Pan Shu saw the jade pendant hanging around the neck of the swaddled baby.
The words "Banyan" are engraved on it.
"Yan'er." Pan Shu curled her lips, and a part of her heart felt a little sore.
Xiao Yan'er seemed to sense something and smiled at Banshu with her chubby red lips.
This was the scene Jiang Zhan saw when he came in.
Warm and beautiful.
He hid the wound on his wrist and walked in as if nothing had happened. When he saw the baby on the bed, he was stunned for a long time and his mind went blank for a moment.
"Your Highness, this is..."
Panshu turned around and picked up Xiao Yaner, who was looking around curiously. "Look, does he look like me?"
Jiang Zhan couldn't laugh anymore.
His back was stiff.
It was a very long time before he heard an extremely incredulous question coming from his throat, "Who gave birth to this...?" Bastard.
Pan Shu suppressed her smile and said, "Gu Chi's."
Jiang Zhan felt like he was about to die.
The chill that spread from my limbs and bones slowly turned into a bone-chilling pain.
He thought he would love the whole family as well.
In that failed war, he lost not only Pan Shu's trust, but also -
And their children.
Jiang Zhan was very sad at that time, but he was afraid that Pan Shu would blame him for not protecting their child.
In fact, the child could not be saved.
In order to treat the people of Yongzhou who were infected with the plague, he took too much blood.
His body was covered with wounds.
His blood is both poison and medicine.
But Jiang Zhan was unwilling to give up.
The child he forced to stay eventually left him in the most painful way.
He will never have children again.
It doesn’t matter actually.
At that time, the boy's eyes were filled with helpless tears. He thought that His Highness's child was his child.
He was really naive to think that he could love everyone as well as everyone in it.
But.
When this day finally comes.
Jiang Zhan realized that he hated her more than ever before.
Hate this baby who knows nothing.
Hate Gu Chi.
Jiang Zhan's mouth was full of the taste of rust. He opened his mouth, his nails scratched his palm until it bled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he barely managed to squeeze out an ugly smile after trying his best to restrain himself.
"Very much like your Highness."
He turned stiffly and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do. I...I'll leave first."
The moment you step over the threshold.
Hot tears fell one by one down his chin.
"Jiang Zhan." Pan Shu's voice was calm and peaceful, as if she hadn't noticed anything unusual about him. "Yan'er is very cute, isn't she?"
"……Um."
"Then will you treat him well?"
The young man carried Banshu on his back and wiped his tears with his sleeve. He lowered his trembling eyelashes and said in a voice that was almost pleading, "Your Highness, please don't make me say such words."
Pan Shu sighed deeply.
She walked around the screen and came to the boy.
"What's wrong with you?" She put her arms around the boy's thin waist. "Did anyone bully you?"
Jiang Zhan couldn't bear it any longer.
He pressed his hands tightly against Banshu's neck, his tears wetting the girl's clothes.
"I don't like Gu Chi's son."
He said childishly.
Pan Shu ruffled Jiang Zhan's hair intermittently, "If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Don't force yourself."
The young man's eyes were red, and he looked at Pan Shu with grievance and pity, "Your Highness, will we still have children?"
Actually he knows.
There won’t be any.
Never again.
His Highness didn't understand anything and only wanted to comfort him, "It's okay, Jiang Zhan, whether there is anything or not, I like Jiang Zhan very much."
Look.
His Highness still naively believes it.
Ziqian cried because he couldn't have a child.
Ziqian is clearly——
Crying for the child that died between him and His Highness.
It’s a pity that Your Highness will never know.
As the New Year draws to a close, Yongzhou is filled with joy and happiness. Shen Zhuo welcomes his new son, Pan Shu, with open arms.
But it is impossible to say that we are very close.
For the son of a love rival.
It was considered magnanimous not to kill him.
A thoughtful attitude can be considered distant at best.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan'er is still young and doesn't understand anything, but she loves to laugh very much. She smiles with her big eyes when she sees anyone, and her smile can melt people's hearts.
Zhong Yingying held Xiao Yan'er in her arms and sighed, "How could that traitor Gu Chi give birth to such a cute baby?"
Xiao Yaner giggled again.
Banshu smiled and drank a sip of fruit wine.
Shen Zhuo glanced at Xiao Yan'er expressionlessly and sneered disdainfully.
Zhong Yingying handed Xiao Yan'er to the wet nurse and rolled up her sleeves and got drunk.
In the backyard, Xiao Yan'er's cheeks were flushed, and she opened her big eyes like black grapes, looking at the young and handsome boy in front of her with innocence and curiosity.
Xiao Yaner is very friendly.
But the boy had no expression on his face and his eyes revealed ferocity.
Xiao Yaner pouted in grievance and burst into tears.
Jiang Zhan covered his mouth with a cold face, "Shut up."
He slowly placed his other hand on Xiao Yan'er's fragile and delicate neck. It was very soft and would break if pinched.
Jiang Zhan tilted his head innocently.
"You little bastard, you really know how to please His Highness."
He slowly withdrew the strength from his fingertips, and Xiao Yan'er's originally rosy little face suddenly turned purple due to difficulty breathing, which was particularly scary.
"Jiang Zhan, what are you doing?"
Behind him, the girl's voice made Jiang Zhan's fingertips pause suddenly. He withdrew his hand and turned around. It was Pan Shu with a questioning look on her face.
"Your Highness, Xiao Yan'er was crying and yelling just now. She must be hungry. The wet nurse was lazy. I felt sorry for her, so I tried to comfort her for a while."
Jiang Zhan lied with a normal expression.
Pan Shu quickly stepped forward and pushed him away, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Yan'er's face was purple and red, and she was wailing in pain.
She felt a little distressed.
"Really?"
His voice was faint, clearly expressing disbelief.
A look of panic slowly appeared on Jiang Zhan's face.
"I know you don't like Xiao Yan'er, Jiang Zhan. This is the first time. If I see you do something to him again, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship."
Jiang Zhan bit his lip tightly.
Pan Shu was disappointed. "Why did you become like this? You were not like this before."
The young man said with a sad face, "Ziqian is jealous, hasn't Your Highness always known this?"
Seeing that Banshu was silent, Jiang Zhan panicked and tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, kneeling on the ground, looking up and begging, "Your Highness, please don't hate Ziqian, okay? Ziqian is just jealous. Ziqian doesn't want to harm Xiao Yan'er..."
Ban Shu sighed helplessly, "You get up first."
There was still a distinct fingerprint on Xiao Yan'er's neck, but he didn't understand anything. He just thought Jiang Zhan was playing a game with him, and he clapped his little hands and giggled.
When she saw Gu Chi again, Xiao Yan'er was already three years old.
Barely learned to walk.
He just walked stumblingly and fell flat on his face after only a few steps.
Gu Chi was wearing an elegant and luxurious dark purple robe and a fox-white crescent-shaped cloak. He had a tall and straight figure, but his face was still a little pale.
His eyes first fell on Panshu.
Then she slowly looked at Xiao Yan'er in her arms.
