Since he is alive, he should follow his heart.

Prince Yan's Mansion.
During this period, Xu Lingyi only occasionally went to the palace during the day to accompany the queen.
Qi Yuan had not yet ascended the throne, so it was not convenient for her to live in the palace.
Xu Lingyi had already fallen asleep, but she felt someone touching her hair in a daze.
"Your Highness!" Xu Lingyi opened her eyes and saw Qi Yuan sitting in front of the bed.
Seeing Qi Yuan, she was a little surprised, "You're back!"
She put her arms around Qi Yuan's neck and hugged him in surprise.
"Well, since I wanted to see you, I will return to the palace."
"Are you unhappy, my lord?"
Xu Lingyi was held in his arms. They were very close, so she could naturally feel his emotions.
"But there are too many things going on in the court?"
Although she was in the palace these days, she also knew what was happening in the court.
When those ministers learned that Qi Yuan was unwilling to take a concubine, they felt as if their ancestral graves had been dug up.
Xu Lingyi pretended to be magnanimous and said, "I don't want to embarrass Your Highness. As long as you have me in your heart, even if you have someone else..."
Xu Lingyi didn't say anything else, but her voice was extremely bitter and choked.
Qi Yuan touched her head and sighed softly. He was a little angry when he heard such words.
But when he thought of her temperament, he felt pity and love for her.
"There won't be anyone else. You don't have to worry. These people are nothing to be afraid of."
All power is in his hands, and there is nothing in the world that he cannot decide.
"If I were to stop being the emperor, would you be willing to take you on a sightseeing trip?"
He was too busy these days and the affairs of state were piled up, so he had almost no time to spend with Xu Lingyi.
After ascending the throne, this situation was probably the norm in the previous year.
In addition to the recent troubles caused by the court officials, Qi Yuan wanted to take Xu Lingyi out for a walk while he was still young and take this opportunity to relax.
Qi Yuan thought that the capital would be temporarily managed by Qi Yun for the next two years.
He will still hold the real power in his hands, and the entire army will only obey his orders.
Most of the important positions in the court are now occupied by his people.
These people might not support him staying with Xu Lingyi alone.
But other than that, he was extremely loyal.
Therefore, Qi Yuan was not worried that the court would be in turmoil.
In this way, he can be away from the capital and free from restrictions, while still being in control of the overall situation.
More than two years later, Qi Yun's health deteriorated, so he returned to Beijing.
Qi Yuan just had this idea, but he still had to see Xu Lingyi's opinion.
"Do you want to leave Beijing and take a look?"
"Okay." Xu Lingyi nodded.
Although Qi Yuan said something similar for the second time, Xu Lingyi still didn't take it seriously.
She had never thought that there would be someone in this world who really didn't want the throne.
