In the evening, Zhu Changxun came back from outside, walked unhurriedly to the main house of the garden, and saw Jiang Shu sitting firmly under the lampstand with red candles burning next to the screen inside the open door.

Guessing that she should be waiting for him, he smiled faintly, stepped up the steps of the corridor in front of him, walked into the door, and closed the door from the inside.

Then, he walked slowly to her and said in a soft tone: "Shu'er, I'm back, when I went out in the morning, I promised to come back to accompany you for dinner, so I left the military department early." ”

"The prince really keeps his promise!" Jiang Shu snorted coldly and stood up abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Through the flickering candlelight on the lampstand on the side, seeing that her face was wrong, Zhu Changxun's footsteps paused slightly, and he was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shu took two steps forward and held the sachet in the palm of his hand to him, "Tell me to wear it every day, don't leave it, and even go under the pillow when I sleep at night, I can't smell such a heavy musk, can't you smell it?" ”

“…… Is your sense of smell restored? Zhu Changxun was slightly stunned.

Jiang Shu didn't answer, stared at him tightly for a while, and said in a deep voice: "When I had a problem with my sense of smell, it wasn't because I had any disease, but because the bowl of pheasant mushroom soup you gave me a drink with medicine to suppress my sense of smell, right?" ”

“…… You guessed it all? Seeing that her expression was determined, Zhu Changxun had no intention of hiding it anymore.

"Why do you want to do this?!" Jiang Shu's face changed suddenly, and he threw the sachet on him fiercely.

"......" Zhu Changxun slowly turned his face away, "I don't like children, I'm afraid you will get pregnant again." ”

"You said you wouldn't lie to me!" Jiang Shu frowned, and strode around in front of him, "When I was pregnant with Hua'er, you were so happy, how could you not like it!" ”

"I ......"

"You don't want me to suffer that sin again, do you?" Jiang Shu was silent for a moment and looked at him fixedly.

Facing her eyes, Zhu Changxun nodded slightly: "When you gave birth to Hua'er, you couldn't give birth for a few hours, listening to your heart-rending screams, watching the basins of blood and water being brought out of it, I stood outside anxious but couldn't do anything, you don't know how ...... that mood is I was thinking, why do you have to take the risk of having a baby, why don't you have children? ”

"Chang Xun ......"

"It's just—" his words took a sharp turn, "and I'm doing it for more than that. ”

"What else?" Jiang Shu asked subconsciously.

Zhu Changxun hesitated for a moment, and a little sadness appeared in his dark eyes: "I don't want my birch to repeat the mistakes I made when I was a child." ”

"......" Jiang Shu suddenly thought of that night three years ago, under the eaves of Si Yuexuan's corridor, what he said about Concubine Zheng After learning the truth about Zhu Changzhi's falling into the water, did he think about why it was Zhu Changzhi who fell instead of him, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

After a pause, she said, "Maybe it's just your suspicion, the concubine has never thought like that." ”

"Those don't matter anymore," Zhu Changxun shook his head slowly, "I only need you and Hua'er, it's enough." ”

"But ......" Jiang Shu lowered his head and glanced at the sachet that fell to the ground, "Such a large amount of musk, once I wear it, it will be half a year, and I am afraid that I will never be able to conceive it again in the future." ”

"Other than that, there's no damage to your body." Zhu Changxun gently raised his hand and took her hand.

"But ......"

"It's enough for us to have Hua'er," Zhu Changxun looked at her sincerely, "If you like children, you will treat Song'er and Qu'er as your own." ”

“…… You are not allowed to do this kind of thing in the future......" Jiang Shu forcibly held back the water beads rolling in his eyes, and his face was solemn.

"Okay." Zhu Changxun nodded again and gently hugged her in his arms.
