Lu Zheng looked at the crescent-shaped wound on his hand and suddenly smiled.
The imperial physician beside him was stunned and thought the emperor had gone crazy.
"No need." Lu Zheng said, "I want this scar to remain."
There was too much pain in him that was inflicted by others, but only here was it left by Jiang Jiang.
There was some madness in his eyes.
He enjoyed the kiss Jiang Jiang brought him.

When Jiang Jiang woke up, she saw him treating his scar like a treasure and she almost laughed out of anger.
She asked the palace maid to get some scar-removing ointment and applied it to him herself. She said with a smile and a hint of heartache, "We're not going to be separated, so why do you need to hurt yourself as a memorial?"
Lu Zheng was incredibly obedient in front of her. He had a palace maid bring in the newborn baby and said softly, "Jiang Jiang, look, this is our baby."
"The little prince is so well behaved, he doesn't cry or make a fuss, and his eyes and eyebrows look exactly like the queen."
Lu Zheng liked to hear the palace ladies say these things, and would reward them whenever they mentioned them.
This is the blood of him and Jiang Jiang. He feels like his soul is trembling when he holds her in his arms.
Lu Zheng doesn't like children, but because he is Jiang Jiang's child, he will protect him.
Jiang Jiang took the child from the midwife and took a look at it. She didn't see any resemblance to her, but the child was so cute from the moment he was born that he made people love him.
Jiang Jiang gently stroked the baby's pink cheek with her fingertips and suddenly said with a smile: "Let's call your nickname Sui'an."
Lu Zheng's eyes flickered slightly: "Peace every year?"
"Yes." Jiang Jiang pushed the child into his arms. "May he be safe and sound every year. I also wish..." She raised her eyes and looked into Lu Zheng's. "My Ah Zheng, from now on, will live in Chang'an every year."
Lu Zheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly lowered his head and gently placed his forehead against the baby's swaddling clothes: "Your name is Lu Yunke?"
Her fingertips drew a small sun between the child's eyebrows. "In the Chuci, 'Yun' means sunlight. The moment he emerged..." her voice suddenly choked, "it was just at dawn."
When he was most anxious, the sun rose, and then everything was safe.
Lu Zheng never thought that his despicable and dark side would have anything to do with sunshine.
But he is different from Jiang Jiang's other child. He doesn't know how to be a father, but he will learn.
They would be a perfect family.
Outside the window, the morning light penetrated the clouds, enveloping the three of them in golden light.
The old nanny who had served Lu Zheng since childhood secretly wiped away her tears - after so many years, this cold and lonely palace finally had some of the daily life of the world.
She, the young lady, should rest in peace after her death.

Jiang Yun was rescued by Jiang Su during the pursuit.
It wasn't quite true that they were hunting her down. It looked like they just wanted to drive her out of the capital and had no intention of hurting her.
Jiang Yun didn't know who was doing this, and thought it was one of Prince An's old subordinates. She looked at her father who had aged a lot, and imagined herself crawling into his arms like she did when she was a child and crying loudly.
Why did her wealth and glory still leave her after she came back to life?
Why did my younger sister marry Lu Zheng and eventually become the queen?
If I could have stayed by his side in my previous life, wouldn’t that be the case...?
No, that won't happen. There is no such thing as this, because it was the wrong person to begin with, so there is no ending.
Jiang Yun looked at her father and called out softly, "Dad."
But Jiang Su looked at his daughter with complicated eyes. He did not indulge her like he had done countless times before. There was pain and confusion in his eyes.
