"Your Highness, wake up?"
Xu Lingyi looked outside and saw that although the fire was very big, it was not burning them, but the palace where Xiao Chengyou lived before.
She felt a little disappointed.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Chengyou woke up very quickly. The moment Xu Lingyi called him, he had already opened his eyes.
"There's a fire outside. It's going to burn us soon. Let's go." Xu Lingyi said anxiously and quickly pulled Xiao Chengyou up.
As she spoke, she handed him the clothes.
Xiao Chengyou shook his head, picked up her clothes and put them on her, "Yier, go out first."
Xu Lingyi was stunned, somewhat at a loss: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"I want to stay here. You go first before the fire spreads."
Xu Lingyi's eyes widened slightly. She held his hand tightly, as if trying to pull him away. "But Your Highness, why?"
Xiao Chengyou's eyes were deep, he stared at her and smiled lightly, "This is a good opportunity, Yi'er, I can't miss it."
"Can……"
"Be good and go first."
"If Your Highness doesn't leave, I won't leave either. I want to go with Your Highness."
Xu Lingyi shook her head firmly.
She looked outside and the fire seemed to be getting bigger, and it looked like it was about to burn them.
She was so anxious that tears fell down in a string, her voice was hoarse: "Your Highness, I know you have a plan in mind, but I... I am just a little girl, I don't understand these things. I just want you to be safe, and I don't want you to be in any danger."
Xiao Chengyou stared at her for a moment, a hint of complex hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Lingyi placed his hand on her belly and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? I'm pregnant with your child. No matter what, you can't risk your life."
"If anything happens to you, I won't live either!"
After Xu Lingyi finished speaking, Xiao Chengyou was shocked.
He suddenly grabbed Xu Lingyi's wrist and stared at her in a daze, unable to speak.
The plans in my mind began to waver when I saw her tearful eyes.
Now she loves him to this extent.
He could gamble on himself, but he didn't dare to gamble on her.
"Okay, let's go out together."
Xiao Chengyou's voice tightened. For her, he was willing to change his original plan.
He picked up Xu Lingyi by the waist and ran outside quickly.
By the time they ran out, the fire had spread to where they lived.
The fire seemed to be coming in with great force and the flames were extremely large, but neither of them was hurt at all.
Even Xu Lingyi and Xiao Chengyou stayed inside for a while to talk.
Xu Lingyi felt something was wrong.
"Yier, it's okay. Are you scared?" Xiao Chengyou hugged her in his arms and patted her back gently to comfort her.
Xu Lingyi shook her head, tears still on her face, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised:
"A little, but now that you are fine, Your Highness, and by my side, I am not afraid anymore."
Xiao Chengyou sighed in his heart, and gently wiped away her tears with his rough hands, and also wiped away the black dust on her face.
"I won't do that anymore. I will always be with you."
Xu Lingyi threw her head into his arms again and spoke in a muffled voice, her words full of guilt.
"Just now, did I affect some of your plans, Your Highness? I was too willful."
Xiao Chengyou shook his head firmly.
She was an extremely intelligent woman. She hadn't reacted in a hurry just now, but now that the two of them were out of danger, she should have guessed it.
"No." Xiao Chengyou spoke gently and comforted:
"I'm very happy. It's just an unimportant plan. It won't affect anything whether it exists or not. Don't think too much about it, Yi'er."
When she heard this, her tears seemed to slow down a little, and she looked up at him slightly, "Really?"
Xiao Chengyou met her extremely beautiful eyes, with traces of tears on his snow-white face.
His heart was beating rapidly, and dark desires were subconsciously surging in his mind.
She didn't know how charming she was at this moment, which made him want to just throw her on the bed and cry in front of him.
"Of course it's true." Xiao Chengyou's Adam's apple rolled, and his strong hands caressed her slender waist.
Xu Lingyi bit her lower lip lightly, feeling his suppressed desire, and quickly pushed him away with her slender wrist, escaping from his embrace.
During this short period of time, she often felt Xiao Chengyou's lust for her, and sometimes she was afraid when she met his deep eyes.
She felt more at ease when she thought of the baby in her belly.
Seeing her reaction, Xiao Chengyou smiled gently and his brows relaxed.
"Don't worry, Yi'er. I know my limits. Now is not the right time. Come here. I want to hold your hand."
After hearing this, Xu Lingyi obediently stretched out her fair hand.
Xiao Chengyou wrapped her hands with his big hands and confessed all his plans to her.
"Your Majesty was originally going to announce the imperial decree tomorrow, restoring my status as a prince."
"When I get reinstated, naturally some people will get restless."
He had long guessed that someone was going to take action.
"I took advantage of the situation and secretly gave it a push, but I was worried about your safety, so I set the fire in the palace next door. That way I could ensure that you and the child would not be in danger."
Ning Que had also been waiting in secret. His quick actions were enough to ensure Xu Lingyi's safety.
"I see." Xu Lingyi nodded. "Your Highness has made me worry for nothing."
She snorted softly, and Xiao Chengyou felt that every move she made was extremely cute.
"But I feel happy in my heart. If not, how would I know today that Yi'er loves me to this extent."
