Chapter 92.1
Xian Sheng looked at Zhan Zhen, who was confused at the moment and retracted into the quilt again. Zhan Zhen was sitting at the end of the quilt, which made him a little unable to stretch his legs, so he tried to lift it.
The little squeamishness wasn’t strong enough. Zhan Zhen noticed it and immediately got up and climbed over. He said, “Why don’t I love you? I care about you.”
“You don’t listen to me, don’t believe me, don’t respect me, so you don’t love me.”
“ … Why are you making trouble without reason?” Zhan Zhen put his hand on his shoulder and was slapped away. He retracted his hand and said “Think about it, you are no longer alone and Qin Yi is a lunatic. He knows that you are a man, in case love turns into hate , what should I do? Have you thought about it?”
“I told you so much, but you didn’t listen to a word I said.”
“You just listened to your husband.”
Xian Sheng pulled up the quilt and said, “You do not need to explain anything to me, I am tired of it.”
Zhan Zhen frowned. He opened the quilt and lay in, closed his eyes, but couldn’t help but open it. He turned his face to see Xian Sheng, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug him.
Xian Sheng was forced to face him, his expression a little cold: “What are you doing?”
“I have been busy today, I haven’t had a sip of water, so be a little more considerate, don’t make trouble, okay?”
Xian Sheng pursed his lips: “Making trouble? Zhan Zhen, what do you take me for? An unreasonable shrew?”
“You know that’s not what I mean.”
“I don’t know.” Xian Sheng said coldly: “I just told you so much, but you didn’t listen to a word i said.”
“I’m just afraid you’ll get hurt.”
“Even if I die. , what does it have to do with you?” Zhan Zhen’s face was ugly, but Xian Sheng became more and more angry: “Zhan Zhen, Let’s make it clear. I am firstly the prince of South Liang and secondly your so-called wife. I know exactly what I am doing. I have to do this, it is my means to save myself, and you are doing something to hurt me as a protector.”
“How could I hurt you?”
“Zhan Zhen.” Xian Sheng said seriously: “If I didn’t get a diagnosis with the happy pulse that day, what would you do?”
At that moment, Zhan Zhen remembered that after praying for blessings, under the coercion of his father, the feeling of powerlessness that filled his body with hatred for his incompetence.
“You can’t answer.” Xian Sheng pushed him away, distanced himself from him, then sat up and said, “You said you love me and will protect me, all you rely on is the power of your father. He is the one who holds the power over life and death. You are blind and naïve because you have not walked on thin ice like me. You think that one day your father emperor will kill me and other people will kill me, can you really take care of me?”
“I…”
“You can’t.” Xian Sheng turned his head to the side, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes: “You and I are just lambs to be slaughtered, at best you can save your life. Zhan Zhen, now you are just an immature prince, not a real emperor, you are not qualified to promise me, you are not qualified to ask me to trust you. You said you want to protect me and make me feel at ease, but in fact you are just pouring sedatives on me. When that day really comes, you can only block them by standing in front of me like the day of prayer for blessing… Do you think it’s called protection? No, it’s self-impression at best and it’s still very stupid in the end.”
Zhan Zhen’s Adam’s apple rolled, his face changed unpredictably and he gently squeezed his fingers.
“You never listen to what I say” Xian Sheng put his hand on his stomach and said, “This time, this calamity was solved by this untrue child for me. I am very grateful to him, but it does not mean that I am really willing to give birth. You said that if I wanted to, I could let it go but have you ever thought about how your father would treat me without him? Zhan Zhen, I didn’t say much before because I didn’t think I could live long and at the same time I thought you were smart enough to figure out the situation. To be honest, I was really touched when you stood in front of me, but it was really stupid that you gave up the crown for me.” Xian Sheng looked at him and said, “Now you are going to be a father, it’s time for you to mature. From now on, you must have a long-term vision and pave the way for our family. You must grow up, to the point where one day, even your father will be afraid of you. You are father and son, I am not encouraging you to turn against him, but if you want to protect our family, you must not be so blind and arrogant. The throne of the emperor, even if you sit on it, you will not necessarily be able to hold onto it, let alone you’re just a prince now.”
For a person to sit in a high position; doesn’t necessarily need to be justified.
Zhan Zhen lowered his head, his eyes were deep and gloomy and he didn’t answer.
Xian Sheng looked at him for a while, then gently stretched out his hand and said, “If Qin Yi didn’t come to kill me, it would be a hidden danger until you ascended the throne.”
The soft palm covered Zhan Zhen’s clenched fist. He quietly looked at the thin, white and weak hand. After a long time, he slowly covered it and said, “I’m just worried.”
“What I said were all treacherous words.” Xian Sheng calmed down his emotions, leaned over again, climbed onto his lap, lay in his arms, looked at him and said, “Are you angry?”
Zhan Zhen’s eyes are black: “Not angry, just scared.”
Xian Sheng touched him, a faint smile floated on his soft lips, and he said very lightly: “Sending your father emperor a letter of submission is my way of showing loyalty and it is also a way to balance the relationship between you father and son. I don’t want one day for you to lose your Crown Prince position and I don’t want to give your Father emperor or the officials a chance to denounce you.”
“When you were in South Liang, Did you used to think so deeply?”

Wow, this chapter had such intense dialogue! Thank you so much for such a great translation!
The tone between them seemed so different. I’m also enjoying this book so thank you for translating it.
Uh, my heart. I can understand their thinking, but this dialogue was really intense!
Don’t worry about us, Your real life is more important! Hope everything will be alright at Your end ^^
Thank You for the new chapter!
Sometimes I feel annoyed with MC. What he did is logically reasonable but I can’t help myself to dislike how he treats ML. I want to like him but I can’t. I don’t even know why I don’t like him. I guess because he acts spoiled.
I just can’t believe these are just 18 or 19 year old teenagers. XS don’t scold our puppy like that he just don’t want to loose you!! 😭
The way Xian Sheng reprimand Zhan Zhen is very intense i feel like I’m in Zhan Zhen’s shoes.
I can understand both of their feelings, and XS’s words gave me more insights to their situation. Although sometimes XS being a bit unfair to ZZ, ZZ also need to be tougher if he really want to protect his family.
ZZ has been told this by XS numerous times, only XS compromised coz ZZ is so spoiled and naive. This is why i keep saying that XS deserve someone wiser, but ig XS will be the person to push ZZ to maturity. Like the last question is basically a concrete example of ZZ ultimately knowing nothing about XS after all these up and downs…i mean, dont we remember ZZ also asking XS to think for a plan coz ZZ’s best plan was XS to pretend he died lmao
Also i just want to remind readers who side with ZZ that XS has been at the edge of the cliff since day 1 while your so called puppy thought with his junior and have never considered that maybe, just maybe XS had 2 countries weighing down on his shoulders. Even the empress reminded ZZ that their “marital problems” isnt just between them coz people are getting killed and will be killed whenever they have friction coz XS is from a conquered country. XS always had to mind even his clothes when he presented himself to both states. Yet somehow it is XS who is unreasonable and spoiled—im venting coz XS is literally going thru the motions as a cisman who is suddenly “pregnant” and his “worried husband” won’t listen to reason simply coz he is worried.
He never had to really consider the 2 countries. He only cares about his own, his family, his brother. I’m not saying he is wrong, just a bit more pragmatic. If that means he deserves better, take him away, by all means. I’m not attached to him at all.
Saying ZZ is not mature is wrong, it’s just the author who wants to position the MC on a higher level. He portrays him as the best, the prettiest, the wisest, the most intelligent… how did he gain all that, I guess from suffering all his life, or better he is born a genius… This is just ridiculous to make a character that’s so cheated. But that’s only my opinion. :p
I mean it becomes so predictable. The MC will always be right, the only good solution is the solution that he produces, I’m not saying I dislike this kind of light writing, but I just feel bad for ZZ because he is deliberately made dumb by the author to once again show how great her precious MC is.
They needed to talk their situation out for quite sometimes.. Glad they did..
Xian continues to talk out the side of his neck at every chance. There is no logic in using a pregnant person as bait, when on multiple occasions he was kidnapped and taken already.(if that was such a great idea, why yall haven’t got him yet?) And even if that wasn’t the case, how does ZZ not waiting to use his pregnant wife as bait make him immature and unworthy of being the emperor? Xian just be talking. He gets upset over the smallest shit and then takes any insecurity and exploits it. It’s fine to do shit like that to randoms, when you’re trying to survive but why is the only person Xian tries to make feel small only ZZ? He consistently never has his back and just gaslights him. Xian, has no accountability and once again the author wants Xian to come off wise and strategic so they dumb down ZZ.
