Chapter 260: Reward
She knew all too well how it felt.
Since the death of her mother, there has been no one around her who loves her anymore, and she doesn't want her children to suffer from this.
For the emperor, Ji Hengran saw it more clearly.
"No, you're not going to die." He firmly refuted her conclusions.
Ji Ran looked at him in astonishment: "How do you know?" ”
He curled the corners of his lips, and when he saw that her face was not good, he got up and helped her to lie on the bed, and then tucked the quilt for her, and then sat back down beside her, and clasped his fingers with her again.
"Of course he won't be willing to kill you, and even if he does, it's only temporary. It won't take long for him to understand that instead of using you to look at me and then use me to blackmail my brother, it is better to use you and the child directly, and to hold me and my brother at the same time. With the only bloodline of the Ji family, my flesh and blood, my brother's son-in-law, and at the same time let us work willingly for him. ”
He was neither happy nor angry when he spoke, and he was even gently kneading his cold fingers for Ji Ran.
The wound on her wrist had already healed, and all that was left was a slight ache and a long feeling of weakness.
Just like now, Ji Ran felt the same way in his heart.
Ji Hengran's gaze fell on her face, and he immediately softened.
"Have you forgotten? What you are pregnant with, in addition to your own flesh and blood, is also my child, and it is also the eldest brother's name and above the son-in-law, if nothing else, no matter whether this child is male or female, he will be the heir of the next generation of the Ji family. ”
Ji Ran looked back at him, a little chilled.
She couldn't understand how this person could think so well about this in such a short period of time.
Even the emperor is counted among them.
When she was still weighing the pros and cons of their relationship and this child's life, he had already thought of it in the fastest time......
When she thought of this, it dawned on her.
"......I see," she couldn't help but sigh, then looked into his eyes and asked in disbelief but earnestly, "Do you want to...... Let him be a proton instead of you, right? ”
Ji Hengran never thought of denying this.
"You can say the same thing."
In the current situation and war situation, helping Ji Xuzhi to regain the lost ground is indeed the top priority, and nothing can be more urgent than this matter.
This child is indeed an opportunity, an important opportunity that he has been looking forward to for half a year.
Ji Ran only felt his heart sink, and just now he was faintly glad that he attached so much importance to this child, but he didn't expect that he wanted to keep this child just for this.
"Ji Hengran, in fact, you have been using me......" She finally couldn't stand it, turned her face sideways, didn't look at him again, and after a while, she covered her face and broke down and cried: "Isn't it, from the first day you helped your brother marry me, everything is just a conspiracy for you to draw salary?" It seems that I am plotting against you for Seventh Brother, but in fact, you are plotting against me. You don't care about me at all, and you don't care about this child, how can you be involved by your father or the seventh brother because of us? Why don't you tell the truth? Do you just say that you kept my life on the mountain so that I could die as I deserved? ”
She fell into her own thoughts, determined to understand and think everything in the worst direction, but she didn't know that every word of these words was like a sharp blade, constantly piercing Ji Hengran's heart.
He didn't feel angry, he just felt heartache.
Heartache like never before.
He even took several deep breaths to ease the discomfort for a while, and then pulled out his handkerchief and gently wiped her tears with extremely gentle movements.
"Don't cry......" he muttered.
Ji Ran dodged his hand, and then turned around with a bow, curled up in the quilt, crying uncontrollably.
She has never been such a crying woman, but for some reason, today's tears just can't be stopped.
"You're leaving me, aren't you?" She cried and asked, her voice soft, like a wronged child, "You killed Ji Yue and said that she was a traitor, I believe it, but ...... Even if she betrays the master, at least she will still be with me, now what? I don't have anything left......"
Ji Hengran was bewitched by her words and crying, so he lost his square inch, and wanted to compromise like this.
But this hesitation failed to overcome reason after all.
He had to adjust his mood repeatedly to overcome the distress.
She still closed her eyes and asked sadly: "Have you ever been a moment when you really think I am family?" Why am I always the one you abandoned? ”
What is this?
Ji Hengran was guilty and distressed, and finally couldn't help it, pressed her shoulder, and forced her to look at herself.
"Don't cry, don't be cranky, I won't abandon you, never." He also lay down, held her with the quilt in his arms, and coaxed her to his heart.
"No, you will." Ji Ran also knew that she must be very embarrassed, but since she chose to say it, she simply said everything in her heart, although she couldn't solve the problem, but at least she could feel more comfortable.
"Your plans are constantly changing, aren't they? I guess at first, you wanted to kill me, right? That's why you bully me so unscrupulously, because you know, I'm not important, I won't live the day your brother comes back, will I? But later, when you found out that the Emperor was far more jealous of your brother than you thought, you had to keep me and try to lower his vigilance with our adultery. And now, because of this child, you have a better plan, which is to take your place with this child. And you, with your brother, can run far away and no longer care about our life and death, right? I really admire you for your wishful thinking that counts everyone into it......"
She muttered and said ideas that were half fact and half speculation, Ji Hengran listened to it, and didn't speak for a long time.
After that, Ji Ran pushed him away fiercely, lay on the pillow, and cried uncontrollably.
This cry really made all the entanglements and grievances in the past few months cry clean.
She didn't even know when she fell asleep, she only knew that when she woke up again, Ji Hengran was no longer around.
She was half-imprisoned and half-captive in the courtyard by him, and was forced to stop all the healing medicine and start to recuperate.
He never entered her door again, as if she were not pregnant with his child, and as if he had never known her.
Even so, Na Ji Ran simply pretended not to know him, and only kept the fetus in the house safely, and didn't ask anything outside the window.
However, when she was more than three months pregnant, someone suddenly came to the palace, saying that she was asked to enter the palace.
Sun Guiji wants to reward her with a person.
