go with me?"
