Chapter 838: Collapse

She was simply crazy. She said that she wanted a child.
She didn’t want any love. She only wanted a child, and this child would only follow her. She even said that this child wouldn’t destroy things between him and Su Xiaoling. They just had to pretend that this child didn’t exist.
Zhou Heng was really shocked. He naturally did not agree.
Once they had this child, how could he pretend that he did not exist? Once he had this child, how could he and Su Xiaoling be the same as before?
He would not agree. He could not agree.
Therefore, in the past six months, Sindili had been thinking of ways. She was still rational, but he knew that Sindili’s Patience would eventually be exhausted. Therefore, the matter between him and Sindili had to be resolved.
When Su Xiaolu returned, Sindili targeted Su Xiaolu. This was also an opportunity to make Su Xiaoling and the children leave for a while so that he could resolve this matter in peace.
He didn’t want Su Xiaoling to know about such a disgusting thing.
“Your Highness, actually, if you agree with me, everything will go smoothly. You know that I only want a child. I don’t love you. I won’t pose a threat to the crown prince consort. If it were other women, they wouldn’t be like me. They’ll do everything they can. I know you’re very careful, but who can guarantee that you won’t be tricked one day?”
Sindili looked at Zhou Heng and said bluntly.
She had indeed changed her mind, but she only wanted a child.
This child was what she and Jiang Wei could rely on in the future. The world had changed, and she and Jiang Wei would grow old one day. At that time, without children and descendants, who would protect them?
This was her original intention for wanting a child. It was very simple and pure. As long as Zhou Heng satisfied her wish, everything would be the same as before.
As for the child, she and Jiang Wei would raise him themselves and take care of him.
As long as one had money, they could have many wives. Other people could have many children, but why couldn’t the Crown Prince accept her?
She loved Jiang Wei so much, but she was willing to do this.
Sindili was a little resentful, but she was even more puzzled. If the world could change so much, why was Zhou Heng still the same?
Sindili was furious that Zhou Heng was so stubborn.
Zhou Heng sneered softly. “Since the princess says so, there’s no room for negotiation.”
If there was any leeway, Zhou Heng did not want to make Sindili his enemy.
However, if Sindili did not change her mind, he would not be able to be her ally.
Sindili’s expression also darkened. “Your Highness, even if you don’t have to touch me, you won’t agree to it? I’m just trying to get pregnant. I don’t want to do it either. It’s just that in the current situation, I have to have a child!”
“You don’t have to touch me. You just have to give me some of your seed—”
The anger in Sindili’s eyes could no longer be suppressed. She was already so submissive.
“I’ll write a divorce letter. The princess can return to the Li Dynasty or stay in the Great Zhou.”
Zhou Heng looked at Sindili calmly. His answer was decisive enough to cut off Sindili’s fantasies.
This was also his decision.
Sindili clenched her fists, but she did not feel the pain when her fingers dug into her flesh. She gritted her teeth and said, “What if I say no?”
Zhou Heng’s eyes turned cold. “Then I can only apologize to the princess. If the princess doesn’t want such a dignified ending, I can only be your enemy.”
The ten-year agreement had been broken. The current Sindili would not die. It was impossible for her to stay. Even if he gave Sindili the greatest dignity, this would not do. He could only let her go and form a grudge.
Sindili never expected Zhou Heng to be so determined. Her expression relaxed and her tone softened. “What reason are you going to use to divorce me?” Zhou Heng said without changing his expression, “We don’t get along.”
In short, he didn’t like her.
Sindili’s eyes darkened.
She took a deep breath and said, “Let me think about it.”
Zhou Heng stood up and said calmly, “Then please consider carefully before making a decision, Princess.”
He gave Sindili time to consider.
Zhou Heng stood up and left.
After Zhou Heng left, Jiang Wei closed the door. She walked to Sindili’s side and hugged her gently.
Sindili instantly let go of all her tension. She said with difficulty, “Jiang Wei, what should I do? People who are not strong are destined to not survive in this world. Even if we don’t provoke them, trouble will find us. How can there be peace in this world?”
She was no longer willing to be the fish on the chopping board.
Ten years ago, she couldn’t be autonomous. Now, she still couldn’t.
This suffocating feeling was not good at all.
Jiang Wei reached out and gently stroked Sindili’s hair. There was sadness in her eyes. In such a world, she did not have any special abilities. Jiang Wei, who was supposed to protect the princess, needed the princess’s protection instead.
How good would it be if it was the previous world? She and the princess could escape and become a happy and carefree couple. They would not have to worry about money and could live freely and die with each other.
But now, money was not enough. If they were weak, they would be swallowed up.
Ordinary people’s lives were difficult.
Those who were weak were destined to be beaten up.
Sindili cried. Jiang Wei did not say anything and only patted her shoulder gently.
Sindili gradually stopped crying. She took a deep breath and said, “Jiang Wei, I still have another way. This is a method I don’t want to use, but I have to use it now.”
“Jiang Wei, I will find someone else to get me pregnant and treat this child as the Crown Prince’s. It’s not like he didn’t come to me. It’s normal for me to have a child. Those ministers also want to see a woman other than Su Xiaoling give birth. ”
Sindili whispered her idea.
This was the last method she was willing to use. Giving birth to a child was a necessary path. It was best if Zhou Heng was willing to cooperate with her. If he was unwilling to cooperate, this method had to be used.
As long as she did it secretly enough, even if Zhou Heng knew that the child was not his, he could only endure it.
And it was enough that the public would believe that her child was the Crown Prince’s.
Jiang Wei’s heart ached. “Princess, I’m sorry. I’m useless.”
Sindili shook her head. “Jiang Wei, it’s not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the Gods.”
“If only I hadn’t chosen the Crown Prince back then.”
Sindili regretted it. If she had known that the world would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have chosen Zhou Heng. She should have chosen someone else.
Jiang Wei sighed.
The princess had already carried too much burden on her back, but there was nothing she could do. She could only stay by the princess’s side to make her happier.
After that, Sindili would occasionally invite Zhou Heng over to sit down with the excuse of answering him. However, when Zhou Heng went, she would find an excuse to fool him. Her goal was only to let Zhou Heng stay in her courtyard for a longer time.
Zhou Heng was enduring, but he returned empty-handed time and time again. He was not in a good mood.
“Your Majesty, the Wisdom King is here. He’s waiting in the main room.” A guard came to report.
Zhou Heng’s eyes darkened. “Invite him over..”
