"Since you want Ninth Brother to realize his wish so much and ascend to the highest position...
"Today, it can be said that his only competitor is his third brother.
"If I recover, my father will most likely pass the throne to me.
"Because I am the eldest son. According to the custom of establishing elders and virtuous people in Tianzhuo Kingdom, other princes will be chosen unless the eldest son has no talent.
"But... I, Nangong Ji, am not a idiot.
"Once my legs are healthy again, all the officials will support me.
"Aren't you afraid of this? Aren't Ninth Brother worried?"
"This...I didn't think about it that much."
Ye Jingjing smiled and said, "I just thought that we are friends.
"If there is a way to restore your friend's health, why not help and give it a try?
"I believe Zhao thinks so too.
"He has no prejudice against you as a brother and even respects you very much.
“Although he hates Nangongze, it’s not because Nangongze is his opponent.
"It's not entirely because of the battle in Yongcheng that Nangongze killed him, but because..."
Ye Jingjing's face darkened.
"Because of what?"
Nangong Ji was puzzled.
"Because...Nangongze...he...raped me."
Recalling that scene, Ye Jingjing was still very sad, "After that, I became pregnant with Nangong Ze's child...
"Then, he sent Qian Mo to snatch me back from Tianzhuo Palace... He also tried to rape me, and then I had a miscarriage...
"In addition, I suffered internal injuries, so my body is very weak now."
"I see."
Nangong Ji looked at her with pity, "So, you hate Nangong Ze?"
"I hate him very much... I hate him very much.
"I wish I had nothing to do with him.
"I'm not sad at all when that child is lost.
"I wanted to abort him before, but I wasn't 100% sure that I was pregnant.
"Master Ji, do you think I am too hard-hearted for thinking this way?
"After all, it is my own child, and I am a mother..."
"I understand. I can understand."
It is indeed unacceptable for a woman to be pregnant with the child of a man she resents.
