Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 394: Chapter 174: Husband and Wife Reunited! The Crown Prince’s Position Will Surely Be His!

”Do you think that now I am still unable to protect you?” Ying Zheng said softly.

”No.”

Mrs. Zhao turned around, shaking her head gently: ”If I were still alone, I would be willing to go back with you, because I’m not afraid of death.”

”But now with Feng’er, with Ying’er.”

”And my two grandchildren.”

”I won’t let them be in danger.”

”Now that Feng’er has reached this level, it’s enough.”

”If I go back, it will put Feng’er in the spotlight, and they will target Feng’er and the others, even reenacting the past.”

”Do you remember that night in Xianyang City?”

”For that position, they spared no effort.”

”I really don’t want to face it again.” Mrs. Zhao said sorrowfully.

”Xianyang now is not what it used to be, and neither is the current Qin.”

”If they dare to show their heads, I will annihilate their whole clan, I promise you.”

”Don’t you believe me?”

”Moreover...” Ying Zheng smiled, looking at Mrs. Zhao, ”I didn’t come to forcibly take you back to Xianyang this time, just to confirm whether it’s really you.”

Xia Dong’er looked up, puzzled at Ying Zheng: ”How did you know?”

”The Heibingtai Anshi in this residence, I had them make a portrait of you.”

”Efang.”

”No matter what you become, even if it’s just a portrait, I can recognize you.” Ying Zheng said gently, the affection in his eyes undisguised.

”Brother Zheng, you can find someone better.”

”I’m just an ordinary healer.” Xia Dong’er shook her head.

”No, you are the only one.”

”Back then in Handan, we bowed to heaven and earth.”

”You are my only wife.”

”And my future queen, that position is always reserved for you.” Ying Zheng said softly.

In response.

Xia Dong’er still shook her head.

”Efang.”

”Rest assured.”

”I will not let Feng’er and the others be in danger.”

”However, the future position of Crown Prince is definitely Feng’er’s.”

”No one can take it away.” Ying Zheng said to Xia Dong’er with an assuring tone.

”No...” Xia Dong’er instinctively raised her head to object.

”Don’t think about refusing.”

”I want Feng’er as Crown Prince, not just because he is our son.”

”But because there is no one else suitable besides him.”

”Of course.”

”Rest assured.”

”I promise you, I will not let you be in danger, and I am aware of those who stop at nothing to achieve their goals.”

”Therefore, I will let Feng’er ascend step by step, so that he will naturally reach that position, making it impossible for anyone to stop.” Ying Zheng said with determination.

”But...” Xia Dong’er still looked worried.

If she could.

She wouldn’t want her son to take that position fraught with peril.

It seems glorious; it seems that he will wield power.

But in her mind is the embarrassment Ying Zheng faced when he first ascended the throne, unable to control his own fate.

Once he reaches that position, will her son really be happy?

”There’s nothing to ’but’ about.”

”He is my son, with the blood of the Great Qin Royal Family, and since he is the eldest son, he is your son, which makes him the legitimate heir.”

”Everything is in order, no one can oppose.”

”Moreover, Efang...” Ying Zheng looked deeply at Xia Dong’er, ”Feng’er has already grown up, he doesn’t need you to make every decision for him anymore, how do you know he’s unwilling?”

”Perhaps, after knowing he is my son, knowing he is the legitimate eldest son of the Great Qin Royal Family, he might be interested in that position.”

”I promise you.”

”Even if it really comes to that in the future, I will ask for his opinion, if he doesn’t want to, I won’t force him.”

”Okay?”

Ying Zheng looked at Xia Dong’er, speaking with infinite tenderness.

He naturally understood Xia Dong’er’s character, for the sake of protecting her two children, she hid in Sha Village for more than twenty years, to avoid being involved, she gave up everything, even not seeing her father for many years.

All for the protection of Zhao Feng and Zhao Ying.

Back then in Xianyang, she narrowly escaped death, amid chaos and rivers of blood.

No matter how many years have passed, Xia Dong’er will never forget.

It is precisely because of this, Ying Zheng didn’t directly force Xia Dong’er to go back to Xianyang with him because he understood.

However.

This time, Ying Zheng’s words to Xia Dong’er were out of guilt towards her, hence the promise to fulfill his past commitment of the future Queen’s position.

Additionally, it was for the future of Qin.

Fusu, Hu Hai, and the other sons, none of them have the ability to inherit this vast empire.

Among the younger generation, only Zhao Feng.

Once.

Ying Zheng thought, how great would it be if Zhao Feng were his son, that way Qin would have a future heir.

Now.

The wish has been fulfilled.

Zhao Feng is indeed his son.

Born of him and the woman he loves most.

The moment he knew, Ying Zheng’s heart was filled with immense gratitude to the heavens for their protection.

Looking at the gentle yet domineering Ying Zheng before her, Xia Dong’er gazed at him with tender eyes, wanting to refuse but not knowing how.
