Qin Shuangchi held her hand and said, "He fainted, so he probably didn't see it."

"I'm wearing a mask, so it's okay if you see me."

"Besides, it's just a superficial wound, it won't cause any harm."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but move her body and rest her head on Qin Shuangchi's legs. "I'm not afraid that he will see you, I'm afraid of the emperor."

"We can't let him find out that our falling out is fake."

"He knew I hated you because of the Ling family, but he refused to let me divorce him. He was trying to put a knife by your pillow."

Qin Shuangchi's slightly rough fingers gently stroked her cheek, "I was the one who gave the order to the Ling family. Given your feelings for the Ling family, it's only natural that you hate me."

"That's enough to fool the Emperor."

At the beginning, he was also afraid of what would happen between them if Jiang Ningwan knew all this.

But from the moment Zhou Tingxu entered the mansion, he knew that this matter was unavoidable.

Rather than waiting for others to expose you, it is better to confess early.

So he deliberately prepared the evidence and let Zhou Tingxu get it.

All of this had already been discussed with Jiang Ningwan.

I told her the truth as well.

What shocked him was that Jiang Ningwan was very rational and immediately discussed with him a plan to turn against him.

So that the emperor can rest assured.

After all, if the crown prince is to be deposed, the third prince's power cannot be too strong. If the emperor wants to get rid of him, the third prince's power cannot be involved with him.

That's why Jiang Ningwan turned against him in order to stabilize the situation.

Qin Shuangchi suddenly looked at her again, "You really don't hate me?"

Jiang Ningwan's expression turned serious. "The Emperor ordered you to do those dirty things. Did you lie to me?"

"No."

"Then why should I hate you? It's not you that I should hate."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan saw Qin Shuangchi's affectionate and smiling eyes, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"Okay, read your documents."

"Rest early after watching."

Qin Shuangchi had no choice but to put down the document and looked at her with sparkling eyes. "How can I concentrate on reading when you're lying in my arms?"

"Then I won't lie down." Jiang Ningwan said and moved back to the pillow.

The next moment, Qin Shuangchi leaned over and pressed down, their noses lightly touching, love surging in his eyes, and the two held hands tightly.

The bed curtains fell, revealing two figures entangled tightly in the candlelight.

……

early morning.

The sunlight shines through the window, casting shadows on it.

The pear blossoms in the yard are in bloom, wafting a faint fragrance.

Jiang Ningwan was sleeping soundly in Qin Shuangchi's arms when suddenly footsteps were heard outside.

Xiao Lan shouted from outside the door, "Your Highness, that Zhou family member is trying to commit suicide again. He hit himself in the stomach and threatened to see Your Highness."

Jiang Ningwan woke up.

Qin Shuangchi noticed it and whispered, "I'll go take a look. You can sleep a little longer?"

Jiang Ningwan sat up first, "Let me go. She'll be even more restless if you go."

Just as Jiang Ningwan got out of bed, Qin Shuangchi grabbed her arm and took a look. It was so intense last night, but fortunately the wound didn't bleed.

"Then go ahead. I'll change your medicine when you come back later."

"Okay." Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips, immediately changed her clothes and walked out of the room.

Came to Zhou Tingxu's room.

She looked pale and her eyes were filled with despair.

Zhou Tingxu stood up anxiously, tugging at the chains, making a clanging sound. "Where's the prince? I want to see the prince!"

"Otherwise, don't even think about letting me give birth to this child!"

After Zhou Tingxu finished speaking, he began to beat his stomach.

The maid grabbed her in time.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't understand why she could still find a way to cause trouble even though someone was watching her.

She slowly sat down on the chair and crossed her legs. "Zhou Tingxu, if the child is gone, do you think I can let you go?"

"The Zhou family is in a difficult situation right now. No one cares about your life or death. No one will come to save you."

Zhou Tingxu struggled to his feet, tears streaming down his face as he said, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Jiang Ningwan smiled calmly, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"They sent you on such a dangerous mission without even considering your life or death. Your father has already brought Zhou Yu back to Beijing. He is the future of their Zhou family. You are just a pawn!"

Although Zhou Tingxu didn't want to believe it at the moment, the facts were right in front of him.

That's cruel.

Zhou Tingxu burst into tears.

Sitting weakly on the bed.

Is she just going to wait for death?

At this moment, Jiang Ningwan said again: "I can give you a way to survive."

"Now go tell the Emperor and admit that you framed the King of Chu on the Queen's orders and that this child is not his."

"Although this is a crime of deceiving the king, considering that you are pregnant, I will not execute you."

"The prince will plead for you and allow you to stay in the Prince Chu's mansion to take care of your pregnancy."

"But from now on, you must sever all ties with the Zhou family and obey the King of Chu in everything."

Hearing this, Zhou Tingxu's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't help you harm my family."

Jiang Ningwan was not in a hurry. "Take your time to think about it."

"I'm just sending a few more people to keep an eye on you. No matter how much you make a fuss, it won't help."

After saying that, she stood up and left the room.

Zhou Tingxu's desperate cry came from behind.

Jiang Ningwan also felt a little sad when hearing the heartbroken crying.

The Zhou family hadn't come to look for her for so long, and had no intention of saving her. Instead, they were completely focused on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is not even Zhou Lin's biological son, but he is also regarded as the future of the Zhou family. However, Zhou Lin's biological daughter Zhou Tingxu was abandoned.

When he returned to the room, Qin Shuangchi had already prepared the ointment and the table was full of food.

"Come here and apply the medicine." Qin Shuangchi opened the medicine bottle and cut off a long enough piece of gauze.

Jiang Ningwan took off her coat, sat forward, and rolled up her sleeves.

Qin Shuangchi carefully removed the gauze and re-applied medicine and bandage.

Jiang Ningwan was thinking about something, a little absent-minded.

"What are you thinking about? Is there any trouble with Zhou Tingxu's matter?" Qin Shuangchi asked.

She came to her senses and shook her head, "It's no trouble."

"I just feel a little sorry for her."

"The Zhou family hasn't thought of saving her for so long. She seems to have been treated as an abandoned child."

"If she wasn't a girl, perhaps the situation would be different."

Qin Shuangchi said in a deep voice: "It's not new that aristocratic families value men to carry on the family line and look down on women."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked up at him, "If our child was still alive, if it was a daughter, would you be partial?"

Qin Shuangchi chuckled and touched her head.

"You're actually thinking about this?"

"Having a child is something I dare not even dream of in my lifetime, so why would I care about the gender of the child?"

Jiang Ningwan raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"really!"

As he spoke, the wound on his arm had been bandaged and the sleeves were lowered, and Jiang Ningwan put on her clothes.

The two sat down to eat, and Jiang Ningwan began to think.

"Jiang Xi and I are like daughters, and Jiang Bingde will be partial to me. It's obvious that as long as you have two children, you can't avoid partiality."

"So I'll only have one child!"

"Do you have any opinion?"

Qin Shuangchi raised a smile on his lips, "I have no objection, I'll listen to you."

"Eat quickly."

Jiang Ningwan suddenly thought of something, "Come to think of it, why did you marry Jiang Xiru in the first place?"

Qin Shuangchi froze and immediately put down his chopsticks nervously.
