Chapter 240 I Have Only One True Heart (Part )

Su Liuyue pretended not to notice, smiled slightly, and said, "You often went to the Imperial Garden before, just to see how the gardeners planted and cared for flowers and plants, right? But these precious medicinal herbs are no different from ordinary flowers and plants. Even if you find the most suitable place for them to grow, and water and fertilize them every day, it is unlikely that they will survive.

Besides, you can't keep doing this kind of petty theft. Your mother should have taught you that this kind of thing is wrong, right?"

The starting point of all this child's actions is his mother.

Once he grasped this point, there was no way he could ignore her words.

The Sixth Prince suddenly became anxious. "Mother... Mother taught me not to do such things, but... I overheard Xiaoyue and the others saying that the imperial doctors in the palace were unwilling to properly treat my mother. They said that although my mother's body was not good, she had been fine for the past few decades. How could she suddenly become so ill? It must be... It must be that her body was depleted, and there were no good herbs and supplements to replenish her body..."

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved and sad his face became, and his eyes turned red. "I was so afraid that my mother would die, so I borrowed a few ginsengs from her. I will return them in the future!"

King Liang couldn't help but sneer and asked, "How are you going to pay it back?"

The Sixth Prince's face immediately turned red, and he bit his lip and said, "I...I will return it to you when I grow new ginseng!"

But when he thought of what Su Liuyue had just said, that these precious ginsengs could not be grown by ordinary methods, his face couldn't help but darken.

Su Liuyue smiled faintly and said, "Would you like to take me to see the ginseng you planted? Although I don't know how to plant ginseng, if you really want to grow it yourself, I might be able to help you find someone with experience in growing ginseng and ask him. If all goes well, you will be able to help your mother plant a lot of ginseng in the future."

Although this does not guarantee that ginseng can be grown.

But didn’t she say, if everything goes well?

The Sixth Prince stared at her in a daze for a long time, and Su Liuyue waited for him patiently.

Finally, he let go of the tree he had been hugging, walked out slowly, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, I'll take you to see it."

Except for Chen Shiya, everyone else looked at Su Liuyue with great admiration.

The King of Chu couldn't help but chuckle, "Second sister-in-law still has a way."

Prince Liang laughed even louder and said, "Second sister-in-law, if my second brother hadn't refused to let you go, I would have wanted to dig you out and bring you to the Dali Temple!"

It was not until she saw the Sixth Prince's entire face that Su Liuyue realized that although the child was thin, he was quite handsome and had a pair of phoenix eyes exactly like Zhou Yunke's.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, stood up, and said, "Let's go."

Except for Chen Shiya, the others came along just to join in the fun. They naturally didn't have the time to coax the children, and they all said they would wait here.

Chen Shiya was in a complicated mood and was even more unwilling to go with them.

Zhou Yunke didn't even look at them. He walked up to Su Liuyue, held her hand, and said, "Let's go. I'll go with you."

Su Liuyue turned her head and looked at him with a slight smile.

Prince Liang, who was standing behind them, leaned leisurely against a big tree. Seeing this, he shook his head and said, "I almost forgot that we were gathered here today for the wedding of my second brother and his wife. I didn't expect that my second brother also has such a tender side."

Chen Shiya took a deep breath and turned her head away, unwilling to look. The King of Chu looked at their receding figures and smiled faintly, "Fourth brother, that's because you haven't met a woman you truly love. Anyone will have this side in front of someone they truly love."

On the other side, Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke knew that the people behind them were discussing them, but they rarely paid any attention to them.

The Sixth Prince was obviously a little afraid of Zhou Yunke. He walked in front all the way, looking back from time to time to glance at Su Liuyue cautiously.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but feel puzzled, and whispered: "I see that you brothers are all generous and confident. Even the King of Chu can be described as gentle and elegant. Why do you become so timid when it comes to the Sixth Prince?"

"Because Xiaoliu was born during the most turbulent years. After he was born, my father was basically on the battlefield and had no time to take care of him. My father's backyard was also in chaos during that time, with all kinds of wives and concubines fighting and scheming against each other. Xiaoliu might not have been my youngest brother, but during those years, any woman who got pregnant in my father's backyard was unable to give birth safely."

Zhou Yunke said calmly.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but look at him with a frown.

What he said was clearly one of the dirtiest and cruelest things in the world, but there was no emotion in his words, as if he was used to such things.

She paused and whispered, "That's right. During that time, your Zhou family had already made a name for itself in the chaotic world. Although my father had not yet openly revolted, anyone with a little insight could see that he had the ambition and ability.

Therefore, there must be many women and their families who want to establish their own roots in the Zhou family before yours becomes a great success."

From this perspective, it was not easy for the Sixth Prince to survive in such a harsh environment, and it was inevitable that he would develop such a personality.

Zhou Yunke sighed and said, "You are right."

Su Liuyue suddenly raised her lips and smiled, "Then wouldn't I be the Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway to pick the fruits of your Zhou family? Those women who have been eyeing you for a long time have probably been cursing me behind my back for a long time."

There are so many people plotting against His Majesty, not to mention his adult sons.

As his only legitimate son, Zhou Yunke had so many military achievements, making him a very popular person.

Like Chen Shiya, hasn't she been staying by his side, trying to pick this huge fruit of his?
Zhou Yunke lowered his eyes and looked at her, then he smiled and said, "You may have overestimated me. Although I am the legitimate son, my mother's family is just a merchant family, so not many people were optimistic about me.

Even if there are really many people targeting me, their efforts are in vain. I am not the emperor. I have secretly sworn since I was a child that even if I want to get married, I will only marry one woman in this life. I don’t want my wife to be in constant fear and forced to scheme against other women.

I have limited energy, I only have one sincere heart, and there is only one person that can fit in my heart."

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look up at him.

Although he had said before that he could be with her forever, she didn't really take it to heart. After all, she still didn't believe he could do such a thing. Although he had mysophobia and had been a virgin before, he was the future emperor. Instead of hoping that she would be the only woman by the side of the future emperor, she might as well focus on her career and have more people to rely on.

Putting your hopes on another person is the most foolish thing to do.

But this does not mean that she would not be moved when she heard Zhou Yunke's clear statement.

If it was said that his tone was somewhat nonchalant when he spoke to her about something like this before.

Now, she could tell that his expression was serious.
