"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place." Chu Heng was cruel and unmoved.

He can't keep this child.

Luo Shu cried desperately, sobbing every word: "I have been living for others all my life, for my father and brother before I got married, and for the emperor after entering the palace... But I am a living person, and I also have What about the life I want to have? Who knows the pain and sorrow in this? I don’t want to fight, I just want to have one that is just for me. My own child, I just want to live for myself once, just once... As long as I have a child, I can accompany her to grow up, teach her to read and learn etiquette, and she spends long nights with me in this deep palace compound. Do you know how envious I am every time I see you children acting coquettishly and talking in front of your mother? But...why, why is it a boy..."

When the Luo family became more and more powerful, and she was constantly favored but still unable to conceive a child, Luo Shu finally found that she was feared by the emperor. She removed all contraceptive items from the palace and went to great lengths to conceive a child. After that, she was afraid that someone would find out that she would not be able to save the child, so she pretended to be seriously ill and stayed in bed to recuperate, and she gritted her teeth even when her brothers visited.

At that time, she naively thought that as long as she gave birth to a girl, she would be able to find a way to keep the child with her, but it backfired and all her plans were ruined by the gender of the child.

Boy, that's a boy.

As long as his existence is discovered, the emperor and queen will kill him. If the brothers want to use him to seek power, the child will have no peace in his life.

Luo Shu's desperate bet ended up being a complete loss.

She was desperate, but she did not give the child to her brothers. Instead, she prepared to send the child out of the palace quietly and become an ordinary person. But now, Chu Heng was standing in front of her. The future prince would not let the child live, he would definitely kill him.

"I'm sorry." Chu Heng whispered, then pushed her hand away and walked towards the child on the bed.

Luo Shu was shocked. She stumbled over and ran over, grabbed Chu Heng's clothes and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, no, you can't kill him. He was just born and he hasn't even had time to open his eyes to see the world..." No, he is your brother, he is you His blood relatives are also your future subjects. Don’t you love the people as your own children? Please let him go, Your Highness. I can take this child away with you. You can give him to whomever you want to raise, as long as you keep him alive. ...Your Highness, please..."

Chu Heng pushed her away again, and he stretched out his hand towards the child's neck...

"Your Highness!" Luo Shu suddenly stopped him loudly. Her face was full of tears, and she asked sadly and painfully, "Have you forgotten... that I once saved you?"

When Luo Shu first entered the palace, she was the only one favored. All the concubines in the palace called her a coquettish woman who seduced the Holy Heart, and no one wanted to associate with her. Over time, everyone said that she was difficult to get along with and was cold and heartless.

But the eleven-year-old Chu Heng once accidentally injured the legitimate son of a royal family because he was competing with others. Chu Heng had always been obedient, but this time he suddenly made a big mistake and caught up with the emperor's mood during those days. He was irritated and was punished to kneel in the imperial garden for a whole day. After kneeling, he had to go and receive eighty boards.

The queen never cared about the emperor's decision. It was Luo Shu who interceded for him and spared him the trouble and the penalty of kneeling.

The young man remembers that kindness.

Luo Shu saw it. She stood next to the bed and blocked the child. She trembled her lips and whispered softly: "Your Highness, the sages' books you studied must have said that you must repay kindness, right?"

Chu Heng was silent.

This is what the book says, but he is not so ignorant, "I will repay your kindness in the future, but not in exchange for this child. The price is too high, I can't afford it."

Luo Shu's face gradually turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "Does Your Highness insist on forcing people to do this?"

Chu Heng shook his head and told her: "You should have expected today since you planned all this."

Luo Shu cried. She cried and suddenly laughed: "Your Highness, when you grow up, you will be a good emperor in the future. It's just... I'm sorry..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly took Chu Heng's hand and pushed her hard before he had time to react.

"呲——" was the sound of a knife entering the body.

In the dark night sky, a bolt of lightning struck, illuminating her determined and beautiful face.

Chu Heng's eyes widened. He lowered his head and saw a dagger in his hand. Luo Shu held his hand and stabbed the dagger into his heart.

"Boom--" The thunder came with a muffled sound that made people's eardrums hurt.

Chu Heng shouted in shock: "Concubine Shu!"

He wanted to withdraw his hand, but Luo Shu didn't know where the strength came from, so she pulled his hand and pushed it in again. Blood overflowed from her chest and mouth...

Luo Shu's face was illuminated by lightning, and his face, the most beautiful in the world, was covered with blood and tears. She has always been kind to others in her life and has never done a bad thing. But now in order to save the child's life, I had to be cruel and said in pain: "Your Highness, I saved you, but you repaid me with revenge and tried to kill my child. How can you be worthy of me?"

Chu Heng's hands were trembling, his eyes were filled with blood gurgling from Luo Shu's body, and these words were lingering in his ears.

"No, that's not it. I'm not here to kill you...I don't want to repay kindness with hatred..."

Luo Shu took her last breath, tears mixed with blood and fell down, leaving behind her last words in the world: "Your Highness, you killed me. This is what you owe me. You must pay me back."

…

Chu Heng's defenses collapsed. Although he was fifteen years old and had great martial arts skills and had learned the art of being an emperor since childhood, he had never killed anyone. The woman who died in front of him had helped him before.

"No, I didn't kill you... I didn't come to kill you, how could this happen, how could this happen?"

Chu Heng's hands were covered in blood, and he was at a loss. His legs were weak and it was difficult for him to stand. But he didn't dare to fall, because Luo Shu was lying on the ground. She died and died with her eyes open...

It was too tragic.

Chu Heng collapsed. He picked up the child on the bed. The baby's eyes were not open, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. He didn't know that his mother was dead.

Chu Heng held him and stumbled out, but was stopped by the black-clothed boy who suddenly appeared at the door: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive."

The boy came in with his back to the light. Chu Heng saw his face clearly under the lightning, and also saw the person he trusted most: "Zong Zhao... I, he, he is just a child who knows nothing. He is innocent, he is innocent."
