After this whole exchange, Zhenshan had been much more tamed and her little head gently rested on Jiang Ming's shoulder.
"Your Excellency, will you... really give me a solution?"
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming smiled and took a gold hairpin from the box beside him, placed it in Zhen Shan's hand, and said, "This is a token of our love. From now on, you are my woman."
Looking at the hairpin, a hint of excitement flashed in Zhenshan's eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by worry.
"Lord Xiangguo..."
Zhen Shan's tears streamed down her face as she choked out, "It's not that I'm ungrateful or have failed the Prime Minister's good intentions, it's just... my parents are in Ji Kingdom. What if... the Empress Dowager finds out I've betrayed her? What will happen to my family?"
"rest assured!"
Jiang Ming patted her shoulder with a smile and said, "The Jin family won't know, and... even if they did, your family will definitely be fine."
"Really?"
"Otherwise what?"
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "The Jin family's connection with the Ji Kingdom relies on you as their sole source. Whatever message she sends to the Ji Kingdom, you send it to me. I will review it before passing it on to the Ji Kingdom. How could anything go wrong with that? Even if she finds out that you betrayed her and the message can't be sent back, the King of the Ji Kingdom won't do anything to your parents, right?"
"oh......"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Shancai nodded with a sigh of relief.
"remember!"
Jiang Ming said, "Keep an eye on Jin's every move. If anything happens, tell me immediately. You are my eyes and ears."
"Lord Xiangguo..."
Zhenshan frowned and lowered her head, rubbing her lower abdomen with her hand. She said with some worry, "Of course I'm willing to serve you, but... I'm so scared!"
What are you afraid of?
"I'm afraid I'm pregnant..."
Zhenshan said worriedly, "If I'm pregnant, the truth will come out sooner or later, and the Empress Dowager will find out!"
"You're such an idiot!"
Jiang Ming said speechlessly, "If you were really pregnant, I would have taken you away. Why are you worried about this?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant..."
Zhenshan quickly explained, "What I mean is, if the Empress Dowager finds out I'm pregnant, she definitely won't trust me anymore, and I won't be able to run errands for the Prime Minister anymore, which would delay the Prime Minister's business... After all, I am now the Empress Dowager's most trusted person."
"oh......"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind.
