Based on Xu Lingyi's understanding of the emperor, he would never hide from her.
Unless he knew something, combined with the fact that the emperor had been to the Heavenly Prison, Xu Lingyi would understand everything.
Only Xie Huaixing and those close to her knew that she fell off a cliff when she was a child.
She fell down while trying to save Xie Huaixing and narrowly escaped death.
Now it has become a sharp knife for Xie Huai to stab her. How ridiculous is that?
Hearing her voice, the emperor opened his eyes and looked deeply into her eyebrows with his dark eyes.
Noticing the bloodshot in his dark eyes, Xu Lingyi's expression changed and a complex emotion emerged on her face.
"Your Majesty, you can ask me anything you want, and I will tell you the truth."
Xu Lingyi approached the emperor, she squatted down and held his hand.
His bony hands were so cold that she felt as if she were holding a piece of ice.
He didn't shake her hand off, but he didn't say anything either. He just stared at her deeply.
Silence stretched between the two.
Xu Lingyi sighed, "From now on, no matter how you want to deal with me, I will accept it without any complaints."
To be honest, after guessing that the emperor might know something, Xu Lingyi felt relieved.
The emperor said he loved her, and he was indeed very good to her. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was obedient to her in everything.
Humans are not plants or trees, and she is not without any consciousness.
She was even afraid that if someone treated her so well for a long time, could she really be as hard-hearted as iron?
The better the emperor treated her, the more tormented she felt.
Because he didn't like the real her, but only the disguised her.
She couldn't lie to him forever, and sooner or later he would discover her true face.
She was also afraid that if she was moved by his long-term dedication in the future, and he discovered her calculations, how would she deal with it?
"Your Majesty, I will help you into the house first. It's snowing so heavily outside."
Xu Lingyi reached out to help him, but the emperor did not move.
Xu Lingyi didn't know what to do.
"If your majesty is angry, you can come to me. I am the culprit. You don't need to torture yourself."
Just when she thought the situation was about to stalemate, the emperor's eyes turned slightly red.
"What should I do with you? What do you want me to do with you? You are pregnant with my child."
"Your Majesty, you can imprison me. After I give birth to a child, you can deal with me, depose me, or even execute me." Xu Lingyi lowered her head.
The emperor showed a mocking smile: "You are so cruel to yourself."
If he was willing to deal with her, why would he feel so uncomfortable?
"You will answer anything I ask?"
Xu Lingyi nodded.
"Do you like Xie Huaixing?"
Xu Lingyi didn't expect that the emperor's first question was not about anything else, not about the aphrodisiac fruit, but about whether she liked Xie Huaixing.
Xu Lingyi shook her head. "I no longer liked him after the engagement was broken off. When I told Your Majesty at the bottom of the cliff that I liked Xie Huaixing, I did it on purpose. I knew Your Majesty liked me, so I deliberately wanted Your Majesty to take action against him."
She confessed her badness.
He liked her goodness, and she would be anxious and uneasy. Even if he took ninety-nine steps towards her, she still wouldn't dare to take a step forward.
Because she was afraid that there was an abyss ahead, or a castle in the air, and that if she took a step forward she would be doomed.
But if he knew how bad she was, he would still accept her...
Only then did she feel her feet were on solid ground and she dared to move forward towards him.
After Xu Lingyi finished speaking, she didn't dare to look into the emperor's eyes. She could sense the gaze above her head that could not be ignored.
At this moment, she found herself actually afraid, afraid of seeing disgust and aversion in his eyes.
The emperor lowered his eyes and stared at her for a moment, with struggle in his eyes.
He even thought that as long as she didn't like Xie Huaixing, everything would be enough.
He shouldn't ask about the rest of the things and just pretend he knows nothing.
"You know the cliff's exit. You were the one who deliberately led me there that day, right?"
The emperor still asked, no matter what happened in the future, let all matters and suspicions be settled today.
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes, her face pale from the wind and snow.
"Yes." Xu Lingyi nodded again: "I do know how to tell you the secret, and I deliberately delayed it. As for the aphrodisiac fruit... I also deliberately asked Your Majesty to eat it..."
She wanted to continue speaking, but the emperor covered her mouth with his hand.
His eyes were red and tearful. He had never thought that one day he would fall for her.
He clearly hated scheming, vicious and domineering women the most. If another woman dared to deceive and play tricks on him like this, he would tear her into pieces.
But even if she said this now, he still found it difficult to dislike her.
He kept finding excuses for her in his mind.
"You are doing all this just to make me fall in love with you, right?" the emperor said.
Xu Lingyi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
There was a hint of emotion in the emperor's eyes.
"If all this was your plan, then why did you risk your life to save me when I fell into the snake den?"
He had indeed dropped it accidentally at that time, which she could never have predicted.
"This was indeed an accident." Xu Lingyi said.
When she said this, the emperor felt a little relieved.
But the next second his heart sank to the bottom again.
"But I jumped down that day because I believed that neither Your Majesty nor I would be in danger."
As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor grabbed her slender wrist.
He had a stern expression and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
"So, Your Majesty, there is really no need for you to be angry over a heartless and ungrateful woman like me. It is not worth it to harm your own body for me."
She closed her eyes after she finished speaking, and at this moment she felt more relaxed than ever before.
In both of her lives, she had never deceived anyone except the emperor.
If she did something wrong, she would accept the punishment that was coming.
Now, my grandmother, sister and others have received the retribution they deserved. What happened in the three months since the emperor left the capital is enough to prevent Xie Huaixing from ascending to that supreme position.
It won't end well for him.
After being reborn, she has done everything she wanted to do.
The only person I feel sorry for is the emperor.
But she left him a child since he had no children, which was her compensation to him and the Queen Mother.
This way, we can barely even find a way to avoid losing out.
"You've done all this just to make me like you?"
"yes."
