Xu Lingyi couldn't sleep that night.
No one should know the cause of the queen's death in her previous life, otherwise she would have died at that time and would not be alive.
Xu Lingyi comforted herself.
As for her becoming Xiao Hengyuan's concubine, she had no choice.
She admitted that she deliberately approached Xiao Chengyou in this life, but so what?
She just wanted to live a better life. Anyone who had the same adventure as her would make the same choice.
Everyone wants to move up, and she did nothing wrong.
Xu Lingyi clenched her palms, and finally, when it was almost dawn, she fell into a drowsy sleep.
Xu Lingyi slept very lightly because she had something on her mind.
"Where is His Highness?"
Xu Lingyi opened her eyes and asked the maid.
"Your Highness went to the morning court early this morning." The maid replied.
"Is there anything unusual about His Highness today? How does His Highness look?"
The maid shook her head, "I didn't see Your Highness."
Xu Lingyi felt a little uneasy, wondering whether Xiao Chengyou knew about it or not.
How much did he dream about last night?
Xu Lingyi waited until evening, but Xiao Chengyou still hadn't returned home.
At this time in the past, he would definitely come back.
Xu Lingyi looked at the increasingly dark night, and her heart sank a little.
"Go back."
"Your Majesty, aren't you waiting anymore?" The maid was a little surprised. The Crown Princess had been waiting for several hours.
Xu Lingyi shook her head: "Your Highness may have been delayed by something."
The maid held out her hand and helped her walk back.
As she stepped on the gravel road, Xu Lingyi thought of how she had been punished to kneel on this kind of road many times in her previous life.
The maids and servants who came and went just looked at her like this, and over time, few people treated her as their master.
When she was in the Xu Mansion, Xu Baozhu liked to use this method. Later, when she became Xiao Hengyuan's concubine, she still could not escape Xu Baozhu or this punishment.
All in all, her life was worth it and she had no regrets at all.
If she didn't take this path, she would still have to suffer the same hardships in this life and would always be suppressed under Xu Baozhu and unable to turn over.
If she has children in the future, they will become Xu Baozhu's slaves.
And now Xu Baozhu's whole family is about to die.
They got what they deserved.
Xiao Hengyuan also became a commoner. Although it was a pity that she did not torture him personally and take his life, she was already content with the situation now.
"Your Highness, please be careful with your steps. It's easy to fall on this kind of road. You are pregnant with the little prince."
The nanny who took care of Xu Lingyi frowned when she saw her going down this path, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally she mustered up the courage to persuade Xu Lingyi.
"Madam is right." Xu Lingyi chuckled and walked to the flat road next to her.
She was already pregnant with Xiao Chengyou's child. Even if he knew that she was reincarnated, knew about her past life, and knew that she approached him on purpose, what could he do?
It simply means that I will no longer obey her in everything.
But with the child, her status would not be affected at all, so she really had nothing to be afraid of.
With this mood, Xu Lingyi felt much more relaxed.
She went to eat and wash up on her own, and the next day she learned that Xiao Chengyou had not returned home yet.
Xu Lingyi was completely certain that he must have remembered something.
Otherwise he wouldn't have stayed away from home for so long.
"Your Majesty, would you mind sending someone to check? Perhaps His Highness has been delayed by something."
Xu Lingyi shook her head: "The court affairs are more important, there is no need to disturb Your Highness."
Xiao Chengyou didn't return home for a few days, and the queen noticed something was wrong.
Given her personality, she really doesn't want to interfere in matters between the younger generation.
But Xiao Chengyou had already lived in the palace for five days, and he came to her palace to eat every day and refused to go back.
There was nothing unusual on his face, but he spoke much less.
"You'er." The Queen put down the spoon. "Bring Yi'er here tomorrow. Mother wants to see her."
Xiao Chengyou frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
The queen was even more certain that the two of them were having a quarrel.
"No matter what, when you were imprisoned, she was the only one who suffered by your side. You are husband and wife now. If there are any misunderstandings between husband and wife, you should clarify them. Don't be like your father and mother."
The emperor lifted the curtain and came in. He heard these words as soon as he arrived, but he did not refute them.
"Your mother is right. You should return home today. You don't have to attend court for the next few days. Let's deal with the affairs of the mansion first."
"Your mother and I are both looking forward to having an imperial grandson. As soon as I see my grandson, I intend to abdicate and go to Jiangnan with your mother to see him."
Xiao Chengyou was surprised.
"Go back." The emperor knew that Xiao Chengyou still had a grudge against him, but they were father and son.
Xiao Chengyou had no choice but to return home.
"Your Highness, you are finally back." The attendant hurried forward when he saw Xiao Chengyou.
"Where is she?" Xiao Chengyou asked.
"The queen has gone to bed."
Xiao Chengyou lowered his eyes, "She can sleep well."
He suffers from insomnia every day, but she is heartless.
The attendant guessed that His Highness and the Crown Princess must have had a conflict.
He spoke quickly, "Your Majesty is pregnant. I heard from the imperial physician that pregnant women tend to feel very sleepy. But even so, Your Majesty is still waiting at the door for your return."
"How many days have you waited?" Xiao Chengyou asked.
The attendant stood there in a daze. He didn't expect His Highness to ask this question, and he never took it seriously in the past.
"Did you only wait one day?"
Seeing the attendant's silence, Xiao Chengyou knew what was going on.
He shook his hands vigorously to suppress the ups and downs in his heart.
Is she no longer pretending?
Xiao Chengyou used to just have continuous dreams, but after getting drunk that night, he felt as if he was there in person, and went to a familiar yet unfamiliar world.
