"Yier, I'm back."
He sat on the bed and looked at her back silently.
"Mother promises that she will never touch a hair on your head again in the future." Li Jinan said.
Xu Lingyi sneered, "Your Majesty, do you believe it yourself?"
"I almost lost my life this time. I just want to know what punishment the Concubine Dowager received."
Li Jinan was silent.
"You can't say anything, which means that even if the Concubine treated me like this today, she will not be harmed at all."
"You are unwilling to divorce me, and now you have locked me up. Do you want me to wait for death in your mansion? Do you really want to wait until the day I die before you are willing to punish the Concubine..."
Li Jinan covered her mouth directly, "I won't allow you to talk about death, Yi'er, I said I won't put you in danger again."
"This time, I feel guilty towards you. If anyone else were to harm you, I would tear her into pieces. But she is my mother, who gave birth to me and raised me..."
"I never thought that you would punish the Concubine Dowager for me. I don't want to live in fear for the rest of my life. I just want a divorce."
Li Jinan's face instantly darkened. He stared at her intently and finally spoke through gritted teeth.
"Unless I die, you can only be my wife. Besides, Yi'er, do you really have no feelings for me anymore? You once said that you couldn't live without me. Have you forgotten?"
"If you leave me, where can you go? Who would dare to want you?"
"Yier, I know you're afraid, but you don't really want to divorce, right? I promise I won't put you in danger again. Please don't even think about divorce, okay?"
Xu Lingyi didn't say anything. Li Jinan sighed and hugged her in his arms.
The next day Xu Lingyi discovered that her door was still locked.
"I'm afraid you'll leave, and I'm even more afraid of what Mother will do. The guards outside are there to protect you. Be patient, and we'll move out soon."
"Since you are protecting me, why don't you go and lock up the Concubine Dowager?"
"How do you know that there is no one at Mother's place?"
Li Jinan hugged her, "This prince knows you better than you know yourself. My Yi'er always keeps her word. Since you're thinking of a divorce... you're likely to run away. Otherwise, how could this prince bear to keep you locked up?"
"When Yi'er doesn't want to divorce anymore, I will let you out immediately."
"What if I want a divorce my whole life? Will Your Majesty lock me up for the rest of my life?"
Li Jinan remained silent.
"This bastard actually has this idea?" The system was angry.
Xu Lingyi was imprisoned for two months, but Li Jinan would personally take her out for a walk every evening.
But these days, no matter how she asked, he was unwilling to take her out.
"Yiyi, the Queen Mother has granted this bastard a marriage contract. The imperial decree arrived the day before yesterday, and Li Jinan accepted it. He's getting married."
