Ning Xi'er helped him back to the bed and patiently explained, "The place I came from is very different from here and from the Great Yan..."
"When I'll go back, and how I'll get back, I don't really know, just like I don't know how I got here..."
"That's why I can't make a promise."
Xie Zhun felt his heart was in turmoil, sometimes hanging in suspense, sometimes sinking heavily.
Ning Xi'er then said, "In my original place, marriage was free."
"That is to say, women have the right to choose their own marriage partners; they are free to choose who to marry or not to marry at all..."
"It's perfectly normal to never get married or have children; it's something you can decide for yourself."
Xie Zhun did not interrupt her, and listened attentively with a focused expression.
"For married couples, the rule of monogamy applies, meaning that legally, a husband can only marry one wife and cannot have multiple wives. If a wife dies or the couple divorces, the husband can remarry."
"So..." Ning Xi'er looked earnestly into Xie Zhun's eyes, "If I'm to be with someone, he can only marry me, and he can only have me in his heart and eyes..."
"I don't care about the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty; I can only accept my own understanding. If that person can't do it, then I don't want them..."
Xie Zhunzhen took Ning Xier's hand seriously and promised, "I can do it! It's not difficult at all. With you, how could I possibly have anyone else!"
Ning Xi'er smiled, her tone slightly arrogant, "Don't agree too soon. You might be able to do it now, but what if your master stops you?"
"Or perhaps in the future, when you attain a certain position, those who follow you will be your maternal grandfather, the Duke of Protectorate, your uncle, the Grand General..."
"Even ordinary people are asking you to think about the country and its people, about their offspring. What if I can't have a son or children in the future..."
Ning Xi'er was cut off from her words by Xie Zhun.
Although they haven't reached that point yet, both of them blushed a little when the topic came up.
Xie Zhun changed the subject, "Don't curse yourself!"
"Just in case, um..."
Ning Xi'er struggled free, worried about hurting him, "I meant in case..."
"There's no 'what if'."
Xie Zhun's voice was firm: "The Great Yan Dynasty has no such rule that the son must ascend the throne."
However, this is the usual practice, with the prince sitting on the throne.
"Even if I don't have a daughter, I'll always have suitable nephews or nieces..."
Xie Zhun's eyes suddenly turned cold.
yes!
Ning Xi'er suddenly remembered that the current emperor was originally the younger brother of the late emperor, and he only ascended the throne because Xie Zhun was "unable to walk"!
All right!
Ning Xi'er was fairly satisfied with his attitude.
Barely passed!
Thinking of Wei Xunfang, that annoying old stubborn man, Ning Xi'er asked Xie Zhun a question that almost made him fall off the bed.
She asked, "If I and my master fell into the water at the same time, and you could only save one of us, who would you save?"
Xie Zhun was indeed exceptionally intelligent; he made sure to ask beforehand, "Can I swim?"
Ning Xi'er: "Yes!"
Can you and your master swim?
"You don't even know that?"
"Save Master."
Ning Xi'er turned and left!
Xie Zhun grabbed him, and the person on the bed smiled, "No matter where you go, I'll be with you!"
Ning Xi'er blurted out, "Who needs you to accompany me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized what he meant by "accompanying"...
He stopped in his tracks, clenched his hands tightly as if he had made a great decision, before turning around and sitting down next to Xie Zhun again.
She said solemnly, "We can't predict what the future holds."
"But if you can do what you just promised and treat me sincerely, I promise I will always be by your side."
She didn't need to promise Wei Xunfang anything, just as she had said at the time, "I will tell Xie Zhun the answer myself."
Ning Xi'er seemed to be thanking someone for something, seeing two dazzling flowers bloom...
Joy bloomed on his face like a lotus flower, layer upon layer, so nuanced and moving!
Xie Zhun could no longer restrain himself. He reached out and pulled Ning Xi'er, who stumbled and fell into his arms...
Xie Zhun embraced Ning Xi'er tightly, whispering tenderly in her ear again and again, "I will definitely do it!"
The two hugged for an unknown amount of time until they let go and got back to the main topic.
Ning Xi'er requested that the two of them be honest with each other from now on, and that they speak frankly about anything that comes up.
If there is any inconvenience, we can keep quiet until the time is right and then communicate with each other.
It's better than being hypocritical and full of lies.
Ning Xi'er retrieved the report on the blood comparison between Eunuch Xu and Xu Yan from her spatial storage and explained the significance of the conclusion parameters to them.
While comparisons between close relatives are not as accurate as those between direct blood relatives, they still have significant reference value.
"There is a vulnerability."
When Ning Xi'er told her in detail that the original document had been destroyed and that the last conclusion page was forged, Xie Zhun reminded her of this.
Ning Xier picked up the report and examined it carefully, finding no abnormalities in the font or size.
"It's paper. The one you added is a bit thinner."
Ning Xi'er touched it again, then went back to her space to check the instrument's labeled data and the data on the printer's paper tray...
really!
They are the same size, but have different weights.
It's really hard to notice unless you look closely.
“When Eunuch Xu gets meticulous, his observation skills are no less than mine.”
Xie Zhun added.
"Then what should we do?"
Ning Xi'er suggested that they retype everything by hand.
