She doesn't love him Qin Jingzhou.
She was also pregnant with Lu Jinyan's illegitimate child.
A heartless, ungrateful and ruthless woman like her deserves to die!
But when the sharp tip of the golden hairpin scratched the skin on her neck, leaving a small mark of blood, he still panicked.
With trembling fingers, he placed the bowl of abortion pills on the table beside him. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was as sharp as a knife. "Your loved ones are all in my hands."
"I'll give you two choices. Drink this bowl of medicine."
"Or, marry me."
She continued to move backwards with difficulty, her pale lips slightly opened and trembling in pain.
Obviously, she didn't want to choose either of these two paths.
Seeing that she was still pressing the golden hairpin against her neck, he sneered contemptuously, heartless and cruel.
"Of course, you can also choose to die, but I promise you that if you die, your whole family will be buried with you!"
Her fingertips trembled suddenly, and the blood-stained gold hairpin fell dejectedly to the ground.
She closed her eyes in pain. After a long while, he finally heard her hoarse voice like a dream, "I will marry you."
"But you can't hurt my family or the baby in my belly."
He stared at her flat belly, and finally compromised, "Okay, as long as you obediently serve as my Crown Princess, your group of criminal family members, and the evil child in your belly, can all survive!"
…
In the blink of an eye, it was their wedding day.
There wasn't a trace of joy or anticipation on her face.
He felt extremely unhappy when he saw her acting as if she was attending someone's funeral when she married him.
He wanted to kill that bastard and Lu Jinyan again.
However, he was more afraid that she would die, so he still deceived himself by telling himself that from now on, the bastard in her belly would be his, Qin Jingzhou's, flesh and blood.
He deliberately had someone hold Lu Jinyan back.
He didn't expect that on their wedding day, Lu Jinyan would ride his horse at full speed, disregarding the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, break into the East Palace and snatch the bride away.
The lives of her loved ones were in his hands, so she definitely wouldn't dare to leave with Lu Jinyan.
But even though he was holding the lives of her loved ones in his hands, he was still extremely nervous.
It's ridiculous. He had won the throne of crown prince in a bloody storm and had long since mastered the skill of not showing his emotions. Yet, he would get nervous when facing a girl who was several years younger than him.
He held her hand tightly throughout.
Hearing her resolutely draw a line between herself and Lu Jinyan and saying that she had him in her heart, even though he knew that she said it only out of helplessness, he couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.
He thought that as long as she was willing to stay with him, he could protect the baby in her belly and let it grow up safely.
The crown princes of every dynasty were accustomed to marrying the daughters of important officials to consolidate their power.
But for her, he could give up taking concubines and only want her.
Seeing Lu Jinyan in such a state of embarrassment and despair after being rejected by her, he thought that he could finally truly possess her.
Unexpectedly, his imperial sister, Princess Zhaohua, who had always been jealous of her, actually spent a huge sum of money to buy a hidden weapon with a sophisticated mechanism.
He intertwined his fingers with hers and was about to get married like an ordinary couple when Zhao Hua pressed the switch for the hidden weapon.
The dart filled with poison flew towards her chest fiercely!
At the same time, he also heard his men coming to report.
All the Song family members who were controlled by him ran away!
"Tangtang!"
He heard Lu Jinyan's heart-wrenching voice.
Lu Jinyan obviously wanted to block this fatal blow for her.
However, Lu Jinyan was some distance away from her, and was blocked by his secret guards, so Lu Jinyan was unable to protect her with his flesh and blood.
At that moment, many images flashed through Qin Jingzhou's mind, like a passing tour of a scene.
The Queen Mother’s expectations.
My father’s imperial power.
In order to become the crown prince, he walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood...
He is the crown prince of the current dynasty, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, with a thousand years of honor.
But nothing is more important than her being alive.
Without any hesitation, he turned around and used his body to tightly protect her.
The dart carried a deadly poison and penetrated deeply into his back. The poison spread quickly and even though he had amazing self-control, he still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"Royal brother!"
He heard Zhaohua's panicked shout.
Zhao Hua was unwilling to give in and obviously wanted to hurt her with a hidden weapon.
However, she didn't have the chance to release the hidden weapon again.
His secret guards had already restrained her severely.
From then on, she was no longer the arrogant princess, but a prisoner who plotted to murder the prince!
A steady stream of black blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.
He knew he was doomed.
But he found that he did not feel much regret for losing wealth, power, and even his life.
He couldn't help but check her body to make sure she was not injured.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw there was no blood on her.
"Your Highness!"
His advisers and secret guards were extremely anxious and rushed up like a tide, trying to support his staggering body.
He stopped them from coming forward and just held her hand stubbornly. He was always proud and dignified, but there was a rare hint of reluctance and humility in his voice.
"We have known each other for many years. Have you ever loved me? Have you ever been moved by me?"
"Even if it's just for a moment."
He heard her say, "No."
The voice is cold, the emotions are distant, and the heart is hard.
At this time, he finally saw her face.
