My husband, who abandoned his father and kept his son, actually wants me to be his concubine.

Chapter 151 Disbelief in the "Husband-Killing" Theory
Throughout the journey, Lu Jinshi was filled with both worry and joy. She was happy that Rong Yi had finally woken up, but worried that it might just be a temporary relapse before his death. She wondered if getting close to Rong Yi would bring him further trouble.

They entered the East Palace.

Lu Jinshi knelt down and bowed to the seated Emperor and Empress, saying, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

Empress Rong smiled faintly at Lu Jinshi and said, "No need for formalities, rise. Yi'er has finally woken up, and he wanted to see you as soon as he woke up."

"Mother." When Xiao Zhang'er in Empress Rong's arms saw Lu Jin, he pouted and cried.

Seeing the tears in Zhang'er's eyes, Lu Jinshi couldn't help but miss her too, and stepped forward to take Zhang'er from Empress Rong's arms.

"Zhang'er, I'm sorry."

Xiao Zhang'er cried in Lu Jinshi's arms.

Lu Jinshi quickly hugged Xiao Zhang'er and comforted him, "Don't cry, little one. Mother is here, little Zhang'er is good."

Empress Rong glanced at Emperor Huiyuan and sighed deeply.

Lu Jinshi coaxed the crying Xiao Zhang'er to sleep, handed Xiao Zhang'er to the wet nurse, and then went into the inner hall.

Rong Yi, who was lying on the couch, had woken up, but his face was completely pale.

Lu Jinshi walked step by step to Rong Yi, knelt down and bowed, saying, "This humble woman, Lu Jinshi, greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Rong Yi took a deep breath and said, "I never said I wanted a divorce. I won't acknowledge anyone who writes the divorce papers for me. You want to regret leaving me? It won't be that easy! Cough cough! Cough cough..."

Banxia, ​​who was standing to the side, said repeatedly, "Your Highness, you must not get emotional. You have injured your lungs and internal organs. You should rest and recuperate."

Lu Jinshi looked up at Banxia, ​​then at Rong Yi and said, "Your Highness, this is His Majesty's decree."

Rong Yi frowned and said, "You may all step back."

The imperial physicians exchanged glances, not daring to be disrespectful, and said to Lu Jinshi, "If Your Highness is unwell, please summon us immediately to treat you."

Lu Jinshi replied, "Mm."

After the imperial physicians, eunuchs, and palace maids had all left, Rong Yi frowned and said, "I was on the verge of death, and you've gotten your wish? You look better than usual."

"Yes, I got what I wanted." Lu Jinshi said calmly, "I never wanted to marry you in the first place, and now I can rightfully divorce you."

Rong Yi glared at Lu Jinshi and said, "Lu Jinshi, it was always my fault before. Isn't saving you with my life enough to make up for my mistake? You are truly heartless. Have you never cared about me at all?"

"Yes!" Lu Jinshi said coldly, "I don't care about you. I only married you because you are good-looking and I could have a good-looking child with you. I never thought about marrying you. Now that His Majesty has issued an edict to depose the Crown Princess, our marriage is over."

Rong Yi pulled Lu Jinshi's hand. Although he was very weak, he still used all his strength to pull Lu Jinshi into his arms. Rong Yi kissed Lu Jinshi's red lips and held Lu Jinshi tightly with his hands.

Lu Jinshi endured Rong Yi's kiss with tears streaming down her face.

After a long while, Rong Yi slowly released Lu Jinshi and said, "The idea that she is a jinx to her husband is utterly absurd. How could you believe it?"

With tears streaming down his face, Lu Jinshi said, "But we've only been married a short time, and you've indeed suffered this great calamity."

Rong Yi said, "If anyone is to blame for this calamity, it's my third brother. What does it have to do with your cursed fate of bringing misfortune to your husbands? Are you really going to divorce me at this time?"

With tears streaming down her face, Lu Jinshi said, "You woke up after I was divorced. It was the same with Shen Xing last time. He was on his deathbed when I broke off our engagement, and he woke up as soon as he was on his deathbed."

Rong Yi said, "That's because Shen Xing is unlucky and has a bad fate. I'm different from Shen Xing. I was able to wake up this time because of the imperial physician's skillful treatment, not because you want a divorce from me!" Rong Yi gripped Lu Jinshi's hand tightly and said, "If you want a divorce, I will never agree to it!"

Lu Jinshi said, "But... what about His Majesty..."

"Father's orders are useless. I almost lost you once because of Father's orders. This time I will not compromise."

Lu Jinshi stepped forward and pushed Rong Yi's hand away, saying, "Rong Yi, let's believe in fate. Perhaps it's best if we don't become husband and wife. Since Zhang'er has already been named the Crown Prince, let Zhang'er follow you. I won't leave Chang'an City. Whenever you have time, bring Zhang'er to the academy to see me..."

Rong Yi frowned and said, "When did you become so foolish?"

Lu Jinshi bit her lip and said, "You can call me foolish if you want, but Rong Yi, I don't want to suffer the pain of losing you again."

Upon hearing Lu Jinshi's words, Rong Yi coughed twice, then grasped Lu Jinshi's wrist with great joy and said, "You care about me, don't you? You love me, don't you?"

With tears streaming down her face, Lu Jinshi looked at Rong Yi and said, "Yes, I love you, but because I love you, I can no longer marry you."

Rong Yi frowned deeply.

Lu Jinshi reached out and touched Rong Yi's face. "Zhang'er is still young and can't be without his father. The child in my belly hasn't even met his father yet, and there's me... Rong Yi, I don't want to lose you either. Even if we don't become husband and wife in the future, we can still be together."

Rong Yi looked at the red lips he had just kissed; most of the lipstick was gone, revealing Lu Jinshi's lifeless lips.

Rong Yi gave Lu Jinshi a thumbs-up, wiping away her tears. Her makeup gradually came off because of the tears, revealing her swollen and bruised eyes...

Rong Yi asked, "Have you not slept well these past few days?"

Lu Jinshi looked at Rong Yi with tears in her eyes, choking back sobs as she said, "How can I sleep well if you haven't woken up?"

Rong Yi said, "Come up."

Lu Jinshi got into bed and held Rong Yi tightly in his arms, saying, "Rong Yi, let's not be husband and wife from now on. Let's just live like this. It's fine. At least I won't bring you bad luck."

Rong Yi said, "I have never believed in those sayings about women being unlucky in marriage. If you do believe in them, we can go to a Taoist temple another day and see if there is a way to resolve it."

"Now, you can sleep peacefully in my arms."

Lu Jinshi had indeed been extremely tired and exhausted these past few days. Seeing that Rong Yi had woken up, she was temporarily relieved and gradually fell asleep while holding Rong Yi in her arms.

After about half an hour, the imperial physicians outside, having heard no movement from inside, came in one after another.

Rong Yi kept only the female healer Banxia and told everyone else to leave.

When Banxia looked at Lu Jin in Rong Yi's arms, she couldn't help but sigh. These ancient people were really superstitious, actually believing in this saying that a woman was destined to bring misfortune to her husband.

This must have been a tragedy for women in ancient times.

However, Banxia also felt sorry for Lu Jinshi. Such a beautiful young lady, only twenty-one years old, yet she had to suffer the pain of being called a jinx.

Lu Jinshi slept in Rong Yi's arms for a long time. She was awakened by a dream. After waking up, she quickly reached out and touched him.

Lu Jinshi got up and saw Rong Yi with his eyes closed. He carefully checked Rong Yi's breathing.

"His Highness is not dead."

Lu Jinshi heard a woman's voice and turned to see Banxia. She remembered that Banxia was the female physician who treated Rong Yi. "Has Your Highness fainted again?"
