Because Gu Qingfeng was there along the way, occasionally making people laugh, the days were not boring, and Xu Lingyi could also talk to him.
But sometimes Gu Qingfeng's talkativeness can be a headache.
"Your Highness, when you return to the capital this time, His Majesty and His Majesty will probably no longer worry about your offspring. Although the prince was in danger this time, he also acted as a hero to save the beauty and finally won her heart."
Gu Qingfeng's eyes darted back and forth between Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan, his tone sounding mean.
Seeing that the two of them were just sitting there drinking tea and not talking, Gu Qingfeng didn't find it boring.
"You two are truly a match made in heaven. It seems I was right to bring you together."
He clearly felt that the relationship between the two was no longer as polite as before.
Sometimes the way Qi Yuan looked at Xu Lingyi was as if he wanted to eat her.
Xu Lingyi also often blushes.
Although these two people got married by accident, it was obvious that they were a match made in heaven.
"You talk too much and are too noisy." Qi Yuan put down the teacup, but there was an obvious smile on his face.
Gu Qingfeng's last sentence was exactly what Qi Yuan loved to hear.
"Your Majesty, I'm not a talkative person. Besides, I'm telling the truth."
Qi Yuan didn't say anything when he heard this, but he felt a little happy in his heart.
He and Xu Lingyi were a match made in heaven, and Gu Qingfeng was right about that.
————
Half a month later, Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan returned to the capital.
Although Xu Lingyi was tired from traveling for the past half month, her injuries had healed a lot.
She was lucky and her injuries were not serious. In addition, she secretly used some treasures in the brocade bag, so her body no longer hurts.
Qi Yuan was injured more seriously than her, but he seemed fine. Only when the bandages were changed occasionally could one hear him groan.
The first thing they did when they returned to Beijing was to go to the palace to report that they were safe.
"Yuan'er!"
The emperor and empress were waiting at the palace gate early. If they hadn't been concerned about the emperor's health, they would have been waiting at the city gate.
"But it's okay. Where are you hurt? What did the doctor say?"
The queen held Qi Yuan's arm and looked him up and down, her eyes red and swollen.
Seeing his parents looking obviously haggard, Qi Yuan felt sad.
The emperor and empress had a son in their middle age. Qi Yuan is now nearly thirty years old. They are old and their health is not as good as before.
"It's all right, Queen Mother and Emperor. My injuries are not life-threatening. I will be fully recovered after a few months of rest."
The emperor and empress were temporarily relieved upon hearing this. They saw that Qi Yuan looked good and it seemed that nothing was seriously wrong.
Qi Yuan comforted their hearts and spoke again, "Luckily, the princess saved me this time. If it weren't for the danger, she would have stood in front of me..."
The Queen was deeply moved and quickly held Xu Lingyi's hand. "When I first saw you, I knew you were a good child. How is Yi'er's injury? Are you okay?"
Xu Lingyi nodded, "Don't worry, mother. I am fine. In fact, Your Highness saved me that day."
The emperor and empress looked relieved.
Not only did they return safely this time, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that their relationship had warmed rapidly, and was no longer as close as it was when they first got married.
"This is what husband and wife are like, relying on and supporting each other. Seeing you like this, His Majesty and I feel at ease."
As the queen spoke, she was so relieved that she choked and almost cried.
————
They stayed in the palace for one night before returning to the palace.
Before leaving, the Queen avoided the Emperor and called Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan.
"Your father's body... you also saw it when you came back this time."
The Queen lowered her head and wiped her tears. "Yuan'er, you have always refused to get married. Although your mother and your father pressured you to get married, they did not force you."
"But now you have a family, and you and Yi'er have a mutual understanding. She is the woman you love. When your injuries heal, you can have a child."
"That way, if one day... your father doesn't have any regrets."
The Queen looked at Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan with earnest eyes.
"Yier, Yuaner, what do you think?"
They have to agree to have children themselves.
"Mother, I understand, don't worry."
After receiving such a promise, the queen smiled again.
————
On the carriage back to the palace, Qi Yuan held Xu Lingyi's hand.
"Yier, are you willing to have a child?"
Although Qi Yuan agreed to the Queen's request, he still wanted to ask Xu Lingyi's opinion.
If it weren't for the fact that the emperor and empress were already old, Qi Yuan would not want to have a child so early.
He wanted to spend a few more years of carefree days with Xu Lingyi.
"Your Highness, I am willing."
Whether it was for the mission or for her own sake, she wanted a child.
"Yesterday, seeing Her Majesty so concerned about His Highness's safety, I actually felt a little envious."
She has never felt the love of any parent, whether from her biological parents or adoptive parents.
"I also want to have my own children. What I didn't get, I want to make up for it with my children in the future. I will never be like them. I will definitely learn to be a good mother."
Qi Yuan looked at her with heartache and held her in his arms.
"You can do it, and so can I. Your child will be my treasure."
Although the two decided to have a child in the future, they both had injuries, so the matter had to be postponed.
But Qi Yuan only stayed at peace for half a month, as the palace had the best conditions and the best doctors.
After careful rest, his injuries have improved a lot, and the look in his eyes when he looks at Xu Lingyi these days has become noticeably deeper.
"Want to run again?"
Qi Yuan grabbed her, held her in his arms, and let her sit on his lap.
"Your Highness...your injury hasn't healed yet?"
"I feel that my body is much better now and I don't feel any discomfort."
"But the imperial physician said you need to recuperate for a few more months."
Qi Yuan breathed heavily, and with his rough fingertips he tucked the loose hair from her forehead. "How can the imperial doctors understand my body as well as I do?"
Qi Yuan's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes darkening, "Does Yi'er regret it?"
"Wha...what?" Xu Lingyi pretended to be nervous and shy.
"Have you forgotten, Yi'er? You promised to give birth to a child for this king."
He looked at her, his eyes filled with an undisguised darkness. "Children are not born from heaven. If we are not close, how can we have children?"
After hearing this, Xu Lingyi stopped struggling and sat obediently in his arms.
Seeing how obedient she was, Qi Yuan felt extremely fond of her.
He reached out and touched her abdomen, gently stroking it with his rough fingertips.
His eyes were fixed on her waist and abdomen, dark and deep, and his breathing became faster.
Her waist was so thin and soft that he was afraid it would break if he used a little force. How could she get pregnant?
Qi Yuan couldn't imagine that this place would give birth to their offspring in the future.
