The system's eyes widened. "But you cried yesterday, and you weren't angry at all. Are you still the Yiyi I know?"
"I'm not angry, I'm just pretending."
Xu Lingyi was also in a good mood. Doing a mission was one thing, but being able to enjoy herself while doing it was even better.
…
"I'll feed you."
The emperor held her in his arms.
Xu Lingyi clenched her fists and shook her head. "I...I want to do it myself."
"I'll do it." The emperor shook his head forcefully and held her to sit on his lap.
It seems tender and affectionate, but there is a strong possessiveness in the eyes.
"Yier, be good and listen to me. I've been waking up all night lately, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again."
"Now I have finally captured you back. Only this way can I feel at ease."
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and gave up resisting.
The emperor's brows relaxed. "Eat more. Yi'er worked hard last night."
"Your Majesty, Aning and my senior brother..."
The emperor held her in his arms, his large hands resting on her waist. "I have already released them all. As long as you come back, nothing will happen to them. On the contrary, I will treat them well."
"If you like Aning, I will transfer her to the palace to continue serving you. As for your master, if he is willing, you can ask him to work in the Imperial Hospital. In the future, you can continue to learn medical skills from him. Is that okay?"
Seeing Xu Lingyi lowered her head and remained silent, the emperor stroked her head with his big hand, his eyes doting, "Yier, if you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."
"Um."
The emperor held her face in his hands and said, "I no longer care about what happened before, nor do I ask why you left."
When he revealed his identity that day, her expression seemed to be a little off.
They had clearly agreed that she would wait for him to marry her, but the day after he left, she ran away from there.
He guessed that she must be concerned about his identity.
Other women might try to please him and favor him just because he is the emperor.
But he knew that she was not a woman who loved power.
"People often say that once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. You don't have to be afraid. In my harem, no one can bully you, and you don't have to worry about being restricted in the palace..."
The emperor spoke to himself.
Xu Lingyi wanted to explain and reveal her identity.
But the emperor's big hand covered her mouth directly:
"Don't say it. I don't want to hear it. You don't have to tell me. You have already entered the palace. You can't leave me from now on, let alone leave the palace. So don't say it."
He didn't want to ask further, especially because he was afraid of hearing from her that she ran away because she had no interest in him.
He would rather she was afraid of life in the palace than hear such words.
Xu Lingyi wanted to speak: "But..."
The emperor bit her lips directly until she became limp all over, and then he let her go.
"There's no need to talk about the past anymore. From now on, you just be my wife and I'll treat you well. I'll give you whatever you want, okay?"
Xu Lingyi: “…”
It's not her fault, it's his fault for not listening.
Just don’t get too excited when he sees Li Jinan in the future.
The emperor spoke in a serious tone. Xu Lingyi only needed to raise her eyes slightly to see the emperor's affection for her from his deep eyes.
From the moment she took the initiative to return to Beijing, she had thought about the current situation.
Apart from staying in the palace, she seemed to have no other choice. Even if there was, the emperor was now very interested in her and would not give her a chance.
"Okay." She lowered her eyes.
The emperor's brows relaxed and his dark eyes lit up.
"Yier, remember what you said."
…………
"Your Majesty, I want to go out for a walk."
Xu Lingyi stayed in the emperor's palace for several days, and he kept her by his side except when he attended the morning court.
Fortunately, the emperor seemed to be extremely busy these days and did not do anything else for her.
"Can I go with you later?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head. This was exactly what the emperor said yesterday.
He seemed to be extremely busy, and sometimes when she got up in the middle of the night she would see the emperor still dealing with memorials.
"Then ask Liu Dehai to accompany you."
The emperor gave in.
Although he had been collecting other evidence of the Cui family's crimes in the previous month, he did not take any action against the Cui family.
First, the Cui family is powerful, so if he wants to take action, he must hit the target with one strike.
Secondly, his mind was full of Xu Lingyi last month, and he had no energy to deal with the Cui family.
Now that Xu Lingyi has been found, he also has to deal with serious matters and give her the status he promised her.
Not long after Xu Lingyi walked out of the palace, she ran into the queen.
Xu Lingyi recognized her because she was very similar to Cui Yu, whom she had met before, and they could obviously be sisters.
It’s just that Cui Yu is younger and more beautiful.
"Are you the woman His Majesty brought back to the palace?"
The queen frowned. She didn't care about the emperor, but she cared about the position of queen.
This woman looks like this. If she were a man, I'm afraid he would be attracted to her.
Xu Lingyi nodded slightly.
The queen sneered, her eyes like a cold blade.
"As expected of a woman brought back from outside the palace, you have no manners at all. You don't even kneel when you see me?"
The Queen did not know that the Emperor favored Xu Lingyi, but her beauty made her feel a sense of crisis.
She was afraid that she would threaten her position as queen.
A few days ago, she was worried that Li Xuan would deal with the Cui family and thought that the Cui family had become strangers.
But yesterday her father sent her a message telling her not to worry.
My father said that it would not be easy for the emperor to get rid of the Cui family, and the Cui family was not completely powerless, and they had been making preparations in secret.
