The emperor realized that he had fallen into her trap in this life.
He had no choice but to compromise and love her.
Even if there is, that is definitely not the path he wants to choose.
He couldn't imagine life without Xu Lingyi.
"You two should be well in the future. What happened last night must not happen again. Don't make me worry anymore. My old bones can't stand any shock. Now I just want to enjoy the happiness of family."
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be lost in thought and his expression was no longer as tense as before, the empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief.
You know your own son well.
She also saw how much he liked Xu Lingyi.
She was an experienced person, and from the look in the emperor's eyes when he looked at Xu Lingyi, she had long understood the emperor's deep affection.
Even if there are any conflicts between the two, as long as there is affection, they will be resolved sooner or later.
In this case, as an elder, it would not be excessive for her to intervene and help them in advance.
"Don't worry, mother. This is the last time. I will treat her well and will not make her sad again."
After the emperor figured it out, the depression he had been feeling for the past few days almost disappeared.
No matter what, knowing that she doesn't like Xie Huaixing is enough.
Whether it was because of her calculations or something else, he had fallen in love with her now.
This is an established fact. He can't change his mind, nor does he want to change it.
From now on, he will treat her and the baby in her belly well. There is no one else in her heart, and one day she will fall in love with him.
"By the way, that Liu Jinzhong can no longer stay by your side. Although he has been with you for many years, he actually slandered the Queen in front of me yesterday. You should get rid of this kind of servant as soon as possible, and don't let him hurt the relationship between you and the Queen."
"What did he say to my mother?" The emperor was quite nervous.
He didn't want the Queen Mother to know that Xu Lingyi was plotting against him.
"I just had someone cover his mouth. I don't know what he wanted to say next. Even if I heard it, I wouldn't take it to heart."
She just needed to know that without Xu Lingyi, the emperor would be alone all his life and would never have children.
She knew in her heart how much he repelled and hated women.
It's lonely at the top. A hundred years after her death, the emperor had no relatives in this world and was left alone.
Just because Xu Lingyi can impress the emperor, he will not be alone in the future.
She would just be grateful to her, whether she had children or not.
What's more... now it is a thousand times better than she expected.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Liu Jinzhong, I won't keep him any longer. In consideration of your kindness in saving me, I will let him retire and return home."
"Go back and take good care of her and the child. I'll leave her here for the next few days and won't bother you."
The Queen Mother felt a little regretful. She had almost monopolized Xu Lingyi in the past few days, which might have delayed the two of them from resolving their misunderstanding.
Well, she really needs to be mindful of her elders.
"However, you must restrain yourself and not have sex again. This time you were lucky. If it happens again, I will definitely teach you a lesson personally."
The emperor looked embarrassed and lowered his eyes: "Don't worry, mother. I was confused last night. This kind of thing will not happen again."
Seeing his serious expression, the Queen Mother knew that he might be afraid and could not bear to continue criticizing him.
"Well, go back, go back to the bedroom. Don't stay in Xuanzheng Hall from now on."
The emperor nodded.
He didn't like living in Xuan Zheng Hall, and he had wanted to go back all the time in the past few days, but in his heart... he couldn't find the steps to go down.
Now there is no scruple.
When Xu Lingyi woke up, she realized someone was holding her hand.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the emperor lying beside the bed. He seemed a little sleepy.
"His Majesty?"
The emperor opened his eyes: "Yier."
Xu Lingyi was slightly surprised to hear his address.
Then she realized what was happening, her eyebrows moved slightly and she smiled.
Seeing her long-lost smile, the emperor's brows relaxed.
Although they didn't say anything, they both knew that what happened before was over.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Does your stomach still hurt?"
He was as gentle as before, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her.
Xu Lingyi shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice bitter:
"It's okay, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was wrong before..."
Before she could say anything, the emperor leaned over and covered her mouth.
There was no desire in this kiss, it was so light as if it was just a taste, tender and affectionate.
After the kiss, Xu Lingyi's lips were slightly open, and her stunning face was full of charm, which made her particularly lovable in the eyes of the emperor. He couldn't help but hold her lips again.
She trembled slightly as she accepted his love, her eyes red.
Only at this moment did she dare to truly believe in his love. It turned out that there really was someone who liked her.
Even though she is so despicable, hypocritical and vicious.
Even if she plotted against him.
After the kiss, their foreheads touched, their eyes met, and their breaths intertwined.
"Yier, you haven't done anything wrong to me. Even if you have, that happened in the past, and I did it willingly."
He reached out and gently touched her hair.
"Everything that happened in the past is over after today. No matter what happens in the future, I will not bring up the past, and you are not allowed to mention it again, okay?"
"Okay." Xu Lingyi smiled faintly.
All her enemies have been dealt with, leaving only Xie Huaixing's family, but they are all in the Sky Prison, and it is obvious that their fate is already decided.
She was pregnant with a child.
Although the original intention of getting pregnant was to plot against the emperor.
But she is connected to the child by blood, and she has nothing but love for the child.
