This is a very euphemistic way of putting it.
The emperor, however, looked aggrieved: "Guoguo, do you think I am a bloodthirsty person?"
Before Xing Guoguo could say anything, the little fur ball started shouting:
[“When the birds are gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.” Since ancient times, it has been the norm for emperors to be suspicious.]
"Host, we can't believe a man's lies! He's definitely lying to you! If we could believe a man's words, even sows would be able to climb trees!"
"I think Zong Zheng's refusal to return wasn't due to Concubine Shu! He must have seen through the Emperor's true colors! Just wait and see, if Zong Zheng returns, he'll surely die soon!"
[Host, you need to prepare early. Don't be fooled by this man's sweet talk! Once you give birth to the child, this bastard will definitely take action against you! These emperors are the best at "killing the mother and keeping the child"!]
The little fur ball spoke a long paragraph in one breath, and Xin Guoguo's mouth twitched when she heard it:
"Little fur ball, are you trying to brainwash me again? Are you afraid that I will stay for the sake of the child and refuse to leave?"
Little fur ball: (●°u°●)
[Hehe! Um, host, you misunderstood. I do believe you!]
That guilty expression and hesitant tone left Xin Guoguo speechless:
"You think too much!"
She wanted to have a child, but she was not a great mother.
The little fur ball pouted:
"I'm just worried you'll be assimilated by humans! Humans have so many demands on their "mothers"! Not only others, but even human mothers themselves are pua themselves! Oh ~ I can't think about it, just thinking about it makes me feel so scared!"
Xin Guoguo ignored it.
She looked at the emperor, smiled sweetly, and shook her head:
"No way! Your Majesty is so kind, how could he kill people so casually? That's why I'm curious!"
Judging from the emperor's attitude towards Zong Zheng, he seems to value Zong Zheng very much.
So, what was the reason in the original owner's previous life that made the emperor choose to use the death of the original owner and the child in her belly to kill Zong Zheng?
The emperor thought about it seriously for a long time.
It was so long that Xing Guoguo felt sleepy and yawned before he slowly spoke:
"I've considered many possibilities, but the only one that would make me want to kill is probably because the successor to the throne is someone I can't trust, right?"
Zong Zheng is a loyal and upright person, but this is on the premise that it does not involve Shu Fei.
Once someone controls Concubine Shu, Zong Zheng will be like a sharp weapon stabbing into one's heart.
He thought that if Guoguo had not been pregnant and Ye Jing had not become a monk, he would not be able to refuse Ye Jing from becoming the heir. Then, in order to prevent Zong Zheng from being used and threatened by Prince Qing, he could only kill Zong Zheng.
Xin Guoguo didn't know whether she heard it or not, she just nodded randomly.
The little head tilted and fell asleep on the emperor's shoulder, mumbling:
"Our son will never let His Majesty make such a choice!"
The emperor lowered his eyes, looked at the little girl sleeping soundly in his arms, and said softly:
"Yeah. Our son must be very outstanding!"
He lowered his gaze to the little girl's slightly curved belly, and the kindness in his eyes was gradually replaced by worry.

Spring goes and autumn comes, the leaves turn green and then yellow, and another winter is coming.
In the past few months, the Queen's health has been getting worse and worse, and the harem has completely stopped paying respects to her.
Xin Guoguo became even more lazy to go out.
After the celebration banquet, Concubine De did send someone to invite her, but Xin Guoguo refused on the grounds that "Your Majesty does not allow you to go."
Later, Xin Guoguo told the emperor about the matter of asking him to take the blame. The emperor nodded happily and said that in the future, all such responsibilities would be thrown to him and he would be happy to take them!
Therefore, people in the harem had less contact with Yong'an Palace.
However, as Xin Guoguo got older, the emperor's anxiety, which had been soothed with great difficulty, flared up again.
The Imperial Medical Bureau was urged to do so every day, but nothing was accomplished.
The entire Imperial Hospital was in a panic.
Xing Guoguo's life became more and more leisurely.
As September was about to end, the emperor even invited a midwife and brought the wife of the Minister of Rites, who had been unemployed for many years, into the palace.
The commotion was so loud that it attracted a lot of curious eyes.
But Yong'an Palace has now almost become the emperor's second bedroom. It is guarded so tightly that no one can find out any information.
The Minister of Rites and the Minister of the Imperial Household knew something about the situation, but they both tacitly agreed not to tell anyone.
That day, as soon as breakfast was served, Xin Guoguo felt a sharp pain in her stomach, as if all the bones in her body were being disassembled and reassembled.
【Host, you are about to give birth! 】
The little fur ball was so frightened that he didn't even bother to eat his melon seeds, and his whole body became panicked.
It's still a new cub and has never experienced such a terrible thing!
Xin Guoguo was very calm.
She found the experience somewhat novel.
It turns out that giving birth is so painful for human women?
She felt that the pain seemed to be even more severe than when she experienced the thunder tribulation!
She gritted her teeth and endured it.
But she didn't expect that the pain would suddenly disappear, as if the severe pain just now was just her illusion.
Xin Guoguo: ???
What's going on?
However, these did not affect her from continuing to eat.
joke!
She finally waited for breakfast! The food was already on the table! If she didn't eat it, wouldn't it be such a waste?!
There was no change on Xin Guoguo's face, only the hand that was picking up the food paused slightly.
The emperor had been like a frightened bird these days, and immediately asked with concern:
"Guoguo, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Come and eat."
