Chapter 109 I owe you
Xiao Chenglan was much taller than Jiang Yingli, and his shoulders were broader than hers. He held her with all his strength, and Jiang Yingli almost fit into his arms.
The black imperial uniform covered most of her light apricot palace skirt, leaving only a small part of the train visible on the ground.
Jiang Yingli looked so pitiful that she could hardly breathe.
"Your Majesty, please relax a little. I can't breathe..."
Jiang Yingli's words suddenly stopped because she felt warm tears falling on her shoulder.
The tears trickled down her shoulder, flowing through the lake of her heart, creating ripples in circles.
Jiang Yingli's heart trembled, and she no longer struggled against this overly tight embrace. Instead, she hugged Xiao Chenglan tightly and said anxiously:
"Why is your majesty crying?"
Xiao Chenglan held her in his arms, his words almost incoherent. "I owe you too much. I always owe you. I always make you wait, even for our child... I'm not a qualified emperor, let alone a qualified husband."
Jiang Yingli shook her head anxiously, wanting to cry, but her tone was very firm: "That's not the case! It's absolutely not the case! Your Majesty has never owed me anything. Your Majesty is the best person in the world to me."
"As for the child, it's because I'm not in good health. What does this have to do with Your Majesty? Your Majesty, do you think I'll be sad to see Concubine Shen pregnant? I'm not sad at all. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"As for whether or not you're qualified, Your Majesty? Who has the right to judge? Your Majesty has been forced to this point. It's only been less than a year since Your Majesty ascended the throne. You've already done enough, and done well enough. Even though you're surrounded by enemies, Your Majesty still holds up the people."
"To be honest, the late emperor left such a huge mess for Your Majesty. No one else could do even one ten-thousandth of what Your Majesty has done. Those who say bad things about Your Majesty are not even a hair of Your Majesty's head! Your Majesty is the best!"
Xiao Chenglan rubbed Jiang Yingli in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. He took a deep breath, and there was a clear tremor in the sound, which made it clear that he was trying hard to restrain something.
He kept kissing her hair and murmured, "...We will have our own children."
"Yes!" Jiang Yingli nodded, imitating the way Xiao Chenglan comforted her in the past, and gently patted his back. "I am very happy to be by your majesty's side. Everything else is icing on the cake."
Xiao Chenglan hugged Jiang Yingli for a long time and finally calmed down.
When Jiang Yingli was released by him, she finally saw Xiao Chenglan's face. His eyes were no longer red, and he had returned to his usual serious and stern self.
I guess His Majesty won't let her see him crying.
Although Jiang Yingli felt regretful, she also understood.
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. There is good news." Jiang Yingli said with a smile.
Xiao Chenglan sighed softly and scratched the tip of her nose with his knuckles.
"Silly boy, I have never been with Concubine Shen, how could she have a child? Although I don't know how they diagnosed her pregnancy, I think it must be a trick."
"What... what trick?..." The smile on Jiang Yingli's face gradually disappeared, and she stood there for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
She had been thinking a lot just now.
That child, perhaps his eyebrows and eyes look like your Majesty, or perhaps his nose and mouth look like your Majesty...
But, is that all?...
Jiang Yingli couldn't accept it for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Is it true? Is it fake?"
Xiao Chenglan looked at her reaction and suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Do you not believe that I have never visited her, or do you think she has the guts to do something else?"
