I'm Pregnant with the Regent's Offspring (BL) [ChatGPT Translated]

Chapter 48

In the pavilion, only Chu Zhaoyou and Xiao Heng were left suddenly.

"This king's heart is under the Gu poison," Xiao Heng suddenly revealed.

Chu Zhaoyou nodded awkwardly, "I know, it was the late emperor who used the poison."

Xiao Heng asked in a deep voice, "Since you know, do you not wish for this king to cure it?"

Being with Chu Zhaoyou was a great temptation. Even if it meant going through fire and water, Xiao Heng would give his all for a glimmer of hope, but not at the cost of betraying himself or inserting a third person between them.

Refusing Miao Ruoqiu was one thing, but if Chu Zhaoyou did not want him to be cured, did that mean his life was worth far less than a fraction of the country in Chu Zhaoyou's heart?

Thinking this, Xiao Heng's throat moved slightly, almost letting his anger burst out in a mouthful of blood.

This misunderstanding was too great. Chu Zhaoyou hurriedly clarified, "I am not stopping her from saving you, but her method is wrong. I know of other ways."

Suddenly, the scene before him brightened, the ice and snow melting away. Xiao Heng's breath stopped for a moment, feeling as if he was standing on ice, with dark currents flowing beneath his feet, like a sign of the ice melting in spring.

"Do you know what you are saying? Have you considered the consequences?" Xiao Heng struggled to keep himself calm, giving Chu Zhaoyou another chance.

The words were spoken by Chu Zhaoyou, who did not want to consider the possibility of being deceived.

If Chu Zhaoyou lied to him in this matter, what would be the point of living another seventy years?

Before today, he was reluctant to have Chu Zhaoyou bear the consequences of the Gu poison with him. After today, whether alive or not, Chu Zhaoyou would have to accompany him relentlessly.

Since Chu Zhaoyou dared to speak out, what else did he have to fear? The price was not borne by him alone, was it?

The antidote to the Gu poison was like a key, releasing the fierce beast that Xiao Heng had long suppressed in his heart. Once the cage was opened, it vowed to pounce on Chu Zhaoyou and not let go.

The fierce beast glimpsing the light of day would not care if the key was real or fake.

Whether it was real, protecting him from all storms and guarding the mountains and rivers, or fake, anyone who approached the cage pretending to open it would be torn to shreds and swallowed.

Xiao Heng looked at Chu Zhaoyou, who had red lips and white teeth. Every inch of this person's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be engraved in his heart, and every word and action of his was exactly to his liking. He cherished and protected him so dearly and secretly, fearing any harm coming to him, giving his all, even fearing that after his death, the country might not be stable for fifty years, ensuring his safety throughout his life.

In the past, during numerous arguments, the regent prince learned to compromise, and even in this situation, he was willing to give Chu Zhaoyou another chance to reconsider. Chu Zhaoyou inexplicably felt that the regent prince's gaze was restrained and fierce, not quite happy. He nervously pursed his lips and said, "I am telling the truth."

"When the late emperor's underground palace was blown open, the bones were dragged out of the coffin by Eunuch Zhang. I saw an iron box on the ground, inside of which was a copper scroll detailing the matter of the Heart-Linking Gu," Chu Zhaoyou fabricated.

Xiao Heng reacted quickly, "He was afraid I would desecrate his body, so he left something behind to plead for mercy?"

Xiao Heng's eyes cooled, the late emperor protected his own bones tightly, but unfortunately, he was afraid of dirtying his hands. Half of the truth is the most real, and Chu Zhaoyou began to fabricate, "Yes, the copper scroll says that if the regent prince reads the solution, the late emperor will be able to rest in peace. The solution to the Heart-Linking Gu is attached at the end, it is a prescription, and I memorized it."
