"Hmph, I don't think they dare. How can Xie Huaixing be compared with the emperor?" The empress dowager said with a sullen face.
"Please help me pack my luggage. I will personally go to take the emperor back to the capital."
The nanny quickly tried to dissuade her, saying that the empress dowager had been worried about the emperor for some time and had become unwell, so how could she travel so far?
"If you had come along, Your Majesty, you would have been tired on the journey, and the Emperor would have felt sorry for you. Why don't you wait for His Majesty's return in the capital? You could also help His Majesty guard the capital and prevent those villains from causing trouble."
The Queen Mother turned her Buddhist beads in deep thought.
"Forget it. If I go, my journey will slow down."
The Queen Mother gave up the idea.
————
"Yier, people from the capital will come to pick us up in a few days."
The emperor held Xu Lingyi's hand tightly.
"When the time comes, you will return to the capital with me."
Xu Lingyi has actually achieved her goal.
She has already attracted a lot of hatred from Xie Huaixing.
After returning this time, the emperor will probably punish Xie Huaixing, and Xie Huaixing and the entire palace will have no chance of survival.
Even if the emperor let him go, Xu Lingyi would not let him go.
As for Xu Lingmian and his stepmother, they were easier to deal with.
"But if Your Majesty and I appear in the capital together, how will Your Majesty explain it?"
"Why should I explain? You and I fell off the cliff together, and we both survived. We protected each other from the cliff, and we are connected. This is a perfect match brought about by heaven. I like you, and I intend to marry you. What else can anyone say?"
Xu Lingyi lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "But Your Majesty, you haven't even asked for your opinion. I don't want to enter the palace. Do you really like me?"
The way she is now is like playing hard to get. The easier it is to get someone, the less sincere they will be.
And she has no faith in men.
The only man she had ever liked was Xie Huaixing.
Childhood sweethearts, inseparable, more than ten years of love, vowed to be together for life, but he changed his mind at will.
When she was a child, Xie Huaixing treated her better than the emperor and was more obedient to her.
Even his sister Xie Huaiyu was often jealous because of these things.
But Xie Huaixing changed his mind very quickly. That's what a man is like, full of lies.
The emperor seems to be treating her well now, but no matter how good he is to her, she will not be easily moved by it and give her true heart.
She only trusts her own children.
The pain and despair of a broken heart is enough to experience once.
The emperor pursed his lips, took her hand and placed it on his heart.
The corners of his eyes were red and his gaze was deep.
"Yier, do you want me to dig out my heart and show it to you before you believe me? I've already told you that I love you, why don't you believe me?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head. She wanted to step back, but her slender waist was tightly locked by the emperor's hot hands.
"Because I cannot feel your Majesty's sincerity. If you truly loved me, you would not force me like this."
The emperor said nothing, his lips turned pale and he sneered cruelly.
"I don't want to force you. I also want to wait until you personally agree to enter the palace, but you are already pregnant with my child. Do you want our child to be an illegitimate child with an unknown identity? He is my child, born into the royal family, and he needs to have a legitimate status."
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes, a mocking smile appearing on the corner of her mouth. "After all, Your Majesty, this is all for the child."
"Xu Lingyi, do you have no heart?"
He glanced at her with his cold eyes, his lips pursed into a straight line.
"Just because you don't like me, you can ignore and trample on my feelings for you like this? If it were Xie Huaixing today, the emperor, asking you to enter the palace, would you still be so cold and heartless?"
"Why don't you speak?"
The emperor's bony hands grabbed her face and slammed his lips against hers.
Xu Lingyi twisted her body in panic, but he looked sinister, hugged her waist tightly, and pressed her against his hot chest.
He didn't allow her to struggle at all. All her struggles and whimpers were swallowed up by him, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
His breathing was heavy and his strength was savage.
She was powerless to resist.
After the kiss, Xu Lingyi could only feel her whole body go limp and collapse into his arms.
He hugged her tightly, his voice low and full of satisfaction.
He kissed her hair gently.
"I am the Son of Heaven, yet I humble myself before you, begging you to enter the palace. Yi'er, I also have my own pride."
The emperor held her face and stared into her eyes.
"I've been bowing to you all this time. Is it that you can't understand my feelings, or that you simply don't care? Yi'er, what do you want?"
"I have never been in contact with women and don't know how to get along with them. Sometimes I even wonder if you are deliberately toying with me."
Xu Lingyi's tears fell, and her eyelashes were full of tears.
She put her hands over her stomach.
"Yier?" The emperor looked flustered.
Xu Lingyi's face turned pale. "Your Majesty, I have a stomachache."
The emperor quickly picked her up and said, "Doctor!"
"Your Majesty, the lady and the unborn baby are fine."
"But she just had a stomachache." The emperor was very nervous.
The doctor really couldn't diagnose anything. Judging from the pulse, both the adult and the child are fine.
But this person was so nervous, and when he saw Xu Lingyi still sobbing softly, the doctor spoke.
"Madam is pregnant. Perhaps it's because she was too emotional just now. Pregnant women shouldn't worry too much..."
After the doctor left, Xu Lingyi still kept her head down, sobbing very quietly. Her eyelashes were filled with tears, and her snow-white eyes were now full of tears, making her look fragile and pitiful.
