If there is an afterlife, I hope you and I can find our true family.
While waiting for the palace servants to bring supper, Su Qingli was held on Fu Xuechen's lap.
He pecked her swollen lips again, still unsatisfied. "I promise that from now on, apart from attending to state affairs, I will spend all my time on Ah Li's bed, making up for what I have missed in these years."
A man who just started having sex speaks so...without restraint?
Su Qingli blushed and glared at him, covering her mouth to stop him from saying anything, "Fu Xuechen, stop saying these... dirty words."
"Okay, then I'll do more and talk less in the future." Fu Xuechen picked up the jade chopsticks and carefully picked up her favorite green bamboo shoots and ham. He blew it carefully to cool it down before handing it to her lips. "Come, eat something first."
Su Qingli tasted the food he fed her and her eyes lit up slightly.
I also picked up a piece of his favorite dish and handed it to his mouth, "Hurry up and eat it too."
During the meal, Fu Xuechen thought of something, "Ali, there is something I have never had the chance to tell you."
Su Qingli put down her chopsticks after hearing this, picked up a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. "Well, you talk, I'm listening."
"In fact, the real murderer behind your father's death was Qi Jinqian."
"I should have listened to your advice at the beginning. If I had realized earlier that he was not a good man, perhaps my father would not have died." Su Qingli's eyes were filled with regret.
"I'm not telling you this to make you feel guilty or regretful." Fu Xuechen held her hand, trying to give her strength. "It's just that I told you the other day that Qi Jinqian committed suicide because of you. If you knew he was the real murderer who hurt your father, perhaps you would feel better."
"Fu Xuechen, do you really think that the deaths of Qi Jinqian, my mother, and my brother were all caused by me on purpose?" Su Qingli raised her eyes with a barely perceptible uneasiness.
"I know you're not that kind of person. It's just that due to a series of mistakes, they ended up in destruction." Fu Xuechen's eyes were gentle and focused. "But no matter what you do, I love you, A'li."
These words were like a warm current, instantly breaking down the last line of defense in her heart.
Su Qingli's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed and she hugged him, "Fu Xuechen, I love you too."
Fu Xuechen patted her back and asked with a hint of confusion, "Why don't you call me Ah Chen?"
Calling him by his full name would seem a bit strange.
"Because you are mine, the one and only Fu Xuechen." Su Qingli held his face and kissed the corner of his lips.
Just one sentence made Fu Xuechen's mouth curl up.
"Are you full? Then it's my turn."
The next morning.
Seeing Fu Xuechen coming back from court, Su Qingli softly asked him to accompany her to see her mother and younger brother.
Fu Xuechen nodded and immediately ordered the palace servants to prepare carriages and horses and prepare sacrifices.
Su Qingli looked at the tombstone in front of her, her heart feeling neither sad nor happy, but clear and calm.
"Mother, brother, this is the first and last time I come to see you."
She gently put the offering down.
"The bond of our blood ends today. I leave all that you have given me here. I will live this life well. You... rest in peace too. If there is an afterlife, I hope you and I can find our true family."
…
After returning to the palace, Su Qingli was entangled by Fu Xuechen and dragged to the couch again.
He really kept his word. Apart from attending court and handling government affairs, he devoted almost all his attention to her.
Because she didn't want the palace servants to see the wet bed, Su Qingli ordered Fu Xuechen to drink it all up every time.
This "dry mouth" became an unspoken code between the two.
Later, whenever he wanted to get close to her, Fu Xuechen would put down the scroll or memorial in his hand, with a playful yet doting smile in his eyes, "My mouth is dry again."
Knowing that this poor excuse could be seen through at a glance, Su Qingli indulged it wantonly.
On this day, Su Qingli, with a slightly blushing face and eyes full of spring water, was carried out of the bedroom by Fu Xuechen and brought to the desk where she usually handled memorials.
Just leaned over, trying to unlock new and unusual moves.
Su Qingli frowned, and drops of blood flowed out from between her legs.
Fu Xuechen's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and his voice was torn and distorted by extreme fear: "A Li...what's wrong with you? Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly."
The imperial physician took Su Qingli's pulse through the curtain, his expression changing. Finally, he stood up and bowed deeply to Fu Xuechen, his tone filled with hesitant joy and deep caution.
"Your Majesty, I… congratulate Your Majesty. The Queen seems to be expecting, but the period is still young and her pulse is not strong."
The imperial physician, sweat dripping from his lips, carefully considered the least offensive words. "Your Majesty, I'm deeply sorry! Your Majesty's pregnancy is unstable, most likely due to abdominal compression or severe concussion. To accurately diagnose the condition, I would like to ask Your Majesty... How often have you and Your Majesty been in sexual intercourse recently? Have you engaged in any violent sexual activity recently?"
Fu Xuechen was afraid that something might happen to Su Qingli, so he didn't hide anything and said anxiously, "Normally, it's about seven or eight times. Just now... just now it was really intense. What's going on with the Queen and the child? Are their lives in danger? I want you to protect them!"
The imperial physician had been practicing medicine for decades and was considered knowledgeable, but he never expected that the emperor and empress's private lives were even more absurd than the most erotic stories in the folk!
He didn't dare to dwell on it and quickly bowed his head. "Your Majesty is young and full of vigor, which is normal. However, Your Majesty's pulse is different now. For the next few months, please...purify your mind and desires and abstain from sexual intercourse for the time being to protect the dragon fetus. I will go and prescribe a prescription to stabilize the fetus and strengthen the vital energy."
Su Qingli had already woken up and was secretly happy about the little life quietly growing in her belly. The next second, she heard the conversation between the two people outside clearly.
Suddenly, a surge of hot blood rushed to her cheeks, burning her ears red!
"A-Li, are you feeling better?" Fu Xuechen strode in, his face full of regret and fear, and hugged Su Qingli tightly. "I was careless. I will definitely be more careful in the future. If you do this again, you can stop me."
"Okay, you didn't mean it."
Su Qingli took his large but slightly trembling hand and gently placed it on her still flat belly. "Can you feel it? Although it's still small, it's right here."
When their palms touched the place where their flesh and blood were nurtured, all the fear and self-blame seemed to have found a home in an instant, turning into a strange and huge feeling of emotion.
Fu Xuechen's eyes instantly moistened, and his voice choked with sobs: "Ali, thank you for giving me, a lonely person, a real home and a family connected by blood."
"Fu Xuechen, thank you too." She raised her head and kissed his jaw, her eyes filled with complete trust and entrustment. "Thank you... for being willing to be my husband and the father of my child. From now on, we will be the closest people to each other."
A few months later, the news that Empress Su Qingli had safely given birth to a legitimate son quickly spread throughout the court and the country. This not only meant the deep love between the emperor and the empress, but also symbolized that the country's foundation was solid and the dynasty would be continued.
Fu Xuechen was overjoyed and immediately issued an amnesty for the whole country to celebrate.
Their story continues, and the misunderstandings, pains, separations and obsessions they once experienced will all turn into the enduring love legend between the emperor and the empress that will be passed down through the generations.
