Cui Yu felt aggrieved. In her opinion, she had done nothing wrong.
"Even though I married him as his principal wife, he only had eyes for that bitch. If she was just a lowly thing, it would be fine, but she was known to be a legitimate princess."
Cui Yu clenched her fists. "If she were alive, and with Li Jin'an's favor, how would I even have a place to stand? Sooner or later, that bitch and Li Jin'an would drive me from my position as princess."
Li Jinan thought she had concealed it very well, but there was no shortage of men in the capital who liked Cui Yu.
She can see clearly whether it is dislike or love.
Even though Li Jinan tried his best to hide it, it was obviously the former.
Cui Yu was proud and arrogant, so how could he accept it?
She thought that if she killed that bitch, the pain would only be temporary, and she would have the rest of her life to spend with Li Jinan.
Who would have thought that Li Jinan was so deeply in love with that bitch that when he knew she was dead, he was so desperate to kill her like a madman.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have married Li Jinan.
"You...you are confused."
"Did the Cui family marry you off because they wanted you to kill someone? I've told you repeatedly that you only need to give birth to a child with Li Jin'an. Once the child is born..."
As long as she and Li Jinan give birth to a child, the Cui family will be more confident now.
But she is just like this, she is so...impatient.
"What's the point of blaming me now? I'm afraid Li Jin'an has already chased me to the capital. Maybe tomorrow he will bring his men to the Cui family to kill me."
Cui Yu's voice was sharp. She was now deeply afraid of Li Jinan. He was a complete lunatic.
Prime Minister Cui's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"Now that the Cui family has not fallen, he dare not."
"He didn't dare to do it before, but Li Jinan now... might be able to do it."
"I want to go into the palace to find my aunt and cousin. I don't believe Li Jinan would dare to go to the palace and act recklessly, let alone commit a crime in the palace."
Prime Minister Cui sighed and wanted to say something, but when he thought of Cui Yu's virtue, he stopped talking.
"You go ahead."
No matter what, the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother. She is the biological mother of His Majesty. The Cui family has not fallen yet. As long as the Cui family is still there, they don't have to panic.
"Send a message to the Queen Mother."
Cui Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
…
"Well, I told you that the Empress Dowager won't make things difficult for you."
The emperor held her hand and walked in the snow.
"Well, the Queen is kinder than I thought."
The Grand Empress Dowager never made things difficult for her, but Xu Lingyi could also sense that she might not like her and was only concerned about the Emperor.
"If you're willing, you can visit the Grand Empress Dowager more often. I should have taken you to see the Queen Mother..."
The emperor sighed, "She is still in the palace. I used to have a good relationship with my mother. Although she supports the Cui family, she still has me in her heart."
Xu Lingyi could feel that the emperor's mood became a little depressed when he talked about the empress dowager.
"It's just that I haven't had any children, and the Cui family kept whispering in her ear... Over time, she began to interfere in the adoption process."
But the Queen Mother did not know that if the Cui family really intervened, a hundred years later, it would be unclear whether the country would belong to the Li family or the Cui family.
"The Cui family not only married their daughter to the Prince of Changshan, but also to other princes from the imperial clan... all in order to support the next emperor. They know I want to weaken the aristocratic families."
He had been soft-hearted many times because the Cui family was his maternal family.
This is like raising a tiger to cause trouble, and it makes the Cui family's ambitions even bigger.
Now we have to start eradicating it.
"If I could have had a son, perhaps we wouldn't have to go through this. We could have relied on each other for survival."
He had been childless for many years, and the empress dowager had long accepted her fate.
On one side is his own son, and on the other side is his mother's family.
Since a son can only be adopted from the royal family, it would be better for the Queen Mother to adopt a son with Cui family blood.
This is where their conflict stems from.
Xu Lingyi listened silently. She was unaware of these things and could not agree with him now.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." The emperor interlocked his fingers with hers. "I'll work harder. Who knows, maybe in another year, you and I will have our own child."
Thinking of what Doctor Wu said about a 10% chance, the emperor's eyes became hot again when he looked at Xu Lingyi.
He leaned over, picked her up by the waist, and walked back with big strides.
"His Majesty……"
Xu Lingyi thought of his ferocious look the night before, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The emperor was amused by her reaction: "Don't be afraid, I was too angry that day and lost my composure... I will be more restrained in the future."
Xu Lingyi met his beast-like burning gaze and could not believe his words at all.
"Your Majesty...perhaps I am already pregnant with your child."
She escaped for a month and then saw the imperial edict again, saying that her senior brother had been arrested.
I had no choice but to return to Beijing with my master. After another month on the road, I was always busy and had no time to pay attention to my health.
Besides, her menstruation had always been irregular in the past, but after entering the palace, she stayed in the palace almost every day.
When she was free, she remembered that she hadn't had her period for almost three months.
But she was still unsure in her heart, and she had to meet the Empress Dowager today, so she didn't tell the Emperor.
The emperor couldn't help but chuckle at this. "Even if I were blessed with great fortune and had managed to hit the target the night before yesterday, it would still take more than a month for Divine Doctor Wu to be able to recover."
"I know Yi'er also wants children... I am the same as you, but good things come to those who wait, and God may not be so kind to you or me."
Xu Lingyi shook his head. "Your Majesty, please ask Master to come and take a look. That night at the villa outside the capital, you also..."
