“Why won’t you let them go?”
Si Zhan’s gaze turned cold. “Did Mi Yue tell you all this?”
Ning Wanwan shook her head. “Who told me is unimportant. What matters is that you’ve changed, becoming increasingly ruthless.”
Though Si Zhan of her previous life was not much better, she had felt he would not indiscriminately kill or exploit everyone. She feared he might even use her and their child.
Si Zhan, sensing her worry, leaned down, holding her shoulders, his dark phoenix eyes focused on hers. He said seriously: “Wanwan, no matter how I change, I will never harm you and the child.”
“Let’s return to Qian Nan quickly,” Ning Wanwan urged, grabbing his arm. “The Empress Dowager has been cursed by Xu Manyao, and the Emperor has always been weak.”
With your current status, no one can stop you. As long as you want to leave, you can.”
Si Zhan stood up straight, “It’s not time yet.”
“Do you have other plans?” Ning Wanwan asked nervously.
Si Zhan looked down at her, radiating cold majesty, “My only plan is to give you and the child supreme honor.”
Supreme honor, meaning the status of Crown Prince and Empress…
The imperial uncle may be a villain, but he has principles.
The male and female leads will have some minor conflicts.
Regarding Xu Manyao and Lu Chuan, the female lead only knows the outcome, and her understanding is based on speculation, not entirely factual. Readers are encouraged to remain patient and read the full text for context.
The true reason for Xu Manyao and Lu Chuan’s deaths will be explained shortly, differing from the female lead’s speculation.
Ning Wanwan lay on the bed, hearing footsteps and said impatiently: “Didn’t I say I have no appetite?”
“Even without an appetite, you must eat something.”
Hearing Si Zhan’s voice, Ning Wanwan turned over, “You’re back.” She covered her belly as she prepared to sit up; although her pregnancy was not yet four months, she was already showing significantly.
Si Zhan placed the tray on the bedside table and helped Ning Wanwan sit up, providing a cushion for her back.
“Here, let me feed you,” he said, sitting on the bed’s edge. He picked up the rice bowl and used chopsticks to offer her a piece of tender white fish.
