Wang Jinling said this after careful consideration. The Ninth Prince's health was too bad. If he continued like this, his early death was inevitable.
He had no choice but to come to Feng Qingchen. Wang Jinling couldn't think of anyone else who could persuade the Ninth Uncle except Feng Qingchen.
Seeing Feng Qingchen's thoughtful expression, Wang Jinling said again: "Qingchen, persuade him when you have time, let him rest more."
"Is he very busy lately?" Feng Qingchen sighed, looking helpless.
"Very busy. Although it is General Feng Li's job to capture Nanling, and the officials' job to govern Nanling, all of this has to be supervised by the emperor. Most importantly, the situation in Beiling is not optimistic." Wang Jinling looked apologetic. If possible, he didn't want to cause trouble for Feng Qingchen at this time.
The world is just beginning to settle down, and a strong monarch is needed. If a young ruler succeeds to the throne, even if Feng Qingchen has a thousand tricks, he may not be able to suppress the chaos.
Both publicly and privately, he could not bear to see the Ninth Prince torture him, abandon the empire he had just conquered, and leave Feng Qingchen and her son to depend on each other.
"I understand. I will try to persuade him." Feng Qingchen did not refuse, and she could not refuse. What Wang Jinling could think of, she could think of.
Her children still need their father's protection until they grow up.
"Don't think too much. The emperor will only be busy for the next two years. Everything will be fine in two years." Wang Jinling's words were a double entendre, referring to the situation in the world and the relationship between Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince.
"You're right. Maybe it will be fine in two years." Feng Qingchen had a bitter look on his face and frowned slightly. Wang Jinling didn't say anything more. He comforted Feng Qingchen with a few words and left.
To persuade a beloved woman to reconcile with her love rival is more painful for a man than having his heart cut out. Wang Jinling looked at the sunlight outside the house, and for a moment, he felt that he was truly a saint, and he really lived up to the name of a gentleman.
In this world, there are few people who can do what he does. In public and private, he is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.
Wang Jinling laughed at himself, put away the ridiculous sigh in his heart, put on a graceful, elegant and calm appearance, continued to greet the people outside the house, and then left with everyone watching...
After Wang Jinling left, Feng Qingchen sat alone in a chair and thought for a long time. Thinking about the present, the future...
She had seen the changes that the Ninth Prince had undergone during this period. If the Ninth Prince continued like this, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
To be more rational, she should accept the Ninth Uncle even for the sake of the child. She was an orphan in both of her lives, so she naturally understood the importance of a complete family to a child.
To be more realistic, even if it is because of the Ninth Prince's current status, she should reconcile with him. In this way, her son will be the future crown prince as soon as he is born.
But……
She could find thousands of reasons to convince herself to forgive the Ninth Prince, but there was only one thing that she couldn't get over. She felt bad, and she couldn't let it go. If they reconciled like this, sooner or later, they would have another falling out.
She is not an innocent girl, and the Ninth Prince is not a naive man who will do anything for love. They are both too realistic. No matter how deeply they love each other, the country is still the country, and the beauty is still just a beauty.
She has not had much since she was a child, and there is no one around her to rely on. She has always relied on herself, and she is a person who lacks security.
Half a year ago, she relied on the Ninth Prince Uncle and regarded him as the most important thing in her life. However, the Ninth Prince Uncle slapped her hard, making her realize that in this world, she could only rely on herself.
The Ninth Prince's concealment and the incident on the Cliff of Destiny had caused her great harm, not physically, but mentally. She could not trust the Ninth Prince now, nor did she dare to hand herself over to him, lest she get hurt again.
Feng Qingchen admitted that she was a timid person. She was afraid that what happened on the cliff would happen again and that she would be abandoned again. She was even more afraid that the Ninth Prince would tell her one day that he was a man who valued his promises and that he had to marry Qin Baoer to keep his promises, but that he did not love Qin Baoer and asked her not to be petty.
"Miss, you should go back to your room and rest." Tong Jue waited for a long time, not daring to disturb Feng Qingchen. But Feng Qingchen had been sitting for too long, and if she continued to sit, she would feel uncomfortable at night.
Feng Qingchen was stunned, looked up at Tong Jue blankly, and said softly, "I understand." After his thoughts were interrupted, he couldn't think any further.
After returning to the room, Feng Qingchen saw an empty seat in the corner. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let someone put a soft couch there."
It was unrealistic to prevent the Ninth Prince from coming. What she could do was to let the Ninth Prince come so that he could have a rest.
Tong Jue was stunned for a moment, and suppressed the urge to look up and see Feng Qingchen's expression, and responded with a "yes".
That night, Feng Qingchen did not pretend to be ignorant as usual. As soon as the Ninth Prince appeared, Feng Qingchen said, "There is a low couch opposite."
The Ninth Prince paused. He did not expect Feng Qingchen to call him. He was stunned for a moment before he said coldly, "I'm not tired."
"I look tired." Feng Qingchen didn't say much, and just said in a small temper: "If you don't want to sleep, go back to the palace."
"Okay. I'll sleep." The Ninth Prince raised the corners of his lips slightly, a faint smile flashed across his bloodshot eyes, and he became much softer.
After more than half a year, there has finally been some progress, and he believes that things will be even better in the future.
The Ninth Prince turned back and lay down on the low couch. He thought he would be so happy that he couldn't fall asleep, but he was really exhausted. Except for a short rest at noon every day, he had no time to close his eyes. As soon as he touched the bed, he fell asleep.
But Feng Qingchen could no longer close her eyes. She kept her eyes open, staring at the ceiling of the bed in a daze: Even if Xu Nuo stopped forcing her, the Ninth Prince was still overbearing and stubborn, gradually conquering her defenses and eroding her reason. If this continued, the Ninth Prince would soon be able to sleep with her till she fainted again.
What should she do?
As the sky was getting light, the Ninth Prince got up. When Feng Qingchen heard the noise, he immediately closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, looking like he was asleep.
The Ninth Emperor put on his clothes, and like every morning before, he walked to the bedside with very low steps, looking at Feng Qingchen affectionately and attentively, until it was too late to retract his gaze, bent down and pecked the corner of Feng Qingchen's lips, and pulled the quilt for Feng Qingchen before leaving...
After a full night's sleep, the Ninth Prince looked energetic the next day and his mood was obviously much better, which made those who served him feel relieved.
At the morning court, when the court officials once again asked the Ninth Prince to recruit concubines, the Ninth Prince did not lose his temper and leave, but said calmly: "My health was damaged in my early years, and the imperial physician diagnosed that it would be difficult for me to have children in the future."
In other words, the Ninth Prince cannot have children!
This is absolutely bad news!
All the court officials were stunned, even Wang Jinling was dumbfounded, looking at the Ninth Uncle in disbelief...
