Gu Wang's tone was imperative.
Ying Xixi frowned and spoke tentatively.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to do here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the capital with you tomorrow.
If Your Majesty has anything to say, you can tell me now."
Why didn’t Gu Wang tell her about the fact that she had been pretending to be Ying Zhen for a year? What was he planning to do?
Without even mentioning it, she felt as if a large knife was hanging around her neck.
"Miss Ying, you pretended to be Ying Zhen and deceived me for over a year, making me think I was a homosexual. You caused me physical and mental harm. Don't you think you should be responsible for me?"
Gu Wang stared into Ying Xixi's eyes and spoke word by word.
Ying Xixi stammered, "Your Majesty...are you saying that you like my brother?"
Gu Wang sighed and held Ying Xixi's shoulders.
"After you and Ying Zhen switched places, when I saw Ying Zhen again, I obviously felt that I didn't have any feelings for him anymore.
Later, at Ying Zhen’s wedding banquet, I saw you and vaguely felt that feeling coming back.
I thought I was so easily moved by love.
I didn't expect that the previous Ying Zhen was you in disguise.
And the one I have liked from the beginning to the end is you, and I don’t have any homosexual tendencies.
Xixi, you saved me on New Year's Eve. How about I repay you with my life?"
Gu Wang just stared at Ying Xixi and revealed his feelings to her.
Gu Wang's straight ball attack made Ying Xixi stunned for a moment.
She suddenly felt that her three-month absence was a joke.
Ying Xixi hesitated about what she should say next.
As if he saw Ying Xixi's hesitation, Gu Wang continued, "Xixi, you don't have to worry about what you are worried about anymore.
Even if you pretended to be Ying Zhen and deceived me, I would not blame you.
Also, you and Ying Zhen look so similar, you must be twins."
Ying Xixi's heart trembled and she nodded.
"It seems that your Ying family has been deceiving the late emperor and me since more than 20 years ago, but..."
Gu Wang's change of tone made Ying Xixi's heart start to fluctuate.
"But if you hadn't kept the secret and if you hadn't grown up successfully, I wouldn't have met you.
Some deceptions should be dealt with, but some deceptions are good things.
Xixi, as long as you are willing to enter the palace and become my concubine, I can promise you now that I will not pursue the matter of your Ying family deceiving me."
Gu Wang said it seriously.
It was obvious that what he said was true.
Ying Xixi breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that Gu Wang has said it, he will not pursue the matter of the Ying family deceiving the emperor.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I promise you."
Ying Xixi agreed.
Anyway, whether she entered the palace or not, she had already carried the baby and her mission of having a child had been completed.
Being with Gu Wang can be considered as fulfilling the original owner's wish of finding a close friend to spend the rest of her life with.
Gu Wang happily hugged Ying Xixi tightly in his arms.
The next day, Gu Wang took Ying Xixi and left Ancheng and returned to the capital.
Ying Xixi thought Gu Wang would take her directly to the palace, but Gu Wang sent her back to Ying Mansion.
It just so happened that Ying Zhen was also in the mansion. When the three people from the Ying family saw Gu Wang bringing back Ying Xixi, who was dressed in women's clothes.
The three of them were really shocked.
"Your Majesty, you, you..."
"Father, brother, sister-in-law, I'm back."
Ying Xixi walked up to greet everyone one by one and took Miao Manman's arm.
Miao Manman was nervous and terrified and tried to wink at Ying Xixi, asking her what was going on.
Ying Xixi really understood the meaning of Miao Manman's eyes.
But before she could explain, Gu Wang spoke first.
"Everyone, I plan to marry Xixi. I'll ask the Imperial Observatory to check the specific time when I go to the palace later.
I will let you know when it is confirmed."
After Gu Wang finished speaking, he gave Ying Xixi a sticky look before leaving.
After Gu Wang left, Miao Manman hurriedly asked Ying Xixi, "Xixi, what happened between you and the emperor?
How did the Emperor find you? And your appearance was seen by the Emperor. What did the Emperor say?
And, and, the emperor just said he wants to marry you?
Doesn't that mean they want you to be the queen?!"
"Sister-in-law, calm down. Let me drink some water first and then I'll talk to you slowly."
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the house first."
Miao Manman pulled Ying Xixi away, and Ying Zhen took Ying Xixi's small bag. Although Ying's father didn't say anything, he followed eagerly.
The family returned to the house and sat around the table. Ying Xixi took a sip of water and briefly recounted what Gu Wang had said to her last night.
"That's the thing. The Emperor personally promised me that as long as I enter the palace, he wouldn't pursue the matter of our deception.
So we don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Although Ying's father, Ying Zhen, and Miao Manman breathed a sigh of relief, they were all worried.
“Xixi, the emperor is willing to let us go on the condition that you can enter the palace.
Do you really want to enter the palace and become the queen?
Although the position of queen is what many women dream of, I know you don't care about these positions.
The important thing is, Xixi, did you really volunteer to enter the palace to be the queen?
If you did this because you wanted to protect us, I would rather we be punished by the Emperor!"
Miao Manman held Ying Xixi's hand and spoke with tears in her eyes.
Ying Xixi was touched. Her sister-in-law Manman really cared about her.
"Xixi, brother thinks the same. If we use your happiness in this life to exchange for our safety, we will not be able to rest in peace even if everything goes smoothly in the future!"
Ying Zhen also echoed.
When Ying's father saw that his son and daughter-in-law had expressed their opinions, he covered his lips and coughed.
"Xixi, your brother and sister-in-law's meaning is what your father means. Are you really willing to enter the palace?"
Ying Xixi looked at her family's concerned eyes, smiled and nodded.
"Of course I volunteered. You know, if I don't want to do something, I won't do it even if you kill me.
In fact, during the more than one year that I stayed with the emperor disguised as his brother, I gradually fell in love with him.
At that time, I also vaguely discovered the emperor's feelings for me, but I was not sure whether the emperor liked the brother I pretended to be, or the real me.
I didn't feel at ease until the emperor confessed to me last night.
A few months ago, on the night of the New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor was plotted against and I happened to save him.
The Emperor and I have already had physical contact, and I already have his child, so I can only enter the palace and become the Empress."
Ying Xixi's words frightened the three members of the Ying family. They stared at each other in silence for a while...
