Zhou Changling stared intently at Bai Lingxi, not daring to move an inch, afraid of missing her reaction.
However, Bai Lingxi's fingers did not move again, as if it was just his imagination. Zhou Changling felt a sense of loss.
Could it be that I really made a mistake?
...
"Eek—" Bai Lingxi whimpered.
It's not an illusion!
Zhou Changling suddenly became excited. He stepped forward, grasped Bai Lingxi's small hand, and looked at her with the most concerned and ardent gaze.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, you're awake!"
Zhou Changling became so excited that he started rambling incoherently. He didn't care that the little prince was still nestled in Bai Lingxi's neck. He moved his big face close to the little prince's face.
"Ya ya... ah... ee ee..." The little prince was dissatisfied and kept pushing away the enormous face with his little hands.
Zhou Changling was caught off guard and slapped in the face by the little prince.
Li Lin watched from the side, his heart pounding with fear, thinking to himself that this little rascal was far too lively!
However, Zhou Changling had no time to pay attention to him, his phoenix eyes fixed only on Bai Lingxi.
Sure enough, after all the waiting, the clouds parted and the moon shone brightly.
Bai Lingxi slowly woke up, her long, feathery eyelashes trembling, like a butterfly with broken wings, fluttering its wings, ready to fly at any moment.
The next moment, she opened her eyes, as if her soul had been infused into her body, and a thousand rays of light burst forth from her eyes, making her come alive.
"Xi'er!"
When Zhou Changling saw that she had finally woken up, his voice was excited, his expression a mixture of joy and sorrow, and his hand holding Bai Lingxi trembled slightly.
"Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"
He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He was afraid that An Yi was deceiving him, and he was also afraid that he would never see Bai Lingxi again.
The long night was finally broken by the light of dawn.
Bai Lingxi had just woken up. Although her eyes were still a little dazed, she quickly regained her spirits.
"water--"
Bai Lingxi felt incredibly thirsty, and even tasted blood in her mouth, so her first thought was to find water to drink.
"well!"
Zhou Changling was so happy he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, and he forgot to ask anyone for help. He excitedly brought over the tea himself.
"Here, let me feed you."
Zhou Changling helped Bai Lingxi sit up and lean her against him.
As for the young prince, he was ruthlessly pushed aside, showing no trace of the previous fatherly love and filial piety.
Li Lin kept his eyes down, pretending not to see anything.
Why did you push him?!
Bai Lingxi finally got to see the baby she had given birth to with great difficulty; the two of them hadn't seen each other for so long.
result?
Bai Lingxi didn't even feel thirsty, and insisted on arguing with Zhou Changling.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong. Drink some water first, then you'll have the energy to scold me." Zhou Changling coaxed Bai Lingxi, making her drink the tea, showing even more care than when he was taking care of the little prince.
Bai Lingxi now has a lot of resentment towards him. She was heartbroken because of Zhou Jin's matter.
Using An'er now is just a pretext to make a fuss.
Both of them were well aware of this, but since Bai Lingxi didn't bring it up, Zhou Changling naturally wouldn't bring up Zhou Jin on his own initiative.
Actually, he didn't know where Zhou Jin had gone. He kept his promise, had the imperial physician bandage his wounds, and then let them leave.
He didn't know their whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Zhou Changling lowered his eyes; Xi'er had already woken up.
Then—that person should be awake by now, what will he do?
The atmosphere between the two became awkward again, even hinting at a deep-seated animosity.
"Ah...ya ya..."
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, An'er was unwilling to be lonely, so he waved his little hands and kept babbling.
Little kids don't understand the dilemmas adults face!
All he knew was that his mother and father had finally been reunited, and he was now the happiest child in the world!
Seeing her child so carefree, it was clear that he was being well taken care of. Bai Lingxi felt a lump in her throat, and hot tears slid down her cheeks.
Zhou Changling already felt sorry for Bai Lingxi, but he was bothered by it. However, when he saw Bai Lingxi's tears, he couldn't bear it.
To cheer Bai Lingxi up, he took the initiative to pick up the little prince and bring him close to Bai Lingxi so that she could see him more clearly.
Bai Lingxi had just woken up and was too weak to hold on, so she could only rely on Zhou Changling to hold An'er for her: "Look how adorable our little prince is!"
"Eee... Ya ya..." Seeing that he had finally gained the attention of the two, the little prince smiled sweetly.
Bai Lingxi felt her heart melting. Her sharp eyes softened instantly. Without a doubt, her child was her weakness.
"Thank you."
Just as the two of them were playing with the little prince, Bai Lingxi's voice suddenly rang out.
Before Zhou Changling could ask a question, Bai Lingxi added, "You took very good care of An'er."
Zhou Changling was taken aback. He was used to Bai Lingxi's cold face, and was flattered to be treated so kindly.
After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and his expression somewhat moved: "He is our royal son, it is our duty to take good care of him."
“You—” Bai Lingxi hesitated, but finally she asked, “He said that An’er is his child.”
Although Bai Lingxi did not name names, it goes without saying who she was referring to. Zhou Changling knew who she was talking about.
