"As for the kid in the cold palace, I hope he can seize the opportunity this time and stay away from that damn place."

If she said this again, she would be like a kind-hearted bodhisattva.

At night, Shen Zhishu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

I really didn't expect that the competition between King Shuo and King Qin would be so fierce in the harem, and it's a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

She was somewhat thankful that she was not a concubine, otherwise how would she sleep that night?

She seemed to be asleep, but she also felt half asleep and half awake. The horrific scenes she saw during the day kept flashing through her mind a thousand times more terrifyingly.

She even saw the ghosts with the most hideous faces rushing towards her like crazy, biting her bit by bit.

That night, she had nightmares.

So when the King of Qin came to see her, he saw that she looked tired, as if she had not slept well and looked sick.

"But does the wound hurt?"

These days, Yan Chu was actually still worried about her, but he kept telling himself that she was smart and considerate, so she should be fine.

But when they met and saw her like that, Yan Chu felt a little distressed.

"Why is the prince here?"

Shen Zhishu was also surprised by his appearance.

So when he stretched out his hand, she didn't pay attention and grabbed it naturally, and was reluctant to let go.

Yan Chu's heartache was aggravated by her pulling. The slender jade hand pressed against the back of his hand, which brought a chill, but it also stirred up waves in his heart.

"After attending court, I have time today to come and see you. I have the whole day."

The second half of the sentence came out of his mouth unintentionally. He was a little surprised after he finished speaking. Why did he explain it so clearly?

"Your Majesty."

Shen Zhishu understood the hidden meaning of his words, and called out to him in a tender voice. Because she had just woken up, her voice was still a little nasal, and she herself didn't know how soft the sound was.

Yan Chu subconsciously wanted to hug the person in his arms.

It was at this time that Xiaodie ran in.

"Master, it's time to wash up and go have breakfast with the Queen."

She was different from other maids. She started talking as soon as she entered the door.

After saying this, he saw Shen Zhishu lying on the bed.

Then I met Yan Chu again.

"This slave has met the prince."

She knelt down hurriedly. After all, no one told her that the prince was coming, and the two of them were so affectionate so early in the morning.

Is this... a bad relationship?

It doesn't look like it at all.

Shen Zhishu also let go of Yan Chu's hand somewhat embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, if the Queen could see you, she would definitely be very happy."

So it’s better to accompany the Queen now.

Yan Chu's emotions subsided very quickly, and after he stood up, there was no trace of the warmth he had just shown.

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the prince was doing that for others to see?

That shouldn't be the case. When someone came, he kept her at a distance.

Soon, Bitao also came in with some water.

Shen Zhishu put on his clothes and sat in the wheelchair, letting her do whatever she wanted.

When she went out, she was an elegant, dignified and very upright concubine, without any flaws to be seen.

Yan Chu just glanced at her indifferently, and then they walked to the main hall together.

Such Shen Zhishu didn't seem to attract him.

The Queen had just finished meeting with the concubines and had just arrived in the dining room when she saw Prince Qin and Shen Zhishu appear together.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and their auras are compatible. Such a combination is pleasing to the eye.

"The King of Qin is here."

The queen smiled gently and walked over.

Yan Chu stood up immediately, and Shen Zhishu noticed it and followed him to bow.

"We are a family, so there is no need for so many rules when we eat together. Please sit down. If I had known you were coming, I would have prepared your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake for you."

The queen had a loving look on her face.

Yan Chu was also very respectful.

They seemed to be a loving mother and a filial son, but Shen Zhishu felt that they were very unfamiliar with each other.

Then they ate and chatted about family matters.

Not a word was mentioned about the court. The King of Qin was concerned about her health and specially sent a lot of rare medicinal herbs, and also asked her to rest well.

The queen responded to every word he said, praising him for his filial piety and asking him to take good care of himself.

"Also, it's not that your mother is pushing you, you are not a child anymore. If there are other princes your age, they would have at least two or three children in their family. Shouldn't you consider taking over as an heir?"

Then it was the daily 'birth induction'.

When it came to this topic, Shen Zhishu unconsciously tightened his grip on his bowl and chopsticks.

She remembered the prince saying that there was no rush to have a baby now.

"Shu'er has mentioned it too. Once Shu'er's leg is healed, I will do my best."

She thought he would get away with it.

Who knows what it means so specifically?

She keeps mentioning "book" as if they have a very good relationship, and as if having children depends entirely on her?

Shen Zhishu was stunned.

But he soon realized that Yan Chu was probably thinking about Su Rong again.

Su Rong doesn't want to have children. If the Queen knew about this, she would probably be unhappy.

So he pushed everything onto herself. He seemed to dote on her and wanted to have a child with her, but in fact, she was Su Rong's shield?

So that's why you're putting on such a show now?

"Okay, okay, Zhishu is a good child. The child she gives birth to will definitely be smart and clever. I am waiting to hold our eldest grandson in my arms."

The queen was very satisfied with this answer, and her eyes were almost filled with smiles.

After dinner, they drank tea together. The queen wanted to take a nap, so they returned to the side hall.

Shen Zhishu thought that he had pushed herself out to protect Su Rong. If she couldn't get pregnant in the future, the Queen would only blame her. Wouldn't the good impression she had created these days be ruined?

She suddenly felt a little weak and a little bitter.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you didn't plan to have a child for the time being? If you hide this from the Queen Mother, she will be even more angry if you can't raise the child in the future."

Feeling annoyed, Shen Zhishu's tone was not very good, and he even walked in first.

This little action would never have happened in the past.

She is such a well-behaved person.

"You haven't even tried, how do you know you can't deliver it?"

"You won't say it? The princess doesn't want to..."

"I just made it clear to my mother that it's Shu'er's child. How could it be related to the princess?"

Yan Chu saw that she had misunderstood and explained with a frown.

So you're using her to take the blame for Su Rong, right?

Shen Zhishu gritted his teeth secretly. For the first time, he felt that he was so hateful, even more disheartening than when they first met.

I felt very upset.

"I do want to have a baby, but Your Majesty has to give me a chance. Otherwise, how can I have a child by myself?"

Shen Zhishu said viciously.

So you don't touch me and don't plan to have children with me. Can I be self-sufficient on my own?

Yan Chu was confused by what she said.

I never understood what she was thinking.

But what she meant was that she seemed to be blaming him for not favoring her enough and that he didn't work hard at all.

So, when Shen Zhishu glared at him with a look of resentment, Yan Chu's gaze became even softer.
