Zhou Heng was also shocked. Sindili was really pregnant.
The imperial physician might have been bribed, but what about Su Xiaolu? Sindili would never be able to bribe Su Xiaolu. Her ability was not enough to bewitch Su Xiaolu.
Zhou Heng's voice was trembling. "Xiaoling, believe me. The child isn't mine. Nothing really happened between us."
"I'm with you every day. It's impossible for something to happen between her and me."
Zhou Heng was extremely anxious. He was afraid that his explanation would be too weak, afraid that Su Xiaoling would not believe his explanation.
"Before the new year, the children and I left the palace."
Su Xiaoling closed her eyes, her heart dead.
Zhou Heng's heart ached too. He covered Su Xiaoling's hand with trembling hands and choked. "That's because I was worried that she would harm you and the child, so I arranged for you and the child to leave the palace."
