Xu Lingyi had some guesses in her mind and was about to open it, but the emperor reached out to stop her.
"Wait a minute, my beloved. This gift is a bit bloody. Please prepare it first so as not to scare you."
Xu Lingyi almost knew what it was.
She didn't feel scared at all, but excited instead. If the head inside was Princess Minghua's, she would be even happier.
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid. My father is a great general, and as his daughter, I am quite courageous."
Xu Lingyi reached out and opened the box, and inside were indeed Li Xu's eyes.
She was so happy that she was even excited to the point of crying, but she didn't dare show it. She just lowered her head and looked at the box to hide her unusual excitement.
"I promised you before, my beloved, are you happy?"
Xu Lingyi nodded heavily. She was more than just happy.
When she thought of Li Xu's misery at this moment, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
Only at this moment did she truly feel that the path she had chosen after being reborn was very worthwhile.
She chose to enter the palace and chose the emperor, who was more than twenty years older than her and old enough to be her father.
She was not without shame or burden in her heart.
But now she felt more clearly and consciously that she had made the right choice.
Li Xu has been avenged, and now only Princess Minghua is left.
She had a plan in mind. With the help of the baby in her belly and the fake pregnancy powder, it wouldn't be long before she could get rid of Princess Minghua.
Xu Lingyi sat on the bed and happily threw herself into the emperor's arms.
"Your Majesty, on what pretext do you punish this man?"
The emperor quickly hugged her. "My beloved concubine and I are in perfect sync. We both deeply dislike this man. He formed a clique for personal gain before, and it's not that I did nothing. I have collected his letters and other evidence. I originally wanted to wait for some time before dealing with him, but..."
Thinking of Xu Lingyi wanting his eyes and what happened last night, the emperor felt a little guilty and sent Li Xu to the Sky Prison in advance.
Xu Lingyi hugged the emperor's neck and couldn't help but kissed his face: "Your Majesty, I like you so much."
Of course she liked him. He was the ruler of the world, the emperor, the supreme ruler. It was easy for him to take anyone's life.
For example, now, dealing with Li Xu is as easy as dealing with an ant.
If she hadn't been his woman, it would have been much harder for her to deal with Li Xu.
This is the power of authority. The emperor can execute anyone.
It’s a pity that her other enemy, Princess Minghua, has a very special identity.
She knew that it would be quite difficult for the emperor to personally sentence her precious daughter, whom she had raised for more than ten years, to be executed.
But nothing is difficult in this world if you set your mind to it.
Xu Lingyi wanted to see with her own eyes the miserable state of Li Xu, and wanted to see how miserable it was for such an ambitious man like him to fall from the clouds to such a state.
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the prison to see his miserable condition."
The emperor hesitated for a moment, a little worried about her belly: "He has no eyes and looks scary..."
Xu Lingyi shook her head, took the emperor's hand, and softly pleaded, "Please, I'm not afraid. I promise I won't scare me or my child. I truly hate him. He used to look at me with such filthy eyes, as if I were his prey in the near future... The thought of me gives me nightmares. Now, only seeing his miserable state with my own eyes can comfort me."
The emperor scratched her nose and said in a doting tone, "If my beloved concubine wants to go, I will arrange it. However, I can only take you there secretly, lest the news get out and people think it was my beloved concubine who instigated this and ruined your reputation."
After the child was born, he planned to make Xu Lingyi the queen, as the queen naturally had to have a good reputation.
Xu Lingyi soon met Li Xu, who was completely different from the person she saw at the banquet a few days ago.
In the past, he was quite smug and complacent like a favored son of an emperor. No matter how he pretended to be humble, he still had a sense of superiority in his bones.
But now he was completely decadent, lying on the ground, neither human nor ghost, and seemed to have aged by ten years.
If it weren't for that face, she might not have recognized it.
"Your Majesty, how did he become like this?" Xu Lingyi spoke, but her tone was full of gloating.
Li Xu heard Xu Lingyi's voice, her voice was still so touching.
He could even imagine her delicately leaning in the emperor's arms.
A bitch like her is born to seduce men.
Now we follow the emperor to laugh at his joke.
If he were the emperor now, he would be the winner...
He couldn't think any further, he knew in his heart that there was absolutely no hope for him in this life.
There was absolutely no chance for him to leave that position.
"Maybe the bones are too hard." The emperor chuckled.
Xu Lingyi looked at him carefully, memorizing his miserable condition and appearance in her mind so that she could recall it from time to time in the future.

Xu Lingyi was in a good mood because she had dealt with Li Xu.
Even in the following months, when her belly grew bigger and her body became heavier, she felt light-hearted.
"Did you go for a walk today?" The emperor came to see Xu Lingyi and the child after he had just finished dealing with state affairs.
Xu Lingyi is now more than eight months pregnant. The imperial physician said that she will give birth next month and advised her to walk around every day to help with the delivery.
"Hmm." Xu Lingyi covered her stomach and let out a soft cry.
"Your Majesty, the child kicked me again."
The emperor lay beside her legs, his hand touching her belly. The child kicked again at this time, hitting the emperor's hand through her belly.
"This child must be a naughty boy, so energetic." The emperor spoke gently.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to move." Xu Lingyi said coquettishly: "The child kicked me, and I feel uncomfortable."
She has a petite figure and a very thin waist, but her belly is now very big. Xu Lingyi can't even see her toes when she lowers her head. If possible, she doesn't even want to move and just wants to lie down and rest.
Because she felt uncomfortable whether she was standing or sitting, she always had trouble sleeping at night. Not only did she often have leg cramps, but she also had to get up at night.
"My dear concubine, you will be well next month. I will take you for a walk and support you."
Although the emperor was not pregnant, he saw Xu Lingyi's hard work and became more gentle and obedient to her.
Xu Lingyi's plan was also progressing smoothly.
She had a safety amulet and knew that although her pregnancy was difficult, the child would be delivered safely and there would be no danger.
Moreover, His Majesty also arranged secret guards to protect her.
Now, to deal with Princess Minghua, we can only start with the offspring that Your Majesty cares about most.
There is no other way.
In her previous life, Princess Minghua poisoned her mother and sisters-in-law, killing several people.
But the emperor was reluctant to kill Princess Minghua and only punished her.
Princess Minghua is now forbidden by the emperor and the empress dowager to enter the palace, so she needs to be given a chance to enter.
I believe that with Princess Minghua's hatred for her, she will find ways to deal with her and the child in her womb without her having to do anything.
Xu Lingyi has been preparing for this opportunity for several months.
