After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
She had not concealed it on purpose, but now that he knew her identity, she still felt somewhat guilty.
"So when I found out you were the Son of Heaven that day, I didn't dare stay with you, so I ran away with my master."
The emperor held her face in his hands and said, "Yier, look at me."
Only then did Xu Lingyi realize that there was no anger in the emperor's eyes, not even a hint of surprise.
"I already know today." The emperor said seriously, "I was outside when you were talking to the miracle doctor. I was not eavesdropping."
"I don't care who you were before. So what if you were the Princess of Changshan? As long as I know you are Xu Lingyi, it's fine."
He thought that even if she was the daughter of the Cui family, he would not care, he also wanted her.
Maybe he would even let the Cui family go for her sake.
His eyes were deep, serious, and full of affection. When Xu Lingyi met his eyes, her heart beat faster unconsciously.
She really only saw pity in his eyes, and he really didn't care about her past.
"I am only thankful that you are lucky enough to have a long life and not be killed by them. I am also thankful that my good brother and his family were blind to recognize a pearl in my eyes. Otherwise, I would never have met you in this life, let alone be with you."
"Your Majesty..." Tears glistened in Xu Lingyi's eyes.
"You really don't mind?"
The emperor nodded: "Really."
"Yier, it was me who captured you back then. I forced you to do what you want. What does it have to do with you? If you care, it should be Yier who cares about me."
"Yier doesn't despise me, how dare I despise you."
His words made Xu Lingyi's lips curl up and she chuckled.
Seeing her smile, the emperor's brows also relaxed.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Who dares to despise Your Majesty?"
The emperor shook his head. "In front of you, I have never considered myself the Son of Heaven. Instead, I consider myself Yi'er's husband. A husband naturally fears being disliked by his wife."
Xu Lingyi couldn't help but lean on his arms, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank me for what?"
The emperor touched her head, somewhat puzzled.
Xu Lingyi smiled faintly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so kind to me."
She stroked her belly and said, "I feel very happy with your majesty and the child in my belly."
"According to what Yi'er said, I should be the one thanking you."
The emperor just thought she was extremely pitiful and cute, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her lips.
His eyes were deep, his breathing was heavy, and he was filled with a strong possessiveness.
Xu Lingyi even thought that if she wasn't pregnant, he didn't know what he would do.
The kiss ended, and the emperor's rapid breathing could be heard in her ears.
His chest was burning hot, and Xu Lingyi clutched his sleeves tightly, her palms now full of sweat.
She leaned weakly in his arms. The emperor looked at her from above. Her cherry lips parted slightly, making her look particularly charming and tempting, making people salivate.
"Yier, Cui Yu and the Concubine Tai harmed you. Do you want to see what happens to them?"
If it were him, and he suffered all this, he would definitely turn these people to ashes.
If Xu Lingyi wanted to take revenge, he would take her there to see it and let her vent her anger herself.
If she didn't want to, the emperor wouldn't let them have an easy time. He would torture them secretly, avenge Xu Lingyi, and never let her know.
Xu Lingyi was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
"I sometimes wake up from dreams about how I narrowly escaped death from the fire that day."
The emperor took her hand and their fingers were intertwined.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine." Xu Lingyi smiled faintly. "It's all over now, but I still have hatred for them in my heart. If I retaliate against them, will Your Majesty think I'm cruel?"
"Of course I won't."
The emperor said, "They treated you like this, so whatever you did was justified. Yi'er, the saints often say that if you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman. So how can revenge be so vicious?"
He would just think that she was too kind. She had never hurt anyone, and now she felt burdened when dealing with such a wicked person.
"In fact, no matter what, I will not let them go. I will not spare the lives of those who have harmed Yi'er. Their death is inevitable."
The emperor didn't want her to have any burden in her heart.
"I have already captured Cui Yu. Yi'er, do you want to go and see him?"
The emperor asked her opinion.
"good."
She also wanted to meet Cui Yu. She wondered what expression Cui Yu would have if she saw her.
"Come on, I'll take you there."
The emperor glanced at Liu Dehai, and Liu Dehai immediately understood.
He knew that His Majesty wanted him to deal with the smell of blood in the dungeon so as not to scare the Imperial Concubine.
"Yier, the dungeon is a bit scary. Are you scared?" asked the emperor.
"No, I don't think I'm as timid as Your Majesty thinks."
The emperor chuckled, "If you're scared later, just lean on me and I'll take you out right away."
"good."
Not only was Xu Lingyi not afraid, but she was also looking forward to seeing Cui Yu's miserable appearance.
She had also harmed the original owner, and the original owner would only feel relieved when seeing this.
Cui Yu didn't know why these people didn't torture her again, even though the emperor hated her so much.
She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
She was in so much pain that she wanted to die. She wanted to bang her head against the dungeon wall and end it all, but she didn't dare to die.
At this moment, he just huddled in the corner, shivering in pain.
When Xu Lingyi came in, she still smelled a strong smell of blood, even though she could tell that the dungeon must have been cleaned up.
"Cui Yu." Xu Lingyi called softly.
The man in the corner raised his head. Cui Yu's face was distorted with pain, and Xu Lingyi almost didn't recognize him.
