Of course, this was only what Xu Lingyi knew on the surface. After all, it was a royal private matter, and she didn't know much about it because of her low status.
But the only thing she could be sure of was that Xiao Chengyou had never rebelled.
Rebellion is a big deal, and whenever it happens, there will be rumors. However, she did not hear any news in Xiao Hengyuan's backyard.
So it can be speculated that Xiao Chengyou must not have rebelled.
Suddenly one day, Xiao Chengyou regained his status as a prince.
It is said that the emperor personally went to the deposed prince's residence to pick him up, and the father and son returned to the palace together.
After that, the emperor would find excuses to scold Xiao Hengyuan every day. Almost all the ministers in the court were the emperor's men, and they could see what the emperor was thinking. Memorials impeaching Xiao Hengyuan were flying everywhere.
At that time, the women in his backyard were all in a panic, and they saw enemies everywhere.
Only Xu Lingyi felt a little more at ease because Xiao Hengyuan disliked her and did not touch her.
But her life was not easy. In Xiao Hengyuan's backyard, she was the person with the lowest status.
Others were either favored or not, but she was the only one who was despised and hated by Xiao Hengyuan.
So she became a target for everyone to bully, and those women who were having a hard time came to bully her.
But soon Xiao Hengyuan was deposed from the position of crown prince.
The deposed crown prince sat on that position again. She still remembered that day when Xu Baozhu's face turned ashen, her whole body was shaky, and she screamed like a madman without caring about her image.
————
In Xiao Chengyou's impression, Xu Lingyi has always been gentle and quiet, and rarely looks so nervous. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's going on in your mind?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head. How could she dare to say such outrageous words?
If Xiao Chengyou didn't have this idea, and she woke him up, she would regret it.
She will be the queen in the future. Not only will she be the queen, but when her children grow up, she will also be the queen mother.
Xu Lingyi shook her head, her voice slowed and she spoke softly, "This humble servant has no thoughts, but Your Highness, for the sake of our unborn child, you must be careful and cautious in everything you do... Don't make this humble servant and the child worry about you."
Xiao Chengyou's lips curled up, and he was in a good mood. "Even if you don't say it, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I know my limits. I would never do something like hitting a rock with an egg, and I will definitely not do it now."
"Because now, besides the Queen Mother, the people I care about now also include you and the child."
Xu Lingyi heaved a sigh of relief, but remained expressionless. She simply looked at him with a smile, "Your Highness, I believe in you. You are the most wise and powerful man in the world."
If someone said something like this, Xiao Chengyou would definitely think she was deliberately flattering him.
But when Xu Lingyi said it, he felt that she was sincere.
Because when she looked at him gently, her eyes were clear and bright, and seemed to always contain a hint of affection.
Is this what it means when a lover sees beauty in his lover?
"The man you thought was the most wise and powerful is now just a useless person."
Xiao Chengyou sighed. He still didn't want Xu Lingyi to like him so much, so as to avoid her falling too deeply.
"Besides, if I fail, you might have to suffer with me for the rest of your life. How could you be so happy?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head. "Your Highness, no matter what the situation is, as long as I'm with Your Highness, I'll be happy."
"It can't get any worse than it is now, but I think it's pretty good now."
Xiao Chengyou sighed softly, "It's true that being content is the key to happiness."
With Xu Lingyi's optimistic attitude, she will surely be able to live a good life no matter what situation she is in.
"Your Highness, do you know?" Xu Lingyi's eyes lit up as she stared at him.
"What?"
"When you said just now that I, like the Queen, am someone you care about, I was very happy."
Xiao Chengyou glanced at her, in a good mood, and nodded slightly.
"Um."
"But you have to exercise some restraint."
She liked him so much that it was sometimes hard for him to bear.
Because she loved him so much, he would treat her better every day.
Xu Lingyi didn't know what Xiao Chengyou wanted to do specifically, and since he didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask.
After all, she knew that she was a daughter of the Xu family, although Xiao Chengyou now seemed to have no doubts about her identity.
Ever since Xu Lingyi became pregnant, Xiao Chengyou no longer let her cook or grow vegetables, and he learned to do it all by himself.
"Today, a good friend of mine will come tonight."
Xiao Chengyou suddenly spoke.
Xu Lingyi was stunned, then nodded: "Okay."
It seems that Xiao Chengyou is not shy about her.
"Would you like some tea?"
Xiao Chengyou shook his head: "No need, you forgot that there is no tea at home, and you don't need to give him water."
"Okay." Xu Lingyi nodded.
At night, Xu Lingyi was half asleep and half awake when she saw a black shadow flash outside the window.
"Your Highness."
"Don't be afraid, it's him. I'm going out for a while."
Xu Lingyi nodded, gently took his hand and said softly, "Then put on a coat, don't catch a cold."
The nighttime temperatures are still a bit cooler now.
A warm feeling passed through Xiao Chengyou's heart, "Okay."
"Your Highness, you have suffered!"
Seeing Xiao Chengyou limping out, Ning Que, a burly man, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, how could he do this to you?"
"He didn't order anyone to do this to his leg. It was an accident."
"Can your leg be cured?" Ning Que asked hurriedly.
"I don't know." Speaking of this topic, Xiao Chengyou's eyes darkened slightly.
"Ning Que, I need you to find me a doctor. Not a common doctor, but Dr. Wang from the Holy Medical Office. I've heard he's good at setting bones. The imperial physician in the palace... won't examine my leg without the emperor's permission, so I can only... trouble you to help me."
