Upon hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, Shan Liuxian gave a wry smile, but said nothing.

He simply picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip.

He looked up and gazed at Guan Zhiyue with deep affection, as if that single look contained all his emotions.

Finally, he smiled calmly, raised his hand in a bow, and left without looking back.

Guan Zhiyue didn't stop her or try to persuade her to stay, after all, wasn't this the best ending?

Everyone has a tribulation in their destiny. The original owner was their tribulation, while her tribulation was them, wasn't it?

Now that everyone has returned to their proper place, what's wrong with that? This is the best ending!

This is the best possible ending. What's wrong with it?

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Bilian walked over from the side and quickly asked when she saw Guan Zhiyue's somewhat pale face.

Guan Zhiyue leaned on the stone table and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing! I just suddenly felt a little flustered."

She forced herself to stand up, looking somewhat exhausted. Seeing Guan Zhiyue like this, Bilian was worried and quickly sent someone to summon the imperial physician.

Guan Zhiyue was already lying on the bed when Li Qiji heard the news.

They also rushed over from the Imperial Study, looking somewhat anxious.

"How is it? What happened to the Empress?"

"How have you all been taking care of the Empress? She's fallen ill in just one day!"

Before Li Qiji even reached the room, he started cursing loudly in the courtyard. His voice was icy and piercing, arrogant and domineering.

The imperial physician sat on a round stool to the side and gently took Guan Zhiyue's pulse. Guan Zhiyue felt inexplicably emotional.

She couldn't explain why this was happening; she couldn't articulate it or describe it.

"Imperial Physician, how is the Empress?" As soon as Li Qiji entered the room, he saw the imperial physician taking her pulse.

The imperial physician quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Hurry up and look at the Empress. What kind of time is this to be doing all this formality?" Li Qiji said irritably.

Physician Li was speechless, but he still quickly continued to take Guan Zhiyue's pulse.

After applying the ointment for about three or four minutes, he said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Li Qiji didn't react in time and roared, "The Empress is in such a state, and you're still congratulating me? Are you out of your mind?"

Imperial Physician Li wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn't dare. He could only quickly say, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant."

These words caused an uproar throughout the room, including among the servants inside and those standing at the door.

Hua Quan quickly took the lead, kneeling down with a thud, and chanted in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiji was very excited. He kicked the imperial physician Li aside and plopped down on the edge of the bed.

Holding Guan Zhiyue's hand and gently stroking it, he excitedly said, "Yue'er, am I going to be a father again?"

"Yue'er, we have a baby again! We have a baby again!"

After hearing Li Qiji's words, Guan Zhiyue raised her right hand and gently stroked her flat stomach.

She's pregnant again, she's carried his child to term again, she's pregnant again.

"Imperial Physician Li, why did the Empress faint?" Li Qiji asked.

Imperial Physician Li quickly reported, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty is too thin and weak."

"After such a long and bumpy journey, it's been over a month now. I suppose my weakened constitution is causing this discomfort."

After hearing what Physician Li said, Li Qiji turned to look at Guan Zhiyue with a reproachful expression, but also a hint of heartache.

"Yue'er, you mustn't overwork yourself, understand?"

Guan Zhiyue nodded to indicate that she understood, but she was still very happy inside.

After all, Li Qiji only has one wife, and she was born into the royal family, so it would be good for her to give him more children.

However, she didn't intend to say this to Li Qiji, to avoid him from acting recklessly again.

It's only been a year, and she even took precautions afterwards.

She's pregnant again; if she were with him day and night, she would have gotten pregnant long ago.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. From now on, I will listen to Your Majesty and promise to stay well and not overwork myself."

He just ate and slept, slept and ate, and grew himself to be plump and healthy.

After hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, Li Qiji smiled and said, "Get up, everyone. You will all be rewarded."

The servants inside and outside the house quickly said, "Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!"

Imperial Physician Li advised, "Your Majesty, I suggest that the Empress rest in bed and stabilize the pregnancy first."

The month is still early, so it's not a good time to announce anything publicly, nor is it suitable to do any strenuous or clumsy work.

After listening to the imperial physician's words, Li Qiji turned to look at Guan Zhiyue.

She said softly, "Yue'er, did you hear that? The imperial physician said you need to take good care of this pregnancy."

From now on, you will lie in bed and have the servants do whatever you want for you.

"If you don't have enough servants in your palace, have the Imperial Household Department send more to you."

Guan Zhiyue was speechless after hearing Li Qiji's words, but she didn't say anything in rebuttal. She could only obediently nod. She was truly impressed!

Although the news of Rosamund Kwan's pregnancy was not widely publicized, the Empress Dowager still received the news.

"Ah, is the Empress really pregnant again?" Empress Dowager Xin asked.

The old nanny Jin, who was standing nearby, said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!"

Empress Dowager Xin was very happy and wanted to get up and go back to the palace to see her, but she was stopped by Granny Jin.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, this is inappropriate!"

"Imperial Physician Li said that Her Majesty's pregnancy is not very stable yet. Let's visit Her Majesty again in three months!" Granny Jin comforted her.

After hearing what Granny Jin said, Empress Dowager Xin had no choice but to give up on this idea.

Now that she has left the palace with Li An and settled down there, it can be considered that their dream of not being able to be together back then has been fulfilled.

Now that the Southern Kingdom is at peace, she and Li An, that pair of unfortunate souls, have finally seen the light of day!

The past is the past; their good times are ahead, even though they've missed so many years.

But the Emperor said something insightful: he only wanted her to live out her old age happily. They didn't understand that before.

Now that they each have their own families, they also hope that their mothers can have someone to accompany them.

He couldn't control his life before, but now that he's a father, he should set a good example for his son.

Xin Peilin sat in the yard, a gentle breeze blowing the yellow leaves from the trees into her arms.

The bright orange leaves seemed to be showing off everything they saw and heard, and were also declaring a farewell to the tree, and a farewell to the past.

They will transform into new branches and leaves, just to wait for next year's companionship, and just to wait for the next encounter.

It was the kind of encounter where we were close together again.
