Chapter 99 I Don’t Want It

Gu Jingchun looked at Shen Hechuan's gloomy face and couldn't help but sigh.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need for her to hide anything anymore, so she just tells him everything she is thinking.

"Because I don't want Xier and I to be in danger."

Shen Hechuan chuckled.

"Danger?"

"Do you know that the position of the eldest grandson is something that many people only dream of but cannot obtain?"

Gu Jingchun also sneered.

"Dream come true?"

She looked at Chen Hechuan and stopped pretending, her face showing her undisguised emotions.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is well-known, so it would be easy for him to have a child. This coveted opportunity should be given to someone else. I don't want it."

Gu Jingchun spoke the last few words with each word pronounced clearly and forcefully.

Shen Hechuan's expression changed instantly.

"very good."

He sneered.

"You actually asked me to find another woman?"

Gu Jingchun also sneered.

"So what?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is second only to the emperor and has countless women around him. Is it strange that he wants to find other women?"

"hehe."

Chen Hechuan looked at Gu Jingchun's calm and ruthless appearance, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

I was so angry that I clenched my teeth tightly.

"very good."

"I'm afraid this is the real you."

Gu Jingchun turned his head and stopped looking at Chen Hechuan, but with his chin raised high, he immediately retorted:

"I have always been myself, whether it was the Liu Qingqing who obeyed your orders and kowtowed to you before, or the Gu Jingchun who is respectful and polite to you now, I am still me."

"If Your Highness only likes Liu Qingqing, who always obeys your every word, then I can tell Your Highness right now that I can't do that."

"Please retract this thought, Your Highness. I will not enter your Eastern Palace to be your jealous concubine, nor will I spend my whole life revolving around you, the only man."

"So, I don't want you to know about Xier's existence."

"First, I don't want Xi'er to be caught in the danger of the struggle for imperial power."

"Secondly, I don't want to enter your East Palace."

When Shen Hechuan heard this, he turned his head abruptly, and his eyes, as if dipped in ice, shot straight at her.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and it took a lot of effort to hold back his anger.

"Gu Jingchun."

He sneered.

"You're really great."

"It was only today that I realized how you view our relationship."

Gu Jingchun turned his head.

"I told you long ago that I would never be a concubine.

Hearing this, Shen Hechuan took a sip of tea.

With a "pa-" sound, the teacup was placed on the table.

In an instant, the teacup shattered into pieces, and Shen Hechuan's voice became a little louder.

"I told you, I will find a way to make you the Crown Princess."

"Think of a way?"

Gu Jingchun sneered.

"how long?"

"A year?"

"Two years?"

"Three years?"

"Or should I wait for you to ascend the throne many years later?

But by that time I will be old and ugly, and you will have other women and other children around you.

Will you still remember me then?

Will you still remember your promise?"

Gu Jingchun chuckled as she spoke. She saw Chen Hechuan open his mouth and wanted to refute, but Gu Jingchun got there first and stopped him from saying anything.

"Don't tell me you'll remember it forever."

"Don't tell me you won't have other women."

"Not to mention that I'm the only one in your heart."

As Gu Jingchun spoke, he had already stood up.

Chen Hechuan was sitting, and she stood in front of him, looking down at him with a arrogance that was unique to her.

It seemed as if she was now the dominant one between the two.

"I don't believe it."

This sentence made Shen Hechuan frown.

But Gu Jingchun continued: "Chen Hechuan, you have lived in this palace for more than 20 years."

"Your father, your brothers and sisters, your teachers, everyone around you, have told you how a man should treat a woman."

"Even if you try hard to prove you won't do it."

"But deep down, you naturally and subconsciously think that men have three wives and four concubines."

"You may not do it now, but in the future, you will."

"You can't be faithful to one person, because there's no one around you who can do that."

"You can get a glimpse of this from the very beginning when he told me to be a concubine."

"So, how could someone with this kind of thinking in his bones have only me in his heart?"

As Gu Jingchun spoke, she slowly took a step back, allowing Shen Hechuan to clearly see the determination in her eyes.

"So, I won't marry you and I won't enter the Eastern Palace.

I will not let myself and Xier be involved in the imperial power."

Hearing this, Shen Hechuan was silent for a moment.

He looked at Gu Jingchun as if he was meeting her for the first time.

After a moment, he chuckled.

"So, you were lying to me all along?"

Gu Jingchun blinked slowly, took a deep breath, and made up his mind.

Now that things had come to this, she might as well say it more harshly and let Shen Hechuan fully understand her thoughts.

This is better than Chen Hechuan thinking of letting her enter the palace in the future.

After all, a high-ranking person like Shen Hechuan would definitely despise her after learning the truth, so she could breathe a sigh of relief.

Therefore, Gu Jingchun said directly: "Yes."

She said seriously, her eyes filled with unprecedented determination and ruthlessness.

"I've been lying to you all along."

"I never liked you either."

Gu Jingchun's voice was not loud, but it kept repeating in Shen Hechuan's ears, deafening and making his head buzz.

He raised his eyes in disbelief and stared at Gu Jingchun, his eyes full of disbelief.

He wanted her to tell her that this statement was false.

She lied to him.

However, Gu Jingchun did not hesitate at all and continued speaking.

"I first noticed you because of your pretty face."

"Later, I chose you because I wanted to have a child.

Your conversation, knowledge, and accomplishments all tell me that you would be a good father."

"So, I approached you on purpose to seduce you."

Every word was like a torture to Shen Hechuan's heart, but his face remained calm and he subconsciously blurted out what she said.

"So, at that time you took Chinese medicine..."

Gu Jingchun interrupted Shen Hechuan directly.

"Yes, I gave the medicine myself at that time."

"Because you have always adhered to your gentlemanly ways, I had no choice but to take a risk and use this method."

"Fortunately, the result was not bad."

"You are definitely a good father, just as I thought."

"But I just want a child, not a husband."
