"What did you say? The Crown Prince's wife and Princess Shi hanged themselves?!"

In Hanfeng Courtyard, Qin Ye's surprised voice was heard.

How is this possible!

The eldest prince's wife was proud and competitive, and she doted on and protected her only daughter. She would not let her suffer even the slightest injury. How could she possibly die with her daughter?

Isn't it strange that a fire burned everything and even the bodies were gone?

“I was also surprised when I first received the news, but they and their daughter are already useless. Even if we have become enemies, there is no need to target them,” Zong Zhengchen said.

The news of the death of the Crown Prince's wife and Princess Shi was not made public and was a royal secret.

Qin Ye frowned, grabbed Zong Zhengchen's hand, and asked:

"Is it possible that someone killed them and then set a fire to destroy the bodies?"

The man lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

It's possible, but...

"Since he's dead, there's no need to investigate further."

Whether it was a frame-up or suicide, the emperor had no intention of investigating and handled the burial arrangements in secret.

From this day forward, the eldest prince's lineage is completely cut off.

Qin Ye pursed his lips, feeling a strange feeling.

Zong Zhengshi was young, spoiled, and arrogant. He had bullied and framed her. Even so, she felt regretful when Zong Zhengshi died.

A living child is gone just like that.

He touched his slightly bulging belly.

If that was her own child...she didn't dare to think about that kind of despair.

"Don't worry," the man seemed to see through her thoughts. He placed his big palm on the back of her small hand, held her small hand, and gently stroked their child.

His eyes were full of love and tenderness:

"I will do everything in my power to protect you and your child."

Even if the child might be deformed, he still wants it.

As long as they are their children, he likes them!

Qin Ye felt a slight warmth in his heart, and he slowly moved closer to the man's arms, listening to his heartbeat and feeling at peace.

"Wild."

The man's voice came from his chest, deep, muffled, and particularly low and pleasant.

"Yeah." She responded lazily.

"Stay by my side forever." He held her hand, "For a lifetime, from black hair to white hair, from green to old age, if there is an afterlife, I will find you in the next life."

"Okay?"

Every word should be taken seriously.

There were no fancy words, no earth-shaking vows, but just a few simple words spoken from the man's mouth, which sounded like the most beautiful language in the world.

If we could freeze the days at this moment, with peace and tranquility, without disasters, troubles, illnesses or pains, wouldn't that be beautiful?

Qin Ye lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and hummed lazily, "Hmm."

Outside the door, Yunying came over:

"Princess, Princess Ding is here and wants to ask you out for a walk."

"!"

Hearing this, Qin Ye instantly sat up straight, broke away from the man's arms, stood up, and hurriedly put on his shoes:

"Tell her to wait for me! I'll be there soon!"

Zong Zhengchen: “???”

Promise to stay with him forever?

Never leave?

The slap in the face came so quickly?

Leave without looking back?

"wild!"

Qin Ye, who had just run to the door, heard the sound and turned around to see the man's accusing eyes... She immediately turned back, hugged his face and kissed him.

Boo!

"I promised Princess Ding a few days ago, and I can't break my promise. I'm going out to play for a while and will be back soon. Don't worry, I will protect myself, be good."

Bobo~
