After Guan Zhiyue and her entourage returned to the palace, Li Qiji organized people to clean the palace inside and out, visited his mother, and finally, after arranging things, took Hua Quan to the Cold Palace.
The Cold Palace.
"Your Highness, you're finally back! I was so scared last night! Those shameless bastards, I hope they didn't do anything to you?"
"Your Majesty..."
The eunuchs in the cold palace were all sobbing uncontrollably. Some were crying for themselves, some for Guan Zhiyue, and others were lamenting what had happened the night before.
Fortunately, the men in black had a clear target and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. They drugged them and left, otherwise their lives would have been in danger. It was simply too heinous.
Guan Zhiyue waved her hand and said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's all in the past, don't think about it so much. Are the food and other things in my back mountain all okay?"
Liu Debao said, "Your Majesty, everything in the back mountain is in good condition. You almost lost your life, why are you still worried about the food in the back mountain? You should be worried about yourself!"
Guan Zhiyue looked at everyone helplessly, only to see that everyone was looking at her with concern and worry on their faces.
"Alright, stop looking so down. I'm back now, everything's fine. Go do whatever you need to do!"
Seeing that Guan Zhiyue had returned empty-handed, Bilian panicked and quickly asked, "Your Highness, where is Princess Chang Le?"
Guan Zhiyue was startled by Bilian. After hearing what she said, she said calmly, "Don't worry, the Emperor will take care of Chang Le in the Emperor's private chamber."
At this moment, Chang Le was inside the space, lying in a cradle with Xiao Tuantuan, blowing bubbles! She had no idea what was happening outside!
When Li Qiji arrived at the Cold Palace, he happened to hear Guan Zhiyue say those words. He touched his nose awkwardly, suddenly unsure how to answer the question.
Because Hua Quan and Ji Wu also looked at him with puzzled expressions, as if to say!
Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Chang Le hasn't been brought out yet!
Hua Quan not only thought this way, but he also did it. "Oh dear, Your Majesty, Princess Chang Le is still in the secret room of the Imperial Study!"
"Shouldn't we hurry up and bring the princess out?"
Li Qiji knew he would have to face this challenge sooner or later.
"I'll go see the Empress first; the key is with her." Li Qiji made up a lame excuse and quickly stepped into Guan Zhiyue's backyard.
Hua Quan was somewhat dumbfounded. How long had it been since someone carried a key to the secret chamber with them? Had his emperor gone mad?
Without having time to think further, he quickly chased after Li Qiji.
"Yue'er, let's go pick up Xiao Chang Le. We haven't seen her all night, and we don't know what's going on inside," Li Qiji said as soon as he saw Guan Zhiyue.
Guan Zhiyue knew exactly what Li Qiji meant, and quickly chimed in, "That's right, I thought you had brought the child. I didn't expect you, as the father, to have forgotten. You're really unqualified!"
Li Qiji thought to himself: Yue'er, is this polite?
On the surface, he feigned remorse and said, "Then let's hurry up and bring that girl Yue'er out, otherwise it won't be good for the child if we delay any longer."
So the two of them strode towards the gate of the Cold Palace. Hua Quan, Ji Wu, and Bi Lian quickly followed. Li Qiji said, "You don't need to follow. I'll take the Empress and come back quickly."
As he spoke, Li Qiji pulled Guan Zhiyue into his arms and, using his lightness skill, carried her towards the Imperial Study.
Fearing exposure, the two actually returned to the imperial study and even went through the secret room. After spending some time together in the space, they finally brought the child out of the secret room.
Just as Li Qiji was getting a taste of the sweetness and feeling incredibly excited, wanting to do it again, he saw Guan Zhiyue blushing all over, especially her earlobes, which were slightly red. Needless to say, her face was incredibly beautiful.
"Yue'er..." Li Qiji's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was trying his best to restrain something. He reached out and took Guan Zhiyue's hand in his. Guan Zhiyue was holding Xiao Changle in one arm and Li Qiji was holding her hand in the other. Her face was flushed and she did not dare to look up at Li Qiji.
Li Qiji had one arm draped around his neck with a yellow silk ribbon, while his other hand was also trying to hold Guan Zhiyue's hand.
"Let's go, let's take the child back to the Cold Palace first, otherwise Bilian and the others will be getting impatient," Guan Zhiyue said.
Li Qiji said, "Okay, let's go back first."
Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji headed towards the Cold Palace and then used their lightness skills to fly back. The round trip took about the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, but it was still too long for Bilian and the others.
Why did it take so long? But if Li Qiji hadn't insisted on pestering Guan Zhiyue, it would have only taken them a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're finally back! I was so worried about you!" Bilian rushed forward to take the baby Chang Le from Guan Zhiyue's arms as soon as the two of them returned.
"Oh my, our Princess Chang Le is no longer in swaddling clothes, she looks so beautiful now."
“Yes, let’s go, let’s go into the palace first, it’s getting windy outside.” Guan Zhiyue looked at Bilian, then at Li Qiji who was still holding her.
The group then entered the backyard of the Cold Palace. Bilian took Xiao Changle to find her wet nurse, while Guan Zhiyue was pulled into the bedroom by Li Qiji.
"What are you doing in broad daylight!" Guan Zhiyue scolded playfully.
Li Qiji, however, was incredibly eager and excited. Although there were still many things to deal with, there were priorities. Right now, he just wanted to hold Guan Zhiyue tightly in his arms and never be separated from her again.
"Yue'er, please don't put yourself in any danger in the future, okay?"
"Do you know how helpless I felt last night watching you being taken away? I hate myself, I hate myself for not being able to break through the obstacles, for not being able to protect you. From now on, please don't leave me again, okay?"
"Promise me you'll stay safely behind me, and I'll do everything in my power to protect you, okay?"
As Guan Zhiyue watched the man begin to cry as he spoke, her heart trembled violently. What was this? A tough guy crying on cue?
"No, it's alright, stop crying. You're a grown man, why are you crying? From now on, we'll only be separated by death, not by life!"
"Alright, we can only be separated by death, not by separation!"
"From now on, all I want is to live and die with you. Yue'er, let's be together, live a good life, and raise the next generation well, okay?"
"good!"
Seeing that Guan Zhiyue had agreed, Li Qiji slowly said, "Yue'er, let's have a child, a child of our own, the fruit of our love, and proof of our love!"
Guan Zhiyue was dazed and confused, captivated by Li Qiji's seductive voice, and shyly murmured "Mmm".
Li Qiji got a response, turned over and pounced on Guan Zhiyue. Only after Li Qiji had completely taken advantage of Guan Zhiyue did Guan Zhiyue remember what Li Qiji had said and done.
He exclaimed afterward!
Beauty can be a trap! Beauty can be a trap!
