Chapter 99
Gu Jingchun looked at Shen Hechuan's gloomy face and couldn't help but sigh.
Now that things had come to this, there was no need for her to hide anything anymore, so she simply revealed all her thoughts.
"Because I don't want to put myself and Seele in danger."
Shen Hechuan chuckled softly.
"Danger?"
"Do you know how many people dream of having the position of the eldest grandson but can't even get?"
Gu Jingchun also let out a cold laugh.
"What I've always dreamed of?"
She looked at Shen Hechuan, no longer pretending, her face revealing her undisguised emotions.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is renowned, so having a child would be incredibly easy for you. This coveted opportunity should be given to someone else. I don't care for it at all."
Gu Jingchun spoke the last few words slowly and deliberately, with a strong and clear voice.
This caused Shen Hechuan's expression to change instantly.
"very good."
He gave a cold laugh.
"You actually want me to go find other women?"
Gu Jingchun also sneered.
So what?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is second only to the Emperor, and has countless women around him. Is it strange that you would want to find other women?"
":hehe."
Looking at Gu Jingchun's calm and indifferent demeanor, Shen Hechuan felt as if he were seeing her for the first time.
He clenched his teeth tightly in anger.
"very good."
"This is probably the real you."
Gu Jingchun turned his head away from Shen Hechuan, but with his chin held high, he immediately retorted:
“I have always been myself. Whether it was Liu Qingqing, who was obedient and subservient to you before, or Gu Jingchun, who is respectful and courteous to you now, it is still me.”
"If Your Highness only likes Liu Qingqing, who is obedient to you, then I can tell Your Highness now that I can't do it. I also ask Your Highness to give up this idea. I will not enter your Eastern Palace to become one of your jealous concubines, nor can I revolve my life around only one man like you."
Therefore, I don't want you to know about Seele's existence.
Firstly, they did not want Seele to be caught in the dangers of the power struggle within the imperial court.
Secondly, she does not wish to enter your Eastern Palace.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan abruptly turned his head, his eyes fixed on her as if they were filled with ice.
His fists were clenched tightly, his teeth were grinding, and it took a lot of effort for him to hold back his anger.
"Gu Jingchun".
He sneered.
"You're really great."
"It's only today that I realized how you view our relationship."
Gu Jingchun turned his head.
"I told you before that I would never be a concubine."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan took a big gulp of tea.
With a "thud," the teacup was placed on the table.
In an instant, the teacup shattered into pieces, and Shen Hechuan's voice rose a few decibels.
"I told you I would find a way to make you the Crown Princess."
"Think of a way?"
Gu Jingchun sneered.
"how long?"
"A year?"
Two years?
Three years?
"Or should we wait until many years later, when you ascend the throne?"
But by then I will be old and past my prime, and you will have other women and other children by your side.
Will you still remember me then?
Will you still remember that promise?
Gu Jingchun chuckled as she spoke. She saw Shen Hechuan open his mouth, about to retort, but Gu Jingchun cut him off before he could finish.
"Don't say you'll remember."
"And don't say that you won't have other women."
Not to mention that I'm the only one in your heart.
Gu Jingchun gradually stood up as he spoke.
She looked down at Shen Hechuan, her eyes filled with a unique kind of oppressiveness.
It was as if she was now the one in control between the two of them.
I don't believe it.
One sentence made Shen Hechuan frown.
But Gu Jingchun continued, "Shen Hechuan, you have lived in this palace for more than twenty years."
Your father, your brothers and sisters, all of you have told you how a man should treat a woman.
Deep down, you subconsciously believe that men are meant to have multiple wives and concubines, and you can't be faithful to one man because no one can.
"This can be seen from the very beginning when they told me to become a concubine."
"Therefore, how could someone with this kind of thinking in their bones only have me in their heart?"
Gu Jingchun said, "Therefore, I will not marry you, I will not enter the palace, and I will not let myself and Xi'er get involved in the power struggle."
That's why I don't want you to know that Seele is your child.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan remained silent for a moment.
He looked at Gu Jingchun as if he were seeing her for the first time.
After a moment, he chuckled softly.
"So, you were lying to me all along?"
Since the matter had already come to this point, Gu Jingchun decided to stop hiding it and tell everything directly, so that Shen Hechuan would not misunderstand in the future.
After all, someone as high and mighty as Shen Hechuan might despise her after learning the truth, which would put her at ease.
Therefore, Gu Jingchun said directly, "Yes."
She spoke earnestly, her gaze filled with an unprecedented firmness.
"I've been lying to you all along."
I have never liked you.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan looked up in disbelief, his eyes instantly fixed on Gu Jingchun, filled with disbelief.
"I first noticed you because of your beautiful face."
