"You Ran's knife struck her right in the abdomen. The imperial physician said that even if she survives by chance, she may not be able to have children in the future."
In a daze, Li Youran was about to say she was thirsty when she vaguely heard voices talking.
"As long as I can wake up, even if I'm bedridden, let alone have children."
Tang Lei's deep voice rang out, and Li Youran's thoughts became clearer. She frowned, but still could not break through the heavy clouds and could not open her eyes.
"If You Ran never wakes up, are you willing to take care of her for the rest of your life?"
Upon hearing Tang Lei's words, Liu Zhiyuan, as if possessed, asked the question that had been troubling him.
To be honest, he really couldn't guarantee that if You Ran didn't wake up, he could take good care of her for the rest of his life.
"nature."
As Tang Lei spoke, he glanced at Li Youran on the bed. He would gladly give his life for Youran, let alone take care of her for the rest of his life.
He blamed himself for being too slow to react that day and failing to save You Ran. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart again.
"Brother Tang is so devoted to You Ran, I am truly ashamed."
Liu Zhiyuan sighed. Perhaps he really couldn't compare to Tang Lei's deep affection for Li Youran.
Putting everything else aside, he probably couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't have children.
Although he didn't care whether You Ran was a virgin or not, being unable to have children was the greatest act of filial impiety, and he really had no face to face the ancestors of the Liu family.
For some reason, Li Youran, lying on the bed, felt a warmth in her heart, and the oppressive feeling on her body disappeared. She opened her eyes easily.
She slowly glanced at Tang Lei and Liu Zhiyuan sitting at the table, then focused her gaze on Tang Lei.
What a strange man. He's clearly very affectionate, but he always has a cold face and even inexplicably gives her the cold shoulder.
"Thirsty."
Li Youran spoke softly, her voice barely audible, but Tang Lei turned around immediately.
Li Youran forced a smile, and Tang Lei was slightly taken aback when he saw her wake up.
She was a step too late for Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan had already poured a cup of tea and was about to take it to Li Youran, but then he seemed to remember something and paused.
He turned around, as if making an even stronger decision, and handed the cup to Tang Lei.
"Go ahead, you're more deserving than me."
After Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving only Tang Lei and Li Youran in the room.
Tang Lei walked towards Li Youran with a water glass in his hand. He first put down the glass, and then tiptoed over to gently help Li Youran up.
Li Youran's body was extremely soft. After touching Tang Lei's hard chest, she did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she was surrounded by a sense of security.
Li Youran seemed to sense Tang Lei's restraint. She took small sips of water, finding it quite amusing. This man was really awkward.
Li Youran was unaware that she had slept for a full half month. Now that the emperor had abdicated, he was content to sit as the retired emperor, spending his days meditating and cultivating with Daoist Qiufeng, refining elixirs, and ignoring everything else.
His Highness the Crown Prince has already ascended the throne. Although it hasn't been long and there are many troublesome matters, overall, everything is still under control.
"You Ran, what are you really thinking? Tang Lei is a rare and devoted man in this world. If you are interested in him, I will ask the Emperor to grant you two a marriage."
Now that the Crown Princess is the Empress, she leaned back on the phoenix chair and looked at Li Youran, who was lying to the side pretending to be asleep.
“I don’t want my brother-in-law to arrange the marriage. I want to wait for him to propose to me personally, otherwise I won’t marry him.”
Li Youran yawned and casually said something, unaware that Tang Lei had just walked in.
"I am tired. Please help me back to rest."
The Empress, heavily pregnant, swayed as she walked out, not forgetting to turn back and chuckle at Tang Lei and Li Youran.
"You Ran, please marry me!"
As Tang Lei spoke, he took out a pure gold ring from his pocket and knelt down, mimicking the proposal pose that Li Youran had once mentioned.
Li Youran stared blankly as she stretched out her finger; she hadn't expected Tang Lei to always carry a ring with him.
What are you doing?
Tang Lei swept Li Youran up in his arms, catching her off guard.
"Going back to my hometown to hold a wedding ceremony."
Tang Lei looked at Li Youran in his arms and gave her a wicked smile.
Li Youran's lips twitched. Was she remarrying Old Tang next door?
