Her body shrank back as she spoke rapidly, “Your Highness, the Second Prince, I’m just a concubine, and a concubine’s life isn’t worth much, but I’ve only just spread the ‘good news’ and yet I died in your hands, do you think that the onlookers will not think too much about it?” Her voice was slightly hoarse and permeated by undisguised sarcasm and threats.
“Your Highness is also aware of how important the emperor’s eldest grandson is.”
“Does Your Highness think that the onlookers will not wonder why you would rather not have the Imperial Eldest Grandson and strangle me, your concubine?”
Gu Jing’s pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes turned sinister again.
As if Qin Xin had seized his key point, her eyes immediately lit up astonishingly and pressed on step by step, “They will say that His Highness, the Second Prince, is wearing a green hat, or ......”
She deliberately paused for a moment, her disdainful gaze sweeping over Gu Jing’s lower abdomen.
“Not working at all.”
The four words were said as light as a mosquito’s whistle but it was as heavy as thunder.
Gu Jing: “!!!”
He raised his hand high and was about to strike Qin Xin’s face.
This time, Qin Xin directly stuck her face over, as she word by word said, “Slap me! Feel free to slap me, it’s best to bring the people outside here....”
Gu Jing could not hit her anymore; he could only pause his hand midair, as his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
Qin Xin was right, if she died now, how should he explain to the public!
If there was an extra slap mark on her face right now, he was afraid that Empress Dowager Liu and his mother consort would ask him why he had hit Qin Xin. They do not care about a mere Qin Xin, but they do care about the “Emperor’s eldest grandson” in Qin Xin’s womb.
“......” Qin Xin knew she had made the right bet.
She was actually far from showing such a composure; her back was dripping with cold sweat, so much that her middle coat was soaked.
Qin Xin said in a seemingly calm tone, “The Emperor wants his eldest grandson, and you, Your Highness, also need a child, don’t you?”
“......” Gu Jing could not speak as if he had been pinched, speechless.
The importance of a heir goes without saying, both for the common people and the royal family.
Seeing this, Qin Xin makes up her mind. Knowing that she had once again grasped Gu Jing’s weakness, she told herself that she understood Gu Jing, and she could definitely persuade him.
“Aside from this one in my womb, where else would Your Highness want to get a child from?” She touched her flat belly and looked at Gu Jing smiling. If Gu Jing wanted to have the emperor’s eldest grandson, he had to have a woman, but would he dare let others know of his secret?
Gu Jing: “!!!”
Qin Xin added, “Whether what I said is justified or not, Your Highness can think about it.”
“This child has actually come at just the right time, he will be the ‘rightful’ royal eldest grandson, Your Highness, don’t you think so?”
Qin Xin raised her eyes and met Gu Jing’s eyes.
Gu Jing stood motionless on the spot, with only those sinister eyes flickering brightly and darkly, recalling everything from six months ago in his mind.
If not for Yelu Luan, how would he have ended up in this situation!
This was a humiliation that no man could bear, all of which were brought to him by Yelu Luan and Qin Xin, as well as that wild man...
Gu Jing narrowed his eyes, releasing a thick murderous intent all over his body.
For a moment, Qin Xin almost thought that he would pounce on her regardless, making her heart shrink violently.
However, Gu Jing did not, and with a heavy flick of his sleeve, he opened the curtain to go out by himself.
When the curtain fell again, Qin Xin’s tense body relaxed and took a long sigh of relief.
She knew she had once again made the right bet.
