"Smoke. Smoke."
His voice was incredibly hoarse, filled with an indescribable tension and deep emotion, which brought tears to Li Yunyan's eyes.
She gently cupped his face and found that he looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his lips were dry and chapped.
"Have you stopped eating, drinking, and sleeping since that day?"
Ying Huai didn't speak, and Li Yunyan knew that he had tacitly agreed.
She muttered, "Go and eat all the tea and snacks on the table right now! Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore!"
Seeing her throwing a little tantrum, Ying Huai finally felt relieved and obediently took the teapot and snacks from the table and sat down by her bedside to eat.
His gaze remained fixed on her face, never leaving it for a moment.
Li Yunyan smiled slightly and watched him eat.
After he finished eating, Li Yunyan pouted again, "If you torture yourself like this, what will I do if I wake up but you're still lying down?"
He was a little flustered and confused. His mind hadn't rested for days, and he couldn't quite process what was happening. He said blankly, "I was just thinking that if you died, I would go with you. I didn't think of anything else."
Afraid of upsetting her, he quickly added, "But before I die, I will definitely kill that poisonous woman first!"
Li Yunyan was so angry she laughed. She wanted to punch him, but she was afraid of knocking him down, so she could only whisper, "I already told you to trust me, I already said I would be fine!"
He smiled a little foolishly, took her hand and kissed it, saying, "Yes, you'll be alright!"
Li Yunyan sat up, gently nestled into his arms, and said softly, "Have you seen our three sons?"
"I see them. They are all growing well and are very healthy."
Seeing that his reaction wasn't even as happy as He Beiyi's fake father, Li Yunyan asked doubtfully, "Don't you like children?"
Ying Huai lowered her eyes and honestly said, "I like it, but I regret it because the child caused you to suffer such a disaster."
She kissed him and said domineeringly, "You can't regret it! I especially love children, and I want to have many, many children with you!"
He said blankly, "We already have three, that's enough!"
"It's not enough! Because I want to be with you for many, many years to come!"
She told the truth, but he will never understand.
He assumed she meant that because they were going to be together for many, many years, it would be inevitable that they would have children.
"By the way, how is Xiangxia?"
"She is still in the Imperial Hospital. She has woken up, but her injuries are too severe, and she will not be able to return for a while."
"Xiangxia suffered this misfortune because of me. If possible, try to save her life."
"I know, don't worry."
Li Yunyan was relieved and nodded, "Then you should go and rest. It breaks my heart to see you like this."
Ying Huai should have gone to the Imperial Hospital to accompany He Beiyi, but these are extraordinary times, and he can stay here to protect her.
He nodded. "Okay, I'll go upstairs to rest. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, go ahead!"
He climbed onto the roof but didn't fall asleep immediately. Instead, he lay down in a spot where she could see him and just watched her.
Li Yunyan also lay on her side, looking at him.
Gradually, they all fell asleep peacefully.
Ten days later.
Suddenly, a large number of imperial guards stormed into the Empress's family and wiped them all out.
The empress herself was imprisoned in the imperial palace's dungeon.
Three days later, He Beiyi announced at the morning court that the Empress, together with her family, had murdered the imperial heir and plotted against the concubines. The evidence was conclusive, and the crimes were heinous. The entire family was sentenced to beheading!
I heard that many people went to watch the execution, and there was one particularly horrifying scene!
When the empress's head fell to the ground, several wild dogs suddenly appeared from nowhere and tore and bit her body. Later, even her head was taken away somewhere!
The people were abuzz with discussion, and the final conclusion was that the empress had committed so many evil deeds that even the Heavenly Lord couldn't bear to watch. He specially sent several celestial dogs to desecrate her body, so that the wicked would not fall into the cycle of reincarnation and continue to do evil in the next life.
The empress suffered the consequences of her evil deeds; even after death, she was disgraced and unable to reincarnate.
Li Yunyan expressed her satisfaction with the result.
She smiled nonchalantly and poked Ying Huai's chest, asking, "Did you do it?"
"Um."
He never hid anything from her, and honestly said, "I had someone apply medicine to her body and hair beforehand, and then during the execution, I let the trained dog pass over. It was that simple."
That really felt good. Li Yunyan kissed his chin. "You did a great job!"
Ying Huai held her tightly, "I only regret that I didn't kill her sooner, so that you would suffer so much!"
“No!” Li Yunyan shook her head. “Killing her alone is not enough to vent my anger! This outcome is the best!”
Ying Huai, still shaken, said, "Yan Yan, you really scared me to death this time! I will never let you be in such a dangerous situation again!"
She hugged him back and said sweetly, "From now on, all our days will be good days!"

After Li Yunyan finished her postpartum confinement, she became energetic again.
Xiangxia also returned from the Imperial Hospital. Fortunately, she had taken many supplements during Li Yunyan's pregnancy, which made her very strong, so even though she was seriously injured, it didn't damage her fundamental health. She just didn't look as lively as before.
Li Yunyan secretly gave her a Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill, and sure enough, she was just like before the next day!
In a few days, it will be Li Yunyan's coronation ceremony.
Li Yunyan didn't actually have any strong desire for this position, but rather than letting someone else take it and then plotting against her, she preferred to take it herself.
At least she won't harm anyone.
When He Beiyi came to tell her the news, he looked much more haggard than before.
"Your Majesty, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
He Beiyi looked somber. Yuan Qing glanced at His Majesty's face and said to Li Yunyan, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but after His Majesty confirmed that the handkerchief contained a drug that would prevent him from having children, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. Fortunately, Physician Lin was a miracle worker and His Majesty was out of danger!"
No wonder!
After working hard, without interruption on holidays, and at the cost of exhaustion, for several years, not only did you not receive a single penny of salary, but you later found out that the company you were working for was a shell company!
Anyone would be furious!
Feeling depressed, He Beiyi reached out and pulled her into his arms, finally feeling a sense of reality in his empty heart.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Qing immediately dismissed the servants and considerately closed the door.
He Beiyi held her for a long time without saying a word, so Li Yunyan could only let him hold her without moving, thinking that she should break this situation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she would be overwhelmed just dealing with Ying Huai's jealousy.
