Chapter 246 Sincerity

Su Jingyao didn't sleep for long. Her thick eyelashes blinked gently a few times, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, there was still some confusion in his eyes, as if he was still immersed in the chaos just now.

When she regained consciousness, what she saw was Jun Zechen's handsome and resolute face. She subconsciously shrank inward in an instant, like a frightened rabbit.

Jun Zechen saw that the corner of her mouth was smiling when she woke up, but because of her retreating action, her smile froze in an instant and just froze on her face.

He sighed softly, his voice low and gentle.

"I will not harm the Su family."

Su Jingyao placed her small hands on her chest, tightly gripping the quilt, her fingers turning slightly white from the force.

"Can I trust Your Highness?"

Her voice trembled, with a hint of uncertainty and timidity.

Without saying a word, Jun Zechen reached into the quilt without hesitation, hugged her waist, and with a little force, he pulled her into his arms.

"Jiaojiao is already pregnant with my eldest son. How can I still deal with the Su family?"

There was a hint of pride and doting in Jun Zechen's tone.

Su Jingyao's eyes widened instantly, her eyes full of surprise. She let go of the quilt with her little hands and carefully stroked her belly.

"I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, she is pregnant, so Jiaojiao accuses me of drugging you. Does that prove her innocence?"

Jun Zechen raised the corners of his mouth and looked at her with a teasing smile.

Su Jingyao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly her emotions seemed to burst. She hugged Jun Zechen's neck tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself with him and embed her whole body in his arms.

"Your Highness, I was really scared when I saw those letters."

"I am afraid that His Highness doesn't like me, that His Highness will harm the Su family, and that His Highness's favor is just an exploit."

She cried and sobbed.

The crying sounded pitiful and adorable, and the long eyelashes were instantly wetted by the tears, like a flower covered with morning dew.

"Be good, you're pregnant, crying too much is not good for your health. Naturally, I like you the most."

Jun Zechen gently stroked her back, his movements gentle and soothing, trying to comfort her.

It is a blessing for Su Hongyu, this old fox, to have a daughter like her. If Su Hongyu cannot convince her, then he can only talk to Su Jingxuan again. Su Jingxuan's character and ambitions are similar to his. Neither this son nor this daughter is like Su Hongyu.

When Su Jingyao thought about her pregnancy, she slowly stopped crying, but she would still sob from time to time, and her petite body trembled slightly in his arms.

Jun Zechen held her like this until he felt her breathing gradually become steady, her body stopped shaking, and her mind became completely calm, then he got up from the bed.

He stood beside the bed, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

Su Jingyao lay on her side, staring at him intently, her eyes reddened and her pupils as if soaked in clear spring water, revealing endless innocence and pity.

"Have you finished dinner?" Jun Zechen asked softly.

“I can’t eat.”

Su Jingyao's voice was still a little hoarse from crying, soft and sticky, generally without any strength.

"You can't eat because you're pregnant. I remember that you were very particular about food. But after you got pregnant, I asked Miaoyue and the food doctor in your palace to learn from you and make a more balanced diet for you. You can't avoid meat anymore."

Jun Zechen looked a little serious, and he gave instructions word by word with a serious look.

"You should still eat some at night. Eat as much as you can. You can't not eat at all."

Having said that, Jun Zechen slightly bent down and gently picked the person up.

Su Jingyao leaned obediently on his strong chest.

It seems that my dependence has become more serious after I became pregnant.

But it's not bad to have an old man serving her. She just has to stretch out her hand for clothes and open her mouth for food. If she is in a bad mood and loses her temper, he can only bear it.

At this time, the meals had been neatly arranged on the dining table outside. Miaoyue knew that Su Jingyao was pregnant, so some of the meals she made were suitable for pregnant women.

Jun Zechen didn't have dinner in the first place, and Su Jingyao was feeling low and listless at the moment, so he could only hold her in his arms and patiently feed her a little from time to time.

She chewed her food slowly and carefully. She just took a bite of the stewed chicken that Jun Zechen fed her, but she chewed it for a long time without swallowing it, so she became a little impatient.

Her brows were wrinkled, and her delicate little face was frowned, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Jun Zechen asked concernedly.

"I can't swallow it."

Her voice was muffled, with a hint of irritability and grievance.

"Bring me the spittoon."

Jun Zechen frowned slightly and gave the order in a deep voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, a palace maid beside her brought the spittoon over with light steps, held it steadily in both hands, and handed it to Su Jingyao.

Su Jingyao leaned forward slightly, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and spit into it.

The spittoons of these masters were carefully fumigated with precious spices, so no bad smell would be emitted.

After seeing her vomit, Jun Zechen picked up the tea of ​​suitable temperature and fed it to her mouth. Su Jingyao took a sip, rinsed it in her mouth and spit it into the spittoon.

Then she leaned weakly on his shoulder, with a hint of laziness and coquettishness in her voice.

"Is it because I'm pregnant? Your Highness has become so much gentler. I'm really blessed by the child in my belly."

Jun Zechen has always known that pregnant women tend to worry too much, and hearing her sour words, he truly experienced it.

Although she is the first woman to bear his child in this life, Jun Zechen had many children in his previous life. If he had no memories of his previous life, he might be ecstatic about the arrival of this child.

But he was happy today because the child was hers. Even when he was framed and questioned by her today and Jun Zechen didn't know how to defend himself, the arrival of this child allowed him to prove his innocence.

"It's a blessing for this child to come out of your belly. You've only been pregnant for a little over a month. Don't let your imagination run wild. Do you think anyone can let me serve them?"

Jun Zechen patted her lower back gently, his movements were gentle and a little doting.

Su Jingyao smiled without comment.

The meal was extremely disgusting, and An Shun looked on with a red face.

It was the first time I saw His Highness coaxing a girl to eat in such a gentle voice. He was careful when picking up dishes, focused when pouring tea, and gentle and delicate when wiping the corners of her mouth.

As gentle as you can be.

The concubine is really capable.

Jun Zechen himself didn't think anything of it and even enjoyed the feeling very much.

In the past, he was always served, and the women in the harem were all well-behaved. He himself never liked to have overly close contact with women. But since she kissed him boldly that time, it seemed that a new world had opened up for Jun Zechen.

Not only was he not bored with being intimate with her, he even enjoyed it.

Just like now when I am holding her while having a meal, she is well-behaved and adorable, and even if she is a little bit naughty, it just makes people want to give her endless love and affection.

"But if you're not pregnant, Your Highness won't be so gentle."

Su Jingyao pouted and mumbled, looking a bit willful and coquettish.

"When you're lying with your eyes half closed, do you want to recall the afternoon when I held you in my arms while reviewing memorials?"

Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows, his tone tolerant.

"I am not gentle to you?"

Jun Zechen's voice rose slightly.

On the contrary, he felt that he was too good to her, which allowed her to go further.

After becoming the emperor in his previous life and unifying the country, the imperial majesty became increasingly severe, and his emotions were never easily revealed on his face.

If he smiles occasionally, Anshun might be so surprised that he can't close his mouth.

After being reborn, his bottom line retreated again and again because of her. When he was with her, he was so gentle that even Jun Zechen himself had never expected.

Gentle.

If someone had used this word to describe him in his previous life, he would have found it absurd and ridiculous.

In this life, this woman not only received his gentleness, but also complained that he was not gentle enough.

"Your Highness is the best. Now that I am pregnant with your child, can I have a golden medal that will protect me from death?"

Su Jingyao blinked her bright big eyes, full of anticipation.

"What's the point of talking about life or death? Don't talk about this when you're pregnant."

There was a hint of severity in Jun Zechen's tone.

Su Jingyao rolled her eyes in her heart. The old man was indeed feudal.

"Then no matter what I say, Your Highness is not allowed to get angry."

Su Jingyao tugged at Jun Zechen's sleeve, her voice soft and a little flattering.

"You say."

Su Jingyao hesitated for a moment, then hugged Jun Zechen's neck, leaned close to his ear, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, as quiet as a mosquito.

"I want the baby in my belly to be the legitimate heir when he is born. I want to be your highness's future queen."

Having said that, Su Jingyao, who had been curled up in his arms, slowly sat up straight, with a hint of stubbornness in her straight back.

Her clear eyes looked straight at him, without the slightest avoidance.

When Jun Zechen heard this, his eyes narrowed instantly, and his eyes were like a deep sea with surging waves. He just stared at her like that.

"You can even say such a thing?"

His voice was low, as if squeezed out from his chest. The two were so close that each other's figures were clearly reflected in each other's eyes.

"Your Highness said that he likes me the most, so I must show my sincerity."

Su Jingyao gritted her teeth, held Jun Zechen's hand, and then placed his hand on her still flat belly.

"Your Highness is the legitimate son of the Empress, and I am the eldest daughter of the Su family. Shouldn't our child be given the most honorable status?"

There was a greedy and eager light in Su Jingyao's eyes, hot and strong.

Jun Zechen didn't say anything. The last time Ling Yue went to complain to her mother, she was made to kneel in the palace. Jun Zechen could not tolerate Ling Yue becoming the queen again.

In his heart, he wanted the woman in front of him to become his queen.

It's just...she confessed her desires so frankly that Jun Zechen didn't know what to say for a moment.

Agree to her? Then he really has no prestige at all, and his pampering is so excessive that even Jun Zechen himself thinks it is excessive.

If he doesn't agree to her, who else can be his queen?

The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Su Jingyao was not afraid at all. Her eyes did not flinch at all and she remained firm and persistent.

It seemed that Jun Zechen had to give him an answer.

In the end, Jun Zechen lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes concealed the emotions in his eyes.

"good."

His voice was very soft, but it seemed to carry a tremendous amount of strength.

"I like you very much, Your Highness."

Su Jingyao's voice was gentle, and she held his neck tightly with both hands, increasing the strength.

"If you don't agree, you won't like it?"

Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of playfulness in his deep eyes.

“I like both, and I like it even more now.”

Su Jingyao's face blossomed with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

No way. If he is not going to be the future queen, how can he expect her to like him?

Dreaming.

The cunning in her eyes flashed by, but Jun Zechen didn't notice it.
