"There are so many people in this kingdom. How are you going to kill all of them?" Lu Liangwei chuckled. Seeing him fall silent, she suddenly got up, sat in his lap, put her arms around his neck, and cooed, "I know you're doing this for my sake, but there's still a month until I'm due. What if Mother could help curb the disease at the frontier?

"Just let Mother go to the frontier, please?"
"Junzhi?"
"Darling?"
Lu Liangwei coaxed him again and again.
When he remained unswayed, she even slipped her hand underneath his clothes.
