Two months passed by unknowingly. Su Jingyao calculated the days carefully and estimated that she would soon have a child.
After she stopped taking birth control pills, she drank the nourishing medicine prescribed by Doctor Li on time and in the correct amount every day.
I asked Nanny Lin to take her pulse, and sure enough, she was pregnant.
However, Su Jingyao never told Jun Zechen the news because she received a letter from her father.
Her hand holding the letter was trembling slightly and her face turned pale.
It turned out that before she married the prince, Jun Zechen had already been targeting the Su family in the court.
So the Su family was never mentioned in the original book, is it because after Jun Zechen ascended the throne, the Su family was already wiped out by Jun Zechen?
The reason why her father wrote to her this time was because Jun Zechen doted on her, and even her father outside the palace had heard about it.
After all, it was no secret in the palace that Jun Zechen had always neglected other concubines for her.
Daddy wants to know whether the prince’s favor towards her is out of exploitation or love, which determines Daddy’s attitude towards the prince.
Before, Daddy had always been a staunch royalist and the leader of the conservatives. This was why Daddy Su was able to reach this high position. He had the deep trust of His Majesty.
Since Su Jingyao married the prince, Su's father has actually become the prince's man.
Although other people in the court did not know, Father Su had long known the prince's ambitions. After the prince ascended the throne, he would need his support to launch wars and attack other countries.
None of the conservative ministers were willing to do so. If they obeyed the prince, Su Dad would have to abandon those officials who supported him. If they did not obey the prince, Su Dad did not know how long he could resist the prince.
For an old minister like Su Dad who sits in a high position, all decisions are not so simple. He must consider the thoughts of those who follow him.
After all, the prince is still young. How could the old ministers in the court be willing to give up the good peace, spend a lot of gold and silver to train soldiers, stockpile food and grass, and then take the initiative to start a war?
So Father Su never knew how to respond to the prince.
But as the prince doted on his daughter more and more, and even talked to him a lot in private and tried his best to lobby him, even Su Jingxuan was persuading him, he had to write a letter to ask his daughter.
The prince was a thoughtful person, and he was afraid that the prince was taking advantage of Yaoyao.
Su Jingyao's brows were tightly twisted into a knot, and her eyes were fixed on her father's letter.
The letter made a slight sound in her slightly trembling hands.
After reading the letter, her thoughts gradually began to become clear, and some things that she had never figured out before gradually became connected.
Therefore, in the original book, Daddy did not completely submit to Jun Zechen. One reason may be that Daddy was a conservative minister who adhered to his own position and principles and was unwilling to easily participate in war, which was a waste of money and manpower.
Another reason may be that in the original book, I died in the East Palace. Given my father's love for me, how could I cooperate with Jun Zechen?
Then there is a great possibility that the Su family will be eliminated by Jun Zechen.
But Jun Zechen really doted on her in this life. Perhaps for her sake, he would not attack the Su family again.
As for what Daddy said about being used, judging from Su Jingyao's own feelings, Jun Zechen's favor towards her did not seem fake.
But Jun Zechen had been reborn. In his previous life, he was a high and mighty emperor with a mind as deep as the sea.
Su Jingyao could only force herself to make rational judgments. As a person involved in the situation, she must not fall into emotional attachments, otherwise she would be blinded by one thing.
She couldn't just rely on her feelings. At least now she didn't have enough reasons to convince herself that Jun Zechen would definitely let the Su family go because of her.
She wasn't sure whether Jun Zechen really cared about her.
Su Jingyao gently stroked her belly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She murmured to herself, "My child, you came at the right time. Then accompany your mother to test your bad father."
Jun Zechen had correspondence with his father, and even issued some secret letters, all of which were intended to deal with the Su family in secret, but they were shelved.
The reason why Father Su knew this was because Jun Zechen had been trying to win over the Su family recently and even confessed the matter of the secret letter.
But, it is both a solicitation and a threat.
The existence of the secret letter is to tell Daddy clearly that if Daddy cannot be used by him, the Su family will be destroyed sooner or later.
Su Jingyao took a deep breath. She had to find these secret letters.
-
Yude Hall.
"Why is Your Highness so busy these days?"
Su Jingyao said coquettishly, sitting softly on Jun Zechen's lap, holding a plate of plump and juicy grapes in her hand.
From time to time, she would pick one up and put it in her mouth, chewing it gently, with some juice still on the corners of her mouth.
From time to time, she would reach out and feed Jun Zechen one, with a playful look in her eyes.
Jun Zechen held her in his arms, his expression focused, but his right hand was not affected at all as he was reviewing the memorials.
"I want to ask you, why are you pestering me all the time today? What do you want to do?"
Of course she wanted to find the secret letter. During this period, Su Jingyao came to the study in Yude Hall every few days. She almost searched the study room thoroughly, but she didn't see any secret letter at all.
Jun Zechen usually placed his memorials and documents directly on the desk, while some files or other letters were placed on the bookshelf next to it.
Jun Zechen's bookshelf is very large. Su Jingyao spent a lot of effort looking everywhere, but couldn't find it.
Is there some hidden mechanism?
Su Jingyao pondered secretly in her heart.
If she fails to find him in one day, Su Jingyao can only come to Jun Zechen. The glory and safety of the Su family cannot rely solely on the favor of a man. She must test it herself before she can tell her father what to do.
