Xie Yizhi only let Jiang Luoluo go when she felt oxygen deprivation in her head.
Xie Yizhi's eyes were glazed over, filled with lust, as he looked at Jiang Luoluo's swollen lips.
His slender fingers gently touched her, and Jiang Luoluo nestled in his arms like a little quail, pressing herself tightly against his strong chest.
In no time, he helped Jiang Luoluo put on her dress, and the bow on her cape was tied particularly beautifully.
Jiang Luoluo glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.
Xie Yizhi stood a little further away, took a look at the whole picture, and suddenly smiled.
He then approached closer, bent down, and took out the embroidered shoes from under the bed. Jiang Luoluo obediently sat on the edge of the bed, letting him fuss over her.
Xie Yizhi gently held her delicate feet and slipped the shoes on.
"You are not allowed to go barefoot in the room anymore. The floor is damp, and if it gets into your body, you will suffer when you get old."
Jiang Luoluo gave him a sweet smile and said, "I know, my husband."
Xie Yizhi felt an indescribable joy in his heart when he saw how well she behaved.
The first time she saw herself order Liu Dayong's fingers to be cut off, she was so frightened that she lost her mind.
Xie Yizhi took a dagger to test Jiang Luoluo, who had just finished bathing and walked out barefoot.
At that time, Xie Yizhi was so enraged that he was afraid he would lose control and fall into a trap.
Unexpectedly, several days later, he still ended up inside, and he did so willingly.
For dinner, Xie Yizhi had hot pot prepared, and the family sat around the pot, enjoying a lively meal.
As usual, Xie Yizhi boiled some beef and mutton and put it in Jiang Luoluo's bowl.
Like a little adult, Xie Zhichen imitated Xie Yizhi, placing the blanched wood ear mushrooms and tofu into Jiang Luoluo's bowl.
He smiled happily, "Mommy, I'm going to be a big brother!"
Jiang Luoluo patted his head, "Yes, Zhichen has grown up and is going to be a big brother. From now on, you will be Daddy and Mommy's little man."
Xie Zhichen's eyes blinked, he was very happy, and the family sat and chatted for a long time after finishing their meal.
As night deepened, Jiang Luoluo urged Xie Zhichen to go back to his room to rest.
Xie Zhichen rummaged in his pocket for a while and pulled out two small wooden figures, handing one to Jiang Luoluo and the other to Xie Yizhi.
He solemnly said, "Father and Mother, I will stay obediently in the manor tomorrow. You must return safely."
This child is so sensible it breaks your heart.
Jiang Luoluo looked at the little wooden figures; one depicted Jiang Luoluo holding Xie Zhichen, and the other depicted Xie Yizhi teaching Xie Zhichen how to shoot arrows.
Jiang Luoluo tucked the little wooden figure into her sleeve, her eyes stinging with tears. She knelt down to pick him up, but Xie Zhichen waved his hand, "Mother, you can't hug me now."
Jiang Luoluo's heart almost melted at the sight of such a thoughtful child. She opened her arms and hugged Xie Zhichen tightly.
Xie Yizhi also came over and ruffled Xie Zhichen's hair. Xie Zhichen then gave Jiang Luoluo a sweet kiss on the cheek.
Jiang Luoluo gave Xie Zhichen a sweet kiss, "Don't worry, Zhichen, your parents will come back safely. You stay home and take good care of the family, okay?"
Xie Zhichen patted his chest and nodded solemnly, "Father and Mother, don't worry, leave the family to me."
Having received assurances from his parents, Xie Zhichen happily returned to his own courtyard.
Xie Yizhi and Jiang Luoluo walked into the courtyard, and he glanced at the bright moon in the sky.
He tightened his grip on Jiang Luoluo's hand. "Luoluo, will you stay home tomorrow?"
Jiang Luoluo turned to look at him, "No, the Prince of Yan is the enemy who murdered my parents, how can I not go?"
They had originally planned to go together, but Xie Yizhi was worried after learning that Jiang Luoluo was pregnant that afternoon.
In fact, Jiang Luoluo was most worried about Xie Yizhi, who died at the hands of the Prince of Yan in the book.
If she doesn't go, how can she feel at ease at home?
Now that they're together, she'll face all the ups and downs with him.
Xie Yizhi looked at his reflection in Jiang Luoluo's clear eyes.
Knowing that she was a woman of her word, he agreed, "Okay, we'll go together tomorrow."
A smile returned to Jiang Luoluo's face.

As dawn broke, the emperor emerged from the city gate with his entourage, accompanied by Xiao Lingchuan, the Grand Steward.
Xie Yizhi's carriage followed closely behind, followed by the carriage of a first-rank minister.
Gu Boyuan, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, followed beside the emperor's carriage.
Xie Yizhi helped Jiang Luoluo into the carriage. Gu Boyuan watched, having not seen her for several days.
Jiang Luoluo, who seemed to be becoming increasingly charming and alluring, couldn't help but look away for a moment.
Yao Shiyu lifted the carriage curtain and happened to see this scene. Her eyes were filled with resentment as she stared intently at Jiang Luoluo.
Xie Yizhi noticed the unfriendly gaze and turned around. Yao Shiyu quickly shrank back.
Inside the carriage, Yao Shiyu's fingernails dug deep into her palms.
Today, she is determined to make that old hag Empress Dowager Du, that vile woman Jiang Luoluo, and that living devil Xie Yizhi all perish at Yuanhua Temple.
Inside Yuanhua Temple, tents of all sizes have been set up as you enter through the temple gate.
Under the tents were rows of stalls.
There were vendors selling rare and exotic treasures, fruits and snacks, antiques and calligraphy, and clothing and jewelry—everything one could need was available.
Xie Qiyu's entourage stopped, and all the carriages stopped along the official road, forming a grand procession that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The ministers followed Xie Qiyu up the steps. Inside the temple, Lu Tingyue, with his hands clasped together, led a group of monks to greet them.
"Amitabha, may the Buddha have mercy. We are grateful that His Majesty has come to the Buddhist temple to share joy with the people." Lu Tingyue had a compassionate expression, which Jiang Luoluo glanced at.
He was tall and thin, with sharp eyebrows and a strong, defined facial structure, showing no signs of middle-aged weight gain.
They looked quite capable. Jiang Luoluo glanced at the monks behind her. Their heads were bald and they stretched as far as the eye could see. There were probably five or six hundred of them.
Jiang Luoluo knew that this was not all of Lu Tingyue's strength; he was still hiding a portion of it in the shadows.
She gently squeezed Xie Yizhi's hand, and Xie Yizhi sensed her worry.
He couldn't help but grasp her soft hand in return, as if to tell her, "I'll take care of everything, you don't need to worry."
Xie Qiyu also put his hands together in a respectful manner, saying, "Master Yikong, thank you for your trouble!"
Lu Tingyue smiled and led Xie Qiyu forward. Jiang Luoluo watched secretly. Lu Tingyue and Gu Boyuan had already exchanged glances without making a sound.
Upon entering the temple gate, the common people and tourists gathered around. Empress Dowager Du, supported by her nanny, left the meditation room and headed towards the grand opening ceremony of the Wanxing Trade Fair.
Lu Tingyue led Xie Qiyu to the high seat, and the people knelt down in unison, shouting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Xie Qiyu gave a celebratory speech and announced the official start of the trade fair.
Lu Tingyue also stood beside him, smiling kindly.
Beneath the surface of the bustling crowd, undercurrents surged. Jiang Luoluo watched the surging crowd, her heart pounding in her chest.
