The emperor sighed deeply, and he stroked her face with his big hands, wiping away the tears on her face with pity.
His tone was filled with helplessness. "Yier, don't cry. From now on, I will listen to you. You can do whatever you want. Do whatever you want. Is this satisfactory, Yier?"
She was pregnant and there was nothing he could do to her.
"If you don't want to enter the palace for the time being, then don't enter. But my position as Queen will always be reserved for you. What do you think, Yi'er?"
Xu Lingyi opened her eyes slightly, and looked at him with her watery eyes, as if she didn't expect him to compromise.
"Your Majesty, you really won't force me?" she asked with a sob, her beautiful, clear eyes moistened.
"Yes." The emperor nodded.
He already liked her, and now she was pregnant.
Does he have any other choice but to compromise?
Just because you compromise doesn't mean you give in.
The emperor was clear about it and was confident.
The child is still young now, but when her belly gets bigger, others will be able to tell that she is pregnant. Will she still be able to live in the general's mansion and not enter the palace then?
The emperor admitted that he had despicable intentions.
He was glad that he had a child with her. Otherwise, how would he have had the chance to win her heart?
"I heard that if a woman cries frequently during pregnancy, her child will also be a crybaby."
Xu Lingyi was stunned. She shook her head: "Impossible."
The emperor raised the corner of his mouth: "How do you know it's impossible?"

Four days later, people from the capital arrived.
"If you don't want others to know about your relationship with me, then I'll have to ask Yi'er to wear the veil."
Because Xu Lingyi was pregnant, the emperor advised them not to travel too fast, and it would take them six days to return to the capital.
The Queen Mother was waiting at the palace gate early.
The moment the empress dowager saw the emperor's motorcade entering the palace, tears flowed down her face.
"emperor!!"
"Mother." The emperor hugged the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother looked much more haggard than before.
"I am an unfilial son and have made my mother worry about me."
The Queen Mother's face was covered in tears. She reached out and stroked the Emperor's face while shaking her head: "It's good that you are back. As long as you are alive, it is the greatest filial piety to me. I also just want my son to live well."
After the Queen Mother had cried enough, she noticed the woman next to the Emperor.
"Emperor, who is this woman?"
The Queen Mother's voice was hoarse; she had been crying for too long.
The Queen Mother glanced at the woman a few times, but the more she looked, the more she felt that she was somewhat similar to Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi lifted her veil and spoke slowly, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, it's you who is my servant."
