Open and upright...

"Of course it's good to be open and upright! Of course, I also want to come back openly. Being open and upright is not easy!" Sometimes the blood river flows behind the open and upright piece of tissue paper is not less than when the war broke out, it's just one flows outside and the other is hidden inside.

Zhou Jin held Xu Shu's shoulder and smiled bitterly. He understood Xu Shu's concerns and understood Xu Shu's mood. However, this matter had been thought of countless times in his mind. There was never any unnecessary choice in the battle between royal power. Since he chose this path, he had to make the worst plan. "I once thought about it, and my mother also thought about it, so my mother would keep giving medicine to the emperor's uncle, so that he could succeed him without children, and no successor to the throne. Naturally, the ministers would ask me to welcome me and return to the court. Of course, I could come back openly!"

However, in order not to let the imperial physician realize that the emperor had been given medicine, the dosage of the medicine was very light, so she gave Liang Shufei the opportunity to give birth to a eldest prince. Now that Empress Zheng has the fragrance of Xu Shu, she has successfully given birth to a prince. Now that Xu Shu returns to the capital again, it is a matter of time before Empress Zheng gives birth to a prince. Even though she has already moved her hands and feet in the incense that the queen uses, the medicine will take years to be effective. Now the emperor is getting older and is a little overwhelmed with the harem and is busy with government affairs. She goes to the harem less and less often. She doesn't know when the medicine will work. Even if it works, there will be successors in the throne. It is not the turn of Zhou Jin, a son of the late emperor who is a qualifying person, to sit down.

"But now the eldest prince is adult and is about to marry a concubine, and the concubines he serves around him are pregnant. Even if the eldest prince is no longer a good match, for the royal family, the descendants are the greatest. As long as the concubine gives birth to a son, the decree of the heir will follow!" Once the heir is established, Zhou Jin will be far apart in his reputation. Zhou Jin is very clear that he will not wait until the dust is settled before taking action. At that time, everything is too late!

Queen Mother Fu was so cautious that she could not defend against the emperor, but not Liang Shufei, so she asked Concubine Liang to give birth to a eldest prince. When she guarded Concubine Liang, she still couldn't defend against the eldest prince. Who would have thought that the eldest prince would be so ridiculous that she dared to secretly talk to the palace maid under the nose of the Empress Dowager? She had a secret knot... Even though this fetus made the emperor ecstatic, Queen Mother Yu Fu and Yu Zhou Jin were shocking news.

"That child cannot be born!" Xu Shu suddenly spoke calmly.

"You..." Zhou Jin looked at Xu Shu hesitantly, his eyes flashing. What does Xu Shu mean? Could it be that she wants to...

"I am innocent, I will not do anything! But others will never tolerate it! The queen will never allow the position of the prince to fall on the head of the eldest prince!" The queen's voice that was almost mad was still resounding in her ears. Xu Shu knew that the queen's obsession was useless. She knew that blocking was useless, but it was better to add fuel to the fire. In fact, from some perspectives, the queen's purpose and Zhou Jin's purpose were many similarities.

"I know what you mean!" Zhou Jin breathed inexplicably relieved. Xu Shu had seen cold blood. He really couldn't imagine what a person who could even sacrifice his life would do. Even if Xu Shu was lying on his knees like a weak and harmless rabbit, behind the weak was a cat that could stretch out sharp claws at any time. Once Xu Shu stretched out her claws, it would be a bloody ending.

When Xu Shu returned to the capital, the queen rekindled her fighting spirit and wanted to continue to give birth to a legitimate prince. Naturally, she did not want to see the eldest prince be named the crown prince. Even if the eldest prince was named the crown prince, she would still be the queen mother one day, but she would have to stand the two palaces with Liang Shufei. The power was transferred downward, which was something she didn't want to see or tolerate. Therefore, Xu Shu thought that the queen would attack the palace maid who was pregnant with the eldest prince's child. The chances of that child being born safely were too slim.

"But I can't take this risk!" However, Zhou Jin is not like Xu Shu. Xu Shu is good at plotting people's hearts, so there will be someone doing many things for her without her own actions. However, Zhou Jin is different. Compared to the uncertain and unpredictable human hearts, he is more willing to believe in real things. He never puts hope on others. Years of life of licking blood at the edge of a knife made him only believe in what is held in his own hands. "I can't hand my destiny into others' hands!" Especially Zhou Jin's fate has been tied to the fate of countless people. Zhou Jin cannot take this risk. He cannot use the lives of thousands of people to block an illusory existence.

If the palace maid had been lucky enough to be pregnant in private, such as a filthy palace, no matter whose child the palace maid was pregnant, it would be beaten to death! But now the royal family is thin, and the palace maid is now the person holding the entire Zhou clan. As soon as I learned that the palace maid was pregnant, the Empress Dowager immediately moved the palace maid into the side hall of Cining Palace, and ate and lived with the palace maid, for fear that the palace maid would have a mistake in the belly. Not to mention how many palace maids were there, there were four imperial doctors who were in the fetus, and they took turns to take the pulse of the palace maid four times a day, so that the palace maid must ensure that the palace maid had a safe delivery.

Even if the queen regards the palace maid as a thorn in her eyes, how should the queen remove the thorn in her eyes with layers of protection from many people? How could the queen remove the thorn in her eyes without affecting herself? This is too difficult. If there were such a method, Queen Mother Fu would have done it long ago without waiting for it until now.

"Then do you believe me?" Xu Shu lay on Zhou Jin's knees and suddenly asked softly, her voice soft and calm.

"Believe!" Zhou Jin did not hesitate. If he had not believed in Xu Shu, he would not have come to Xu Shu at the beginning. Even though he knew that Xu Shu's heart was as deep as the sea and was unpredictable, it was also pure and righteous. Xu Shu never did anything contrary to morality. She always believed that she would repay her every time. She never easily received favors, but once she received favors from others, she would definitely do her best to repay them.

Sometimes Zhou Jin couldn't help but wonder whether Xu Shu was really in her heart. He always took the initiative. He first showed her feelings to her, but she never clearly expressed her feelings to him. Occasionally, a few love words that made him feel itchy were still the ones that he could not help but said them. He always went to see her, and she never took the initiative to give him a few words...
