Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Gu Shi felt that he had become Lingchuan’s…

Gu Shi felt like a dog eager for his master's approval. He turned over his belly, wagged his tail, and begged Lingchuan to show him some mercy.

But does she really want to?

She walked closer to him step by step, and what he waited for was a hug without hesitation.

He felt as if he were enveloped by a warm cloud.

She rested her chin on his shoulder and kissed his neck.

"I am your wife now. Isn't that enough? What else can you be dissatisfied with..."

He nervously tensed his muscles, hugged her, and kissed her cheek in return.

Yes, that's all he wanted, and that's enough.

The warmth of her body coming from his hand made him fall into a state of confusion, and he simply didn't have enough rationality to process the chaotic information.

Lingchuan is his wife, and she is pregnant with his flesh and blood. He doesn't need to think about anything else.

As long as she never thought of leaving him, he was willing to numb his mind.

"You never thought of leaving me, did you?"

He asked her, just wanting a positive answer, which was his only bottom line.

"Yes."

Lingchuan knew that this was not the case, but still gave a false answer.

"Why...why don't you want to leave me?"

His hands were tightly clutching her collar, and sweat soaked the expensive material. One of his eyelashes stuck into his eyeball, and the white of his eye turned slightly red, revealing a pleading look.

"Because I love you."

She stroked his hair, held his head against her chest, and soothed him.

"good."

He leaned against her helplessly, listening to her heartbeat.

Lingchuan's repeated "I love you" may be a cruel deception, but she must never secretly plan to leave him.

He found that he simply could not accept life without Lingchuan.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had once arrogantly thought that Lingchuan belonged to him exclusively, and no matter how many steps he left her, she would always stay there waiting for him.

Fortunately, it was not too late to mend the situation. He turned back in time and grabbed her firmly before any disaster happened.

Fortunately, Lingchuan was pregnant with his child.

Whether it was by mistake, desire, love, or fate, they had already created a life together.

Gu Shi had no feelings for the child. He did not desire offspring, but only wanted to establish a solid relationship with Lingchuan.

As long as the child is born safely, Gu Shi will become a topic that Lingchuan can never avoid in his life.

The excruciating pain she would inevitably experience during childbirth also meant that she would never be able to forget him.

Gu Shi reached out and gently touched her belly, and couldn't help but look forward to the birth of this child.

From then on, every time she saw her child, she would think of him.

"Lingchuan, will you like my child?"

"To be honest, I haven't thought about it. It's still in my belly and isn't considered a person yet."

She pushed his hand away awkwardly.

"Aren't you looking forward to it?"

"Honestly, there's nothing to look forward to. The birthing process is very painful, and I'm also afraid, but there's no point in being afraid. I just have to let nature take its course."

She said this very calmly.

Gu Shi had a hunch that Lingchuan might not like his child at all.

"Lingchuan, don't you like children?"

"Not really, I just haven't thought that far ahead."

She frowned impatiently, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.

"The kids were jumping up and down, making a lot of noise. When I was little, I climbed a mulberry tree out of greed, but I slipped and fell straight down. I almost became paralyzed."

Lingchuan has not yet established a relationship with the fetus in her belly, and she subconsciously always thinks of this child as a trouble.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's go back first."

Gu Shi's hands couldn't help but tremble, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't help but wonder whether Lingchuan didn't want a child at all, or just didn't like his child?

He carried Lingchuan into the dark secret passage. Lingchuan just snuggled in his arms and looked at him as if he was waiting to be served by a servant. He was so calm that he didn't look like a man who had done anything wrong.

He felt that Lingchuan was sure that he didn't dare to do anything to her, so she arrogantly let go of the spy Qin Sizhao sent into the palace.

Gu Shi wanted to reach out and feel her heartbeat to see if she was really as calm as she appeared, but she slapped his hand away.

She frowned and cursed impatiently:

"Don't touch me."

"Lingchuan, do you know how full of loopholes what you just said is?"

Gu Shi sneered:

"Besides, why would I ever doubt that Qin Sizhao had rebellious intentions? How could a civil official with no roots or foundation, who was powerless, possibly plot a rebellion? He clearly... clearly..."

He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and he couldn't say anything else.

"Don't worry about it."

Lingchuan touched his face, and Gu Shi turned his face away awkwardly.

"Anyway, she's already been released. Tell me the truth, what did she say to you?"

Lingchuan paused and said:

"She came in to give me a letter, but she had destroyed it out of fear. I never saw the contents, so I told her to go back and tell Qin Sizhao to be a good official and serve the court."

Lingchuan never speaks falsely.

"That's it. Don't let me catch you doing that again. I won't let you off easily next time."

Gu Shi's voice trembled a little.

"knew……"

Lingchuan spoke as if nothing had happened.

"You have to pay a price."

Gu Shi frowned, his eyes full of resentment.

"Just owe it to me first, and I'll pay it back after I give birth to the baby."

Lingchuan pretended to be intimate and kissed his face. Gu Shi had to calm down even if he didn't want to. He just felt wronged.

There are many men in the world who are afraid of their wives, but even though he is the emperor, he still only dares to sulk in front of his wife... I am afraid that there will not be another emperor like him in the past two thousand years.

When he came in, he was pulling her aggressively, but when they came out together, he was extremely calm. Gu Shi even felt that he was useless.

The shadow guard stood in the study waiting and asked:

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to release that maid?"

Gu Shi's face was sullen. Just as he was about to speak, Ling Chuan glared at him fiercely. He had no choice but to change his words:

"Forget it, let her go. It's just a misunderstanding, not a big deal."

"As you command."

Lingchuan laughed triumphantly, and Gu Shi felt that she was showing off that she had an obedient dog.

Gu Shi looked at her smile, his heart full of resentment. Not only did she make him suffer so much injustice, but she didn't even think about how to make it up to him.

Jiang Jiuzhou is a simple-minded man who only improves his martial arts every day. He does not have so many twists and turns in his mind. He just knows what his master says and he does it. He honestly walked into the dungeon, opened the door and released Huang Xing.

"Girl, you're lucky this time. You met me... You didn't suffer too much."

"Thank you for your care, big brother."

There were still traces of tears on Huang Xing's face, and she bowed to him politely.

Jiang Jiuzhou, a grown man, really couldn't bring himself to do that to such a delicate girl, so he just pretended to do it.

Huang Xing couldn't help but close her eyes because of the shinning sunlight, and walked out of the heavy iron gate in disbelief.

She lowered her head and looked at her feet as she took steps. She really didn't expect that she would leave so easily. Lingchuan actually saved her so easily.

She really didn't expect Lingchuan to keep his word. It seemed that she was quite proud in front of Gu Shi. He could do this for her. This was definitely not the treatment of a plaything.

She turned around and glanced at the elegant and tranquil palace. Several palace maids were walking back and forth, chatting and laughing, their expressions relaxed and natural.

When the previous emperor was alive, the people kept silent about the royal family and took detours when they saw officials and soldiers.

Nowadays, the treatment of palace maids has been improved, and the palace has become a place where you need connections to enter. The middle-class families in the city who have a little reputation want to send their daughters to work there.

Gu Shi was obviously not a cruel tyrant, nor did he imprison Lingchuan like a toy and torture him day and night.

Is she really willing to give up all the glory and wealth and run away with Qin Sizhao?

She hesitated, not knowing whether she should speak to Qin Sizhao.

She didn't want to sow discord, and she didn't want Qin Sizhao to be misplaced and end up happy for nothing.

Huang Xing's mind was in a mess when she returned to Qin Sizhao's house. He had already prepared several medical books, packed them up and placed them on the table, intending to give them to her as a reward.

"Huang Xing, memorize these books and you can become a female doctor in the future."

She picked up the book and nodded.

Indeed, she was not in love with Qin Sizhao, but wanted to help others like him. She was also literate, so perhaps being a female doctor was a good choice.

She hugged the book tightly, and remembered that she had been detained by the shadow guard just now, and couldn't help feeling scared.

"Master Qin, I've been captured by the Shadow Guard..."

"What?"

Qin Sizhao's pupils contracted.

"Master Qin, don't worry, I haven't confessed anything! And I'm fine, it's just that the letter wasn't delivered... It was Lingchuan who decided to let me go."

She hesitated, not daring to look into Qin Sizhao's eyes, and turned her face away.

"There's something I don't know whether I should say or not."

Qin Sizhao was only startled for a moment, then quickly calmed down.

"Go ahead, it's okay."

"I think Lingchuan and that guy actually have a pretty good relationship... He seems to listen to her in everything."

Huang Xing tried to be as tactful as possible, but she was not good at Tai Chi. She lowered her head and whispered:

"She doesn't seem to have suffered any grievances in the palace. She has everything. Is she really willing to leave him and go with you?"

Qin Sizhao had already made up his mind and just smiled calmly.

"That's fine. The choice is hers. If she breaks her promise, I'll resign and travel the world alone. I won't bother her again. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

But he knew that she would not break her promise and she would definitely take the pill.
