"...Zhou Jin..." Xu Shu's nose felt sour, and her voice became dull, "I'm going to die, I don't want to drag you down..." She finally told the secret in person.

"Bah! Don't talk nonsense, you won't die..." I won't die so soon, Zhou Jin's eyes darkened, "How can it be a burden? I don't know how happy it is to marry you. Today I returned to the palace and issued an imperial edict. I am afraid that if I hesitate, I will not be able to make up this decision, and I will not be able to force you..."

"From the time when I knew I wouldn't live long, I was determined not to owe anyone or anything, and I could leave without any worries. But by accident, the bond between me and you became deeper and deeper. Every time I was cruel to break with you, I couldn't do it in the end. Later, I finally spoke out with Zhuang Li's mouth, but because of Zheng'er... My illness is getting worse and worse, but my heart is getting softer and softer. I am greedy for you to give me warmth, and I don't want to disturb your life. I..."

Xu Shu pinched her forehead weakly. Since Zhou Jin knew everything now, she began to try to reason with Zhou Jin, "Zhou Jin, look, my body is already like this. I really can't do it as a queen. Whether it is managing the harem or raising children..."

"Xu Shu!" Zhou Jin bounced Xu Shu's forehead in anger. He said to Xu Shu for a long time, but Xu Shu didn't listen to a word! "The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no room for turning around! Just wait to get out of the box honestly! I said everything, you have said everything, even if you die, you can only use my wife's name!"

Xu Shu sighed. It seemed that there was no way to convince Zhou Jin this time. Zhou Jin talked to Xu Shu about his plan with great interest, "You just wait for marriage. As for the malfunctions in the harem, if the Queen Mother Chun'an helps you share the burden, don't worry, as for the offspring... The royal family's offspring has always been very thin, and Yingzong only had one daughter, Qing and the eldest princess, in his life. No one would blame you if you have children or not..."

"Yes, I don't know how long I can live..." Xu Shu laughed at herself, "I can't live for long, can't you make me live a little easier?"

"With me here, you don't have to worry about anything!" Zhou Jin touched Xu Shu's head, "Your illness... Mr. Qin will definitely have a solution..."

Xu Shu shook her head gently, without any extravagance. "When I was a child, the doctor said that I could only live to the point of living, at most I was only twenty years old. I am already eighteen this year..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Zhou Jin hugged Xu Shu, "I will do everything possible to make you live!"

"What would you do if I die?"

Zhou Jin hugged Xu Shu's hand tightened, "You won't die!"

"Don't do this! You know that mine is the truth. Maybe it's a year or two, or at most three or five years. I will leave you. You are still young. In the next few decades, I will not have my existence in your life. I just want you to get used to life without me earlier..."

Thinking that Xu Shu would eventually leave, Zhou Jin's hands couldn't stop trembling. This helpless frustration made his heart tightly clump, and no one could fight against death, no one could do anything!

"Ahem..." Xu Shu was hugged too tightly and couldn't help coughing twice. Zhou Jin immediately became nervous, "Are you okay?"

Xu Shu frowned and shook her head, "You hug too tightly!"

Zhou Jin hurriedly let go of his hand, and Xu Shu wanted to say something. Before he opened his mouth, Zhou Jin, who had guessed Xu Shu clearly, stopped her, "If you want to say anything to make me change my mind, just give up your thoughts, don't even have to think about it!"

Xu Shu indeed closed her mouth in disappointment and yawned.

"Do you want to drive me away?" Seeing Xu Shu showing a sleepy look, Zhou Jin shook his head helplessly. Xu Shu was indeed not giving up! He knew everything now, and Xu Shu actually wanted to persuade her. Her temperament was so awkward. In order to prevent him from dragging him down...

"No, it's just..." Xu Shu suddenly remembered something, "Can you let Mr. Qin and those two imperial chefs go back? I don't like to be around the servants, I'm not used to..."

"No!" Zhou Jin refused very simply, "Although it's a little late, you still can't neglect it! From now on, starting with the care of diet and medicinal materials will always be beneficial to your body!"

No matter how beneficial it is, it is powerless to win the will! But Zhou Jin also has good intentions. He is more concerned about himself than she himself...

"Forget it... Then keep it!" Xu Shu thought of the two frightened imperial chefs, and felt a little overwhelmed. Today was really a day of exhaustion...

"You always have to get used to it. If you become a queen, there will only be more people around you!"

Queen... Queen...

Xu Shu breathed quietly. She still remembered that she had promised Gao Zhinan that she would not be the crown princess. She did not become the crown princess, and she became the queen directly...

"Life in the palace must be very lonely..."

"I'm with you!"

"I……"

"Um?"

"nothing……"

Xu Shu wanted to say something, but in the end she held it back.

"We are about to get married, so we should be honest and hide nothing!"

"I... forget it! Go back! I'm going to sleep!" Xu Shu suddenly became irritated for no reason, "Go away!"

Zhou Jin looked puzzled, but seeing that it was getting late, he stopped staying, "Get a good rest! Tomorrow, the Bureau of the Ministry of Rites will work with the people from the Ministry of Rites to measure their bodies, and also formulate the styles and patterns of auspicious clothes. It will be more tiring in the next few days!"

"Um……"

Xu Shu nodded and looked at the corner of Zhou Jin's clothes far away. She suddenly felt unhappy. It was really troublesome. Before Zhou Jin came, she obviously hated Zhou Jin to death, but after Zhou Jin came, she immediately calmed down after saying a few soft words... She actually cared more about Zhou Jin than she thought...

Alas, let Zhou Jin go and let herself go!

After putting down the knots that had been around for a long time, Xu Shu slept very hard that night. The next morning, she was woken up by her maid, "Miss, it's time to get up. The imperial chef has made breakfast. If you don't eat it, it will be cold!"

Xu Shu yawned and smelled the smell of bird's nest porridge, as well as red bean soup, date silk paste... It was so rich!

Xu Shu had breakfast according to her normal appetite with a calm mind. Fortunately, the two imperial chefs did not send any new food, and Xu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
