Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 123 You Can’t Make Me a Widow So Soon

Shen Jing stared blankly at the small hand in his palm, and the strength in his arm couldn't help but relax.

The quilt fell down, revealing her shoulders.

Ji Anyu took Shen Jing's hand and put it on the bellyband strap.

Shen Jing's pupils trembled, his blood boiled, and he was about to collapse. He immediately pulled his hand back, took off his coat and gave it to Ji Anyu.

"The noodles are getting cold, let's eat them." Shen Jing saw Ji Anyu shaking her head, and said calmly with a straight face, "I've been cooking this soup for a long time, don't you want to have a taste?"

Ji Anyu didn't want to disappoint Shen Jing, so she nodded in support.

"I'm just hungry! Eat now!"

Shen Jing couldn't help but smile, subconsciously helped Ji Anyu put on his shoes, hugged Ji Anyu and sat down at the table.

"It smells so good, Jing, you are such a great cook."

When Ji Anyu saw the delicious noodle soup, she put the important matter of having a child aside for the moment and grabbed the chopsticks to eat the noodles in big mouthfuls.

"It smells so good! As expected of a prince, he knows everything."

Shen Jing lay on the table and watched Ji Anyu eat noodles with contentment.

"The Queen Mother and the Emperor came to Prince Zhong's Mansion today. Didn't that scare you?"

"No, I was just surprised. I didn't expect that the emperor would condescend to sit on the throne in place of your father."

Shen Jing's face turned cold, "They are just pretending to be nice to outsiders."

Ji Anyu paused, and when she saw Shen Jing's gaze return to her, she forced a guilty smile.

"Ah Jing, you should eat some noodles too. Don't just focus on me. You should also take care of yourself."

Ji Anyu picked up the unused chopsticks and stuffed them into Shen Jing's hand.

"If you don't eat it now, even if it's delicious noodles, you'll miss the best time and the noodles will not taste good anymore."

Shen Jing smiled gently, "I was afraid that you wouldn't be full with just one bowl, so I made two bowls."

"How can I have such a big stomach? I'm full, you can eat."

Shen Jing picked out the meat from the noodles and handed it to Ji Anyu's mouth.

"Madam has lost weight these days. Eat meat."

Ji Anyu's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth and bit down.

Next, as soon as Shen Jing handed her the meat, she ate it. The two looked at each other in silence until they finished the noodles.

Shen Jing asked casually, "Madam, have you been worried about anything recently? I heard that you didn't sleep well recently and you looked a little haggard."

"No, I just felt it was unreal that I was going to marry you, so I didn't sleep well."

"It's not real...is it because it's different from the previous life in the dream?" Shen Jing stared at Ji Anyu.

He always felt that Ji Anyu was far away from him, even though Ji Anyu was sitting right in front of him.

Ji Anyu was stunned. She didn't expect Shen Jing to suddenly bring up things from his past life.

Shen Jing's eyes were as sharp as torches, and it was impossible to understand the emotions in his eyes.

"Anyu, you said that people have past lives, I believe it, then who did you marry in your past life?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Can't you tell me? I want to know." Shen Jing was hesitant. If Ji Anyu still didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask.

Ji Anyu pondered for a moment, "That man looks a lot like Wei Luoyan, and his family background is the same as Nanhou Mansion."

Shen Jing was surprised. It was Wei Luoyan.

He suddenly understood why Ji Anyu was so against Wei Luoyan.

"Wei Luoyan is indeed not a good man."

"Ah."

Shen Jing saw that Ji Anyu's eyes were clear and without any emotion.

"Fortunately, you have seen through Wei Luoyan in this life." However, Ji Anyu did not have any feelings for him at all, and Shen Jing sighed helplessly.

"Our marriage was originally bound by the imperial decree. I have wronged you. You have already stepped into the royal family's disputes and it is difficult to escape. Today you are the emperor and the queen mother, and tomorrow you will be the queen and the imperial concubine. The road ahead is dangerous, so you must be careful in everything."

Shen Jing held Ji Anyu's hand.

"Let's treat each other with respect during this period. I said that after I finish my great work, I will let you choose the life you like. I will never go back on my word." Ji Anyu frowned.

Who wants to treat you with respect? She wants to be close to you and have a baby as soon as possible.

"Ah Jing, let's talk about the future later. It's getting late, let's go to bed quickly!"

Shen Jing glanced out the window and said, "Yes."

Ji Anyu picked up the corner of Shen Jing's coat to wipe her and Shen Jing's hands, and pulled Shen Jing to the bed.

When Shen Jing saw Ji Anyu rudely unbuttoning his belt, he grabbed Ji Anyu's reckless hand.

"I'll undress myself, you lie down first."

"it is good!"

Ji Anyu immediately took off Shen Jing's coat, threw it at the end of the bed, lifted the quilt and crawled in, turned around and saw Shen Jing in a daze.

She moved in with the quilt and patted the large empty space beside her.

"Come up quickly."

"Well...I'm going to sleep in the study."

"Ah? Why?" Ji Anyu quickly stood up and pulled Shen Jing, "If you and I sleep in separate rooms, how will people outside see me?"

"I'll go secretly, they won't know, and they keep their mouths shut, they won't say anything."

"That won't work. There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. I told you to lie down, so you just lie down! Didn't you say you would listen to me?"

Shen Jing nodded woodenly and lay down nervously.

Ji Anyu approached Shen Jing with a smile, covering Shen Jing like an octopus.

"Ah Jing, are you cold without a blanket? I'm warm, you can hug me."

Shen Jing was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

"I'm not cold."

He closed his eyes and scratched around with his fingers. His fingertips touched Ji Anyu's shoulders. He retracted his hand as if burned. After a while, he carefully reached out again and pulled the quilt to cover Ji Anyu.

"Anyu, can you sleep like this?"

"I can sleep, but I just can't sleep well, especially when I sleep with you." Ji Anyu turned her head and rubbed Shen Jing's neck.

Shen Jing felt his neck was very itchy and his body was hot as if it was in scorching heat.

He was silent for about half an hour, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He asked hoarsely, "Are you asleep?"

Seeing that Shen Jing wanted to be a humble gentleman, Ji Anyu cursed Shen Jing inwardly more than ten times and gradually fell asleep.

Shen Jing didn't hear Ji Anyu's reply. He carefully pushed Ji Anyu away, got up and went out to enjoy the cold wind.

The next day, Qiao Xin knocked on the door anxiously.

"Miss, something terrible has happened. The Duke is gone!"

Ji Anyu twitched in his sleep and sat up suddenly.

"What? Shen Jing is gone?" Ji Anyu wailed. She was going to be a widow before she even got pregnant!
Shen Jing said faintly, "Madam, you heard it wrong. The Duke is gone."

Ji Anyu's crying stopped abruptly, and she turned with tears in her eyes to look at Shen Jing who was sitting at the table with a book.

She sobbed and wiped the tears from her face, then climbed out of bed using her hands and feet.

Shen Jing saw Ji Anyu stumbling towards him barefoot, and stepped forward to catch Ji Anyu.

Ji Anyu jumped up and got on all fours to hold Shen Jing.

"Ah Jing, my husband, you can't die. I can't live without you!" Ji Anyu hiccuped, "You can't let me become a widow so soon."

"I'm not dead." Shen Jing patted Ji Anyu's back helplessly, "I'm fine now, right? Don't cry."

Ji Anyu found an outlet and let out all the fears that had been suppressed in her heart for a while through crying, crying until she was out of breath.

Shen Jing mistakenly thought that Ji Anyu was grieving for the deceased Duke, so he bent his knees and picked up Ji Anyu out of pain.

"I will go with you to the Duke's Mansion to pay my respects."
