Xu Lingyi never thought that Qi Yuan would not be the emperor.
Now that she has won Qi Yuan's heart, she is just waiting for him to take the throne of emperor, and she will naturally become the queen.
After His Majesty's mourning period is over, she will become pregnant with Qi Yuan's child.
All tasks are completed.
In the future, she can live with Qi Yuan in this world until old age and live a fulfilling and noble life.
After death, she can still be with the immortal and have a new beginning.
Xu Lingyi just felt that everything was going according to her plan.
Even the resentment towards the Xu family dissipated a lot during these smooth days.
Ever since she married Qi Yuan, the Xu family has been keeping a low profile.
She did not marry Qi Yuan as a member of the Xu family, and other families in the capital knew it.
Not only did the Xu family fail to benefit from her, but everyone knew that the Xu family had offended her and Qi Yuan.
Soon, not many families in the capital dared to be on good terms with the Xu family, and no one dared to offend Qi Yuan.
Life became difficult for the Xu family.
Xu Wanning's marriage also fell through. The Marquis' Mansion could accept a daughter-in-law of low social status, but could not accept a daughter-in-law who had a grudge against the future emperor and empress.
Xu Wanning's engagement was broken off, and her life in the Xu family became extremely difficult.
Xu Lingyi never took the initiative to inquire about these things, but many people who wanted to please her told her as if to seek credit.
This is the reality, if you have power you have everything.
————
The emperor died sooner than expected, and passed away before even a month had passed.
Seeing the Queen and Qi Yuan so sad, Xu Lingyi also felt uncomfortable.
No one can interfere with birth, old age, sickness and death. Xu Lingyi once tried to give His Majesty a small amount of medicine.
She didn't dare use too much because she didn't dare to gamble, and she was even more afraid of being discovered. If these heaven-defying things were exposed, everyone would covet them.
The most important person in Xu Lingyi's heart is always herself.
She was willing to help His Majesty only because he was Qi Yuan's father.
But this medicine did not help the emperor much. He seemed to be slightly more energetic for a few days before his body became weak again.
Xu Lingyi didn't dare to take any more risks, and she also understood that the emperor's illness was beyond cure, and even she could do nothing.
After the emperor passed away, besides being sad, Qi Yuan also had many other things waiting for him.
Qi Yuan is now in charge of all affairs in the capital.
Xu Lingyi hadn't seen Qi Yuan for several days, and today was the first time since the emperor's death.
"Your Highness, I made some porridge... You should eat some." Xu Lingyi spoke cautiously.
When the emperor passed away, Qi Yuan and the queen were the saddest people. Qi Yun, as the emperor's eldest grandson, had not appeared in these days for some reason.
Even the other unfavored princes and grandchildren came, except Qi Yun.
But the atmosphere in the palace was so depressing and tense that Xu Lingyi didn't dare to ask too much.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Princess." Seeing that it was her, Qi Yuan's stern face softened a little in an instant.
He even stood up and walked over to her to hold her hand.
"Your Highness is the one who has worked hard. I know you are sad, but you should also take care of your health. I will also be worried if you do this."
The dark circles under Qi Yuan's eyes were clearly visible, and he looked much more haggard in just a few days.
"Okay." At this moment, seeing her face full of heartache, Qi Yuan just wanted to hug her.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Qi Yuan realized that he missed her very much, and she was the only one who could empathize with him.
Gu Qingfeng listened silently beside him. He had advised Qi Yuan many times, but Qi Yuan just wouldn't listen.
As expected, only Xu Lingyi’s intervention will be effective.
Apart from the Queen, Qi Yuan only cares about Xu Lingyi's words.
"In the past few days, including for a period of time later, there are too many things going on in the court, and I may not have time to accompany you."
Qi Yuan spoke with a hint of apology, and he held Xu Lingyi's hand tightly.
"Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when I have time. If you have any problems, send someone to tell me and I will go to see you."
"Okay." Xu Lingyi nodded obediently, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself. I will be waiting for you at home."
There were so many things to do with Qi Yuan that Xu Lingyi heard the eunuch's announcement after just a moment.
It was said that several ministers from the court had arrived and were asking for a meeting outside the palace.
"Your Highness, I will go back first." Xu Lingyi stood up and was about to leave.
But Qi Yuan did not let go, and even held her hand tighter.
"Your Highness?" Xu Lingyi looked down at the two people's interlocked hands.
Qi Yuan sighed, feeling reluctant for the first time.
After his father passed away, he hardly even had time to grieve, as there were too many things for him to deal with and decide.
Qi Yuan personally escorted Xu Lingyi to the door, and then reluctantly let go of her hand.
"You will personally send the princess back."
After Qi Yuan gave Gu Qingfeng his instructions, he looked at Xu Lingyi again.
The two figures overlapped, one tall and one short.
Qi Yuan lowered his head, looking at her with longing, and said gently, "Go back."
Several elders had already seen this scene outside the palace.
It was also the first time for them to see Qi Yuan so sentimental, and they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
How could it be that His Highness, who is so decisive and aloof from women, has a woman he likes?
"I've long heard that His Highness and the Princess are deeply in love. Now it seems the rumors are true. Elder Sun, I'm afraid there's no hope for your granddaughter."
The ministers were not all harmonious, and some even restrained each other.
"Not necessarily. Since ancient times, emperors have always had harems of 3,000 concubines. After ascending the throne, Your Highness will sooner or later fill up the harem. Unfortunately, it seems that there are no women of marriageable age in Elder Lin's family."
Besides, the so-called deep love between husband and wife is nothing but beauty. The girl from the Xu family does look more beautiful than others.
